The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian knew that Daiyu often slept very late, so he was not worried about disturbing her.

Sure enough, when Jia Lian knocked on the door and went in, Daiyu's room was still brightly lit.

Outside, the girl Zijuan was sewing a pair of insoles, but she was already very sleepy and nodded from time to time.

Suddenly he saw Jia Lian coming in and hurriedly stood up.

Jia Lian also gave her a gesture to silence her, and then asked in a low voice: "Where is Sister Lin? Is she asleep?"

"No, the girl is reading in the inner room."

Jia Lian nodded, lifted the curtain and went in.

Sure enough, Daiyu was lying on her little couch as usual, with her body leaning sideways, and no one knew what book she was reading.

Jia Lian crouched down and wanted to tease Daiyu, but before he could get close, he heard Daiyu's voice: "Didn't you go to your aunt's house for a drink? Why are you here again?"

Jia Lian paused. How could he forget that Daiyu had a pair of sharp ears, and everything within a radius of ten meters could hardly escape her ears!

Perhaps because she did not hear Jia Lian's answer, Daiyu looked back and naturally noticed Jia Lian's sneaky look.

She scolded angrily: "You are already grown up, and you still play such childish games."

Not only did you play it for fun, but I also found out about it. Isn't that embarrassing?

Jia Lian naturally did not feel embarrassed, and he straightened his posture and sat next to Daiyu.

Daiyu felt the vibration of the bed and smelled a faint smell of alcohol. She frowned and said, "Sister Bao's wine is delicious, right? I made you drink so late before coming back. You must have worked hard."

Jia Lian pretended to smack his lips and said with a smile: "It's not bad. Anyway, I like it very much."

Daiyu snorted coldly, "I think you are not interested in drinking! Humph, you are full of alcohol and have made my room dirty."

"What do you mean by the drunkard's intention is not to drink? Why don't I understand what Sister Lin said?"

"Don't you understand? Some people don't forget to bring gifts when they leave the city. Who doesn't know Sima Zhao's intentions?"

Jia Lian blinked his eyes. "Are you talking about the owl I gave Bao Yatou? Didn't you know about this a long time ago? Why are you bringing it up now?"

Lin girl, your jealousy must be rotten, right?"

"Pfft~"

Zijuan, who came in to pour tea for Jia Lian, couldn't help laughing when she heard what Jia Lian said.

"Second Master, you don't know that Miss Yun used the night...owl you gave Miss Bao to show off everywhere, as if it were a rare treasure.

Our girl will naturally be unhappy when she sees this.”

Daiyu was already embarrassed by what Jia Lian said, and when she heard Zijuan not helping her but speaking for outsiders, she was even more angry. Not wanting to talk to anyone anymore, she picked up the book in her hand and glanced back and forth.

Jia Lian was immediately happy and put his hand on Daiyu's shoulder. He was shaken away by her willow swing, but Jia Lian didn't care and said with a smile: "You are too stingy. You are a rich woman with hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you like any pet, just ask Zijuan and others to buy it for you.

How miserable is Baoya? Although her family is rich, she is just a daughter. Sooner or later, she will get married. I guess she doesn't have any spare money to buy the things she likes.

I just picked up a baby bird by chance, and thought that she had been in our family for so long but I hadn't given her any decent gift, so I decided to give it to her.

Besides, I can’t give you this owl.”

Daiyu didn't feel anything about Jia Lian's previous ramblings, but it was his last sentence that piqued her interest.

She finally sat up a little and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Think about it, this owl is a bird of prey. And in your house, there are starlings, parrots, and fat squirrels...

These are all its food!

Oh, and there is also this parrot that you trust and rely on the most...

You said, isn't this owl incompatible with the people in your house? If I give it to you, won't it harm them?"

As Jia Lian spoke, he winked at Zijuan who was bringing him some tea.

Zijuan rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

What's the point of always making fun of her old name?

Jia Lian's words left Daiyu speechless.

Although she didn't believe in things like zodiac incompatibility, she completely gave up the idea of ​​keeping a bird of prey in the museum.

In fact, although she also thought that the baby owl was cute and lovable, she still felt that the fat "Ah Jiao" that she had raised with great effort was more well-behaved and lovely.

