Chapter 374 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 45

"Why is Langge out here alone without a servant?"

It was difficult for Liu Xianglian to describe his feelings at the moment. When he met other like-minded young men in the past, although he was willing to interact with them, no one could make him unable to help but get close to them like Jia Lang.

Jia Lang was somewhat uncomfortable with Liu Xianglian's familiarity. In order to hide his identity throughout his life, Jia Lang had basically not given anyone else the chance to get close to him except Aunt Li since he was born. Naturally, he didn't have any close friends or confidants who could take care of him personally.

After returning to the Jia Mansion, Jia Lang was busy studying. Because of the gender differences, he did not communicate much with his peers of the Jia Mansion. Liu Xianglian was the first person in his life to take the initiative to approach Jia Lang.

"I plan to go out to study. It's not good for my training to have someone with me, so..." It's not that Jia Lang is willing to endure hardship. Isn't it because it's more convenient to be alone? Anyway, Jia Lang thinks he can protect himself.

After hearing Jia Lang's explanation, Liu Xianglian felt distressed. He thought it must be because of Jia Lang's illegitimate status that no one followed her when she went out. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when he looked at Jia Lang's clear eyes, he was speechless.

Alas, why bother to expose Lang'er? Just let her think that being alone is more conducive to her study. But... Liu Xianglian's phoenix eyes glanced at Jia Lang obscurely. Lang'er is so beautiful and a scholar. It is really not safe for her to be alone outside.

Not as good as...

"Brother Lang, I am planning to travel abroad for three to five years. Why don't you come with me so that I can have someone to take care of me along the way?"

"No, no need. Master Liu, you don't have to do this. I don't want to disrupt Master Liu's plan." What's going on? Is this Liu Xianglian's character like this? Why does it feel like the person in front of me is a little different?

Jia Lang remembered that although Liu Xianglian played with Jia Baoyu, Qin Zhong and others, he was still straight. Not only did he get engaged to You Sanjie, but he also chose to become a monk because of a misunderstanding about You Sanjie.

Xue Pan once wanted to hook up with Liu Xianglian, but was tricked by Liu Xianglian and beaten up, so this guy shouldn't have any feelings for me...right?

Jia Lang thought with some uncertainty, but the emotions transmitted from his mental perception continued to refresh Jia Lang's cognition. Could it be that the pink emotions on Liu Xianglian's body were actually brotherly love?

Jia Lang tried to persuade Liu Xianglian but failed, so he had no choice but to agree to Liu Xianglian's company. After drinking tea, Jia Lang and Liu Xianglian left the city together and planned to go to Gusu.

Just after passing the official road, a group of thugs wearing scarves rushed out from the bushes on the side of the road and surrounded Jia Lang and Liu Xianglian.

Jia Lang raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He was not surprised at all and immediately guessed who did it. Liu Xianglian, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward to block Jia Lang and picked up the mandarin duck sword at his waist, "A good dog doesn't block the road!"

"You guys better get out of my way, or I'll kill you with my sword!"

The gangsters were outnumbered and naturally were not frightened by the sword in Liu Xianglian's hand. The leader of the gangsters took out a portrait from his chest, compared Liu Xianglian and Jia Lang, pointed at Jia Lang and said, "Brothers, the target is there, let's go!"

The gangsters attacked Jia Lang the entire time, skipping over Liu Xianglian. Jia Lang stepped forward and pulled out the mandarin duck sword from Liu Xianglian's hand. "Master Liu, these people are coming for me. You hide aside first. I'll borrow your sword!"

Jia Lang had been practicing for half a month after all, and had increased his strength to a certain extent. Combined with his focused dodging after strengthening his mental strength and the brief use of predictive skills, it was quite easy for him to deal with a few ordinary thugs.

When Jia Lang suddenly approached, Liu Xianglian only smelled a pleasant odor and saw Jia Lang had already drawn his sword and rushed out. Liu Xianglian wanted to help anxiously, but when he turned around, he saw Jia Lang waving his heirloom sword. Every move was like dancing, which made Liu Xianglian's heart pound.

After Jia Lang had chopped and subdued all the gangsters, he walked towards Liu Xianglian while wiping the blood off the sword. It was not until Jia Lang stood in front of Liu Xianglian that Liu Xianglian recovered from his trance.

Looking at Liu Xianglian's confused eyes looking at him, Jia Lang's face froze. What was going on? Why did this guy suddenly fall in love with him?

"Ahem, Master Liu, thank you for your sword."

Forget it, let him do whatever he wants. I know nothing about it anyway.

Liu Xianglian just didn't get married, it didn't mean he didn't understand love, he knew clearly that he was attracted to the young brother Lang in front of him, but this was not the right thing to do, Liu Xianglian couldn't say it clearly. Looking at the mandarin duck sword handed over by Jia Lang, Liu Xianglian's expression changed, not only did he not take it, he also took off the scabbard on his waist.

"Brother Lang, this mandarin duck sword can only be effective in your hands. In my hands, it is just a decoration. Please take it, brother Lang."

Liu Xianglian gave Jia Lang a sword as a gift, but Jia Lang wanted to refuse it. After all, Jia Lang knew that the sword would be used as a token of engagement between Liu Xianglian and You Sanjie in the future. However, Liu Xianglian insisted that if Jia Lang refused to accept it, he might as well throw it away.

Liu Xianglian was really happy to see Jia Lang finally put away his sword. The criminals had already escaped and Jia Lang had no intention of chasing them. Seeing that Jia Lang's face clearly showed that he knew something, Liu Xianglian did not ask any more questions.

In this way, Liu Xianglian accompanied Jia Lang to Gusu. When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Jia Lian was not there. Jia Lang guessed that he must have gone out to have fun, so he didn't ask much and went straight to Lin Ruhai's room as arranged by the officials of the Lin Mansion.

Liu Xianglian stayed in the reception area to wait for Jia Lang. When Jia Lang arrived at Lin Ruhai's yard, Lin Daiyu was guarding Lin Ruhai's bed just as she had guarded Jia Min's bed before.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jia Lang couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It seemed as if he had become an expert in seeing off the dead in the Lin family in this life. First, he saw off Jia Min a few years ago, and now it seems that he has to see off Lin Ruhai. To put it bluntly, maybe he will have to see off Lin Daiyu in a few years. He is really impressed.

"Ahem, is Langge here?"

Lin Ruhai's weak voice was heard. Seeing that her father was awake, Lin Daiyu immediately stepped forward to help him up and gave Lin Ruhai a glass of water.

"Father, it's Cousin Lang who's here."

"Brother Lang, come here." Jia Lang stepped forward and bowed solemnly to Lin Ruhai. "I pay my respects to Uncle Lin, and I pay my respects to my teacher. Thank you for your teachings over the years."

"Haha, teacher, ahem. What a nice title!" Lin Ruhai was really happy to hear Jia Lang calling him teacher. He had always been very optimistic about Jia Lang. Now he was very proud to know that Jia Lang had become a juren at such a young age. Such a great student was cultivated by him.

"Okay, okay, since you are willing to admit it, ahem, then I will shamelessly accept this from you, teacher."

It has to be said that Lin Ruhai has always had regrets in his heart. His regret is not that he has no son, but that he has no successor. Now that he hears Jia Lang recognize him as his teacher, it means that although he has no son, he has a student to inherit his legacy. Lin Ruhai's regrets seem to be wiped out by Jia Lang in an instant.
