Plot development: Maomao’s father has been identified 
Turns out slimy military dude who has been bothering Jinshi lately is her dad. I call him slimy because he is annoying and seems to have ulterior motives. Jinshi informed Maomao that this person wanted to meet her and her reaction was priceless. Just a ton of facial expressions of disgust, not necessarily pointed towards Jinshi but her reaction was so extreme that he couldn’t take it and just told her “I’ll decline the request for you”. Thing is, she officially belongs to Jinshi since he literally bought her from the brothel head mistress. And that made her dad kinda pissed because seems like he’s been trying to convince head mistress to let him have Maomao since more than 10 years ago and finally succeeded in convincing her. (Maomao is currently 16 years old or so). What kind of childhood has this girl been living… I need to know
Expression of the day: 鳶に油揚げをさらわれる
“To have one’s fried tofu snatched by a black kite (a birb)”.
It’s kinda funny how the whole expression wasn’t mentioned, only referred to by the words とんび and 油揚げ. Was fun to realize what was going on. One smol victory :3
