Back at Hogwarts, the two went to the school infirmary, but Dr. Cullen, the director of the school infirmary, was not there. Daiyu recalled that Alice said that she would have fun during the Christmas holidays, and guessed that the family should travel abroad together.

However, there are still doctors on duty in the school infirmary.The young brown-haired doctor checked Daiyu, prescribed some magic potions for her, and told her that it was not serious, so don't worry too much.Daiyu obediently took the medicine according to the doctor's advice, but her cough didn't get any better.

"It's been a long time since I thought about it." Daiyu smiled, "But it happened often when I was young, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Maybe the doctors in the school infirmary are not qualified enough, why don't we go to the Muggle doctors? They are very good at treating common minor illnesses." Riddle thought.

"Where is the need for such trouble?" Daiyu said, "I still need to prepare a bunch of certificates and the like, and I don't have as many certificates as you."

"So why don't you go back to your side and let the doctor there treat you?"

"It's doable." Daiyu said, "Jia's family hired imperial physicians with superb medical skills. Besides, they are familiar with my illness, and it's not a serious problem. It's just that you need to take care of it carefully and pay attention to it. .Maybe if I go back, I'll be fine with a few doses of medicine."

"You were fine the day you went to Little Hangleton, but it was too cold that day." There was some guilt and regret in Riddle's voice, "I shouldn't have taken you there, anyway, there's nothing to go there."

"What are you talking about?" Daiyu said, "I certainly want to undertake such an important matter with you. It can be regarded as a wish fulfilled."

"No matter how the doctor over there is," Riddle said, "you have to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor here first, and the condition cannot get worse."

Riddle brought a bowl of potion for Daiyu, and took care of her to drink it: "It's just a holiday, so you can go back to Jia's mansion to have a look. I'll go with you when the time comes, so it's convenient for me to take care of you."

Daiyu drank the strange-tasting potion without changing her face, without leaving a drop of soup, and then drank a glass of water to wash away the smell of the potion in her mouth.

"So not afraid of hardship?"

"If I'm still afraid of hardship after drinking it since I was a child, then I'm too useless."

"Then, if that's the case," Riddle took out a delicate small plate from behind, "it seems that the sour plums I specially prepared may not be useful."

"Sour plum?" Daiyu was pleasantly surprised, her eyes brightened, "I didn't know you still had this kind of thing here. Why are you so bad, you didn't take it out before, just watched me suffer for so long "As she spoke, Daiyu frowned, "Usually in the Grand View Garden, after taking the medicine, I would often eat a piece of candied fruit to relieve the bitterness, but I didn't expect it to be here, so I didn't say it. But I didn't expect you to be with Zicuckoo With the same care, I can even think of this."

"I also had the mentality of trying, and went to the kitchen to ask if the house elves would make it, but I didn't expect them to actually do it." Riddle explained.

"Open your mouth." Riddle picked up a plum sprinkled with icing sugar.

Daiyu obediently bit it down, put it in her mouth, and smiled at Riddle, her eyes were curved, clear and bright.

"Sweet?"

"Ah."

"It's so delicious...can I have a taste?" Following Riddle's words, Daiyu opened her eyes wide and looked at an enlarged face that was slowly approaching, and couldn't help but step back a little.

However, the soft and warm touch only lightly fell on the cheeks.

Daiyu blinked blankly.

"I'm lying to you," Riddle laughed sullenly when he saw this, and touched Daiyu's delicate skin, "You are too young, too far away from adulthood, I will wait for you to grow up."

"Obviously you are still far from becoming an adult," Daiyu was shy at first, but she was a little unconvinced when she heard the words. "According to your calculation, you need at least one more year to become an adult. According to our calculation, the male second If you add ten crowns, you will be farther away. I am different, our girls are fifteen and ji, but I am already an adult, and the daughter's family has already started talking about marriage earlier."

"No, you will be a person here in this world, don't fool me with your adult algorithm."

Daiyu felt that she was reasonable, she turned a deaf ear to it, and said leisurely, "Take another one."

"If you eat too much, be careful that your teeth will become sore." Riddle fed another sour plum into her mouth, and said with a smile, "You are still young, talking about marriage and marriage..."

