"Of course," he replied with a slight smile, his expression very warm, "but may I say farewell to the crew first? They still have filming tasks at hand. —— And please, make sure you keep this a secret and don’t let the paparazzi catch any of this!"
A group of people nodded vigorously, like little chicks pecking at the ground, and patted their plump chests heroically, "Don’t worry! They won’t get through unless they step over our dead bodies!!!!"
This kind of dramatic dialogue typical of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas was surprisingly potent, expressing their loyalty, and then the hospital doctors and nurses filed out one by one.
It was at this time that Yu Zexiao turned around to look at the people in the crew.
"Director Li, I’ll leave it to you," Yu Zexiao rarely spoke so meekly, and Director Li nodded, "If you’re physically fit, make sure to come back to the set as soon as possible."
Yu Zexiao nodded, "Of course."
Director Li didn’t have much to instruct, and fortunately, neither Yu Zexiao nor Jian Anning had any serious physical ailments, so he was half relieved. The filming workload was still heavy, and there were less than ten days left until the TV series was scheduled to conclude.
Although working with Yu Zexiao indeed attracted many viewers, the director felt that filming with him could potentially shorten his own life by ten years! Too much hassle!
As the director left, naturally, other crew members followed suit. The only one who lingered behind was Lu Jiayuan who gave the two a deep look. However, he didn’t say anything and just departed.
---------------------
In the hospital room.
With the crowd having dispersed, only the two of them remained together.
In fact, the hospital room wasn’t as bad as Yu Zexiao thought. After all, it was a second-tier top-grade hospital, and the room was one of the best they had, a private room, which was quite clean and spacious.
It was just that Yu Zexiao’s standards were too high, too picky. Besides, they were only staying in the hospital for one day; they could just make do without changing clothes for one night.
However, now that the two were left alone, Jian Anning finally started to notice, lacking common ground, she didn’t know what she should talk to Yu Zexiao about!
After thinking it over, she asked, "Zexiao, you’ve been to the United States before, right?"
Now that she had decided to be with him, she naturally wanted to understand him more.
Yu Zexiao nodded, "I’ve been there many times."
Whether it was traveling with his parents when he was young, studying abroad during his school years, or attending events as an artist, he had been to the United States numerous times.
"Did you study at Princeton? I heard you got a full scholarship?"
Princeton is a prestigious Ivy League university, ranking in the top ten in the United States. She had done her research on him prior to becoming Yu Zexiao’s assistant.
"Yes," Yu Zexiao nodded.
"That’s quite impressive!" Jian Anning genuinely admired him. Getting a full scholarship to a famous institution like Princeton was an extraordinary feat.
"It’s nothing, just saved a sum of money. Isn’t Mo Siyu also from Princeton?" Yu Zexiao considered. But that guy had spent a hefty annual tuition fee from his family to go with him.
