The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 576: Meet in the West Chamber

Zhang Yun逸 walked briskly, and in just over a quarter of an hour he returned with two heaters in his hands.

This time, he didn't swing his arms exaggeratedly.

Lin Daiyu seemed to have noticed this as well. Her dark eyes moved back and forth between the two heaters, as if she was thinking about something.

Zhang Yunyi placed the stove next to Lin Daiyu and asked, "Is it warmer?"

"It's not cold!" Lin Daiyu answered irrelevantly, "Brother Yi, don't be cold..."

As she spoke, she suddenly opened her arms, but suddenly she caught sight of the dress that was sticking to her body. She was so frightened that she hurriedly closed her coat and her voice stopped abruptly.

Zhang Yunyi exaggeratedly pulled up his collar twice and said with a smile: "I'm fine! I just ran a lot and I'm still a little hot!"

As he was speaking, Zijuan, holding clothes and a towel, hurried over.

"Girl! Why did you fall into the water for no reason?"

As she placed the clothes and towels she had brought on the table, she said, "If it weren't for the fact that you were thoughtful and remembered Miss's birthday and went to look for her specially..."

Due to the urgency of the situation, Zhang Yunyi did not have time to explain the details, and Zijuan did not know why Lin Daiyu fell into the water.

If he hadn't made up the story of Lin Daiyu falling into the water, why would she go to the pond to pick up flower petals? And why would she fall into the water?

Zhang Yunyi touched his nose awkwardly and interrupted, "I'll go outside and wait for her. Hurry up and help Sister Lin change her wet clothes!"

Lin Daiyu noticed his embarrassment, but did not say anything, just smiled cunningly.

"Hey! Hey! Thank you for your help, sir!"

Zijuan didn't want to help Lin Daiyu change her clothes and try them on as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Yunyi was present, so she couldn't take direct action, nor did she dare to kick him out. But she couldn't just stand there either, so she had to find an excuse and wait for Zhang Yunyi to leave on his own, or for Lin Daiyu to speak.

Of course, it would also be helpful to help Zhang Yun逸 gain some favor and gratitude.

After Zhang Yunyi closed the door and left, she hurriedly took off Lin Daiyu's wet clothes, wiped them carefully with a towel, and then changed her into a clean set of clothes, and wrapped Lin Daiyu in a thick fox fur coat like a quilt.

Then she put the back of her hand on Lin Daiyu's forehead to feel whether it was hot or cold, and said, "Young lady, please keep warm first. I have asked Xueyan to prepare some hot water. When you are warmer, we can go back and take a bath!"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was in a daze, with a hint of smile on her face but no response, Zijuan did not disturb her and turned around to pack up her clothes.

Suddenly, I heard Lin Daiyu's low humming.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look over, wondering, "What is this girl singing?"

"Fairy song..." Lin Daiyu responded subconsciously, and then lowered her head as if she had just reacted.

"Fairy song?" Zijuan was confused.

Then, his face changed and he hurriedly reached out his hand and touched Daiyu's forehead again.

Lin Daiyu saw Zijuan's worry, but was too embarrassed to explain, and her face turned red for a moment.

"It was fine just now, why is it hot again now?"

Zijuan touched her forehead again and said in a panic, "I will ask Master Yi to find a doctor right away!"

"No...it's okay!"

"The girl is weak to begin with, this is no small matter!"

As she spoke, she put the wet clothes in her hands on the table. Just as she was about to go out to find Zhang Yunyi, she heard a 'ding' sound.

Zijuan quickly looked down and saw a golden chain falling to the ground.

Lin Daiyu was also startled. Without waiting for Zijuan to bend down to pick it up, she put down her legs and was about to get off the table to pick it up.

"Don't move, girl!"

Zijuan understood what she meant, and quickly bent over to pick up the necklace from the ground. She handed it to Lin Daiyu, and looked at it briefly, wondering, "Whose key is this?"

Lin Daiyu burst out laughing, took the key and held it tightly in her hand, but did not answer. Instead, she pounded her chest lightly twice.

Zijuan misunderstood her meaning, and hurriedly patted Lin Daiyu on the back and asked, "What's wrong? Did the girl choke on the water?"

"Puchi" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Girl!~ Please tell me! I am so anxious, how can you still laugh?"

"This... this is a gift from Brother Yi, it means happiness..."

