The hospital wasn't far from the restaurant, about three kilometers away.
Chen Xuan jogged slowly and, after a quarter of an hour, she had already arrived outside the hospital.
She glanced at the address on the paper: Inpatient Department, Room 1066.
Taking the elevator to the tenth floor, she soon found the location of Room 1066.
It was a three-person room, and 1066 was the innermost bed next to the window.
On the bed was a middle-aged woman, and a man in his forties, Liu Dahai, was the one who had placed the order.
Chen Xuan walked over with the food, "Hello, your takeaway has arrived."
"Ah, thank you!" Liu Dahai received it, "You're making food so late, I really appreciate it."
"No problem." Chen Xuan smiled and was about to leave when a nurse walked in to check on the patients.
The nurse froze for a moment upon seeing Chen Xuan, unsure, and asked, "Miss Chen?"
Chen Xuan turned at the sound of the voice, and the nurse's eyes immediately lit up, "It's really Miss Chen!"
She quickly walked over, clearly excited, and said, "Miss Chen, I watch your livestream every day. Just a few days ago, we ordered your restaurant's rice bowl."
"Oh, thank you," Chen Xuan's face turned a little red.
Although she knew she was famous, she still wasn't used to being recognized like this in real life.
"Pfft, is this Miss Chen's little fan?"
"I feel like Miss Chen is more embarrassed than the nurse???"
"Miss Chen would be shy? I thought she was such a carefree woman!"
Meanwhile, Liu Dahai had opened the container with the rib soup, and a rich fragrance filled the air. He closed his eyes, savoring the smell, enjoying the moment.
"It smells so good." Liu Dahai's appetite was instantly triggered, and the woman on the bed couldn't help but salivate from the scent. Even the patients and family members in the neighboring rooms were drawn to the aroma.
"It smells so good!" A man in the next bed asked, "Liu, what's this? Why does it smell so delicious?"
Before Liu Dahai could respond, the nurse suddenly asked, "Did Miss Chen make this?"
Chen Xuan nodded, and the nurse continued, "Uncle Liu, you're in for a treat. Miss Chen's cooking is amazing. You wouldn't believe how many people line up at her restaurant every day."
Liu Dahai was surprised, "Business is that good? People have to line up?"
The nurse replied, "Try it yourself, and you'll know if it's worth the wait. Miss Chen's cooking is so good that they don't even have time to make takeout anymore. I used to get her rice bowls, but now I can't anymore."
The nurse was clearly a fan of Chen Xuan, and she couldn't help but promote her, making Chen Xuan feel a little embarrassed.
"It smells so good."
Suddenly, a weak female voice came from the bed near the door.
At that moment, the middle-aged man standing next to the bed trembled as though struck by lightning. His lips quivered as he looked at the pale, weak girl in the bed: "Xiaoxiao, what… what did you say?"
"That smell, it's so good, I want to eat too…" The girl, named Xiaoxiao, looked at the rib soup in Liu Dahai's hand, a faint blush appearing on her pale face. It seemed almost embarrassing for her to want someone else's food.
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao's words, the middle-aged man's tired eyes immediately reddened, and tears couldn't help but fall.
He quickly stood up and walked toward Liu Dahai, "Liu, I need to ask you for a favor."
"What's up, Xiao Zhou? What do you need?"
"Xiaoxiao… she just smelled the soup and said she was hungry, she wants to drink some."
"Ha, I thought it was something serious. Go get a bowl, I'll pour you some soup."
"Thank you, Liu. Thank you so much." The middle-aged man kept bowing in gratitude.
Chen Xuan, standing in the room, watched the whole scene, confused.
She knew the soup was good, she could tell herself; nobody could resist a bowl of it.
But even if it was delicious, it wouldn't cause such a reaction.
"Oh my, is it really that important? It's just a bowl of soup!"
"It's not like that, really not like that, I don't even know what to say."
"If the little girl wants some soup, just ask Miss Chen to make her a pot, right?"
The online viewers were also somewhat speechless.
Just then, the nurse seemed to have just realized something and stared at Xiaoxiao with wide, round eyes.
The next second, she quickly walked over to the bed, asking incredulously, "What did you just say?"
Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her face turning red with embarrassment.
At that moment, her father returned, holding a bowl of soup, his face full of smiles and tears, with uncontainable joy in his voice: "Nurse, my daughter just said she's hungry! She wants to eat something!"
"This…" The nurse couldn't believe it, "Is this for real?"
"Really!" The middle-aged man showed the soup in his hands. "Look, just this soup. It smells so good, no wonder Xiaoxiao wanted to drink it."
"Xiaoxiao, come, drink slowly."
The middle-aged man scooped a spoonful of rib soup and offered it to her lips.
Xiaoxiao's lips were dry, but she couldn't wait and eagerly drank the soup from the spoon.
Seeing this, the man's worry vanished completely: "Slow down, slow down, there's more."
The nurse stood there, her mouth slightly open, not saying a word. She quickly turned and rushed out, calling toward the office: "Doctor Zhang, 1068, Xiao Zhou, she's eating!"
Chen Xuan was still frozen in place, utterly confused and stunned.
But soon, she understood what was happening.
When the nurse came back, she had a doctor and several other nurses with her, all observing Xiaoxiao.
Chen Xuan approached and asked, "What's wrong with this little girl?"
"She has anorexia!" The nurse explained, "A very serious case, with a 25% mortality rate! She hasn't eaten for five days, and anything she eats, she vomits. These past few days, she's been relying on nutritional drips to survive. I thought I was imagining things when she wanted food today."
"Miss Chen, your soup is really amazing! Even a patient with anorexia can eat it. This is a medical miracle!"
