Chapter 225 -226 Strawberry Treats Anorexia
Nian Shutong had finalized the menu and felt a hint of excitement; she always had the feeling it would be a particularly lively day.
Not just Nian Shutong, but everyone around was looking forward too, as there were too many new dishes they had not tried, and their names sounded delicious.
After all the busyness had concluded, everyone went to rest.
Only Nian Shutong walked outside on her own; the others returned to their rooms.
“Elder Hua, where are you going?”
Fu Yunhe watched as Elder Hua didn’t follow him back to the small wooden house but instead followed Dou Dou.
Elder Hua stopped in his tracks, turned around, and naturally said, “I’m staying with Dou Dou.”
“Right! Uncle Xiao He, Dou Dou’s place has spare rooms. It’s perfect for Grandpa Hua.”
Fu Yunhe looked at Elder Hua, whose face was tense with anticipation for his response, and, feeling helpless, said, “You can go, but you must behave.”
Elder Hua, like a sulky and impatient child, grabbed Dou Dou and ran off.
“I know.”
Dou Dou even turned back, waving a little hand at Fu Yunhe, and said, “Uncle Xiao He, don’t worry, I will take good care of Grandpa Hua.”
With that said, the old and the young entered Ji Sisi’s courtyard and the door closed behind them in a blink of an eye.
Fu Yunhe also returned to the small wooden house with his hands behind his back.
All around the small wooden house, everything began to quiet down, leaving only the frogs croaking, cicadas buzzing, and the scurrying of insects.
This quietness was completely different from the liveliness on the Star Network.
And all of this began with a strawberry slush.
Ten slushes, ten lucky individuals.
One of the lucky ones was a servant from the first family, the Chuan family.
She was the only daughter of the Chuan family, or rather, the only girl in nine generations, and the personal maid of Chuan Weibao.
Chuan Weibao was only sixteen years old, very talented, and was currently studying. Yet, for some reason, she had recently begun to suffer from anorexia, despising everything she ate.
The moment her personal maid, Xiao Tao, managed to get a strawberry slush, she decided to let her miss try it, in case it might whet her appetite.
She and Chuan Weibao had grown up together; Chuan Weibao wasn’t a harsh person, and they were very affectionate towards each other.
She had unintentionally learned about Little River Live; however, one, she didn’t have much time to watch, and two, she was quite clumsy and could never grab anything.
This time, she had finally gotten lucky.
When Xiao Tao received the delivery, she brought the strawberry slush to the Chuan family’s dining room.
At that moment, a girl dressed in comfortable pajamas, with her hair loose, was listlessly laying her head on the table.
Beside her, a young man was holding a bowl of something, incessantly coaxing her.
“Baby, try this. Second Brother specially went to the Chi Family to get you this treat. You want to try?”
“Second Brother—Baby doesn’t want to eat.”
Chuan Weibao even turned her head away, feeling uncomfortable just from the smell.
The man called Second Brother quickly took the food away.

“Baby, how about this mung bean cake? You used to love it.”
“No thanks, I can’t eat it.”
The woman holding the cake exchanged a glance with the man across from her; both were filled with urgency.
The man across from her took out a bottle of nutrient liquid and said, “Baby, how about drinking some nutrient liquid then? You can’t go without eating anything.”
“Yes, yes, drink a little.”
Chuan Weibao looked around at the people surrounding her, her big brother, second brother, dad, and mom, all watching her with concern. She tried to muster her energy, took the nutrient liquid, and despite feeling nauseous inside, drank a small sip.
But that small sip only brought a flicker of smiles to the faces around her; the next second, it all turned back into worry.
“Baby!”
“Throw up here!”
“What about trying the treatment tank again?”
“Baby isn’t sick, neither the treatment tank nor the recovery tank work.”
Chuan Weibao spat out all the nutrient liquid and more; she only felt her stomach begin to spasm, as if a tornado was spinning non-stop, forcing her to vomit up all the gastric juice inside.
Upon entering, Xiao Tao saw how uncomfortable Chuan Weibao looked and didn’t know whether she should suggest her miss to try again.
“Mom, Dad, I will drink again later; don’t worry,” Chuan Weibao said as she rose, first consoling her own parents before turning and giving Xiao Tao a sweet smile upon seeing her.
In a place unseen by others, Chuan Weibao’s mother wiped away her tears, but what could be done?
In the interstellar, if you get injured, even if a hole is pierced through your body, as long as there’s a treatment tank, you can be healed.
But a minor issue like anorexia was utterly baffling.
How could one survive without eating anything? Does one have to live in a recovery tank for their entire life? Her daughter was only sixteen years old.
“Miss, I have something, would you like to try it?”
Xiao Tao looked at the suffering Chuan Weibao and finally spoke up, suggesting they give it a try.
“Xiao Tao, the stuff made by the Chi Family that I took is no good,”
Chuan Weibao’s second brother said, pointing to a bowl of something he had placed far away.
With a respectful bow, Xiao Tao then began to explain: “Second Young Master, I just wanted to give it a try, just in case. This strawberry ice is from a very popular food live stream where I won it in a raffle; it’s really good.”
“Let’s try it!” Chuan Weibao’s father agreed first, not wanting to miss a shred of possibility.
Chuan Weibao was not only their only daughter but also the most gifted of her generation.
Chuan Weibao herself also managed a smile and said, “Bring it here, Xiao Tao.”
She wasn’t very good at rejecting others, and Xiao Tao was sincerely trying to help her. Why not try? At worst, she could just throw it up again.
“Bring it here,” Chuan Weibao’s mother also spoke up.
Xiao Tao was handpicked by her to serve Chuan Weibao, and the two shared a great rapport. Let her try.
Everyone was holding onto the thought of just giving it a try, but in reality, none had any confidence.
Xiao Yao came forward and placed a delivery box on the table, and once opened, inside was a preservation box.
“Miss, this is called strawberry ice,” Xiao Yao revealed as she opened the box.
The sweet scent mixed with a hint of coolness was compelling.
Chuan Weibao swallowed, enticed by the aroma.
“I will try.” Chuan Weibao voluntarily picked up the spoon, for the first time indicating her desire to taste.
The few people around immediately noticed this difference, and hope started to rise within their hearts.
Can she eat?
Is it effective?
All eyes were fixated on Chuan Weibao’s spoon as she gently scooped up a bit of the red sauce and some ice, slowly bringing it to her mouth.
At that moment, everyone’s heart was in their throat.
The baby had eaten.
The baby hadn’t vomited.
She still hadn’t vomited.
The baby scooped another spoonful.
Immense joy filled the faces and hearts of the few onlookers, yet they dared not make a sound, fearing they might disrupt this rare instance of consumption.
When only ice remained at the bottom of the strawberry ice, after the strawberry sauce was finished, Chuan Weibao stopped.
She looked at the remaining cool ice and frowned slightly, then looked up at everyone.
“I can’t eat anymore.”
“It seems I only like the red stuff on top, the strawberry sauce.”
