Chapter 288: Give Them a Little
Phaeton quickly arrived outside Ocean Restaurant in the city center. Ocean Restaurant didn't have private rooms, so everyone sat outside. Myrna specifically asked the waiter for a seat closer to the inside, but even so, with Calvin's flamboyant face, he still attracted quite a few glances.
Myrna had long been accustomed to being watched, so she took the menu from the waiter without surprise and asked, “Do you want to have a hotpot with both spicy and non-spicy soup bases, or just the spicy one?” Based on her personal preference, she definitely chose the spicy hotpot, but she also knew that Calvin and his friends couldn't eat much chili.
She was planning to order the hotpot when she heard a man's deep voice say, “Look at you. I’ll eat whatever you like.” Myrna raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, her eyes filled with playfulness. She almost blurted out, “I want to eat extra spicy butter pot, you should eat it with me too,” but the words stopped at the tip of her tongue, and she silently swallowed them back. Her slender white fingers pointed at the tomato pot and the clear oil red pot.
After finishing the hotpot, she randomly chose about ten dishes and handed the iPad to them. Leaning back, she exuded a hint of casualness and said, “I’m done ordering. You guys can add any dishes you want.”
Blake didn’t mince words. He took the iPad, looked through it, selecting three or four dishes. Finally, he handed the iPad to Cedric and looked at Myrna with an indescribable expression, saying, “Mya, do you still like eating chicken kidneys?” Who knows how shocked he was when he saw that his sister had also ordered a portion of chicken kidneys? Her taste is just too heavy!
Myrna was playing with her phone, unaware of who she was replying to. Upon hearing the words, she raised her eyelids, her eyes dark and bright, and replied with a hint of disdain, “Oh, that’s for the three of you. From the perspective of Traditional Medicine, chicken kidneys can nourish yin and yang, aid digestion and strengthen the spleen, and also reduce swelling and relieve restlessness. It has a certain improvement effect on symptoms such as restlessness, cold limbs, and night sweats caused by kidney deficiency. However, it is best not to eat too much if you have high cholesterol, so I only ordered one portion for you.”
Blake was originally going to say something about the chicken kidneys, but when he heard her calm “nourishing yin and invigorating yang,” he suddenly didn’t feel very well. He used to hang out in the entertainment industry all day long, where there were all kinds of people, both good and bad. His family worried that he would be influenced negatively, but his sister was different. Even when they had hotpot, she never forgot to give him a portion of chicken kidneys for “nourishing yin and strengthening yang”! His mouth twitched, and his gaze fell on the man beside him. He chuckled, “Mr. Larson, have some more later.”
Calvin ignored him completely. From the moment he sat down, his gaze fell on the girl constantly playing with her phone. Seeing her snow-white neck lowered, still engrossed in her phone, he suddenly asked, “Do you like Traditional Medicine?”
The angle of approach to this topic was quite tricky. Cedric randomly chose a few dishes, handed the iPad to the waiter, and also looked at Myrna with curiosity on his face. Did Ms. Stark like Traditional Medicine?
Myrna was originally replying to Rachel’s message when Rachel sent her a photo of pasta soup from Monica’s place. The pasta, coated in red oil, looked so appetizing. It was nothing like the Ocean Restaurant she was about to eat at now. It looked beautiful, but in reality, the taste was just average, too bland.
Upon hearing Calvin’s words, she lifted her gaze and glanced in that direction. I heard a handsome man with a smiley voice saying, “I just felt that you were very interested in Traditional Medicine.”
Calvin leaned back, relaxed, and gazed deeply into her eyes, saying, “When you first saved Alfi, you also used acupuncture techniques, all of which are related to Traditional Medicine…”
