In this situation, Joyno was already quite certain. Once Ahai ran into her and, taking advantage of the matter between her and Luo Yize, got hold of something to use against her.
To scheme against others and secure a more prominent position for himself, Ahai was quite capable of such things.
In response, Joyno immediately called Luo Yize.
"Aze, I..."
"What's up, honey?"
Hearing these three words, Joyno was momentarily speechless.
"You... don't take it to heart. I want to tell you..."
"Go ahead. What is it?"
"For the time being, promise me that we won't meet anymore."
Joyno originally didn't want to be so definitive, but faced with these boring reports, she had no choice.
Joyno continued, "Actually, my wish was just to have you star in my work. Achieving that would have been enough for me. After all, our social statuses are so different. So from now on, let's not meet again."
On the other end of the phone, Luo Yize didn't understand what she meant. As someone who usually didn't care about anything, he was also confused about what had happened.
Just as he was about to speak, Joyno had already hung up the phone resolutely.
Not long after hanging up, Joyno felt a chill in her heart. She knew she had spoken too absolutely, but she didn't mean anything else by it.
These boring news reports had already caused her a great deal of trouble. As long as they were together, they might be secretly photographed at any time, and all sorts of gossip would be fabricated.
If the male lead of her *Turning Around to Meet Love* hadn't been Luo Yize in the first place, perhaps none of these things would have happened.
But this had been her dream for many years. For the sake of her idol, she had endured hardships, faced setbacks from various industry insiders, and witnessed all kinds of looks before finally entering the field of screenwriting.
Now, as an unemployed person, without the job of a screenwriter, Joyno couldn't even earn a basic salary. How could she pay the rent or even solve her living problems?
Tears began to blur Joyno's eyes and redden her eye sockets.
She lay on the bed and began to cry silently.
For several consecutive days, Joyno stayed at home. She neither took on any cooperation projects from film and television companies nor went shopping. Even when she did go out, it was just a stroll in the neighborhood. As soon as she stepped out, everyone in the neighborhood knew about her, and they would ask about the news reports when they saw her.
In the end, Joyno decided to stay at home all day and not even leave the neighborhood.
Due to all the stimuli, Joyno went to bed early every night and got up at around five or six in the morning. After breakfast, she would lie in bed, either looking at her phone or sleeping. One day, she suddenly received a call from Hou Lei:
"Yino, why did it take you so long to answer my call?"
Joyno squinted her eyes and said, "My phone has always been on silent. Don't you know that?"
"You're deliberately avoiding me, aren't you? I've been calling you for days, and you never answer."
"I've just finished filming. I'm taking a few days off for myself. I haven't even taken on any tasks. Is that not okay?"
As Joyno said this, she was about to hang up the phone and go back to sleep.
"I'm calling you about something urgent, something really important. You need to be mentally prepared."
After hearing this, Joyno was stunned on the spot, and most of her drowsiness disappeared.
"Don't scare me. What exactly happened?"
"Your idol had an accident," Hou Lei said simply.
Joyno immediately sat up in bed. "What? Is it serious?"
"This is already his second injury while filming. The last time was when he was thirteen. He fell off a bike while filming a movie and broke the humerus of his right arm. This time, he was guest - starring in a costume drama, playing a villain. There were fight scenes, and the wire snapped while he was on the harness. He fell and injured his neck. It was sometime last night. By the way, do you want to go now? He's in the hospital."
"Are you kidding? Is it appropriate for me to go?" Joyno shook her head.
"What's inappropriate? General Manager Zhao and many others have gone. You can just go as a friend to visit."
After some discussion, Joyno still chose to go to the hospital.
After all, he was her idol. How could Joyno not care?
Previously, the only time she had gone to the hospital to visit someone was when a relative was hospitalized. Now that her idol was in the hospital, as a devoted fan, she would go without hesitation, despite all the reports.
Following the location sent by Hou Lei, Joyno took a taxi and arrived at the hospital in less than half an hour. The corridor in front of the hospital ward was almost blocked by reporters. When Joyno approached, the reporters turned their cameras towards her.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Qiao? We heard that you're a devoted fan of Mr. Luo. Can we interview you for a few minutes?"
Joyno shook her head and walked through the circle of reporters. She saw He Jing at the door of the ward.
"Why are you here?" He Jing looked at Joyno in surprise.
At the same time, Joyno also looked at He Jing in surprise. "Sister He Jing, aren't you filming?"
"I heard that Aze was injured, so I asked for leave from the crew and came to visit."
