The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 575: Real Sister
Everyone in Rongqing Hall was feeling emotional because of Zhang Yunyi.

Zhang Yunyi returned to Ningguo Mansion and sneaked into the Grand View Garden through the east corner gate.

As soon as I entered the east corner gate of the Grand View Garden, I saw Zijuan hiding in front of the bamboo fence of Qingtang's thatched cottage, peeking out.

Zhang Yunyi stepped forward quickly and asked, "How is it?"

"I watched the girl pass by from afar, and was worried that you wouldn't be able to catch up!"

Zhang Yunyi stretched out his hand and pinched Zijuan's waist as a reward, and nodded and said, "Okay! You go back first! If Sister Lin asks, just say that I met you on the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion first."

After saying that, he stepped onto the bamboo fence path, took two steps at a time, and climbed up the Qinfang Gate Bridge.

Walking down the Grand View Building and turning to the Aojingxi Pavilion, he called out softly all the way: "Sister Lin...Sister Lin..."

Walk towards the flower burial mound.

When he turned into the valley, he bumped into Lin Daiyu, who was wearing plain clothes and carrying a medicine hoe.

Suddenly seeing Zhang Yunyi, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Daiyu's self-pitying face, but she hid it in time, blinked her eyes with affection, and asked in confusion: "Yi... Why is Brother Yi here?"

Zhang Yunyi took out a necklace with a key-shaped pendant from his bosom, handed it to Lin Daiyu, and explained with a smile: "Today is my sister's birthday. I didn't see my sister earlier. I heard that she was unwell. I ran into Zijuan on the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and just found out that my sister came here..."

Lin Daiyu bent down to put down the medicine hoe and wiped her hands on her dress. She took the necklace in her hand and looked at it, wondering, "Why is there a key hanging on the chain?"

Zhang Yunyi smiled and said with a double meaning: "Of course it's for my sister's happiness!"

Lin Daiyu was stunned at first, then a blush appeared on her face. She clutched the necklace in her hand, curled her lips, and pretended not to understand: "Brother Yi is just talking nonsense. The heart is not a lock. How can there be a key to open it?"

Seeing Lin Daiyu's riddle, Zhang Yunyi said calmly: "Although I can't really open my heart, as long as I can make you smile, it will be worth my nonsense and far-fetched rhetoric..."

This clichéd routine from the previous life has set a precedent in this era.

Not only did Zhang Yunyi remember his birthday, but he was also so thoughtful. How could Lin Daiyu remain indifferent?

However, she lost her father and mother at a young age and was naturally sensitive, so she was inevitably a little timid. She just lowered her head and murmured, "Brother Yi is thoughtful."

Seeing that she seemed to be in low spirits, Zhang Yunyi looked at the medicine hoe on the ground, changed the subject, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing, sister?"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly put the necklace carefully into her bosom, then bent down to pick up the medicine hoe, and said with emotion: "Flowers do not stay in bloom for a hundred days, people do not stay good for a thousand days, flowers bloom and fade in just one spring, and I saw the petals withered all over the ground, so I thought of building a flower grave for them, I'm sorry to make fun of you, Brother Yi..."

"Fallen petals are not heartless, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers. Although these petals have fallen all over the ground, they are also an act of gratitude to the spring mud..."

Zhang Yunyi quoted a poem and said, "As far as I'm concerned, there's no need to bury them on the ground. On the contrary, fallen flowers have feelings, but flowing water is ruthless. Even if the flowers are in full bloom, once they are soaked in water, they will stink..."

Such sad words are most likely to move female intellectuals like Lin Daiyu.

In addition, these two sentences are also famous quotes that have been passed down to later generations. Lin Daiyu recited them for a while and savored the profound meaning of them more and more.

Lin Daiyu exclaimed: "Brother Yi is really insightful and always makes people think deeply. The song of burying flowers that my sister just composed seems even more petty in front of Brother Yi!"

"Oh?" Zhang Yunyi asked curiously, "Read it out loud!"

