Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 909 - 568: Alone

Zhou Yun listened to Yuk Chu and couldn’t help but sigh.

She could tell that Yuk Chu actually still had feelings for Yin Zhou; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so concerned about Yin Zhou’s matters and wouldn’t be so indignant on his behalf.

After finishing their drinks and taking a photo with the waiter, Zhou Yun and Yuk Chu returned to the hotel.

Her mind was preoccupied with what Yuk Chu had said to her, and she thought that she couldn’t remain indifferent.

She remembered the time filming "Eighth Heartbeat," when she met with Yin Zhou almost every day.

Initially, Gu Huaichun’s dog-like temper caused mutual dislike between them, and it was often Yin Zhou who mediated and eased the tension.

At that time, Zhou Yun found Yin Zhou to be a very gentle person.

Later on, perhaps they were drawn together by their similar quirks; Zhou Yun grew closer with Gu Huaichun but gradually drifted apart from Yin Zhou.

It wasn’t due to any misunderstanding or conflict; nothing like that happened, but after filming ended, they seldom contacted each other and gradually became less familiar.

Unlike with Gu Huaichun, she occasionally still had things to say.

Filming "Falling Leaves" was still the same. Zhou Yun and Yin Zhou always chatted on set, but once filming was over, they rarely interacted.

Zhou Yun didn’t understand why it was like this; she could only say that she and Yin Zhou truly weren’t fated to be friends.

But this didn’t mean Yin Zhou’s affairs left Zhou Yun indifferent.

Zhou Yun still cared about Yin Zhou.

She checked the time, deducing that Yin Zhou probably hadn’t gone to sleep yet.

So, Zhou Yun called Yin Zhou.

Yin Zhou answered the phone quickly.

"Xiao Yun, you’re calling so late? Is there something urgent?"

From the tone of the call, one could hardly tell Yin Zhou’s family had such major issues.

Zhou Yun felt uncomfortable inside.

Exactly as Yuk Chu said, even though these things happened, Yin Zhou never intended to let anyone else notice his difficulties.

"Yin Zhou, although we haven’t known each other long, to me, you’re a very treasured friend in this industry. If you encounter any difficulties, I’m always ready to offer help," she said.

Yin Zhou hesitated.

"Why are you suddenly saying this to me?" Yin Zhou asked with a surprised laugh.

"Is there no place where you need my help now?" Zhou Yun hesitated for a moment, noticing the curtains weren’t drawn, recalling incidents when she’d stayed in hotels before, so she got up to draw the curtains and double-checked that all doors and windows were locked tight—they couldn’t be opened from the outside, even with a room card.

Yin Zhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did Yuk Chu say something to you?"

"You should proactively tell us," Zhou Yun suggested, "You haven’t told Gu Huaichun either, have you?"

If Yin Zhou had told Gu Huaichun, he wouldn’t have kept it completely secret from her.

Indeed, Yin Zhou hadn’t told Gu Huaichun.

"It’s just a private family matter; it’s not worth letting you all worry along with me."

"Yin Zhou, I believe Gu Huaichun cares about you as much as I do, maybe even more," Zhou Yun said, "If you’re afraid of worrying the people around you, then you shouldn’t go out and socialize, nor should you make friends. It’s only natural for friends to help each other. Do you want us to never know about this matter, until you’ve really stopped being an actor, left, and then we regretted not caring a bit more about you?"

Yin Zhou said nothing.

"You’re reluctant to leave this industry, aren’t you?" Zhou Yun said, "Your father’s treatment costs are high, and your current pay isn’t enough to cover these expenses. If it weren’t for this, you wouldn’t consider these thoughts."

"Xiao Yun, I do indeed need money now, not once, not for a short time. I don’t know how much more I’ll need in the future or how long this status will last," Yin Zhou said, "If it were just one surgery that could solve the problem, I’d shamelessly borrow money from you guys. But the issue is it’s not a matter of one or two surgeries, I don’t know how much more it’ll cost afterwards. To treat my dad, my family’s savings are mostly spent, and the key is they’re hiding it from me, not wanting to burden me. I can’t selfishly stick to what I love doing and watch my dad suffer like this, so maybe not acting and going back to properly manage my family’s factory is the most suitable choice for me."
