This book tells the story of two strangers sharing an apartment in Shanghai. Their relationship begins with a meal, and they become inseparable dining partners. An introverted and sensitive freelance writer meets a carefree and efficient college student neighbor. They take turns cooking and sharing their lives, their relationship slowly growing closer and repeatedly testing the waters with fried rice, hot pot, fried chicken, and braised pork with bamboo shoots. He tends to rationalize things, believing that "you'll get used to it"; she, however, prematurely rejects him as their feelings deepen: "We won't be together in the future." But the warmth of the food ultimately warms up the unspoken past—the trauma of their families of origin, the struggle of their people-pleasing personalities, and their neglected childhood. This is a story about food and love, but more importantly, it's a long vacation where two young people heal each other and learn to let go of their burdens.
