Lime Tastes Sweet

Do you know what lime tastes like? Mu Ju knows! Mu Ju took her first bite of lime in the summer when she was seven years old. The sourness spreads from the tip of the tongue, like all the unspeakable thoughts in youth. At that time, she felt that youth was like a piece of endless lemon candy. It was sour and sweet in her mouth and she couldn't bear to swallow it. Later she grew up. She wrote those names into the game script, made them into stories, and gave them to virtual characters to love. She thought that youth was like this - like a lime that had been squeezed dry, leaving only the wrinkled skin, thrown into the trash can, and no one cared about it anymore. Until one afternoon, she opened an old classroom door. A young man stood on the podium and when he looked towards her, their eyes met. And in their eyes - each other. Secret love is never a one-person affair. Mu Ju and Jing Xu are each other's old days in school. The green lemon in Mu Ju's youth has finally matured. Jing Xu held a lime in his hand and smiled at her. At that moment she suddenly understood. The sourness of lime is never meant to make people frown. It reminds you that the alternation of sweet and sour is the taste of life. The words I dared not say when I was seven years old while biting a lime can now be told to others with a smile. Those who once thought they were separated have actually been waiting at the corner of time. As long as you look back, you can see him standing there. There is light on my shoulders and you are in my eyes. The journey of a lime, from sour to sweet, from astringent to sweet. So is youth. The same to you. Me too.
