A Slightly Wicked Smile

One smile brings a city to its knees, then conquers a nation. A second smile makes you feel all hot and bothered. A third smile is like a spicy hot pot. The more you look, the more wicked it seems. The city of Mop has been packed with lovesick men and women for ages. But not many people like Jiucaisi pretend to just be passing by, then scan all the guys with an intense gaze. After the old matchmaker cheated her out of her coins time and time again, leaving her with nothing to show for it, she suddenly swore she’d become the greatest beauty on the internet and sweep every handsome man on the vast plains off his feet. But that idea was quickly crushed by Zuo Xiaoniu and Lazi, because two big words were clearly carved into her spouse slot: Bente. Jiucaisi wailed in despair, “Why can’t I have an affair?” A man’s voice replied coolly, “As long as I’m here, you can forget about it.” I’ve been playing Cat’s Journey for a year and met a whole bunch of rotten men and women, so I got carried away and wrote some self-indulgent, silly fiction. Cliched melodrama is par for the course, and a complete lack of logic is perfectly normal. This isn’t a profound story, so anyone who prefers serious fiction should read with caution. A respectful bow. Theme:
