In the morning, Lin Jie slowly opened his eyes, feeling a little different in his body.
He glanced down and noticed that the thin blanket was tented, bringing a smile to his face as he realized his body was recovering to a certain extent.
Get up, wash up, and make breakfast.
Last night's dinner was sumptuous, with plenty of leftovers, so Lin Jie just needed to cook so porridge and heat up the leftovers.
As breakfast was nearly ready, Lin Miao, dressed in a floral pajama, ca out of the bedroom yawning, muttering, "Brother, Xiaoxiao got up and went out as soon as the day broke!"
"She said she's looking for a renovation company, needs to contact the dostic general agent of that brand from France through friends, recruit employees and so on. There are many tasks and little ti, so she'll be leaving early and coming back late for the next few days, and won't be eating at ho!"
Lin Jie nodded in response, "Oh, I see! Go wash up, and we can eat soon!"
A few minutes later, the two sat at the table for breakfast.
Halfway through eating, Lin Miao softly said, "Brother, you now have a steady inco of over ten thousand each month, and my inco is stable too. Shouldn't we find a place to move to?"
"Move out? We are living just fine, why move?" Lin Jie was a bit puzzled for a mont.
Lin Miao wrinkled her little nose and said, "Xiaoxiao is not young anymore, she should find a boyfriend. Our staying here could affect her dating life."
It was only after she ntioned it that Lin Jie realized it was indeed a big issue, which made him frown.
Lin Miao's eyes could only distinguish light and dark, and in the evening, when the light dims, it was equivalent to being completely blind. For her, the best option was to live in a familiar place.
She had just morized the layout of this apartnt, and now they needed to move, which made Lin Jie feel a bit heartbroken thinking about it.
He thought for a mont and said, "Right now, Xiaoxiao is busy with starting her business, opening a clothing store. I guess she will be busy morning till night every day, even if she wants to date, she has no ti."
"When her clothing store is up and running, we can find a place to move to then!"
Lin Miao tilted her head, thought for a mont, and nodded, "Brother is right. It is indeed Xiaoxiao's busiest ti now. If we live together, we can still cook for her, and I can also give her massages when I co back!"
"But brother, you need to start keeping an eye out for a place to rent!"
"I know, you little worrywart. Hurry and finish eating. Hey, here's so fish..."
Lin Jie fed a piece of fish without bones to Lin Miao, hoping in his heart that Lin Miao could live in her own ho, facing a table full of delicious food, and pick her favorite dishes.
He hoped that the day wouldn't be too far away!
Except for weekends and holidays when work started a bit earlier, Lin Miao would usually leave the house after 10 o'clock on normal weekdays.
After breakfast, she didn't go back to her room for a nap but stayed on the sofa chatting idly with Lin Jie.
"Brother, brother, in a few years, you will also find a girlfriend. What if your girlfriend doesn't like ? Will you make leave?"
While Lin Jie was washing dishes, thinking about his uncertain lifespan and future, he casually replied, "Brother won't find a girlfriend, and will always live with you until you find your ideal boyfriend!"
"How can that be, you can't let our Lin Family have no descendants, right?" Lin Miao continued to shout, "I won't find a boyfriend either, I can support myself, why find soone to upset ?"
"When you et a boy who makes your heart flutter, you won't say that!" Lin Jie naturally didn't believe her words.
"Finding soone like brother who doesn't despise and takes care of sincerely is too difficult. The likelihood of eting a bad guy is much higher; I won't take the risk!"
Lin Jie walked to the sofa, handed an apple to Lin Miao, and said, "It used to be you who took care of ! Alright, eat this apple, take a nap, and I'll call you when it's ti to go!"
Lin Miao finished the apple, lay on the sofa, and soon fell asleep.
A little after 9:00, Lin Jie heard a knock on the door. Upon opening it, he saw three people standing there!
Leading them was a man in his pri, handso and energetic-looking, wearing a simple short-sleeve shirt, trousers, and leather shoes.