Daiyu got up suddenly.

Riddle's next words were sealed by a pair of soft lips, and his hands wrapped around his neck.The girl in front of her closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling heartbreakingly.

This is a momentary willfulness under impulsive refusal to admit defeat, and it is also true, belonging to the delicate and naive nature of a girl.

Feeling his lips being touched and rubbed lightly, and smelling a faint girlish fragrance from the tip of his nose, Riddle's heart was beating hotly, a rush of hot blood rushed to his mind, and he wrapped his arms around Daiyu's soft and slender waist.

Very thirsty... Dai can easily break his self-control... Riddle couldn't help but licked the lips of the person in front of him, tempting her to open her teeth.

Under persistent probing, the girl's lips were slightly parted, and she exhaled a somewhat unstable moist breath in the cold air.On the tip of Riddle's tongue, he tasted a mixture of the sweetness of sour plum and the bitterness of a little herbal medicine. It was a bit strange, but it made him intoxicated.

This is a kiss as gentle as water, light but affectionate.

When the two parted, Daiyu's face was blushing, and she held her face in both hands, as if she wanted to cool herself down.

"Dai, I ate your plums, and I apologize to you." Riddle laughed.

"...Eat it as you like, don't tell me." Daiyu said in a very low voice, staring at Baixue by the window, but not at Riddle.

The sound of flapping wings came, interrupting the conversation between the two. An owl with colorful feathers landed on the window sill, holding a package on its feet.

"Whose is it?" Daiyu asked curiously, "Who is delivering the package at this time?"

Riddle took off the package, and the message on it read himself.Frowning, he didn't think anyone would deliver a package to him.

"Take it apart and have a look." Daiyu said.

Open the package, inside is a delicate little box, black velvet cloth lined with a shiny sapphire, the price is extraordinary at first glance.

Riddle had already guessed who it would be, picked up the attached letter and read it.

"It's old Tom." Riddle said, handing the letter to Daiyu, "he still doesn't give up."

Daiyu picked up the letter and read it carefully, it was written in beautiful but exaggerated cursive script, this sapphire was a Christmas gift from him to his son, to make up for the guilt he felt for not raising him for so many years.I hope Riddle can come back to live with him, his wife Rosa has already agreed.Another very important point is that he learned about the orphanage where Riddle grew up through the last conversation, and he has already left for London to negotiate with the head of the orphanage there, hoping to transfer Riddle's household registration to Under the name of the Riddle family.

"How could he make a decision without authorization?" Daiyu asked angrily.

"Perhaps he is a person who is never used to considering other people's ideas." Riddle said, "It's just that he is very good at making his own decisions."

"But what will he do without you here?"

"It stands to reason that such an important decision needs to be present in person. But Dai, you also know that some people have great power, not to mention the power of money. What's more, the situation in the Muggle world is not very good. The law simply isn't as effective as it usually is."

"Riddle, you must stop him and not allow him to succeed." Daiyu said, "He hates magic and doesn't want you to be a wizard at all."

"It seems that I need to go to London." Riddle nodded and said, "But if that's the case, I won't be able to accompany you back to the Jia residence."

"What's the matter?" Daiyu smiled, "Don't worry about me, just go about your business. I'm more familiar with that place than you. Count the days, it's snowing over there. The plum should be in bloom too."

"White snow and red plums are indeed a beauty that Hogwarts cannot see."

Daiyu's thoughts drifted to the far east, and she said: "I miss what you said, and then I will try to get a branch from Miaoyu. However, if I think about it, she will only give it to Baoyu."

"Baoyu's face is really great." Riddle pointed out.

"It's not as old as you." Daiyu smiled and teased leisurely, "I only want to ask for someone to see the most beautiful red plums."

"Then I have to thank you very much." Riddle sat down beside Daiyu.

"Oh? How can I thank you?"

"I wanted to give it to you for Christmas," Riddle said, bringing out a rectangular wooden carved box tied with a ribbon. "But I was thinking about Little Hangleton. I forgot for a while."