When she thought about how the owl would eat cute little creatures like Gillian when it grew up, especially when she thought about the scene of her own Gillian being caught by it and bitten to death, she no longer had any good feelings towards the owl.

He didn't know if it was because he had drunk too much or because Daiyu's room smelled too good, but Jia Lian actually felt a little sleepy sitting next to the couch.

If you want to do it, just do it. Jia Lian is not polite at all. He just kicks off his boots and lies down.

Since there was no pillow, he pulled Daiyu over with him.

Jia Lian naturally held her in his arms, holding her sideways as she fell asleep.

Daiyu was shocked by Jia Lian's series of actions, and when she came to her senses, she naturally refused to do it.

"You're so stinky, it makes me feel so uncomfortable."

The book in Daiyu's hand had fallen somewhere long ago, and she was kicking and struggling in Jia Lian's arms.

"Don't move, girl Lin. Let me lie down. I'm so sleepy."

Daiyu pretended not to hear and continued to struggle. When she found that she could not get free, she whispered, "Then, for a little while..."

"Um……"

However, after Jia Lian actually lay down, how could he still feel sleepy?

Especially when he held Daiyu's body in his arms, although the touch was not as full as Baochai's, she was also warm, soft, petite and pleasant.

After a while, he began to explore Daiyu's body dishonestly.

Daiyu originally believed that Jia Lian was really tired and sleepy. After all, it was so late and Jia Lian still came to see her. This was also the reason why she was willing to be held by Jia Lian.

She also helped Jia Lian understand his initial small actions as subconscious actions of "lustful desires are hard to change".

But when Jia Lian's actions became more and more excessive, she naturally realized that she had been deceived again.

In shame and anger, she lowered her head and bit Jia Lian's arm hard.

"Oh, you are born in the year of the dog?"

As expected, the attack worked. Jia Lian pushed her away and sat up without her even saying anything. He rubbed her while lifting her robe to check.

"Bah, you deserve it. Who told you to... not be honest..."

Daiyu felt relieved when she saw Jia Lian in pain, and she forgot about Jia Lian's behavior. Then she saw Jia Lian unbuttoning his robe to check the wound in front of her. Although she was embarrassed to look directly at Jia Lian's body, she couldn't help but start to worry.

"Is he really hurt?"

Daiyu wasn't sure if she had gone too far. After all, it was the first time she had bitten someone so hard.

So he knelt down with a slightly apologetic look and helped Jia Lian take off his clothes to check.

"Look, there are bite marks. Lin Daiyu, you have such a cruel heart!"

When Jia Lian was bare-chested and had his arms completely extended from his sleeves, Daiyu suddenly saw a circle of deep, neatly cut teeth marks on his arms.

The meat in the circle was visibly purple, but the tooth marks were red, as if they were about to bleed.

Daiyu was startled and grabbed Jia Lian's arm to take a closer look, and then her eyes became red.

"I'm sorry, Brother Lian, I didn't know. I thought it would be okay because of the clothes..."

In the past, when Jia Lian bullied Daiyu, Daiyu would bite him when she was angry, but she usually bit her hand. Every time Jia Lian cried out in pain, but in fact, nothing happened, which made her feel that Jia Lian was thick-skinned and could completely ignore her attacks.

Seeing that she had left such a deep scar on Jia Lian, she felt heartbroken and regretful, and tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes at lightning speed.

Seeing this, Jia Lian was stunned.

Daiyu's bite must have hurt, but it was just that painful for Jia Lian. Moreover, not to mention that he was the one who was attacked first, even if it was a piece of meat bitten off by Daiyu, Jia Lian would not even blink an eye!

The reason why he was so exaggerated was just to tease her like before.

Unexpectedly, it made her cry.

Although Daiyu often cries, but at this moment, seeing her tears falling, Jia Lian's soft spot is constantly touched.

Jia Lian gently held the crying Daiyu in his arms and comforted her: "Okay, I was just kidding you, it doesn't really hurt. Silly girl, you are so stupid that you fall for me every time."

Daiyu couldn't listen to it. If the teeth marks were so deep, she would be in so much pain if they fell on her body.

Therefore, I cried even more and blamed myself.

