In a dreamy haze, Lin Jie felt a soft and slippery little tongue licking his face.

Just as he was about to respond enthusiastically, a moment of clarity stilled his impulse — no girl he knew was this passionate and bold!

Lin Jie reached out and hugged!

As expected, he embraced a furry, very restless little creature!

At that moment, Lin Miao's giggling voice came from beside him, "Brother, get up quick. Lele was bored all day yesterday, so I took him to the park early this morning, and he ran around like crazy, wore me out."

Hugging Lele, Lin Jie turned over, unwilling to pay attention to Lin Miao, muttering: "What time is it anyway? I want to sleep a bit more."

"Bro, it's already past nine. Get up quick, Kexin is still waiting for you in the living room!"

Past nine?!

Lin Jie opened his eyes and looked at the electronic clock on the nightstand, which displayed "0927."

After having the buffet last night, Lin Jie returned home around eleven, not much later than usual.

Usually, his biological clock was pretty accurate; he'd wake up around half past six without needing an alarm.

Perhaps because he had completed a task that weighed on his mind last night, he was completely relaxed.

Lin Jie yawned, sat up, and as his arm relaxed, Lele sprang off the bed and ran to Lin Miao's leg.

Seeing Lin Miao dressed in a sporty outfit, clearly having just returned from the park, he asked, "Aren't you going to Teacher Li Hong's place for your lesson today? Planning to slack off?"

Lin Miao pouted, saying: "The teacher said to combine work and rest! If you're tired of it and go to practice with that feeling, you could end up making less progress!"

Lin Jie shook his head lightly, teasing, "Are you sure this isn't the teacher deliberately misleading you? We paid for monthly tuition, so if you take a break, she gets one too!"

"Teacher Li is very responsible, not sneaky as you think!"

While speaking, Lin Miao picked out a set of underwear, thermal wear, sweaters, and pants from the wardrobe and tossed them onto the bed, shouting: "Get up quick; Sister Kexin has been waiting for you a good while."

"Lele, come, follow me outside!"

After dressing and washing, Lin Jie came to the living room and saw An Kexin lounging on the sofa, lost in thought!

Seemingly hearing Lin Jie's footsteps, An Kexin stood up immediately, tidied her clothes and hair, and smiled sweetly, saying: "You've solidified your reputation as a medical genius now. On the internet, especially on Binhai University's campus network, the compliments for you have pretty much exhausted all possible praises."

Indifferently, Lin Jie said: "The most important thing for a doctor is to heal and save. If you can't save patients, all those praises are useless. Kexin, you came over so early, is there something you need?"

An Kexin nodded and said: "The design company has sent over the initial draft of the hospital design. My father and I hope you can take a look and suggest some revisions!"

Lin Jie said directly: "I've told you before, I don't understand any of this. You and Uncle An can decide directly. For me, as long as there's an office, lab, and surgery room, it's good!"

An Kexin smiled sweetly, took out a laptop, and said: "Even so, you should still have a look!"

Lin Jie nodded, sat down, and watched the hospital renderings with An Kexin!

The main hospital building was a twenty-one-story tower shaped like a peeled ear of corn, with the husks extending in four directions to form four one-to-two-story annexes!

An Kexin pointed at the images and introduced: "The main building houses wards, operating rooms, labs, physiotherapy rooms, offices, meeting rooms, etc.! The annex on the east is the patient reception hall for registration, consultations, medication, and payments."

"The southern annex is for outpatient and emergency services, handling emergency patients. The western annex is mainly for receiving patients brought in by ambulance, serving as the hospital's fast access route."

"And to the north, there's a restaurant and small shops, serving doctors, patients, and their families."

She pointed to the large area depicted as a garden beside the main building's west side, continuing: "Lin Jie, what you're seeing is just the simulation rendering of the hospital's first phase!"

"This large open space will be used to construct inpatient or diagnostic buildings depending on the hospital's development!"

Lin Jie watched for a while and asked: "Why don't I see a helicopter landing pad?"

"A helicopter landing pad?"

An Kexin was momentarily taken aback, then swiftly realized, slapped her forehead, and said: "That's an oversight on my and my father's part!"

She pondered and said: "With economic growth and the relaxation of airspace control, the use of helicopters will increase, and individuals will own more helicopters."

"A considerable portion of our target clientele has high incomes. They have high expectations for privacy, and using helicopters to transport clients and emergency patients..."

"It looks like our hospital really needs to purchase one or two transport helicopters and convert them into medical emergency helicopters..."

