A little more deliciousness makes for a little happiness.
.
Food blogger Lin Chichi once dreamed of eating her way around the world. Then she spent half a year eating at Qin Huan's restaurant without ever managing to leave. Now her dream is to try every dish on Qin Huan's menu.
Lin Chichi posted a question online: "I love eating food made by someone who won't cook on cloudy days or rainy days, when they're in a good mood or when they're in a bad mood. How do I get them to stop slacking off and cook for me all the time?"
Top-voted answer: "Eat the cook, too."

Food court owner Qin Huan inherited a family business, but never lost sight of his original intentions. He opens for four days at random each month to give back to the community, then spends the other twenty-odd days coming up with creative excuses to take time off.
Somehow, this one-of-a-kind man has attracted a lively little bee who diligently waits outside his restaurant, come rain or shine.
After enjoying the food, Lin Chichi says, thoroughly satisfied, "That's so delicious, Boss Qin!"
Qin Huan replies calmly, "Likewise."
Lin Chichi is baffled. "How can that be? I'm a menace in the kitchen."
Qin Huan smiles. "You look delicious, too."

Coming soon: Publish a Book If You Know How to Love

Online romance guru Su Qiang's bravest moment in life was using the courage she got from drinking to stop Xue Ran, the campus heartthrob from the neighboring department whom she'd had a crush on for four years, during graduation season and tell him in front of everyone, "I like you!"
The most cowardly thing Su Qiang ever did was sober up right after her confession and, staring at the heartthrob's pristine, untouchably handsome face, stammer, "I mistook you for someone else..."
The next day, everyone went their separate ways. Su Qiang gave her classmates one last bit of gossip for their social media feeds, then fled her student days in a panic. Convinced her girlish heart was in pieces and she'd never find love, she posted her disastrous confession story on a forum as a cautionary tale for others. She decided to pull herself together and move on to a new crush. But she never expected Xue Ran to suddenly show up in her life again.
"Are you the one who confessed to me and then said you'd mistaken me for someone else?" Xue Ran asked.
Su Qiang turned pale. "I'm sorry! I was way out of line! Please don't arrest me!"
"It's you, then," Xue Ran said. "Be my girlfriend."
Su Qiang: "...What?"
.
After they got together, Su Qiang sheepishly came clean to Xue Ran.
"Actually, I didn't confess to the wrong person back then," she admitted. "I've had a crush on you all along."
"I know," Xue Ran said.
"Then do you know why I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend?" Xue Ran asked her.
Su Qiang: "Because I'm easy to work with?"
Xue Ran smiled. "For years, I kept guessing who the guy was in the stories you posted online about your secret crush."
.
A mutual crush, a sweet romance.
Su Qiang: I know how to love, so I'll write a book about it. I can win over my dream guy, and so can you!
