Before Li An could say anything, the hospital director entered with several department heads and head nurses. He greeted Li Yi first and then personally conducted a routine examination for Li An. With solemn seriousness, he instructed his subordinates on precautions to take, exchanged pleasantries again with Li Yi, and left.

After the commotion died down, only Li Yi, Li An, and Yan Luoxi remained in the spacious ward.

Li Yi looked at the bedridden Li An who couldn’t move, somewhat conflicted. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Lian, there's less than a week till Chinese New Year. Mom and Dad aren't home, so I have to attend the company’s year-end party. Leaving you here makes me uneasy. If you stay another few days until your body recovers more, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, I'll fly over to pick both of you up for the holiday!"

"No need to make such a fuss; I’m not a child anymore and don’t have to be watched over by you. I can still celebrate here," Li An refused his brother's arrangement. All he wanted now was to be with Yan Luoxi, wherever she was was heaven for him.

Li Yi cleverly understood his little brother’s thoughts but remained hesitant. In his heart, both Yan Luoxi and Li An were still children. Now that they were ill, how could he leave two sick kids alone in a foreign place during the New Year He couldn’t bear to.

Just as he was contemplating this, hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor outside their ward. Li Yi’s brows furrowed slightly as the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Oh my, where have you been hiding, little brother We've had a hard time finding you!" Ming Zixi, who entered first, exclaimed dramatically at seeing Li An in bed. In reality, he was already excitedly rubbing his hands together. Upon spotting Li Yi standing by the side, however, Ming Zixi immediately composed himself.

Su Junhe, Shao Meizhuo, Ruan Weijie, and Wu Tiantian followed behind him in a grand procession, walking in with clattering footsteps. They were all at a loss for what to do, chattering away until they saw Li Yi standing inside the ward and became quiet.

Li An looked at this group of people entering; lying there stiffly and straight as a board, his smile no longer bright and joyful like before. "Oh my God, how did you all get here"

"Big Brother! You're also here!" Ming Zixi temporarily ignored Li An's cold treatment and put away his silly grin, greeting Li Yi with great respect. Even though Li Yi was about the same age as him, he inexplicably felt nervous whenever he saw Li Yi and wanted to call him "big brother."

Li Yi indeed had a big-brotherly presence; standing before these people gave off an imposing aura that set him apart from them. These young masters and misses who usually looked down on everyone else and were extremely unruly stood beside Li Yi, calling him "big brother" in proper fashion.

Seeing the sudden appearance of these few individuals, Li Yi came up with an idea. He glanced at Li An out of the corner of his eye; seeing his older brother's gaze made Li An's heart flutter nervously.

Indeed, things proceeded as he had imagined. His beloved big brother gave a warm smile to everyone and asked concernedly, "How did you all come here Aren't you going home for the New Year"

Ming Zixi was like a reincarnated Sun Wukong; understanding Li Yi's intent immediately, he hurriedly answered, "We originally wanted to gather together to celebrate the New Year. When we heard that Li An came to Hainan, we all came over here to play with him. Now that he is injured, we will spend the New Year at the hospital with him."

Li An's head buzzed; before he could say anything, Shao Meizhuo and Wu Tiantian, unwilling to be ignored, were already cheering happily on the side, "Oh my gosh, this is great! We can all spend the New Year together in Hainan!"

"What's so good Hainan is paradise, you guys go there eighty times a year! My illness requires rest, you can spend your New Year wherever you like and don't bother me here!" Li An bluntly criticized Shao Meizhuo and Wu Tiantian for their joy.

"Why are you doing this, Li An They're being nice to keep you company during the New Year, why do you speak to them like that!" Li Yi sternly reproached his younger brother.

"Yes, Li An. Why do you make your big brother so sad" Ming Zixi feigned profound sadness.

"Stop acting! What are you sad about Just showing up is enough, lead them away quickly!" Li An was thoroughly fed up. He had no idea who spread the news to bring this group here; it seemed like they were deliberately spoiling his peace.

"Li An, don't talk like that," Li Yi's face turned cold as he assumed a brotherly demeanor, "Given your current condition, I'm not comfortable leaving you here. And I don't have the time to be with you anyway. Conveniently, Zixi and company are here; they can help take care of some things for you, so I'll feel better about leaving if you leave them in charge. Why do you insist on being difficult"

Li An was stunned by his elder brother's roar. Although he didn't want Ming Zixi and the others to stay here at all, considering what his big brother said made sense, he reluctantly pursed his lips.

Ming Zixi heard that they had successfully stayed behind and was overjoyed. He pretended to be serious in front of Li Yi and solemnly guaranteed, "Big Brother, rest assured, we will take good care of Li An. When you see him next time, he's sure to be up and about like a lively kid."

Li An warned Ming Zixi for his excessive acting, “If you dare to act again now, get out!”

Li Yi didn't scold his younger brother this time for his rudeness. He knew that Ming Zixi had a much closer relationship with Li Yi than he did, and while Ming Zixi was somewhat unconventional, he was actually quite shrewd.

With Ming Zixi here looking after Li An, Li Yi felt reassured. He then gave some instructions to Shao Junhe and Ruan Weijie before turning to Shao Meizhuo and Wu Tiantian: "Meizhuo, Tiantian, you both have known Luo Xi since childhood. This time, the three of you girls need to work together and create a festive atmosphere!"

"Yes, big brother." The obedient Wu Tiantian, who had always been afraid of Li Yi since her youth, immediately agreed when he gave his instructions.

Shao Meizhuo could tell from the meaning behind Li Yi's words that he was asking her not to be hard on Yan LuoXi. She nodded but felt distressed—why were they all showing favoritism towards this girl who came from a poor alleyway, this penniless little maid

When rivals meet, their eyes burn with envy. As soon as Shao Meizhuo entered the room and saw Yan LuoXi, her head was spinning.

Li An had been disappearing and reappearing mysteriously recently, hiding from them all over the place. Shao Meizhuo vaguely sensed something amiss but never imagined that Li An would actually be hanging around with Yan LuoXi again.

The year was coming to an end and there were too many things happening at work and home to manage both simultaneously.
