The next morning, Lin Jie came to the Affiliated Hospital and called Shu Jiaxiang and his mother to the office.

"Based on the examination results, I'll introduce Shu Jiaxiang's treatment plan."

Lin Jie projected the scanned 3D image of the right calf onto the computer screen and analyzed it: "From the examination information, this calf suffered severe damage in the accident. Not only is there significant muscle loss, but the nervous system has also been seriously traumatized, to the point of being a tangled mess."

"I will rearrange the neural network of the calf through surgery."

He pointed out several visibly damaged areas and continued: "The sorting principle is to focus on the major and ignore the minor, ensuring the vital sensory functions."

Lin Jie pointed to the nerves on either side of the calf bone, "These two major nerve bundles, I will repair their damage. If the surgery effects meet expectations, it will significantly reduce the numbness in the calf."

"I will also focus on repairing the nervous system of the foot, as the nerve reflex and perception of the sole are very important to the human body. As for the rest..."

Lin Jie pointed to the area of the calf muscle and said: "In this area, some muscles are severely lost, and the detected nerve reflex is intermittent."

"These few tenuously connected nerves should be the cause of pain in the calf region; I will completely sever these nerve connections."

Shu's mother asked concernedly: "Expert Lin, will severing these nerve connections greatly affect the motor function of the calf?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "The impact can be said to be negligible."

"You see, these remaining muscle tissues are already minimal, and their contraction can only play a very small role, yet they continue to cause pain. It's better to remove them."

Shu Jiaxiang nodded and said, "Indeed, let's handle it according to your suggestion, Expert Lin."

"The pain on the dorsum of my foot..."

"Part of it is due to nerve damage, but the main reason is the varicosity of this blood vessel, which I will correct through surgery."

Lin Jie further explained several other nerve networks that needed sorting or removal, then said: "I strive to complete these tasks in one surgery."

"In this way, based on potential problems in the prognosis of this surgery, we can make another adjustment surgery."

"For this surgery, I need to take some nerve bundles from the healthy left leg to repair the nerve defects in the right leg..."

Before Shu Jiaxiang and his mother could ask, Lin Jie explained: "I will only take one-fourth to one-fifth of the nerve bundles. Due to the body's compensatory and repair functions, it will not affect the normal nerve functions of the left leg."

"However, the left leg will need to endure one to two weeks of pain."

Shu Jiaxiang smiled and said, "Compared to the discomfort of numbness and swelling, pain is a more bearable option for me, especially since it lasts at most two weeks. No problem."

Shu's mother asked again: "Expert Lin, after this surgery, will Jiaxiang not limp when walking in the future?"

Shu Jiaxiang answered for Lin Jie, "Mom, limping is unavoidable."

"Because during the reimplantation surgery, the right leg had some segments removed when clearing the breakage, making it two to three centimeters shorter than the left leg, which is irreparable."

"However, I can wear shoes of different heights in the future to ease it slightly."

"It's best to also use a single crutch."

Lin Jie suggested: "Because of the muscle loss in your right leg, and also, the strength of nerve control has weakened significantly, which causes the strength, coordination, and reaction of your right calf to be slightly weaker than your left leg."

"In the event of unexpected situations, it will cause incoordination between your left and right legs, making it easy to fall."

"Using a single crutch, can it help me avoid such problems?" Shu Jiaxiang questioned doubtfully.

"No."

Lin Jie directly answered: "Using a single crutch is to inform your brain that your right leg is functionally limited."

"Over time, the brain will form conditioned reflexes, and in dealing with sudden situations, it will treat your right leg differently, helping you fall less frequently."

Shu Jiaxiang asked incredulously, "Is this feasible?"

"It is feasible."

Standing to one side, Fang Huanru whispered: "From a psychological perspective, this belongs to the subliminal reflex formed by specific items, which is very effective."

"The surgery is tentatively scheduled for this Saturday. In the coming days, you can handle any personal matters."

Huo Guangheng accompanied Shu Jiaxiang and his mother out of the office, but Fang Huanru stayed behind.

"Teacher, can I talk to you for a few minutes?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Aside from proactively sending emails to inquire about certain questions, among all the students, Fang Huanru was the first to actively request a conversation, which piqued Lin Jie's interest.

Fang Huanru pulled a consultation chair, tidied her clothes, and sat upright opposite Lin Jie, saying solemnly, "Before discussing the matter, I would like to clarify something..."

