Lin Jie groggily opened his eyes and found the scene before him somewhat unusual...

After being stunned for a while, he realized this was his own living room. There he was, in pajamas, having slept on the sofa, as memories of last night slowly came back to him.

Perhaps genuinely happy for Lin Jie earning his medical license, everyone had a little too much fun last night and drank quite a bit.

With his spirits high, Lin Jie unknowingly drank nearly two glasses of red wine, and then...

...he couldn't remember what happened after that.

Hearing sounds from the kitchen, Lin Jie crawled up from the sofa, put on slippers, and went to the kitchen, only to find Lu Kaicheng and Qin Gang, two big guys, making breakfast.

Lu Kaicheng was cooking while Qin Gang was chopping vegetables.

From the evenness of the ginger slices, Qin Gang's cooking skills seemed quite decent.

However, both of them looked a bit pale with a faint smell of alcohol on them.

Lin Jie teased them, "You two look quite weak, did you guys drink too much last night while celebrating?"

Lu Kaicheng smiled wryly and said, "Last night was surely a celebration with drinks, but it went overboard."

"I felt dizzy and unwell the whole night, then after sobering up a bit, I threw up twice and took a hot shower, feeling slightly better!"

He pointed to his somewhat tight pajamas and said, "Lin Jie, my clothes got dirty and were washed, still drying, so I can only wear your pajamas for now."

"No problem, just wear them!"

Lin Jie turned to Qin Gang and asked, "Your face looks just like Kaicheng's. Did you go overboard too? Aren't you supposed to be a strong drinker?"

Qin Gang grinned and said, "I can drink quite a bit, but I met an unexpected match this time."

"Lin Jie, I never imagined Leyi was even better than me!"

"Last night, I competed with her, and after tying, we ended up having a bottle-chugging contest!"

He looked a bit embarrassed and said, "I drank half a bottle of Wuliangye and just collapsed!"

Speaking of Wuliangye, Lin Jie remembered something, there was only red wine and beer at home, no liquor.

"Did you guys go out and buy more alcohol?"

Qin Gang scratched his head and said, "After you drank and slept, someone kept saying the red and beer weren't strong enough, wanted liquor. So, I went to Uncle Ye's and brought back two cases of Wuliangye."

Lin Jie chuckled, saying, "In the drinking world, aren't people warned to beware of those with rosy cheeks, braids, and the ones taking pills?"

"Qin Gang, your wife belongs to the braided type."

"What a shame, you were completely floored this time, now you're out of breath, the big power in the house probably won't be yours anymore!"

Lu Kaicheng laughed and teased, "Lin Jie, with your drinking capacity, you dare mock others?"

"I'll tell you something else, the one who could drink the most last night wasn't Qin Gang's wife, but that one..."

He gave Lin Jie a knowing look, "Last night she was unstoppable; I ended up being knocked out by her too!"

Thinking of An Kexin effortlessly drinking two bottles of yellow wine in front of him and still staying clear-headed, Lin Jie knew her drinking capacity was definitely not little.

Lin Jie didn't see Yao Siyuan and asked, "Where's Yao Siyuan?"

Lu Kaicheng said, "His drinking is good, he didn't drink much last night. He said he had a minor surgery this morning, so he went home early last night."

Lin Jie nodded and heard light footsteps behind him, quickly turned his head, and saw An Kemeng tiptoeing behind, seemingly trying to catch him by surprise.

"Jie-ge, your hearing is way too sharp. I was being so careful!"

An Kemeng walked up, annoyed, carefully looking at Lin Jie's face, and asked, "Did you sleep well on the sofa last night?"

A whiff of fresh after-shower fragrance wafted into his nose.

Lin Jie noticed An Kemeng's hair was still a bit damp and said, "Slept pretty well, all the way to dawn. Go dry your hair, or on your way to school, the wind will give you a headache."

An Kemeng pouted unhappily and said, "My sister always dried my hair. Now she's sleeping like a pig, and I can't wake her up."

Lin Jie laughed and said, "Your sister must have drunk too much. Let me dry your hair; I often do that for Miaomiao!"

The two went to the second-floor guest room, where Lin Jie saw An Kexin lying on her side on the bed with disheveled hair, a fair arm exposed outside the thin blanket, snoring softly.

Lin Jie and An Kemeng went to the bathroom's outer room, took the hairdryer, and dried her hair...

"Jie-ge, are you dating my sister?"

The sudden question almost made Lin Jie drop the hairdryer.

Lin Miao had noticed, and now An Kemeng was asking; do younger sisters have a keen eye for such things?

Feeling puzzled, Lin Jie hid his surprise and said, "Kemeng, why would you ask that?"

An Kemeng, clearly unhappy, said, "I can sense it. The way you look at each other is a bit different, and last night, after you fell asleep on the sofa, my sister was checking on you more than Miaomiao did! She's never been this good to me."

Lin Jie switched off the hairdryer and admitted frankly, "My relationship with your sister is a bit complicated."

