Red Mansion: Holding Space and Marrying Like the Sea

Looking at Jia Baoyu like this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is such a man really worthy of her lifelong trust? However, who else could be more suitable besides him? Her beautiful face showed a pitiful expression, tears rolled in her eyes, as if they would roll down at any time, making people want to comfort her. She stared at Jia Baoyu and said softly: "Brother Baoyu, don't you welcome me? When we first met, you smashed this piece of jade in front of me. Don't you want me to fulfill my filial piety to my grandmother and mother? In this case, then I'll go. I will return to my hometown in Gusu and never come back." After that, she turned to Xueyan and said: "Xueyan, let's go back to Gusu."

When Jia Baoyu heard Lin Daiyu's words, he hurriedly explained, "Sister Lin, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just felt that you, a fairy, didn't have jade, but I did. I felt I was an exception." After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Lin Daiyu's expression eased a little, but she still said with some dissatisfaction, "Then Brother Baoyu, don't throw jade around casually anymore."

Lin Daiyu coughed lightly and said, "I know that Brother Baoyu didn't mean it, but this jade is a rare item. What should I do if it's broken?"

Jia Baoyu quickly responded, "Sister, you are right. From now on, I will take good care of this jade and will not break it again."

The two smiled at each other, and Jia Baoyu said softly, "Sister Lin, let me take you to see your residence!" Lin Daiyu was delighted when she heard this, but she still lowered her head shyly and nodded gently. She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Jia with expectant eyes, her eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement.

Old Lady Jia looked at Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu and smiled. She knew the deep bond between them and understood Lin Daiyu's reliance and trust in Jia Baoyu. She said gently, "Go, and take Yingge with you. This little maidservant is my second-class servant. She's meticulous and dedicated. I can rest assured knowing she's by your side."

The parrot stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your humble servant greets you, young lady." Lin Daiyu quickly helped the parrot up and said with a smile, "Since it was given to me by my grandmother, I will change your name! From now on, you will be called Zijuan!" The parrot smiled with surprise and gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much for the name, young lady."

Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu walked hand in hand into the green gauze kitchen of Madam Jia's bedroom, their faces beaming with happiness. As they entered the room together, Jia Baoyu enthusiastically explained every detail to Lin Daiyu. Pointing to the exquisite bed, he said, "This is your bed. I remember there are some rolls of moonlight gauze in the storeroom that would be perfect for a curtain. They're a very soft color and completely opaque. Zijuan, will you remember to go to the storeroom and get them later?" Jia Baoyu asked gently.

Lin Daiyu's eyes sparkled with delight, and she nodded gently in agreement. Then, Jia Baoyu pointed to the dressing table by the window and said proudly, "And this one too! I had someone search the storeroom for a long time before finding it. It really suits my sister."

Lin Daiyu walked to the dressing table and carefully touched the exquisite carvings on it, as if she were touching a precious gift. She was immersed in this beauty and felt Jia Baoyu's care and concern for her.

Then, Jia Baoyu took out a bronze mirror, placed it in front of Lin Daiyu, and whispered, "There is another mirror here. You can use it to dress up." Lin Daiyu stared at herself in the mirror, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Finally, Lin Daiyu turned around and hugged Jia Baoyu tightly, her eyes filled with endless gratitude and affection. She whispered softly, "Thank you, brother Baoyu, thank you for everything you have done for me." Jia Baoyu gently patted Lin Daiyu on the back and responded tenderly, "As long as my sister likes it, this is what I should do."

At this moment, Daiyu seemed to have lost all her reserve and leaned slightly towards Jia Baoyu. Her delicate body was like a blooming flower, emitting a charming fragrance.

However, just as the two were immersed in this wonderful moment, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, like an alarm bell, suddenly waking Daiyu up. She stood up straight as if she had just woken from a dream, with a blush and shyness still lingering on her face.

Then, Mrs. Wang slowly walked into the room. Her eyes fell on Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, a stiff smile playing on her lips. Her voice was cold and stern: "I saw the little maid go to the storeroom to get moonlight yarn for the bed curtains, so I came to see what was going on. After all, this moonlight yarn is so precious, not everyone can match it!"

Mrs. Wang's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, making them wake up instantly.

Lin Daiyu's face turned pale, and she lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes. Jia Baoyu clenched his fists. He wanted to say something in Lin Daiyu's defense, but when he saw Mrs. Wang's stern look, he swallowed it back.

Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Daiyu, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes. She turned to Jia Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, you should also know the preciousness of this moonlight gauze. Don't give it to the unsuitable person casually." After saying this, she glanced at Lin Daiyu and left the room with her maid.

The moment the door closed, Lin Daiyu's tears could no longer be controlled and rolled down. Jia Baoyu looked at her distressedly, but didn't know how to comfort her.
