Near nine in the morning the next day!

Lin Miao gently closed the bedroom door and whispered to Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Brother is still sleeping, like a little pig. I bet he'll sleep for quite a while yet."

"Let's have breakfast first, no need to wait for him."

Zhang Xiaoxiao said tenderly, "Ah Jie must be really exhausted. Let him get some good sleep, let's go eat!"

They tiptoed quietly and walked out.

An Kemeng pouted, a bit disappointed, "This fish porridge, it took me quite an effort to learn from Auntie. It won't taste good reheated."

Lin Miao grabbed An Kemeng's hand, giggling, "Then let's drink it all up. When brother wakes up, you can make a new batch."

An Kemeng snorted proudly, "I only go into the kitchen once a day at most."

The three of them arrived at the dining room, served porridge, and started eating.

An Kemeng said listlessly, "I told our story to my classmates."

"Like when Lele barked frantically at night warning us, the earthquake and flood hit suddenly at midnight, racing against time with death, and Brother Jie saving a sister with just a little scalpel by severing a man's legs and all that..."

She said frustratedly, "They listened with great interest but none of them believed me, even though I said it was all true."

"It's so infuriating, and the most annoying part is that our phones and cameras got washed away by the flood. Otherwise, we would have had some evidence."

"If others don't believe, they just don't believe."

Zhang Xiaoxiao handed An Kemeng a boiled egg, pointed to her forehead, and comforted her, "This is our personal experience, memories we can cherish forever. As long as we know it's real, that's all that matters."

"Xiaoxiao sister, you're right. This experience we can definitely remember for a lifetime!"

An Kemeng perked up again and said, "Though we were really scared at the time, looking back now, this is undoubtedly our best travel experience, bar none."

Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, secretly smirking.

Maybe An Kemeng is someone who loves chasing thrills?

Then An Kemeng exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao sister, Miaomiao, I've decided, I want to record our experience that night in writing, so our memories don't fade in the future."

Zhang Xiaoxiao replied dismissively, "It should indeed be written down, sigh..."

"Sigh... I've got an idea..."

Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly became enthusiastic too, asking, "Miaomiao, Mengmeng, you say, Ah Jie is already so incredible now, he'll definitely become even more amazing, right?"

"That's definitely true!"

Lin Miao looked convinced, and An Kemeng nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiaoxiao slapped the table, "All remarkable people have autobiographies."

"Ah Jie will definitely have an autobiography in the future, and this travel experience will be one of the highlights in his autobiography."

"Mengmeng, write it well, make sure to do a good job."

"I experienced it firsthand too, so I'll definitely write it well."

An Kemeng's eyes glinted, "Material for an autobiography needs to be collected gradually. Let me tell you, I'm really good at writing essays, writing anything."

"I'll be in charge of gathering material for Brother Jie's autobiography, making a timeline of significant events. Xiaoxiao sister, Miaomiao, start telling me about Brother Jie's childhood..."

Lin Jie didn't wake up until after eleven.

When he walked into the living room, he saw Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, and An Kemeng sitting cross-legged on the sofa, talking about something so funny they were rocking back and forth. Meanwhile, Lele was lazily sprawled at the other end of the sofa.

"What are you all talking about that's so funny? Where's Kexin?"

Lin Miao stood up, chuckling, "Xiaoxiao sister was telling us some childhood stories. Sister Kexin left early in the morning, said she had an important contract to discuss today."

"Brother, you must be starving. I'll go get brunch ready for you."

After they all had lunch together and were chatting leisurely, Lin Jie's phone, the one he used for external contacts, suddenly rang.

The call was from an unfamiliar number.

Even though this number was publicly available for reaching Lin Jie, not just anyone had access to it.

Zhang Xiaoxiao answered the call, asking, "Hello, who is this?"

After listening for a few seconds, she covered the receiver, "Ah Jie, the caller is named Zhuang Hongbo, says he once made an appointment with you for a consultation, and is asking when you'll return to Binhai."

