It was the beautiful morning of December 31, when the united family, along with their new member Wang Yibo, was gathered in MianMian's ward. It was like a routine, already, to start their day with a hospital visit.
Even Dodge was part of the visitors group, as the cat was living now in the Jin residence, in the twins' care.After Yibo got a phone call, he excused himself, as a neighbor announced to him that a pipe had exploded and it might be a danger for some apartments to get flooded.
He rejected Xiao Zhan's offer to come along, knowing that NaiNai asked him to accompany her to the supermarket to buy some last hour groceries for the New Year feast."It is possible that nothing would happen, no need to come with me, thank you Zhan Ge. They informed me to be at home, just in case. A team of plumbers is already there, taking care of the problem.
Of course NaiNai, don't worry, I will be there in time for the New Year party! How could I miss tasting all those promised delicious surprises?", he smiled at NaiNai's hug, before hurrying out the ward.It was around four in the afternoon when Mister GuanShan got scared at a phone call:
"Oh, my god, it's from the hospital!"
His wife, GuangYao and Xiao Zhan, who were in the living room with him, jumped up from their seats with worry written all over their faces."What, what?
Something wrong with her?
Did she wake up?", the questions poured, summoning the other family members, too, who came in running, at their shouts."No, no, nothing like that. They called because our Yibo son forgot his phone at the hospital. And they found it only now, when it rang while a nurse was giving MianMian the medicine."
Same as all the others, Xiao Zhan exhaled in relief:
"Oh, thank god! Even though I admit that my hope that MeiMei woke up was stronger than the fright of something bad.
Meanwhile, I suppose that Yibo should have been extremely distressed that he lost his phone.
I should better go get the phone from the hospital. Poor Perrito, he should be too upset by now, he might not even be in the mood to come for the New Year dinner. I will not wait until he comes here, I will go straight to his home from the hospital and bring him the phone.""Yeah, it's a good idea. I'm coming with you. I have something to do in the town, I will explain to you what, in our way. Besides, I wanted to know where Yibo lives anyways.", GuangYao started getting dressed into his winter jacket, to Xiao Zhan's displeasure.
He would have rather spent some time alone with Yibo, as there would be no chance for that, during the New Year dinner.

"Crap, I can't afford a new phone, but seriously, how the hell did I lose it?
Not now, god dammit Cheng Xiao!", Yibo cursed while looking through the door peephole, after the aggressive, insistent door ringing bell.He unlocked the door in the end, knowing that she will not give up and just go away:
"What? It's New Year Eve, for heaven's sake! Aren't you busy with something else? How many times should I repeat myself that my answer is no?""Don't be such an ass, Wang Yibo!
Firstly I am not here to ask from you any answer, and secondly, you should politely greet me hello and eventually wish me a happy new year!
I'm in a big hurry, actually, but I shortly stopped by because I have something to give you, that's all.
Now, invite me in, it's cold and I wear only this thin blouse!
Don't act like a scared chicken, I'm not gonna do anything to you, ha, ha!", the girl pushed Yibo aside and walked inside his apartment."What's that?", Yibo asked after Cheng Xiao placed a box on the table.
"We got this from work as a New Year bonus besides the money bonus. It's alcohol, some food and sweets, and I don't drink, neither does my father. I am also on a diet right now. As I didn't have anyone to whom to give these, I thought about you, knowing that you always spend the New Year alone and you have no one to cook for you.
I am alone, too, you know, my father is away to the countryside to see his sister. If you'd want, we could keep each other company, no string attached, don't worry.
Uff, someone is at the door."
