Honey-Pickled Green Plums

[Just practicing my writing, don’t open]

Shen Nan has been a well-behaved girl since childhood, always following the rules. But she has a childhood friend who is carefree and flamboyant.

She and Chen Bei lived in the same neighborhood and attended the same elementary, middle, and high schools. Then Chen Bei went abroad for college, and Shen Nan never saw him again.

When they meet again, Chen Bei has become Shen Nan’s direct supervisor, and he uses work as an excuse to pester her every day.

Shen Nan: “Can you stop following me around?”

Chen Bei: “No.”

Eventually, Shen Nan says, “Stop chasing me. I’m right here.”

Chen Bei grins brightly. “Okay.”
