A laid-back, aloof but warm-hearted young master x sunny, chatty Qin Ya
--Have you heard the story of bubur cha cha?
--There'll be bread, there'll be milk, and there'll be love, too.
1.
Qin Ya went to help out at Zhiyi Homestay every weekend.
Year after year, day after day, time passed gently, and life blossomed with warmth.
Before long, a young master from the big city moved into the homestay. His name was Chi Lie.
And so their story quietly began.
2.
One day, Grandma asked Qin Ya why Chi Lie was the only one who got his bubur cha cha for free.
Qin Ya's eyes curved into a smile, a blush spreading across his cheeks. "Talking money with him would be too crass. We only talk about feelings."
--The blue gum has met the koel, and loves nothing in the world but you.
From Rabindranath Tagore's Stray Birds.
--A small-town story, a slow and sweet little treat.