After all, Lin Daiyu didn't want Zijuan to worry too much, so she said it shamelessly.

"Ah? Happy?"

Zijuan was startled for a moment, then seemed to react, and cautiously asked: "Could that fairy music also be the master..." Seeing that Lin Daiyu did not speak, but nodded slightly, Zijuan was relieved, and complained: "Why didn't the young lady say it earlier? You really scared me to death!"

As she spoke, she bowed to Lin Daiyu again and said with a smile, "I, your servant, congratulate you, young lady..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Daiyu blushed and said shyly, "It's just..."

She, who was usually eloquent, was suddenly speechless.

He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Oh, right! Brother Yi is not wearing a coat, hurry up and ask him to come in, or he will get cold!"

"Hey! I'll go right away!"

Lin Daiyu regretted the moment she said this.

However, Zijuan did not give her a chance to change her mind. She just agreed and pushed the door open and left.

"What do you think, Sister Lin? Is there anything wrong?"

When she saw Zhang Yunyi enter the room, she became even more embarrassed and dared not look up. She lowered her head and nodded slightly, but suddenly realized something was wrong and shook her head hurriedly.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Yunyi's boots stained with mud and soaked, and the hem of his robe stuck to his calves and soaked.

Lin Daiyu didn't care about being shy, and quickly raised her head and said, "Brother Yi, your shoes and body are wet, and you've been in the wind for so long, go back and take a hot bath! I'm fine!"

People who are attentive often notice details that others overlook.

Lin Daiyu is obviously a person with a delicate mind.

Before this, whether Zhang Yun逸 shook his arms or left the mud on his shoes undealt, he did it on purpose.

But, saying this kind of thing out loud seems a little deliberate.

After all, people are always more willing to believe the "truth" they have discovered, so he just kept traces and gave some guidance in a rather obscure way, but did not deliberately publicize it.

At this moment, seeing that Lin Daiyu noticed this detail, Fang pretended to have just noticed something, and his ten toes moved uncomfortably twice in his boots.

But he said, "It's just shoes and trouser legs, it's not a big deal, but sister, are you warmer?"

Zijuan was quite perceptive and said, "It's very uncomfortable to have wet feet. Sir, you should go back first. If you are worried about the young lady, I will help you take off your boots and warm them on the stove first..."

As he spoke, he looked hesitant and glanced at the only table in the room.

"still……"

As soon as Zhang Yunyi said two words, Lin Daiyu moved slightly to the side of the table, making room for him, and said, "Brother Yi, come up and sit down!"

This time, Zhang Yun逸 did not refuse and sat at the table side by side with Lin Daiyu.

Zijuan quickly picked up the heater, squatted in front of the table, and took off his shoes and socks.

"My master's feet are like ice cubes. If they are frozen, how can you rest assured?"

Zijuan exaggeratedly put Zhang Yunyi's big feet on her legs, wrapped them with the hem of her skirt, and wiped them.

Seeing that neither of them responded, he realized that his words seemed a bit redundant.

He quickly closed his mouth and said no more. He just carefully held Zhang Yunyi's big feet and placed them on the stove to warm them.

Although he enjoyed this atmosphere very much, Zhang Yunyi was also worried about Lin Daiyu's health.

After a cup of tea, he said to Zijuan, "Hurry up and send Sister Lin back home. Let her take a hot bath. I'll go to the Imperial Hospital and ask a doctor to come over and take a look!"

After saying that, he jumped off the table, without even putting on socks, and put on his dirty boots.

"Don't..." Lin Daiyu said hurriedly, "It's better not to look for the imperial physician..."

"Did Sister Lin forget?" Zhang Yunyi winked at Lin Daiyu and said with a smile, "You are not feeling well today. What's wrong with seeing the imperial physician?"

"This..." Lin Daiyu was also guilty and was so worried about being found out that she ignored her previous refusal.

But even so, she still looked at Zhang Yunyi evasively, hesitating to say, "What about today's matter, Brother Yi..."

"Don't worry, sister. This is our common secret..."

Speaking of their shared secrets, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but recall the scene when she was discovered by him in the West Chamber, and her face suddenly turned red.

But she hesitated for a moment, then bit her lower lip, raised her pretty face with blushing eyes, looked at Zhang Yunyi, and said with trembling eyelashes: "The story in the book...I am still a little curious!"

"When you are well again, come to my place if you want to see it!"
