"Xue Linlin, watch my movements carefully, and then try it yourself!"

After arriving in the study room, Lin Jie instructed Xue Linlin, then reached out with both hands, slowly performing some elaborate wrist and finger movements.

Xue Linlin stared unblinkingly, and when Lin Jie was done, she immediately extended her slender hands, mimicking twice.

"Teacher, did I meet your requirements?"

Seeing her somewhat timid appearance, Lin Jie nodded slightly and said, "It's fairly good!"

"Your observation and imitation skills are pretty decent, and your wrists and fingers are quite nimble, which gives you the basic qualifications to become a surgeon."

Just as some people are tone-deaf and off-key when singing, a certain percentage of people have sluggish or uncoordinated athletic reflexes, naturally clumsy.

He Yimin belongs to those with sluggish athletic reflexes, although her condition is relatively mild, and she has other talents making up for this shortcoming.

Lin Jie did not want another clumsy student among his ranks.

His expectations for this batch of students were very high.

Lin Jie continued, "You all have another hurdle, the re-examination review."

"The school will review your application forms. If no issues are found, they will sign an orientation training agreement with you."

"Once everything is settled, you are truly admitted."

"The official list should be published on the school website by Friday or next Monday. Thus, you won't have to take the college entrance exams, essentially graduating from high school a few months early."

"Make use of this time..."

Seeing Xue Linlin's frail body and slender fingers, Lin Jie warned, "Your body is too weak. To be a good doctor, you must have a robust physique."

"Use this time to find a gym and hire a coach to create a fitness plan tailored to your body, ensuring you improve your physical fitness."

"Otherwise, with such a frail body, I wonder if you could endure the heavy workload of the coming years."

Xue Linlin nodded seriously, softly agreeing, "Teacher, I will train my body well."

She also contemplated, "With seven or eight months before university starts, there's no need to study high school subjects anymore, yet I can't spend all my time on fitness."

"Teacher, please recommend some medical books for me!"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "It's unnecessary."

"Once university starts, you'll receive at least eight years of medical education, plenty of time to read books."

"Xue Linlin, think of it this way: these few months are likely the only time in the next ten years of your life that you can relax and indulge."

"Whatever you wish to eat, play, whatever place you wish to travel to, utilize this time. If you want to be crazy, be crazy now."

"When university starts..."

Lin Jie smiled, "Xue Linlin, you should understand some of my ways; at that point, if you have enough sleep, it'll be considered good."

Xue Linlin gave a gentle smile, saying, "I understand your standards, teacher, are nothing short of stringent."

"Teacher, will you personally instruct us?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Not in the first few years."

"However, I will outline your study syllabus and teaching plans and will engage in periodic formal or informal interactions to understand your learning status."

He pointed to his eyes, sternly saying, "I will be observing your studies and performance."

"Should anyone fall behind, I won't hesitate to expel them."

Xue Linlin raised her small fists, promising, "Teacher, as your admirer, I will not allow myself to fall behind. I will make myself better and make you proud."

"I look forward to your performance..."

At this moment, Lin Jie's phone rang unexpectedly.

Mid-conversation, he picked up his phone and saw it was Ling Mengjiao calling.

Lin Jie motioned for Xue Linlin to pour herself a drink and then answered the call. "Mengjiao, have the arrangements for the conjoined twins been made?"

"Yes, everything is arranged."

"Around nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will escort the conjoined twins to the Affiliated Hospital with the welfare institution staff for detailed medical examinations."

Lin Jie politely said, "Mengjiao, thank you for your hard work. Did everything go smoothly with the arrangements?"

Ling Mengjiao's light laughter came through the phone, "It went relatively smoothly; it's satisfying to help these poor children, even if it's a bit toilsome."

"Relatively smoothly?"

Lin Jie sensed the implication and asked, "Mengjiao, was there any obstruction or unexpected situation?"

Ling Mengjiao's voice on the phone paused slightly, hesitantly saying, "Actually, it wasn't quite an obstruction or unexpected."

"The people here were not very enthusiastic about the conjoined twins getting your favor; they were persistently trying to persuade me to have a few other children with milder deformities receive your treatment."

Lin Jie frowned and asked, "Mengjiao, do you know their intention?"

"I privately talked with one of the staff to probe a bit. They believe that separating these cranially conjoined twins is too risky and costly."

"Instead, they suggest saving that effort and expense to benefit more disabled and deformed children."

Lin Jie was taken aback and slowly asked, "Mengjiao, do you also think so?"

Ling Mengjiao immediately replied, "Lin Jie, I don't have such thoughts."

"I will unconditionally do my best to accomplish any of your decisions."

