    Summary

    Sometimes, you wonder if it’s okay to delude yourself. To imagine a world in which you fall in love with Stanford Pines, who, although he is eclectic and a bit egocentric, is smart; is reliable. Who, at the end of the day, would show you that he loves you, that he cares for you.

    Unfortunately, your heart never thumped around Stanford. You never got tongue-tied or anxious around him, no – you fell for Stanley Pines. Who poured beer into his Pitt Cola when he thought the twins weren’t looking and thumbed through erotic magazines in his office; who gave you a job and a roof over your head when your ex-husband kicked you out, until you had saved up enough money to rent a place in the town center.

    Problem is, you're fifty, stuck in an odd stage in the middle of your life, and Stanley is pushing his late 60s – almost 70s. With the return of his twin brother, Stanford Pines, you’re put in an awkward position, as Mabel tries to play matchmaker, while you pine for the one man you’ve never been able to have.

    Summary

    CuoCuo releases the ear of the dog. He looks at Feng Xin, then at Mu Qing. The kid is quiet when he’s not screaming but deceptively observant apart from that. Score one: his father is trying to take his new toy away. Score two: his father is arguing with Mu Qing. Score three: something is going wrong.

    Score four: CuoCuo is a spitting image of his father. In the moment before disaster strikes, his face pinches, brows drawn together and eyes wide.

    Fuck.

    Mu Qing doesn’t hate his job. Mu Qing is good at it. Good with kids. Good with doing the bare minimum. Good at memorizing his manager’s credentials and never using them until Feng Xin and CuoCuo turn their fucking pinched puppy eyes on him in tandem and before he can think, he’s back to the sales system and clicking into the employee discount.

    -

    or, Mu Qing works at a children's toy store. Feng Xin can't afford to buy CuoCuo's birthday present full price. A fake marriage for employee discounts ensues.
