This is what a bolt from the blue means.
The filming period is expected to last for six months, and it is already halfway through. If Qin Hanlin hadn't mentioned this, Xia Yitong would not have remembered it, and it is already halfway through. In the past three months, her mood has been fluctuating every day, up and down, just because she thinks about the woman next to her day and night, sweet and bitter. Now that she finally sees a little hope, she thinks Lu Yinbing should like her a little bit, and even if not, she should get used to her company.
They go in and out together, sleep and eat together, but now this behavior pattern will soon be broken.
Xia Yitong only has two scenes with Lu Yinbing in Province X. One is when she and Lu Yinbing meet in the enemy camp, and the other is when Lu Yinbing captures her and puts her under house arrest in the palace.
The final scene, "In the Snow", had to wait until a heavy snowfall in late winter. Qin Hanlin did not like to use fake foam, which would affect the texture of his film.
With three scenes and the time she had to adjust on the set, she could spend at most half a month with Lu Yinbing.
Until returning to the hotel, Xia Yitong was forcing herself to be energetic, and Lu Yinbing was not much better than her, except that she was better at concealing it. She felt that being sad and lonely because she couldn't "live together" was something that didn't suit her style.
So when Xia Yitong stole glances at her several times, trying to find some clues on her face, Lu Yinbing changed the subject and said, "You take a shower first, and then I take a shower first?"
"I'll go first." Xia Yitong said, taking her nightgown and going in.
She began to have second thoughts.
Lu Yinbing found the bag in the corner of the room, which contained the suspender nightgown Xiaoxi gave her. After taking it out and looking at it, Lu Yinbing said: "…"
This suspender nightgown does indeed satisfy the difficult-to-achieve balancing effect of keeping warm. It would be even better if the color of the shoulder strap was a little lighter and the furry layer on top was removed. It looks like a leopard print product that's a best-seller on Taobao. How can she wear this thing
There must be a way to wear it, it depends on whether she has the nerve to do so.
On the one hand, he wanted to be able to touch Xia Yitong's skin, and on the other hand, he wanted to save her face. He knew which one was more important. We were going our separate ways tomorrow, and it would be too late if we didn't leave some precious memories behind.
After putting her nightgown back on, Xia Yiting took a shower and walked into the bathroom mysteriously carrying the packaging bag.
Xia Yitong asked for help from Laiying - Sister, we are going to fly to other places to film tomorrow? Should I confess my feelings
One point difference, Lu Yinbing sent a message to Lai Ying - I'm flying out of town tomorrow, and today is my last night, should I take a gamble
Lai Ying was always prepared for gossip, but her husband happened to be free that night, and the two of them chatted sweetly on the phone in the hotel for a long time, leaving her two friends in Java.
Lu Yinbing squeezed a pump of shower gel and thought about her seduction plan last night. What if it didn't work? How far would she have to go to make Xia Yitong believe her? Would she just send her to the hospital? More likely, she would watch her stay up all night to take care of herself.
Forget it, don’t make so much trouble. It’s nice to spend this night quietly. We will see each other again in about a month.
Lu Yinbing rinsed off the foam of the shower gel while thinking, and put on a suspender nightgown shamefully. The nightgown was a little short, only covering her thighs. When she bent over, the posture looked a bit awkward from behind.
Xia Yitong was anxiously waiting for Laiying's response when she heard the sound of a door being pushed open. She raised her eyes and stood there in a daze.
Lu Yinbing was dressed coolly—really cool this time, in a light blue suspender pajamas that only reached her thighs. Although the style of the pajamas was a little weird, it did not diminish Lu Yinbing's beauty in the slightest. Her slightly long black hair was softly draped over her shoulders. The water drops slid down her slender neck and stopped at her sexy clavicle. When she leaned forward, her two almost parallel clavicles became more prominent, and the water drops slid down her clavicle into her chest. Her legs were straight and slender, with a slight curve in her calves, straight and beautiful.
It was the first time that Xia Yitong saw Lu Yinbing dressed like this. On the set, because she was playing a cross-dressing role, she usually didn't expose too much, at most a little bit of her back, but that was enough to make Xia Yitong blush, her heart beat fast, and her eyes dizzy.
Now…
She seemed to have lost the ability to think and just stared blankly.
Lu Yinbing was very satisfied with her reaction. After appreciating her enough, he raised his hand and gave her a slap as usual. Xia Yitong subconsciously covered her head and blew on herself, only to find that it didn't hurt at all. She blinked, confused.
Lu Yinbing: "It's the last day of living together. I need to be gentle with you. Are you not used to it?"
Xia Yitong: "No, no."
