Chapter 182 Sister Daiyu
Chapter 182 Sister Daiyu
"This stuff can prolong life?" Lin Liuyi found it hard to believe.
But who knows? It's said that the Classic of Mountains and Seas records real creatures from the past. But why don't they have vampires here anymore?
Why have they all gone to Western countries?
Could it be that the ancients ate all the food in the east, and the rest were scared away and ran to the west?
And think about all the things vampires are afraid of—garlic! Eating meat without garlic diminishes the flavor by half!
Afraid of silverware? Did you use silver tableware before?
Afraid of the cross? They use a cross to hold the meat open when grilling? Come to think of it, Lin Liuyi recalled seeing meat grilled in the past, and it really was done with a cross – that way the meat cooks faster!
Forget it, I can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about it, Lin Liuyi will have to shed a tear for the vampire.
Vampires aren't important; what's important is when we can find Daiyu. She's terrified of Monkey King asking her questions right now.
Disappointing her idol would be even more painful for her than her idol's career collapsing!
However, what Lin Liuyi didn't know was that the book had already been delivered to Lin Daiyu without any problems.
It is said that Lin Daiyu, because of Qingwen's refusal to open the door the night before, mistakenly suspected Baoyu.
The next day, by chance, it was the time to bid farewell to the flowers. Just as I was feeling confused and had not yet vented my emotions, my sorrow for spring was stirred up again. So I buried some withered petals and couldn't help but feel sad for the flowers and myself. I cried a few times and then casually recited a few lines.
As Lin Daiyu was feeling melancholy, she suddenly noticed a book gleaming with golden light appearing before her.
She thought that she had been well-read since childhood, having grown up with her father, so she tried to hold the book in her hands and open it.
"Huh, this book is about me? But where did this monkey come from? That's interesting!"
When Daiyu read about how the monkey was actually trying to coax her with peaches, she couldn't help but laugh. She sighed, wishing there really was a monkey that could coax her like that.
Daiyu quickly finished reading the book, and her mood was no longer so sad.
Just then, Baoyu came to the garden. Daiyu didn't want to see him, so she turned away and left.
Baoyu had just overheard Daiyu's "The Burial of Flowers" and knew she was unhappy. Suddenly, he looked up and couldn't see Daiyu anymore, so he knew she had seen him and avoided him. Feeling dejected, he dusted himself off, went down the mountain to find his way back to Yihong Courtyard.
Just then, he saw Lin Daiyu walking ahead, so he quickly caught up with her, called out to her, and wanted to say something.
Lin Daiyu was in a much better mood now and no longer cared about Baoyu refusing to open the door yesterday.
After a heartfelt and painful speech, Baoyu recounted all the kindness he had shown Lin Daiyu since she came into his life, and tears even streamed down his face as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Daiyu was somewhat surprised and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you have the maid open the door when I went there yesterday?"
Baoyu asked in surprise, "Where did you get this idea? If I did that, I'd die right away!"
Lin Daiyu spat, "Getting up so early in the morning to talk about life and death, don't you care about anything? If you say it's true, then it is; if you say it's not, then it isn't. What's with all the swearing?"
Thus, Baoyu and Daiyu resolved their misunderstandings and reconciled, but Daiyu still couldn't stop thinking about the monkey described in the book.
The Imperial Concubine sent Eunuch Xia out of the Lower Xiang Palace and also gave him a Dragon Boat Festival gift.
Lin Daiyu only had two top-quality palace fans and two strings of red musk beads. "Miss, I've inquired. Master Bao and Miss Bao both received two top-quality palace fans, two strings of red musk beads, two pieces of phoenix-tail silk, and one hibiscus mat. They are the same items."
Upon hearing the maid's reply, Lin Daiyu dismissed her and left. Alone, she felt a pang of sadness. "I, a mere plant, am truly no match for Miss Bao, with all her gold and jade!"
Thinking about how she had come to the Jia family alone and how Lady Wang treated her, Daiyu understood perfectly well.
But apart from her maternal family, she had no other relatives left. Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu's eyes began to redden again.
Just as tears were about to fall, that book reappeared.
"How wonderful it would be if I had a little monkey that belonged only to me, without so many sisters and brothers!"
Seeing the word "reward" lit up on the book, Lin Daiyu casually gave the palace fan and incense beads as a reward.
Lin Liuyi finally received another reader's donation. She nervously contacted the donor, hoping it wasn't another vampire or something; she couldn't handle that.
When the video started playing and he saw the other person's pitiful appearance, Lin Liuyi thought to himself, "This is it!"
"Lin Daiyu?"
"Who are you? Are you a fairy?" Lin Daiyu didn't expect that just by giving a reward and clicking on some invitation, a person would appear in the void.
Lin Liuyi continued with the procedures, explaining everything in detail.
"Am I a character in a book? Destined to repay tears? Then what about me and Baoyu?" Lin Daiyu was extremely intelligent and instantly knew the ending for the two of them.
She was about to burst into tears again, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"What about the monkey in the book? Does such a monkey really exist?"
In Lin Liuyi's book, the Great Sage is described as being devoted to Daiyu, which inevitably makes Daiyu have a very good impression of him.
Upon seeing this, Lin Liuyi quickly told Daiyu about the Great Sage, including the fact that the other party had asked him to find someone.
"You said he specifically sent you to find me?" For some reason, Daiyu felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
Although she had Baoyu in her heart, Baoyu had so many older and younger sisters, and he would inevitably neglect her from time to time. Now, there was someone who, even when she didn't know where she was, was willing to cross countless worlds to find her. This was truly no less than Baoyu's devotion.
Lin Liuyi, knowing that Daiyu was sensitive, repeated the story again. Considering Daiyu's health, she quickly gave her one of the peaches that the Great Sage had given her.
"Is this the peach from the book?" Daiyu looked at the peach that had suddenly appeared on the table and couldn't help but feel surprised.
Lin Liuyi said that this was a reward that the Great Sage had given her before, and she was giving it to Lin Meimei again, so it could be considered a gift from the Great Sage.
Lin Daiyu didn't refuse. She knew from the book that it was good for her health, so she ate it just like in the book.
Then Lin Daiyu asked about the Great Sage's situation in detail. This shows the difference between boys and girls. The Great Sage only asked her to find someone, while Lin Daiyu wanted to know everything about the other person.
Lin Liuyi didn't try to hide it anyway. She felt sorry for Lin Meimei, whose vast fortune was swallowed up and who ended up with nothing.
They say she came to repay her debt of tears? Bah! She was born by the Spirit River, why should she bother with his sweet dew, forcing Lin Daiyu to descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulations?
They arranged such a miserable background for her, with both her parents dead and no siblings, making her enter the Jia family alone, and arranging so many beautiful women for Jia Baoyu, which ultimately caused Daiyu to vomit blood and die.
