The Dragon Maiden's Difficult Marriage

"Who is my dad?" For the thousandth... no, what number was it now? Hearing the question, Fang Xiaoai let her gaze wander and answered without much seriousness, "Well, that's a long story..." The little one cupped her face in both hands and held it still, his small face stern. "Then make it a short story." "Actually... I'm just like you..." Fang Xiaoai gave him a placating smile. The little one looked enlightened. "...So we're not mother and son, but brother and sister... Did our mom give birth to me in her old age?" "How am I old? I was only a little over a thousand when I gave birth to you, okay?" As for exactly how many years over, heh... Buddha says that's not to be discussed. "Then who is my dad?" "...Back in those days..." "Make it a short story." "You were too big, and I had a difficult labor." "Then did he get scared to death?" "Then, while I was hurting, I rammed my head into a stone wall..." "And that knocked me out?" "No, I passed out." "Then how did I get out? So I really was picked up somewhere?" The point is, she hit her head on a stone wall and can't remember a thing, okay? Notice: This story will be published behind a paywall starting Wednesday, June 28.
