In Pride and Prejudice, there are Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bentley. In A dream of Red Mansions, there are Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.

It is because they do not say such "nonsense" to each other, which becomes the basis of their friendship. Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and even Lin Daiyu, three of them could be Jia Baoyu's wife, but the first two people advised him to strive for his career, only Lin Daiyu indulged him every day.
