Gangdan scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Baoyu, I'm going to hide it from you. I often think so, but when I'm alone, I still can't help but miss her."

Wang Baoyu thought about it, but still didn't tell him about Honghong's affairs in the city. Gangdan was a straightforward person. If he knew about Honghong, he might have gone to Honghong with impulse. If he saw Honghong being beaten, he might have tried his best to find that Xiaojian. If something happened to happen, it would not be worth it.

Seeing Gangdan's infatuated look, Wang Baoyu couldn't bear to let him down completely, so he comforted him: "Gangdan, people depend on fate. As the saying goes, Feng Shui will take turns, and you and Honghong will be transferred together."

"Baoyu, you are a little god, I believe you." After hearing Wang Baoyu say this, Gangdan's face showed hope for the future again.

"Well! Hurry up and do it now!" Wang Baoyu said, but sighed in his heart, sighing that there was a tragic love between Gangdan and Honghong. Now he hopes that the two of them will finally get married.

"I heard from my parents that Meifeng has come here, why didn't she come here?" Wang Baoyu didn't say anything about seeing Meifeng at home, and pretended not to know about Gangdan.

"She is lying! Guests are coming from home, she is with her!" Gangdan said without any concealment.

"Why don't you say anything? Let's treat them well!" Wang Baoyu said with a little complaint.

"Hehe! He is not an important guest, he is a distant aunt who lives in Yunji Village next to him." Gangdan said with a chuckle, "After my parents died, these relatives have never been there once. Isn't it because my family is poor and I'm afraid of getting involved with them? I don't know where I heard that our life is better and I'm here to catch up with relatives again. I'm straightforward and don't want to pay attention to her."

Oh! Wang Baoyu responded, knowing who Meifeng was receiving, and his doubts were relieved. He chatted with Gangdan for a few casually, checked the situation of the bacteria, and then went home to sleep with relaxed steps.

In the next few days, Wang Baoyu rejected the invitation from village cadres such as Ma Shunxi. Except for going to visit the grave of his father Wang Wangshan with his godfather, there was nothing else to do. He stayed at home and chatted with his godfather and godmother, and then read and sleep leisurely.

It is New Year's Eve, and the people in Dongfeng Village who remember Wang Baoyu's kindness still brought valuable food and specialties to their homes in their ways. Jia Zhengdao and Lin Zhaodi were very happy and accepted them one by one with gratitude, with pride on their faces.

On the night of 30, according to the usual practice, the whole family would sit together for dinner, and of course Gangdan and Meifeng also had to be present. Today, Qian Meifeng seemed to have dressed up deliberately, with some valuable cosmetics on her face and beautiful clothes on her face. She suddenly looked more delicious than the girls in the city.

Wang Baoyu looked happy, but felt a little ashamed. After going to the city, he didn't even think about bringing some decent clothes to Meifeng, but he spent a lot of money on Cheng Xueman, and he did a little too much.

Thinking of this, Wang Baoyu seemed particularly gentle to Qian Meifeng. He picked up food for Qian Meifeng from time to time, and Qian Meifeng was so happy that he ate them all. During the meal, Wang Baoyu also took the initiative to tell some hilarious jokes. For a moment, the dining table was filled with the warmth and happiness of the New Year.

It's the Chinese New Year, drinking is indispensable. Jia Zhengdao and Gangdan kept clinking glasses and drank a lot, but Wang Baoyu didn't drink a few sips, mainly because Qian Meifeng blocked him and asked him to drink less. He said that drinking too much is not good for his health. Wang Baoyu felt that Meifeng still felt sorry for him, so he followed her wishes.

Qian Meifeng seemed particularly happy today, laughing constantly, picking up food for this person, and pouring wine for that person, and being very busy. However, Wang Baoyu felt that Qian Meifeng was a little abnormal, and always felt that there was a sad smell in her smile, and her eyes were always wet.

"Meifeng, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Wang Baoyu asked with concern.

Qian Meifeng spitted her tongue at Wang Baoyu and said, "I'm not a young lady, so I'm not so cute. It's just that you and Gangdan are so fierce that they keep crying in my eyes, and it hurts very much!"

"Hehe, I'll give you some good fun later." Wang Baoyu said with a smile. If it weren't for Cheng Xueman, living with Qian Meifeng would be very pure.

Qian Meifeng laughed, secretly kicked Wang Baoyu and said, "Wait, I'll give you a chance!"

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Qian Meifeng said she wanted to go back and offered to ask Wang Baoyu to send her. Of course, Wang Baoyu would not refuse. She has never been alone with Meifeng in the past few days since she came back, which made him feel a little empty.

The two of them were still walking slowly along the familiar river bank. A few firecrackers exploded or a few beautiful fireworks bloomed over the village from time to time.

"Baoyu, have you missed me these days?" Qian Meifeng asked with her arm holding Wang Baoyu and lowered her head.

"Why don't you think about it? Meifeng, you have lost weight recently, so you still have to eat more." Wang Baoyu said with concern.

"I used to be a little fat, but now I'm much better! Are you about to catch up with the beauty in the city?" Qian Meifeng glanced at Wang Baoyu and said with some meaning.

"Hehe! No one is as beautiful as me, Meifeng. I like you who are plump." Wang Baoyu said with a wicked smile, stretched out his hand to wrap around Qian Meifeng's waist, and Qian Meifeng also hugged Wang Baoyu's waist. The two looked very close.

As he walked, Qian Meifeng stopped, curled the smile on her face, and asked with a hint of grievance: "Baoyu, have you ever liked me? Even a little bit?"

Wang Baoyu was stunned. He didn't expect Qian Meifeng to ask this question. He thought about it and said with a dry smile: "Meifeng, why do you think so much? We have grown up in the same village since we were young, and everyone knows each other, right?"

At this time, the cold wind blew away a strand of black hair from Qian Meifeng's temples. Qian Meifeng's face looked a little pale under the night. She said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Baoyu, I know that I was wishful thinking from the beginning. When we are today, I am no longer worthy of you."

Looking at Qian Meifeng who was a little haggard, Wang Baoyu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He tidied up the strand of hair for Qian Meifeng and said sincerely: "Silly girl, if I don't have any feelings for you, why have I been with you for so long? I like you, and my parents like you too."

"I mean love, Baoyu, have you ever loved me?" Qian Meifeng asked, but her eyes had lost their spirit, and even her tone became very fragile. Her slightly thin body seemed very tired and almost fell down.
