“Lili, Sister Zhenzhen is just an agent. She can’t persuade the company’s management.”

Luo Jiu's words seemed to indicate that she had seen through reality, extinguishing all of Li Li's hopes.

"So... is that all there is to it?"

Luo Jiu remained silent, her beautiful eyes revealing no emotion.

"Ugh, I'm so angry!" Chestnut was restless and fidgety, as if she might explode at any moment.

"Sis, you rest, I'm going to calm down." Without waiting for Luo Jiu's reply, she stormed out.

Luo Jiu shook her head helplessly. He's still just a child.

Luo Jiu was lying in the hospital bed again, with only the white ceiling visible through the smoke.

So, Luo Jiu quickly made a decision. The weather was so nice, why not go out and soak up some sun, so she wouldn't get moldy?

Luo Jiu took a couple of steps and then stopped to rest. Looking at her arm, which was bandaged up like a pig's trotter, she sighed silently.

This is so annoying, when will this ever end?

She swung her arms and continued walking forward.

Suddenly, his head slammed into a wall, and to make matters worse, his arm also slammed into the wall with a loud thud.

"Whoosh...whoosh..."

Luo Jiu was in so much pain that tears almost streamed down her face.

Did I forget to check the almanac before going out? This is too difficult!

Just then, a man wearing a black T-shirt appeared in front of it, slowly raising its injured arm.

Are you alright?

A cool, clear voice came from the man's mouth, and it had a familiar feel to it.

Luo Jiu was startled by his sudden appearance and lowered her head to look at him, but the man was wearing a black mask that covered him completely, and Luo Jiu couldn't see anything at all.

The man ignored her and helped her to sit down on a chair by the garden.

"If you're injured, don't run around like that. You're always so reckless. What if you get hurt again?"

The man secured her arm before looking up at her.

Luo Jiu was caught off guard and bumped into the man's deep eyes.

His eyes were captivating, like twinkling stars in the night sky, mesmerizing. Luo Jiu had only ever seen eyes like that on one other person.

"Mr. Shen Jinchen?" Luo Jiu asked tentatively.

Although her eyes told her that the person in front of her was Shen Jinchen, her mind couldn't believe it.

When did she and the male lead become so close? Happiness came too suddenly, Luo Jiu needs to confirm it.

"Um."

The man smiled and took off the mask he had been wearing.

"No... how did you get here?"

Luo Jiu was a little confused. Seeing that Shen Jinchen didn't seem sick, she realized her words had been somewhat ambiguous and quickly said:

"What I mean is, how did I end up meeting you here?"

Shen Jinchen looked at her with a slightly conflicted expression, as if the question was difficult for him to answer.

"Some things."

"Oh, really?" Luo Jiu chuckled dryly. The atmosphere between the two cooled down again.

"I saw an ambulance from the film crew yesterday. I didn't expect you to be the injured one. What happened? It's so serious."

Chen Jinchen frowned, but even so, Luo Jiu couldn't help but sigh, "Handsome people are handsome even when they're angry."

So Luo Jiu recounted the incident from yesterday.

After listening, Shen Jinchen didn't speak, but tapped the chair with his fingers, which seemed particularly out of place in the quiet garden.

"What are you planning to do?"

Luo Jiu sighed, looked up at the sky, and slapped her legs. "I don't know. Just listen to my manager."

Shen Jinchen knew the intricacies of the entertainment industry; Luo Jiu, an unknown artist, wouldn't warrant such a major upheaval from the company's management.

However... seeing the weak, helpless, and pitiful Luo Jiu, Shen Jinchen couldn't help but feel compassion.

"Perhaps I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu was surprised for a moment. "No... no need. Maybe she just wanted to make a joke and didn't expect the prop to be so sharp."

Luo Jiu spoke as if stating a fact, or perhaps comforting herself. However, she didn't know that she had rejected an opportunity to curry favor with someone powerful.

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Jinchen's face; he hadn't expected the man in the dough to refuse so decisively. Then, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

A gentle breeze blew by, rustling the treetops and bringing a touch of coolness.

Luo Jiu crossed her legs and swayed them back and forth, closing her eyes to feel the gentleness of nature.

"I never expected to be able to enjoy the breeze and chat with you here. If your fans knew, they would be so envious of me."

Luo Jiu teased, her voice gentle and pleasant to the ear.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinchen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Is that so?"

Luo Jiu nodded repeatedly. "You're a top movie star, and the kind with stunning good looks. Don't you have some kind of misunderstanding about your own charm?"

Shen Jinchen seemed to realize something, shook his head noncommittally, and smiled.

Imagine a handsome man strolling in front of you, the kind who seems to have a built-in beauty filter, exuding an indescribable elegance and self-control in every gesture.

Luo Jiu was also a hidden, seasoned fan of good looks, only her standards were a bit high. Shen Jinchen's appearance and demeanor deeply attracted Luo Jiu, making her unable to resist the urge to make a move.

With a "click".

Shen Jinchen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked over. The voice was familiar, but he hadn't expected the little thing beside him to be so bold as to secretly take pictures of him right in front of him.

Luo Jiu awkwardly put her phone away. "Hehehe, sorry, I couldn't help it."

Luo Jiu glanced at the man again, noticing that he didn't speak and his eyes held an unreadable expression.

She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "If you don't like it, I'll delete it. Don't be angry."

Shen Jinchen took a deep breath and looked at her with a hint of helplessness. He opened one hand and offered it to her.

Luo Jiu: "??"

"Bring it here."

Luo Jiu opened the picture and carefully presented it with both hands.

"Actually, I think it looks great. If you don't like it, just delete it."

Luo Jiu was actually a little reluctant to part with the money, after all, who wouldn't want to keep a few photos of handsome men, especially since she was the one who took them.

Shen Jinchen looked at the picture; the man in it leaned against a stone pillar in the garden, his eyes slightly narrowed in enjoyment. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, casting dappled patterns on his face. Behind him were lush green trees, blooming flowers, a small bridge, and flowing water—a picture of serene beauty.

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as he handed the phone back to Luo Jiu.

"Send it to me."

Luo Jiu was flattered by these words. She added Shen Jinchen's WeChat in a daze, and then walked into the ward in a daze, as if she were still dreaming.
