Having safely made it into the doctor’s office, with reporters all around outside, Jian Anning finally let out a sigh of relief. She handed the payment form to the nurse, and they began to arrange for her surgery immediately.
Jian Anning didn’t want to deal with Lu Jiayuan and kept asking the attending doctor about the condition in the observation room next to the operating room, watching the surgery inside.
Lu Jiayuan also knew that Jian Anning didn’t want to talk to him. But it didn’t matter—her standing by his side at this moment was the greatest encouragement for him!
However, neither of them was related to the patient, so, logically, they had no right to stay in the observation room for long. A nurse came over and said, "I’m sorry, but you both need to leave, so as not to disrupt the progress of the surgery."
Jian Anning nodded, "Okay, we’ll leave right away."
Lu Jiayuan immediately asked, "How do you plan to face those reporters outside?"
Jian Anning’s tone was indifferent, "We’ll wait until Vincent gets here."
Although this time, Lu Jiayuan had been inadvertently dragged into her trouble, the reporters wanted to interview him, so she definitely couldn’t say much.
Lu Jiayuan suddenly leaned in close and said, "If someone asks—about the relationship between us two..."
Jian Anning turned to look at him, and Lu Jiayuan just smiled, "What are you nervous about? I’m just joking."
Jian Anning didn’t say anything, opened the door, and, sure enough, quite a few reporters surged forward.
Before they could speak, Lu Jiayuan stretched out his finger and put it to his lips in a hushing motion, "The patient is in surgery, please, everyone, quiet down for a moment."
Perhaps it was his charming smile, but the reporters really did stop talking and took a step back. The two had just come out when the door behind them closed again.
With that, the reporters no longer held back and immediately asked, "May we ask, Jason, who is the person having surgery inside?"
While speaking, Lu Jiayuan just received a WeChat message from Vincent—it seemed he had contacted Lu Jiayuan’s agent at Huasi Film and Television and received some news.
It was just a few words, "Report truthfully, guide positively."
That meant, did they want to make him out to be the hero who helped a colleague in the middle of the night?
So, Lu Jiayuan smiled and said, "Here’s the situation. The person undergoing surgery inside is one of our crew members. Everyone knows that we’re filming ’Rock Youth’ in a closed set, and it was quite late when we wrapped up tonight. I had a lot of scenes today and left the latest. On my way back, I saw that crew member feeling unwell, and her colleague (Lu Jiayuan pointed at Jian Anning) preparing to take her to the hospital. Since they were both women, and there was only me, a man, around, of course, I had to help get her here."
After asking Lu Jiayuan, the reporters turned to look at Jian Anning, "Is that right?"
Jian Anning nodded, "Yes. That crew member is my roommate, and we are from the same crew. I found her feeling unwell today and was planning to take her to the hospital. On the way, we ran into Jason, and he helped call an ambulance and brought my roommate here for treatment. I’m really grateful to you! Just now, the doctor said that if we had been half an hour later, my roommate’s condition might have been dangerous."
So that was it! The reporters’ faces showed respect as they looked at Lu Jiayuan.
A few reporters even joked, "Jason, are you sure the person inside isn’t your girlfriend?"
