Dream of the Red Chamber, Volumes 1-18

A Dream of Red Mansions (Part 1)

**********

... ********** ... Baoyu, seeing that it was a fairy maiden, was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed, asking, "Fairy sister, where did you come from, and where are you going? I also don't know where this place is. Please take me with you." The fairy maiden smiled and said, "I dwell above the Heaven of Separation from Sorrow, in the Sea of Sorrow. I am the Fairy Disenchantment of the Land of Illusion in the Fragrant Cave of the Spring-Releasing Mountain. I oversee the romantic entanglements of the mortal world, and manage the grudges of women and the infatuations of men. Recently, many romantic entanglements have lingered here, so I came here to investigate and spread my longing. It is no coincidence that we have met. This place is not far from my realm. Would you like to come with me for a visit?" Upon hearing this, Baoyu forgot where Qin Shi was and followed the fairy maiden. They arrived at a place where a stone tablet stood horizontally, inscribed with the four large characters "Land of Illusion." On either side was a couplet: "When falsehood is taken for truth, truth becomes falsehood; when nothingness is taken for existence, existence becomes nothingness." Turning past the archway, one comes to a palace gate with four large characters inscribed above: "A Sea of Sin and a Sky of Love." There is also a couplet, boldly proclaiming: " Thick earth and high heaven, how lamentable that love has been endless throughout history; [The following is a separate section:] Baoyu, upon reading this, thought to himself, 'So that's how it is. But I don't know what "love throughout history" means, or what "debts of love" mean. From now on, I must understand.' He then followed the Fairy Disenchantment to the back. There he saw beaded curtains and embroidered screens, painted beams and carved eaves; the light shimmered on the vermilion doors and golden floors, the snow shone on the jade windows and the palace was made of jade. He also saw fragrant celestial flowers and exotic herbs; it was truly a beautiful place, yet somehow it felt somewhat familiar, and he couldn't help but feel surprised. Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Fairy Disenchantment smiled and said, "Baoyu, do you feel like you've been here before?" Baoyu was startled and said, "That's right, it was when I saw Lin Daiyu... Ah, how did you know my name, Fairy Disenchantment?" Fairy Disenchantment smiled and said, "I'll tell you slowly after we go inside." With that, she led Baoyu into the room. A faint fragrance wafted through the air, but they couldn't discern what it was burning. After they were seated, a maidservant brought them tea. Baoyu found the fragrance and aroma exquisite and pure, but with doubts lingering in his mind, he hurriedly asked, "Please tell me the details of what happened earlier, Fairy. What does all this have to do with Lin Daiyu?" Fairy Disenchantment nodded and said, "You neither inquired about the incense nor the tea, yet you still think of my sister. You truly are one of us. Alright, I'll tell you the truth. You were originally an extra piece of stone that Nuwa used to mend the sky. Later, you were transformed into human form and given the name Shenying Attendant. In this Land of Illusion, you are the only one..." Before she could finish, she chuckled softly. Baoyu understood her meaning, and his face flushed slightly, but he still pressed on, "And what about Lin Daiyu?" The Fairy Disenchantment said, "On the banks of the Western Spirit River, beside the Three-Life Stone, there grows a Crimson Pearl Flower. You watered it daily with sweet dew, which allowed it to live a long life. Later, receiving the essence of heaven and earth and nourished by rain and dew, it shed its herbaceous form and gained human form, becoming the Crimson Pearl Fairy—that is, your Lin Daiyu." Baoyu's heart skipped a beat. He said, "So that's how it is! Then why did Lin Daiyu descend to the mortal realm?" The Fairy Disenchantment tapped Baoyu's forehead and said, "You know the answer already! Isn't this all your own doing?" "Me?! Why? I…" "It's all because you descended to the mortal realm, and Jiangzhu said she still owed you tears, so she went with you. Not only that, but almost everyone else has left too—it's all your fault for being so promiscuous. Look at me now, this place is so deserted. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?" "I..." "Alright, today it's Keqing's turn, but don't forget next time. Come on, I'll teach you the ways of love first, my number one lecher in the world!" Baoyu, startled, quickly replied, "Fairy, you're mistaken. I'm lazy in my studies, and my parents still constantly admonish me. How dare I utter the word 'lecherous'? Besides, I'm still young and don't know what 'lecherous' means." Fairy Disenchantment laughed, "Oh, I didn't expect you to have picked up such a Taoist air after only a few days down there. If you didn't know, how could you have turned this Land of Illusion into your harem? It's just that your true nature hasn't awakened yet. You were originally jade, hence you were born with jade in your heart. Jade represents desire, and you wear it around your neck all day and still say you don't know! Do you still want to be a divine couple with Crimson Pearl?" "Yes, but..." "If you want to, then learn! Besides, it's not just Crimson Pearl. If you don't learn, how will you deal with those other sisters? -- This is different from back in the Celestial Realm." " So they are all... In that case, please enlighten me, Fairy Disenchantment." "I've already explained everything, so you don't need to call me Fairy anymore. Just call me Fairy Disenchantment as before. The Yellow Emperor became an immortal after having relations with three thousand women, and Peng Zu remained young for eight hundred years, which shows the wonders of the art of the bedroom. The Yellow Emperor's questions to the Plain Girl were recorded in the *Plain Girl Classic*. Today, I will teach you the first technique—Dragon Turning. Have the woman lie supine facing upwards, and the man lie on top of her, his thighs hidden on the bed. The woman raises her vulva to receive the jade stem. Insert it into the clitoris, then attack the top, gently and slowly, eight shallow thrusts and two deep ones, death and rebirth, strong and powerful, the woman will be aroused and pleasured, her joy like that of a courtesan." "By establishing self-control, all diseases will disappear. This means the woman lies supine, and the man lies prone on top, his feet placed between her thighs. The woman raises her hips, allowing her vulva (or opening) to receive the penis. The penis should stimulate the clitoris and attack the upper part of the vulva. After insertion, it must be slowly thrusting, using an eight-shallow-two-deep method. When the penis becomes erect, it is withdrawn, softened slightly, and then inserted again. By following this principle of life and death, the penis will become strong. Moreover, it will not only bring pleasure to the woman but also cure all diseases through vaginal contractions." Baoyu listened attentively, and the Fairy Disenchantment explained in detail, making him feel enlightened. The Fairy Disenchantment then asked, "Well, do you understand now?" Baoyu nodded. The Fairy Disenchantment said, "Since that's the case, you should go and try with Keqing first. If I hadn't said there was no one else in the palace and forced her to stay, I'm afraid I'd be the only one left today. You must comfort her well; I promised to bring you here to meet her, that's why I let her stay." Saying this, she led Baoyu to a fragrant boudoir, its furnishings more magnificent than he had ever seen before. There was another woman inside, her beauty and charm resembling Baochai, her graceful elegance like Daiyu. The Fairy Disenchantment pushed Baoyu into the room and closed the door before leaving. A Dream of Red Mansions (Part Two)

Remembering the words of the Fairy Disenchantment, Baoyu stepped forward and asked, "This must be the Fairy Keqing. It is truly an honor to have the Fairy Disenchantment's help and to be able to see your beautiful face today."

Keqing raised her head briefly, then lowered it again, two tears rolling down her jade-like cheeks onto her silk skirt. Baoyu

, who could not bear to see women cry, especially such a beautiful woman, quickly asked, "May I ask what is troubling you, Fairy?"

She slowly raised her head, revealing the tear tracks still visible, making her appear even more pitiful. She said, "I didn't expect you to forget me so completely after only a few days down there. Jinghuan, on the other hand, remembers me clearly; you must have just rekindled your old flame."