To his left was a tall woman in her twenties, dressed in well-tailored, handcrafted, fitted dark professional attire, with a delicate and beautiful face.
On his right was a girl in a light dress, with a hint of childishness on her face, looking like a pretty little princess!
Upon seeing a breathable dical gauze on the girl's neck, Lin Jie imdiately recognized them.
The middle-aged man clasped his hands together in greeting, "Mr. Lin Jie, I am An Weize. This is my eldest daughter, An Kexin, and my younger daughter, An Keng. We have co to thank you for saving one's life!"
"You're too kind, please co in!" Lin Jie hurriedly invited them in.
Lin Miao, awakened by the noise, got up and drowsily asked, "Brother, are there guests?"
Lin Jie gently said, "Yes, there are guests, here to see ! Go wash up, there's still half an hour until you need to leave for work!"
Lin Miao, obediently getting off the sofa, put on her slippers, turned around and tidied up the sofa by feel, then stood up and smiled softly towards the An family's direction to show a warm welco, and then headed to the bathroom based on her mory.
Lin Jie introduced, "This is my younger sister, Lin Miao. Her eyesight is not very good!"
"Mr. An, Miss An, please have a seat!"
An Weize glanced at Lin Miao's back with a soft sigh, and after sitting down with his two daughters, said, "We should have co to thank earlier, but so trifles held us back, coupled with the hospital wanting to ensure Keng didn't have any infections or inflammations, so it's postponed, I hope Mr. Lin could understand this delay!"
Lin Jie understood what kind of trifles he was referring to, smilingly said, "No worries, you are much older than , just call by na; calling Mr. Lin is a bit embarrassing!"
After hesitating for a mont, he couldn't help but ask, "Did that matter get resolved?"
An Weize nodded, sighing, "It's resolved. After all, Keng is considered a beneficiary, so compensating so is only right!"
After saying that, he turned to An Keng, "Keng, go quickly and thank Lin Jie, he is your lifesaver!"
Since they t, An Keng, who had been curiously eyeing Lin Jie, stood up, picked up the corners of her skirt with her hands, elegantly crossed her legs, bent her body, and perford a classical Western curtsy, smiling, "Thank you, Lin Jie, for saving !"
"You are even younger and more handso than I imagined!"
Her voice was as crisp as a crystal wind chi in the spring afternoon, so pleasant to hear!
Lin Jie felt a bit embarrassed, as it was the first ti a girl had complinted him on being handso, though at most, neighbors would say he's good-looking like a girl.
Seeing Lin Jie showing a shy look resembling a boy next door, An Weize and An Kexin, who was quietly sitting aside, both smiled warmly.
"Lin Jie, afterward, I discussed your response with a surgeon friend of mine!"
An Weize chuckled, "He was surprised and said that such decisive action and precise intubation are not even easily done by an ergency doctor with ten years of experience! Lin Jie, you are truly soone special to my younger daughter!"
"I wouldn't dare claim to be special!"
Lin Jie modestly said, "I only know a bit of dicine, combined with so luck, it was your daughter's destined protection and deep blessings!"
An Weize shook his head, said, "A few years back, I visited a master in Putuo Mountain asking for a fortune-telling to my two daughters!"
"The master said back then, Keng would have a hurdle before sixteen, but a benefactor would help her through it, making it thrilling but ultimately safe!"
"After this happened, I rembered the master's words."
Feeling still shaken, An Weize said, "Lin Jie, do you know that today is only three days away from Keng's sixteenth birthday! Therefore, you indeed are Keng's benefactor!"
"Kexin!"
With An Weize's cue, An Kexin took out a card from her handbag, placed it on the coffee table, and softly said, "This is a token of appreciation from us, please kindly accept it!"
"Three days from now, we are hosting a party to celebrate Keng's sixteenth birthday and her having survived this ordeal, hoping you can spare the ti to attend!"
