The Police Officer from Our Town

Fang Mianmian, an elementary school teacher, gets cheated on by her fiance, only to meet a warmhearted police officer.

Her awful ex-boyfriend keeps pestering her, but by then the leading man in Fang Mianmian's life has quietly changed.

At first

Fang Mianmian thought: Officer Zhou really is just like the children described him. Standing right in front of me, he seems a whole lot taller. No wonder the children gather around him like he's a celebrity, with that police uniform on.

Then

Zhou Yi thought: This girl looks so quiet and gentle. How does she keep running into unreliable men? And why does he, Zhou Yi, always happen to witness it whenever she does?

So

Zhou Yi: "Sometimes, the words 'uphold justice and protect the innocent' can weigh heavily on you. Being a police officer can mean facing a lot of helpless situations. Can you accept a man with this kind of job as your boyfriend?"

Fang Mianmian smiled. "I think... I can."

Sometimes

Fang Mianmian couldn't help complaining: "Why do you always get hurt when I see you? Why can't you ever make things easy for me?"

Zhou Yi smiled. "It's not all bad. Look at you. Little by little, you started worrying about me, and little by little..."

In the end

Well, Fang Mianmian only hopes to spend an ordinary, happy life with Zhou Yi, forever and ever, with no ending.

The next story is opening soon: A Tea Shop in the Clouds. Here's the blurb. Please give it a look.

After his daily hike up the mountain and a chance to admire the sunrise, Lu Jiaxiu sends the little girl at the tea shop her usual WeChat message: "Miss Lin, I'm here."

Lin Ran, meanwhile, races along at full speed, taking the cable car and then climbing the mountain path to get to work at the summit. She replies, "I'll be there soon!!!"

Taking the steps two at a time to reach the top, Lin Ran has already gotten used to brewing Lu Jiaxiu's usual oolong tea first. After all, this regular customer who shows up every day has become as ingrained in her mind as a clockwork alarm.

Lin Ran: "Honestly, why not just buy a bottle of oolong tea at the supermarket and bring it up the mountain? Is the tea at our shop really that good? Our stingy boss probably doesn't even buy decent tea leaves..."

But Lu Jiaxiu never tires of it. "Everyone has different tastes. And I like this flavor."

One day after that, Lin Ran asked, "Were you just talking to Chen Wenbo on the phone? What a coincidence, our boss is also called Chen Wenbo."

Lu Jiaxiu: "Yes. It's the same Chen Wenbo. We grew up together."

Lin Ran: "Huh?! Then please pretend you didn't hear me complain about the tea leaves before. Or call him a stingy boss..."

"Oh, but you were telling the truth." Lu Jiaxiu smiled. "Of course, I won't tell him."

After all, if he helps keep the girl's job safe, he can see her at the summit every day.

Oh, and by the way, the sunrise at the summit is famous far and wide. Legend has it that couples who watch the sunrise here together will find an eternal love as everlasting as the sun.
