Fan Xian, upon hearing this, immediately became tense.

She said, "No need, no need, I'm fine. It hurt a bit just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

Chen Fang looked around.

He didn't see any flowers or fruit.

Instead, there were a few beer bottles in the trash can.

Fan Xian couldn't move, and neither a nurse nor a doctor would likely buy her beer, so where did these beer bottles come from?

She seemed to notice Chen Fang's gaze as well.

She quickly changed the subject, asking, "Haven't you gone back for New Year's yet?"

"New Year's?"

Chen Fang was startled for a moment.

Fan Xian said, "Isn't today New Year's Eve? Aren't you going back to celebrate New Year's?"

Chen Fang suddenly slapped his forehead.

Right, today is New Year's Eve. There had been too many chaotic events lately, and he had completely forgotten about New Year's.

However, since his parents died, his memory seemed to truly lack any presence of New Year's.

In the past, when Tan Yandong was the county mayor, he always had to be on duty, leaving Chen Fang alone at home.

He remembered that before Jiang Yuchan was married, Chen Fang would spend New Year's Eve at her house eating dinner; after she got married, it seemed each New Year's Eve was associated with instant noodles.

"Uh...well..."

For a moment, Chen Fang didn't know how to respond.

Fan Xian seemed to sense something was off.

She softly asked, "Don't you have any family?"

Chen Fang nodded, said self-mockingly, "My parents both died when I was 18, and then I had a godfather, but he passed away a few months ago."

"I'm sorry."

Fan Xian said somewhat apologetically.

Chen Fang smiled and said, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it. Sister Xian, if you also have no one to accompany you today, then I'll stay here and spend New Year's with you."

For some reason, Fan Xian's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

It frightened Chen Fang quite a bit.

He quickly asked, "Sister Xian, are you in pain again?"

Although he asked this, Chen Fang knew in his heart that her tears were not because of the wound.

Fan Xian wiped her tears.

She said, "No, I just feel somewhat...indescribable. It's good to have you accompany me for New Year's, I just don't want to spend it in the hospital."

"But you can't be discharged from the hospital yet,"

Chen Fang said.

Fan Xian lifted the covers, slightly lifted her clothes to reveal the wound, and said, "It's okay, it was minimally invasive surgery, my wound is no longer a problem, I even got up and moved around this morning."

"But even so, the doctor probably wouldn't approve, right?"

Chen Fang said worriedly.

Fan Xian said, "Really, it's no problem, just look."

After saying that,

Fan Xian got out of bed directly and, even in front of Chen Fang, took a few steps as if there really was no problem.

"Alright then, I'll go and arrange the discharge procedures for Sister Xian,"

Chen Fang said.

Fan Xian nodded, saying, "I'll just change my clothes."

The doctor was a middle-aged woman who initially did not allow Fan Xian to be discharged when she heard her request. Yet, considering that today was New Year's Eve and that the patient wanted to go home, she finally agreed, prescribed some medication, and instructed her to remember to return for a check-up on the seventh day after the holiday.

After finishing, she skillfully wrote on the prescription pad.

Once the prescription was ready and handed over to Chen Fang, the doctor pushed up her glasses and said, "I don't interfere with you young people's lives, but when I did rounds this morning, I saw signs of sexual activity. Although there wasn't any significant impact, it's still necessary to be cautious just after surgery. Young man, can't you hold off for a day or two?"

Sexual activity?

Chen Fang was taken aback.

Seeing his confused look,

The doctor thought Chen Fang was feeling guilty and sighed, saying, "I didn't say you can't have sex, but you need to be mindful of the positions and try not to put pressure on the wound, understood?"

"Oh, oh, okay, I got it."

Chen Fang quickly took the prescription and hurried out.

After picking up the medicine from the pharmacy,

He returned to the ward.

Fan Xian was already packed and ready.

He put on the same trench coat he wore when he had met her last, which paired with his Eurasian features, significantly enhanced his charisma.

"Fan Xian, I've prepared the medicine for you, uh… do you need me to call a taxi for you?"

Chen Fang asked.

Fan Xian was taken aback.

She asked, "Didn't you say I was going to spend New Year's with you? What, you don't welcome me?"

"No, no, I just thought you were going back home," Chen Fang said awkwardly.

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Today, I will make dumplings for you."

"You're going to make dumplings? But your health…"

"I already told you I'm fine. Come on, let's go to the market first, then to your place."

With such enthusiasm from her, Chen Fang felt too embarrassed to decline.

Besides, he had no other plans for this New Year's Eve.

They left the hospital.

They went to the market and bought some ingredients.

Then they headed back to Chen Fang's dormitory.

Lately, he had been running around outside so much that his dorm had become a complete mess; clothes were unwashed, and some underwear was even thrown on the sofa.

As soon as Fan Xian walked in, she saw the room looked like a battlefield and started tidying up without a word.

Chen Fang felt it was inappropriate to let her do the work.

He tried to stop her.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xian pressed him down on the sofa, saying, "Let me clean up a bit first, then I'll start on the dumplings. You can either take a nap or watch TV until it gets dark, and then we can eat."

"Fan Xian, I… maybe I should just…"

"Stop it, you call me 'sister' and besides, I owe my life to you. It's only right I do something for you. If you keep causing trouble, I'll get angry."

With that said,

Chen Fang felt too embarrassed to say anything more.

He could only watch Fan Xian bustling around.

She was very efficient in her chores.

After throwing the clothes into the washing machine, she began sweeping and mopping the floor, obviously enjoying herself. In Chen Fang's eyes, it seemed impossible to finish the housework in half a day, yet she effortlessly completed everything in less than an hour.

Next, she moved to the kitchen to wash and chop vegetables, and soon sweat appeared on her forehead.

Chen Fang noticed that her trench coat was inconvenient for her.

He said, "Fan Xian, why don't you take off your coat, I'll hang it up for you."

At this suggestion,

Fan Xian became anxious.

She waved her hands continuously, "It's okay, no trouble, I'm used to it."

If she was so proficient in chores, how could wearing a coat be convenient?

Since she refused to take it off, Chen Fang felt it inappropriate to insist.

They kept busy for another hour.

Finally, the dumpling filling and wrappers were ready on the table.

Chen Fang felt uncomfortable just sitting there.

Just as he thought to help out, Fan Xian brought out a bowl of water, and as Chen Fang stepped forward to meet her, they accidentally bumped into each other, spilling almost all the water onto Fan Xian's coat.

"Fan Xian, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just… wanted to help you."

Chen Fang quickly apologized.

Fan Xian laughed and said, "It's fine, it's fine, as long as the bowl isn't broken. I'll get another bowl of water."

She brought out another bowl of water.

Seeing her coat thoroughly soaked, Chen Fang hurriedly said, "Sister, take off your coat, the air-conditioned room will dry it soon, plus I have the heater on, you won't be cold."

"No need, really, it's okay."

Fan Xian waved her hands.

The more she resisted, the more peculiar Chen Fang found it, so he simply went ahead to help her take off the coat.

Fan Xian still resisted, but how could her strength match Chen Fang's?

In the tugging, two not-so-secure buttons popped off.

Part of the sleeve was also torn off by Chen Fang.

Both of them froze instantly at the scene.

Chen Fang was also stunned.

At that moment, he understood why Fan Xian had been so wrapped up in her coat; she wasn't wearing anything under it, she was completely naked.
