"The name of the hospital?"

Lin Jie demurred, "As per our previous agreement, I'm just a minor shareholder, the kind who doesn't even need to contribute financially. You all can decide the hospital's name, I have no objections!"

An Kexin insisted, "How could that be! You're the soul of the hospital; you must make a suggestion for the name!"

Lin Jie was a bit troubled then.

Although he was filled with medical knowledge, in other aspects, he'd mainly inherited some practical skills from Shen Lanruo, like car racing and language abilities. In terms of cultural refinement, his progress didn't seem particularly significant.

He mulled it over for a while and said, "Your surname is An, mine is Lin. This hospital is primarily our joint establishment; I propose we call it Anlin Hospital. The name is simple and memorable and has some significance."

An Kexin agreed wholeheartedly, "That's indeed a good name; I will formally report this suggestion to my father."

Seeing her speaking so seriously, her expression a bit tight, Lin Jie thought of something and asked, "Kexin, did you already anticipate that I would choose this name?"

An Kexin burst out laughing, shaking with laughter for quite a while before she managed to stop, saying, "Actually, when my dad and I suggested names for the hospital, this was also the first name we thought of first."

"Dad even said, 'Great minds think alike. You would surely think of this name too.'"

Lin Jie sighed a long "oh," somewhat displeased, and said, "So you're giving face, eh? Knowing that I would also suggest this name, you deliberately asked me to suggest it to show that you value me!"

An Kexin cast a bewitching gaze at Lin Jie and, with a smile, said, "I sincerely asked you to give your opinion on the hospital's name. Heaven can be my witness!"

Lin Jie focused on eating and ignored her with disdain.

However, he felt a little excited inside. Having his surname in the hospital's name was truly an honor!

As they finished the hot pot, An Kexin said in a heavy tone, "Li Donghai ultimately gave up on the liver transplant surgery that wouldn't have had much impact. Yesterday, Fei Xue's cousin had uterus tumor removal surgery, but during the surgery, signs of tumor metastasis were discovered."

Lin Jie fell silent for a moment and said, "Those two are already in the past for me. There's no need to bring up news about them in the future."

An Kexin nodded without speaking.

The two walked back to the clinic under the night sky, and Lin Jie noticed his red MINI car parked in the clinic's courtyard.

When he and An Kexin reached the second-floor hospital corridor, Lin Miao came out of a room holding the Shiba Inu, Lele.

"Hello, Kexin!"

Lin Miao greeted An Kexin and said to Lin Jie, "Brother, Li Ting heard that Fang Yan was having surgery today and wanted to come over, so I came over with her."

Lin Jie nodded and entered the ward.

Fang Yan had already woken up, her face bandaged like a mummy, with only her eyes, nostrils, and mouth exposed. However, since there was still a tube in her mouth, she couldn't speak yet.

Li Ting sat by the bedside, typing on her phone to chat with Fang Yan.

Seeing this, Lin Jie felt his head full of black lines, really doubting the intelligence of Li Ting, the top student from a prestigious university.

He couldn't help but say, "Tingting, Fang Yan can't speak for now, but you can. Her ears aren't blocked; she can hear you."

With this reminder, Li Ting realized her foolishness, stood up, giggled, and said, "I'm used to texting on my phone, so without thinking..."

"Kexin!"

Li Ting saw An Kexin entering the room and, after a brief pause, greeted her with a smile.

"Tingting, hello!"

An Kexin came in holding the Shiba Inu, and after responding to Li Ting's greeting, she petted the Shiba Inu with a satisfied look and said to Lin Jie, "I also really like dogs and have always wanted to raise one, but I'm too busy with work and don't have the time."

Lin Jie examined the recovering Fang Yan and then removed the tube from her mouth, speaking softly, "This tube is to prevent blood seeping from your mouth from entering your windpipe!"

"Now that you're awake, you don't need it anymore."

Lin Jie also warned, "The effects of the anesthesia haven't completely worn off yet, but in another hour or two, you won't be able to sleep due to the pain. If you really can't endure it, call the nurse to give you a painkiller injection!"

"However, if you can bear it, do so, as it will help the wound heal faster!"

Fang Yan nodded slightly and hoarsely said, "Compared to emotional torment, I'm not afraid of physical pain. I can endure it!"

Li Ting tugged at Lin Jie's clothes and couldn't help but ask, "Lin Jie, after Fang Yan recovers, will she look prettier than before or... not as good as before?"

Lin Jie noticed the expectation and nervousness in Fang Yan's eyes, along with the concern on An Kexin and Lin Miao's faces.

Women, too often concerned with appearance issues.

Lin Jie sighed inwardly and confidently said, "Beauty or ugliness is closely related to each person's aesthetic view. In my view, Fang Yan looks better after the plastic surgery than before."

Li Ting smiled and said, "Fang Yan, now you can rest easy! Lin Jie means what he says; if he says you've become more beautiful, then you surely have."

"Yes, my brother is really amazing!" Lin Miao didn't forget to praise him.

Li Ting looked at An Kexin and then at Lin Miao, her eyes turning, and said, "Lin Jie, to boost Fang Yan's confidence, I need to validate your aesthetic sense."

"Kexin, Miaomiao, and I, the three of us, you tell us who's the most beautiful according to your aesthetic sense. Rate our looks and rank us!"

Upon this, An Kexin's eyes narrowed with a subtle smile, "Lin Jie, Tingting's suggestion is really good. I also want to know if your aesthetics are the same as the average person, or unique."

Lin Miao also felt competitive and shouted, "Brother, you said before that if I had two more dimples, I'd be perfect, right? So tell me, how do I compare without dimples to Kexin and Tingting?"

Though Lin Jie was a bit low on emotional intelligence, he sensed the atmosphere in the ward change slightly, with An Kexin, Li Ting, and Lin Miao subtly competing.

A beauty ranking? This seemed no longer just about looks!

Lin Jie laughed and said, "In my heart, you all are perfect. One could say it's like spring flowers and autumn moon; each has their own merits, how could you rank them? You're all number one!"

At this, An Kexin, Li Ting, and Lin Miao all seemed a bit dissatisfied and were about to continue questioning Lin Jie!

Just then, he hurried out a few steps and greeted Zhang Daya at the door, saying, "There's a patient on the first floor that Dr. Zhu can't handle? Okay, I'll go down immediately."

Holding a tray of medicine, Zhang Daya was baffled, ready to speak, but Lin Jie had already disappeared around the stairway corner like the wind.

As Zhang Daya replaced Fang Yan's IV bag and injected some anti-inflammatory drugs, An Kexin smiled and said, "I came here to discuss the school evaluation and hospital matters with Lin Jie; now that it's over. I should head back."

"Will you all be staying tonight?"

Li Ting replied, "I'm staying with Fang Yan tonight and will head back to school tomorrow morning."

"I'm staying with my brother tonight too!" Lin Miao said, rubbing her stomach, "We came in a hurry, and Tingting and I haven't had dinner yet!"
