The fluttering petals stuck to his jade-colored clothes, almost dyeing them crimson.
His figure was thin, and his face was pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. The corners of his eyes were slightly downcast, and even when he smiled, there was a hint of melancholy. This kind of romantic, melancholy, and elegant temperament seemed to not belong to the secular world.
A gust of wind blew from the peach blossom forest, causing his clothes to flutter. It was as if in the next moment, he would fly into the wind and ascend to immortality.
He was handsome and outstanding, unrivaled among the clouds.
He stared at her for a long time, pursed his lips, and gave her a faint smile.
The corners of his eyes seemed to be stained with peach blossoms, and his smile was particularly moving.
Jia Baobao touched his neck and couldn't help but smile at him.
His lips were slightly pale, and only when he pressed them tightly would there be a trace of color. When he opened his mouth, his lips were dyed with peach blossoms.
He suddenly said, "This younger brother, I seem to have seen you before."
His voice was clear and bright.
Jia Baobao was shocked, then shook his head and laughed. "That's impossible, unless …"
She stared at his eyes. "Unless you saw me in a dream."
"In a dream?" He chewed on these two words, and there was a smile in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Jia Baobao stepped forward, cupped his hands, and called out with a smile, "Baoyu greets Cousin Lin."
Lin Daiyu reached out to hold her hand, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be so formal with me."
Jia Baobao held Lin Daiyu's hand, and said enthusiastically, "Cousin Lin, this is your first time here. Let's go, I'll show you around."
Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."
Jia Baobao's smile deepened, and the peach blossoms in his eyes were brighter and more dazzling than all the peach blossoms in the back mountain.
She turned her head and waved at the stunned servant girls. "Quickly go and make Yan Zhi. If you need my help, come to my garden to find me."
"Yes, Bao Erye!" The servant girls were so excited that their cheeks were red.
After they had walked some distance, Lin Daiyu frowned and asked, "Yan Zhi?"
Jia Baobao smiled and said, "Cousin Lin, please don't be offended. I like to play with Yan Zhi cosmetic powder. Master has beaten me countless times because of this."
Lin Daiyu stared at the little dots of Yan Zhi on her eyelids. "Everyone has their own hobbies. Why would I mind?"
"Really?" Her face was filled with surprise as she looked up at him. The tiny dots on her eyelids with Yan Zhi suddenly disappeared.
Lin Daiyu's gaze slowly moved down and fell into her eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, she held his hand tightly.
Her hands were so soft.
"Cousin Lin, wait."
In his eyes, his cousin was smiling and raising his hand towards his face.
Lin Daiyu was surprised, but he didn't move.
Her index finger softly touched the corner of his eye.
He subconsciously closed his right eye and felt her fingertip carefully scratching the corner of his eye.
His expression didn't change. "What are you doing, Cousin?"
Jia Baobao tilted his head and muttered in a small voice, "So it's not a peach blossom."
"Hm?"
She revealed an embarrassed smile. "I thought there was a peach blossom at the corner of your eye and wanted to help you wipe it off. I didn't expect it to be a mole."
She was so close that her breath almost blew onto his face.
Lin Daiyu turned his face away and pressed his palm against her forehead, pushing her away.
"Sorry, I'm really not used to having someone so close to me."
"No, no, I was being presumptuous."
She pulled on his sleeve. "Gege, don't be angry."
Lin Daiyu turned around and gently pulled his sleeve out of her hand. "Un, I'm not angry."
Jia Baobao stared at his empty hands and was speechless.
Wasn't this called being angry?
Lin Daiyu turned his back and said lightly, "I do have a mole at the corner of my eye. It was born in my mother's womb. An old monk once came to my house to tell my fortune. He said that I met a fated person in my previous life and that I would return her tears in this life."
Lin Daiyu walked in front and Jia Baobao followed behind. The two of them stepped on a red carpet.
"Return her tears?"
"Un, isn't it nonsense?"
Jia Baobao said unhurriedly, "No."
She chased after him with a smile and walked backwards. Her eyes didn't blink as she looked at the melancholy and amorous mole at the corner of his eye.
"If I were that person, I wouldn't be willing to let you return her tears. What if you hurt your eyes from crying?"
Lin Daiyu was startled and suddenly stopped.
He looked at her deeply and blurted out, "You talk too much."
Hey!
Jia Baobao felt wronged.
Lin Daiyu walked past her and stopped after two or three steps.
He turned around and saw that she was still standing at the same spot with her back facing him.
Was she angry just because of this?
Brother Baobao was still young. He shouldn't be so calculative with her. After all, what she said was out of concern for him.
Lin Daiyu stared at her back and felt guilty for his words and actions.
Jia Baobao started chatting with the System.
"Hey, System, did you see it? Did you see it?"
The System said, "I'm not blind. I saw it!"
"Why … Why would his mosaic be there! How did this mosaic of Yan Zhi hit the horse? Is it because a person's body is too outstanding? "
The System said, "Don't ask me. I've never seen it before. How would I know!"
Lin Daiyu was still thinking about how to apologize when Jia Baobao slowly turned around. Then, his gaze fell between his legs. His face was full of curiosity, surprise, and admiration.
Lin Daiyu was speechless.
He turned around and left.
"Cousin Lin! Cousin Lin! "
He pursed his lips and didn't respond.
Both of them had just left the back of the mountain when they bumped into Lady Jia's maid, Yuan Yang.
Yuan Yang smiled, "Elder Ancestor asked me to look for both of you. I didn't expect to bump into both of you here."
After bowing to the two of them, she led them to the main courtyard.
Once they entered the courtyard, a few maids surrounded Jia Baobao. They opened the curtains and fanned her.
Jia Baobao was surrounded by them and walked forward. She only remembered something when she stepped over the threshold.
She immediately turned around and opened the curtains for Lin Daiyu, "Don't blame them. They're used to seeing me."
Lin Daiyu smiled and didn't answer.
The maid shouted inside, "Master Lin and Bao Erye are here."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure as red as fire walked in and grabbed Jia Baobao.
"Why did you take so long to come!" Wang Xifeng asked with a smile.
Jia Baobao laughed and said, "I saw a few maids making Yan Zhi and couldn't help but help."
Wang Xifeng's poisonous eyes looked her up and down. He said with a faint smile, "Yan Zhi … That's what you like."
He pulled her into the room and leaned forward slightly to whisper in her ear, "Sometimes I wonder if you're a girl."
His magnetic voice made her ears tingle.
Jia Baobao suddenly grabbed his Baoyu, "System! He, did he see that I'm a girl? "
The System patted its chest, "There won't be a problem with my hack. As for why … I don't understand. Could it be that he likes you too much?"
Wang Xifeng gently and warmly pulled Jia Baobao, seemingly leaving Lin Daiyu out in the cold.
Lin Daiyu didn't show a trace of displeasure. Instead, he became more careful with his words and actions.
After entering the room, he saw the Lady Jia sitting high up in the main seat. Jia Baobao immediately leaned over affectionately.
Lin Daiyu kept some distance.
The Lady Jia smiled and waved at him, "Are you Daiyu? Let me take a good look. Among these siblings, I dote on your mother the most. "
Lin Daiyu took a step forward, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Mother often talks about you."
His manner was neither intimate nor impolite.
Suddenly, he felt a burning gaze on him.
Lin Daiyu calmly glanced in the direction of the gaze.
Jia Baobao supported his cheek with one hand and stared intently between his legs.
Lin Daiyu, "…"
"Ding, congratulations to the host. You have triggered a purple mission regarding Lin Daiyu."
"Eh?" Jia Baobao finally withdrew his gaze, "But I didn't do anything."
"Hehe."
