Jono was fiddling with her phone when she noticed a piece of news going viral on the internet.
The pictures in the news were extremely eye - catching. Jono saw herself and Luo Yize. There were not only photos from the press conference but also the group photo of Luo Yize putting his arm around her in the bar last time.
Jono sensed something was off. Frowning, she read the whole news, only to find the content extremely vulgar.
She remembered that when she was a journalist, she never read her own reports for fear that they might not be as excellent as those in other newspapers.
But now, when she saw reports about herself, she thought it was such a superficial piece.
As a journalist with three to five years of experience in the entertainment industry, Jono finally understood how boring the job of an entertainment journalist could be. Sometimes, just one photo could give rise to all kinds of far - fetched and ridiculous news. Moreover, Luo Yize's ex - girlfriend, He Jing, was still pestering him aimlessly. Sometimes when Luo Yize was faced with the reporters' questions, he didn't know how to respond. Once he said something, he didn't know who would record it and post it online, pushing it onto the hot search list.
She couldn't fall asleep anymore. She quickly got out of bed, freshened up briefly, broke off a piece of toast, put her phone aside, and started typing.
She set her phone to vibrate. She wouldn't answer any calls asking about this matter.
At noon, after Jono finished writing an episode, she was about to order takeout when she found a series of missed calls on her phone.
And these missed calls were all from Luo Yize.
How did he get her phone number?
Without hesitation, Jono called him back. On the phone, Luo Yize's tone revealed a hint of worry after answering the call.
Jono pretended to be nonchalant. "Sorry to make you worry. My phone was charging and not by the bedside, so I got up late."
"Is it because of the news?"
"Um..." Jono paused. After thinking for a while, she realized he had guessed right.
If it weren't for the news, why would Jono ignore all the calls?
"Actually, I'm used to it," Luo Yize said calmly, with a touch of comfort in his words.
Jono was quite surprised. She used to think that Luo Yize was reluctant to answer the entertainment reporters' questions. Now it seemed that these issues were just a normal part of his life.
After all, Luo Yize had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and knew all the unspoken rules better than Jono.
Then, Luo Yize asked, "Let's go out for a meal."
She was just about to order takeout, and she never thought that she would be invited out by her idol.
She felt extremely suspicious.
Jono let out an "um" and said, "Coincidentally, I know a Haidilao Hot Pot on the sixth floor of Century Commercial Building. How about I treat you?"
"Don't be so polite. I'll pay for this meal. I just want to have a chat with you."
Jono clearly remembered that this wasn't the first time she had dinner with her idol. The first time was when she graduated from high school and Luo Yize was about to take the college entrance examination. It was Luo Yize's birthday then, and they had dinner in a restaurant in 798. That was the first time she met Luo Yize.
At the dinner table, Jono poured out her heart and told him her dream of becoming a screenwriter.
As a die - hard fan of Luo Yize, from the initial interactions on Weibo, to the close - range contact, and then to her idol starring in the script she wrote.
Among all his fans, Jono was the happiest one.
