Dream of the Red Chamber: Daiyu and I swapped clothes

Chapter 48 I'm not wearing any clothes?
It goes without saying who replaced it the time it was missing.

It couldn't have fallen down by itself.

Lin Daiyu's cheeks flushed red, and her heart pounded.

The thought that her body had probably been completely exposed and thoroughly examined by that playboy during this body swap made Lin Daiyu involuntarily tighten her clothes, her waist trembling slightly.

"Shameless! You lecher! I...I..."

The angrier Lin Daiyu became, the more powerless she felt.

The last time she switched bodies, she tried to use her period to make him behave, but he took advantage of the situation and turned the tables on her.

Lin Daiyu devised another plan, wanting to demand Xiangling in order to ruin the playboy's reputation, but by a twist of fate, she helped him achieve his goal.

It was as if whatever she did would ultimately fulfill the playboy's good intentions, only increasing his interest.

Until this booklet, with its obscure and suggestive language, began to provoke her.

They're clearly provoking us on purpose!
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu gradually calmed down.

She realized that the more furious she became, the more amusing the playboy would be to her.

The only way to break this deadlock is to ignore him and make him feel bored.

However, being seen naked remained a thorn in Lin Daiyu's side.

She was naturally fond of cleanliness, and being an unmarried young woman, she could not easily dismiss such shameful matters.

"But after switching bodies, touching is inevitable, and besides, I've seen his body before..."

Lin Daiyu not only saw it, she even washed it.

The embarrassing incident that occurred that night when she shared a bed with Xiangling still lingered in her mind, and she couldn't forget it.

Only reading can ease her sense of shame!

When Lin Daiyu set out the three rules for him earlier, she knew perfectly well that it was somewhat self-deception.

As long as the body-changing continues, the daily bathing time in summer will be an opportunity for that纨绔 (spoiled brat) to take advantage.

Disturbed, she forced herself to stop investigating and glanced at the subsequent records.

"I traveled with Baochai twice, and Baochai was always warm and fragrant."

"You lecherous scoundrel! You really dared to flirt with Sister Bao while wearing my body! But Sister Bao, indeed..."

Her thoughts drifted to the feeling of her head resting on Xue Baochai's body, and she immediately blushed.

He spat several times, shaking his head rapidly as if trying to expel the tainted thoughts from his brain. "It must be that the words of that playboy have influenced my character. How could I become as frivolous as him!"

Gently patting her chest, Lin Daiyu calmed herself down and continued reading.

"Pinching Sister Feng's cheeks felt wonderful..."

"Even Sister Feng, you...you really have audacity beyond belief!"

Thinking of Wang Xifeng, the gossip and disputes in front of Rongqing Hall immediately came to mind.

After reflecting on those times many times, Lin Daiyu has come to understand things a little better now.

Sister Feng has always treated me well, so it's only natural that she would defend Jia Baoyu in front of everyone. However, she shouldn't always play this annoying role and make herself suffer for no reason.

With a slight sigh, Lin Daiyu truly couldn't imagine how Li Chen could have used his body to take liberties with Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was not as gentle and mild-mannered as Xue Baochai.

Putting aside the manual, Lin Daiyu lay back on the bed, her thoughts in turmoil.

As the sound of firecrackers gradually subsided and the surroundings became quiet, drowsiness began to creep into my heart.

"In the end, he's a better person than Jia Baoyu. Oh well, there's plenty of time, let's try to change him slowly..."

The next morning, early in the morning,
The beaded curtain swayed gently, and Lin Daiyu suddenly awoke with a start.

Last night she had many dreams. She even dreamt that the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled, dissolute young man) not only defiled her body but also used her skin to seduce her sisters one by one. None of them could escape his clutches, while she, being a man, was isolated from the laughter and joy. Lin Daiyu suddenly sat up, instinctively crossing her arms in front of her. Her eyes, still filled with emotion, were filled with shock. Only when she recognized the light blue bed curtains did a feeling of relief well up in her heart, as if she had regained what she had lost.

The situation turned out to be not as bad as it seemed.

Xueyan happened to pass by the bed and saw the girl "self-examining" again. She was already used to it and instead came over and solemnly imparted her hearsay "experience".

"Miss, the nannies all said that touching it yourself isn't very useful; you have to pay attention to the 'yin and yang balance'!"

After a pause, Xueyan comforted her, "But don't worry, young lady. As long as you eat well every day like you did the other day and keep your body healthy, you may be able to achieve your wish in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu's lips twitched slightly, and she looked at Xueyan in astonishment.

Seeing the strange look the young lady gave her, Xueyan realized she had misspoke. She chuckled and tried to make amends, saying, "Just pretend I didn't say anything! I'll go get you breakfast. You can continue admiring yourself; after all, your beauty is far superior to ours!"

Only after Xueyan dashed out of the room did Lin Daiyu slowly come to her senses.

Looking down at her chest, Lin Daiyu noticed the slight wrinkles in her close-fitting undergarment. Her face flushed, and she couldn't help but spit out in embarrassment and annoyance, "What has he been doing to my body all day long!"

……

The Zhenyuan Marquis's Residence

Li Chen slowly woke up on the bed, and the familiar desolation and loneliness returned.

However, it is still the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Chen didn't need to study hard; he had to go to the hall to pay his respects to his parents first.

It seems that this ten-day period will be filled with tedious social obligations of visiting relatives and friends. The New Year will not be over until after the Lantern Festival, and life will not return to normal.

By then, her teacher, Mr. Xing, should also return to Beijing from the countryside to teach her—no, to teach Lin Daiyu to read.

As for myself, I'll just catch up slowly.

Even if Lin Daiyu was exceptionally talented, it's unlikely that she could pass the imperial examinations six times in a row and clear the path to success within two years.

If that's really the case, then it's truly defying the heavens; calling it a system wouldn't be an exaggeration.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, the chill in the room making him reluctant to get up; he still wanted to stay in bed a little longer.

"Especially during the New Year holidays, the mansion is still so deserted, which is far inferior to the magnificent Rongguo Mansion."

"The most urgent task is to find a way to earn money to supplement the family income."

“Father, my elder brother’s official career and my imperial examination both require money to pave the way. It’s all about spending money and not earning any, just like the Rongguo Mansion.”

"But where will this money come from..."

With his thoughts in disarray and his mind in a state of confusion, Li Chen gradually drifted off to sleep again.

"Young master, it's time for you to get up. If you don't go to the main hall soon, Madam will be angry."

The maid's voice came from outside.

Li Chen didn't even open his eyes, and mumbled, "I know, Sister Chuntao, I'll get up now."

"Master?"

The sound didn't get any farther away; instead, it grew closer, accompanied by a series of very light footsteps.

Li Chen impatiently lifted his eyelids.

In an instant, a beautifully sculpted face came into view, with a striking rouge mark between its brows.

She was dressed in a bright red pomegranate-red long dress, the hem of which was adorned with twin lotus flowers. However, no matter how exquisite the lotus flowers were, they could not compare to the natural blush and tenderness of her cheeks.

A dimple is even more captivating.

Li Chen's breath hitched, and he subconsciously pursed his lips, his gaze rapidly scanning himself.

"Xiangling?! What's she doing in my room? Am I even dressed?"