Baoyu then realized she was jealous and laughed, "Sister, you've misunderstood me. Since you know I've descended to the mortal realm, of course my memories of the celestial realm are gone."

Keqing said, "If that's the case, how do you know Jinghuan? You always called me Qingqing, so I knew immediately that you'd forgotten me."

Baoyu said, "I just arrived in the Land of Illusion, and Jinghuan told me everything that happened before, so I know her. How could she know such intimate words as 'Qingqing'? Besides, Jinghuan is very sisterly towards you; she told me right away that today is yours."

Hearing this, Keqing's face lit up with joy, and she said, "So I misunderstood her, and you even saw me like this..."

Baoyu laughed, "Sister, you look even more charming like this, but those tear stains are indeed incongruous with your fairy-like status. Let me help you." Saying this, he embraced her slender waist and sat her on the bed, gently covering her delicate lips with his own.

This was Baoyu's first kiss. Although he had previously tasted rouge, he hadn't truly experienced lovemaking, and his kisses were mostly playful. Therefore, he didn't dare kiss her deeply, and soon released her, only to see that Keqing's face was flushed, incredibly beautiful. Baoyu's heart stirred at the sight, and he kissed her fragrant cheek, gently wiping away her tear stains, before returning to her lips. This time, it wasn't a fleeting touch, but a full, intimate kiss.

After a long while, Baoyu noticed that the delicate body he was holding was gradually getting warmer, and her breathing was becoming heavier. At the same time, his own manhood was hard as iron. Remembering what the Fairy Disenchantment had taught him, he no longer hesitated and whispered in her ear, "My dear, I'm coming!" She slowly nodded, but also shyly buried her head in Baoyu's arms.
Baoyu's heart fluttered, and he kissed her cherry lips again. After the previous two warm-ups, they were already familiar with each other, and she also let go of her reserve, responding passionately. The two of them gradually fell onto the bed, and Baoyu's hands were no longer idle. He gently undressed her, and soon he had a pair of freshly peeled chicken heads in his hands. He felt that they were warmer than jade and smoother than cream. He realized that the ancients' description of "soft jade and warm fragrance" was indeed true.

Her body trembled, but quickly calmed down. Just then, their tightly pressed lips parted, and she exhaled, but it immediately turned into a soft moan. It turned out that Baoyu had already taken her small nipple into his mouth.

Baoyu sucked and licked it, occasionally using the tip of his tongue. Clearly, the nipple grew larger, and her moans rose and fell, yet remained melodious and captivating. One of Baoyu's hands kneaded her other breast, while the other had already reached that secluded paradise. This place truly lived up to its reputation; a babbling brook beckoned for a quick crossing. Baoyu dispatched one of his generals as the vanguard, searching for hidden gems several times, but finding the current growing stronger, he had to temporarily retreat and devise a new plan.
Ke Qing's phoenix eyes were already hazy, and she was incredibly charming. When she saw that Bao Yu had stopped, she patted Bao Yu's back with her jade-like hands and said, "Why are you still wearing these cumbersome clothes? Why don't you..."

Bao Yu nodded repeatedly and quickly took off all his clothes. His jade stem was already majestic and vigorous, full of fighting spirit. Keqing looked away and quickly turned her head. Baoyu lay opposite her. She was about to turn away again when Baoyu grabbed her arm and laughed, "Good sister, it's not like we've never met before, why be like this?"

Keqing said, "But it didn't seem this scary before..."

"That's because you're especially charming, sister!"

"You, it's this mouth of yours that makes all of us sisters so obedient. Saying this now, maybe you'll do the same with Jinghuan later!"

"In the end, sister is still a little jealous. Alright, watch me show you my true feelings!" Saying this, he spread her jade legs apart, and his already pent-up jade stem plunged into her secret place without hesitation. The pleasure brought by the impact made her moan throughout the boudoir.

Although it was already wet and slippery, she still felt obstacles everywhere. It was as if something alive was tightly wrapping around her jade stem, warm yet full of stimulation. The tingling, indescribable sensations emanating from her lower body made Ke Qing completely forget the loneliness of her previous solitary life, wholeheartedly pursuing wave after wave of increasingly intense pleasure. As Bao Yu's thrusts quickened, her moans grew louder, feeling like a small boat in a storm, constantly plummeting from peak to trough, only to surge to another height.

Just then, Bao Yu's hands and mouth reached her breasts, and his thrusting speed increased considerably. Under this multi-sensory stimulation, she was experiencing multiple orgasms, repeatedly crying out, "Good brother, your skills are getting better and better... Ah... I... haven't felt this happy in so long... Faster... Faster!"
"I'm so happy too, good sister... I'll make it up to you today..."

Her crystal-clear body was covered in tiny beads of sweat, and her cloud-like hair was disheveled with each movement, spreading across the embroidered bed, contrasting beautifully with her snow-white skin.

"I... I'm almost... unable to take it anymore, ah... ah... ya..." With a long moan, her whole body trembled, and her vaginal fluids gushed out.

Baoyu knew from the impact on his glans that she had reached her climax, and he quickly intensified his movements, saying, "Good sister... let's do it together... ah... I..." Finally, Baoyu also reached his climax, a large amount of his essence flowing into Keqing's flower, mixing with hers, and then flowing down between their bodies.

After a while, Baoyu withdrew his somewhat softened penis and lay down beside Keqing, smiling as he asked her how she was. Keqing replied shyly, "Perhaps it's been a long time, but it felt incredibly good just now. How about you?"

"This is the first time I've tasted such tenderness. 'The lovemaking at Wushan is in vain,' truly earthly bliss."
"No one would believe that! Did the amorous master of the Land of Illusion become a Confucian scholar in the mortal realm? If that were the case, why did he..." "

That's because I received instruction from the Fairy Disenchantment first. I was completely innocent in the mortal realm."

"You would be so kind as to let those sisters go? You're lying!" Saying this, she raised her hand and lightly slapped Baoyu, but unexpectedly struck his genitals. Stimulated by this, his jade stem rose again, startling her. She exclaimed, "You...want it again?"

"Don't you want it, sister? As the saying goes, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' Let's not waste this beautiful time in this embroidered bed."

He then whispered in Ke Qing's ear, "Besides, once I go back, I don't know when we'll meet again. Why not indulge in some joy?" Ke Qing thought it made sense, so they resumed their lovemaking, continuing until the third note of the Yangguan dance, when the passion subsided and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, after washing and dressing, the two went to see the Fairy Disenchantment. Seeing Ke Qing's languid appearance, the Fairy Disenchantment laughed, "Bao Yu, you really tried hard last night! You almost kept me awake." Turning to Ke Qing, she said, "Good sister, you won't say I lied to you now, will you?"

Ke Qing, her face flushed, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister."

Bao Yu also said, "Sister Fairy Disenchantment, thank you for your guidance."

The Fairy Disenchantment said, "The time has come; we will meet again. Ke Qing, you should escort him home now!" Ke
Qing escorted Bao Yu all the way to the place where she had first met the Fairy Disenchantment. Though their time together was tender and affectionate, they had to part, and tears streamed down her face.

Baoyu comforted her, saying, "Judging from what the Fairy Disenchantment said just now, she will surely soon be free from worldly troubles. I'm sure you'll understand why she's gone so soon!" Keqing
said, "There are so many sisters in the mortal realm; I'm afraid you've already forgotten me."

