"Lin Jie, Lin Jie..."

A soft call, accompanied by rhythmic knocking, woke Lin Jie from a gentle dream, lost on the path of return.

He was about to sit up but felt his body heavier than usual, with aches all over, yet there was an indescribable satisfaction flowing through him.

Beside Lin Jie lay An Kexin, her black hair disheveled, with several strands clinging to her forehead and cheeks, damp with sweat.

She too was awakened by the sound, hurriedly propping herself up.

With just this simple action, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing a touch of pain, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan, speaking quickly, "Miaomiao is back? Hmm, it doesn't sound like her voice..."

"It's Ling Mengjiao!"

At this moment, Lin Jie had already recognized the voice of the person knocking, feeling secretly relieved. If it were Lin Miao, she would have pushed the door open while knocking.

Lin Jie turned to look at the clock on the nightstand; it was only a quarter past eight in the evening!

As he hurriedly put on his pajamas, he shouted, "Hold on, I just laid down! Why are you back so early..."

"Want to feel more comfortable?"

An Kexin's words instantly erupted the volcano inside Lin Jie. Having tasted the experience, he could no longer suppress months of suppression and yearning.

Lin Jie instructed Qin Gang to drive Zou Manqing home later and then rest himself.

Afterward, he and An Kexin rushed back to their home at Xiangtai Apartment.

After a passionate encounter, during a mid-break, Lin Jie received a call from Lin Miao, saying she would be out eating and shopping with Ling Mengjiao and Yang Leyi, and would be back later.

With this news, Lin Jie and An Kexin felt even more free, indulging in more rounds until they fell asleep in each other's arms...

After putting on his pajamas, Lin Jie opened the bedroom door slightly, seeing only Ling Mengjiao standing outside!

He blocked Ling Mengjiao's view, stepped out of the bedroom, and closed the door, concernedly asking, "Where is Miaomiao? Weren't you supposed to go shopping together?"

Ling Mengjiao looked a bit embarrassed and timidly said, "Miaomiao got drunk! She's in the bedroom; Leyi is taking care of her!"

"Drunk?"

Lin Jie frowned, feeling displeased!

Ling Mengjiao quickly explained, "Today's kidney transplant surgery was successful; it was a small victory, so we had a meal to celebrate! During which, we ordered a few cans of beer!"

"We knew Miaomiao couldn't drink, so we only poured her a little, just a little. After drinking, she felt fine and asked for more..."

Lin Jie's expression darkened further, asking, "How much did she drink in total?"

Ling Mengjiao held up one finger and said, "She just drank one can of beer! We didn't let her drink more, and Miaomiao didn't ask for more!"

"During the meal, Miaomiao was chatting and laughing the whole time, and we didn't notice anything wrong. However, once we left the restaurant, a gust of wind blew, and Miaomiao complained of feeling dizzy! She leaned on me and fell asleep in the taxi!"

Seeing Lin Jie's slightly darkened face, she anxiously apologized, "I'm sorry! It was my fault, knowing Miaomiao has no tolerance, I shouldn't have let her drink."

Lin Jie's expression softened a little, saying, "It's not your fault! You just didn't realize how little alcohol tolerance Miaomiao really has!"

He said, somewhat helplessly, "Just one can of beer knocks her out; it surprises me too! She can handle a glass of wine!"

Lin Jie went to Miaomiao's bedroom, finding her in pajamas, sleeping soundly like a pig, while Yang Leyi was wiping her face with a warm towel.

Checking on Lin Miao, Lin Jie realized she was indeed just asleep, even snoring lightly, which amused him.

"Ling Mengjiao, Yang Leyi, you should just stay here tonight! Well, I was busy during the day, a bit tired, so I went to bed early today."

To avoid arousing their suspicion, Lin Jie didn't forget to explain!

Yang Leyi chuckled, "Then go back and rest! Mengjiao and I will look after Miaomiao. Haha, truthfully, she doesn't need our care, just look at how soundly she's sleeping..."

As if deliberately contradicting Yang Leyi, at that moment, Lin Miao turned over, sprawling across the bed in a big letter pose, showing no ladylike posture...

