"I will go." Wang Haixiao took his jacket and went out. "I will also go. Wait for me." When Ji Shuai Lan was wearing his shoes Wang Haixiao was already standing before the lift. Then both of them went to the 24-hour store opposite of them to buy many sparkling candles. 

After they had returned, they decorated the cake with candles. Wang Haixiao took some pictures of the whole table and sent it to the group chat of the company. He also sent some special pictures to Sheng Ruming.

In the hospital ward where Luo Lixi was admitted, currently she was sitting in her bed while Sheng Ruming was feeding her plain bland saltless porridge with so much care and love that... she just wanted to cry and spat the porridge in the basin he made so specially for her.

"Is it good?" Luo Lixi could only nod her head at that. After she had had enough, the man slowly wiped her lips and took the utensils to put them on the table. 

Meanwhile, Sheng Ruming's phone began to buzz. The curious Luo Lixi took it and saw a message from Wang Haixiao. There were several images still coming in the phone. Also Ji Yanli had sent some to him. Thus her fingers itched to go into the chatbox and to see what were those.

"Ruming, someone has sent you some pictures. I want to see them. Can I?"

"Of course, you can!" Sheng Ruming's loud voice came from the attached washroom of the ward. Earlier he went there to wash the bowl and spoon before he packed them.

"Uh-huh, lemme see…" Luo Lixi slowly poked at the screen and entered the chatbox; waited for the images to load. When the images finally showed themselves, she regretted watching them. 

'Now that I am sick and can't enjoy food everyone seems to be having fun. Wait, I also enjoy yesterday's dinner at Sarah's place…' Luo Lixi was lost in her thoughts as she didn't notice Sheng Ruming had so ready come out of the washroom and stared at her.

"Lixi, what are you thinking? Huh? I know you didn't like porridge. Tomorrow I will bring you to the restaurant we were supposed to go yesterday." Sheng Ruming already came beside her and sat on the hospital bed as Luo Lixi made space for him. 

"No Ruming. Not tomorrow. I am gaining weight and I don't like the idea that I can't get fit in my dress. Also…" Luo Lixi turned at her left side and motioned to the two bags of saline and blood. Sheng Ruming saw they were empty.

"The bags have already become empty. Call the nurse to take them back. I can't sleep or move easily with two needles inserted into my skin." After she told him, she leaned back at the bed frame and rubbed her tummy. She felt she was way too full. 

Sheng Ruming stood up and told her, "Wait a minute for me. I will come back with a nurse for you."Luo Lixi nodded as she closed her. Then she heard, "Lixi, my phone."

Luo Lixi was clutching his phone in her left hand. At his reminder, she returned the phone to him. After Sheng Ruming went out and went to bring the nurse who was in charge of taking care of Luo Lixi. He went straight to the receptionist and told the nurse their room number and the reason why he came there. The nurse there told him they had made an emergency situation in their hands so he should wait for her to tell the nurse when she finished the current job she was in. Sheng Ruming nodded as he turned around to return but his phone rang out at that time.

"Hello." Sheng Ruming saw it was the branch manager's number. The man was the chief manager of the New York city's branch of their company.

"Hello, sir. I am…"

"Stop introducing yourself. I know you. Why did you call me at this hour?" Sheng Ruming sounded irritated when he asked the man.

The man on the other side of the phone wiped his head as he replied, "Sir, I have received from the headquarters that you have already arrived here. So I assumed you have come to inspect the branch and other subsidiaries. So I wanted to ask when you will come. I wanted to arrange everything for you beforehand." Sheng Ruming knitted his brows when he heard that. While the man was talking on the phone, he slowly walked aside and came before the glass wall of the hospital. The night sky was visible in front of him.

"I will notify you when I come. Also, I am not coming for inspection. Rather I will stay in New York for many months and will take the head position of the company. Of course, you will remain in the chief position but I will oversee everything."

"Of course, of course." The man replied in a flattery tone as he replied.

"Also, get some things straight. I will…" The man went into full business mode while he temporarily forgot about the nurse matter. He was explaining some matters to the man on the phone while the other one was absorbing everything he was told to. 

Sheng Ruming couldn't possibly remain idle while he would live here for some months. 

Meanwhile Luo Lixi closed her eyes again and tried to calm her nerves down. She didn't like the scent of hospitals anymore. 

'In my whole life, I didn't have to come to the hospital for any reason. But now this year I became comatose and also need to undergo surgery. Huh! My life! Lixiang, if you could know you would have become very happy. I don't like medicine yet I have to take them... ' In the hospital room, Luo Lixi began to talk to herself in her mind. She didn't even know how much time had spent but suddenly she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." Luo Lixi remained seated as she was till now. Even after she had seen Feng Shaoling coming, she didn't change her sitting posture. There was a nurse following Feng Shoaling. Both of them walked before Luo Lixi as she just nodded at them slightly and was quiet.

The nurse went ahead and took out the attached needles in her arms as per Sheng Ruming's request. Luo Lixi flinched when she felt the vague sting but after the woman was done, she relaxed.

"How are you feeling, Miss Li? Any discomfort?" Feng Shaoling asked her but she shook her head in denial.

"Good then." The man talked in Chinese as he sat down on the chair placed beside her bed.

'Why didn't Ruming confirm yet?' She thought as she glanced at the door but there was no sign of him

Feng Shaoling thought she was nervous and thus avoided his gaze. He liked the woman in front of him at the sight and thus he came here especially after he finished his duty today. His professor gave him many small cases and he was at ease that he didn't make any blunder on the first day of his arrival. Though he was tired he came here with the nurse.

Feng Shoaling took the report the nurse gave him but this time, he spent much longer checking her information. The patient's full profile was attached to the front page while her health issues were described on the later pages.

'Li Xixi, 25 years old, blood type... ' He was checking everything when his sight got stuck on the information of her coma. Then he glanced at the woman and saw she was much in better shape as told in the reports.

"Miss Li, which province or city are you from?" Feng Shaoling asked straightforwardly and waited for her to say something.

"Ming city." Luo Lixi didn't think much as she showered the doctor while looking at his eyes. Feng Shaoling felt his heart  thumping against his chest. Her clear black eyes made him think as if he had met her somewhere before. He tried to remember it and felt it was many years ago. 'It can be possible. She is also from Ming City."

"Well, a coincidence. I am also from Ming city." Feng Shaoling adjusted his glasses and told her in his sweet yet elegant smile. Luo Lixi felt his handsome appearance could have made Sheng Ruming wear a green hat if she didn't also like him back.

'My Ruming is also very handsome and very considerate towards me. But…  this man is also very handsome. He is so fair like soft milk. I want to pinch his cheeks.' Luo Lixi had this urge when she saw the man had one dimple on his left cheek.

Luo Lixi thought as she went into another daze. Then suddenly Luo Lixi took her hands and lightly slapped on her head, 'Lixi, Don't think about another man when you promised him you will stay with him forever.'

"Miss Li, are you okay?" Feng Shaoling asked her when he saw her slipping on her head.

"I'm okay, doctor. Were you saying something to me earlier?" Luo Lixi turned her face emotionless when she asked the man. 'Gosh! I really like men with dimples.Oh, my childhood obsession…' Again her sight fell on the left dimple of Feng Shaoling. She slowly went towards the doctor and poked at his left cheek. At her bold action, the other two people were surprised.

"You look very beautiful when you smile, doctor. The dimple is so cute."
