Chapter 91 Christmas Gifts
At night, A Miao was going to take a shower, but Shen Xinglan said,
âWe will go out and you can take a bath after we come back.â
A Miao looked at her watch and said, âItâs almost eleven oâclock, how can you go out like this?â
âHelp me wear my clothes.â Shen Xinglan pointed to the closet and said.
A Miao had to dress him. Before she finished, Shen I and Shen II came in with a bed.
âMy young lady!â Shen I waved at her and these two carefully moved him to the bed after Shen Xinglan got ready.
Seeing A Miao in a daze, Shen Xinglan poked her face and said, âCome on, put on your coat. Letâs go out.â
A Miao quickly put her coat on, carrying the bag and following them out of the hospital. When they got downstairs, Shen Xinglan was moved into the car again. He kept lying all the way until the car stopped again.
âWhere is this?â A Miao felt that the car had been driving for a long time, and it was still dark outside, she seemed to faintly hear the sound of water.
The bed where Shen Xinglan lied down had undergone a miraculous transformation into a wheelchair because of Shen IIâs pressing somewhereâŚ
A Miao anxiously said, âThis⌠can you sit? Is your wound okay?â
âItâs okay to sit for a while.â Shen Xinglan nodded at Shen I, and Shen I opened the door and even moved him with the wheelchair.
âWait a minute!â A Miao took out a paper bag from her bag and said, âI donât know if you will like it or not, but I⌠I will give you this as a Christmas present.â
She handed the gray scarf to Shen Xinglan, and awkwardly looked down at her shoes.
âHelp me wear it.â Shen Xinglanâs voice was clearly pleased, and when A Miao raised her head, and she found that there was a flash of tenderness in his resolute eyes.
She hastily wrapped the scarf around Shen Xinglanâs neck, and also tied a loverâs knot that she learned online.
âOkay⌠OkayâŚâ She peered at it and thought it was quite good.
Shen Xinglan agreed and held her hand and said, âLetâs go!â
After a few steps forward, there was a smell. A Miao squinted a little bit and asked, âWe are at the beach?â
âPia!â The moment she finished asking, her eyes lit up.
The coastline was close at hand, with wooden paths underneath and colorful giant lampposts on either side. Each top was still blowing bubbles outward.
ââŚâ A Miao smirked and exclaimed, âThis isâŚâ
Da da da⌠There was a beam of light moving closer from afar. When it came close, she found that it was a carriage.
âOh, my god!â She turned back fiercely, and Shen Xinglan lifted his chin over there.
Two white horses were trotting all the way, with long pointed horns on their heads, a silver-colored saddle on their backs, and a shining purple carriage behind them.
âOne day, there will be a beautiful carriage to pick me up, and then take me to Prince Charming, and we will enter a dream paradise together.â
Shen Xinglanâs voice echoed on the empty beach, but A Miao was already amazed and froze.
âYou⌠how did you know?â This was the diary she wrote when she was in junior high school!
âOnly you can write this kind of stupid wish in your diary.â Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows and said. He was asking for a beating.
Her excitement was gone at once. A Miao wanted to pout, but the carriage had already stopped in front of her.
âSo, are you willing to go to Dreamland with Prince Charming?â Shen Xinglan reached out his hand, and even the brilliant lights could not cover his deep, soulful eyes.
A Miaoâs eyes were inexplicably hot, and her feelings felt unstoppable in her heart. She was powerless to resist and gave in easily.
âI do!â Holding back her tears, she put her hand in his palm.
The only disharmonious thing was that they had to move the wheelchair upâŚ
The carriage was walking along the coastline, and A Miao was held by Shen Xinglan. It seemed that even the winter sea breeze was not so cold.
âIs there really a dreamland?â She couldnât help but ask.
Shen Xinglan squeezed her hand and said, âThere is nothing impossible in this world, only something that you cannot do.â
âBut⌠I am afraid that your body canât afford it.â A Miao was worried, touching his chest.
âWe are arriving.â Shen Xinglan suddenly said.
A Miao looked up and saw a huge carousel as well as colorful lights shining like the daylight.
However, Shen Xinglan said with a disgusted expression, âIt will only be like this today. I will take you to a better place next year.â
âThank youâŚâ A Miao turned back to look at him.
âGo and have a look.â Shen Xinglan unnaturally tore his eyes away.
If you looked closely, you could see his ears turn red againâŚ
A Miao rode on the wooden horse, with Shen Xinglan sitting next to her in a wheelchair. Without knowing how many laps it turned, they just stopped to go back after Shen Xinglan found A Miaoâs nose turn red from the cold.
âI think I will never forget tonight, ever.â Sitting in the warm car, A Miao exclaimed with a cup of tea.
But Shen Xinglanâs gaze was as if he had no such desire, and he said, âThere will be many such nights in the future. You canât remember all of them.â
âNo!â A Miao nodded with certainty and said, âI will definitely remember.â
âSo, if I can get something back.â Shen Xinglan suddenly looked at her meaningfully and said.
A Miao, however, blankly looked at him, until Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand and touched her two legs, A Miao reacted with her face getting red.
But unfortunately, Shen Xinglan finally didnât realize his wish. Because he started sneezing halfway, his temperature had risen to thirty-nine degrees until arriving at the hospital.
