Joyno stepped out of the community gate.
She walked to the bus stop. While sitting there waiting for the bus, she took out her phone and mindlessly scrolled through Douyin.
Now, whether it's Weibo, Douyin, or even Toutiao, news about Joyno and Luo Yize is everywhere.
As someone who used to be an entertainment journalist, she often exposed others. Only now did she realize that when she herself was being exposed by the media and a scandal was fabricated about her one day, it was completely unexpected. When she exposed the unspoken rules of a well - known director, she was as merciless as the media were in digging into Luo Yize's private life now.
Now, as a screenwriter, Joyno regretted her past actions of exposing others' unspoken rules. She finally realized that being an entertainment journalist was a very ruthless profession.
Now, the journalists were digging into her own private life.
It took twenty minutes to take the bus to the central park. Joyno entered the north gate of the park, walked three hundred meters, and mindlessly watched the old people doing Taijiquan in a small woods on the left.
Suddenly, from the crowd doing Taijiquan, she saw a middle - aged woman in her fifties walking towards her.
This was Joyno's mother. It was a weekday. If her mother knew she was in the park when she wasn't working, she was surely in for trouble.
Joyno tried to avoid her, but she couldn't escape her mother's sharp eyes.
"Why are you here, Yino?"
Before Joyno could explain, her mother immediately asked, "I heard you've got a boyfriend, and he's a big star?"
Joyno felt like crying. She quickly explained, "No, it's fake..."
Over there, several old men were still seriously doing Taijiquan.
"Can a boyfriend be fake? The photos are already on the Internet..." As soon as her mother heard this, she immediately perked up and pulled Joyno aside by the hand.
Her mother continued, "Look at you. You don't even tell Mom such a good thing. You... You should at least bring him home for Mom to take a look!"
"Actually, between us..."
"Actually what? Have you maybe even got married?" Her mother had a knowing look on her face.
Joyno didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, you've misunderstood. It's just hype!"
"Hype?" Her mother frowned, looking half - understanding.
"Of course. I used to be a journalist. Don't you think I understand this? Think about it. Nowadays, these celebrities, one day they're reported to be getting married, the next day someone's getting divorced, and then the day after, some celebrity is getting remarried. If they don't use these things for hype, how can they attract so much attention?"
So, it was obvious that this was just media hype. In this circle, any relationship with someone needed to be made public.
But for the middle - aged and elderly people, they had no idea what hype was. They all believed it to be true.
For the rest of what her mother said, Joyno mostly let it go in one ear and out the other. She pretended to be crazy to deal with it and then quickly left the small woods. Before leaving, her mother specifically told her, "Remember to bring your boyfriend home for us to take a look next time!"
"Got it, got it!" Joyno replied impatiently.
Finally, after walking several miles, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Joyno finally understood that once such a thing came out, everyone in the world would know about it.
It was almost noon when she finished strolling in the park. What she needed to do now wasn't to have lunch, but to quickly call Luo Yize to explain the situation.
If she didn't explain quickly, it might really become a fact.
"Aze, am I... disturbing you?"
Luo Yize laughed softly. "It's okay..."
Joyno quickly got back to the point and started to apologize in a low voice. "Sorry. Actually, between us..."
"It's okay. Don't worry about those tabloid news."
"How about you over there?"
"Everything's fine here. How about you?"
She gave a soft grunt.
"Wait for me to come back!"
After hearing this, Joyno was extremely surprised.