Daiyu just tied up her hair loosely today, very casually.Riddle stretched out his hand and pulled out the hosta in his hair. His long black hair flowed down like running water, covering most of his body.

Open the box, inside is an exquisite green sandalwood comb, polished round and smooth, carved with exquisite phoenix dancing nine heaven patterns, exuding a faint green sandalwood aroma.

"You shouldn't be used to European combs." Riddle said, he turned Daiyu to face him, and combed her long and silky black hair.

"Did you do this yourself?" Daiyu asked.

"Well. It's not difficult to carve, but good green sandalwood is hard to find."

"When did you do it?" Daiyu smiled, "Isn't it when your roommates are asleep?"

"Otherwise, there is no other time." Riddle shrugged.

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I'll accept it, and," Daiyu folded her hands, holding the things in her palms to the top of her head for Riddle to see, "with a Christmas gift in return. "

Riddle took it, "Purse?"

This is a palm-sized pouch with a dark green base, and the Slytherin emblem is embroidered with silk threads of various colors on it. This is a bright pattern, while the dark pattern is a dark silver twig lotus pattern.The combination of Chinese and Western patterns is very ingenious and looks very delicate.

"Dai, how long have you been embroidering so many patterns?"

"Not long, I guess it's been about as long as you have been making combs." Daiyu smiled softly.

Riddle knew very well that his comb had been done for a month, so he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"The daishi and the handkerchief you gave me now have a special place to store them." Riddle said, "However, that "Romance of the West Chamber" is still too big and needs to be stored separately."

"You keep those?" Daiyu asked in surprise.

"What do you say?"

"How do I know you?" Daiyu said stiffly.

"But why do I feel that you know about me? Huh? Dai..."

"……illusion."

……

In the afternoon, Riddle left for London, and Daiyu packed her things and returned to the Grand View Garden.

It was night again, Daiyu was still planning to rest on her bed for a night, but who would have thought that today she would dream continuously, intermittently and non-stop, disturbing people's peace.

In the morning of the second day, Daiyu woke up exhausted. She only felt that her brain was throbbing and her body was not very comfortable. It seemed that her condition had worsened.

What's wrong with me?Daiyu thought, rubbing the center of her brows.

"Zicuckoo, Zicuckoo." Daiyu called out, her voice escaped, and she realized how hoarse it was, "Give me a cup of tea."

As soon as it opened, Zijuan came in, holding a cup of hot tea, and waiting for Daiyu to drink it.

"The girl is back, is it okay to go back?" Zijuan saw the box in the corner.

Only now did she feel that the temperature on Daiyu's body was frighteningly high, and she was still dripping with cold sweat. She couldn't help but wondered, "What's going on here? Why are you sick?"

"I've got a cold." Daiyu replied weakly, "Give me that ginseng Yangrong pill first."

"Okay." Zijuan hurriedly took the ginseng Yangrong pills, and then hurried out, "I'll go and ask Imperial Physician Wang to come over."

Zijuan left, and Daiyu sat on the bed alone, hugging her knees, thinking of some fragments of her dream.

Fog, exotic flowers and rocks, extraordinary furnishings, and exquisite pavilions are all painted buildings that live in the clouds, and carved beams towering.There are also women who look as graceful as fairy concubines...

Where is it?Who are those people?Why do I keep dreaming about it?Daiyu really doesn't remember that she has ever been to such a place.

"You forgot what you were supposed to do." The cold woman's voice sounded in her mind, Daiyu covered her aching head, and it was better not to think about it.

The imperial physician was dragged awake from his sleep, and soon came with a medicine box.

Through the bed curtain, Daiyu stretched out a hand.The imperial physician put a handkerchief on it and began to check the pulse.

"How is it?" Zicuckoo asked with concern.

"Although the typhoid fever is a bit severe, it's not a big deal." The imperial physician pondered: "After the old man prescribes a prescription, take it for more than ten days in a row, and take another month of treatment, it should be almost healed."

"That's good." Zicuckoo exhaled.

"Just be careful not to catch cold in the future. Miss's body is already very cold. You should pay attention to keeping warm. You can't stand the cold."

Daiyu nodded in response.

He gave the imperial physician a reward and sent the imperial physician away.Zicuckoo brought the boiled medicine and a candied fruit.