âItâs all my fault, I should have let him come back earlier.â A Miao was anxious and guilty, standing on the side of the bed, and Le Yi was checking up Shen Xinglanâs body with a serious look.
Shen Xinglan said to Le Yi with dissatisfaction, âYour face is scaring A Miao.â
âShut up.â Le Yi, who had always been gentle, shot him a glare and said.
A Miao asked with a faint voice, âIs⌠is his illness serious?â
âIt is best to drop the fever by tomorrow, or you will have to enter the intensive care unit.â Le Yi said so, but he did not show any mercy in his hands, pressing hard when changing gauze.
Looking at the dyed gauze, A Miao was too grieved to say, âThe wound has opened again. These days were vain.â
âIt didnât heal at all!â Le Yi said with a bad temper, âFrom now on, except for going to the toilet, you canât go anywhere, just lie on the bed. If I find out that you moved by yourself, you will never leave the bed in your life.â
Sending away the angry Le Yi, A Miao sat next to Shen Xinglan with her head down. Once he saw her cute look, Shen Xinglan couldnât help but be softhearted.
âMy stupid girl, Iâm fine. Iâll recover by tomorrow!â
A Miao curled her lip, putting his hand back on the bed, and said, âDonât move again. Be careful, or the wound will split open again.â
âThen you can come closer and kiss me. It wonât hurt this way.â Shen Xinglan didnât want to give up the benefits he deserved tonight. Even though he couldnât do anything else, he could still kiss.
In order not to let him move, A Miao got closer with a red face, she rarely took the initiative.
This night, these two people didnât sleep well. A Miao was worried about his fever, and she woke up for a while to subconsciously touch his forehead.
Shen Xinglan wasnât an ordinary person, so he wouldnât fall in a deep sleep just because of a fever. So every time A Miao woke up, he knew. But he didnât want to bother her, so he always pretended to be asleep.
âThe fever is gone.â After finishing his body temperature check in the early morning, Le Yi finally looked better.
A Miao happily washed his face, and then heard Shen Xinglan say,
âOver there!â A Miao pointed to somewhere and replied.
Shen Xinglan said, âHelp me wear it.â
âNo!â A Miao decisively refused and said, âWhere do you want to go again?â
And there was a pfft from Le Yi, âHe doesnât want to go anywhere, he just wants to wear the scarf you gave him.â
Lying on the bed and wearing a scarfâŚ
A Miao pouted with her mouth.
âAre you not hot?â After seeing him wearing it with a press subsequently, A Miao couldnât help but ask.
Shen Xinglan shook his head faintly and explained, âI am a patient. I am cold.â
âZe-ze! I went out to have breakfast. I will bring some back for you. The porridge in the restaurant nearby is very good!â Le Yi said, walking away from the door, and A Miao quickly followed up to send him off.
Out of the door, Le Yi paused for a while. A Miao knew that he had something to say.
âDid you notice that?â Le Yi asked.
A Miao nodded and replied, âSometimes he is veryâŚâ
âHis possessiveness makes him paranoid.â Le Yi followed her words and, âBecause Shen never felt that he had anything.â
Seeing A Miaoâs eyes blinking, Le Yi shook his head and said, âMoney and rights are not included. As for us, this is nothing but a condition that can be left unattended.â
âI mean, please be more tolerant!â Le Yi said with a smile, âI am afraid that you will be scared off.â
When Le Yi left, A Miao was in a daze for a while.
She was really not scared. Later on, Le Yi analyzed this problem and thought that A Miao just complemented with Shen Xinglan because she lacked love from a young ageâŚ
When this Christmas was about to pass, there was a very unexpected guest.
âHello Mr. Shen, I am a senior police officer, Ling Lang.â This afternoon, a woman, with a tall and slender but seemingly powerful appearance, appeared in the ward.
Shen Xinglan waved his hand, and Shen II took a few steps back, but A Miao looked at Shen Xinglan with a peaceful glimpse.
âI know that Mr. Shen is recuperating. I just came to say a few words.â She impolitely took the chair and sat down, raising a photo.
âI donât know if Mr. Shen has any impressions of this jade pendant?â
A Miaoâs eye was brightened, but it was caught on the spot by Ling Lang.
âSo, this is Mr. Shenâs fiancee. Do you know this jade pendant?â
âOf course!â A Miao smiled towards Ling Lang and said, âWe went to the auction before, and I liked it very much. But it is not for sale.â Then she showed a blank lookâŚ
âMaâam, is there anything wrong with this jade pendant?â
Ling Lang looked at her and said, âThe organizer called the police two days ago and said that jade pendant was swapped with a fake one.â
âAh?â A Miao was even more awkward and asked, âWhat⌠What do you mean?â
Shen Xinglan squeezed her hand and explained, âShe meant that someone had changed it at the auction.â
âYes.â Ling Lang nodded and said, âBecause the organizer said that the jade pendant has been placed in the safe box after the auction. It was monitored for 24 hours. It is impossible for people to change it at this time, so they now suspect that it was changed at the auction.â
After listening to her words, Shen Xinglan picked at his mouth and asked, âNow, are you doubting me?â
