"It's just photos and videos, there are countless indecent videos and photos popping up online every day. If everyone wanted to die like you do, the East Sea would probably be filled."

"There was the photo scandal in Hong Kong Island, the one in Hollywood, yet all the main characters are still living magnificently, none of them are thinking about dying."

Lin Jie gave a couple of slightly distant words of persuasion!

Actually, after Ling Mengjiao revealed the reason, Lin Jie noticed the vitality returning to her eyes, knowing she wouldn't easily think of dying again.

Between life and death, there's a great fear. For someone who attempted suicide and failed once, unless they are truly heartbroken or in utter despair, most people won't try again.

Lin Jie spoke again, "People are forgetful. In a few days, the photos and videos related to naked loans will pass. As long as you act a bit carefree and indifferent, those petty-minded people will lose the motivation to stir up trouble."

"What plans do you have for the future? While I'm still feeling a bit soft-hearted, perhaps I can help you out."

Ling Mengjiao looked up at Lin Jie, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm planning to drop out of school, find another job and stay in Binhai. Anyway, I can't go home."

"Then... do you have any requirements for the job?"

"A legitimate job, one that covers my food and accommodation is enough!"

This matter was relatively simple, Lin Jie made a phone call to An Kexin, solving Ling Mengjiao's job issue.

After hanging up the call, he said, "It's all set, you can go to the Weize Building near Henglong Plaza anytime. They'll provide employee accommodation, arrange a training for you first, and whether you choose an administrative or sales job will be up to you."

"Thank you!"

Ling Mengjiao, with red eyes, expressed her thanks and suddenly hugged Lin Jie and started crying.

Initially, her sobs were just suppressed whimpers under control, but gradually, her crying grew louder, eventually turning into uncontrollable wailing.

Lin Jie heard the soft sound of a door being pushed, turned around to see the hospital room door opened with a big gap, with Luo Shanshan, Zhang Daya, and Xiao Qi sticking their heads out to peek.

More than an hour later, with her emotions back to normal, Ling Mengjiao took a public bus and left Zhujia Port to return to the city.

"Dr. Lin, you're amazing!"

"You managed to talk that girl out of suicide with just a few words. You're incredible, absolutely my idol!"

Looking at the uninvited Xiao Qi, whose face was full of pride, Lin Jie pointed to the green radish on the office desk and said blandly, "Was it you who put it here?"

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Those folks brought it when they visited me! I saw that there was no greenery in your office, so I placed a pot for you."

"And there was a bouquet too? Don't you like flowers?"

Xiao Qi looked around, searching for traces of that bouquet.

"I put that bouquet in the bedroom."

Lin Jie explained briefly, then continued, "So, from now on, don't involve yourself in cleaning the office. Let Zhang Daya handle it. You focus on recovering from your injury."

Xiao Qi nodded understandably and said, "Oh, so your office has so many considerations."

"I understand, I won't randomly move your things. Also, I've got too many fruits, so I put some in your fridge this morning."

Lin Jie nodded to show he understood, then waved to send the reluctant Xiao Qi away.

Just after a short while, there was a crisp sound of high heels clicking along the corridor outside the office.

Lin Jie looked up and saw Du Feixue, dressed in a flowing light blue dress and wearing sunglasses, appear at the door.

Du Feixue took off her glasses, smiled subtly, and walked gracefully towards Lin Jie, saying seriously, "Last night, facing Zhao Mo's attack, you didn't dodge, didn't avoid, but stood up and protected me."

"Although your actions were overly bold and reckless, your intentions were good. I've taken note of that."

"Do you want any form of gratitude?"

Lin Jie awkwardly smiled!

Reflecting on last night's actions, he still couldn't figure out why he recklessly rushed up there. Reasonably, he should have fled at the first sign of trouble.

Ultimately, Lin Jie blamed his impulsive behavior on the influence of alcohol, thinking to himself that no matter what, he should avoid drinking again in the future.

The faint fragrance of a woman was refreshing and intoxicating.

Looking at the close proximity of Du Feixue, Lin Jie also stood up, took a small step back, and said, "I just drank a bit too much and momentarily forgot your martial skills."

"If I were sober, I'd definitely keep as far away as possible. I didn't suffer any injuries, so there's no need for you to come over specially."

Du Feixue noticed Lin Jie step back, a flash of a teasing expression crossed her eyes, she took a step forward, almost leaning against Lin Jie, and said sweetly, "In a crisis, a person's instinctual choice reveals their inner self."

"This shows that you're a trustworthy person with excellent medical skills. Building a friendship and getting along with you is what I should be doing most."

She gently tapped Lin Jie's chest with her finger and said coyly, "You have such a kind heart and high medical skills, and I'm still single! Lin Jie, do you... reject a younger man and older woman relationship?"

The closeness and question left Lin Jie bewildered on how to handle it, so he took another step back.

He quickly changed the topic, asking, "How is Zhao Mo?"

Du Feixue's face showed a trace of disgust, and she said resentfully, "To my knowledge, he isn't dead and probably won't die. At the time, I should have ignored others' persuasion and kicked him a few more times."

These words instantly extinguished the little flame that had unintentionally risen in Lin Jie.

Seeing her about to move closer again, Lin Jie retreated another step in panic and continued to ask, "Do you plan to pursue this matter further?"

Du Feixue shook her head, still with a face of disgust!

"Last night at midnight, Zhao Mo's parents came over, ostensibly to apologize, but were implicitly blaming me for being too harsh. Truly like father, like son; they don't consider their own faults, only blame others."

"However, since we're supposed to be friends, this is as far as it goes."

"This situation also opened my parents' eyes to the reality, so there probably won't be further interactions anymore."

Seeing Lin Jie take another small step back, Du Feixue raised the corner of her mouth and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Me, afraid of you? This... how could it be?"

Lin Jie explained, but retreated another step.

This time, there was no space left to back up; his back was already against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Noticing this, he flexed his arm and pointed his finger at her chest, softly saying, "I'm just not used to being this close to you. There's a certain decorum between a man and a woman."

Du Feixue, however, pressed closer, softly leaning against Lin Jie's body, her eyes gleaming enigmatically as she looked at him, "How is it that you don't like an advantage handed to you..."

Suddenly, Du Feixue's expression changed!

With thin summer clothing, she had clearly felt the change in Lin Jie.

Looking at Lin Jie's face, so red it could drip blood, Du Feixue struggled to hold back her laughter!

She suddenly leaned in and lightly pressed her soft lips on Lin Jie's face!

After that brief touch, Du Feixue's body sprang back over a meter like a spring, laughing, "I didn't expect you to be such an innocent young man, so easily teased. Haha..."

"If you really want to, call me, I'll book a room, you understand, right?"