An Kexin turned her head and looked at Lin Jie with a smile, "It seems it's very necessary for you to take a look. See, you immediately pointed out the major oversight my father and I made!"

Lin Jie gave a somewhat guilty smile!

This wasn't something he noticed; it was Shen Lanruo who pointed it out to him.

In the United States, using helicopters to transport patients or organs for transplants is very commonplace, and almost every hospital has a helipad specifically for helicopters to take off and land.

But in China, such situations are rarely seen, which is something An Kexin and others hadn't thought about.

At this moment, Lin Miao shouted from the dining room, "Brother, it's time for breakfast, if you don't eat now, it'll get cold. Kexin, you should eat a bit more too!"

An Kexin closed her laptop and said, "I'll notify the design company to make some modifications in the design and add a helipad. Let's go, I'll keep you company while talking and eating!"

Lin Jie arrived at the dining room and found the table set with congee, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, and pickles.

An Kexin was not shy; she took a small bowl and filled it with congee, saying, "I only had a bottle of milk and a piece of bread this morning, and I'm really getting hungry now."

Lin Miao looked at her delicate figure and asked enviously, "Kexin, do you always control your diet?"

An Kexin took a sip of congee and said gloomily, "There's no choice; I'm the type who gains weight as soon as I eat. When I see delicious food, I can only give it a little taste."

Lin Jie peeled a boiled egg and handed it to her, saying, "You exercise regularly and your work is busy, so you don't need to control your diet. This so-called tendency to gain weight easily is just your imagination and worry."

An Kexin took a bite of the egg and glared at Lin Jie, snorting, "You're not one of us girls; for us, even a pound difference in weight is significant."

"Exactly!" Lin Miao echoed, "Brother, you don't know, but some of my seniors count every bit of food they eat, and they can't eat freely."

Lin Jie didn't want to engage with these two vain women and just focused on his own meal!

An Kexin drank more congee and suddenly remembered something, chuckling, "Lin Jie, besides the online discussions and praise about you, Hu Yitong has also become a hot topic!"

"However, he's been criticized; things like being disrespectful despite his age, envying and suppressing talented individuals, oppressing juniors, being selfish and narrow-minded, having poor family upbringing, all sorts of things!"

Lin Miao's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Kexin, was that old guy really fainting from anger last night, or was it fake?"

An Kexin shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. The ambulance didn't take him to the on-campus hospital but went to Kangning Hospital. Oh, Lin Jie, did you know Hu Xinyi left overnight and went abroad?"

"Did she flee?" Lin Jie's interest was piqued.

An Kexin said delightedly, "Just temporarily avoiding the limelight, the Hu Family can't really do anything to her."

"Currently, Hu Yuanqing in neurosurgery has injured his arm, and it's still unknown to what extent it will recover after healing, or how it will affect surgeries."

"As for cardiac surgery, besides Hu Xinyi's father, she is the second person in the Hu Family. Considering Hu Yitong's disposition, he'll likely issue a minor punishment and just let the matter fade away!"

Lin Miao commented with some emotion, "Hu Yuanqing is her uncle, yet she used your kind of method against her own family! The fact that the whole family is in such discord is really hard to understand!"

An Kexin smiled and replied, "They are vying for the position of dean at Kangning Hospital; when family ties are tangled with benefits disputes, it's no longer family. Just like in ancient times when father and son turned against each other and brothers fought to the death for the throne, there were countless such instances!"

Lin Miao handed a boiled egg to Lin Jie, proudly saying, "In comparison, my brother treats me with nothing but kindness. This apartment and that commercial property are all under my name, hehe!"

Listening to this, An Kexin's mood slightly darkened.

She knew the reason Lin Jie did this was out of concern that he might pass away before Lin Miao does! This concern hovered like a dark cloud over her and An Weize's heart.

At this moment, Lin Jie recalled Shen Lanruo's reminder in his mind, "Don't forget to take your medicine today. You've skipped your medication for three consecutive days, and not until next month will you be able to extend the interval to four days!"

A week after the bone marrow extraction, Lin Jie began the medication withdrawal trial!

Starting from skipping a day of medication, progressing to two days, and now three days, the feedback from Shen Lanruo has always been positive and optimistic.

Sometimes, Lin Jie thought Shen Lanruo was a bit overly cautious.

But then he changed his mind, thinking that since this concerns his own life, caution can't be overdone.

Because if a mistake occurs, it might lead to a situation where the body's deterioration resembles an avalanche and leads to severe consequences in a very short time.

Although this possibility is very small, it still exists.
