Not sure whether it will end up in the final draft, but here's a bit from the backstory of the modern AU I posted Monday. It's a letter smol Jiang Cheng wrote to the advice columnist of the local newspaper.

 

My name is Jiang Cheng, and I am 8 years old. I am writing this letter because my parents promised that I could get a puppy, but my best friend is afraid of dogs. If I have a puppy, then I won’t be lonely until next summer when I can see my best friend again, but then maybe my best friend will be too afraid to visit us next summer. Can you please tell me what you think I should do?



(He ends up getting an older black lab, very mellow and gentle. He names her Cinderella and while Wei Ying doesn't entirely get over his fear of dogs, he agrees that Cinderella is okay.)
