He Cenyu had just raised his hand, about to insert the straw into the lemonade and hand it to his elder sister He Yunqin, when he heard her second sentence of the day.
You know, since He Yunqin's divorce, she had been in a state of anxiety. Half a month later, she was directly diagnosed with depression. After that, she rarely spoke and even ignored her child. She was always in a low mood.
Ten days ago, He Cenyu couldn't bear to watch any longer. Without saying a word, he sent the child to their parents for them to take care of, with a nanny following, of course. Then he took his elder sister He Yunqin out for a relaxing trip.
He had consulted a doctor before. The doctor said that in addition to medical treatment for depression, the most important thing was the patient's own mood. It was best to change the environment they were used to and try to relax.
In order to provide He Yunqin with a different relaxing environment, He Cenyu took her on a self - driving tour.
They had already visited several cities. However, after these days, He Yunqin hadn't improved much and still remained silent.
How could He Cenyu not be anxious? But he couldn't show his anxiety in front of He Yunqin. He could only silently take her on the journey, hoping that there would be even the slightest improvement in the following days.
However, unexpectedly, when they passed by this place today, after He Yunqin smelled the Taoyu Cold Cake, she said her first sentence in these days.
She said she wanted to eat it.
Now, after eating the food from Sweet Delights, she said her second sentence of the day, "Delicious!"
It was impossible for He Cenyu not to be surprised.
He was extremely excited. Anyway, He Yunqin had started to talk. After they entered the private room, he also noticed that her face had relaxed and her mood didn't seem so tense.
This was a good sign!
Before long, Sheng Jing served all the dishes in the private room, filling the table.
The moment the covers were removed from the dishes, He Yunqin and He Cenyu were instantly attracted by the aroma.
He Cenyu really didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary Sweet Delights not only had a very stylish private - room decoration, but also the dishes smelled so good. Needless to say, the color was also very appealing. When he took his first bite, he was amazed.
It was really delicious.
When He Yunqin said the Taoyu Cold Cake was delicious just now, He Cenyu didn't really take it to heart. He just thought it was because He Yunqin had been eager to eat the food that she said it was delicious. Now he didn't dare to think so anymore. It should just be because the food was really delicious.
He Yunqin smelled the fragrant aroma from the dishes on the table, put down the Taoyu Cold Cake in her bowl, and then directly started to dig into today's dishes and rice.
During the meal, He Cenyu also noticed his elder sister He Yunqin. She didn't need others to help her pick up dishes or make recommendations. She just started eating on her own!
His heart was really in turmoil.
The He siblings spent nearly two and a half hours on this meal. Of the six dishes they ordered today, only two were left.
This really surprised He Cenyu. He had just ordered enough dishes so as not to owe the young boss a favor. But he didn't expect that the food in this out - of - the - way shop would bring them such a great surprise.
"I don't want to leave."
After the meal, He Yunqin said her third sentence of the day, and she could even look He Cenyu in the eye.
He Cenyu: "!!"
Only excitement could describe his feelings.
Regarding He Yunqin's first request since she got sick, He Cenyu naturally didn't object and directly nodded in agreement.
"Okay!"
Before long, He Cenyu called Sheng Jing and asked if there was a suitable place to stay here.
Hearing this, Sheng Jing very skillfully explained to He Cenyu that recently there had been many out - of - town diners coming to Sweet Delights. Moreover, there were quite a few people who wanted to stay for a few more meals after their first try. So, Sheng Jing and the others were very familiar with explaining the accommodation problem.
After hearing Sheng Jing's explanation, He Cenyu nodded.
The food shop itself didn't provide any accommodation. However, there was a village not far behind. One could stay at a villager's house. It was convenient and cheap.
If one really didn't like that option, they could go to a hotel or a guesthouse in the town or the city. It was just that the journey would be a bit troublesome.
He Cenyu wanted to take He Yunqin directly to a hotel in the city. It would be okay to come back later. Anyway, they were driving. It was just a bit of a distance, and other than that, it was quite convenient.
However, when He Cenyu mentioned going back to the city, He Yunqin seemed reluctant.
"No."
Although it was a very concise statement, the meaning was obvious. He Yunqin didn't want to go to a hotel in the city.
Of course, she also didn't agree to stay in a guesthouse in the town.
In the end, He Cenyu had no choice but to take He Yunqin to the village behind Sweet Delights to find a place to stay.
Only in this way could He Yunqin be calmed down.
Just like this, He Cenyu took He Yunqin and drove into the village behind. They were going to find a place to stay. Of course, the two remaining dishes from lunch were packed. After He Cenyu entered the villager's house, he directly gave the dishes to the family. The family was overjoyed.
"Wow, this is really good stuff. Thank you so much."
The villager was sincerely grateful. The villagers in the village had all eaten at Sweet Delights, but they didn't go there often because it wasn't cheap for them.
However, everyone knew how delicious the food made by the young boss of this Sweet Delights was!
When there were guests at home or during festivals, they would all go there to buy one or two dishes as extra food. It was healthy and delicious. It was really a rare good thing.
He Cenyu nodded with a smile. It was indeed good stuff, delicious good stuff.
In the evening, the He siblings came early for dinner. When they left in the afternoon, they had booked a private room for the evening and ordered the same amount of dishes. The main reason was that they wanted a complimentary Taoyu Cold Cake.
Sure enough, after He Yunqin saw the Taoyu Cold Cake, there was actually a faint smile on her face.
Although it disappeared quickly, He Cenyu still caught it. His heart was filled with comfort.
This Sweet Delights might be a good start for the change in his elder sister He Yunqin's condition.
In the evening, He Cenyu and He Yunqin left a little more food. Then they still packed it and took it back to the villager who provided accommodation. Seeing the He siblings bring back so much food again, the family felt a bit embarrassed.
"Okay, we'll waive your accommodation fee today!"
When He Cenyu wanted to pay the accommodation fee, the family refused to take it. How could they take so many good things from the siblings and still charge them?
They also noticed that the food the siblings brought back was untouched. They were very particular.
He Cenyu finally appreciated the villager's kindness. He felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
People should always be kind to each other.
He thought that before leaving, he could invite the family to a meal.
It was just a way to respond to the family's warm care for them.
