Story:
After Jia Baoyu began attending school with Qin Zhong as his companion, he spent all his days with Qin Zhong.
Baoyu was already a person who disliked sticking to rules and conventions, and now he became even more at liberty to do as he pleased.
Jia Zheng, his father, simply assumed he was diligently studying and therefore didn't strictly supervise him.
Baoyu and Qin Zhong completely disregarded their generational seniority, treating each other like sworn brothers. Baoyu would sometimes even address Qin Zhong directly by his courtesy name, a practice Qin Zhong had become quite accustomed to.
