Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

"Brother Xue?" Seeing him staring blankly for a while without saying a word, Bo Yang couldn't bear it.However, he knew very well that Xue Pan actually didn't have any other thoughts at the moment, and that being the case, he couldn't let him think too much.So there is no negotiating on this matter.

Xue Pan came back to his senses, looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Although I haven't known Brother Bai for a long time, I regard Brother Bai as a real brother in my heart. I don't know if Brother Bai also sees him in the same way. I?"

To tell the truth, Bo Yang is not used to the ancient people casually getting along with strangers for a period of time, and they can be as close as brothers and sisters.

For Bo Yang, an "indifferent modern man", the relationship between people is best not to be far or close, and to maintain a position that makes each other comfortable.

Confucius said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will complain.However, in this world, after all, there are not so many gentlemen, and there are many villains.So it is not appropriate to be too close or too distant, it is best to keep a distance.If you are comfortable with yourself, others are also comfortable.

However, Xue Pan obviously couldn't understand Bo Yang's theory.Seeing that Bo Yang didn't answer for a long time, he immediately showed a sad expression, and forced a smile, "Actually, I also know in my heart that it is a blessing that a person like Brother Bo is favored by chance, and it should not be extravagant..."

"Stop talking like that." Bo Yang had no choice but to say, "I don't have a real brother, and I don't know what a real brother is like. I treat Brother Xue as a friend, and I'm afraid I won't be able to climb high."

Hearing this, Xue Pan stared at Bo Yang with some gaffes, and said, "Brother Bai should be punished for what he said. It's because I can't climb up to Brother Bai."

Although he still didn't agree to his words, Xue Pan was still happy that Bo Yang could admit that he was a friend.He thought for a while and then said, "We have known each other for a long time, and the current address is really unfamiliar. Since Brother Bai regards me as a bosom friend, we might as well celebrate the age sequence and be like brothers."

Bo Yang thought for a while and nodded in agreement.At this time, people called each other brother when they met, which was a respectful title and had nothing to do with age.People who are closer to each other call each other by their first names or by their first names.In the world of Red Mansions, these two situations are common, but the situation of calling names is more common.

It doesn't matter if Xue Pan's name Wenlong is not mentioned, but Bo Yang himself has no words, so he can only call him by name.

The two passed their ages sequentially, Bo Yang was fifteen this year, Xue Pan was thirteen.Xue Pan didn't argue, and immediately got up and bowed to Bo Yang, and said with a smile, "Brother Yang."

Bo Yang hesitated for a moment, being called out like this, he always felt in a trance as if he had returned to modern times.With this in mind, even if the title seemed a bit nasty, he endured it.However, he always felt very ashamed to call Xue Pan "Pan'er". After a while, he reluctantly said, "Brother Pan."

Xue Pan seemed very happy, "Since we have changed our address, we will be our own family from now on. Brother Yang can no longer be related to me like this. My mother and younger sister are in Beijing, and there are relatives and old friends to take care of them, but Brother Yang is here. Being alone makes me feel uneasy. Brother Yang's words just now are really too hurtful."

"It's my fault." Bo Yang readily admitted.

Only then was Xue Pan satisfied, "So, I went to Beijing, and I will definitely come back in February and March." When he said this, he just looked at Bo Yang fixedly, with an expectant look on his face.

At this moment, there was a little obsession in his eyes, although it passed away in a flash, it still shocked Bo Yang.

He decided not to entangle with Xue Pan any longer, stood up and said, "You just know what to do. It's a long way, and you haven't used Chaoshi yet, right? The wind and cold on the way, I'll go outside and order some porridge, it's hot After eating, you should also go to rest.—Do you want to stay here for a day, or leave immediately?"

"Brother Yang, stop." Xue Pan stretched out his hand to hold Bo Yang in a hurry, "The boat is still parked at the pier, and it is time to leave, Brother Yang, don't be in a hurry. I...I have something to say to Brother Yang .”

"Tell me." Bo Yang turned around and looked at him.

But seeing him like this, Xue Pan felt clumsy and tongue-tied again, in a trance, he even forgot what he wanted to say, and he just blushed for a while, and didn't speak.

It wasn't until Bo Yang's eyes showed a little doubt that Xue Pan opened his mouth a little excitedly, "I... well, I clearly want to understand it in my heart, but when I want to say it, I can't find those words. Yang Brother, I don't know what to say in my heart... but Brother Yang should know."

"I know." Bo Yang lowered his eyes, responded softly, and said again, "Brother Pan is probably tired, we still have to meet in the future, why do you have to rush to say something right now?"