Baoyu replied, "No, I will remember you well, recite your name often, and never forget you." "

I also regret that I cannot enjoy life with you in the mortal world, but I heard from the Fairy Disenchantment that there is also someone in your household named… Oh, the time has come; you should go back now."

"Wait a minute, Keqing, Keqing!"

Baoyu felt everything before him vanish, but then he heard Xiren's voice: "Second Master, what are you dreaming about? Why are you all sweaty?"

Meanwhile, Qin Shi was outside the room instructing the maids to keep a close eye on the cats and dogs fighting when she suddenly heard Baoyu calling her by her childhood nickname in his dream. She wondered, "No one here knows my nickname. How does he know it, and why is he calling it out in his dream?"

(Dream of the Red Chamber, Part Three)

Qin Shi, hearing Baoyu call her childhood nickname in his dream, was naturally puzzled but didn't dare ask further. At that moment, Baoyu was dazed and seemed lost. Everyone quickly brought him longan soup, which he sipped a couple of times before getting up to straighten his clothes. As Xiren reached out to fasten his belt, her hand inadvertently touched his thigh, finding it cold and damp. Startled, she quickly withdrew her hand and asked what was wrong. Baoyu blushed and shoved her hand away.

Xiren, a clever woman two years older than Baoyu, had recently become more aware of matters of the heart. Seeing Baoyu's state, she immediately understood what was happening and blushed with embarrassment, daring not to ask further. She finished tidying her clothes and went to Grandmother Jia's place, hastily ate her dinner, and then came back here.

Taking advantage of the absence of the wet nurses and maids, Xiren quickly took out another undergarment for Baoyu to change into, and asked with a shy smile, "What story did you dream about? Where did those dirty things come from?"

Baoyu hesitated, unsure whether to tell her the truth. Xiren continued, "I am Second Master's personal maid, and I have served you for so many years. What can't I know?"

Baoyu looked up and saw Xiren's flushed face, which only made her more charming. Her breasts, barely concealed by the light undergarment, were incredibly voluptuous. He couldn't believe Xiren had truly grown up and become a mature woman. Looking at her shy yet expectant face, Baoyu made his decision.

"Alright, come here, I'll tell you." He then recounted his dream to Xiren in detail, and then spoke of the lovemaking taught by the Fairy Disenchantment. Xiren, blushing, covered her face and laughed.

Baoyu, who had always admired Xiren's gentle and charming nature, pulled her into his arms. Xiren quickly said, "Second Master, what are you doing?"

Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister Xiren, after hearing so much, don't you want to try? Stop pretending, come on!" He then grasped her breasts through her light clothing.

She struggled a couple of times before giving up, and Baoyu's hands began to move, kneading, rubbing, pinching, and touching. Even through her clothes, it had a unique flavor. At the same time, he gently kissed Xiren's fair neck, making her feel a mix of soreness and itchiness, a complex sensation. Baoyu casually untied her sash, and with a slight pull, her breasts fell entirely into his hands. It was the first time he had truly touched a woman's breasts, and the feeling was incredibly pleasurable.

Xi Ren's breasts weren't large, but they were very elastic and comfortable to hold. Bao Yu gently played with the pink nipples with his fingers, watching them gradually grow and become more alluring. His hands couldn't help but exert more force. He then noticed a small hard lump in her breast and pinched it.

Xi Ren cried out softly, "Second Master, be gentle, it hurts a little!" Bao Yu could no longer resist. He quickly stripped them both of their clothes and began to caress her entire body, his hands sliding towards her treasured virgin territory. He first stroked the outer edges, noticing the flow of vaginal fluid, then inserted his index finger into her secret place, gently probing.

"Ah...no, don't...it feels so strange there...ouch!!"

The final cry of pain came when his fingers touched her tightly closed entrance. Bao Yu quickly withdrew, instead gently rubbing her red nipple. As her love juices increased, her moans became even more alluring.
Seeing the opportunity, Baoyu withdrew his finger and asked, "Sister Xiren, how does it feel?"

She felt a sudden emptiness within her, and opened her watery, seductive eyes, saying, "Second Master, I was just starting to feel better, why are you..."

"Want to feel even better? Alright, kneel down and stick this up!" he said, patting her full buttocks.

She suppressed her shyness and obeyed, assuming the position. Baoyu knelt behind her, one hand holding her lower abdomen, first rubbing his jade stem against her petals. Soon, the nectar increased even more, and the aroma further intensified their desire.

Seeing that she was sufficiently wet, Baoyu aimed his jade stem at the entrance, embracing her flat stomach with both hands. Just as he was about to insert it, he heard her say, "Wait a moment, Second Master, this is my first time, you...you must be gentle!"

Baoyu laughed, "Don't worry, it's my first time too! By the way, I heard there's bleeding the first time." He then took the handkerchief that Xiren had just taken off and placed it under her. After assuming the correct position, he gently asked, "Good sister, I'm going to begin, are you ready?" Xiren gave a barely audible "Mmm," and Baoyu, as if receiving a divine decree, tightened his grip and thrust his waist, the tip of his jade stem disappearing into her secret place.

Just as he was about to advance further, he found himself blocked; it turned out that the guards of the forbidden area were making a final resistance. Baoyu tried it first and found it was alright, so he said, "Sister Xiren, just bear with it!" With a thrust, his entire jade stem entered her body.

Xiren cried out in pain, "Ah!" Baoyu quickly stopped and asked, "Sister Xiren, are you alright?"

Xiren replied through the pain, "N-no, I'm fine, but please stop for a moment."

Baoyu obeyed and stopped, withdrawing his jade stem slightly. He saw streaks of crimson mixed with the flowing love fluid, a clear sign of her "deflowering," and felt a surge of tenderness. He began to caress her entire body, kissing her back inch by inch. Gradually, her body grew hotter and hotter, and she finally spoke, "Okay, I feel so hot and itchy now, move a little!"

Baoyu had finally waited for this moment and immediately began thrusting, quickly experiencing the wonder of it all. She tightly enveloped the invading jade stem, leaving no gap, while her sensitive tip received even the slightest impact. As Baoyu's thrusts quickened, she began to sway in response to his movements. This made Baoyu feel as if he were in heaven. He quickly took a breath to stop himself from ejaculating and began to thrust vigorously.

Her moans rose and fell with the rhythm of his thrusts, finally reaching a high point after several consecutive climaxes. Baoyu felt water gushing out, numbing his glans, knowing she had climaxed. He then turned Xiren over into a dragon-like position and continued to plow hundreds of times. Xiren's hairpins fell loose, her beautiful hair swaying on the pillow with her movements, and she began to utter soft moans.

"Second Master, good Baoyu, you're so... ah... I'm almost there again..."

Baoyu, too, felt himself approaching climax and cried out, "Good sister, I never imagined your garden was so beautiful... If I had known... I should have come to visit sooner... ah... I'm almost there too... good sister!"
After a final, rapid, intense thrusting, she reached her peak once more, and Baoyu, too, experienced his first climax. The two embraced, savoring the blissful, ecstatic sensation...

After a while, the two got up to tidy up. The handkerchief, stained with traces of their past loveliness, looked pitiful. Seeing this, Xiren blushed again.

Baoyu laughed, "Sister Xiren, this is a treasure! It will be a family heirloom."

Xiren spat and quickly found some clothes to put on. As soon as she got out of bed, she cried out, "Ouch!" Baoyu quickly asked, "What's wrong? Was I too...?"

Xiren shook her head and said, "It's alright, I'll be fine in a bit."

"Sister Xiren, you're so good! I want you to stay with me forever!"

