Then Dip Your Dumplings in More Vinegar

During their senior year of high school, the girl he loved was humiliated by her half-brother. Chu Chun went out in early spring to buy vinegar for the dumplings his family was making. By chance, he came across the scene and stood up for her. After he got home, he received a thank-you text from the girl he loved. They exchanged a few pleasantries, and she seemed to have something else to say, but in the end, all he replied was: "Um... make sure you dip your dumplings in plenty of vinegar." Years later, at a dinner party, people pressed Shen Chenzhou to explain how he'd won his girlfriend over. His girlfriend kindly came to his rescue: "Actually, I've had a crush on him for years too, so the feelings were mutual." Shen Chenzhou's brow twitched. Under the warm yellow lights, he lowered his head slightly with a smile. He couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted, and after a long pause, could only ask: "Are you thirsty?" Shen Chenzhou: I may not be good with words. When you show me your love, I always want to blurt out that I love you too. But I always have a thousand thoughts holding me back. After turning my feelings over and over, all I can do is try my hardest to treat you well, and hope you stay healthy in body and mind. Chu Chun: I traveled a very long way with my feelings for you. So far that if I didn't look at your photo, I couldn't remember what you looked like. I couldn't even tell if it was love or obsession. Then, when we met again, I wanted to say, long time no see. I... still like you very much. A secret crush, a school story and city romance, reunited after a breakup, healing.