Lin Jie said happily, "Execute critically, my decisions, which may not always be correct."

He paused and explained, "Mengjiao, to be honest, choosing these conjoined cranial twins, I have some personal motivations."

"This cranial separation surgery, even with ideal examination results, will still be a high-difficulty and high-risk surgery, a huge challenge."

"I need such a challenge to stimulate myself, to continuously improve and elevate myself."

"Mengjiao, in my understanding, on one side is a child, on the other side are several children, but placed on a scale, it will not tilt."

"Every life should not be abandoned, it is invaluable, and should be saved with all efforts."

"Moreover..."

Lin Jie said solemnly, "Rescuing one person versus rescuing more people, under current circumstances, is not a binary choice—not an either-or question."

"In the orphanage, many doctors have the ability to treat those disabled and deformed children with milder symptoms."

"However, why hasn't their condition significantly improved?"

"It's simply due to insufficient social attention and the inability to raise enough funds."

He suggested, "And this cranial separation surgery, it's a good opportunity to attract social attention, hoping they can effectively utilize it..."

After Lin Jie hung up the phone, he saw Xue Linlin gazing at him with admiration, "Teacher, are you going to perform the super high-difficulty cranial separation surgery on the conjoined twins?"

"That still depends on the medical examination results, it's not certain yet."

Lin Jie glanced at the time and said, "Xue Linlin, besides staying fit and enjoying yourself, there's nothing else I need to instruct you on."

"Let's leave it at that for today, we'll discuss other matters when the university starts."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. Goodbye!" Xue Linlin sincerely bowed to Lin Jie.

As Lin Jie escorted her out, another guest arrived at the house, Chen Qiuhua.

After Lin Jie sent Xue Linlin off, Chen Qiuhua quickly explained his purpose, "Lin Jie, I have been practicing with pig hearts recently, and I feel I've improved a lot."

"Practicing with pig hearts is still quite different from performing surgery in an operating room. The Municipal Hospital invited me to do part-time work for a few months, what's your advice?"

Lin Jie nodded, saying, "It's okay, doing some appropriate surgeries can help maintain your skills."

"It's hard for me to arrange for you to do part-time work at the Affiliated Hospital since they are not short of cardiothoracic surgeons."

Chen Qiuhua responded, saying, "In that case, I'll reply to them today. Lin Jie, I have a few more questions..."

"Dr. Chen..."

Lin Miao suddenly interrupted him, staring into his eyes, complaining somewhat, "Today is New Year's Day and also the weekend, and our brother just promised to go shopping with us."

Chen Qiuhua suddenly realized, apologized promptly, and was about to take his leave.

Lin Jie stopped him, saying to Lin Miao, "No rush for this half hour. You call Kemeng and ask her to come along for shopping!"

An Kexin asked in confusion, "A-Jie, but Kemeng is supposed to be studying for your assessment."

Lin Jie chuckled, "For the past two months, I've been so strict with her to test her, to make her understand that studying medicine with mere interest and impulse is far from enough."

"Kemeng can be said to have passed my test very well."

"Once she joins the medical orientation class with her peers, it'll be a tough few years for her."

"So, let's let her indulge and have some fun for a few months."

An Kexin beamingly said, "I'll make the call and personally share this good news with Kemeng."

Zhang Xiaoxiao then chimed in, "A-Jie, I've already called Qin Gang, and he's on his way."

Lin Jie quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister Xiaoxiao, on this holiday, there's no need for him to come. Let him stay at home with his pregnant wife."

Zhang Xiaoxiao scoffed, "A-Jie, you don't know. When Qin Gang received my call, you should have heard how thrilled he sounded at first."

"He deliberately raised his voice, saying, 'There's such an urgent need? Okay, I'll head over right away!'"

"That guy is just eager to escape from home."

Lin Jie smirked, asking, "Miaomiao, has Yang Leyi become that terrifying now?"

Lin Miao giggled, "With a big belly, her temper has indeed flared a bit."

"But while working, she's as efficient as ever. It's just that she often complains to us that her mother-in-law is too concerned about her unborn child, often neglecting her feelings."

"Holding in resentment, she vents it on brother Qin Gang... "

After answering Chen Qiuhua's questions and waiting for Qin Gang, Lin Jie and the others drove out of the Xiangtai Apartment underground parking lot.

Lin Jie casually glanced out the car window and suddenly saw a familiar figure!

He focused his gaze and confirmed that it wasn't his imagination.

The stout middle-aged man standing in front of the apartment building was none other than Lin Jie's biological father, Xie Xiwen from the Capital City Xie Family.