Xiren said, "I'd love to have you too, but I'm your maid anyway, so you don't need to worry too much. I'll go out now to avoid arousing suspicion." Watching her unsteady figure, Baoyu's heart was filled with tenderness...

********** ...

...

"Xiren seems a little unwell and has gone back to her room to rest. Should I go and call her?"

"No need. Qingwen, you've come at the right time. I have something to ask you. Do you know anyone in our household named Keqing?"

Qingwen thought for a moment and said, "There isn't anyone in our household named Keqing, and I don't know if there is in the East House. Oh, right, there's someone who definitely knows!"

"Good sister, tell me quickly, who is it?"

"Of course, it's our Second Mistress, the head housekeeper. There's probably nothing in these two households that she doesn't know. Why don't you just go and ask her?"

Upon hearing this, Baoyu exclaimed happily, "That's right! I'm so forgetful I even forgot this. Good sister, you're someone I can't be without for a moment. I'll go right now!"

Qingwen said, "Who exactly is Keqing that you're in such a hurry? -- Even if you're going, you should put on another layer of clothing; it's already dark."

"Good sister, it's rare that you're so thoughtful." Saying this, she hugged her and gently kissed her rosy cheek.

Qingwen chuckled, pulled away, and said, "You should go find Xiren for that kind of thanks. I'll go find you some clothes." Saying this, she ran off.

Baoyu thought, "Could it be that Xiren... found out about what happened earlier?" Although Qingwen was stubborn and often argued with him, he still liked her the most among the maids because he knew that Qingwen cared for him no less than anyone else, and he didn't want to put on airs and suppress her. "If it were her, perhaps what just happened wouldn't have occurred!" This made him think of his other sisters. There were many women in the household, and he had always treated everyone equally except for Lin Daiyu. He realized he would have to think more carefully from now on.

Baoyu changed his clothes and went to find Fengjie to ask for clarification. On the way, he met Zhou Rui's wife seeing an elderly woman off. He waited for her to return and asked, "Sister Zhou, who were you seeing off?"

Zhou Rui's wife looked up and saw Baoyu. She quickly smiled and said, "Oh, it's Second Master Bao! That was Granny Liu. Her ancestors served as officials with the old master, and they became related by chance. I just introduced her to Second Mistress."

Baoyu smiled and said, "Fengjie hasn't rested yet, has she? I'll go check on her." He then bid farewell to Zhou Rui's wife and headed towards Fengjie's place.

At the door, he found a little maid dozing off. Not wanting to wake her, Baoyu tiptoed inside, only to find the hall empty. He found this strange. Just as he was about to leave, he faintly heard some strange noises. Following the sound, he discovered they were coming from Fengjie's bedroom. As they drew closer, the voices became clearer, but it was a strange sound, like a broken record. Curious, they moved even closer, only
to hear someone inside say, "Auntie told me to come tonight. Are you satisfied with my efforts?"

Then came Feng Jie's voice: "You wretched Rong'er, can't you talk less and do more?... Ah... You seem very energetic today... Ah... Haven't you been with your wife these past two days?"

Upon hearing this, Baoyu recognized Jia Rong. The image of his wife, Qin Shi, with her graceful and delicate figure flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Then he heard Jia Rong say, "Good aunt, my woman is like a piece of wood in bed, utterly boring. She has a pretty face, but how can she compare to you, aunt, who knows the ways of love and pleasure… Ah… you're moving so hard… Ah… I can't take it anymore…"

Baoyu knew then that their lovemaking was nearing its end. Thinking of the embarrassment of being caught in the act, he quickly pulled away. In his haste, he was snagged by a tree branch. Without caring whether anyone had heard, he hurried back to his room.
Seeing that Baoyu was still catching his breath, Qingwen asked with a smile, "Second Master, you were just going to ask someone, why did you end up running away like that?"

Baoyu replied, "Alas, it's a long story. Just pretend I never went to see Fengjie. Oh, right, there's something else. What do you think of Rong, the eldest daughter-in-law of the East Mansion?"

"Rong, the eldest daughter-in-law? She seems quite good! She looks somewhat like Lin Daiyu, and is certainly a first-rate person. As the eldest grandson's wife, she is gentle and peaceful in her actions, always filial to her elders and kind to her juniors. Even the servants in the household speak highly of her. However, she is from the East Mansion and rarely comes to our place. Why did you suddenly ask about her, Second Master?"

Baoyu shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's getting late, you should go to sleep too!"

Qingwen said, "Then I'll help Second Master to bed first." She then tidied the bed, and after Baoyu fell asleep, she went to sleep in the outer room.

That night, Baoyu couldn't sleep. So much had happened that day; he felt like he had grown several years older, no longer the spoiled Baoyu he once was. The events of the day swirled in his mind like a revolving lantern. Which sisters came from the Land of Illusion? Who exactly was Keqing? Furthermore, Baoyu couldn't reconcile the woman who constantly uttered lewd words under Jia Rong with the domineering Second Mistress. Hearing this, he wondered if he could face Fengjie as before, but if he didn't ask Fengjie, perhaps no one would know about Keqing. Unable to decide, he drifted off to sleep.
As Baoyu got up in the morning, Qingwen helped him wash up, saying, "Second Mistress just sent a maid to tell Second Master to hurry over!"

Baoyu asked, "Didn't she say what it was about?"

Qingwen replied, "No. I specifically asked her, and she said that after Granny Zhou went up to report this morning, Second Mistress summoned her."

Upon hearing this, Baoyu thought, "Could it be that Sister Feng discovered I eavesdropped last night? No matter what, I can't avoid her forever; I might as well go and find out the truth."

But then Qingwen said, "Could it be that Second Master did something bad last night, causing Second Mistress to send people to arrest him so early?" She chuckled softly as she spoke.

"Then what bad thing do you think I did?"

"What bad thing could someone like Second Master do?"

"Forget it, don't guess anymore. I'll go and see!" Dream

of the Red Chamber (Part 5)

After much deliberation, Baoyu decided to go see Fengjie, but when he arrived, Fengjie was not there, which puzzled him. At this moment, a person came out from inside and said, "Second Master Bao, you've arrived. Second Mistress waited for you but didn't come, so she went back to her room first."

Baoyu looked and saw it was Ping'er. He smiled and asked, "Sister Ping, do you know why Sister Feng called me here?"

Ping'er smiled and said, "I don't know either. It seems she has something for you. Go see her yourself!"
I responded and went to Sister Feng's room, thinking, "Sister Ping is Sister Feng's confidante. What she said should be right. Then... it wasn't yesterday's matter?" Thinking this, I felt much relieved.
Passing through the corridor, I arrived at Sister Feng's door, only to see a little maid standing guard there—the very same one who had dozed off last night. She looked listless, with what appeared to be tear stains on her face. Suddenly, she looked up and saw Baoyu, and hurriedly said, "Second Master Bao, you've finally arrived! Second Mistress is waiting for you!"

Baoyu glanced at her, hesitated, then pushed open the door and went in. He saw Fengjie sitting by the window, doing her hair in front of the mirror. Before he could speak, Fengjie laughed, "Baoyu, you've come! Sit down for a while. You didn't come sooner! I just got back and a branch brushed against my hair, so I'm fixing it now!"

Baoyu sat down at the table and carefully looked around the room. He felt it was lavishly decorated, lacking the delicate charm of Qin Shi's room, but surpassing it in opulence.

Fengjie said, "What are you looking around for? It's not like you've never been here before."