Back in his bedroom, Lin Jie saw that An Kexin had already dressed, sitting on the bed's edge.

Seeing it was Lin Jie who entered, a somewhat flustered An Kexin relaxed, exhaling a breath, and asked, "What happened? They came back quite early!"

Lin Jie spoke, slightly frustrated, "Miaomiao drank a can of beer, fell asleep drunk, so they had to bring her back!"

An Kexin couldn't contain her smile, saying, "You and your sister's alcohol tolerance really are astounding! Hmm, I should also head back while no one has noticed."

Saying this, she slowly stood up!

Lin Jie noticed her posture was somewhat unnatural and cautiously asked, "Did I hurt you?"

An Kexin gave Lin Jie a tender, affectionate glance, and teased, "In this state, do you feel proud and smug?"

Lin Jie, slightly sheepish, said, "No, no! Sorry, Kexin, it's just that I was reckless and didn't consider your body!"

An Kexin understandingly said, "Don't blame yourself; I urged you on! At times like this, a man should put in all his effort; otherwise, he's not a man!"

Lin Jie noticed her hair was still a bit tousled, some strands clumped together, and said, "Kexin, why don't you take a shower before going home? This way, no one might notice anything suspicious when you return."

An Kexin thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll take a shower before heading back!"

Lin Jie eagerly assisted her to the bathroom and stubbornly stayed with her!

As the steamy water cascaded over An Kexin's enticing body, Lin Jie noticed several traces of joy still marking her skin. Feeling a pang of guilt, he blurted out, "Kexin, be my girlfriend?"

An Kexin's movements halted at once.

After a moment, she turned off the shower, turned to look at Lin Jie, and softly said, "Lin Jie, I'm a mature woman. As a doctor, you understand, I have physical needs."

"Us being together today is only due to hormones and impulses, not because of feelings or love."

"It's not just hormones and impulses!"

Lin Jie insisted, "Kexin, being with you, I feel very comfortable, without pressure or pretense; it's a genuine sense of inner relaxation and comfort. I don't know if this is love, but I want to be with you!"

"Kexin, let's be together!!"

An Kexin gave a radiant smile, saying, "I feel comfortable with you too."

"But I can tell you, this isn't love! Lin Jie, you're still young. One day, you'll meet a girl who makes your heart race, who you can't stop thinking about day and night, losing sleep over."

"At that time, this feeling will let you affirmatively recognize that this is love!"

Lin Jie grew a bit anxious and said, "Kexin, but... but..."

An Kexin raised her wet index finger and pressed it against Lin Jie's lips, saying, "Clearly, I'm not the girl who makes your heart race, just the sister who makes you feel comfortable!"

She withdrew her hand, twisting her body to offer Lin Jie a graceful side curve, teasingly saying, "Today isn't the end; this sister will always make you comfortable, until you meet that girl who makes your heart race!"

An Kexin switched the shower back on, saying, "However, if we rashly define our relationship, it would burden both of us! It would be awkward to handle should you meet that special girl during this period."

Lin Jie felt there was some truth in her words, yet something irked him inside. After thinking for a moment, he called out, "Kexin, let's make an agreement!"

"What kind of agreement?" An Kexin turned off the shower again!

Lin Jie took a deep breath, stating firmly, "You might think I'm young, inexperienced, naive about love, impulsive, and rash in decisions."

He stretched out his palm, saying, "Five years, give me five years! By then, I'll be well-experienced and more mature in thought!"

"After five years, if by then neither of us has met someone who makes our heart race, we'll be together!"

An Kexin pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly, saying, "Alright! I accept!"

She extended her hand, matching Lin Jie's palm, "Five years later, if you and I have no partner and I'm not married, I'll be your girlfriend, your wife!"

Lin Jie smiled, his face beaming, declaring boldly, "Since we have this agreement, I will make sure it happens!"

With fingers intertwined, Lin Jie suddenly pulled her into his arms, grinning mischievously, "Now, I want to feel comfortable again..."
