Love Moon

Some feelings could neither be named nor explained. They piled up, little by little, in both their hearts, becoming mute, immovable stones neither could speak of nor cast aside.

In Chaoshan, Guangdong, Zhou Ya, owner of A'Ya Food Stall, had barely finished preparing his nightly batch of marinated seafood when he received another call from the police. This time, he was being asked to collect his "cousin" Fang Long, who had gotten herself injured in a spectacular brawl involving her ex-boyfriend and former best friend.

With a pounding headache, Zhou Ya could not help wondering: when was the family troublemaker he had taken under his wing ever going to grow up?

But Fang Long only looped her arms around his neck and smiled.

"What do you mean?" she teased. "I'm your 'ancestor', aren't I?"

As unspoken emotions deepen and old boundaries blur, what begins as exasperation soon becomes something far harder to ignore.
