Know Chinese Sweet Nothings Better, Make Your Love Easier

Have you heard of the emerging and trendy internet slang from China called "土味情话 (tǔwèi qínghuà) "? It can be compared to "cheesy pick-up lines" in English. "土味 (tǔwèi)" usually means outdated or old-school, while "情话 (qínghuà)" refers to the sweet nothings shared between lovers. Thus it’s a funny way to flirt with your partner while expressing your affection as well. These lines can be sounded insincere and excessively sweet, they tend to flatter people or flirt with people too.