"Flowers fade and fly all over the sky, who will pity them when their redness and fragrance fade? Soft silk threads float along the spring pavilion, and falling catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtains..."

As soon as Lin Daiyu finished reading, Zhang Yun逸 began to hum the song from his previous life.

His voice was rough, and instead of singing out sorrow, he sang out several different emotions in this song of burying flowers. Lin Daiyu fluttered her eyelashes and said in surprise: "Brother Yi actually knows music..."

At this point, a hint of sadness appeared on his face. He glanced at Zhang Yunyi and asked, "Could it be the credit of my elder sister?"

"This is not an ordinary song!" Zhang Yunyi said with a smile, "This is the tune of the immortals!"

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu's brows relaxed, but a blush appeared on her face again. She hurriedly turned her head away and looked at the flower petals by the pool. She said, "Brother Yi was right. I will pick up these flower petals right away!"

As she spoke, she walked to the edge of the pond, squatted with her back turned, and reached out to scoop up the petals in the water.

Unexpectedly, the soil beside the pond was soft, and she was flustered and lost her balance, and fell into the water with a splash.

Zhang Yunyi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He stepped forward quickly, grabbed Lin Daiyu's ankle, and pulled the wet Lin Daiyu up.

Fortunately, it was just at the edge of the pool, and Zhang Yunyi acted in time, so Lin Daiyu did not choke on the water.

However, although it was already spring, it was only mid-February after all, and the weather was still chilly. Lin Daiyu was weak, so he quickly took off his coat, wrapped it around Lin Daiyu, then picked her up and rushed out of the valley.

As the saying goes, in an emergency, he had to make decisions based on his own situation. He didn't care and didn't want to miss the opportunity. He didn't even ask Lin Daiyu's opinion. He said without question, "I'll take you back right away!"

I thought Lin Daiyu would at least struggle a few times, but unexpectedly, she curled up quietly in his arms, only whispering softly: "Yi...Brother Yi, don't go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, don't let anyone see you!"

Although Yuanchun and other girls went to live with Grandmother Jia, there were still many maids in the Grand View Garden.

Zhang Yunyi was slightly startled, and quickly said, "Then go to my place!"

"Don't... let the gatekeeper see us..." Lin Daiyu said timidly, "Qing... Qingtang thatched cottage, there is no one there, please ask Brother Yi to ask Zijuan to send some clothes over..."

Zhang Yunyi also had to praise Lin Daiyu for her quick thinking. At this time, she was not in a hurry and immediately found Qingtang thatched cottage, which was the closest place and had few people paying attention to it.

Although it is not as convenient as going to one's own house, but now that she has a soft and fragrant embrace, it is also a big improvement.

If he really carried Lin Daiyu into his home like this, I'm afraid that although the coldness in his body would be gone, the pain in his heart would be hard to get rid of.

Therefore, he did not insist, and holding Lin Daiyu's delicate body, he ran into the Qingtang thatched cottage in one breath.

After putting Lin Daiyu down on the table, he considerately put her loose coat back on her and shook his arms exaggeratedly.

"Wrap yourself up, sister. Don't catch a cold!"

Lin Daiyu looked embarrassed and pursed her lips unconsciously. She didn't pay attention to whether she was wrapped tightly. She asked: "Is it because my sister is too heavy? Is Brother Yi's hand sore?"

Lin Daiyu probably weighs less than 90 kilograms, and Zhang Yunyi is diligent in exercising, so how could he not be able to hold her?
It's just that I suddenly remembered a certain plot from my previous life and was just pretending.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's question, he walked straight to the door without stopping. Before closing the door, he turned around and smiled at Lin Daiyu, "It's not that my sister is heavy, it's that I was afraid of hurting you if I hugged you too tight, and I was afraid of you falling if I hugged you too loosely. My hands were in a dilemma, so they were sore!"

After saying that, he quickly closed the door and rushed to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Only Lin Daiyu was left with a dazed look on her face, hugging the coat wrapped around her body tightly.

I don’t know if it was because of shame or the cold, but a strange blush gradually appeared on her face.