Lu Yinbing took off her shoes and refused to go over there. Instead, she insisted on going around Xia Yitong. She stood on the bed, with her long legs crossing Xia Yitong's body, revealing the scenery below her.
Xia Yitong's heart was beating like a drum. He turned his eyes away from his phone and swallowed calmly.
Lu Yinbing stayed in the air for a full three seconds - that's how she felt - any normal person who had feelings for her would have reacted no matter what, but Xia Yitong didn't. She didn't even look at her. Did Xia Yitong not like her or was she also sexually frigid? Wait, why did she say the word "also"
Lu Yinbing wanted to show her the resources, but this would destroy her image of Tianshan Snow Lotus in Xia Yitong's mind. Should she leave it to her secretly? Without letting her know? But if she did so, what if she misunderstood that someone else was confessing to her
The idol burden of the film queen Lu can be said to be very heavy.
The alarm clock on the bedside table showed that it was 9:30 p.m. It was a bit early to go to bed, and it would be a bit dry if she didn't talk. Xia Yitong picked up the water cup and took a few sips of water. Her mouth felt cool and the heat subsided a little. She said in her chaotic heartbeat, "Teacher Lu, I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Lu Yinbing asked.
"My company's contract expires in July. My agent called me last night and asked me if I wanted to renew it. I can't make up my mind, so I'd like you to give me some advice."
Once they talked about business, the atmosphere between the two became extremely harmonious. Lu Yinbing sat cross-legged, and Xia Yitong also sat cross-legged opposite her, trying to keep her eyes fixed on Lu Yinbing's face.
Collarbone? Chest? It doesn't exist. You can't see it.
Lu Yinbing was similar to her. She was afraid that her wolf nature would break out and scare Mimosa.
Lu Yinbing: "Tell me the pros and cons you think of first."
Xia Yitong thought about it and said, "Let's talk about the disadvantages first. The company is too small, and there are only so many good resources. They can only be tilted towards one person, and now it's me. No one else has any particularly good opportunities to stand out."
Lu Yinbing smiled and joked, "You don't think the company gives you too many resources, do you? Saint Mary."
Xia Yitong nodded, very quietly: "Not entirely, but this is part of the reason. The company has so many artists, and they only put the chips on me, which makes me feel like if I want to wear the crown, I must bear its weight. Once I flop, and a newer person emerges at the same time, I may not be able to maintain the current situation. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up."
"Go on."
"Then, you know the biggest difficulty in signing our agency contract. Sorry, I forgot. Teacher Lu started out by opening a studio, so he might not understand. It's just... ah!"
Xia Yitong felt a pain on her forehead. Lu Yinbing said, "Who said I don't understand? I understand. Isn't it just that you don't have autonomy? Your company's agent is quite smart. He didn't give you any bad movies after you became famous. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get back on your feet even if you had a good movie now."
"Sister Su Han is very good to me."
Lu Yinbing raised his hand to hit him, but Xia Yitong quickly added, "Of course, Teacher Lu is the best to me. You are first, and the others are tied for tenth."
Lu Yinbing raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Continue."
Xia Yitong: "But you know, sometimes the company's will is not subject to her. After all, she is just the head of the Economic Department, not the boss of the company. The higher-ups asked me to take the roles with higher pay, so she can only try her best to mediate and pick out the best ones for my development."
Lu Yinbing raised an eyebrow: "Isn't your company's boss Qin Mu on good terms with you?"
Xia Yitong blurted out: "How do you know?"
I went to check it out just for you! Lu Yinbing's heart was in turmoil, but she shrugged calmly on the surface: "I heard that they are so close that they can call each other sisters, huh?"
There was a sour taste in his words.
Xia Yitong laughed. Not wanting Lu Yinbing to misunderstand, she quickly explained, "It's just pure sisterly love. I'm ranked tenth along with the others."
I'm sorry, Sister Mu.
Lu Yinbing stretched lazily, but she couldn't hide a little pride between her brows, and asked: "Since the boss and you are sisters, then don't you have a lot of autonomy in choosing the script? You were a little palace maid when you first chose this script, and no one made things difficult for you. I heard that your boss took it all on her shoulders? She really likes you." As she was feeling proud, she became jealous again.
Just as Xia Yitong was about to speak, Lu Yinbing spoke up first, "Is it because President Qin doesn't manage things in the company, and the actual work is still controlled by the top management? She can protect you once, but not twice or three times, and you don't want her to be blamed by your father because of you."
"How do you know?" Xia Yitong was shocked.
Lu Yinbing shrugged again and said lightly: "I heard it from someone."
Xia Yitong quietly stuck out her tongue: "..."
Wow, this guy is really a big mouth.
