Chapter 694
Since they were here for boating, the three girls did not rent a pedal boat, but instead rented a wooden boat that could accommodate Westerners. It would be more fun to row the boat themselves.
Wearing slightly dirty life jackets, Su Miao and Liang Manman sat side by side, each paddling a paddle, while Wei Siya sat in the front facing them.
The wooden boat swayed gently away from the shore, and the oars cut through the surface of the lake, creating ripples.
Su Miao held the rough wooden paddle, but his eyes could not move away from Wei Siya.
The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto Wei Siya, making her face look extremely pale and even her lips had lost their color.
"Siya, what did you have for breakfast?" Su Miao suddenly asked, and the paddle blades drew a deep whirlpool in the water.
Wei Siya was stunned for a moment, her fingers unconsciously twisting the straps of her life jacket: "Just... a cup of soy milk."
"A cup of soy milk?" Liang Manman stopped paddling, and the boat suddenly tilted to one side. "How can that be enough? I had two meat buns this morning!"
"Actually... I can't eat much now. My stomach is always bloated and my digestion is not very good. I don't eat much for breakfast and lunch, but I can eat a little more for dinner." Wei Siya's voice was as light as a feather.
Su Miao frowned and said, "Siya, have you seen a doctor? I think you're not feeling well. Did your college entrance exam last month affect you?"
Liang Manman and Wei Siya took the college entrance examination last month, but Su Miao has not asked about their results yet.
Wei Siya said, "No, not really. Manman and I both performed normally and exceeded the admission score of Xi'an University in previous years. We are now waiting for the admission letter.
My parents asked me to see a doctor before, but I thought it was probably caused by irregular diet and the pressure of preparing for the exam, so I didn’t go. ”
After rowing for a while, Wei Siya seemed a little exhausted, with sweat on her forehead.
Liang Manman asked with concern: "Siya, do you feel too hot? Let's go back."
Wei Siya shook her head, took out a candy from her pocket and ate it, then replied:
"Maybe it's a little bit of low blood sugar. My physical condition has also deteriorated since I lost weight. Sometimes I suddenly lose my strength and break out in sweats. The only good thing is that even in the middle of summer, I don't even feel that hot."
Su Miao suddenly remembered that Fatty Brother had taken irregular diet pills and was hospitalized.
"Siya, when you lost weight, did you just diet? Did you take any medicine or something?"
Wei Siya practiced waving her hands:
"No, no, I'm preparing for the college entrance exams, so how could I dare to take any medicine? It's definitely related to the stress. I always have no appetite, so I just took the opportunity to lose weight."
Liang Manman also nodded and said, "Back then, we all ate lunch in the cafeteria. Siya always said she couldn't eat any more and only ate a few mouthfuls each time. I don't know how you managed to survive with just those few mouthfuls of rice."
Wei Siya smiled and said, "I really don't have an appetite at noon, but when I go to Tiantian Lai in the evening, I feel very hungry.
My parents were very busy in the countryside during that time, so I went there every day to eat before going home."
"Fortunately, you like the food there, otherwise you would really starve to death."
Su Miao listened to their conversation and felt something was wrong:
"Siya, are you saying that you have no appetite for other things, but you can eat at that restaurant?"
"Yes, I like it very much. Now that my parents are not so busy and cook at home, I still crave his food and have to take some away from time to time."
Su Miao vaguely felt that Wei Siya's symptoms might be related to the "Tiantianlai" restaurant. After all, if she simply reduced her brunch and lunch intake and ate a full dinner, she wouldn't become pathological.
However, she couldn't say what the connection was. Even Wei Siya herself said that it was due to dieting and excessive stress.
So, she advised: "Siya, I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. If you are sick, you must be treated. If you are not sick, you can rest assured and recuperate.
You'll be going to college in a month, so you should have a fresh look and be in high spirits, right?"
Liang Manman also persuaded her, and Wei Siya could only nod and say:
"Okay, I understand. I'll go to the hospital for a checkup in the next few days. Thank you for your concern for me."
"What nonsense!" Liang Manman pretended to be angry and puffed up her cheeks. "We are friends!"
Su Miao suddenly pointed to a place not far away: "Look, a little duck!"
A group of furry little wild ducks swam past the boat in a line, with the mother duck leading the way.
Wei Siya leaned over to look and saw that the boat tilted slightly, which scared Liang Manman so much that she screamed, and then the three girls burst into laughter.
The sunshine, the lake, the laughter, and the warm care of friends finally relaxed Wei Siya's tense shoulders.
She took a deep breath, feeling the long-lost hunger.
"I suddenly feel a little hungry and want to drink some porridge." She said in a low voice.
Liang Manman and Su Miao looked at each other and smiled brightly at the same time.
"Let's go! I'll invite you to my house for food. There's porridge, rice, soup, and vegetables. You can eat anything!" Su Miao paddled hard and the boat changed direction.
"Yeah! Can we go to the city center and have a cup of milk tea? I love it!" Liang Manman cheered.
"Of course, no problem. I'll pay for all your purchases today, comrade!"
Wei Siya looked at her two friends full of energy and felt that a knot in her heart was slowly loosening.
The sunlight on the lake suddenly became warm, making her cold fingers feel warm.
That night, Su Miao felt something was not right and told his father about it.
Su Yuanzheng touched his chin and said, "I've heard about this in the catering department every day. It was a regular customer who told me.
It seems to be a new store that opened at the end of last year. It also serves lunch and dinner, and also makes braised food, but it does not have porridge or soup, and the dishes are relatively simple.
But I heard that the taste is good, and the business is getting more and more prosperous, and it has accumulated a group of repeat customers.
Before, I thought that doing business depends on one’s own ability. If the food they make is really delicious, then they should make money. Besides, since they are not in the same district as us, the impact of competition is relatively small.
Now that you mention it, I want to try it.”
Su Miao also nodded and suggested, "Dad, why don't we give it a try tomorrow? My classmate was on a diet before and felt like he was almost anorexic, but he has a crush on someone in his family. I always feel like there's something fishy going on."
"Okay, let's go check it out tomorrow. Maybe someone else really has superior cooking skills. You can't lie to us. If his cooking isn't delicious, no matter how fancy we try, we won't be able to attract so many repeat customers. Let's go and learn from him."
"I hope so..."