"Teacher, psychology is my minor, and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology."

Lin Jie made a light 'oh' sound, did not speak, but gestured with his eyes for Fang Huanru to continue.

"Teacher, I know you use an elimination method to screen us and employ high-intensity knowledge infusion to push our learning potential, striving to cultivate a few students you consider qualified in the shortest time possible."

"It's just..."

Fang Huanru hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that everyone has their limits."

"Strong willpower and mental self-hypnosis can indeed push the body's limits, but there will always be an insurmountable extreme."

"Teacher, you might not know this."

Fang Huanru said worriedly, "Xiao Ganghao, Wei Hongyang, Zeng Yang, Zhao Fang, and a few others have started to use electric shocks on themselves. They resort to these extreme self-harming methods to keep their minds clear."

Lin Jie was shocked and couldn't help but say, "That ruthless?"

Fang Huanru nodded heavily and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare lie to you."

"Teacher, I'm begging you..."

She reached out and gestured with her thumb and index finger, pleading, "Can you ease up on us a little bit? I'm really worried that someone might not be able to take it and will have a physical or mental breakdown..."

Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said, "That's my fault, thank you for the reminder."

"You've been under high pressure for almost five months now, you should take a slight break."

"Hmm, let's do this..."

He thought for a while and said, "You go back and tell them that the one-on-one talks scheduled for this Thursday will be moved to next Thursday, and there will be no new assignments during this period."

"Thank you, teacher, thank you!"

Fang Huanru was so excited she almost jumped out of the examination chair but immediately realized that she was acting as a sort of negotiation representative, so she quickly calmed herself down.

"Teacher, let me tell you one more thing."

She said somewhat resentfully, "Before becoming your students, seven or eight out of our fourteen had boyfriends or girlfriends, but now, we've all become single."

Lin Jie nonchalantly said, "If they couldn't withstand a few months of separation and decided to break up, it just shows that the person they were dating wasn't true love and lacked vision."

"Can't they see that your future will become brighter and broader because of my teachings?"

He added proudly, "Fang Huanru, let me give you a little hint."

"In the near future, I will organize an event for you, where I will introduce some pretty girls..."

Noticing Fang Huanru's gender, Lin Jie added, "Oh, of course, there will naturally also be handsome boys."

After saying this, Lin Jie began to worry silently.

Pretty girls are easy to find—Zou Manqing, Ling Mengjiao, Yu Momo—and he remembered that An Kexin's company has a few attractive employees.

But finding highly educated, capable, decent-looking, and age-appropriate quality men to match with Fang Huanru, Yan Beichen, Lu Xiaoyu, and others, where could he find them?

Thinking again, Lin Jie tentatively asked, "Fang Huanru, you all have been together for some time now and know each other quite well. Hasn't anyone caught each other's interest, sparking something quietly?"

Seeing that the conversation was drifting way off track, Fang Huanru, feeling frustrated, pulled the topic back, saying, "Teacher, although we've been together for quite some time, our interactions have been pitifully few."

"Plus, with so many books to read and things to memorize, we're severely lacking even in sleep time, let alone having time to think about anything else."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "That's also my issue."

"In the future, I'll organize some activities so you can get to know each other better."

He said kindly, "Fang Huanru, let me remind you through your mouth to those few girls."

"The resources you have now are quite rich, like hunting in a zoo. Once you leave campus and enter society, it will be very difficult for you."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Huanru suddenly found this teacher Lin Jie quite interesting and laughed, "Perfectly clear. It's a big challenge for highly educated girls to find a partner, and in school, comparatively more matching quality resources are available."

"I'll pass on your words to the girls, encouraging them to take the initiative as much as possible."

"The premise being, of course, that you, teacher, give us a bit more free time."

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "You've reminded and implied this point repeatedly, seeming a bit over the top. As the saying goes, to gain something, you have to sacrifice something. Do you believe that many people want to take your place?"

"Yes, yes, teacher, you are right. I've been too greedy."

Fang Huanru immediately stood up, conceded obediently, and then said, "Teacher, I pay attention to communicating more with classmates and even use my psychology knowledge to relieve their stress and tension."

"I do this during my precious rest time alongside the overwhelming academic workload."

"Teacher, you see..."

Lin Jie glared at her again and said, "If you have a request, just say it outright. I hate when you only say half and leave the other half teased."

Fang Huanru giggled and said, "Xiaoxiao's July concert tickets."