Baoyu replied, "Nothing. By the way, Fengjie, what did you want to see me about?"

"It's nothing much… I'm almost done, wait a moment… I'll be done." Saying this, she got up and sat down opposite Baoyu.

Baoyu looked at Fengjie. She was dressed exceptionally well today, her eyebrows and lips clearly meticulously drawn. Although it was winter and she was wearing many layers of clothing, it couldn't conceal her beautiful curves, especially her high, firm breasts, which he believed were unparalleled. Thinking of this, Baoyu couldn't help but curse himself inwardly. How could he have such thoughts about his sister-in-law? He knew that yesterday's events had caused him to be so distracted.

Seeing that Baoyu was initially staring at her, then seemed to remember something and turned his head away, Fengjie knew what was going

on. She asked, "Baoyu, you came yesterday, why did you leave without seeing me?" "It wasn't anything serious anyway. I saw you weren't in the hall, Fengjie, so I planned to come back today and went home first." Baoyu knew from her question that the key point was what happened last night. Since Zhou Rui's wife had seen him, saying he hadn't come wouldn't work, so he gave her a half-truth.

"Oh, is that so? Then it's alright. I called you here today because I have something to give you, look!"

Baoyu thought he had gotten away with it after hearing her previous words, but when he saw the item, he was startled and knew something was wrong. It was a purse, exquisitely embroidered with delicate silk threads.

Sister Feng laughed, "What do you think of this purse? Even in our own household, few could make something like it."

Baoyu, forcing a smile, said, "It's just a little small, nothing special."

"Brother Bao, you're mistaken. So small, yet so well-made, every thread shows ingenuity and skill. How can you say it's nothing special? In our household, there's probably only one who could make something like this, and that is…"

"Alright, alright, good sister-in-law, I admit defeat, I surrender! Is that alright? That purse was made by Sister Lin and given to me."

"Why didn't you just admit it earlier? Losing something from Miss Lin isn't something you can explain away with just a few words. I found it for you, how are you going to thank me?"

Baoyu knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He hadn't expected to be caught on this purse... It must have been snagged on a branch last night and fallen down. He thought to himself, "Next time I'd better be careful; it's best to keep things Lin Daiyu gives me close to my body." But what should he do now? Sigh, he'd unexpectedly made himself look like a thief.

"Fengjie, thank me however you wish; I'll obey."

"Alright, come here and give me a back massage."

Baoyu had no choice but to walk behind her and gently massage her fair back. After a few massages, Fengjie said she was a little hot, so she took off her outer garment, even loosening a few buttons on her silk robe. This was too much for Baoyu to handle. His hands were pounding her plump, delicate body, his nose filled with alluring fragrance, and to make matters worse, her full breasts swayed with his movements. Even through her silk robe, they were incredibly tempting, and his lower body was already involuntarily aroused.

Fengjie quickly noticed Baoyu's change. After he pounded her a few more times, she said, "I'm a little sleepy, but you've made me weak all over. Why don't you carry me to bed?"

Baoyu was startled and quickly said, "How can I? Good sister-in-law, please forgive me!"
"Who said we should thank each other however we wanted?" "

...Alright, but this is how you thank me." "

As long as you do this, I'll consider you've thanked me."

Baoyu had no choice but to pick up Fengjie's alluring body and carry her to the beautifully decorated embroidered couch. Although it was only a few steps, he was almost drenched in sweat. Only after placing Fengjie on the bed did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, thinking, "Finally, it's over. Staying any longer would have definitely led to trouble. I

'd better leave quickly." But Fengjie moved even faster, grabbing Baoyu's manhood the moment she put him down. Before Baoyu could react, Fengjie's other hand had already swiftly untied the handkerchief binding his waist, her speed astonishing. Baoyu cried out in surprise, only to hear Fengjie say, "Brother Bao, if you scream, I'll scream even louder, saying you tried to assault me. You decide." Seeing that Baoyu was stunned, she smiled with satisfaction, but looking down, she gasped in astonishment—Baoyu's penis was already erect as a pillar.

"I knew it was extraordinary when it touched my body just now, but I never imagined it would be so exceptional. If I had known, I would have..." The rest was inaudible because her lips were engulfing Baoyu's penis.
Baoyu was somewhat at a loss, but the pleasure from his lower body was unprecedented. It was warm and moist there, and she was moving intensely and skillfully. Not only was it sucking and holding, but also the light licking of her tongue and the gentle biting of her teeth. Soon, Baoyu was on the verge of ejaculation. At this moment, Fengjie's tongue scraped against the sensitive tip, which made Baoyu unable to endure it any longer. Warm essence surged into Fengjie's mouth with overwhelming force. Although she tried her best to swallow, a small amount still flowed out from the corners of her mouth and dripped onto her almost perfect breasts.

She swallowed several times before finally gulping down the milky white liquid in her mouth, then spat out her jade stem and asked, "Baoyu, how did it feel just now?"

Baoyu thought to himself, he was the one who discovered her affair, but now he was the one being… Thinking of this, he was furious. He went forward and lifted Fengjie to the inside of the bed, then straddled her, his hands beginning to thoroughly remove any obstacles from her body.

Fengjie, not expecting this, hurriedly said, "Baoyu, you… what are you trying to do? Stop… stop!"

"Didn't you say I molested you? Since things have come to this, I really will!" He said, having already stripped her naked, spreading her legs wide, aiming his now-erect, even more impressive, penis at her private parts, and thrusting it in without hesitation.

Although Fengjie was initially on the defensive, she had seduced Baoyu that day, and the foreplay had already left her visibly aroused. However, Baoyu's penis was no ordinary member, so he still felt some pain. Thinking of what had just happened, Baoyu vented all his anger there, his actions completely different from the gentle tenderness he had shown with Keqing and Xiren before; he attacked relentlessly, like a storm.

Fengjie had never experienced such a fierce onslaught before, and soon she was moaning and groaning incessantly: "Baoyu, my little darling, you're going to kill me... ah... ah... can't you be a little gentler?"

Baoyu ignored her moans, focusing solely on his assault, fully utilizing his experience from previous encounters, quickly bringing her to orgasm. Baoyu continued thrusting, and Fengjie's vaginal fluids flowed out with each stroke of his jade stem, soaking a large patch of the sheets. Baoyu gave her no chance to catch her breath, pulling her over and holding her lower abdomen tightly with both hands, his jade stem beginning its vigorous and intense movements again.

"Ah... Baoyu... your skills are truly amazing... much better than your second brother Lian... ah..."
Seeing her breasts trace beautiful arcs in the air, Baoyu moved slightly forward, capturing them in his hands and kneading them continuously. This two-pronged approach caused Fengjie to reach orgasm time and time again. It wasn't until after her fourth climax that Baoyu finally ejaculated his second time that day.

(Dream of the Red Chamber, Part Six)

After a while, Baoyu finally came to his senses from his earlier daze. Thinking about what had happened, he couldn't help but sigh, and then got out of bed to dress. Fengjie, having recovered considerably, saw Baoyu about to leave and hurriedly said, "Baoyu, you...you're leaving already?"

"Why aren't I leaving? What am I doing here? Fengjie, although I saw it last night, I won't tell anyone. Why did you...sigh..."

"Baoyu, it's because your second brother Lian was gone for so long that I couldn't resist and was deceived by that damned Rong'er. He said his wife, Keqing, is beautiful but lacks charm..."

Upon hearing the name "Keqing," Baoyu was startled and quickly interrupted, "Keqing? Jia Rong's wife is named Keqing?"

