Yes, I recently saw this article in "Reader" and found it from someone else's space.

I accidentally glanced at this article in the May issue of "Reader" and was moved by its story. DOVE means do you love me? I was deeply moved by this sentence. I also cried for this story, but such tragedies not only happened in the past, but are still happening now. Words like "do you love me" are not something that can be said simply. Before expressing your feelings to the other person, How timid and cowardly I am. These four short words may really cost more than a thousand pieces of gold. Sometimes they are on the tip of your tongue but you just can’t spit them out. Only you know that anxious and desperate mood, and no one else can do it for you. You can only be as anxious as a fever. The ants on the pot are spinning around, but they can't find an exit. All the doors have long been filled with walls made of names such as "cowardly" and "cowardly". How can they get out? As a result, one good marriage after another just missed it. The situation in the Proposal Battle does not happen often in real life, so I can't do anything. After all, I am not a fairy. I can only wish you the best. They finally get married~

In the spring of 1919, the Luxembourg royal family welcomed Princess Charlotte to inherit the throne, and at the same time she married Prince Felix, a descendant of the Bourbon family. As the royal chef, Leon was very busy. He had been cleaning dishes and dishes all day, and his hands had many cuts. When he was scrubbing the wounds with salt water, a girl came over and said to him: This way It must hurt a lot, right? This girl was Princess Bazaar who later influenced Leon's life. ?

This is how two young people met. Leon, who has never been loved by anyone, meets the kind-hearted Bazaar. Because Bazaar is only a distant relative of Prince Felix, her status in the royal family is very low, and it is not her turn to taste the rare delicacy - ice cream. So Leon sneaked into the kitchen every night to make ice cream for Bazaar. The two of them always tasted the ice cream while talking about the past. Bazaar also taught Leon English. The sweetness of first love lingered in the hearts of the two young people. However, in that conservative era where superiority and inferiority were clearly defined, due to their special status and situation, none of them expressed their love, but silently buried this feeling in their hearts. ?

At the beginning of the 20th century, in order to strengthen Luxembourg’s position in Europe, Luxembourg and Belgium entered into an alliance. In order to consolidate the relationship between the two countries, royal marriage became the best way, and the selected People are Bazaar princesses. For several days, Leon couldn't see Bazaar, and he was very anxious. Finally, a month later, Basha appeared at the dinner table. However, she had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard. When Leon was preparing dessert, he wrote a few English letters "DOVE", which is the English abbreviation of "DO YOU LOVE ME", on Bazaar's ice cream with hot chocolate. He believed that Basha could guess his thoughts, but Basha was in a daze for a long time until the hot chocolate melted. ?

A few days later, Basha got married. A year later, unable to bear the torture of lovesickness, Leon left the royal family's kitchen and quietly came to a high-end restaurant in the United States with the pain in his heart. The boss here appreciated him very much and promised his daughter to me, Leon. ?

The passage of time, family peace, stable career, and the birth of his son failed to heal the trauma deep in Leon's heart. His thoughts did not escape his wife's eyes. She burst into anger and left sadly. ?

Leon has been single with his son and running his candy shop since then. One year in 1946, Leon saw his son chasing an ice cream truck, and the door of his memory was suddenly opened. Since Bazaar left, Leon has never made ice cream again. This time Leon decided to continue the research he had not completed for Bazaar in the past. ?

After several months of careful development, an ice cream rich in cream and wrapped in mellow chocolate was released, and was engraved with four letters. The son innocently asked Leon what "DOVE" meant. Leon said softly: This is the name of the ice cream. ?

Dove’s ice cream was well received as soon as it was launched. At this time, Leon received a letter from Luxembourg. The letter was written to him by a partner who also worked in the royal kitchen. In the letter, Leon learned that Princess Bazaar had sent people back to the country to inquire about him. , hoping that he could visit her, but learned that he had gone to the United States. Due to the impact of World War II, when this letter arrived in Leon's hands, it was already a full year and three days late. ?

After all the hardships, Leon finally got Bazaar. Basha and Leon were both old at this time. Bazaar lay weakly on the bed, and her eyes that were once clear and rippling became gray. Leon threw himself beside her bed, tears falling uncontrollably on the back of her pale hands. Basha reached out her hand and gently stroked Leon's hair, calling Leon's name in a voice that was almost too weak to be heard. ?

Bazaar recalled that she was in Luxembourg at that time. She loved Leon very much and once refused to marry through a hunger strike. She was detained for a month. She knew that she could never escape the fate of marriage, let alone Leon. He never said he loved her, nor did he make any promises. In that era, a woman had to pay a heavy price for breaking up with the entire family.

In the end, she could only compromise with her fate, but on the condition that she hoped to go back to the Royal Palace for afternoon tea before leaving Luxembourg, because she wanted to say her final farewell to Leon there. She ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her but didn't see the melted letters. ?

Hearing this, Leon burst into tears, and the past misunderstanding finally had an answer. But everything came too late. Three days later, Basha passed away. Leon heard from the servant that since Bazaar married, he had been depressed all day long, which led to illness. After learning that he had left Luxembourg and got married in the United States, he fell ill. ?

Leon was infinitely sad. If the hot chocolate on the ice cream had not melted, and if Bazaar understood his feelings, then she would definitely change her mind and elope with him. If the chocolate was fixed, the words would never melt and he wouldn't lose his last chance. Leon decided to create a solid chocolate that would last longer. ?

After painstaking research, the mellow and unique Dove chocolate was finally made. Each piece of chocolate was firmly engraved with "DOVE". Leon used this to commemorate the missed moment between him and Bazaar. Love, although it is bitter but sweet, sad and touching, just like the taste of Dove. ?

Today, Dove chocolate has dozens of flavors, and every kind of love can be interpreted and entrusted in this chocolate kingdom. More and more people around the world are falling in love with Dove, which was born out of love and evolved from ice cream. When lovers send Dove, it means sending the soft question of love: DO YOU LOVE ME? That is also the founder's reminder to lovers in the world that if you love him (her), please let the loved one know it in time, and remember to love deeply and never give up.
