Waiters brought out exquisite dishes, each containing food meticulously arranged into various artistic shapes, delighting everyone's eyes.
It was undeniable that Hua Yin Xiang Restaurant, being favored by Jiang Mengmeng and numerous food enthusiasts, had its reasons.
Firstly, all the ingredients in the restaurant were air-freighted from all over the world, guaranteeing absolute freshness of the season.
Secondly, world-class master chefs used their hands to transform these fresh ingredients into a myriad of delectable dishes.
Coupled with Hua Yin Xiang Restaurant's ambiance and style, dining here was not merely about filling one's stomach like ordinary people, but a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
"Wait, everyone, don't start yet."
After all the dishes and drinks were served, just as everyone was about to begin, Jiang Mengmeng quickly raised her hand to stop them.
Then, she took out her phone and began taking pictures of the food on the table, clicking away. Finally, she asked everyone to huddle together for a group photo.
"Miss Jiang, can we eat now?"
"Oh, it's rare for me to have the chance to dine at Hua Yin Xiang Restaurant, of course, I have to take photos to remember it. Alright, now we can eat, eat."
As she spoke, she was already digging in, and Jiang Mengmeng's movements were faster than anyone else's.
As they ate, smiles of satisfaction appeared on everyone's faces.
After all, the ingredients were top-notch, and prepared by famous chefs, the taste was bound to be exceptional.
Initially, everyone was focused on eating. Halfway through, they started chatting.
"By the way, Du Fei, how did you and Shishi meet? You managed to win over the campus belle who was the crush of countless male classmates back then. Can you tell us about it?"
Qiao Yi had long been unable to suppress her curiosity, but since everyone was eating, she hadn't felt comfortable interrupting.
Now that she finally had an opportunity, her large eyes were filled with curiosity and gossip.
"Yes, yes, I want to know too. But don't worry, we're discreet. You don't have to tell us about any intimate details, just tell us what we can hear."
After finishing a bite of caviar, Jiang Mengmeng's eyes also lit up with a desire for gossip.
Liu Shishi initially felt a little shy when she heard Qiao Yi's words, but upon hearing Jiang Mengmeng's subsequent remark, her face immediately turned bright red.
She then pinched Jiang Mengmeng's arm, "What are you talking about, intimate details, what can and cannot be heard."
Jiang Mengmeng, however, dodged while laughing.
Since they were in a public place, Liu Shishi couldn't chase after her to continue the physical exchange, so she could only attack with her eyes.
However, Jiang Mengmeng was not afraid at all, and provocatively stuck out her cute little tongue at Liu Shishi.
Looking at Liu Shishi, Du Fei smiled and recounted how he met Liu Shishi.
"Du Fei, I never knew you were such a skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine?"
When they heard that Du Fei met Liu Shishi because he treated her grandfather, the few of them looked at Du Fei with surprise.
In the common perception, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners were either very old or had white hair. However, Du Fei was completely different from their expectations.
Moreover, although Du Fei didn't say it directly, Liu Shishi's grandfather must have seen many doctors for his illness.
When so many doctors were helpless with Liu Shishi's grandfather's condition, it was incredible that such a young man like Du Fei could cure him.
However, except for Liu Shishi, the other three harbored some doubts about Du Fei's words. Given Du Fei's age, even if he studied Western medicine, he would have at most just graduated from medical university, let alone traditional Chinese medicine.
Nevertheless, as they were all good friends of Liu Shishi, they naturally wouldn't voice their inner doubts to his face.
"By the way, Du Fei, I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I often have dreams. Do you know what the problem might be?"
Li Yutong suddenly asked.
The other two frowned slightly. Du Fei claimed to be skilled in medicine, but that was just talk. Li Yutong was actually taking him seriously?
Du Fei turned and observed her for a moment. "Your problem isn't serious. I'll write you a prescription later, and you can take some Chinese medicine for a week, and you'll be fine."
"You're prescribing medicine just by looking at me without any examination?"
Li Yutong had initially thought Du Fei would take her pulse or something, but he was talking about prescribing medicine after just a brief glance. This seemed too casual.
Logically, Du Fei, as Liu Shishi's boyfriend, wouldn't harm her, but this felt too perfunctory.
"Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes 'looking, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.' Your problem isn't serious, so I can gauge the situation with just a brief observation."
Seeing the distrust in Li Yutong's eyes, Du Fei continued, "This problem has been going on for over a month. Initially, your sleep was just shallow, then gradually you started feeling sore and weak after waking up, and in the past few days, you've even had a bitter taste in your mouth."
Liu Shishi was fully aware of how remarkable Du Fei's medical skills were, so she hadn't bothered to explain when the other three were skeptical.
Now, as Du Fei described Li Yutong's symptoms, Li Yutong's mouth fell open, and her face filled with shock. Then, she revealed a knowing smile.
As for Qiao Yi and Jiang Mengmeng, they pulled Li Yutong aside to ask if what Du Fei said was true.
Upon receiving Li Yutong's affirmative reply, they began to re-examine Du Fei before them.
"Du Fei, since you're so amazing, why don't you take a look at me too? I get canker sores in my mouth every now and then, and going to the hospital hasn't helped. Plus, I get pimples from time to time. It's driving me crazy!"
Jiang Mengmeng's eyes towards Du Fei were now different. She quickly pulled Du Fei, urging him to examine her.
Her problems were easily solved by Du Fei, completed in less than a minute.
Having Du Fei solve her long-standing issues of oral ulcers and acne, Jiang Mengmeng was even happier than she had been after the grand meal.
Seeing this, Qiao Yi also felt a bit tempted. However, she had been doubting Du Fei earlier, and it was a bit embarrassing for her to immediately ask for his help now due to the shift in her emotions.
"Qiao Yi, you've always had cold hands and feet, and you often have diarrhea in the morning, right? This is also a minor issue, easily resolved."
While Qiao Yi was still hesitating, Du Fei had already directly stated her problem.
Being able to know someone's illness just by looking at them was something that only happened in television dramas.
As Du Fei revealed their symptoms one by one and then provided treatment methods, Qiao Yi and the other two were completely convinced of Du Fei's medical expertise.
