The familiar faces entering the hall were the very Professor Ren Maoshi and Professor Chen Shi I met last night, along with Ren Jianzhong!

Lin Jie already knew that this Professor Ren was the formidable father whom Ren Jianzhong relied on. However, the impression this Professor Ren left on Lin Jie last night was quite positive!

"Lin Jie, my uncle has arrived, I'll go greet him. Make yourself comfortable!"

With these words, An Kexin left Lin Jie, her face full of joy, and quickly went to meet with Professor Ren, Professor Chen, and the others.

Watching An Kexin intimately hold onto Professor Chen Shi's arm, Lin Jie unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

He glanced around at the young and middle-aged people in the hall, then thought about the teenagers outside, realizing his age was quite awkward, not fitting in with either group. After pondering for a moment, he decided to go outside to eat something first.

Lin Jie went to the courtyard, got some grilled beef and lamb from a server, then proceeded to the long table on the east side for some fruits and vegetables, and got a glass of juice. He found a relatively quiet table and chair to sit down and started his dinner!

The chef's skills were indeed extraordinary, and Lin Jie was quite engrossed while eating the fragrant grilled meat!

"Uncle, could you do me a favor?"

A timid girl's voice rang in Lin Jie's ear. The voice was quite pleasant, but being called "uncle" really hurt Lin Jie!

He looked up and saw a girl standing beside him wearing a light red dress, her hair tied in a ponytail, quite pretty with an oval face. Annoyed, he said, "Call me brother, not uncle. I'm not that much older than you!"

The girl with the oval face shrunk back like a startled rabbit, stepping back a bit, but then stepped forward again, mustering her courage to say, "Sorry, I understand now, it's brother, not uncle!"

She hesitated for a moment and then asked again: "Brother, I'm really sorry to bother you, but could you eat somewhere else?"

Lin Jie frowned!

He had chosen a spot that was secluded enough, where else could he go to eat? He said somewhat angrily, "What? Is my eating here bothering you?"

"Brother, no, no, you've misunderstood my meaning!"

Her cheeks flushed with urgency, and she pointed to a girl in a denim skirt lying down on the table next to them, explaining: "She is my classmate and has had a slight fever for several days now. Today she struggled to come to Kemeng's birthday party!"

"Earlier she felt a bit dizzy, so I accompanied her to rest here. But she has another symptom, which is a loss of appetite and nausea. The smell of your grilled meat drifted over to us, and she felt very... uncomfortable!"

"So, I wanted to kindly ask if you could eat a little farther away, would that be okay?"

Seeing her request was so polite and her looks pleasing, Lin Jie couldn't bear to argue with her and decided to gather his things and move to another place!

"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother!"

The girl with the oval face thanked Lin Jie as he moved, then returned to the side of the girl in the denim skirt!

Lin Jie, carrying his tray, walked towards a table a bit farther away!

It was then that Shen Lanruo's voice suddenly sounded, "Lin Jie, a persistent low-grade fever, dizziness, and symptoms of nausea and loss of appetite! Diagnose what this girl might be suffering from."

"Inflammation in the body, indigestion, and anemia, viral cold..."

Lin Jie recalled the knowledge in his mind and silently responded, "These symptoms are all possible! Sister Lanruo, to make a confirmed diagnosis, I would need some more specific test data!"

"You've overlooked the biggest possibility, think again!" Shen Lanruo's voice was quite stern!

Lin Jie's heart tensed, knowing this was a sign of Shen Lanruo's great dissatisfaction. Holding his tray, he stood in place, thinking quietly, and quickly realized his oversight!

He turned to look at the girl in the denim skirt leaning on the oval-faced girl and silently thought to himself: "Sister Lanruo, I figured it out."

"Loss of appetite, nausea, sometimes dizziness, low-grade fever, these are also symptoms of early pregnancy in some cases! But she should be only fifteen or sixteen years old, isn't this possibility a bit unlikely?"

"Lin Jie, as a doctor, you should avoid preconceived notions!"

"We only make judgments based on the patient's symptoms and test data, and the patient's verbal account can only be used as a reference. Patients can lie for various reasons, but the symptoms shown by the body and the test data will not mislead us!"

Shen Lanruo took the opportunity to educate Lin Jie and continued, "When you've dealt with more patients, you'll understand that anything is possible, and patients will constantly challenge your imagination's limits!"

"Moreover, teenage pregnancy is not an unusual occurrence! Analyzing from these symptoms, the explanation of this girl being pregnant is the most likely one!"

"You can go ask her about it, she might not have realized it at first, but maybe with a reminder, she'll figure it out!"

"If she is indeed pregnant, improper treatment could have a very negative effect on her health and potentially impact her future. You'd be doing a good deed!"

Lin Jie hesitated for a moment, but couldn't suppress his curiosity. He put his tray on a nearby table and walked over to the two girls!

The girl with the oval face, seeing Lin Jie returning, quickly stood up and shielded the girl in the denim skirt behind her, looking at him with caution!

This action reminded Lin Jie of Lin Miao, who would always protect him like this whenever he was in trouble. Even when he wasn't well, Lin Miao would do this!

A smile appeared on his face, and he said softly, "I mean no harm, you said your friend is unwell, and since I've learned some medical skills, I thought I could volunteer to diagnose your friend and hopefully help her!"

Upon hearing this, the girl with the oval face immediately smiled and said, "That would be wonderful, thank you, brother, please have a seat!"

Lin Jie sat next to the girl in the denim skirt and observed her carefully!

She had light makeup on, but it couldn't hide her pale complexion. She looked visibly unwell, with some red veins in her eyes.

"Besides the low-grade fever, dizziness, loss of appetite, and nausea, do you feel any other discomfort?"

The girl in the denim skirt forced a smile, speaking weakly, "I often feel tired, like I can never get enough sleep. Sometimes my stomach hurts, it feels like a throbbing pain!"

Hearing her say this, Lin Jie was even more certain of his judgment!

He thought for a while, turned to the girl with the oval face, and said, "I need to speak with your friend alone for a moment, could you step away for a bit?"

The girl with the oval face was taken aback, then widened her eyes and stared at Lin Jie!

Lin Jie found it amusing and said, "We're in a public place with so many people around, what could I possibly do?"

The girl with the oval face agreed after thinking it through, her face softening. She squeezed the hand of the girl next to her, got up, and left, standing about four or five meters away, ready to rush over at the first sign of trouble!

Lin Jie couldn't help but chuckle and, in a lowered voice, said to the girl in front of him, "I have a guess in my mind, but I need to ask you a couple of personal questions. Please don't be offended or upset!"

Seeing the girl nod her consent, Lin Jie asked, "When was your last period? And, have you had any intimate encounters with boys in the past one or two months?"

Upon hearing these two questions, the girl in the denim skirt's face immediately turned paper-white, devoid of any color, and she swayed slightly!

She gave Lin Jie a deep look but didn't speak, then got up and left, somewhat unsteadily.

The girl with the oval face, noticing this, shot a fierce glare at Lin Jie and shook her small fist at him before quickly chasing after the girl in the denim skirt!

The reaction of the girl in the denim skirt confirmed Lin Jie's suspicion, prompting him to sigh in amazement at how the modern-day girls are remarkably open!

"I didn't expect your skills at attracting girls to be so poor, that you could actually scare someone away!"

Recognizing the somewhat familiar voice, Lin Jie turned around and said earnestly, "Professor Chen, I wasn't trying to attract a girl! The girl was feeling unwell, and I just wanted to help, but she misunderstood!"
