Ye Xingbei guessed right; it wasn't the flu, just an ordinary cold.
After drinking a few days of the herbal medicine prescribed by Yue Yaer, she recovered quickly.
The only thing that didn't recover was her appetite.
Two or three days after her cold subsided, she still had no appetite and didn't feel like eating. Her portions grew smaller and smaller, even less than what Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao, the two kids, ate.
Eating so little directly caused her to become even thinner.
She had always been the type who wouldn't gain weight no matter what she ate. With reduced intake, she slimmed down visibly at an alarming speed.
The words that Gu Junzhu said most often every day were to urge her to eat more.
But it wasn't that she was being difficult; she truly couldn't eat much.
She was already forcing herself to eat a little more.
But as soon as her stomach felt full, stuffing more food into her mouth made her feel nauseous and unable to swallow.
