【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Baoyu came back drunk from outside and didn't want to go to his grandmother's room. He just asked Xiren to tell his grandmother that he was back. Then he sat on the sofa blankly.

I just came back from a lively party, but why do I feel so lonely when I step into the house? I have so many people around me, but why am I not happy?

I got up and prepared to go to Lin Daiyu's room to see if she had come back. As soon as I entered the room, I saw the painting on the wall. I slowly approached the painting and squinted my eyes to take a closer look. The painting was very lifelike. She had cold eyes and eyebrows, as if she was looking at me through the painting and asking:

"Baoyu, why are you sick?"

Baoyu answered in a daze while looking at the painting:

"I'm sick for Miss Lin."

After waiting for a long time, I realized that it was my imagination. Then I quietly closed the door and walked back to my room. As soon as I stepped into the door, my body fell forward, and with a wow, I vomited a mouthful of blood and almost fainted.

Xiren heard the noise and came to check. Baoyu told her not to make a sound, and she just staggered to the sofa under the window and lay down.

"Second Master, let's go to the hospital. I think it might be gastric bleeding?"

"No, pour me a glass of water." Baoyu fell asleep again in a daze. He waited for Xiren to bring warm water and wake him up before he drank a few sips.

Suddenly he sat up straight and held onto Xiren's hand again:

"Sister, do you know? Believe me, you are very, very important to me. You are like the flower on the cliff, which I look at every day but dare not approach. When the little match girl has only one match left, I can't strike the match as usual, because after burning, I will die in the cold. I can't wake you up now and let you listen to my confession in your tiredness. I can't wait for you to hurry and pull you, begging you to stop your hurried steps. I want to use this match well." When he said this, he kept staring blankly in front of him, as if there was really someone he wanted to talk to opposite him.

Xiren was startled and didn't quite understand what he meant. She blushed again. Baoyu hugged her tightly and she pushed him away anxiously:

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, the more she pushed, the tighter Baoyu held her, and in panic they both fell into the sofa.

Shui Rong took Pin'er to a famous French restaurant in Beijing. The entire restaurant was decorated in pure white. With huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the restaurant looked spacious and bright.

Shui Rong booked a seat near the window. When he walked in, he saw an exquisite guzheng standing in the hall. Pin'er couldn't help but admire it carefully for a long time.

After sitting down by the window, the artificial landscape outside the window was like a fairyland, with graceful swans lazily floating on the lake. For a moment, Pin'er thought of the fantasy world of Taixu and Lihentian. She reached out and gently stroked the glass window, feeling that the scene in front of her was not so real, and her eyes gradually became deeper.

Before the dishes were served, the cake that Li Shuirong ordered arrived first. It was a crystal cake made of wine-red sugar with two transparent swans standing on it.

"This is so beautiful." Pin'er said as she took out her cell phone to take a photo.

"I asked Shifan to pick us up. I want to have a drink with you later, and I asked him to bring a camera."

"I can't drink much." Pin'er said softly.

"I won't let you drink too much. After all, you have just become an adult." Li Shuirong said with a smile.

As he was talking, Shi Fan arrived, carrying a beautiful bag containing a bottle of white wine and a newly bought Polaroid camera.

Shui Rong carefully adjusted the pink Hello Kitty camera and loaded the film. Then he walked to Pin'er and sat down. He pressed the shutter button after putting his face close to her. The photo slowly rolled out. Shui Rong took it down, fanned it gently, and handed it to Pin'er.

"Wow, how amazing! Is this the photo?" Pin'er exclaimed as she looked at the close-up photo of the two of them.

"Keep your voice down~wow, otherwise people will think you are from outer space." Shui Rong lowered his voice to tease her.

"I haven't seen it before." Pin'er said coquettishly.

"Try it, press here." Shui Rong taught her how to take a photo.

Pin'er immediately started patting all kinds of things, patting the swan, the cake, and the two people who were making faces.

After that, Pin'er would take a photo of every dish that was served.

"How does it taste?" Shui Rong asked her.

"Very good, of course what you ordered are the best." Pin'er praised him.

"It's good that you like it. We can't come here every day. Let's come again on the Chinese Valentine's Day next year. This will be where we celebrate our anniversaries from now on."

"Next year? Will you still like me next year?" Pin'er admitted that she was moved and a little greedy.

"How can you talk like that? You should ask me if you can make me a permanent employee next year?"

"Happy Chinese Valentine's Day! If I forget to say it later: I am very happy today!" Pin'er picked up the wine glass and said seriously.

It was already past nine o'clock when they returned to the Jia family. Shui Rong helped her carry the bags into the yard. Fortunately, Zijuan came out to greet her and took the things in her hands. Only then was Shui Rong ready to go back.

"I'll call you when I get home." Shui Rong held her hand reluctantly.

"I'll call you after I take a shower." Pin'er thought about the time and thought she would have to chat with her grandmother for a while.

"Okay." Shui Rong turned around and said goodbye.

"Grandma, haven't you rested yet?" Pin'er asked Zijuan as they walked.

"I'm waiting for you. I said I left something good for you." Zijuan said softly.

Pin'er quickly walked to the tea room.

"Grandma, I miss you so much." As soon as Pin'er came in, she threw herself into Grandmother Jia's arms and acted coquettishly.

"My dear, I missed you so much after not seeing you for a day." said Lady Jia, stroking her back.

"I brought you a lot of delicious food." Pin'er immediately took a few bags from Zijuan.

"Here are the snacks. I picked out some snacks that you like. And this cake. Shui Rong and I only cut a small piece and left most of it untouched. It's delicious. Try it."

"Oh, we two, the grandparents and grandchildren, are thinking alike. Today is Qiaojie's birthday, and your second sister-in-law brought me a large piece of ice cream cake. I asked her to freeze it in the refrigerator. You have eaten it, so save it for tomorrow's afternoon tea!"

"Qiao Yatou's birthday? I actually forgot about it. I'll give her a gift tomorrow." Pin'er said in annoyance. She still liked Qiao Yatou quite a bit.

"No, they haven't grown up yet. I didn't mean to alarm you. Tell me where did you go today?"

"Today we went to the zoo and the oceanarium, had hotpot, visited painting exhibitions, art exhibitions, and anime exhibitions, had French food, and watched the movie Finding Nemo." Pin'er counted the things on her fingers and told her grandmother one by one. Suddenly she thought of Xiangyun.

"By the way, I met Yun'er while eating hotpot at noon. I was with Yun'er the whole afternoon." Then he asked Zijuan:

"Is Yun'er back?"

"Miss Shi hasn't come back yet." Zijuan replied.
