Chapter 334: Chapter 337: The Writing’s Quite Good

"Really!"

Feeling annoyed, Han Lu stomped her foot, angrily chiding herself for being too careless just a moment ago. They had forgotten to ask for his seat during their last encounter, resulting in not knowing where he was sitting. She and her grandfather had planned to come over and offer a toast, but they had been unable to do so, and in the end, they hadn’t even managed to pick up the tab, as it was already paid for.

They went back feeling rather embarrassed, after all, they had been the ones who offered to cover the bill.

However, Han Lu quickly seemed to recall something, a hint of thoughtfulness appeared in her eyes, and her expression slowly calmed down. Gradually, a smile formed on her face.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi’s friends must be sitting in the main hall, or perhaps those smaller private rooms up front. I’ll go and have a look over there later. If I find them, Grandpa will surely be very pleased.

The more she thought about it, the more convinced Han Lu became that her speculation was correct. Because Xiao Yi had saved her grandfather, the Han Family had done some basic research about him and knew that he was just an ordinary student at Z University. On his own, he probably couldn’t afford to be there. Last time, he had been stopped at the entrance by the staff for arriving too early, and it was fortunate that they ran into each other. With this thought, the expression on her face completely relaxed, and she turned with a smile to walk towards the restroom.

"Haha, Xiao Yi, you’re back? Is everything okay? I was just about to look for you. I was worried that some troublemaker might bother you again."

As soon as Xiao Yi returned to the Emperor Hall, he saw that Chen Jianguo had already stood up, looking like he was about to go out. After being momentarily stunned to see Xiao Yi, he laughed heartily and sat back down.

Chen Jianguo had indeed been somewhat uneasy just a moment ago. He was aware that the club predominantly attracted the likes of young and wealthy heirs, among whom there inevitably were some who were ignorant of their place in the world, assuming themselves to be unparalleled, much like the Li Family scion they had encountered previously. He would have felt really bad if Xiao Yi had been subjected to any sort of insult or trouble.

Seeing Xiao Yi return safely at this moment, he finally felt at ease.

"No, no, sorry for making you worry," Xiao Yi said with a touched smile, lifting his glass. "I’ll drink a penalty cup."

Having said that, he picked up his glass and downed it in one go.

Both Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan greatly admired Xiao Yi’s drinking capacity. Although they had both drunk quite a bit today, Xiao Yi had consumed even more. Yet, he seemed completely unaffected.

Luckily, Chen Jianguo had previously interacted with the old man and had witnessed their capabilities, so he was somewhat able to understand. But Liu Yuan, who had only heard of Xiao Yi’s extraordinary background from Chen Jianguo and never witnessed it firsthand, was now utterly astonished and found it too miraculous to believe.

"By the way, Uncle Chen, do you have any paper and pen here?"

After drinking for a while, Xiao Yi remembered his earlier idea and turned his head to ask Chen Jianguo.

"Yes, of course, we do. What do you need paper and pen for?"

Chen Jianguo quickly nodded, but his eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at Xiao Yi.

"You guys drink often, which is not very good for the body, especially the liver; it can cause a lot of harm. I have a recipe for a liver-protecting, hangover-curing remedy that should be quite effective. After you go back, you can brew it regularly and it should help reduce some of the damage to the liver."

Xiao Yi smiled and said.

"Ah? That’s great!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Chen Jianguo was momentarily stunned, then looked at Xiao Yi with a deeply moved expression. He trusted Xiao Yi completely, having had experience with the old man and was well aware that Xiao Yi’s lineage possessed many secret skills unknown to others, especially in the field of medicine. He had personally witnessed the old man’s medical prowess, but he hadn’t expected Xiao Yi to have also mastered these medical skills.

As Xiao Yi had guessed, Chen Jianguo didn’t just drink so much today while with Xiao Yi, nor was Xiao Yi the only drinking companion. Though Chen Jianguo’s position didn’t require him to be constantly amidst toasts and drunkenness like a typical salesman, it was inevitable to indulge in alcohol occasionally while conducting business at banquets, ending up inebriated every few days.

If he could get his hands on Xiao Yi’s liver protection recipe, it would indeed be fantastic news for him.

As for Liu Yuan, his joy was even more pronounced. As a secretary, he was faced with more social engagements than Chen Jianguo, and furthermore, his alcohol tolerance was not that great, having built it up solely through experience. Over the past few years, he had distinctly felt his health deteriorating substantially.

If there truly was a liver protection and hangover cure recipe, that would be nothing short of a super good news!

However, could Xiao Yi’s recipe be effective? At such a young age, could he possibly understand anything about medicine?

He couldn’t help but feel some doubt in his heart.

Despite his internal skepticism, his hands didn’t dare to slack off. He quickly grabbed some paper and a pen from beside him and handed them over to Xiao Yi.

Taking the paper and pen, Xiao Yi gave a slight smile and, after a brief moment of thought, began to write briskly on the paper.

The recipe Xiao Yi wrote wasn’t very long, comprising only seven or eight herbs. He quickly finished writing it down. Then, thinking of the two men, he copied it over once more, tearing the paper in half and smiling as he handed it over to them, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu, after you drink, boil a dose of this and don’t use too much water, just a small bowl should be enough. You should feel much better."

"Great, thank you so much! Xiao Yi, you don’t know, this is like a tremendous blessing you’ve handed me! With this recipe, I won’t ever have to worry about drinking too much again."

Chen Jianguo, with a look of excitement, extended both hands to receive the recipe Xiao Yi passed to him. Glancing at it, he carefully treasured it like a valuable gem.

Seeing the excitement on Chen Jianguo’s face that didn’t seem feigned, it didn’t come off as if he was just trying to flatter Xiao Yi. Liu Yuan couldn’t help but be immensely puzzled—could Young Master Xiao actually be a rejuvenation expert?

Whether he was a rejuvenation expert or not, Liu Yuan had no idea, but the calligraphy of his handwriting was indeed beautiful.

As his eyes caught a glimpse of the recipe Xiao Yi had copied for him, Liu Yuan couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes. He felt a sense of respect, being someone from a liberal arts background and serving as a secretary. Calligraphy, a skill essential in his line of work, was an area in which he had a considerable level of expertise. He might not be extremely accomplished, but his handwriting was certainly impressive enough to catch anyone’s eye, making him a connoisseur.

Especially in this day and age, where computers had become completely ubiquitous, many middle and high school students had begun to use computers for doing their homework. To see more clearly and take the easy way out, some teachers, with an encouraging or at the very least permissive attitude, had led to a situation where many young people couldn’t even sign their names properly in banks or for other such matters.

Not to mention practicing calligraphy.(To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to cast your vote for it at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
