Twelve Bowls of Sweet Douhua

share time: 2025-12-08 06:01:55

Lin Xiaoman, an ad planner who always works overtime until midnight, receives an anonymous bowl of sweet douhua at 12 a.m. for twelve consecutive days—there’s always a small note at the bottom: "Today’s sweetness is just like the way you smiled at the stray cat yesterday." She assumes it’s from her crush, a colleague, until the twelfth day, when the old lady delivering the douhua breaks down and reveals the truth: this douhua is the last wish of her late grandson, Chen Mo. Three years ago, Xiaoman helped Chen Mo, who was in a car accident on a rainy night. He remembered Xiaoman saying, "You need twelve bowls of sweet douhua to save up enough happiness," so he secretly learned her overtime schedule and prepared twelve bowls with different sweetness levels. Unfortunately, he passed away the night before he was supposed to send the first one. When Xiaoman opens Chen Mo’s diary, she realizes he’s the "headphone guy" on the subway who always shielded her from the crowd—someone whose back she once secretly photographed. In the twelfth bowl of douhua, there’s a note Chen Mo wrote a hundred times: "I used twelve times of courage to trade for one thing—you remembering me."
