Chapter 14

When Joey Nuo got home at night, she placed the snuff bottle in front of the table.

She took a photo of it and posted it on WeChat Moments without any caption.

Ten minutes later, while Joey Nuo was busy typing away, her phone beeped with a new message.

She picked up her phone and saw it was a message from Hou Lei: "Your idol is really something! He even gave you such a precious little gift."

She let out a snort of laughter and immediately replied, "Where, where!"

"It must have cost a fortune, right?" After a while, Hou Lei started bombarding her with messages, "Your idol never likes to be involved in scandalous hype. If this thing were posted on Weibo, it would definitely be a huge news."

Joey Nuo didn't respond. Spending the whole day with Luo Yize had given her a lot of inspiration. Especially this snuff bottle personally given to her by her idol, she seemed to sense that the inspiration for her new work stemmed from it. Even though it was a contemporary antique - style artwork, it contained her idol's hard work.

Because she needed to write, Joey Nuo had the desk lamp on. Under the dim light, she stared at the laptop screen and tapped on the keyboard. By the time she finished the outline and the first three episodes, Joey Nuo was completely exhausted. She closed the laptop and fell asleep right away.

It was already one o'clock in the morning.

Every screenwriter works hard. Going to bed at this time was considered early. Most of them hardly ever go to bed before two or three o'clock.

This episode alone was at least over ten thousand words. It took a lot of time to come up with the idea, and then she had to write the outline and the first three episodes.

The next day, just as the sky was turning white in the east, Joey Nuo woke up groggily.

She looked at the phone on the table. It was only seven o'clock in the morning. Her eyes felt extremely dry. She took out some eye drops from the drawer. After using them, she lay back on the bed and fell asleep again.

She had spent the whole day shopping yesterday. She was really worn out.

Since Luo Yize's new drama was about to be released, his schedule was almost fully booked. Moreover, he had taken on countless advertising endorsements and was constantly on the go every day.

As for Joey Nuo, she had a rather leisurely time during this period.

When Joey Nuo woke up, she found that it was already half - past ten in the morning. Since the filming of *Turn Around and Meet Love*, Joey Nuo had received a nice amount of payment, which was enough for her to pay the rent for this month.

She planned to go shopping. As soon as she stepped out of the community gate, she ran into Landlady Aunt Li.

When Aunt Li saw Joey Nuo, she greeted her head - on, "Hey, Yinuo, weren't you on a business trip these days?"

Joey Nuo nodded, "I just got back a few days ago."

She had just walked a short distance when Aunt Li caught up with her and said, "Yinuo, that..."

At this point, Aunt Li suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, Auntie? Isn't it not time to pay the rent yet?"

"No, no, I..."

After avoiding the gazes of passers - by, Aunt Li pulled Joey Nuo to the side and whispered, "I heard you've got a boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend?" Joey Nuo was startled.

"I saw it with my own eyes on the Internet yesterday. You were shopping on Xiushui Street with him. My daughter told me that your boyfriend is a movie star!"

Aunt Li took out her phone and continued, "If you don't believe me, take a look at the photo my daughter sent me..."

Photo? Could it be from yesterday on Xiushui Street...

Sure enough, and it had even made it onto the hot search list. There were a lot of different comments below.

She remembered that she had run into Ah Hai that day. No wonder Ah Hai had seemed so idle. She never thought that Ah Hai had been trying to get dirt on Luo Yize for a long time. His main job was to secretly take pictures of Luo Yize's whereabouts.

If she guessed correctly, this photo must have been taken by Ah Hai.

Joey Nuo paused for a long time and said seriously, "Aunt Li, I think you've misunderstood."

"It's such a great thing. How could it be a misunderstanding..."

"Things on the Internet aren't always true. Besides, he and I are just ordinary friends."

Aunt Li nodded, "Okay, don't worry. My daughter told me not to take it seriously."
