**Baobao:** (noun) /ˈbā-bāō/
_A highly contagious, chronic condition transmitted exclusively through intense, long-term romantic relationships._
**Symptoms:**
- Gradual transformation into a big, round, cuddly shaped pork
bun.
- A peculiar tendency to lose interest in activities, or productivity.
- Urges to eat delectable
food, drink copious amounts of boba, and laze around like a
sloth.
- An acute aversion to the outdoors, replaced by a burning desire to cocoon indoors with your partner.
- Excessive cuddling, sleeping, and doing absolutely
nothing together—gloriously.
**Transmission:** Exclusively between lovers. Side effects include mutual clinginess and an uncanny resemblance to marshmallows.
**Prognosis:**
Once infected, there is no cure. Victims of Baobao slowly accept their transformation into this blissful,
sloth-like state for as long as the relationship lasts. Outcomes include
happiness, increased fluffiness, and unrivaled levels of cuteness.
**Warning:** Baobao may lead to the consumption of an alarming number of snack foods and gaming marathons. Consult your
heart to confirm diagnosis.
"As their Baobao-ing progressed, they became experts in the
art of doing absolutely
nothing but eating, napping, sipping
boba, and sleeping."
