Correct spelling should be coincidence.

Maomao~! You're so cute~!

 

[Frangar]

Thanks a lot for the translation! Absolutely in love with this manga!

 

[welcome2atlantis]

So smart but so easily bribed.

 

[lexy]

So, been a while since I heard of bezoar's, outside of harry potter xD

 

[tanooki]

I still don't get why they use "Shao Mao" instead of Xiaomao (which is correct)

 

[Moth]

@tanooki cause they sound similar? 🙃

 

[ZdrytchX]

@tanooki chmm true, Phonetically it is the same. I guess if the translator knows the chinese phonetic system well they can change them like how many english translators convert stuff like arisu into alice. On the other hand iirc Chinese has like a 4 ways to pronounce the "Ch" sound so eh shrug. "Zh" for example, normally transcribed as such is usually pronounced like the french "j" in "jamais / je suis...." or soemwhere between the chinese "x" and the english "j" phonetic. But when I went to china (beijing) for a holiday, honestly "Zh" from something like 中国人 (Zhōng guó rén) ((a) Chinese (person)) sounds more like a combination between the "ch" and "j" so transcriptions may not always be correct.

If I were to use the english transcription and directly convert it to romaji, it would end up like "Jon guo ren" while it would be "chon guo ryen" if done by sound, which may then be re-translated into english transcription as "Chong guo ren" which is different.

Btw, im not chinese (i am though by blood, 4th generation down or smth), so dont take my shit talk for granted.

@SpacyRicochet and not how Maomao looks at Jinshi - unless he's offering cow gallstones.

 

[calikit]

Haha, poor Gao Shun, he has two troublesome kids to look after

 

[Ironclad]

Ah Chinese medicine and their love of exotic animal parts. I can't imagine what a gallstone could realistically be used for in medicine. Maybe a cholesterol or bilirubin stone could work as a nutritional supplement? A bezoar could also just be a lump of hair, fruit pits, or anything else the cow can't digest. It might just be really hard poop.

 

[nejinoniwa]

That is a cute maomao

 

[tblst]

Funny, when I read Bezoar I first think of Harry Potter.

 

[exxp]

So cute~

 

[Diamond-hime]

Can i adopt this cat already??

 

[sdarkpaladin]

@Tanooki

That's probably because it was in Japanese.

小 is xiao in Chinese, but they transliterated it as しゃお in Japanese which is Shao.

 

[mammaria]

oh my god WHAT A DELIGHTFUL CHAPTER??? jinshi being jealous af, then tempting maomao only to get seduced by her beaming expression... gao shun having to hold her back alkjsfdljksdflkj THIS WAS SO GOOD HAHA very cute!!! one of those precious chapters~

thank you very much for the update!!

 

[Glomoro]

@tblst There was an episode of House about one. This guy was doing medical trials to earn money because his paintings weren't steady income. He was double dipping on the medical trials, which you're not supposed to do. So while he was testing a super strong antacid, the other stuff ended up getting caught in a bezoar that was forming in his stomach. Once the acid returned to normal levels, it started wearing down the bezoar and random pills were coming out of it at random times, made him sick as shit with symptoms that never made much sense out of context, hence getting sent to House.

She's so honest with herself, it's great.
