Lu Chen has been drinking pork belly soup for three years.
His wife said that this was love and a good medicine that could cure his stomach problems.
So he drank it every day, even if his stomach was churning, even if he felt like a corpse floating on the water late at night.
Until he met Sumu.
She didn't persuade him to drink soup, she didn't find him an expert, she didn't tell him, "Your wife is good enough to you."
She just felt his beating pulse across the cold water and said, "The cause of your illness is in your heart."
She was the first person to see him and the one who took him out of the pot of soup called marriage.
However, when Lu Chen finally smashed the soup bowl and tried to grab this life-saving straw, she reminded him with a smile: "Don't fall in love with me, I'm just the one who led you into medicine."
Later, Lu Chen learned that she approached him because of another man.
A man who has also been drinking soup for several years, has a girlfriend who is "good for him", and wakes up at four in the morning.
It took him six years to understand what Su Mu meant when he said "sincerity and restraint are a double-edged sword."
