Tang Chen said that apart from eating a lot, he is not picky about food at all and is easy to feed: "Whatever, it's all fine!"
"Let me make you a bowl of noodles," Wang Yanzhou said as he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and took Tang Chen's clothes.
After Tang Chen took the clothes, he said, "If you want to eat noodles, you have to knead the dough fresh. Just make something convenient so you don't have to suffer."
Although this suggestion was good, Wang Yanzhou was a little troubled: "I can't do anything else."
Seeing that he was still in high spirits, Tang Chen reluctantly agreed: "Okay, let's eat noodles, with two eggs!"
As the two of them walked hand in hand in the moonlight down the corridor, the occasional laughs cast a layer of softness in the pale moonlight.
Wang Yanzhou saw that Tang Chen had finished eating, then turned around to clear the dishes. When he looked back, he saw that Tang Chen had fallen asleep on the table after eating. He went to bed late at night, and Tang Chen slept until noon the next day before getting up with sleepy eyes.
Tang Chen slumped down on the bed, looking at the scorching sun outside the window, folding his hands and thinking seriously: "This won't do. This really won't do. I don't think there are worms in my stomach. I'm eating so much but haven't gained any weight. I've been sleeping for so long lately. It's not healthy. I should let Chen Xin take a look."
...When Tang Chen saw Wang Yanzhou coming in with Shen Xin with a half-smile on his face and taking the initiative to help others carry their food utensils, he vaguely felt a hint of "deception".
Tang Chen noticed that after Chen Xin took her pulse, she looked at Wang Yanzhou with a complicated expression. If she was really sick, she wouldn't be afraid. If she was sick, she would treat it, right? But she couldn't hide it from her: "How is it? Am I sick?"
Chen Xin smiled slightly, indicating that she should be at ease, and then asked: "Judging from the pulse, you are in good health. Apart from eating and sleeping a lot recently, are there any other discomforts?"
Tang Chen shook his head: "No, I've been sleeping a lot recently, but I don't feel dizzy when I wake up, and I'm in good spirits."
As Chen Xin packed up his things, he explained, "I guess it's because I didn't eat or sleep well during those few days away, so I'm trying to make up for it now. I'll be back to normal in a couple of days. Just make sure you exercise more recently and you'll be fine."
After hearing what he said, Tang Chen touched his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was worried that there might be worms in my stomach."
Hearing that Tang Chen was fine, Wang Yanzhou seemed a little disappointed. After repeatedly confirming with Shen Xin, he sighed. This unusual behavior made Tang Chen very confused: "Why do you look so disappointed? Are you not happy that I'm in good health?"
Wang Yanzhou hurriedly explained: "No, it was just a mistake."
Tang Chen probably knew what he was disappointed about. His eyes twitched and he immediately changed the subject: "Come on, stop sighing... Wait, I suddenly have an idea!"
"What's wrong?"
Tang Chen didn't say anything, but hurriedly asked them to find paper and pen: "Paper, pen, pen, paper, pen, hurry up, the inspiration will be gone in a moment!"
Just now, a magical idea appeared in her mind. She felt that she might know what the clue given by the painting screen was.
After Tang Chen stopped writing, Wang Yanzhou and Shen Xin gathered around her and picked up what she had just written. It seemed that she had randomly combined the words on the note left by the painting screen. "How did you come up with a recipe?"
Tang Chen explained, "This thing was left behind by Hua Ping. She used pearls as a cover to get us to Wujiang and discovered that something had happened at Huayue Tower. I really like round things like pearls, so I wonder if she left a clue based on my preferences."
Chen Xin nodded slightly and said, "Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it does seem to make sense."
If one were to follow Tang Chen's line of thought, this menu must have a hidden secret. However, Wang Yanzhou still had a question: "But these dishes are all very common. Could it be that I'm going in the wrong direction? Or are you hungry again?"
Tang Chen rolled his eyes at Wang Yanzhou, snatched the menu back and handed it to Chen Xin: "You all come from wealthy families, you think it's common, but I don't think so. Come on, Chen Xin, give it to Zhong Qin and ask him to look for any restaurant that can serve these dishes at the same time."
Chen Xin glanced at Wang Yanzhou and, seeing that he had no objection, said, "The mission isn't difficult, but it's a bit complicated. It might take half a month before we get any news."
Tang Chen said, "Time is not a problem. Let's look for it. It's just another clue. Has the whereabouts of the escaped prisoner been found?"
Although the fugitive was a fugitive from the Ministry of Justice, Wang Yanzhou hadn't known many people in the court over the years, especially those rising stars promoted by Emperor Gan Zhao. It would still take some effort to get this information. "I've already made arrangements, but no news has come back yet."
Tang Chen roughly calculated on his fingers that even if he used Qingliang Valley's falcon to transmit news from the capital, it would take nearly a month to get there and back. If something unexpected happened in two distant places, it would be like distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. "Oh, all this time going back and forth is wasted. I miss the days of the internet."
After saying that, Tang Chen casually picked up another piece of mung bean cake and threw it into his mouth. Although Wang Yanzhou didn't care about Tang Chen's appearance, he knew that if she stayed still all day and only ate and slept, her body would eventually collapse. "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk and some exercise."
Wang Yanzhou was about to pull Tang Chen up from the stool when she preemptively pulled him to sit down, righteously saying that sleeping was actually very exhausting. Chen Xin couldn't stand it any longer and advised, "You're just too lazy. Xiao Shuang'er loves exercise more than you do. If you want to eat yourself into a weak little fat kid, just keep being lazy."
After saying that, Chen Xin picked up the medicine box and went back to play with his daughter. Tang Chen saw that Wang Yanzhou had been silent with a stern face. After coughing twice, he stood up instinctively and pulled him out. "Well, I suddenly remembered that I saw a good book the day before yesterday and I only read a small part of it."
Wang Yanzhou sighed and said, "...You, I'm allowing you to take it back and have a look. You're always thinking about going there, and sooner or later you'll be discovered."
Tang Chen patted his chest confidently and said, "It's not that easy. I'm very cautious. There's one more thing I wanted to ask you before. Should we do something to express our gratitude for Shangguan Bing'er's marriage?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded and said, "That's the way it should be. Besides, I guess you might have to go with us to send the bride off."
