In Wu Lang's midnight snacks, pine nut corn and creamy corn soup often appeared. Corn contains plenty of nutrients beneficial for liver health. Eating more of it can help prevent Wu Lang's eyesight from deteriorating due to late-night studying. Mr. Loo's favorite was creamy corn soup made with tender corn kernels, fresh peas, and mushrooms.
Lian Manman was also as fond of tender corn as Xiao Qi was. With this, she wasn't afraid of the discomforts of summer anymore.
Alright, even without tender corn, Lian Manman probably wouldn't have struggled through summer. The climate in this era was exceptionally good, or rather, incredibly livable. There was no air pollution, and the earth still breathed with its natural rhythm that supported human life. Even in the height of summer's sweltering heat, it was not so unbearable. And if people ever felt overly stifled, summer afternoons often brought an occasional rain shower that washed away the feeling of heat.
