After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 13 Anorexia

As Yang Tongtong left her workstation, a girl wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown and with a pale face walked in the next second.

Looking closely, the girl is thin and has sparse, dry and yellow hair.

There seems to be no flesh on the cheeks, and they are deeply sunken.

The hospital gown on his legs looked empty, and it gave the impression of being worn with loose pajamas.

It is hard to imagine how such skinny legs can support the whole body to stand.

"Is Nurse Yang not here?"

A somewhat weak female voice sounded.

The girl reached out, put the thermometer she had just borrowed from Yang Tongtong on the table, and prepared to leave.

Before she even went out, she paused.

She actually smelled a rich and tempting fragrance in the duty room which was usually filled with disinfectant.

She turned around, looking around, and suddenly saw a lunch box on the table.

Through the gap in the lunch box, I could vaguely see the food, which seemed to be shredded pork with fish flavor.

The double stimulation of taste and picture made the girl swallow her saliva subconsciously.

It smells so good, she really wants to taste what it tastes like.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she was surprised.

Then he clenched his hands tightly, with the hospital admission bracelet on his wrist.

【Ran Yating, 23 years old, severe anorexia. 】

"I actually want to eat?!"

When Ran Yating was in school, the boy she had a crush on liked skinny girls.

In order to be able to stand in front of him in the most beautiful posture.

So she tried her best to lose weight, and even forced herself to dig her throat to induce vomiting after each meal.

Looking at the decreasing numbers on the scale and her increasingly thin body, she was smug at first.

Unexpectedly, the long-term vomiting caused her to form dual muscle and mental memory, resulting in serious consequences.

As a result, now after Ran Yating finishes a meal, even if she doesn't induce vomiting, her stomach can't help but churn unconsciously.

In the end, I couldn’t eat anything, and even if I did, I would soon vomit it out.

Doctors diagnosed it as anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder.

Now, Ran Yating couldn't even think of eating anything; she might even vomit if she smelled the food.

I can only take some glucose and liquid food every day to maintain the nutrition needed by the body.

But now she is only in her early 20s, and she is in so much pain every day that she wishes she could leave this world.

But today, when she saw the takeaway and smelled the delicious food, she didn't want to vomit at all.

She even felt hungry again after a long time, which made her rush over to the takeaway involuntarily.

The closer she got, the stronger the aroma of the food became, and the stronger the desire in Ran Yating's heart became.

She extended her hand, paused, then drew it back.

I turned my head and looked around, and felt that it seemed not right to take other people's things without permission.

But Ran Yating swallowed and couldn't help it. A strong desire arose in her heart that she couldn't resist.

"I can leave a note. At worst, I can compensate him three times the price. It's not a big loss."

After saying that, Ran Yating walked back to the ward with the takeaway in both hands, and kept looking around for fear that someone would come to snatch it.

After returning to the ward, Ran Yating closed the door, sat on the bed and opened the takeaway.

I didn't look carefully just now, but I saw that there was soup and pickles in it.

Ran Yating tasted the soup first; it was still warm.

The soup has a light aroma of chicken fat, but the degree is well controlled so it doesn't feel too greasy.

It tasted so good that Ran Yating took another sip, then picked up the chopsticks beside her, picked up a piece of radish and put it in her mouth.

The radish slices were also crispy and refreshing, making Ran Yating unable to help but eat them one bite after another.

She couldn't stop eating and finished it quickly.

Looking at the small box that was just full of radish slices, Ran Yating felt a little sad. It would have been better if there were a little more.

Then she turned her attention to the largest box. She saw the note on the order, mixing the fish-flavored pork shreds with the rice.

Look at the crispy shredded pork in the box, paired with green peppers and black fungus.

All ingredients are covered in a brown-red sauce, including the rice.

Green chopped green onions are sprinkled on top, which looks like strawberries sinking into a cream cake, which is very appetizing.

Ran Yating put it directly into her mouth, and the taste was slightly sour and sweet at first.

Next comes the fried shredded pork, which is dry and fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, and is paired with sweet and soft rice.

Simply delicious!

Ran Yating couldn't help but change to a spoon and started shoveling the food into her mouth.

The shredded pork tastes very soft and tender, the green peppers are very crisp, and the black fungus in particular tastes crispy and chewy.

The food was so delicious that Ran Yating couldn't help but shed tears. It had been a long time since she had a proper meal.

To lose weight, to pursue a skinny figure, and for love.

Is it really worth it to put your body in this state?
When Yang Tongtong returned to the duty room, only the smell of rice remained in the air, but the takeaway was nowhere to be found.

"Where's my lunch box?!"

When I walked to the workstation, I saw only a note left with this written on it.

"Hello, your takeaway is so delicious. I haven't eaten for a long time. I ate your takeaway without your permission."

"I am Ran Yating from Ward 603 of the Psychiatric Department. My contact number is 166＊＊＊＊0077. Please contact me to discuss compensation."

Yang Tongtong looked at the note in front of her and tears were about to come out.

Her takeaway food was lost just because she was away for a short while.

Yang Tongtong was in tears. She didn't need compensation, she just wanted to eat.

But then she thought, isn’t 603 in the psychiatric department the anorexia ward?

She instantly perked up and walked towards Room 603.

As soon as she opened the door of Room 603, she smelled a familiar fragrance. Yang Tongtong thought that it was definitely her meal.

There was only a thin girl with her back to the door in Room 603. She walked closer and took a look.

Ran Yating was crying while shoveling food into her mouth.

This look scared Yang Tongtong, and before Ran Yating could react, she ran out again.

They ran to the doctor's office, Yang Tongtong grabbed him and ran out in a hurry.

"Doctor, doctor! Ran Yating from Room 603 has eaten. She can eat now!"

Arriving at the door of the ward, the doctor calmed his breathing and glared at the reckless Yang Tongtong.

Yang Tongtong smiled embarrassedly, "I'm too excited!"

When I entered the ward, Ran Yating had already finished her meal and was sitting on the bed drinking hot water in small sips.

The doctor took out a stethoscope and checked Ran Yating's physical condition.

"Not bad, not bad. This is a very good sign. Being able to eat is a good thing!"

"You see, Ran Yating's face seems to have regained some color, and her complexion is much better than before."

"Not only is long-term consumption of liquid food not nutritious, it can also cause damage to the stomach and intestines."

"It seems that the treatment is effective. We can continue to persevere."

After saying that, the doctor thought about the next treatment plan, and went back after seeing that there was nothing unusual about Ran Yating.

The patients who were watching outside just now rushed into the ward, surrounded Ran Yating and asked her what she was eating and from whom she ordered the dishes.

Just smelling the lingering food in the ward makes me hungry.

Ran Yating ate it, but she didn’t know where the dish came from.

They could only look to Yang Tongtong for help, and the people around them also looked at her.

Yang Tongtong, who was surrounded by so many people’s gazes for the first time: ???
"I saw it on 吃吗, a new restaurant, Yue Lai Restaurant."

After getting the answer, everyone dispersed, leaving only Yang Tongtong and Ran Yating sitting on the bed.

They looked at each other speechlessly.
