For SHL, the motto of 四季山庄: 四季花不断，九州事尽知。
花不断 is so lovely 🌹 (I've lived in Japan for too long, my initial reaction to 九州 is "wait what is Kyushu doing there" lol).

(Also 爆米花, exploding rice flowers = popcorn!)
Definitely sounds nicer than "popcorn"! :D
Doesn't it? On reflection I think the 米 is probably short for 玉米, corn, instead of rice, but oh well.

你为什么不应该吃呢？ (Sorry, I know you've mentioned this before, but I can't remember ...)
没关系, I think I just complain about it a lot ;) 不是不能吃巧克力，但是因为有太多糖我想忍耐。 (No specific reason, but I will literally keep a chocolate bar on my desk and just nibble all day if I let myself, so it seems healthier all around to put a blanket ban on chocolate except for special occasions. 还好不吃任何甜的东西都，但是我不会那么忍耐...) 不好意思啊。

Hee!

No specific reason, but I will literally keep a chocolate bar on my desk and just nibble all day if I let myself

That is already 10,000% more restraint than I could ever muster - if I put a bar of chocolate on my desk I will just eat all of it right then ...

oh, that happens too. And then I'd get another one. 巧克力的魔力好可怕！
