Huayu: This director is so eager to improve.

Chapter 47 Gan Ning TV

"Low blood sugar?"

Qi Yue paused for a moment, then subconsciously moved his wrist.

In my past life, I was a criminal police officer. Working long nights, staking out locations, and working non-stop were commonplace for me. I could endure days and nights without sleep without ever making a mistake.

In this life... isn't this body too fragile?

I've been so focused on filming these days, it seems I need to put physical training on my agenda. Just adding skill points through the system won't make up for this physical weakness.

As he was pondering this, a warm fragrance wafted to his nose.

Li Qing had already sat down by the bedside with a bowl of steaming hot, soft and sticky porridge, gently stirring it with a spoon to cool it down.

"The doctor said it's nothing serious, but I need to rest and get some nutrition."

She scooped up a spoonful, carefully blew on it, and brought it to Qi Yue's lips.

"Have something to eat first, try my congee with preserved egg and lean pork."

Qi Yue stared at the soup spoon so close to his face, his body stiffening almost imperceptibly.

In both his past and present lives, apart from being fed like this by his mother when he was sick as a child, he had never experienced this scene before.

"Actually... I can do it myself." He tried to reach for the bowl.

"No!"

Li Qing's tone was unusually firm. She pulled the bowl back slightly, avoiding his hand, her gaze unwavering.

"Now that you're a patient, you should be taken care of. Ah—"

Another spoonful was brought to his mouth, with an unquestionable "feeding" posture.

Qi Yue looked at her slightly flushed yet unusually stubborn face, remained silent for two seconds, and finally compromised by leaning forward slightly and eating the porridge from her hand.

The warm porridge slid down my esophagus, spreading warmth and effectively relieving my stomach discomfort and physical fatigue.

Li Qing's hands were steady, and his eyes were focused, as if he were completing an extremely important task.

For a moment, only the faint sound of a spoon lightly touching the rim of a bowl could be heard in the ward.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the snow-white sheets.

An indescribable, almost tranquil atmosphere formed between the two.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

With a soft "bang," the ward door was pushed open from the outside.

Accompanied by a loud voice:

"Qi Yue, you're finally awake! That phone call last night almost scared the wits out of me!"

Guo Fan, carrying a fruit basket, rushed in, his face showing a mixture of relief and lingering fear.

She placed the fruit basket on the bedside table and began to observe Qi Yue's expression.

"You look alright, your face isn't as pale as yesterday. Seriously, you don't have to work this hard! Is work more important than your life? Oh, right, I have to thank Li Qing, if she hadn't noticed in time..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Li Qing was still holding a bowl of porridge, and that there seemed to be some traces of porridge still around Qi Yue's mouth.

When he came in, Li Qing quickly withdrew her hand, her cheeks flushed even more, and she lowered her head, pretending to tidy up the bowls and spoons.

Guo Fan's eyes subtly swept between the two of them, and his face showed an "Oh, I understand" expression, but he wisely didn't say anything.

"Qi Yue, what exactly happened yesterday? Li Qing, how did you find out about him?"

Qi Yue also looked at Li Qing. His last memory was of a sudden dizziness and darkness in front of the editing screen.

"I...I don't actually know the exact time," Li Qing said softly, her voice still trembling with fear.

"Last night I... passed by your building and saw the lights were still on. I thought Director Qi must be staying up late again, so... I went up to remind him to get some rest. But no one answered the door when I knocked. I was a little worried, so I used the spare key that Brother Fan had given me to open the door and found you lying on the ground... I was terrified and immediately called 120."

After listening, Qi Yue remained silent for a moment, then sincerely said:

"Thanks."

"No, it's nothing, it's nothing," Li Qing quickly waved his hand.

"Oh, at least everyone's alright!"

Guo Fan patted his chest, pulled up a chair, sat down, and lowered his voice, his tone filled with excitement.

"Oh, right, I have some good news! I just received confirmation that Gansu TV has basically confirmed they will be importing 'Day and Night'..."

"stop!"

A crisp, unequivocal interruption brought Guo Fan to an abrupt halt.

Li Qing put down her bowl of porridge, put her hands on her hips, and stood between Qi Yue and Guo Fan, her small face stern as she looked at Guo Fan with unusual seriousness.

"Brother Fan, the doctor said that Director Qi needs absolute rest and quiet recuperation right now! He shouldn't worry about work or overexert himself!"

She then turned to Qi Yue.

"Director Qi, let's talk about work after we're discharged from the hospital, okay? Right now, what you should be doing is eating well and getting plenty of rest!"

Guo Fan was taken aback by the sudden "head nurse" aura. After glancing at Li Qing, who had a serious expression, he could only raise his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, Nurse Li is right! It's my fault for disturbing the patient's rest! Qi Yue, you take good care of yourself, I'll handle things with 'White Night'! I'll leave now, you guys... enjoy your meal and rest!"

However, just as Guo Fan was about to leave, his clothes were grabbed by someone.

The force was not great, and it was also very subtle.

Qi Yue then turned to Li Qing, who was still "supervising," and spoke in a very natural tone.

"I don't think I saw that jacket I was wearing earlier. Li Qing, did you see it?"

Li Qing's attention was immediately diverted; she stood up and looked around the ward.

"Your coat? I don't think I saw it when the ambulance brought it here. Director Qi, are you feeling cold? I'll ask the nurse to turn up the air conditioning."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Qi Yue paused, then ran his fingers along his chin.

"Could you please stop by the convenience store and buy me a razor while you're at it?"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Li Qing had no doubts and immediately nodded in agreement. He turned around and quickly walked out of the ward, carefully closing the door behind him.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door gradually fade away, Qi Yue finally released Guo Fan's wrist and let out a long sigh of relief.

He gestured with his chin toward Guo Fan:

"That girl has an excessive sense of responsibility. If we don't use this trick to get rid of her, she'll stay here forever. Alright, Brother Fan, let's continue talking about the TV station."

Guo Fan was taken aback, only then realizing the meaning behind his actions just now, feeling both amused and helpless.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

He knew Qi Yue too well. This man was like a spring; the greater the pressure, the higher he bounced. The only way to get him to lie obediently in bed as a patient was to actually pass out.

"You..."

Guo Fan shook his head, sat down again, and his tone became serious again.

"Gansu-Ningxia Satellite TV, although it can't compare to Star TV, Dolphin TV, or Mango TV, is still a legitimate provincial satellite TV platform, and its coverage is definitely sufficient."

"What time slot are you given?" Qi Yue asked directly.

"...Nine o'clock." Guo Fan uttered two words, his voice tinged with a hint of frustration.

"Not during prime time?" Qi Yue smirked, his gaze fixed on the snow-white ceiling, his tone flat.
