Chīcù means to be jealous, usually in a romantic sense. Literally it is eating vinegar, the sour taste standing in for the sting of watching someone you like give attention to another person. It is an everyday word, used lightly between friends and couples as often as seriously. Fans use it to tease a character who sulks over a love rival. Viewers of Where the Mask Ends applied it to Lu Zhuo, praising how even his sulking over his wife had vinegar in it.