Daiyu couldn't help smiling when she saw the candied fruit.

"Girl, you're still laughing." Zijuan said, "You didn't know how to play over there, but you got sick. You really can't take good care of yourself without me by your side."

"This was completely an accident," Daiyu surrendered to Zijuan's thoughts, "But Zijuan, don't keep thinking about serving me, you should think about your own future, we can't always be master and servant. "

"But we are masters and servants," Zijuan said with a smile, "it's a day to take care of the girl, let's talk about the future."

"Okay, it's up to you." Daiyu said helplessly, "I'm going to take a school homework test, how are you doing with the words I asked you to memorize earlier?"

"It's hard for me." When it comes to memorizing vocabulary, Zijuan suddenly looks bitter, "The writing of foreigners is too difficult, every letter is like a ghostly talisman, it's just a little tadpole, and there It’s so awkward, I can’t remember it.”

"You're being lazy again, are you trying to deceive me?" Daiyu said, "I don't know who memorized the names and recipes of the dishes before, but it's almost here."

"That's not the same at all. Well, well, I'll recite it, girl."

"Zijuan, that's also for you to have more choice in the future. If you leave with me in the future, it will be difficult to live there without speaking the language." Daiyu followed the temptation.

"Zicuckoo understands the painstaking efforts of the girl."

Knowing that Daiyu was ill again, people from the Grand View Garden came to visit her one after another.Daiyu received them politely, but when Baoyu came, Daiyu made a request.

"If you really miss me, why don't you bring me a red plum next time you come, maybe it will be all right." Daiyu said.

"That's not easy." Baoyu laughed.

"It must be the most beautiful one from Miaoyu Temple. Asking for a red plum should not be a problem for you."

"With Miaoyu's lofty personality, although it's a little difficult to say, she must still sell me some thin noodles." Baoyu said, "As long as sister Lin wants it, I will bring it to you even if I die."

Looking at Baoyu's smiling face, Daiyu suddenly sighed: "Baoyu, are you always so nice to all women?"

"Women are extremely pure and beautiful in the world, but they are often misled by dirty men. Although I am also a fool, I also want to treat them well."

"So, do you need to be rewarded for your kindness? All the tears of women in the world should be shed for you, right?"

"Hey," Baoyu patted his head, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's Sister Lin who understands me best."

"You just treat them well in your own way." Daiyu felt that she was not calm: "Have you considered their feelings? Do you know what they need?"

Daiyu wanted to ask him about Jin Chuan'er, which she had heard recently, and about Yu Chuan'er, Baoyu tried her best to coax her to drink the soup. Although she avoided the eyes and ears, it spread throughout the house.Everyone praises Baoyu for being generous and kind to Yu Chuan'er, but who knows what's going on in Yu Chuan'er's heart after her sister died?

Baoyu's kindness to women is often reflected verbally.Occasionally behavior helps, but most of the time it's just wishful thinking on his part.He thought that he was very kind to his daughter's family, but he had to admit that his behavior sometimes caused great trouble to others.

"Sister Lin, what are you talking about?" Baoyu wondered, "Why don't you need it anymore? Didn't you ask me for Hongmei? Why don't I consider their feelings?"

Daiyu couldn't explain this feeling clearly. Baoyu made her feel some special and indescribable feelings, which were very complicated.Although in memory, apart from always running to her and bringing some gossip to her, Baoyu didn't do anything else to help her.But Daiyu just felt uncomfortable, and always felt that there was one more thing, a very important thing that had a great impact on her, and he did it.

But what it was, I don't remember.

It just seems that there is a big river coming from the horizon...

"Sister Lin?"

"It's nothing, maybe I'm sick and confused, and said some nonsense." Daiyu smiled, "Thank you for helping to get the red plum."

"Then I wish my sister a speedy recovery." Baoyu said as she got up and was about to leave, but she couldn't slap her hands, and the relationship between the two became much colder after all.

Twilight is gradually approaching, and there should be no more visitors.Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to take a good rest.

He still fell asleep thinking of Riddle, but this night, he was destined to be troubled by endless dreams.
