Yu Yingtang comes from a family of culinary masters. She tends the copper wok over the century-old shop's stove, welcoming diners from all around with a smile.
After an accident takes Pei Xunian's sight, he uses a pen as his cane and keeps to himself, becoming a prisoner beyond the lamplight.
They are childhood friends who live next door to each other, and the earliest marks on each other's lives.
Ever since he fell into darkness, that bowl of sweet soup has never been absent.
She thinks that if she keeps bringing it for long enough, one day it will find its way into his heart.
He thinks it's just the affection of childhood and doesn't dare ask for more, afraid that if he breaks the spell, he won't even be able to keep this little bit of sunshine.
Until one night, ginger milk curd slips from his hands, and the porcelain bowl shatters on the floor.
She quietly cleans it up and brings him another bowl.
But he doesn't take it. His voice is distant, as though dust has settled over it. "Your pity is too sweet. It leaves a bitter taste."
Her breath catches. She suddenly grabs his hand and presses it against her heart.
"Is this pity?" She looks at him, her eyes red. "Or is it that I love you?"
Later, she'll lean close, the tip of her nose against his. "I'm not bringing you sweet soup. I'm offering you myself. Do you want me?"
He draws her into his arms without thinking, burying his face in the crook of her neck. "I've wanted you for a long time. I just never dared to say so."
She smiles, bites his ear, and murmurs in a clingy voice, "Silly. Next life, it'll be your turn to chase me."
He kisses her hair. "No need to wait until the next life. For the rest of this one, let me be the one who makes your life sweet."

Theme: Time makes the best decisions
I haven't finished reading it yet. It's well written and has a strong atmosphere of the city life. It's quite interesting to watch. However, the dialogue of this character is really not like Jiangnan Wunong's soft language. It has a northern accent, which is a bit dramatic 😂
Author, thank you for bringing this wonderful story. I finished reading the last chapter today. The protagonists in the parallel world will continue their lives, and we in the real world will slowly move forward in life. You use words to connect the two worlds and empathize. No matter how many regrets there are in real life, we can find the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature from the warm stories. I look forward to every story you write in the future. Willing to be a loyal reader😊
Two chapters were actually updated, surprise!
The author is so great, A Nian can finally see his beloved
Wow, Ah Nian's eyes actually have hope 😭
After reading the article, I saw that the author talked about the injured cactus, and I was angry. Evil people have their own destiny. People who are so cruel to flowers and plants are in vain [angry][angry][angry][angry][angry][angry][angry]
💪 Restart life in the daily routine of fireworks
It's great to be able to see the slow pace of life during the trip to Huizhou. Very nice
The rhythm of nature and human perception are so delicately described, and time flows quietly. So beautiful