Jia Lian was helpless and said, "How about you let me take a bite and give it back?"

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, wiped her eyes and sat up.

He hesitated for a moment and stretched out his arm: "Here, you bite it."

Jia Lian smiled and picked up Daiyu's thin arm. He couldn't help but find it funny to see her frowning, clenched teeth, and nervous and scared look.

He raised Daiyu's arm in front of him and looked left and right deliberately, as if he was considering where to start.

The look of a tiger about to pounce made Daiyu's heart tremble.

But she stubbornly controlled her will and refused to let it pull back her arm.

Jia Lian gently left a kiss on the back of her hand.

Seeing Daiyu's puzzled look, he said, "Silly girl, how could I bear to bite you? If I really hurt you, I will be the one who will feel sad."

Seeing Daiyu about to cry again, Jia Lian couldn't stand it anymore and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, don't cry for now. If you really feel sorry, just blow on it for me, and it won't hurt anymore."

Although Daiyu felt it was a bit childish, there seemed to be no other way at the moment.

Could it be that Jia Lian really wanted to bite her? She was most afraid of pain.

So she wiped her tears, moved closer and lifted Jia Lian's arm again... Only then did she realize that only half of Jia Lian's body was covered with robes, and his strong body was half-covered.

Daiyu didn't dare to look at it any longer. She lowered her head tremblingly and blew gently on the wound caused by her bite.

Not to mention, the wind blowing out of Daiyu's mouth seemed to have the ability to heal. Along with the cool breeze, Jia Lian not only felt no pain, but also felt a sense of comfort in his arms.

Daiyu knew how to comfort people when she was serious. She blew twice and rubbed Jia Lian with her hands. After repeating this twice, she looked up and asked Jia Lian how he felt.

Jia Lian smiled and said, “I used to think that Sister Lin must be the reincarnation of a fairy from heaven, but now I have changed my mind.

Lin Daiyu must be a fairy herb from heaven. She doesn't need to learn any medical skills. She only needs to exhale a breath of fairy air to heal all the pain and diseases in the world.

It seems that if I get sick or injured in the future, I don’t need to look for a doctor anymore, I can just let Sister Lin treat me.”

Daiyu smiled and said, "You are so talkative."

After saying this, he stole a glance at Jia Lian's body, turned his head and ordered: "Why don't you put on your clothes? You look so unbecoming."

"What are you afraid of? There's no one else in your room. Besides, I saw you yesterday, so it won't hurt to let you see it today..."

"you……"

Daiyu had not yet gotten over this hurdle in her heart, so how could she not feel ashamed and angry after hearing what Jia Lian said?

But thinking about Jia Lian's gentleness just now, she couldn't bring herself to curse him.

After a moment of silence, she said, "It's getting late, you should go back. It would be bad if Sister Feng sends someone to invite you later."

In fact, Daiyu had been thinking about how to get along with Fengjie in the future for a long time.

Today, Grandmother Jia asked her to sit at the table with the other wives, which finally left her with no way out and she had to face it.

She didn't want to argue with Feng Jieer, and she didn't want Feng Jieer to misunderstand her.

Therefore, she didn't want to see Feng Jieer send someone to call Jia Lian back, as that would make people think that she was competing for favor with Feng Jieer.

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, hugged Daiyu again, kissed her on the forehead, and then said, "Then you should go to bed early. I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Daiyu frowned slightly.

Although she knew that Jia Lian seemed to be free now, wasn't it inappropriate for him to come to see her so attentively?

I saw her last night, I saw her at noon, and you didn't even come tonight. Now you want to come see her early tomorrow morning?

He opened his mouth, but in the end didn't say much. He nodded to show that he understood.

When walking out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Lian sighed secretly and truly realized that some words are really difficult to say calmly in front of people you care about.

Ever since he separated from Baochai, he has been thinking about how to make it easier for Daiyu to accept Baochai's existence.

He wasn't too worried about Sister Feng.

Jia Lian tilted his head to look at Zijuan who was following him with a lantern, and shook his head.

Forget it, let’s wait until tomorrow to take them both out of the city.

With Daiyu's intelligence, she will definitely be able to see the clues by then. Once she is mentally prepared, it should be easier to comfort her.
