As soon as he stepped into Xinyu Cafe, Lin Jie immediately saw An Kexin.

Wearing her professional attire, she was radiant and alluring, drawing the eyes of every customer entering the cafe.

Lin Jie sat down opposite An Kexin, dazedly looking at her.

After not seeing her for a few days, An Kexin seemed even more vibrant. Lin Jie had sought her assistance, partly as an excuse to see her.

An Kexin pushed a glass of water toward Lin Jie and warmly said, "You mentioned a situation on the phone. What's going on?"

Seeing her treat him as usual, with no special closeness, Lin Jie felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

He picked up the glass, took a large sip of water, and finally said, "Someone reported me to the health bureau for illegal medical practice..."

After listening to Lin Jie's story, An Kexin was also indignant, sympathetically saying, "How shameless! Instead of being grateful, they reported you."

"Lin Jie, don't worry. I'll ask my uncle for help. Many in the health system have attended his classes and are his students."

She stated firmly, "Considering the situation at the time, your actions were definitely emergency aid, not illegal medical practice."

Lin Jie nodded, with a relieved smile, saying, "Honestly, I'm not too worried. I have a clear conscience about this incident, as I saved two lives after all!"

"But Luo Shanshan warned me; this incident has put me on the health bureau's radar, so I have to be extra careful in future medical activities."

He said helplessly, "After all, this time can be considered emergency aid, but if it happens again and again, it's going to be a big problem."

An Kexin sighed as well, saying reflectively, "Next time you see similar patients, you should just hold back... watch and do nothing! There are all kinds of people, and the world isn't as good as it used to be!"

"In this society, doing nothing in the face of death is fine, but saving someone can bring trouble."

"By next year, when you enter Medical College and have the status of a medical student as a cover, the situation will improve a lot."

Lin Jie thought of various scams and helping elderly issues on the internet, as well as today's incident, and felt deeply pained.

After a long silence, he asked, "Are all the surgery supplies ready?"

An Kexin took a sip of water and said, "Yes, everything is ready! I prepared double according to your list. The operating room is fully ready and can be used at any time."

Lin Jie forced a smile, nodded, and said, "Yesterday, I took Miaomiao for another comprehensive check-up at the hospital, and there was no change in the blood clot in her brain."

"After today's incident is over, I'll find a suitable time to schedule Miaomiao's surgery."

An Kexin agreed, saying, "I'm also looking forward to Miaomiao's sight being fully restored!"

Feeling Lin Jie's gloomy mood, she held his hand and comforted him, "Although there are inevitably scumbags in society, there are still more good people. I, along with Fei Xue, will do our best to help you."

Lin Jie held An Kexin's hand in return and uncontrollably rubbed the back of her hand, saying, "I understand, I just felt a little frustrated for a moment."

Feeling the smoothness of An Kexin's hand, Lin Jie was briefly swayed by impulse and said, "Kexin, was that night just a physical need or..."

Seeing Lin Jie's burning gaze, An Kexin felt a little flustered.

The decisions she had finally made over the past few days were somewhat shaken.

But she knew deeply that emotions hurt the most, and if not handled well, not only future cooperation but even basic friendship would be difficult to maintain.

Thinking of this, she solidified her resolve!

An Kexin exhaled softly, gently withdrawing her hand, smiling, and said, "Lin Jie, I'm not only a few years older than you, but our living environments, experiences, and habits are also very different."

"Let me give you a simple example!"

As she spoke, An Kexin dug into her bag, pulling out items.

"Miaomiao's cosmetics consist of just one bottle of moisturizing lotion, while you only have a facial cleanser, no makeup at all. Do you know how many different cleansing, moisturizing, nurturing waters, lotions, serums, and nutrient solutions I use every day?"

At this point, the table between them was already filled with lipstick, eyebrow pencils, powder, perfume, and a dozen exquisite bottles labeled in French or Japanese that Lin Jie didn't recognize.

"What you're seeing, Lin Jie, is just what I use to touch up makeup and care for my face when I go out. My dresser is full of all kinds of cosmetics and skincare products!"

Lin Jie understood An Kexin's point.

Their lives were vastly different, making it hard to have common ground. That one time was just a moment of physical impulse and need for her, with no additional emotions involved.

"I understand!"

Although a bit disappointed, he wasn't too upset; after all, he was the one who got the better end of the deal.

Suddenly, Lin Jie thought of a question and could no longer hold back. He said, "Um... um... Kexin, I have a question to ask you, please don't get angry!"

Seeing the heat in Lin Jie's eyes subside, An Kexin felt a slight heartache but forced a smile and made her tone more cheerful, "Go ahead, our relationship is not ordinary, I promise not to get angry!"

Even with her verbal assurance, Lin Jie hesitated for a while before lowering his voice and asking, "Besides me, have you been with anyone else?"

This question made An Kexin's face serious, angrily asking, "Lin Jie, do you think I'm an easy person?"

"No, no! I just..."

Lin Jie waved his hands in a panic, trying to explain, but he didn't know how to continue halfway through.

Seeing him flushed with urgency, An Kexin suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "I'm teasing you; I'm not angry. Let me tell you, I was led astray by Fei Xue."

She beckoned Lin Jie closer, and when he leaned in, she whispered, "My first time was accidentally lost while practicing splits and wrestling with Fei Xue."

"Since then, until now, when needed, I use some tools. That makes you my first real man. Is that satisfying enough for you?"

Lin Jie chuckled dumbly, a feeling of unprecedented satisfaction welling up.

After silly laughter, Lin Jie suddenly realized something and asked in confusion, "You also know wrestling?"

An Kexin nodded, with a playful smile, looking at Lin Jie, saying, "Yeah, dragged by Fei Xue for over a year as a sparring partner, handling a couple of punks is no problem."

Lin Jie grinned inwardly, surprised that the gentle and elegant An Kexin turned out to be a martial artist too.

An Kexin stood up and said, "Come on, you're not in a good mood today. Let me treat you to a nice meal..."

At past nine in the evening, Lin Jie was humming a tune while driving down the road to pick up Lin Miao!

The conversation with An Kexin had cleared up his mind and severed Lin Jie's fantasies. After dinner, another round of exercise completely relieved Lin Jie's frustration.

Suddenly, while driving, Lin Jie felt a chill run through his body.

A cold shiver coursed through him, leaving him cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Lin Jie felt an inexplicable panic and fear, as if the most important person in his life was about to leave him!

"Miaomiao!"

Lin Jie couldn't help but shout, suddenly accelerating the car to its maximum speed, racing towards Shuluotang!
