Synopsis:
[Calculating “Green Tea” Sweetheart x Cynical-on-the-Surface, Gentle-at-Heart Older Woman]
Liao Xinyan thinks something is off about Gu Yuanxin, the new product designer in her department.
Not only did Gu Yuanxin leave a major tech company for this tiny firm, she also goes out of her way to please everyone in the department, including coworkers Liao Xinyan has always hated.
She must be a green tea who loves being surrounded by admirers. That is Liao Xinyan’s first impression of Gu Yuanxin.
She chooses to keep her distance from girls like that, but everyone thinks they’ll make good friends, and even the manager asks her to mentor Gu Yuanxin.
Liao Xinyan wants to say, “Who wants to be friends with this green tea?”
But as they spend time together, Liao Xinyan realizes that this green tea isn’t so annoying after all. She may smile at everyone, but her principles are solid.
Especially when she gets into an argument with someone else, Gu Yuanxin actually takes her side!
Liao Xinyan has a change of heart and thinks, Fine, I’ll do you the favor of being your friend.
Gradually, Liao Xinyan realizes there’s something off about this friend of hers. Gu Yuanxin keeps finding excuses to touch her, and not just kisses and hugs. Sometimes she even gives her little pecks on the lips.
It’s very suspicious, twelve out of ten suspicious. What kind of friends kiss on the lips?!
Liao Xinyan is horrified and tries to avoid Gu Yuanxin, but when Gu Yuanxin catches her, she drags her home.
As she watches Gu Yuanxin push her onto the bed, Liao Xinyan’s mind goes blank, and she says something she’ll deeply regret:
“I-I don’t know what to do...”
Gu Yuanxin smiles. “I know what to do, and that’s enough.”
“But your nails are really long.”
“They’re press-ons. I can take them off, so don’t worry.”
Watching Gu Yuanxin slowly remove her fake nails, Liao Xinyan feels like she’s doomed.
Not only has she become friends with this sweet green tea coworker, she’s also been thoroughly devoured. Liao Xinyan slips into a state of post-orgasmic clarity.
“Why do you like me? I wasn’t exactly nice to you at first, was I?” Once she’s calmed down, Liao Xinyan asks what’s been bothering her.
“Actually, I’ve known you for a long time. But it seems you’ve forgotten me.”
Hearing Gu Yuanxin’s answer, Liao Xinyan finally understands that all of this was long in the making, and perhaps fate.
