This incident gave Xia Mingwei hope, and she decided to start providing Li Ming with proper nutrition from now on.

She turned her head and looked at Li Ming with a smile. This left Li Ming, who was lying in the hospital bed, somewhat bewildered. At this moment, he had no idea what was about to happen to him. Following Xia Mingwei, he smiled as well.

And so, with Xia Mingwei feeding him in various ways, Li Ming was discharged from the hospital three weeks later, and he looked much plumper than before.

Xia Mingwei looked at Li Ming and was very satisfied with the result.

Xia Mingwei is now truly experiencing the joy of being a "mommy fan." Feeding her baby and helping him grow fat is incredibly fulfilling. Watching him eat with gusto makes her feel like she could eat two big bowls of rice herself.

On the third day after Li Ming was discharged from the hospital, Xia Mingwei finally learned the reason why he was delivering food.

That noon, Li Ming made a special appointment to meet Xia Mingwei.

Xia Ming was slightly surprised to see Li Ming acting so mysteriously. Logically speaking, they hadn't been in contact at this point in time.

"What's wrong? Why did you ask me to meet at this time? Is there something you need?" Xia Ming asked Li Ming with a puzzled look.

Li Ming didn't say anything, but simply handed over a box.

"Why don't you open it and see for yourself?" Li Ming shrugged and said casually.

Xia Mingwei was even more puzzled, wondering what Li Ming was up to.

She opened the box and saw a delicate little necklace lying there quietly. The entire necklace was made of crystal, and it shone brightly in the sunlight.

Looking at the necklace, Xia Mingwei still didn't understand Li Ming's intention and asked, "Why did you give me a gift all of a sudden?"

Hearing Xia Mingwei's answer, Li Ming was somewhat stunned. He wondered if he had remembered the date wrong.

Thinking of this, he asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Isn't today your birthday?"

Upon hearing the word "birthday," Xia Mingwei was momentarily dazed, realizing that she hadn't heard anything related to "birthday" in a long time.

The reason was simple: her periodic checkups consistently yielded less than ideal results. Remembering the doctor's assessment after Xia Mingwei's birth, her father refused to accept it. Therefore, he forbade any mention of "birthdays" in Xia Mingwei's life. Over time, Xia Mingwei almost forgot the existence of "birthday presents."

Actually, Xia Mingwei's father's actions are not entirely incomprehensible. After all, what father in the world could watch his daughter's life countdown and be completely helpless? As his daughter's age drew ever closer to 20, was he supposed to eagerly anticipate her birthday? Xia Mingwei's father felt he was just an ordinary person and couldn't bring himself to do something so cruel.

As she thought about everything concerning herself, Xia Mingwei's thoughts drifted further and further away.

"So is today your birthday?" Seeing that Xia Mingwei was out of sorts, Li Ming waved his hand in front of her eyes, hoping to bring her back to her attention.

Xia Mingwei felt that although she couldn't predict her future, she just wanted to enjoy the present moment in this limited time.

So she nodded emphatically to Li Ming, "Yes, it's my birthday!"

Seeing Xia Mingwei admit it, Li Ming started rambling on. "This necklace is a birthday gift for you. Are you satisfied with it? Perhaps with your family's wealth, you don't lack such a small thing, but you've helped me so much, so I still wanted to express my gratitude! From my own perspective, I hope you won't dislike this little gift. It's the best gift I can give you right now!"

Xia Mingwei listened quietly to these words, then waved her hands repeatedly, "This is your kind gesture, of course I won't mind!"

She then immediately put the necklace on and said seriously, "Thank you, Li Ming! I really like this birthday present!"

Hearing Xia Mingwei's reply, Li Ming seemed relieved and said with a smile, "I'm glad you like it. That's what makes this necklace worthwhile!"

Seeing his radiant smile, Xia Mingwei's mood improved, and she smiled too.

However, in that instant, a few fragments flashed through Xia Mingwei's mind, and she suddenly thought of something, "Although the crystal necklace isn't particularly expensive, such an exquisitely crafted necklace must have cost a considerable amount. Where did Li Ming get the money right now?"

She pulled Li Ming close, staring intently at his face, and asked, "Did you go to deliver takeout because you wanted to give me a gift?"

Li Ming didn't expect that Xia Mingwei would guess his little scheme so quickly. After a long while, he stammered and couldn't say anything.

Xia Mingwei closed the lid and said to Li Ming with a serious expression, "Li Ming, do you still remember that your dream is to be an idol?"

"Of course I remember!"

"Remember this: in your future life, nothing and no one is worth taking risks for! Do you understand?"

Li Ming was stunned by what she said. Although he did not fully understand the meaning behind Xia Mingwei's words, he still nodded solemnly.

In fact, Xia Mingwei's advice to Li Ming wasn't unfounded. During the final period of the original owner's life, her health had deteriorated significantly. And at that very moment, her beloved Candy was also experiencing cyberbullying.

This cyberbullying was unprecedented in scale and came on strong. Opening a website and searching for information related to "candy" yielded nothing but negative accusations. Online comments were overwhelmingly negative.

"Someone that tall can be an idol? Are you kidding me? If he can be an idol, I think I can be one too!"

"Idol Candy was actually slacking off on stage. She's really gotten arrogant after becoming famous!"

"Someone so ugly can become an idol? We used to be able to say he relied on his talent, but now even that's not enough!"

"You can tell just by looking at him; ugly people always cause trouble!"

"Please, please, the company should make him get plastic surgery! I feel like throwing up looking at his ugly face every day!"

"Not only does he disrespect his seniors, but he also verbally abuses the staff. This kind of person is dragging the whole group down. He should just leave the group!"

"We've spent so much money on you, and this is how you treat us?"

……

The internet was flooded with all sorts of negative comments, and suddenly Candy's reputation plummeted. Even passersby would hurl insults at her.
