Chapter 550: Acting Too Much?

"Young man, you said there is a doctor over there who can treat it?"

The woman's lips moved on the screen, and the lip-reading Expert translated her words.

She was trying to divert Ji Xiang's attention, but being inexperienced, she hurriedly picked a topic she herself was concerned about.

But as soon as these words were out, anyone with a little life experience knew that Ji Xiang's "dissuasion" had already taken effect.

"Director Li of the Interventional Department at the Affiliated Hospital said it can be treated... although it's not a one-hundred-percent success rate... but the probability is not low," Ji Xiang said, crying.

His head was slightly lowered; although two Camera Crews were filming from different angles, some words were still missed.

The lip-reading Expert was not a god; they could not translate when they could not see the lips.

While speaking, Ji Xiang viciously finished smoking the cigarette.

That cigarette was like his life; he smoked it in one breath down to the filter, and his life would also end at this point in time.

"How to treat it? What is the Interventional Department?" The female Patient could feel Ji Xiang's despondency and his determination, so she asked impatiently.

Ji Xiang did not speak; he raised his head and glanced at the woman.

"Go ask yourself." Ji Xiang wiped away a tear, took another deep drag, finished the cigarette completely, and looked as if he were prepared to jump down immediately.

The woman was so frightened that her legs trembled and her face turned pale.

She had already emerged from that obsession with seeking death, as Ji Xiang had, after all, given her a reason to live through his words.

After finishing the cigarette, Ji Xiang stood still, twisting the cigarette butt in his hand.

At this moment, Ji Xiang hesitated for a second, and one could tell at a glance that he usually had good living habits and moral standards. Smoking in the hospital was already the most excessive thing he could do, and he was wavering over what to do with the cigarette butt.

Even without it being explicitly stated, the woman saw this detail at a glance.

"I'll help you with it." The woman held onto the railing, slowly leaned closer, and reached out her hand.

"Thank you," Ji Xiang said, subconsciously trying to squeeze out a smile, but his smile was uglier than crying, and tears fell once again.

He reached out and handed the cigarette butt to the woman, and everyone was certain that Ji Xiang would jump off the building in the next step.

But in an instant, the woman's hand grabbed Ji Xiang's wrist.

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment; it seemed he had not expected this instantaneous role reversal at all.

"Young man, don't get excited," the woman said urgently and earnestly. "Your girlfriend wouldn't want you to be like this either. Calm down, calm down."

"Let go!" Ji Xiang waved his arm, and the woman stumbled, nearly falling off.

"Damn it!" Liu Zhuren nearly had a Myocardial Infarction seeing this scene; his lips were slightly cyanotic, and his hands began to tremble.

In the Review Room, the lip-reading Expert was also startled, forgetting to translate the following words, and stared blankly at the screen.

This action of Ji Xiang's... the acting seemed a bit over the top.

If he accidentally bumped the female Patient off, who would be held responsible?

It had already reached this point; quitting while ahead was the best choice.

The Guangtou Zhuchiren twisted his mouth and hurriedly clicked pause, freezing the image.

"Teacher Luo, it's fine, it's fine. This was recorded previously, and the patient has already been saved," the Guangtou Zhuchiren explained.

"I know, but I was still startled." The lip-reading Expert smiled bitterly. He picked up the purified water in front of him and twisted the cap twice, but failed to open it.

A guest beside him helped him unscrew the cap, and the lip-reading Expert took a light sip of water, not noticing that some droplets had spilled.

"Is Doctor Ji Xiang's approach a bit too aggressive?" one guest asked.

"I think it's alright," the Guangtou Zhuchiren said with a twisted mouth. "If you're going to act, you have to do it thoroughly. Although the female Patient was a bit confused by Doctor Ji Xiang's words, this kind of moment is relatively dangerous."

"Any small thing, detail, or movement will stimulate her and make her choose a more extreme method. Simply put, once the brain short-circuits, all previous efforts might be wasted. 'He who travels a hundred miles only gets halfway there at ninety,' and Doctor Ji Xiang is making a final effort," the Guangtou Zhuchiren said.

"But this is still too scary," a very young Traffic-driving idol muttered.

The Guangtou Zhuchiren glanced at the Traffic-driving idol.

His looks weren't as good as Ji Xiang's, he was shorter, and his physique was worse. How did the public's aesthetic become like this now? A thought flashed through the Guangtou Zhuchiren's mind.

"It's not like that." The lip-reading Expert steadied his mind and stood on the side of the Guangtou Zhuchiren to explain, "It's very obvious that the female Patient has high character. If it were someone with even a slight desire for revenge against society, they would have jumped directly. It would be best if they could crush two people to death; everyone dies together, and no one gets to have it good."

"Right!" the Guangtou Zhuchiren praised loudly. "From the previous details, we can see that the female Patient's character is actually quite good, so even though she still has doubts about the treatment now, she doesn't dare to take the risk and still wants to 'save' Ji Xiang first."

"The top-tier hunters all appear in the form of prey, is that it?" the Traffic-driving idol murmured.

"In short, Doctor Ji Xiang's slightly dangerous movements can actually dispel the female Patient's concerns." The Guangtou Zhuchiren suddenly stood up, walked to the screen, and pointed at Ji Xiang's hand.

"I don't know if everyone noticed this detail." The Guangtou Zhuchiren twisted his mouth and said seriously, "Doctor Ji Xiang's foot is hooked on the railing. Although the hand being held by the female Patient is not forcefully gripping hers back, it is ready to spring into action. I believe Doctor Ji Xiang is prepared; at the very least, he has considered some unexpected situations."

After the Guangtou Zhuchiren's reminder, the vast majority of the guests finally noticed this point.

"He is prepared?"

"No way, could it be that this was intentionally arranged by the production team?"

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The Guangtou Zhuchiren glared at that guest.

"This was an accident. Fan Dao and the Camera Crew followed for many days before filming it. But whether it can be broadcast depends on the patient's own wishes; I hope she will agree."

The last sentence was obviously said that day, and even the Guangtou Zhuchiren did not know if the things he and the guests said could be broadcast.

Everything was still unknown.

Therefore, the doubts of some guests who suspected it was content prepared by the production team did not hold water.

The group discussed for a short while, and the Guangtou Zhuchiren took control of the rhythm and started watching the recording again.

The female Patient's face was slightly turned, saying something to Ji Xiang.

This segment of the footage did not capture the female Patient's lips, and the lip-reading Expert could not translate or interpret the whole thing.

But several fragments confirmed the previous conjectures of the Guangtou Zhuchiren and the lip-reading Expert.

The female Patient's concerns had already faded, and she almost believed what Ji Xiang had said.

She had hope, the desire to live was burning again, and she herself did not notice the role reversal; she had changed from the one being saved to the one "saving" someone.

This transition was not abrupt; everyone witnessed it the whole way, and most of the words were also translated by the lip-reading Expert.

The result was very smooth; under the "reproach" of the female Patient, Ji Xiang left the hanging platform with her.