"Yes, I've always been close to her, but if Rong'er hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even know! I only know that Qin Ye adopted her from the orphanage because he was childless in his old age, and unexpectedly, Qin Ye had a son, Qin Zhong, when he was over fifty."
"Qin Zhong? I heard her mention him last time. She says he's handsome and kind, but I've

never had the chance to meet him." "Qin Shi and her younger brother have a very good relationship. If you want to see Qin Zhong, just tell her. By the way, Sister-in-law Zhen invited me to go shopping today. You can come with me; it'll be my way of apologizing to you, how about it?"

Baoyu thought it over and said, "Alright, I'll go back and change my clothes before I come back." He picked up the purse on the table, hid it close to his body, and turned back to say, "Let's pretend these past two days never happened. Let's all forget about it!" Without waiting for Fengjie's reply, he walked out the door.

Baoyu walked along, lost in thought. Occasionally, he looked up and saw someone turning the corner in the corridor and heading out. The back view was familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. Baoyu didn't bother to investigate further and returned to his room.
Seeing Baoyu's appearance, Qingwen laughed, "Yesterday you fled in a panic, and today you look so listless. Second Master, what's been going on between you and Second Mistress these past two days? -- I almost went to look for you after you were gone for so long..." She quickly stopped, realizing she'd let something slip.

"I...you've forgotten about what happened these past two days! Go find me some clothes; I'm going to the East Mansion with Fengjie."

"Okay, alright, I'll go right now. Second Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, go ahead!" These things were difficult to say, especially to Qingwen; Baoyu found it hard to bring up. Qingwen responded and left, but in her eyes, Baoyu clearly saw worry and concern.
Baoyu and Fengjie rode together to the East Mansion, both preoccupied, and thus remained silent the entire way.

Upon entering the Ning Mansion, they were greeted by You Shi, wife of Jia Zhen, and Qin Shi, wife of Jia Rong, along with numerous concubines, maids, and wives, who led them out of the ceremonial gate. Upon seeing Feng Jie, You Shi would first offer a few sarcastic remarks, then take Bao Yu's hand and lead him into the main room to sit down.

After Qin Shi served the tea, Feng Jie said, "Why did you invite me here? If you have anything good to offer me, bring it quickly, I have other matters to attend to."

Before You Shi and Qin Shi could answer, several concubines on the ground laughed and said, "If Second Mistress hadn't come today, fine, but now that she's here, we can't let her get away with it."

Bao Yu then asked, "Is Eldest Brother not home today?"

You Shi replied, "He went out of the city with Rong'er to pay their respects to Master, and they won't be back until dark. But you seem rather bored, what are you doing sitting here? Why don't you go for a walk?"

Qin Shi smiled and said, "What a coincidence! The brother that Uncle Bao wanted to see last time is here today too, probably in his study. Uncle Bao, why don't you go and see him?"

Fengjie said, "Why not invite this young Master Qin in? I'd like to see him too. Do you think I can't bear to see him?"
Qin Shi then went out and brought in a young man, slightly thinner than Baoyu, with delicate features, a fair complexion, and rosy lips. He was handsome, with a charming demeanor, seemingly superior to Baoyu, though timid and shy, displaying a girlish air.

He bowed slowly and demurely to Fengjie. Fengjie was delighted and pushed Baoyu aside first, laughing, "He's better than me!" She then reached out and took the child's hand, ordering him to sit beside her. She slowly asked him: How old are you? What school do you study? How many brothers do you have? What's your school name? Qin Zhong answered all her questions.

Baoyu saw Qin Zhong's outstanding character, and Qin Zhong saw Baoyu's extraordinary manners; the two immediately hit it off. After a dozen or so exchanges, they felt increasingly close. Tea and fruit were quickly laid out, and Baoyu said, "We two don't drink wine, so let's put the fruit in the inner room and sit there, so we won't bother you."

Qin Shi smiled and said, "Uncle Bao, since you prefer peace and quiet, why don't you come to my room? Your nephew isn't here today, so no one will disturb you." Seeing Baoyu nod, Qin Shi called a maid to lead the two of them there.

Now that it was just the two of them, they spoke much more freely. Baoyu said, "I've long heard of your handsome and extraordinary appearance, and seeing you today, it's truly astonishing. I feel utterly inferior."

Qin Zhong said, "Sister has spoken of Uncle Bao's charm many times, and seeing you today, I realize that seeing is believing; your reputation is well-deserved." The two admired each other and agreed to study together next year.

Just as things were getting along well, Qin Shi pushed open the door and entered. Bao Yu immediately asked what was wrong. Qin Shi said, "Your nephew is shy, but he's also quite strong-willed and not very easygoing. I was afraid he might argue with Uncle Bao, so I came to ask you to keep an eye on me and not pay him any attention. But it seems you two don't need me to say anything more."

Bao Yu smiled and said, "I only regret that we met today. How could there be any arguing? But aren't you with Feng Jie?" "

Second Mistress and the others are playing cards! I wasn't feeling well, so I came back first... I have a question, and I'd like to ask Uncle Bao to answer it." "

What is it?"

"...Hmm..."

Seeing Qin Shi hesitate, Qin Zhong said, "When I came here with Uncle Bao just now, I saw that the plum blossoms outside the hall were in full bloom. Let me go and admire them." He then left, closing the door behind him.

After Qin Zhong left, Qin Shi said, "Last time Uncle Bao took a nap in my room, and when he woke up, he called for Ke Qing. I wonder who that was?"

Baoyu recalled what Keqing had said. Since Jinghuan knew, Qinshi must also be from the Land of Illusion. He said, "I had a dream." "

A dream? Then Keqing is…?"

"It's you. You're the one I met in my dream!"

"Uncle Bao, how…how can you say that?"

"Isn't your name Keqing?"

Qinshi lowered her head, silent. Why did she have to ask? Wouldn't it have been better to keep a little secret in her heart? But since she had already asked, she had no choice but to face the result. Besides, without anyone's support, she probably couldn't bear it any longer.

**********

...

...

"Since I've already called you Keqing, you don't need to call me Uncle Bao anymore. Just call me Baoyu!"
"...Bao...Baoyu, may I call you that?" Qin Shi felt like she was in a dream, as if Baoyu was leading her to relive his dream.

"Of course. But Keqing, are you troubled by something?" Baoyu saw surprise in Qin Shi's eyes, but also sadness. "I will do everything I can to help her!" Thinking of this, Baoyu couldn't help but curse Jia Rong inwardly.

"...Hmm, so you already know?" Qin Shi felt extremely ashamed that this matter had been discovered, especially by Baoyu, the person she had always secretly admired.

"He made a mistake, Keqing, you don't need to be too sad. I'll find a chance to persuade him to stop making this mistake."

"But he won't listen to you. These past few days he's been even more... I really can't take it anymore! I... I'm going crazy!" Keqing said, burying her face in her hands and sobbing.

Baoyu looked at her slightly heaving shoulders and felt a deeper understanding of her pain. What had happened to Jinghuan? How could she have given Keqing such an identity? But regardless, Baoyu knew what he should do now.
A hand landed on Keqing's shoulder, and Baoyu's gentle voice reached her ear: "Cry it out! It will make you feel better."

She turned her head and was met with Baoyu's sincere gaze. In that exchange of eyes, their feelings were clear to each other. Without hesitation, she threw herself into Baoyu's arms. Baoyu held Keqing's delicate body tightly, letting the hot tears stream down her shoulders and onto his body. He felt these tears flowing into his very being—no, into his heart.

What did tears taste like? A strange question suddenly occurred to Baoyu.

