Joey Nuo deliberately avoided him, saying she was a bit tired and needed to rest.
"Go and rest," Luo Yize said. He still sat beside the hospital bed, making it impossible for Joey Nuo to rest in peace.
She couldn't stand it anymore, but she didn't dare to drive Luo Yize away, so she could only remain silent.
During this period, Joey Nuo had spent a long time with Luo Yize. Before, when Luo Yize was hospitalized due to a neck injury, it was Joey Nuo who sacrificed her own time to accompany him. At that time, a special spark had ignited between them.
However, at first, Joey Nuo tried every means to avoid Luo Yize. Since they made their relationship public, Joey Nuo felt she couldn't escape anymore. Moreover, it was Luo Yize who personally carried her into the hospital when she fell ill.
There were a great many people in the hospital emergency department. By the time she saw the doctor and got an IV drip, Luo Yize was completely exhausted.
After much thought, since he had gone through so much trouble for her, why should she drive him away?
At this moment, He Jing suddenly came. She was carrying a basket of fruits, looking full of sincerity.
He Jing put the fruits on the tea table beside the bed. With a beaming smile, she said to Joey Nuo, "Sister Nuo, are you feeling better?"
Joey Nuo nodded but didn't say a word.
He Jing looked at Joey Nuo's complexion. After a serious illness, she seemed to have a bit of color in her face.
"A Ze is here too. I've heard all about it. You've really worried yourself sick for her," she said, and at the same time, she took out an apple from the basket and handed it to Luo Yize. "Here, have some fruit."
Luo Yize picked up the apple and put it on the tea table. "I'd like to have a talk with you."
The two of them went to the hospital corridor. Seeing He Jing smiling at him, Luo Yize's expression was extremely cold.
Luo Yize was enthusiastic towards everyone except He Jing, but the two of them were still quite familiar with each other.
Despite this, He Jing still wore a big smile. "A Ze, I heard from Director Li that it was a bit cold during the night - shooting that day. She got wet and caught a cold, so I came to visit."
"So you had already talked to Director Li beforehand, right?"
"Yes. Director Li is not only worried about Sister Nuo's condition, but most importantly, the shooting progress. So..."
"You want to take this opportunity to replace Yi Nuo," Luo Yize's words were extremely powerful. "He Jing, stop daydreaming. Once a decision has been made, no one can change it. Unless Yi Nuo is really unfit to be the leading actress. Director Li's recognition of Yi Nuo, whether it's her acting skills or her character, is a thousand or even ten - thousand times higher than yours."
After hearing this, although He Jing felt ashamed, she still behaved quite naturally. "A Ze, you've misunderstood some things. If I had such thoughts, would I still come to see her? Moreover, we're good sisters in private..."
"Enough! Do you think I can't see through you?"
Luo Yize's aggressive words immediately made the smile on He Jing's face freeze.
Luo Yize continued, "I know exactly what kind of person you are. Remember how you treated me when we were together?"
He Jing understood what Luo Yize meant. It would be better not to mention this matter. The more he mentioned it, the softer her heart became.
She still remembered that when Luo Yize broke up with her, she hugged him and cried, saying that she truly loved him.
But Luo Yize still broke up with her decisively.
The fact was that every time Luo Yize checked He Jing's chat records, he saw the nickname of another man, and their conversations were quite ambiguous.
Especially one sentence that was extremely eye - catching to Luo Yize:
"Next Friday night, the old place. See you there."
It seemed like a very simple and old - fashioned routine, but just thinking about it now, Luo Yize felt it was such a disgraceful thing. He Jing had been hiding this from him for a very long time. In fact, she had had a boyfriend a long time ago, and the two of them had been in love all along.
Luo Yize even found out that the old place was a KTV near the Greenland Paradise Walk.
Not only that, Luo Yize even saw that the two of them were not only singing The Beatles' "Yesterday" together, but after the song, He Jing was being very affectionate with that man, which really shocked Luo Yize.
"A Ze, do you still suspect me even now?"
"Stop covering it up. You asked Director Li about my whereabouts, and then under the pretext of visiting, you actually came to ask me to get back together with you. Listen carefully, He Jing. If you have any self - awareness, just give up your idea immediately. It's more important to focus on yourself. And as you can see and know, the reason I've worried so much about Yi Nuo is that I love her!"
Tears started to stream down He Jing's face. She shook her head, and her emotions seemed to be out of control. "No... no... I don't believe it. I don't believe it! Luo Yize, I'll tell you the truth. Yes, I do know Director Li, and we're familiar with each other. I did want to take advantage of Joey Nuo's illness to replace her with myself. But you have to understand, I'll make you understand my good intentions. Everything I've done is for you!"
"Humph, it's okay. I'll let you wait slowly. Sooner or later, I'll prove all this to you!"
After saying that, Luo Yize shook off He Jing and walked back into the ward without looking back.
These words made He Jing collapse on the ground instantly.
"I'd rather believe that yesterday... I must have said something wrong. Now how I long to go back to yesterday." The familiar lyrics echoed in her ears.
She believed that she still had feelings for him, but she couldn't believe that he had lost his feelings for her.
She believed that they could sooner or later go back to their yesterday, but the reality was always beyond her fantasy.
Luo Yize didn't go back to the ward. He walked to the other end of the corridor, took out his phone, and dialed his special assistant's number.
"Tell Director Li to replace me and Joey Nuo's roles in this drama. I won't cooperate with him anymore in the future."
After saying this, he felt extremely bitter inside. He didn't expect that Director Li and He Jing's relationship would be so close. If it weren't for He Jing's close relationship with Director Li, Director Li wouldn't have told her about Luo Yize's whereabouts, nor would he have told her that Joey Nuo had suddenly fallen ill.
That night, Luo Yize sat alone in a KFC near the hospital. He ate the fragrant burger and drank the cold soda, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
At this time, his special assistant called and told Luo Yize that Director Li wanted to meet him alone about this matter.
