On the morning of the next Sunday, Lin Jie's body temperature dropped to 37.8 degrees, still within the range of a low fever.
Under these circumstances, Lin Miao naturally didn't agree to him going to work and asked him to take a leave and stay at home. She also didn't go to the studio to study and stayed with Li Ting to accompany him.
After eating the breakfast prepared by these two, Lin Jie insisted on making lunch himself to spare his stomach!
Actually, it wasn't that Li Ting and Lin Miao's cooking was all that bad!
The meals they cooked were certainly edible, but it's easy to get used to luxury from frugality, hard to go from luxury to frugality.
With the rapid improvement in economic levels, Lin Jie became more particular about food.
His current thought is that life is unpredictable, and now with the means, there's no need to be as thrifty as before in terms of food, clothing, housing, and especially food. His principle is to eat whatever is tasty and eat whatever you feel like.
Just after lunch, Lin Jie received a call from Kong Mingqing!
"Lin Jie, I met with Qin Fang at noon and had a heartfelt conversation."
"He's made his final decision; you don't need to ask Professor Chen. He made the wisest choice between family and outsiders, choosing his family."
This outcome wasn't much different from his expectations. Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Isn't he afraid his wife will cause a fuss when he goes back?"
Kong Mingqing laughed on the phone and said, "Afraid of what? It's rare for him to be this tough, he's not afraid."
"Anyway, the child is also grown up. Besides, no matter how well a woman maintains herself at forty, how good can she look? But it's different for a forty-year-old man, that's when they're particularly attractive to young girls!"
He also advised Lin Jie on the phone, "A wise wife leads to fewer troubles for the husband, Lin Jie, there's still a lot of truth in that old saying."
"When looking for a girlfriend or wife, the focus should be on having a good heart; appearance is secondary!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie couldn't help but silently comment, "Do you keep insisting on saying this because your wife is ordinary-looking yourself?"
Returning to the living room, he saw Lin Miao and Li Ting lying comfortably on the couch like well-fed little pigs, each taking up half of it.
Lin Jie sat down beside Lin Miao!
"This is the happy life, delicious food, a comfortable house, and someone who loves you by your side, what more can you ask for! The pursuit of life is nothing more than this!" Li Ting lamented artlessly!
Lin Miao snorted, "I could enjoy this life forever! But someone else is different, if they turn into a little pig, hey hey, just think about the result yourself!"
Li Ting nudged Lin Miao's foot with her toes and said with a smile, "I'll only get slimmer, never going back to being fat, because I don't have the fat gene in me!"
"I've checked, in both my paternal and maternal relatives, there are no big fat people."
Lin Miao retracted her foot slightly, patted Lin Jie's back with her hand, and curiously asked, "Brother, is being fat hereditary?"
Lin Jie casually said, "There's that factor. If both parents are obese, about 53% of children will become obese; if one party is obese, the genetic rate is about 40%."
"However, having the obesity gene only makes it easier to become obese; it doesn't necessarily mean one will become obese."
"Similarly, some people can't gain weight no matter how much they eat, often due to some issues with their body's digestion or absorption system, but it doesn't mean they can never become obese."
"It has a lot to do with personal lifestyle habits, self-control, and physical exercise!"
For his happiness, Lin Jie didn't forget to give Li Ting a gentle warning, "Miaomiao's reminder you should remember, if you really turn into a fatty, I really won't want you."
Li Ting responded dismissively with a snort, ignoring him!
Lin Miao sat up and put her legs on Li Ting's lap, continuing to threaten, "Tingting, my brother is so outstanding, there will be more and more excellent girls who like him in the future!"
"If you don't work on improving yourself, learning to cook, being thoughtful, learning to take care of others, in the future... hey hey..."
Li Ting gestured at herself with her hand, proudly saying, "With my figure, with my looks, there may not be no girls better than me, but they are rare like phoenix feathers!"
"But girls like them are unlikely to like your brother. So, not to brag, but girls like me who like your brother won't come around again."
Lin Miao snorted coldly, muttering under her breath, "You sure are overly confident..."
Lin Jie timely interrupted them, exclaiming, "Discussing this in front of me is a bit much! When two people are together, the first attraction is naturally the eye contact and each other's looks, but to stay together long-term..."
Just as he was about to express his views on love, Li Ting's phone suddenly rang.
She lazily answered the phone, and after just hearing a word, she immediately sat up and exclaimed, "Fang Yan?!"
"It's really you!"
"Where are you right now? We're all very concerned about you!"
"Oh... I'm at Xiangtai Apartment right now, he's right next to me... hold on!"
Li Ting handed the phone to Lin Jie, saying, "Fang Yan wants to say a few words to you!"
Lin Jie was a bit puzzled, took the phone, and said softly, "Hello, Fang Yan, it's Lin Jie!"
Fang Yan's slightly familiar voice came from the phone, "Lin Jie, hello! I'm currently in Binhai, can I meet you?"
"Sure, you can come directly to my place!"
More than an hour later, Lin Jie and the others saw Fang Yan at home.
Having not seen each other for just one or two months, Fang Yan seemed like a different person, her face haggard, eyes lacking luster, as if she'd aged ten years.
She drank a cup of hot water, dispelling the cold in her body, and forced a smile, "Thank you for not minding gossip and letting me come."
Li Ting gently comforted her, "What are you saying, that's too much. We're roommates, friends, and besides, the police have come to their conclusion, it's not your fault!"
Fang Yan forced a bitter smile and shook her head, saying, "Even though the person wasn't harmed by me, the things we did at that time..."
"To be honest, I went straight home after leaving school."
"I didn't expect this issue somehow spread to my hometown! It's a small city, people's minds are somewhat conservative. The rumors were so bad I couldn't stay at home and came back."
Lin Jie somewhat understood the reason behind her drastic change, asked, "You've come back this time to?"
Fang Yan took a deep breath, resolute, "Returning to Binhai, I want to start afresh and become a different person. Lin Jie, I want cosmetic surgery. Please help me!"