After a long while, Keqing finally stopped whimpering and looked up. "A pear blossom in spring rain," this was exactly what Baoyu saw before him, but in Keqing's eyes, the sorrow had vanished. "Baoyu, thank you. I'm much better. I think I have enough courage to face all of this!" As if she had regained her vitality, Keqing shone brightly as she spoke, even the tears on her face looked like sparkling pearls.
Seeing Keqing like this, Baoyu felt greatly comforted, yet a strange unease lingered in his heart. Should he just let her go like this?

No, a voice inside her said: You know her feelings, you understand her intentions, you should…

“No, I will give you even more!” Bao-yu blurted out.

Looking into Bao-yu's eyes, Ke-qing understood his thoughts. She tilted her head slightly, then covered her beautiful eyes. Bao-yu gently licked away the tears on her face, and the unformed ones on her eyelashes. Tears, so they tasted a little salty! Finally, Bao-yu kissed Ke-qing's small, red lips, first gently sucking, then slowly licking. Ke-qing gradually learned to respond, and their tongues intertwined. Until they were almost breathless, their lips parted, but quickly, they joined together again.

"Is this a dream? I'm so afraid it will all be gone when I open my eyes."

"No, this isn't a dream, it's more beautiful than any dream. Look at me!" Staring at Ke Qing's open eyes, Bao Yu said, "I'm standing right in front of you, and I'm holding you. I want you!"

Tears welled in Ke Qing's eyes, and Bao Yu once again took her lips. As their tongues intertwined deeply, Bao Yu picked up Ke Qing and carried her to the embroidered couch where they had slept the previous night.

As Ke Qing's clothes gradually fell away, her beautiful body, which had been hidden, slowly revealed itself—her slender waist, her breasts, everything about her was so alluring. Ke Qing also let go of her shyness, fully displaying her proud body; she wanted to offer her best to the one she loved most. Bao Yu sensed her feelings, so he removed his outer robe and lay down facing Ke Qing.

"Qing, have you dreamt of me?" Baoyu asked, gently stroking her snow-white skin.
"...I've dreamt of you a few times, but each time I only dreamt of you kissing me before waking up...ah...you..."
"It won't be like that today. I not only want to kiss you, but also..." Baoyu expressed his meaning through actions. His hands began to move over her full breasts, occasionally pinching her small nipples with his fingers. Soon, her nipples grew larger, and even their color deepened.

"...Ah...ah...hmm..." Qing let out soft moans. The sensations she felt were unfamiliar, yet also wonderful. Before, whether with her husband Jia Rong or that repulsive "him," there was only the pain of being grabbed and pinched. But this time, she experienced multiple layers of exquisite sensations. With the movement of Baoyu's fingers, she felt as if her whole body was being heated.

Baoyu's hand had already left the mountain peak, advancing towards the valley, while his lips took its place, taking it into his mouth. He sucked on the enlarged nipple, seemingly trying to draw milk from it, while also licking the surrounding areola. His fingers found the entrance in the dense, moist forest, where jade fluid was constantly flowing out, as if welcoming the arrival of a guest. Baoyu tentatively inserted his middle finger into the sacred palace of the woman, while his thumb and forefinger gently pinched the already protruding clitoris from the outside.

Keqing felt somewhat flustered, because intense sensations were surging throughout her body, making her unsure of where to savor the pleasure. Baoyu gently bit her nipple, then gently rubbed it between his teeth, while at the same time, Baoyu's other hand moved to her full, snowy buttocks, and the fingers in her honeyed cave quickened their pace of entry and exit.

"...Ah...ah...I...I...can't hold back anymore...ah──!!" With that high-pitched cry, Ke Qing's body began to convulse violently. Bao Yu's fingers were thoroughly washed, and at the same time, that area contracted tightly, lasting for quite a while before calming down.

"How did it feel?" Bao Yu asked only after her climax had completely passed.

"Yes, I've never felt so happy before. At that moment, it felt like I was ascending to heaven. It was the first time I'd ever had such an experience."

The first time? That means she'd never reached orgasm before? Remembering Jia Rong's words, "unromantic, like a block of wood," Bao Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for Ke Qing.

"I'll let you experience it again, even more wonderfully!" Saying this, Bao Yu removed his last piece of clothing and inserted his long-awaited jade stem into its rightful place.

"Ah...ah...Bao Yu, we're finally together!..." Ke Qing tightly embraced Bao Yu, enduring his repeated thrusts, her eyes glistening with tears.

And so, Bao Yu used all the techniques he knew to give Ke Qing a better experience, helping her reach the peak time and time again. Ke Qing responded with her passionate but somewhat clumsy movements, because they both knew that today was the first and the last! Finally, with another high-pitched moan from Ke Qing, Bao Yu also ejaculated his hot sap.

*********
...

Baoyu said, "Keqing, I have to go now, to avoid arousing suspicion. But please take care of yourself for my sake!"

"I will, Baoyu. Thank you so much for today; you gave me such a wonderful memory!" "
...Keqing..." Baoyu kissed her trembling red lips again, holding her tightly as if trying to make their bodies one.

The record-breakingly long kiss finally ended, both of them slightly breathless. "...I have to go..." Keqing nodded gently, but tears welled up again. "

Holding hands, gazing at each other with tearful eyes, speechless and choked with emotion." Baoyu suddenly had a bad feeling; could this parting be...? "The most heart-wrenching sorrow is parting!" For the first time, Baoyu felt that these were no longer just rigid words in a book, but living, breathing feelings—his own current emotions. "Can I leave? Just leave her alone like this?" Baoyu asked himself, but he couldn't stay here forever. He could only comfort himself: this is only temporary; we're so close, I can come back to see her anytime.

"Go ahead! Come visit me when you have time. Although we can't always be together, just seeing you, knowing you're by my side, is enough for me. After all, we are..." Keqing seemed to understand Baoyu's thoughts.

"Then...you should rest well!" Baoyu finally stepped out of the room, but in that moment of turning back, he saw glistening tears sliding down Keqing's cheeks.

Qin Zhong, however, was leaning against the wall in the corridor not far from the door. Seeing Baoyu come out, he beckoned and led him to a small room nearby. After closing the door, he smiled and said, "Uncle Bao, how did it feel just now?"

"Were you waiting outside the whole time?" Bao Yu recalled Qin Zhong's reaction; clearly, he knew Ke Qing's feelings for him.

"Of course, otherwise, what if someone suddenly barged in? But Sister is very happy today, after all, Uncle Bao is..."

"Did Ke Qing tell you?"

"Although she didn't say it explicitly, every time she comes home, she talks about you the most, Uncle Bao. How could I not know? But today, thanks to Uncle Bao, Sister has been looking worried lately. When I asked her what was wrong, she wouldn't tell me. I was really afraid she'd get sick from holding it in. Now I can finally relax."

"I noticed that too. I hope this will help her. Alright, let's go to the front. Sister Feng is probably leaving soon." It was already dusk, and the two went out to watch them play cards again. When settling the bill, it turned out that You Shi had lost the money for the banquet, and they agreed to have the same banquet the day after tomorrow.

