He Shishi held the table and shouted, "Shen Xinglan! Do you want to kill me?"
"Shut up." Shen Xinglan frowned and looked at A Miao's stomach as if he could see something.
A Miao beckoned He Shishi. "Come and sit down!"
He Shishi adjusted her shoes, walked over, and was about to sit down when she saw Shen Xinglan pull A Miao's hand back with a dead face. Then he turned to look at her and said, "Have you been to a bar?"
"Yesterday... I went yesterday." He Shishi did not know what he meant.
"Have you bathed yet?"
A Miao, "…"
"Is it none of your business if I've washed or not!" He Shishi smiled angrily. "Since you don't sleep in the same bed as me, it has nothing to do with you even if I have lice."
Shen Xinglan ignored her and turned to touch A Miao's head. "Look, I said she was unhygienic."
"..." He Shishi almost broke her fingernails. "You psycho!"
A Miao looked at the two of them who were going to have a fight, so she hurriedly pushed Shen Xinglan away. "I want to eat a red bean cake across the street from the hospital."
"I'll go to buy it." Shen Xinglan stood up, walked to the door, and glanced at He Shishi again. "Since you're here, stay longer."
He Shishi gave him a satisfied look. A Miao did not dare to tell her the truth...
"I was scared to death to learn that you were almost killed." He Shishi looked at her and said, "You seem a little thinner."
"That is an illusion." A Miao turned a contemptuous look. "How can I lose weight in two days?"
He Shishi stared at her carefully. "No, you are thin."
"Really?"
"Really!"
All right!
"It may be malnutrition." A Miao said this, then changed the subject. "Have you considered it? Do you want to go back and pretend to be Ouyang Jin's fiancee?"
He Shishi touched her hair. "I'll go! This is not the first time."
"Shishi..." A Miao looked at her anxiously.
"What kind of eyes do you have?" He Shishi glared at her. "Again you sympathize with me?"
A Miao shook her head quickly and replied, "I am worried about you."
"What is there to worry about?" He Shishi raised her hand, full of red nail polish. "Do you think I will do that for free? He promised me benefits!"
"Benefits?" A Miao blinked.
He Shishi showed her mobile phone. "Ouyang Jin promised to give me a 30% stake in this gambling ship on the Atlantic Ocean."
"There should be a lot of money!" It must be a large stake since she showed off in an ostentatious manner.
"There is!" He Shishi threw her a coquettish glance. "Do you think only you are rich?"
A Miao looked at her oddly. She also felt that Ouyang Jin's feelings toward He Shishi were not ordinary. What kind of ordinary friends would give each other shares?
"We'll leave after the festival." He Shishi uttered a cry. "By the way, I helped you to buy something on the Internet and sent it back to Shen Xinglan to sign for it."
"What did you buy?"
He Shishi smiled coquettishly. "Then you will know!"
When Shen Xinglan came back, he was holding a red bean cake in his hand and was followed by a bunch of people.
"A Miao, how are you?" Ding V was the first to jump over and look at her. "A baby!"
Wei Meng pushed his head away. "You can't see it now. In a few months, her belly will be big."
"Like Akin?"
"Bigger than Akin's stomach." Wei Meng solemnly taught him. "Human females have the longest pregnancy cycle and naturally the largest belly. The pregnant period of a female leopard is only just over three months, so her belly is not that big."
Shen Xinglan's face became dark again. "Damn you to compare my son with animals!"
"Hahahaha!" A Miao could only laugh.
Contrarily, He Shishi scoffed, "Ding V, aren't you tired of listening to this woman's sermons?"
"I like listening to Mengmeng." Ding V's tail came out again, with a face of a lackey, leaning up against Wei Meng.
He Shishi almost blurted out something about the adulterous couple, then she saw Ouyang Jin also come in and turned her head with a snort.
"Since you are all idle, then start working." Shen Xinglan swept over everyone with a quick glance.
Shen I came in through the door with a big box, especially fitting in. "Boss, everything is here."
