Therefore, Xie You slowed his pace as he walked towards the entrance of the medicinal cuisine restaurant. When his subordinate noticed, he asked, "Your Highness, is something wrong?"
Xie You glanced at his subordinate, who was looking at him with a bewildered expression, and shook his head, saying, "Ah, nothing, let's go."
"Alright."
Seeing that there was no issue, the subordinate continued to lead Xie You forward. Within a few steps, they arrived at Wen Bai's mecha material shop.
Wen Bai was, as usual, lounging in his rocking chair. Upon seeing someone arrive, he didn't get up, merely saying casually, "Feel free to look around."
"Master Wen, hello. Crown Prince Xie You is here to see you."
The subordinate, seeing that Wen Bai hadn't given him or the Crown Prince even a glance, had to speak up to announce Xie You's arrival.
Upon hearing this, Wen Bai slowly stood up without any haste. Seeing that it was indeed Xie You, he politely inquired, "Your Highness? What brings you here? It's quite a bother for you to come personally."
Xie You smiled faintly, his tone laced with sarcasm, "I am quite the idle person these days. I've been paying attention to new mecha developments. They say they need to utilize one of your patents, so I thought I'd come and inquire about it."
Wen Bai didn't bother asking which patent. Once he understood Xie You's intention, he rubbed salt into the wound, asking, "I heard your perception is damaged? When will it recover? You won't be managing these trivial matters forever, will you!"
Xie You didn't reply. His subordinate quickly interjected, "The doctor said it can recover at any time!"
Wen Bai glanced at the subordinate who was so eagerly protecting Xie You, afraid he might have touched upon the Crown Prince's sensitive issue. He teased, "Why are you in such a hurry!"
Wen Bai didn't continue to probe Xie You's sore spot, but he thought to himself: The doctor's words meant even he couldn't fix it. What kind of nonsense was "at any time."
After his internal complaint, Wen Bai directly stated without asking about the patent, "Feel free to take the patent! Don't disturb my rest with such matters! I've just returned from the battlefield and need to recover my energy!"
Xie You's subordinate, Ge Xingchen, found Wen Bai's behavior quite exasperating. However, since their purpose for the visit had been achieved, he said to Wen Bai, "Then, Master Wen, shall we sign a contract for usage rights?"
After Wen Bai quickly signed the contract, he shooed them away, "Now that it's done, can you leave? I'm going to have dinner!"
Hearing this, Ge Xingchen looked at the time in disbelief. It was just past three in the afternoon...
"Master Wen, it's only a little past three, and you're having dinner already?"
Wen Bai looked at him as if he didn't understand the wonder of it all, telling Ge Xingchen, "If I go any later, there won't be any seats!"
Wen Bai was naturally referring to the medicinal cuisine restaurant. If he wanted to eat there, he had to compete for a spot. He had managed to secure a spot today, but the assigned dining time was just past three o'clock.
Wen Bai had already tidied himself up and was ready to leave. "Is there anything else?"
His unspoken meaning was, "I'm leaving now, so you should leave too."
Ge Xingchen truly hadn't expected Wen Bai to rush off the Crown Prince, but Xie You maintained his polite demeanor and aloofness towards everyone, saying, "Let's go."
"Yes."
Then, watching Wen Bai lock his shop, the three of them walked in the same direction. When Wen Bai reached the entrance of the medicinal cuisine restaurant, he said to them, "You two, take care, I'm going to eat!"
As he spoke, Wen Bai waved goodbye to them. He then entered the restaurant and greeted Meng Huai at the entrance.
"Hey girl, I'm here to eat!"
Looking at Wen Bai from the outside, Ge Xingchen said to Xie You, "This... he's more enthusiastic towards the people at this restaurant than towards you, Your Highness!"
Ge Xingchen was somewhat displeased with Wen Bai, thinking to himself: The Crown Prince has never received such treatment!
However, Xie You stood behind the restaurant door and felt a delicate fragrance wafting from within. The aroma was incredibly soothing, and it felt as though his currently unresponsive perception had stirred slightly.
But when Xie You tried to mobilize his perceptual power, there was no reaction at all. Xie You thought to himself: Could it be a hallucination?
Xie You shook his head, believing it must be a hallucination. How could something be so miraculous? Even the hospital couldn't do anything, so how could the scent of a restaurant cure it?
Afterward, the two of them left.
However, after Xie You returned, he couldn't stop thinking about the matter.
Even his father, Emperor Xie Yelin, noticing his constant daze, couldn't help but ask, "You'er, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing his father's words, Xie You snapped out of his reverie. He said to Xie Yelin, "Ah, it's nothing, Father Emperor."
After they discussed some matters, Xie Yelin left. Xie You watched the office door being casually closed and continued to ponder, "What was that shop called again? Medicinal Cuisine and Tea, right!"
Xie You searched online using his light terminal: "It really exists. It looks like a small shop."
To his surprise, people were actually discussing it online, so Xie You carefully read what the netizens were saying.
【Medicinal Cuisine and Tea】My dear friends, can we please be a little slower with our orders? There are only fifty spots online each day, and I really can't get one. Can you show some mercy? I also want to try that meal that can solve hair loss! My colleague, [image], look at his bald situation. See, his hair has grown back now! [image] I've become the bald king in our unit! Can I beg you all to 'show some mercy'? You might go hungry if you don't get any, but for me, it's a matter of a lifetime!
This post, due to the stark contrast in the images, caused Xie You's normally expressionless face to reveal a look of surprise upon seeing the pictures.
"Is this an advertisement?"
Xie You was suspicious, but upon reading the comments below, he knew it wasn't an advertisement.
Comment 2#:楼主, your problem is just baldness, which doesn't have a significant impact, it just doesn't look good! I'm different; I've had a persistent cough that I couldn't get rid of. The doctor said it's congenital, not an illness, so how could it be treated? But coughing every day isn't an option! Who knew, this medicinal cuisine solved it! So, I'm telling you, it's a lifesaver!
Comment 3#: Cough, cough, I'll tentatively raise my hand. Although my problem isn't as severe as yours, I just want to improve my complexion. It can't be helped; this Yan medicinal cuisine is more effective than any product! For women, beauty and radiance are everything!
Comment 10#: Reply to 4#: If you want to improve your complexion, just buy the tea! Don't snatch the spots!
Comment 22#: Reply to 10#: Cough, cough, actually, I'm just craving it, I just want to eat it!
The more Xie You read, the less he understood the connection between eating and these issues.
"Could it be that eating a meal can resolve these intractable diseases?"
Xie You had hit the nail on the head. He then thought, "If these problems can be solved, could my own perception issue also be resolved?"
With this thought, Xie You decided to visit that medicinal cuisine restaurant tomorrow.
