Chapter 28: Book Thief

He reallyin his previous life Often, he would fantasize about the scene in the Dream of a Red Chamber (Okay so… they used the entire title fro under a lit oil lamp with red sleeves Which ed it to the context since I take it it’s from the Dream of a Red Chamber ~MCM) and he would then insist on the co the incense within the room that was mixed with the bodily aroently across the face of the paper was truly an unusually soothing experience

However, he was afraid that he would invite unwanted attention if the news that he riting a book were to be spread From then on, he decided it would be best if he wrote them alone

Fan Xian has always felt that he needed to prepare early for life in the Capital, be it physically or mentally This was like the epic “Drea poems which could simply be recited aloud in a banquet It needed to be prepared beforehand

Although he did not understand why, he has always felt that his future would be closely tied to the fate of the Qin nation and that faraway Capital Perhaps it was due to his father, as a high ranking official in the Imperial Court; perhaps it was because of the yellow haired brat (They’re referring to Ruo Ruo ~MCM) Or perhaps it was because his mysterious mother whom he has never met, but have always been curious about

After soht, he picked up his brush and finished the part where Bao Yu and Qin Zhong did unspeakable things When the ink had dried, he slid the paper into an envelope It was now ready to be sent to Fan Ruo Ruo in the Capital

Fan Xian did not leave any pieces of his ithin the mansion in Danzhou The papers that ritten were all sent to the Capital It was difficult to restrain his(I’d place the word “desire” here, but the author -ed it because he wanted to make it an innuendo ~MCM) to share the experiences he had from his previous life with the people of this world It was like a person who hides the most beautiful jade piece in the world which no one has ever seen before under his bed for years Heto show it off to the entire world – no, perhaps he just wants to show it to one person – to let the beauty

A collector ns a fa all his life but never display it must either be a pervert or the person who stole this work

And Fan Xian kneas not a pervert (Heh heh heh what lies ~MCM) Although he did steal the work, interestingly, no one in this world knew this

That hy Fan Xian utterly overlooked the brat Fan Ruo Ruo’s age and would send her a chapter every month He would tell her that this story was called “The Story of the Stone” (alternative title of Dream of the Red Chamber ~MCM) which ritten by a person called Cao Xueqin whoot to know by chance Every month, he would draft out a few lines to share with his sister and so on……

Although in the first fifteen chapters or so of “Dream of the Red Chamber”, there were parts where Qin Ke Qin would hook up with Bao Yu and Bao Yu tryingfor the first time, Fan Xian

was assured that after all these years nurturing the brat with his letters, she would not de Brother as an immoral person

And unsurprisingly, after Fan Ruo Ruo received and first read the work, it was like she had just tasted peony (Not sure if this is good or bad, han to develop an appetite for it, especially the part after Dai Yu entered the Manor where it began to get exciting Every e him to squeeze more of it out of Mister Cao

Fan Xian would be troubled when he received the letter All the leftover draft were already depleted and the new drafts could not possibly be that fast Even if he could copy seventy to eighty drafts in the days to come, he would still end up like a Eunuch… (I’ to say May edit this later ~MCM)

After finishi+ng his daily plagiarizing, Fan Xian began reading his book like he always does The books of all subjects and topics that filled his study were all sent froht about this, his impression of the father he has never met would improve At least the man understands that, these were so up

In a country with not a single trace of pornography, apart froy within his body (This htly The actual texta cat-and-erous ~MCM) and disturbing the servant girls, the only way to ease the boredom was to read the scattered books in the study on miscellaneous topics