"Ah, yes, that's true!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment, then said, "Tell him to bring the patient to the Affiliated Hospital tomorrow at nine to see me."

Hearing this, Lin Miao got anxious, "Brother, aren't you going to stay home and rest for a few more days?"

Lin Jie pinched her nose, "My work in Binhai isn't tiring, the pace is almost like a rest. Besides, I promised this before we went on vacation, it's not good to break a promise."

"Xiaoxiao sister, just reply to him as I said!"

After Zhang Xiaoxiao finished the call, Lin Jie stood up, "I still need to go to the Affiliated Hospital. I bet the person waiting for the sex reassignment surgery has been eagerly waiting for me..."

"Eagerly waiting" was quite a suitable choice of words by Lin Jie.

When he walked into Cui Shanshan's hospital room, the enthusiastic guy sprang from the bed, barefoot, ready to give a big welcoming hug.

If Lin Jie hadn't been quick on his feet to dodge, Cui Shanshan would have taken full advantage.

"Stay put!"

Dodging the hug, Lin Jie hurriedly stepped back a couple of steps, pointing at Cui Shanshan's nose, and threatened, "If you want your face to become prettier, stand still."

Cui Shanshan twisted his waist, tied up his hospital gown with both hands, and gave Lin Jie an S-shaped side view, saying infinitely aggrieved, "Expert Lin, do you really see me as a fearsome monster?"

"Did you know how worried I was when I heard you were trapped in the earthquake zone!"

These words made Lin Jie's heart ache, but that voice...

Did sound much more soft and pleasant than before, way better than the previous coarse and droning voice.

This voice, paired with that enticing figure, going out at midnight is indeed very risky.

Just not sure who exactly would end up getting scared.

Tucking away his inappropriate fantasies, Lin Jie put on a serious face, "Be serious, worried about me? You're worried about your unfinished surgery wouldn't be more like it."

Before Cui Shanshan could respond, Lin Jie asked, "Do you have any opinions on the shaped chest, or changes to the Adam's apple and voice, especially on the psychological side – any feelings of repulsion? You need to be honest."

"Satisfied, beyond satisfied, a hundred thousand percent satisfied!"

Cui Shanshan facing Lin Jie, puffed out his chest, gestured with his hands, "The shape, size, and feel are all perfect. Even sister Xin is envious and wants you to do the same."

He pointed to his throat, happily saying, "The voice is just perfect, I'm mesmerized even by myself..."

Cui Shanshan got so excited that his voice got a bit loud, seemingly pulling on the wound, causing his facial muscles to twitch.

He hurriedly picked up a glass of water from the bedside table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said softly, "This is the voice I've dreamed of."

"Expert Lin, I'm even more looking forward to the upcoming plastic surgery and gender reassignment surgeries."

Cui Shanshan anxiously asked, "Expert Lin, when's the next surgery scheduled?"

Lin Jie sniffed, "Why the hurry, I'll arrange it, just wait for notification..."

After finishing the examination with Cui Shanshan, Lin Jie left the ward and found Cheng Xingguang waiting outside.

"Dean Cheng, are you specifically waiting for me?"

Cheng Xingguang nodded, smiling bitterly, "Expert Lin, if you hadn't returned soon, I'd be pestered to death. The old lady from the Ma Family in the Capital City doesn't dare to bother you but calls three times a day asking me about you."

"Regarding that child's situation, I've heard a bit, and there are some rumors in the Capital City too."

"Expert Lin, do you have any thoughts about this child?"

Cheng Xingguang added, "Professor Chen told me some of your experiences from the earthquake zone. If you don't want to take it on, leave this to me, I'll turn her down for you."

Lin Jie chuckled softly, "Appreciate the dean's kindness, but..."

"I agreed to take on this little patient because someone used a favor I owed them, it's not something I can back out of."

"Besides, I also want to see this difficult case that so many renowned traditional Chinese medicine experts couldn't solve."

At this moment, Lin Jie was also fully driven by enthusiasm!
