Mu Xingfeng, often away from home, didn’t know much about his sister and her future fiancé, but seeing his sister react that way to the mention of that person made him somewhat worried.
Mu Wanxin saw Mu Xingfeng’s expression and knew he had taken her seriously. She gave a sheepish smile: "It’s nothing, really. Wenxuan treats me very well, don’t overthink it. Wait, weren’t we talking about you? How did it shift to me? Seriously, do you have a girlfriend or not? The Spring Festival is around the corner, and you spend all your time at the hospital. Do you really think you can find a girlfriend to bring home?"
Seeing his sister’s reaction, Mu Xingfeng sighed in relief, relaxedly lying on the bed: "You don’t have to worry about that, sis. Just get your red envelope ready for my future wife."
"Tch, it’s not the red envelope I care about, I’m just afraid you won’t find anyone to give it to." Mu Wanxin flipped her long hair, leaving a confident silhouette as she exited the ward.
Mu Xingfeng watched her back, eyes deep in thought. Calculating the time, he realized that An Ran would soon be on break. He could only use his own methods by then. After the previous incident, he realized he couldn’t let that girl be on her own anymore. His indulgence only added to her danger. He would not allow that to happen again.
Winter vacation finally arrived. Xiao Xiao, while packing her luggage, looked at An Ran with worry: "Ranran, are you really not going home for New Year? Will you be okay staying here alone?"
An Ran looked up and smiled: "Don’t worry, I have to work during the break to earn my tuition. Besides, that home is no longer necessary to return to."
Thinking of Sun Xuehui and her daughter’s deeds, An Ran really didn’t want to face them again. With the school on break, she couldn’t stay there anymore, so she planned to settle at Longteng Xinyuan.
She initially thought of renting a room, but the thought of Mu Xingfeng made her hesitant. Since he already said they wouldn’t share a room, she trusted his character. Besides, Lin Junyang mentioned that Mu Xingfeng might not return until after the New Year due to his missions, so she could stay there for a while without worrying about his fiancée misunderstanding.
"An Ran, haven’t you saved enough for your tuition yet?" Wang Xiaoyi chimed in from the side.
"An Ran, I think working at the bar isn’t that bad. Look at me, I not only saved enough for my tuition but also have some to take home for the New Year. It’s a shame you don’t want to work there." Wang Xiaoyi, though aware of some incidents An Ran went through, thought she was making a fuss over nothing since An Ran seemed fine.
"It’s not about that, the place and I just don’t get along," An Ran laughed it off, but still reminded her, "Xiaoyi, please be careful while working there."
"Don’t worry, I’m used to it, nothing will happen to me." Wang Xiaoyi was nonchalant, thinking she wasn’t as attractive as An Ran, so no one would target her.
Shen Qi, who had been quietly packing, only greeted everyone and said goodbye when she was about to leave. Wang Xiaoyi called to Shen Qi and left with her.
Guo Xinyi and Sun Beibei seldom stayed in the dormitory, so they didn’t come back to pack their things after the break started. Only Xiao Xiao and An Ran were left in the dorm.
Putting some of her luggage away, Xiao Xiao hugged An Ran: "Ranran, stay safe here by yourself. Call me if you need anything. I’ll come by after the holiday to help you with work."