"Lantern? Flower Lantern? Spring Festival couplets?" He Shishi rummaged and her face changed. "You... you made me stay for these things?"
Shen Xinglan gave her a look that said: If not, what is the point of you staying here? "Hang these up quickly or you'll be alone on New Year's Eve."
He Shishi wanted to say that she could be alone, but she swallowed her words after seeing A Miao's eyes.
"Looks like... it's not bad for everyone to celebrate the Spring Festival together!"
"Do you like it?" As soon as the room was decorated, Shen Xinglan sent everyone away. While feeding A Miao fruit, he looked at the colored lights on the windows.
The lanterns displayed several colors under the flashing of colored lights, and there were various voices selling Chinese New Year goods on the street, reminding people that New Year's Eve was coming!
"Let's make dumplings by ourselves tomorrow!" A Miao suddenly said. "I haven't made dumplings in a long time."
Shen Xinglan hesitated before saying, "They can only be wrapped on the bed and we'll have Auntie Song finish the stuffing and dough."
"What did you do on New Year's Eve during my absence?" said A Miao, rubbing against him. "I remember that one year there was only me, the nanny, and a gardener on the island."
A Miao's memory slowly receded. "The gardener was a foreigner and had never eaten dumplings. The nanny could mix flour, but she couldn't make the stuffing or wrap them."
"Later, you did them yourself. As a result, because you hadn't wrapped them for a long time, the skin was too thin and the dumplings became just pieces of dough once they were put into the pan." Shen Xinglan continued while she had a look of surprise in her eyes, "Then the gardener asked you, 'Are these the dumplings of China?' And you told them that they were."
"How do you... how do you know that?" A Miao was shocked. She wanted to keep this dark history to herself for the rest of her life.
Shen Xinglan bent his mouth and said, "Fool, I was watching you outside the villa!"
"Then why did you..." not come in. The latter three words she did not say. At that time, if Shen Xinglan had appeared, she would probably have beaten him away.
"No wonder the bodyguards always said there was something wrong with the monitoring those days. It was you who did it." A Miao pouted with her mouth. "Frightening me to think that there were some criminals on the island."
Shen Xinglan kissed her on the forehead. "At that time, I was wondering if I would ever have the chance to eat dumplings with you again in my life. In that case, I would have had nothing in my life to live for."
"We are very lucky!" A Miao looked up. "We are still together."
"Mmm." Shen Xinglan kissed her.
"Some people are indispensable in life—even if they are gone, they will always live on in memory. I have the honor to live up to my deep feelings, my future... and you."
As the largest international city in the south of China, City S was brightly lit on New Year's Eve. Even tall towers and special buildings that did not normally light up at night would not turn off their lights.
Young people would not stay at home to watch the year change, so hotels and places of entertainment were crowded.
A Miao's ward was also busy. Shen Xinglan called the hotel's chef to make the New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone ate and drank around A Miao's bed, watching the Spring Festival Gala. Well, it was actually on the TV. No one knew exactly what's going on inside.
"Wow!" Ouyang Jin cried, "A Miao has eaten the gold ingot."
In the world of local tyrants, even making dumplings was unique. What was wrapped inside was not coins, but small gold ingots specially made by Shen Xinglan, along with small peanuts and goldfish.
"Me too!" He Shishi puffed out a small goldfish. "Richer and richer!"
Ding V, seeing that Wei Meng had not yet eaten any, furtively spat out a small peanut from his mouth and then tried to stuff it into Wei Meng's dumplings.
"Disgusting!" He Shishi took the opportunity to provoke him. "If you have the ability to eat it in your mouth and spit it out, we will count it as yours."
Before eating, everyone decided that whoever ate the least gold would be responsible for tomorrow's dinner.
Wei Meng took a look at He Shishi. She calmly put the golden peanut in her mouth and spat it out again. "I ate it."
"..." He Shishi trembled uncontrollably. "You... you... you..."
"If you have the ability, have someone eat it for you." Wei Meng disdained her.
He Shishi sneered, "Do I need someone else to do that since I have eaten a pile of it myself?"
