Chapter 831 - 731: Feast for the Eyes (2)

The person responsible for contacting the music restaurant to customize the medicinal diet had already explained Xia Anni’s situation in detail over the phone.

Xia Anni does eat, but she eats very little, alarmingly little.

It’s not the case of eating and then vomiting, she just doesn’t want to eat when she sees food, even when she’s very hungry, she doesn’t want to eat; but to absorb energy, she forces herself to eat.

Occasionally, she experiences symptoms of vomiting, and severely, she once had to go to the hospital for an enema due to severe constipation.

Of course, because the contact person happened to know Yao Shi, they explained in detail, although these overly personal matters were mentioned vaguely at the time.

However, Yao Shi, being smart, directly calculated Xia Anni’s current real condition after listening.

In fact, Yao Shi never had the luxury to hope that Fu Yu’s cooked medicinal diet would truly impress Xia Anni.

After all, even patients who couldn’t be cured by doctors hardly have the possibility of being cured by dietary adjustments.

And knowing this point, Yao Shi was still willing to take on this door-to-door service because he had other considerations.

Who is Yao Shi?

He is a businessman.

Business talks business.

If he could leverage this opportunity to connect with Xia Anni, it would be a very rare opportunity.

Also, this door-to-door service was just an attempt to try out the so-called medicinal diet.

As for whether it tastes good or whether Xia Anni could eat it, the person placing the order said they basically didn’t have any expectations.

It was simply Liu Yiming wanting to entertain Xia Anni and, not knowing what to serve, thought of customized medicinal diet.

After all, it’s a gesture of goodwill, and it’s considered unique.

No need to worry about the taste of the medicinal diet or whether Xia Anni could eat it.

This door-to-door service order, anyway you look at it, is a pretty good opportunity.

The most important point is that Yao Shi has high regard for Fu Yu’s culinary skills in medicinal diets.

Yao Shi agreed on the spot without hesitation.

...

The place Liu Yiming chose to entertain Xia Anni was at his own home.

Fu Yu followed Yao Shi and when they arrived, someone was already waiting early at the gate to welcome them.

Since coming to Bei’an, the most luxurious residence Fu Yu had seen was when earlier providing service at Qin Yue’s house.

Qin Yue’s house was large and the decoration was very luxurious, everywhere conveyed a sense of glitter and opulence.

But when Fu Yu walked into Liu Yiming’s house, he understood what riches meant.

The interior of the house was simple, yet spacious and bright, a typical standalone villa, with high ceilings.

Apart from the indoor relaxation area, Liu Yiming’s house surprisingly had a private swimming pool, a small vegetable garden, and reportedly a small orchard on the nearby small slope.

Now it was a bit late, and these views were glimpsed through the floor-to-ceiling windows as they walked by.

Fu Yu examined the house’s interior layout, secretly amazed.

Some said live-stream selling makes money, now he’s seen it for himself.

Although Bei’an is a small city, the houses are no match for provincial capitals, yet for ordinary people to buy a house of their own, it’s something legitimate requiring a struggle of ten to twenty years.

This high-end villa here, just how much does it cost?

Really can’t even imagine!

If in this lifetime, one could have the chance to live in such a house, it would feel like not living in vain!

Fu Yu was quite familiar with Liu Yiming; although he never had the chance to meet in person, Fu Yu had meticulously watched Liu Yiming’s last barbecue takeaway review.

In the video, Liu Yiming looked like a handsome man, but upon meeting, he realized he was taller and leaner than seen through the lens.

However, Liu Yiming had a great temperament, and his manner was friendly.

But when Fu Yu just met Xia Anni, his heart skipped a beat!

If Liu Yiming’s physique was considered lean, then Xia Anni was downright bony.

Liu Yiming’s house had excellent heating, so Xia Anni wore just a thin V-neck T-shirt and loose casual pants.

The protruded collarbone was visible from the neckline, and her exposed arm was alarmingly thin.

Even with makeup on her face, up close, you could see she wasn’t looking well.

Her movements exuded a sense of listlessness.

The entire person emanated an unmistakable sense of illness.

On the way over, Fu Yu had already got a general understanding of Xia Anni’s condition.

Just...

Seeing Xia Anni in person made Fu Yu genuinely uneasy.

The situation seemed more serious than imagined.

Fu Yu had previously taken time to look through the system reward of recipes favored by anorexic customers.

Regarding the causes, it was clearly recorded that societal pressure severely affects individual perspectives and behavior.

Situations like Xia Anni’s definitely fall into this category, sufferers due to societal and cultural factors.

In today’s society, being slim is seen as a symbol of capability, elegance, and attractiveness, leading low body weight to be favored.

This leads to maintaining a figure by abstaining from meals, eventually developing into anorexia.

Xia Anni, being in the entertainment industry, must have very high standards for herself, and the pressure must be particularly intense.

Xia Anni and her agent stood together; when she saw Fu Yu and Yao Shi, her gaze first swept across their faces, paused slightly on Fu Yu, then returned to Yao Shi.

Liu Yiming had already come forward, with the contact person known by both sides assisting in introductions.

When hearing Fu Yu was the medicinal diet chef invited for today, everyone present’s expressions immediately changed.

So young?!

Even looking so youthful, at most, he seemed like he was in his twenties.

Though age doesn’t determine ambition, this was still quite unexpected.

Yet, this young Chef Fu was quite handsome.

Xia Anni’s gaze lingered briefly on Fu Yu’s face, oddly gaining some confidence.

Looking this handsome, surely the medicinal diet would taste great, right?

What’s that term again... feast for the eyes?

The thought flashed by, quickly overshadowed by an indescribable discomfort in her stomach.

She now only had to think of eating, and nausea worsened.

Liu Yiming, as the host, warmly invited the guests into the living room.

Fu Yu was arranged to sit next to Xia Anni, convenient for their conversation.

Closer up, Fu Yu increasingly felt that Xia Anni was thin to the point of deformity.

In fact, when Xia Anni stood up, she appeared tall and slender, but sitting on the sofa, she suddenly seemed much smaller.

Fu Yu estimated, Xia Anni weighed at most just over seventy pounds, but her height seemed about 1.7 meters.

This height matched with such weight; it’s no longer frail but pathologically weak.

Xia Anni’s agent was quite attentive to her, and upon hearing Fu Yu was a medicinal diet chef, proactively introduced Xia Anni’s physical condition to him.

Due to other people being present, the agent spoke somewhat subtly, but the specific situation was something Fu Yu had pretty much comprehended.

But unexpectedly, the agent mentioned Xia Anni had just seen a psychologist last week, and took out the examination results, letting Fu Yu glance at the content above.

After Fu Yu read them, his brow furrows deepened.

Things were not optimistic!

Upon seeing Fu Yu’s expression, Xia Anni’s agent’s face instantly changed.

Liu Yiming couldn’t help but ask: "Chef Fu, how is it?"

Fu Yu looked at Xia Anni, thought for a moment, and said, "Things are a bit unusual; just like the doctor said, Miss Xia’s symptoms are indeed quite serious, now already reaching the stage where she wants to vomit upon eating, and her overall physical condition is poor."

"I need first to understand Miss Xia’s usual dining preferences."

"However, under the current situation, hospital treatment effects might be relatively minor, after all, long-term inability to eat normally will definitely lead to big issues."
