Xiao Ling didn't speak, but crossed his arms and glanced at Shen Yuan with a smile in his eyes.

Shen Yuan beckoned inside: "Come in, everyone!"

The five people worked in the backyard for most of the day and finally prepared a large New Year's Eve dinner as the sun was about to set.

Shen Yuan took the couplets written by Xiao Ling and pasted them on the doors one by one with the paste prepared by Granny Liu. The main door of the pharmacy was relatively high, so Xiao Ling used a ladder to paste it. Shen Yuan and Jiang Yuchen pasted the doors of the other small rooms together.

After the couplets and lucky dolls were pasted up on the door, the pharmacy was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Granny Liu called out, "A-Ling, you can eat after you set off the firecrackers!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling lit the firecrackers placed at the entrance of the pharmacy.

The crackling sound of firecrackers rose and fell in waves.

A fire was burning in the stove inside, and everyone sat around a large round table, raising their glasses in celebration.

After a few rounds of drinks, Shen Yuan was a little dizzy, but still relatively sober. She put down her wine glass, looked at Granny Liu, Xiao Ling, Xiao Jinmeng, and Jiang Yuchen, shook her head, and said with a smile, "Happy New Year!"

This was the happiest year Shen Yuan had ever lived, both in her previous and current lives. In this year, she opened a shop, learned medicine, earned a lot of money, and made so many friends.

Shen Yuan truly wished time could stand still in this moment.

But she knew… Thinking of this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes, but she quickly raised Xiao Ling's glass and said to everyone, "Come! Let's drink another cup, wishing us many more years like this!"

Having said that, Shen Yuan picked up her wine cup, intending to drink first as a sign of respect.

But Xiao Ling suddenly grabbed her hand and snatched the wine glass from her hand.

Shen Yuan turned her head, drunkenly leaning closer to Xiao Ling: "You've been taking medicine and getting acupuncture lately, so you can't drink alcohol. Give me back my wine..."

"Ah Yuan, you're drunk."

Xiao Ling put down his wine glass, his voice low and gentle.

Shen Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and she sobered up halfway.
