A Single Bamboo Shoot

No outline, no framework, just a random piece. Readers, have a look. Maybe I'll write a proper description if it turns out well. If it doesn't, it'll stay like this. I've written all these words, and it's only forty-six characters so far. Why does a work description have to be so long? I don't get it. Seventy characters now. Keep going. Oh, Xiaonian Xiao, **, that's ninety-one characters. Made it!

This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