After speaking, he broke free from Xue Pan's hand and went outside.

After being blown by the cool wind outside, Bo Yang's mind was cleared, and he secretly regretted that he shouldn't have softened towards Xue Pan just because he wanted to leave.Fortunately, Xue Pan is still young and doesn't know what's going on, otherwise, if he really made him say something just now, how would it end?

However, Bo Yang couldn't help but think of his appearance just now.Excited, cramped, clumsy, flustered.

Loving someone is nothing more than that.

If a few months ago, Bo Yang could feel alienated because of Xue Pan's fancy to his appearance, and walked without sloppiness, but now, facing Xue Pan's sincere heart, he actually doesn't know how to deal with it. .

Xue Pan is such a person, he may not have too many advantages, and he does not meet the expectations of most people in this era, but Bo Yang has been in contact with him, and he knows that it is only because no one taught him.Even so, he has grown into the optimistic, positive and loyal look he is today.As long as you polish it a little, you can become a career.

And he is very sincere to himself, from the time the two met until now, he didn't act abruptly, instead he thought about Bo Yang everywhere and extended a helping hand several times.

Such a person, Bo Yang didn't want to watch him turn into Xue Pan in the red building, but Bo Yang wasn't ready to include himself in it either.Thinking of this, Bo Yang sighed softly.Fortunately, Xue Pan still doesn't understand what is going on with such thoughts, and fortunately, he is leaving soon.Maybe after a long time of separation, he naturally faded away.

But thinking of this, Bo Yang became worried again.

When Xue Pan went to the capital from Jinling, he was only a little arrogant and arrogant. After going to Jia's house, he was seduced by that group of children, and learned those messy things. addicted to it.

Even this Longyang Xing, he only learned it slowly after he arrived at Jia's house.

Now if he goes to the capital again, what if he goes on the old road again?

Although I heard from Xue Pan that they don't live in Jia's house now, but have cleaned up their own yard to live in, but relatives are very close, even if they don't live together, they may be affected.

He had to think of a way to make him calm down, Bo Yang thought about it, and went to wake Xuan'er up.At this time, it is not good for the two of them to stay together alone, it is better to have someone by the side.

When he reached the door, Bo Yang came back to his senses and realized that he was subconsciously worried about Xue Pan again.

He couldn't help but smile wryly, could it be that things like taking care of people are also addictive?

When Bo Yang went back with Xuan'er, Xue Panzheng sat on the seat in a daze, seeing him enter the door, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked over with burning eyes.But in an instant, it turned into disappointment and reluctance.He stood up and said, "Brother Yang, I'm leaving now."

Although he was still a little apprehensive to get along with Xue Pan, but when he heard that he was leaving, Bo Yang felt strangely reluctant to part with him.

After all, it is not so easy to travel from south to north at this time, so the parting is more solemn and sad.But as soon as this emotion appeared, it was immediately suppressed by Bo Yang.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll see you off."

He was still thinking about how to tell Xue Pan about the Jia family.

There is no time to be subtle or euphemistic now, so I can only speak directly.But after all, they are the in-laws. Although Xue Pan believes in himself, it is not appropriate to say that others are not good.

Bo Yang hesitated for a while, then said, "The shops on the Jinling side have been rectified, and the shops on the other side of the capital, you should also provide more snacks. Taking advantage of the fact that the business roads are blocked during the festival, the news must have not yet spread. They You have no defenses, you have to restrain them with the power of thunder, so as not to cause trouble."

If you can't stop him from going out to play, then find him something to do and keep him busy.

"I can save it." Xue Pan agreed with a silly smile.

Bo Yang looked more and more worried, "Butler Zhou won't go with you?"

"He's getting old, so running back and forth like this may be unbearable, besides, the business here, the family's house, Zhuangzi, also needs someone to take care of it." Xue Pan said.

In two sentences, they had already reached the gate of the courtyard, where Xue Pan's carriage was parked.

Bo Yang stopped in his tracks, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't mention the Jia family's affairs, but said, "When you go, take care of yourself, and don't slack off on business matters. Let's...see you tomorrow."

Xue Pan agreed, walked a few steps forward, and turned back to look at him.Bo Yang thought he had something to say, but he didn't. After watching for a while, he turned around and boarded the car.

"Did Master Xue come here in such a hurry to have a few words with him?" Xuan'er was still a little confused, standing beside Bo Yang, rubbing his eyes and asking.

Bo Yang couldn't help but glared at him, which made Xuan'er feel a little confused.
