Sheng Ruming asked after a second, "How about we go to an art museum?" He clearly remembered,  in the past, when they were teenagers, she mentioned something like going to a place like this. It was one of her wishes, an innocent dream.

Luo Lixi paused when she heard that. Then, she shook her head after a few seconds of being motionless. 

"Don't want to."

"Why? Didn't you want to go to a place like this in the past?!" The man asked in displeasure. He always had a hunch that sometimes Luo Lixi tried to deny something even if she thought otherwise.

Luo Lixi turned towards him and then said in a sad voice, "In the past, I wanted to do a lot of things more than that but I couldn't. Now I don't have those childish wishes anymore…" 

Her whispers sounded too heartbreaking for Sheng Ruming. Even if she wanted to hide her helpless feelings, he detected it right away.

The man strode towards her and engulfed her in a warm embrace.

"Even though we are adults now, it's not too late to fulfil our childish wishes. What do you say? Let's go there, together."

Luo Lixi lifted her head and softly smiled. Even though she was reluctant, she would go with him.

After thirty minutes, a loving couple was seen strolling in a famous art museum of the city.

Sheng Ruming tightly grasped Luo Lixi's hand throughout the whole time and didn't let it go. The man didn't even fear that he might get photographed at that time and they might get exposed because soon, he didn't have this intention anymore.

'It would be best if that happens.' Sheng Ruming thought as he turned towards hehe woman who was busy looking around the art gallery.

"Lixi…"

"Hmm." The lady was staring at a famous piece of art when he called out. When she didn't get any response further, Luo Lixi lifted her head and looked at him.

"Your childish dream has finally come true." Sheng Ruming tightened his hold of her when he said. 

Luo Lixi didn't respond but said, "Yes, thank you." This time, she didn't hold back and smiled broadly at him.

The man was surprised for a mere second. Then, he turned away and covered his mouth with his left hand. The tip of his ears became red soon. He found himself smiling too.

Luckily, there weren't many people beside them in that area. He straightened his back and began to talk about the thing Luo Lixi was looking at.

The man's full attention was on the woman the whole time. The art or piece of things which were precious than gold, were worthless before him!

Two day later…

Around 11 pm, in a doctor's chamber.

The skin surgeon was surfing through Luo Lixi's past records.

Both Sheng Ruming and she were there. The female surgeon put down the records and took her hand to check.

After a while, she retracted her hand and asked, "Are you an actress or something like that?"

"No." Luo Lixi answered swiftly. 'Do I look like one?' The lady became shy at once.

Sheng Ruming sighed inwardly when he saw her happy complexion. Thus, he decided to speak, "She's an office worker."

The doctor put down her glasses and joined her two palms and placed them on the table before her.

"Let me be frank with you two. Your wrist has undergone a hand surgery and it was very risky. You might have even lost your ability to use your hand."

The two people were momentarily dazed even though they knew. Luo Lixi didn't fret out because now everything is alright. Her hand is safe.

The doctor pulled her hand and talked in a deep voice, "People always think skin surgery or plastic surgery can solve their problems but they are delusional. In your case, it's grave."

The doctor talked about physical pain she would have to undergo during the process.  The most common complaints after plastic surgery include nausea, vomiting, headaches and prolonged pain, blood loss, possible allergic reactions.

Luo Lixi felt like her soul had already left her body. She didn't really want this but because Sheng Ruming insisted, she compromised.

"How can this be so complicated?!" 

Throughout the whole time, Sheng Ruming was silent.

"The most dangerous case that can happen to you is… nerve and vein injury. Do you want to take the risk?"

Luo Lixi hurriedly took back her hand. 'If something happens to my right hand, my life will be over!"

Luo Lixi shook her head. "I don't want it." Then, she turned towards Sheng Ruming, "Ruming, I don't want to."

Sheng Ruming seemed to be in deep thoughts as he stared at the doctor. Then, Luo Lixi clutched his hand and shook it greatly.

"I don't want any surgery anymore. My hand is alright as it is now." 

The man slowly nodded his head, "Alright then." He stood up before her and took the file from the table. Then, Luo Lixi thanked the surgeon for warning her beforehand and walked out from the room.

After they were gone, the surgeon released the breath she was holding into. The apprentice doctor, who was there to gain experience,  asked the surgeon in confusion.

"Madam, the surgery was possible. Why did you scare her away?" The young man was curious as to why she did that.

"That man called me yesterday and asked to discourage this lady against it. I was in doubt but then he is her fiance. It's alright. Sometime, you will see such cases."

As Sheng Ruming walked along Luo Lixi in the corridor of the hospital, he saw from the corner of his eyes that Luo Lixi was anxious. 

"If you don't want it then it's okay. It's just a hand injury. No need to feel inferior because of this trivial matter."

Luo Lixi stopped in her tracks and puffed her cheeks. "In the past, you didn't say this. You even…"