She immediately ordered dinner to be served. After dinner, as it was getting dark, Feng Jie rose to take her leave, walking hand in hand with Bao Yu. You Shi and the others saw them off to the main hall. The two returned home and greeted everyone. Bao Yu first told Grandmother Jia about Qin Zhong's upcoming studies at the family school, mentioning that he now had a study companion, which would motivate him to study harder. He also praised Qin Zhong's character and conduct, saying he was very lovable. Feng Jie chimed in, saying things like, "He'll come to pay his respects to Grandmother Jia in a few days," which pleased Grandmother Jia. Feng Jie then took the opportunity to invite Grandmother Jia to see a play the day after tomorrow. Although Grandmother Jia was old, she was very enthusiastic. The day after tomorrow, You Shi also came to invite them, so they took Lady Wang, Lin Daiyu, Bao Yu, and others to see the play.

Baoyu originally intended to visit Keqing again, but unexpectedly, Keqing was unwell and resting in her room, making it inconvenient for him to go. He was quite unhappy. Although he usually enjoyed lively gatherings, he had no interest in them at this time. Remembering that Xue Baochai had been recuperating at home recently and he hadn't visited her, he decided to go and see her.

Enough of the idle talk on the way; let's talk about Baoyu arriving at Pear Fragrance Courtyard. He first went to Aunt Xue's room and saw Aunt Xue doing needlework with the maids. Baoyu quickly greeted her, and Aunt Xue immediately pulled him into her arms, smiling and saying, "It's so cold today, my child, it's kind of you to think of coming. Come and sit on the kang (heated brick bed)." She ordered someone to pour him boiling tea.
Baoyu asked, "Is Brother not home?"

Aunt Xue sighed, "He's like a horse without a bridle, always busy, he wouldn't stay home even for a day."

Baoyu asked, "Is Sister well?"

Aunt Xue replied, "Yes, she is. You were thinking of sending someone to check on her the other day. She's in the back room, go see her." Baoyu did as she said.

When he arrived at Baochai's room, the door was closed. Just as he was about to knock, he heard a soft "shh" from the side. Turning around, he saw it was Ying'er. She gestured for silence, led Baoyu to the next room, and then said, "Second Master Bao, you've come to see Miss, haven't you? She just took her medicine and went to sleep."

Baoyu said, "Aren't you bored being here alone?"

Ying'er said, "I'm making knots!"

Baoyu said, "Then make a few knots for me too."

Ying'er asked, "What kind of knots?"

Baoyu, seeing the question, laughed and said, "Whatever you want to put in them, just make a few of each." Ying'er

clapped her hands and laughed, "That's impossible! At this rate, we'd never finish in ten years!"

Baoyu laughed, "Good sister, you have nothing better to do, just make them all for me." Ying'er

laughed, "We can't finish them all in a short time, tell me what kind you want to make."

Baoyu said, "A handkerchief will do."

Ying'er asked, "What color is the handkerchief?"

Baoyu replied, "Bright red."

Ying'er said, "Bright red looks best with black tassels, or perhaps dark blue to tone down the color."
Baoyu asked, "What goes with pine-flower color?"

Ying'er said, "Pine-flower goes with peach pink."

Baoyu smiled, "That's more vibrant. It should be elegant yet subtly vibrant."

Ying'er said, "Onion green and willow yellow are my favorites."

Baoyu said, "Alright then, make one peach pink and one onion green."

Ying'er asked, "What patterns?"

Baoyu asked, "How many patterns are there?"

Ying'er said, "One stick of incense, a stool facing upwards, eye-shaped patterns, square knots, linked rings, plum blossoms, willow leaves."

Baoyu asked, "What pattern did you make for the Third Miss the other day?"

Ying'er replied, "That was a cluster of plum blossoms."

Baoyu said, "That's good." Ying'er then straightened the thread and began to make the pattern.

As Baoyu watched Ying'er knitting a knot, he chatted idly, asking her, "How old are you?"

Ying'er, still knitting, replied, "Sixteen."

Baoyu asked, "What was your original surname?"

Ying'er replied, "Huang."

Baoyu laughed, "That's a good name; you really are a yellow oriole." Ying'er smiled

, "My name was originally two characters, 'Golden Oriole.' But you found it too difficult to pronounce, so you're just called 'Ying'er,' and now that's how it's been called."

Baoyu said, "Sister Bao really dotes on you. When Sister Bao gets married tomorrow, you'll definitely be going with her."
Ying'er smiled faintly. Baoyu laughed, "I often tell Xiren, I wonder which lucky one will be able to enjoy the company of you two, mistress and servant, tomorrow?"

Ying'er laughed, "You don't know how many advantages our young lady has that no

one else in the world possesses, and her looks are second to none." Seeing Ying'er's charming and gentle manner, her laughter and talk so sweetly, Baoyu was already captivated, and now that Baochai was mentioned, he asked her, "What are her advantages? Good sister, tell me in detail." Ying'er laughed,

"I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell her." Baoyu laughed,

"Of course."

********** ... Writing Ying'er's part is too long, I'll put it in the next chapter !
**********

... Baoyu asked, "What was that sound?" Ying'er replied, "It might have been something hitting the window, but when I went to check, there was no one there." Baoyu said, "Don't worry about it so much, dear sister, please continue!" Ying'er said, "Alright, our young lady has several virtues that are truly unmatched by anyone else in the world! First, she has a gentle nature, neither elated nor angry, treating everyone the same, good or bad. She is very discerning and always calm and composed, never speaking harshly or being sarcastic." Baoyu simply nodded. "Secondly, her knowledge of poetry and literature is profound, as you, Second Master, naturally know. Thirdly, she is skilled in every craft; even the same thread shines in her hands." Baoyu asked, "Anything else?" Ying'er laughed, "She has a unique fragrance. While other people's clothes need a scent, her clothes, even after she's worn them for a few days, retain their fragrance; and if she wears them often, they smell even stronger. Fifthly, her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth are all exquisitely beautiful—everything about her is lovely. And her voice is clear and her speech is fluent—everything about her is wonderful!" Baoyu laughed, "Truly remarkable! But since you say her clothes smell so good, then you're with her every day, don't you smell good too?" Ying'er laughed, "I'm not clothes, how could I smell good?" Baoyu said, "Whether I smell good or not, why don't you let me smell good for a moment and you'll know?" Ying'er laughed, "What does 'fragrant' mean?... Hmm..." It turned out that Baoyu had already shown her what "fragrant" meant through his actions; he was carefully savoring the petals, which were clearly untouched. They were slightly sweet, and of course, fragrant, indistinguishable between the scent of rouge and her own. Baoyu gently licked her lips, then gradually explored further. Ying'er's tightly closed lips slowly parted, and their tongues made direct contact for the first time. Just as Baoyu was about to continue, he caught a glimpse of Ying'er's flushed face out of the corner of his eye, smiled, and then parted. Ying'er quickly took a few deep breaths before saying, "Is this 'fragrant'? But I can't breathe." Baoyu laughed, "You should breathe like this!" He then tapped her small nose with his finger. Ying'er blushed again: "Is this okay?" "Of course, let's try again!" Saying this, Baoyu once more took her lips. This time it was much deeper; it was clear she was also trying to learn, and Baoyu could directly feel her progress. Their tongues intertwined for a while before they reluctantly separated, the thin strands of silk between their lips seemingly still telling the story of their recent intimacy. "Was it comfortable?" Baoyu asked with a smile. "Hmm, it's strange, but it was indeed very comfortable. How about you?" "I'm not so comfortable." Because Baoyu's member had already become erect again. Baoyu knew the reason; ever since that dream of Keqing, his desire seemed to have become very high, and even the slightest stimulation would elicit a strong reaction. And since then, he has been having sexual relations with others almost every day, sometimes several times a day. But last night it wasn't Xiren who served him, and when he was with Qingwen, his heart calmed down, somewhat like being with Lin Daiyu.