He thought for a moment and said, "It's between dating and not dating, like what they say online—more than friends, less than lovers. Anyway, your sister says our relationship isn't love."

He sighed and said gloomily, "Right now, I'm not even sure what love really is!"

An Kemeng, her face flushed, asked again, "Even though you're not quite lovers yet, is your relationship with my sister... is it... already very close?"

Lin Jie naturally understood what she meant and was pondering how to answer that question.

Then An Kemeng's face darkened, and she said, "You don't have to think of an answer, I've already guessed it. Once, I found some marks on her body, hmph... hmph..."

Lin Jie gave a sheepish smile and remained silent!

An Kemeng bit her lip and was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "So... will you and my sister get married in the future?"

"Maybe!"

Lin Jie said, "Your sister and I have an agreement that if after five years, neither of us has fallen for someone else, we will get married."

An Kemeng softly acknowledged with an "oh" and murmured to herself, "Five years, five years..."

"Brother Lin, keep blowing my hair!"

Lin Jie, Lu Kaicheng, Chen Lili, An Kemeng, and Qin Gang were the first group to have breakfast. After the meal, Qin Gang drove An Kemeng, Lu Kaicheng, and Chen Lili to school and the hospital.

Chen Lan, Lin Miao, and Ling Mengjiao were the second group; after they finished their meal, some went to work while others went home.

An Kexin and Yang Leyi were the last group; after getting up and washing up, they happened to have lunch with Lin Jie and Qin Gang!

Afterward, Qin Gang drove Lin Jie to Binhai University Medical School!

Today was Thursday, and Lin Jie had a class in the afternoon!

As he stepped into the lecture hall, Lin Jie immediately sensed that today's classroom felt somewhat different.

He looked up and saw four young people in camouflage uniforms immediately standing up, snapping to attention in succession, and saying:

"Xia Yu/Gao Yanhong/Huo Guangheng/Guo Peng, reporting as ordered, please instruct us, Teacher Lin!"

With voices so loud, they were a bit ear-piercing. Lin Jie examined the four!

The first impression was that their posture was upright and pleasing to the eye!

Lin Jie was somewhat skeptical whether the meticulous selection mentioned by General Meng Yang included height and looks as selection criteria?

The four individuals consisted of two men and two women; the two women were of the same height, at least 1.7 meters, with delicate features and neat short hair, exuding a heroic and charming demeanor!

The two men were tall and sturdy, with cold and sharp features, exuding an aura of bravery.

Lin Jie noticed that many men and women who came to audit the class were secretly taking pictures of them with their phones.

Lin Jie said, "The four of you, this is not a military camp or a military academy. You can consider yourselves regular students. Have a seat; the class is about to start."

Xia Yu, standing at the leftmost position, said, "Report, Teacher Lin. As a soldier, one must always hold oneself to the standards of a soldier, no matter when or where!"

Lin Jie glanced at her, ignored her, took a sip of water from his cup, and was about to start today's lesson!

"Report, Teacher Lin, may I make a request?" Xia Yu spoke up again!

Lin Jie frowned slightly, saying with displeasure, "Go ahead! What is your request?"

Xia Yu spoke loudly, "Dr. Lin, we've been doing closed-off studies and internships at the Military Medical University, military hospitals, and units, knowing very little about the outside world!"

"The commander specifically told us that Teacher Lin is a peerless physician, and we should do our utmost to learn all of Teacher Lin's skills."

Xia Yu's beautiful eyes roamed over Lin Jie and continued, "According to military rules, instructors must always showcase a skill first. Only then can they earn the soldiers' heartfelt admiration."

With a thud, the entire lecture hall exploded into discussion and debate!

Tian Xiangyu stood up and loudly said, "You cadet from the military, I don't know why you're here, but the hundreds of students sitting here can all tell you one fact!"

"Teacher Lin possesses unparalleled medical talent and is a true medical genius! Fellow students, am I right?"

"Yes, Teacher Lin is exceptional!"

"Teacher Lin's talent needs no questioning..."

Damn it, Lin Jie hadn't expected that these few would dare to challenge him at their first meeting. Is this Xia Yu a thorny girl?

He raised his hand, restoring silence in the classroom, and said, "In my class, coming and going is free! If anyone, including you four, doesn't want to listen to my class or is dissatisfied with it, you can leave at any time!"

"Alright, now let's begin..."

"Teacher Lin!"

Xia Yu relentlessly spoke again, "Before coming here, we heard a recording of one of your lectures."

"Honestly, we greatly admire your theoretical knowledge."

"However..."

"As a military doctor, we place more emphasis on practical, hands-on experience. If you, Teacher Lin, could let us observe a surgery you personally perform, that would be ideal!"

Xia Yu looked provocatively at Lin Jie and continued, "Teacher Lin, you already have a medical license; do you dare to accept this challenge?"

As soon as she said this, no one in the classroom spoke up or refuted; everyone's eyes were intently focused on Lin Jie!

There were many private rumors about Lin Jie, but they had only attended his theoretical lectures and had never actually seen him perform surgery!

Perhaps this time, they could really witness something extraordinary?
