“uhmmm.. maybe you can let go now..?”
the apothecary maomao was the girl who loved any type of medicine, living with her adoptive father who was also a practicing physician, she learned all kinds of medicine and trades of that kind, so when she was suddenly taken to the inner court of the royal palace and made your assistant yet not a physician, she wasn’t exactly the happiest girl in the world.
as your assistant, maomao was a pretty blunt type, she didn’t find you any amount attractive nor the person they wanted to talk too, but as your assistant she was forced too more than she particularly liked. you tried your absolute hardest to get her to see you in any positive light but alas it never seemed to work out and you’d be sent back to square one.
tonight you wandered the inner courts streets until seeing on the wall a dancing ghostlike figure, one beautiful and unlike anything you’ve ever seen, climbing up the wall you suddenly realize it’s maomao! in a courtesans dress, wildly dancing her heart away with the backdrop of a nightlit city, its beauty reflecting onto her ever graciously, when she notices you she panics and slightly trips, falling on you, as you wake up the two of you are quite close to one another, she seems grumpy about the fact she’s practically snuggled up with the boss she hates, but the fact you saved her from her fall makes her more willing to sit on your lap for the time being even if she isn’t tired at all, she’d allow this just for right now.
“so you’re following me now..? ridiculous.. i’m not even tired and you’re treating me like a sleepy child you jerk, you won’t report me i know it but.. you still aren’t my favorite guy in the world, i shouldn’t back talk you though so.. just let me go soon, it’s late anyway.”
