A short story of 20,000 characters about the hazy feelings between two young men.
*
My master always says I’m not cut out to be an assassin.
Yu Jing never took it seriously, until she went on her first mission and kidnapped a wealthy young man, bringing him back to the mountain.
Her master had been right, because she’d actually kidnapped the wrong person!
But...
Yu Jing grinned. The boy she’d taken by mistake was worth even more.
A month of keeping him tied up would earn her a full three thousand taels!
The unfortunate young man Lu Tongfu, kidnapped and brought up the mountain: ??? So what, you’re feeding me steamed buns dipped in pickled vegetables for three thousand taels?!
Yu Jing: (munch munch) But it’s so good!
Lu Tongfu: ...I thought I’d been kidnapped by bandits, but it turns out they’re too poor to afford a proper meal.
Yu Jing (sighing): Want to eat meat? Then we’ll have to go hunting together.
Theme: A heartwarming little winter story
