In late July, Shi Jing and Qi Yan discussed going to a film and television base in another province. Qi Yan's brother helped them find a friend who worked on a film crew, so they could go inside and watch the filming.
They heard that the film crew was filming at the film and television city in Zhoushan, where many popular period dramas were shot, and Shi Jing and the other two were very interested.
They discussed what to bring and how many photos they wanted to take.
As they were discussing, Shi Jing's phone rang. Seeing that it was Rong Yu calling, she answered it immediately.
However, it wasn't Rong Yu's voice that came from the other end, but a calm, middle-aged woman's voice: "Hello, this is Dingdu East Hospital. Are you a family member of the owner of this phone?"
"I'm his friend, what happened?" The hospital called her using Rong Yu's phone. Could something have happened?
"Hello, this is the situation. The patient collapsed from exhaustion on the roadside, and we can't contact any other people in the family. Do you know if you can get in touch with the patient's family?"
"He fainted? Is he alright?" Shi Jing was taken aback and quickly asked.
"The patient is still unconscious due to fatigue and mild heatstroke, but has been given emergency treatment and is temporarily out of danger. However, there are some procedures and treatment fees that need to be processed. Also, if you have the contact information for the patient's family members, could you please provide it to me?" The middle-aged woman on the other end of the phone answered patiently.
Judging from the response on the phone, it didn't seem to be a scam. The most important thing now was to make sure he was alright. Shi Jing felt a little relieved and replied, "I can't contact his family. Please help him with treatment first. I'll contact a friend to come and pay the fees right away."
Although Shi Jing didn't know Rong Yu's parents, she knew from her usual interactions with Rong Yu that his relationship with them was just so-so. Going to his parents at this time might not be of any use; it was better for her to think of a solution herself.
"Okay." The person on the other end was relieved to hear Shi Jing's arrangements.
Shi Jing asked the other party for the specific address, and after hanging up the phone, she immediately made a call to Lin Mengmeng.
Before the Spring Festival, Shi Jing had a brief encounter with Lin Mengmeng, and they occasionally kept in touch afterward. In Dingdu, besides Rong Yu, Shi Jing was only slightly familiar with Lin Mengmeng, so when something happened, Shi Jing's first reaction was to contact her.
"Xiao Jing." Lin Mengmeng answered the phone immediately.
"Sister Meng, do you have some time right now? Could you please make a trip to Dingdu East Hospital for me?"
Sensing the urgency in Shi Jing's tone, Lin Mengmeng didn't refuse, but said, "I can't leave right now, but my boyfriend is nearby and can go there. What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jing felt relieved and told Lin Mengmeng about Rong Yu's situation. Lin Mengmeng didn't delay and immediately agreed.
"Sister Meng, then I'll trouble you. I'll buy the tickets and head over in a bit. I'll treat you and your husband to dinner another day."
Lin Mengmeng was amused by Shi Jing's words and said repeatedly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Shuang and Qi Yan were also looking at her. Shi Jing hadn't hidden herself from people while answering the phone, so both of them had heard it.
They both knew that Shi Jing and Rong Yu had a good relationship, and that they had all received some help from Rong Yu through study materials. Therefore, when they heard that he was in trouble, they were both quite worried.
"How is Rong Yu now? Are you going there now?"
"The hospital said he's fine, but he's still unconscious and needs to be hospitalized. I'll go back and get my ID card and go see him."
Qi Shuang nodded quickly: "It's good to go and take a look, but you need to be careful if you go alone."
"Okay, don't worry. My training this past year hasn't been for nothing," Shi Jing replied. "You guys have fun, I'll go back and get my things, I'll come find you another day."
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful on the road."
After saying goodbye to the two, Shi Jing took a taxi home. Xia Tian's luggage was simple; Shi Jing quickly packed a suitcase, grabbed her documents, and then took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
She made her way there without delay, but there was a traffic jam on the way, and she didn't arrive at the hospital until 6 p.m. The traffic in the capital is very heavy at night, and the short journey of ten minutes took her almost an hour. If she didn't have luggage, she would have walked there.
Dingdu is a large metropolis with a very dense population. Dingdu East Hospital is a top-tier tertiary hospital, and it receives a large number of patients. The emergency room is also bustling with people; even though it was already evening, the number of patients and ambulances remained high.
On the way here, Jing had already contacted Lin Mengmeng. Rong Yu had just woken up and was currently receiving intravenous fluids, but was in good condition.
Shi Jing asked a nurse at the emergency service desk and quickly found Rong Yu's bed for the IV drip.
Rong Yu was receiving an IV drip, and beside him was a well-dressed man who looked to be around thirty years old. If I'm not mistaken, this man should be Lin Mengmeng's boyfriend.
As soon as Shi Jing passed by, Rong Yu quickly spotted him dragging a suitcase.
"I'm so sorry, Shi Jing, for making you come all this way." Rong Yu felt very apologetic looking at Shi Jing, who had rushed over in such a hurry.
"It's nothing," Shi Jing said indifferently. She considered Rong Yu a friend, and if a friend was in trouble, she would definitely help if she could.
The man accompanying Rong Yu also stood up at this moment, looked at Shi Jing with a smile and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Shi. I am Mengmeng's boyfriend, Chen Rongtai."
"Hello, Brother Chen. Thank you so much for troubling you and Sister Meng today." Shi Jing extended his hand to shake hands and greet the other party.
"Not at all, I happen to be nearby, it's no trouble at all," Chen Rongtai said very politely.
Seeing that she had arrived, Chen Rongtai did not linger. After greeting her, he said he was leaving. Shi Jing was busy at the moment and did not try to stop him, but thanked him profusely as she saw him off.
Shi Jing was very grateful for the help Lin Mengmeng and her boyfriend provided, given how sudden the incident was.
She returned to the bedside, glanced at the IV drip Rong Yu was receiving, and saw that the bottle was almost empty. She asked, "How many bottles are left?"
"The nurse said there's another bottle left after this one is finished, it should take another hour."
"Hmm, it's getting late. Are you hungry? I'll order you something to eat." Shi Jing checked her phone; it was already 6:30.
Rong Yu still didn't look well and shook his head without any appetite: "I'm not hungry, you can order some for yourself."
Shi Jing didn't insist. Since Rong Yu wasn't hungry, they decided to find a place to eat after the IV drip was finished.
Putting aside the issue of food, Shi Jing thought about asking the doctor in charge of Rong Yu how he was feeling and if there was anything he should pay attention to.
The emergency room was always crowded, and Shi Jing finally managed to get a few moments to speak with the doctor. After learning why Shi Jing had come, the emergency room doctor explained Rong Yu's condition very carefully.
In short, Rong Yu's sudden fainting was due to a weakened immune system caused by excessive fatigue, coupled with the recent hot weather. Although she is out of danger after emergency treatment, she still needs to take good care of herself.
Although you don't need to take any medication, you should pay attention to keeping a cool environment, eating more foods rich in sugar, and seeking medical attention promptly if you experience any further discomfort.
The doctor also specifically instructed Shi Jing to be careful, as Rong Yu's physical condition was not good to begin with, and he must not be allowed to squander his health just because he was young.
It was only then that Shi Jing realized just how poor Rong Yu's health was. Long-term malnutrition coupled with overwork meant that something bad was bound to happen sooner or later. Fortunately, he was discovered by passersby and taken to the hospital in time; otherwise, it would have been truly dangerous.
Shi Jing thanked the doctor and walked back with a gloomy expression. How could this person ruin his body like this?
