Summary
"And here now is the problem. Maomao isn’t actually a very good liar."
(Spoilers up to the end of LN 12!)
In the bandit camp Maomao is questioned a little more incessantly on the topic of her supposed husband.
"The best lies, in her experience, are always the ones closest to the truth. The ones that weave the threads of fact and fiction into one, uniform fabric, indistinguishable.
There is only one person who has ever expressed real interest in her hand in marriage. Who has held her in his arms and kissed her. There can be no future for their relationship in truth, but just, says the little voice in the back of her head, imagine."In which Maomao has to improvise and talk some more about her "husband", Xiaohong grows stronger and is smarter than anyone gives her credit for, and Jinshi is only there by hearsay, until he finally has his Maomao back. Then he is, once again, so in love.
AU / Missing scenes of the bandit camp and what happens after.

Summary
This fanfic is basically a love letter to some of my favorite JinMao moments. I took inspiration from the scene in The Goonies when Chunk is being interrogated and spills all his secrets. It’s a Canon Compliant, Missing/Bonus Scene. I place this in the timeline of Light Novel 14 between the two main events of that book. If this were a TV episode, it would be a flashback sequence.
