Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

On Sunday, August 18th, He Daqing's "high-end" restaurant opened. He Yuzhu had brought He Yushui and Qin Huairu to try the food three days earlier.

Very good. It ranks among the top five hotels here. Having been here for almost two years, He Yuzhu has tried the food at all the famous hotels here for work.

Today, He Daqing's "high-end restaurant" opened, and He Yuzhu personally invited more than forty people to support his cheap father.

For He Yuzhu, it was just a social event; the relationships were all fairly good, and it was a chance to build some rapport.

There are lots of parties and gatherings here!

Zhao Youcai hosts parties frequently, while He Yuzhu attends them only a few times, only at important gatherings. He has never hosted a party at his own home, so he's not really part of the entertainment industry.

To He Yuzhu's surprise, the future Sir Zhou, along with his wife and an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, attended the party.

I sent an invitation to Sir Zhou, but I didn't expect him to come, especially with his wife and a young lady. He has so many titles now, it's no exaggeration to say he's extremely busy.

After putting down the gifts and exchanging pleasantries, they spent time together to build rapport. No one went upstairs to the private rooms; they continued to bond on the three lower floors.

There were over fifty uninvited guests and over thirty guests invited by Zhao Youcai. The original plan was to have a banquet for ninety people, but more than one hundred and forty people showed up just before the meal was about to start.

Fortunately, He Daqing was prepared and used the side dishes from dinner at noon, so there wasn't a shortage!

People started leaving around 1:30 p.m., as they had other things to do at their respective companies. They agreed to have tea together next time.

As the three of them, including Sir Zhou, were about to leave and were saying goodbye to He Yuzhu, the little girl suddenly leaned forward and was about to fall. He Yuzhu reacted quickly and caught the girl.

I took her pulse with my other hand.

"His low blood sugar is quite severe; he hasn't been eating properly!" He Yuzhu said softly.

"Wen Yu is on a diet. She doesn't eat every day and has fainted several times. She won't listen to our advice. What's wrong with being a little chubby? It won't kill her," Sir Zhou complained to his niece.

"It's not a big problem. Who tries to lose weight by not eating? I'll wake her up first; she'll be fine after eating something."

"Is it easy to wake up?"

Simple."

With one hand, He Yuzhu helped Zhou Anyu back to the restaurant and laid her flat on the living room sofa. He then took out silver needles from his spatial storage and inserted three needles directly.

He Yuzhu didn't find acupuncture difficult at all, as it was a technique he knew and used frequently before. He could only say that the system was amazing!

A minute later, Zhou Anyu opened her eyes, slowly sat up, and asked groggily, "Where am I? Auntie, is that you?"

"Hmph, I'm here too, still at the restaurant. It was He Sheng who saved you once. You're always dieting, you're almost killing yourself." Sir Zhou was a little angry.

"Alright, Xinian, Anyu is fine now. You can go back to your work. I'll stay here with Anyu."

"Okay, I'll head back now. I have a meeting to attend this afternoon. Thank you, Mr. He, for saving An Yu's life."

"I fainted a few times, but it wasn't serious. I woke up fine. My classmate was the same."

The little girl seemed unconvinced. She spoke in a soft, sweet voice. She was 1.62 meters tall, which is not short for a southerner. She was quite pretty, a typical southern girl.

Her eyes were big and quite lively, and her gaze was full of defiance.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. I'll tell your dad, and he'll deal with you. I'm leaving now. Save my anger. Thank you, Mr. He. I didn't expect you to know traditional Chinese medicine, and such a high level of skill."

After Sir Zhou left, the restaurant served Zhou Anyu four dishes and a soup.

"Eat something. No decent person starves themselves to lose weight. You need to eat well to have the energy to lose weight. Fainting all the time can kill you, young lady."

"You need to eat well to have the energy to lose weight? How is that possible? And your name is He Yuzhu, right? I'm nineteen years old, not a little girl."

