Side Stories: April First (2/2)

Jinshi inadvertently put the wooden box into his collar. If she were to see the contents, if the joke were to get exposed, he didnt know what kind of reaction she would make.

Dont hide it. Please show me.

It seems, Maomao, who always frowned at immodest behaviour, didnt do that kind of thing this time. She leaned against Jinshi had been cornered to the wall, barred from escape, and slid her slender fingers down the fold of his clothes. Her cool fingers contacted his bare skin. The sight of her licking her lips was strangely alluring.

Jinshi, who had never been on the side of the receiver like this, was in chaos. Impulsively, he took out the wooden box he hid and flung it away.

A, aahn.

Maomao raised a somewhat sweet echo-ey voice. She stopped leaning against Jinshi and went for the wooden box.

His heart beating like an alarm, Jinshi, while also feeling half-wasteful for some reason, gave a sigh of relief.

What is this?

Maomao, who had opened the box in haste, asked Jinshi as she bent her brows.

.yeah, that is. the thing is.

Please speak clearly.

Maomao picked up the thing that was called the feather of a poisonous bird with her fingers. It was that in other words. She had found out.

I had intended to make a light joke.

I never expected you to eat it up to this point.

Maomao, who was taken back by surprise, gapped her mouth. She then gradually returned to her original complexion. The lips that had fascinating smile changed into an image of scorn.

Its been a long time. The gaze was like she was gazing at a blocked drain. He had felt lonely that it had decreased lately, but to be looked at in this kind of place

Maomao sat down with one leg up, not caring that her shins were showing. She started to hold the water pipe she had been maintaining some time ago in her mouth. She made exhausted eyes and sighed.

Didnt you not smoke?

I feel like smoking.

Jinshi, without fixing up his dishevelled collar, watched her. And then he belatedly realised that he did something he shouldnt have done.

He covered his face with both hands and turned his back to Maomao.

Have they finally done it?

In response to the madam who was puffing a pipe with a smirk, Gaoshun was looking at the pharmacy that has its door shut with a look of unease.

Up until a moment ago, there seemed to be a loud commotion inside the room. Well, if there were a man and a woman of tender years alone inside a cramped room, it wasnt that he didnt know what that loud sound denoted. The problem was, the partner.

Could it be that he was somehow forced his way? She was a woman that knew about the difference in social position, but the impossible could also be there.

Supposedly, in that case, it would be the man was using force who would be in danger. The possibility of being served a dose of medicine was entirely existent. No, itll be fine if it was medicine, if it were to be poison.

Restlessly, Gaoshun paced about at the front of the closed door.

He wanted to quickly break inside, but if they were in the middle of what the madam was saying, Gaoshuns master would probably resent him for life.

Apart from the discord that was unfolding in Gaoshuns mind, the loud noise subsided.

Oh my, theyre quite fast. How youthful.

The hag said vulgarly.

Gaoshuns own heart was pounding past its limit, he couldnt endure anymore. In order to know the well-being of his master, he decide to behave quite tackily.

Taking care not to be noticed, he secretly slid the door of the pharmacy, and peered inside.

When he did so.

Maomao was cross-legged, smoking a water pipe, sulking.

Jinshi was behind her, hands covering his face, his collar dishevelled. It also looked like he could be crying. It was as if he was a girl who got his virginity stolen.

The two were like that.

As Gaoshuns mind was in turmoil, he took a deep breath, and returned to his seat as if nothing happened.

He had no idea what happened, but it would be kind to pretend as if he knew nothing the experienced attendant knew very well.