"Stop arguing." A Miao peeled an orange for everyone. "Be kind to everyone for the Spring Festival!"
After the meal, they played mahjong. Shen Xinglan accompanied A Miao to lean on the bed to watch the Spring Festival Gala. A Miao didn't know when she fell asleep and heard the voice of He Shishi in the middle of the night.
"We'll go to a hotel and come back tomorrow."
She wanted to talk, but she was too sleepy and struggled for a moment until a pair of hands patted her. As a result, A Miao soon fell asleep again, and it was already bright when she woke up next.
"Awake?" Shen Xinglan gave her a good morning kiss.
"Firecrackers are forbidden here, or we can have fireworks at night." A Miao stretched herself.
"You are not in good health now. When you feel well, we will go to the seaside." Shen Xinglan touched her head and got out of bed. "You will have a check-up today. You can't eat."
If the examination results were good, at least A Miao could get out of bed and move about, instead of lying in bed and getting moldy.
"Hot pot for lunch?" Shen Xinglan wiped her face. "Ouyang and the others will all come later."
"Hmm!" A Miao nodded. It was good to ask everyone to have hot pot together for the Spring Festival.
Just then, someone pushed the door and came in.
"I missed New Year's Eve. It's not too late to come now!"
A Miao smiled happily at the sight. "Le Yi! You are back!"
"What is your expression?" Le Yi patted A Miao on the shoulder and saw the face of Shen Xinglan standing beside her.
"Where is he?" Shen Xinglan softly asked.
Le Yi winked at A Miao. "He's in the next ward. He can't get out of bed yet, but insists going back."
A Miao recognized that they were talking about Lil Xi. At that time, she did not know what to do, so she simply lowered her head and fell silent.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open heavily, and Lil Xi was lying on the ground, half of his body still in the corridor. The nurse turned white with fear and tried to pull him up but was pushed away.
"I... I came to see Shan... A Miao."
Le Yi went over to help him. "Can't you be quiet for a moment?"
"No... I'm not lying down. Help me to the bedside." Lil Xi's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Shen Xinglan looked at him coldly, while A Miao was somewhat at a loss.
Lil Xi knelt down in front of A Miao.
"A Miao... I've come to apologize."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
He Shishi held the table and shouted, "Shen Xinglan! Do you want to kill me?"
"Shut up." Shen Xinglan frowned and looked at A Miao's stomach as if he could see something.
A Miao beckoned He Shishi. "Come and sit down!"
He Shishi adjusted her shoes, walked over, and was about to sit down when she saw Shen Xinglan pull A Miao's hand back with a dead face. Then he turned to look at her and said, "Have you been to a bar?"

You can't eat."If the examination results were good, at least A Miao could get out of bed and move about, instead of lying in bed and getting moldy."Hot pot for lunch?" Shen Xinglan wiped her face. "Ouyang and the others will all come later.""Hmm!" A Miao nodded. It was good to ask everyone to have hot pot together for the Spring Festival.Just then, someone pushed the door and came in."I missed New Year's Eve. It's not too late to come now!"A Miao smiled happily at the sight. "Le Yi! You are back!""What is your expression?" Le Yi patted A Miao on the shoulder and saw the face of Shen Xinglan standing beside her."Where is he?" Shen Xinglan softly asked.Le Yi winked at A Miao. "He's in the next ward. He can't get out of bed yet, but insists going back."A Miao recognized that they were talking about Lil Xi. At that time, she did not know what to do, so she simply lowered her head and fell silent."Bang!" The door was pushed open heavily, and Lil Xi was lying on the ground, half of his body still in the corridor. The nurse turned white with fear and tried to pull him up but was pushed away."I... I came to see Shan... A Miao."Le Yi went over to help him. "Can't you be quiet for a moment?""No... I'm not lying down. Help me to the bedside." Lil Xi's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat.Shen Xinglan looked at him coldly, while A Miao was somewhat at a loss.Lil Xi knelt down in front of A Miao."A Miao... I've come to apologize."