The last three words were uttered in a low growl. You said you're not young anymore, you mean your age, right? What does "chest out" mean? Does it mean you have a big bust?

"I didn't say anything wrong. There are correct ways to lose weight. Obesity is caused by internal factors..." He Yuzhu began to explain the causes of obesity to Zhou Anyu.

"One last thing, you're really not a young lady. You're not even as tall as my sister. Don't you feel ashamed to call yourself a young lady?"

"Hahaha, Madam Zhou burst into laughter when she saw He Yushui standing next to her. He Yushui was not yet fourteen years old, but she was already 1.65 meters tall."

He Yushui was eating a small snack, looking completely bewildered. "I'm just a spectator, what's it to me?"

"I'm not talking about height, I'm talking about age," the little girl insisted.

"Don't try to deny it. Age can be easily changed, but height can't. From behind, my sister is taller than you, so she'll look older than you."

"You...you're talking nonsense. It's just that I'm older; your sister should be under sixteen."

"What's the point of arguing about age? How boring! Do you want to know why my sister can eat so much but doesn't gain weight? That's what you should be concerned about."

What's wrong with letting the rain be the elder sister for once? Don't make a fuss.

"She can't, absolutely can't be my sister. Rain, right? Why can't she gain weight? A few years ago, I would gain weight if I ate too much, which is why I started dieting."

"You're eating snacks, aren't you?"

"That's not important!"

"It doesn't seem important. Just eat normally. I'll have Rainwater tell you why she's not fat. I guarantee it will be useful to you!"

"real!"

"Why would I lie to a young girl like you? Do you have that much money? Rain watched her eat, and I went to attend to the other guests."

"Brother, go ahead. Sister, I used to eat a lot of delicious food when I was little and I was fat too. I know a way to keep us from getting fat. My brother is sharp-tongued, but he doesn't lie." He Yushui made excuses for herself.

Mrs. Zhou remained silent, watching the argument with a slight expression. She now believed that He Yuzhu had a way to help her niece lose weight. This He Yuzhu was interesting; he didn't seem like a typical big boss.

"Eating a lot is really fine."

"Of course it's okay. My brother says that eating is one of the most important things in life, it could be in the top three. So you can't let obesity affect your eating habits. Look, I've been eating snacks all the time, haven't I?"

"You didn't have lunch?"

"I've eaten my fill. The snacks were quite delicious; I'd like to have some more."

"That works too."

"No problem, just eat normally. After you finish eating, I'll tell you the method. In a month at most, you won't have to worry about having enough to eat anymore. I promise!"

He Yushui patted her chest, displaying the magnanimity of an elder sister.

I'll eat it!

Zhou Anyu seemed to believe He Yushui and started eating normally. Perhaps because the food tasted good and she was in a good mood, she actually ate quite a lot.

"It's that simple, just practice standing meditation! If you gain weight after learning it, just practice standing meditation, and you'll be back to normal in two or three days. How come I didn't know that before? I starved myself for four years for nothing!"

Four years! I've missed out on so much delicious food, Auntie! And you didn't even tell me!

"Haha, An Yu, we didn't expect this. If Miss He hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't even remember it."

Yes, that's true. Martial arts practitioners can eat a lot, but they don't get fat; they just become more muscular. It's probably related to physical strength and energy, as He Sheng mentioned. I don't know the specifics.

Seeing her niece's resentful look, Madam Zhou quickly explained.

"I want to practice standing meditation, I want to lose weight, and I want to eat delicious food!"

"An Yu, please ask Miss He to teach you. Perhaps other standing meditation postures are not suitable for you, but Miss He's style is fine."

So when He Yuzhu saw off the guests, he didn't see He Yushui, Qin Huairu, and Zhou Anyu. Madam Zhou took her leave alone.

When I got home that evening, there was a little girl in the living room playing with the child. The child was my daughter, and the little girl was Zhou Anyu.
