Joyno didn't say a word. She kept turning those four words over and over in her mind. He had never said such words to her before. The first time he did, his voice was so calm, but it made Joyno feel extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, Luo Yize started his career as a child star. All his previous works were about playing the roles of other people's childhood. She had never heard him say such words before.
This came too suddenly. Through the phone, with a distance of thousands of miles between them, he just asked her to wait for him to come back.
"Then, when will you be back?"
"I'll return the day after tomorrow. When are you available?"
"I... I'm okay anytime..."
"By the way, could you check my Weibo?"
...
Joyno didn't know what to say next. It wasn't until she hung up the phone that she realized that Luo Yize had already clarified the truth for her. In fact, the relationship between them wasn't as exaggerated as what was reported in the news.
Entertainment reporters make money this way. If they don't exaggerate things about certain celebrities, these news stories won't be so eye - catching. Just like screenwriters, a good movie or TV show won't be interesting without conflicts.
After getting off the bus, Joyno went to the nearby McDonald's and only ordered a McChicken burger combo. While eating, she was looking at Weibo. Even though the person involved in the news had clarified the matter, these entertainment reporters wouldn't let it go. They would just continue to follow up and report.
Looking at these overwhelming news reports, Joyno was already physically and mentally exhausted.
She immediately put on her headphones, opened the video app, and casually watched the once - popular "Treasure Appraisal" program on a certain TV station.
On the phone screen, it showed the host holding the treasure - protecting hammer and "eliminating the false and retaining the true" after the experts announced the appraisal results.
During the two days before Luo Yize came back, Joyno hardly slept at all. She was frantically typing at home. It was already twelve o'clock, but she was still full of energy.
On the day Luo Yize came back, the sky was clear.
Joyno went to the airport with Hou Lei to pick up Luo Yize. In the crowded airport, Luo Yize's pure and handsome face appeared in the crowd. A pure black suit made him stand out.
He shuttled through the circle surrounded by fans. The fans were holding up signs and shouting his name.
Suddenly, Joyno's phone rang.
"Where are you?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely noisy.
"There are too many people. I... I can't see you..."
Joyno stretched her neck as long as she could and tried to stand on her tiptoes to the highest point. Since she was very short, she had tried her best. But with the crowd being so dense, she couldn't find the direction of Luo Yize.
"Okay. I'm walking towards the underground garage now. You go and wait for me there."
It seemed that there were reporters' voices on the other end of the phone. One could imagine what kind of environment Luo Yize was in.
Luo Yize told Joyno the specific location of the underground garage.
Joyno nudged Hou Lei beside her: "Go and drive the car quickly. Make sure to pick up Aze when you get to the underground garage. I'll wait there."
The elevator went up very slowly, stopping for a long time on each floor. By the time Joyno got on the elevator, Luo Yize had probably already reached the underground garage, and Hou Lei had probably driven the car out.
After getting off the elevator, Joyno sent a message to Luo Yize, telling him that she had got off the elevator.
Soon, Luo Yize replied: "Okay. Wait for me at XX."
Rows of cars were driving out in an orderly manner. When the last car appeared, Hou Lei rolled down the window and told her to get in.
