The portions of the two small lunch boxes Xue Linlin brought were definitely not enough for two people.
Lin Jie had Guan Muhua bring over so takeout, which finally resolved their hunger problem.
After lunch, Lin Jie noticed that Xue Linlin actually had quite a good appetite.
Upon asking, he learned that Xue Linlin had been quite obedient. After leaving Xiangtai Apartnt that day, she went to a gym near her ho and got a yearly mbership.
Since that day, following the instructions of her fitness coach, Xue Linlin had been doing no less than two hours of aerobic training every day.
Her appetite had increased significantly due to these few days of exercise.
Lin Jie reminded her again: "It's entirely normal for a major surgery to take about seven to eight hours. If an ergency such as a major disaster occurs, doctors may work around the clock for two to three days without rest, which is also normal."
"So, to be a good doctor, you first need a strong, healthy body."
Xue Linlin promised, "Teacher, rest assured, I will take advantage of this ti to get into good physical shape. My parents are very supportive, and my mom even makes my dad work out with ."
"Is your dad a bit of a fatty?" Lin Jie asked jokingly.
Xue Linlin giggled and said, "Not really fat, just has a belly, like he's four or five months pregnant. My mom nags him every day, but my dad is just too lazy to move, haha..."
At this, she paused and said softly, "Teacher, ever since I started high school, I've been completely focused on studying. Now that I've suddenly stopped, it feels uncomfortable making the transition."
"Teacher, could you recomnd so books for ? You told to have fun, but I just can't relax."
What a truly diligent student.
Lin Jie thought for a mont and said, "Then co with ..."
He took Xue Linlin to Yao Henan's hospital room,
As soon as they entered the room, Lin Jie saw An Keng and Yao Henan sitting on the bed, their heads bent playing mobile gas.
The room was filled with An Keng's loud shouts of chopping and killing.
"Where's Xiaoxiao?" Lin Jie didn't see Zhang Xiaoxiao.
An Keng imdiately jumped off the bed and tossed the phone onto it, shouting, "Ah, Brother Jie, you're here."
"Sister Xiaoxiao... Sister Xiaoxiao went out to buy so fruit."
At this mont, An Keng noticed Xue Linlin standing next to Lin Jie, wrinkled her little nose, and hugged Lin Jie's arm affectionately, asking, "Brother Jie, why did you bring her here?"
"She's your classmate. I brought her over to get you both acquainted," he explained.
Lin Jie then introduced An Keng to Xue Linlin, saying, "You should know this one, right? My sister-in-law An Keng, and she's also your classmate in the dical class."
"The lovely girl on the bed is Yao Henan!"
Xue Linlin shyly and politely greeted, "Hello, An Keng! Hello, Yao Henan!"
An Keng just sniffed in acknowledgnt.
Yao Henan lightly nodded her head at Xue Linlin.
Lin Jie gently tapped An Keng on the head, chiding, "Be polite!"
"You two might be classmates or colleagues for eight years, maybe even longer. It's best to beco friends."
Receiving the critique, An Keng reluctantly said, "Hello, Xue Linlin, nice to et you."
Lin Jie ignored An Keng's little attitude and instructed, "Keng, teach Xue Linlin the finger and wrist exercises I taught you first."
"Also, Xue Linlin does more than two hours of exercise every day under her fitness coach's guidance. Your endurance training could use so work too, so you two can exercise together."
Hearing this, An Keng hurriedly explained, "Brother Jie, I often accompany my dad to the park for morning exercises, and I also do yoga at ho at night."
Lin Jie clicked his tongue and retorted, "Does a morning walk count as exercise? Yoga doesn't rank high in intensity either. Both you and Xue Linlin need endurance training."
He then gave An Keng a gentle nudge and said, "First, go teach Xue Linlin the finger and wrist exercises."
An Keng sighed with a long face and said to Xue Linlin, "Co with !"
The two walked over to the visitor's lounge area...
Lin Jie turned his gaze to Yao Henan's face. Although her face was still thin, it had regained a bit of healthy color.
"How's the taste of the nutritional als?"
Yao Henan replied softly, "Not bad, I can eat it, but the portions are a bit much."
Lin Jie explained softly, "That's unavoidable."
"I need to increase your body's fat percentage in a short ti. Your surgery is estimated to take no less than fifteen hours, which is a huge strain on the body."
"And the post-surgery recovery will also be quite a challenge for you..."
Lin Jie had told Yao Henan words to this effect before.
A faint smile crept on her face as she said, "I understand that you're doing all this to help recover sooner. I'll fully cooperate, and I can endure the postoperative hardships too."
Lin Jie nodded, "I believe that you're a very strong and obedient girl."
"Mm... Mm..."
After hesitating for a while, Yao Henan pleaded, "Uncle... Uncle, could I see my dad? I miss him."
It was the first ti Lin Jie heard the word "uncle" from Yao Henan's mouth, and he found it a bit odd.
He realized he had now beco an uncle-level figure.
Feeling a bit sentintal, he chuckled, "If you take good care of your health, and if there are no surprises, I'll take you to see your father next week."
"Really?"
Yao Henan sat up excitedly, her eyes shining.
Lin Jie nodded, "If everything goes well, you'll have surgery next week. Before the surgery, I'll take you to et your father."
"Thank you, Unc... Uncle!"
Yao Henan eagerly asked, "Uncle, after the surgery, will I be able to sit, lie, and walk like a normal person?"
Lin Jie thought for a mont and decided to be honest.
"Nannan, there's a possibility for you to make a full recovery, but that possibility is quite small!"
He explained, "Your bone injuries are too severe, plus there's so nerve damage. There's still a lot of uncertainty in the treatnt and recovery process."
"In the most ideal scenario, you'll be able to sit, lie, and walk like a normal person."
"The most likely scenario is your walking posture may have so abnormalities, possibly using a single crutch, an external leg, and foot braces, or other assistive tools to stand and walk."
"Also, even if your bone injuries fully heal, it's inevitable you'll feel so discomfort in cold and damp weather."
Yao Henan's little face first tensed up and then gradually relaxed, resolving herself, "Compared to my current situation, being able to stand and walk without others' help is the best outco."
"I shouldn't ask for too much."
Lin Jie let out a soft sigh and said, "Nannan, I'll do my best to restore you to the most desired state."
Yao Henan nodded vigorously, saying, "Uncle, I believe you. Sister Xiaoxiao and Aunt Keng have told so much about you, calling you a creator of miracles."
"Actually, I understand, being able to stand up again counts as a miracle."
Just then, Zhang Xiaoxiao ca back into the ward with a bag of fruit.
"Ah Jie, Nannan, I've got news for you."
Zhang Xiaoxiao announced happily, "The joint investigation team at Bowei International School just held a press conference, stating that there are significant issues with school managent that require a thorough investigation."
"Given this, Bowei International School will be indefinitely closed, and all students will be assigned to other schools..."
