The party continued until after ten at night, and it can be said that everyone had a good time.
However, An Kemeng secretly drank some red wine and beer, making herself dizzy, so An Kexin had to stay with her.
Zou Manqing also drank quite a bit, and for safety reasons, she stayed overnight with Ling Mengjiao.
As the host, Lin Jie had no choice but to sleep on the sofa once again.
Half-asleep and not knowing how long he had slept, Lin Jie felt thirsty and woke up.
He turned over and got off the sofa, intending to pour himself some water to drink. As he glanced casually, he suddenly noticed a dark figure sitting on the side sofa…
Lin Jie instantly shivered, almost falling back onto the sofa, only to discover that the silhouette was very familiar.
It was An Kemeng, still wearing her cartoon Pikachu pajamas!
Lin Jie reflexively touched his chest and angrily questioned, "An Kemeng, are you trying to deliberately scare me? If it were before, I would've died from fright."
"Brother Jie!"
An Kemeng's voice held a hint of tears, "My stomach feels upset, my belly is uncomfortable, and I can't sleep…"
"Who told you to drink so much alcohol, now you know it feels bad, right? Serves you right!" Lin Jie said, irritated but concerned, "Did you throw up?"
An Kemeng weakly replied, "I did! I threw up two or three times, nearly all the food I ate tonight, but I still feel uncomfortable!"
Lin Jie poured himself a glass of water and drank it down. Not seeing An Kexin or hearing any other sounds, he asked, "Where's your sister?"
"She's still asleep, sleeping like a pig, not caring about me at all!" An Kemeng's voice was full of grievance.
Lin Jie moved a bit closer to An Kemeng, tugged at the ears of her Pikachu pajamas, and said, "Your sister has to work hard in the company and hospital every day. Being busy makes her very tired. After drinking at night, it's inevitable to sleep deeply."
"I'll make you some vegetable noodles; having some food in your stomach will make it less uncomfortable!"
An Kemeng responded with an "Oh" and followed Lin Jie into the kitchen, then leaned against the cabinet, watching him fill the pot with water, light the stove, and wash the vegetables…
Suddenly, she opened her mouth and said, "Brother Jie, do you remember Lu Yongnian, who caused you trouble at my birthday party last year?"
Lin Jie nodded and said, "Of course, I remember! I was cornered in the bathroom then, if not for my quick thinking, acting first to scare him away, I might have been beaten until my ribs broke."
"So, is he still bothering you?"
"No!"
An Kemeng softly said, "That time, he lost face completely. Later, my father and the Lu family had a showdown over the company shares, which severed ties with the Lu family."
"Now, our families no longer have any dealings; Lu Yongnian doesn't even talk to me anymore."
Lin Jie made an "Oh" sound, tore the washed vegetables with his hands, and tossed them into the pot, saying, "Why are you bringing up Lu Yongnian? Are you saying you miss not having him around bothering you?"
"Brother Jie, what are you thinking?"
An Kemeng puckered her lips and unhappily said, "I'd rather have him far away! Lu Yongnian is pursuing a beauty from another class, but she doesn't even bother with him!"
"I'm just talking to you to distract myself. My stomach really feels terrible, very terrible."
Lin Jie made another "Oh" sound, grabbed a small handful of noodles, and tossed them into the pot, saying, "Now you have firsthand experience, so don't drink so recklessly again."
"No matter what, I won't drink again!"
An Kemeng made a promise and then asked, "Brother Jie, are you good at treating severe migraines?"
Lin Jie casually said, "The headache you're feeling is from drinking, just rest and you'll be fine, no need to treat it!"
"It's not me, it's someone else. I don't have a migraine!" An Kemeng hastily explained.
"Oh… There are many reasons for headaches, it depends on the cause. Once you know the cause and reason, it can be treated." Lin Jie said.
An Kemeng changed her position, leaning against the sink, "Our math teacher has a son, he's ten years old this year, but he hasn't gone to school, just stays at home."
"I saw him a few days ago; he looks like a bean sprout. If someone said he was six or seven, no one would doubt it."
"I found out his son has severe migraine problems, when it hurts he can't eat or sleep well."
"Brother Jie, can you cure his headaches?"
Lin Jie just smiled and said, "You're too vague; I don't have much of a clue."
"Many things can cause persistent headaches, one major cause being tumors!"
He continued, "Another cause could be congenital cerebral vascular malformation, which might limit blood supply in local brain areas…"
"If one uses their brain more due to thinking or excitement, the cerebral ischemia becomes severe, causing continuous pain or fainting."
An Kemeng nodded, "If the headache is from a tumor, you could definitely cure it. But Brother Jie, is the congenital vascular malformation easy to treat?"
Lin Jie laughed and said, "Problems in the brain aren't easy to fix; don't put so much faith in me."
"If the malformed blood vessels are a bit larger, it might be manageable through interventional treatment. But if the malformed vessels are very small, there isn't much that can be done effectively."
An Kemeng said, "Brother Jie, can you take a look for the math teacher? His son is so skinny and looks really pitiful."
Lin Jie didn't refuse and said, "Sure!"
"Presumably, the math teacher has taken his son for examinations. Someday, you can bring me the little guy's medical records and test results to see."
At this moment, the noodles were done cooking. Lin Jie turned off the heat and took a bowl to scoop out the noodles.
The amount of noodles barely amounted to a few bites and there were more vegetables than noodles, with half of the bowl being broth.
He carried the bowl to the dining room, saying, "Drink this bowl of soup noodles; having some warm food in your stomach will make it less uncomfortable."
"But, I don't have any appetite!" An Kemeng murmured as she followed behind.
Claiming to have no appetite, An Kemeng drank a few sips of the soup, ate a bit of vegetable, and seemed to regain her appetite, finishing the bowl of noodles in no time.
Still unsatisfied, she said, "Brother Jie, I want more."
Lin Jie yawned and said, "Eating too much at midnight isn't good! Wait until morning for breakfast! Now go back to your room and sleep!"
At this point, Lin Jie heard footsteps. Looking up, he saw An Kexin walk into the light and enter the kitchen.
An Kemeng also heard the noise, stood up, and saw An Kexin. She took a step forward and threw herself into her arms, hugging her waist. Feeling very aggrieved, she said, "Sister, I felt really uncomfortable and couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."
"Brother Jie made me a bowl of noodles, and I feel much better now."
An Kexin patted her head and said, "Don't drink again in the future, alright? If you feel better, let's go back to sleep. Lin Jie still has school and surgery tomorrow; we shouldn't disturb his rest."
Watching the two, who weren't that different in height, holding hands as they went upstairs, Lin Jie felt they weren't sisters but more like a mother and daughter.
