Name: Nian Ge'er's Little Eatery
Author: I'm a Little Hungry

Synopsis

Nian Ge’er was the youngest in his family, and his favorite thing to do was experiment with food. Recently, his family had arranged a marriage for him.

His prospective spouse was a hunter from their village. Nian Ge’er’s family was delighted with the match, but he was a little worried. The man was good-looking and capable, but... but what, exactly? Nian Ge’er’s cheeks flushed as he pondered.

Pei Yuan first met Nian Ge’er when the boy was probably four or five. He was bundled up in thick clothes, plump and fair, like a little steamed bun, and he kept staring at Pei Yuan with his round eyes.

Nian Ge’er’s mother, Zhao, patted him and said this was his older brother. In a childish voice, Nian Ge’er said, “Big brother.”

For some reason, Pei Yuan stepped forward and pinched Nian Ge’er’s cheek. Maybe he wanted to see if it really was as soft and springy as a steamed bun.

Perhaps he hadn’t gauged his strength properly. When he let go, he had left a red mark on Nian Ge’er’s cheek and hurt him.

Nian Ge’er’s lips puckered, and his round eyes filled with tears. He looked terribly wronged.

As he grew older, Pei Yuan spent all his time learning to hunt from his grandfather, so he hardly saw Nian Ge’er.

The next time they met was when Wen Xuan pounced on a rabbit on the hillside. Even though they hadn’t seen each other in so long, Pei Yuan recognized Nian Ge’er at a glance. It seemed Nian Ge’er didn’t recognize him, though.

Nian Ge’er was still like a little steamed bun, just as he had been as a child, and he still liked staring at people with those round eyes.
