General’s daughter x the Shen family’s illegitimate son
Rumor had it that the Second Miss of the Qin family was very close to that illegitimate son of the Shen family.
The passersby gossiped endlessly.
A year later, after returning from the battlefield, the Shen family’s young man became a general.
The passersby still gossiped endlessly.
Only now, instead of talking about how close the two of them used to be, they discussed how, at the city gate, Qin’s young lady wouldn’t even spare him a glance from a foot away.
If one night of drunkenness could turn your hair white, the world would have three thousand fewer sorrows.
If the world had three thousand fewer sorrows, how would it still have people who suffer for love?
One night...
Shen Xiaochen showed up at Qin Zhuohan’s place with a jug of wine. He had just climbed over the wall when he heard her say, "We’re closed for the day. Come back another time, Young General."
As she spoke, she headed inside.
Shen Xiaochen hurriedly stopped her. "Are you sure you want to kick me out?"
"Why not? Leave the wine and go?" She thought it over. "Sure."
"No, I brought you wine. At least let me stay and have a cup!"
A little while later, Qin Zhuohan brought out two cups and poured one for each of them.
She tipped her head back and drained hers in one go.
Then she stuck out her tongue. "Now you can leave, right?"
Shen Xiaochen held his cup. "..."
What a tough woman. She said one cup, and that was exactly what she drank!
I wrote this on a whim, with no outline or anything. As I kept writing, I even lost my brain, and then... then I dropped it!
