This time, after calling her "senior sister", she changed back to her original name - Teacher Lu. Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu, Teacher Lu, every sentence starts with this. Lu Yinbing has no obsession with the name, just call her "God Egg" or "Big Fool", as long as the person calling her is right, it doesn't matter what she calls. She is not picky at all, but Xia Yitong doesn't have the courage to do that.
Teacher Lu kept calling her like this, and after listening to her for a long time, Lu Yinbing also figured out some new fun. She followed suit and called her "Teacher Xia". Although Teacher Xia Yitong was used to this title, she blushed and shivered when she heard Lu Yinbing calling her, and always thought of some strange scenes. Especially when Lu Yinbing bit her ear and called her when no one was around, "Xia..." and changed to a breathy voice, "Teacher..." and the word "teacher" had to be dragged out. In Qin Hanlin's words, she was just too mean.
But she is so bad that it makes people's hearts flutter, and she is so bad that she can only tickle people's hearts. Qin Hanlin, who has seen through their official relationship, sighed when chatting with Xia Yitong privately: "She is like a demon. If Yinbing were a man, he would definitely be a playboy and have so many romantic debts. Hey, she is just like me when I was young."
Xia Yitong smiled and said, "Maybe not. She is very particular about people."
Xia Yitong thought, even if Lu Yinbing was a man, he was the kind of man who looked romantic but had principles and never flirted with other women. More importantly...
Qin Hanlin complained, "She's divided because she's slow, okay? Let's not talk about you. In the past, there were so many people who wanted to pursue her during filming. Not to mention the fake ones, there were quite a few who were sincere, both men and women, but she didn't fancy any of them. No, she didn't notice any of them. The NPC's movie emperor invited her to dinner, and she went. We talked about acting experience for two hours. The younger one, who seemed to want to curry favor with her, opened his mouth and said he was busy reading the script and didn't want to go."
Xia Yitong listened attentively. She liked to hear this, but since Lu Yinbing didn't bring it up, she was too embarrassed to ask.
Qin Hanlin: "She lives like a living Buddha. I have known her for so long, and I have never seen her care about anything other than acting. But I am talking about the set, the circle, I don't know about her privately, maybe she gets along well with her family."
Xia Yitong was a little proud. She knew Lu Yinbing's private life. She knew how kind, attentive, and considerate she was. She also knew that a cousin named Liang had liked her for many years, but Lu Yinbing was slow to notice and burst into tears.
Qin Hanlin raised his hand and greeted the props, then turned his eyes away: "Anyway, I think it's a miracle that she can be with you, let alone be together, or even have a relationship with you."
"Really?" Xia Yiting touched his nose.
Qin Hanlin squinted at her and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Look how you're holding it back. Young people, you should show off when you need to. You don't know that when I was young and I was with my husband, I wished the whole world knew about it."
"Really?" Xia Yitong just responded with a smile on her face. She was still wondering how she was so lucky to catch Lu Yinbing's eye. Was it really destined by heaven
She looked up at the desert sky, where a flock of sheep was shaking at the corner of the field connected to the ground. She said devoutly in her heart: Thank you, God.
When she came to her senses, Qin Hanlin had already talked about his love story with Mr. Zhan. The two of them were indeed a good story in the entertainment industry. There were all kinds of rumors and gossips, but first-hand information from the real person was rare. Xia Yitong was dumbfounded after hearing this, and found that her little fight was nothing at all. Mr. Zhan came out of the closet at the Cannes Film Festival with the little golden man in his hand. The whole world knew about it, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
Xia Yitong was immersed in the story of Qin Hanlin and Mr. Zhan's ten-year ups and downs. The reality was more exciting than the novel. At night, she went home and shared this story with Lu Yinbing. Qin Hanlin was a show-off. Most people who were familiar with him had heard about it. However, Lu Yinbing still listened to Xia Yitong's story patiently, even though she tried her best to restrain herself but still couldn't stop dancing.
"What do you think?" Xia Yitong asked excitedly, "Are you shocked?"
Lu Yinbing hummed and didn't answer.
Xia Yitong sat over, and Lu Yinbing took her hand and scratched her palm. This was the second time today. Xia Yitong guessed that this was probably Lu Yinbing's favorite action.
Lu Yinbing said: "Are you envious?"
Xia Yitong quickly shook her head: "I'm not envious, I'm not envious."
"Why?"
"It was too hard." Xia Yitong spoke the truth. Qin Hanlin now downplayed the events of 30 years ago, but no one could understand the thrill and sadness in between. From being together, to coming out, to breaking up, it took a full ten years. Both of them were at the peak of their careers, and that was when the situation of sexual minorities was even more severe. She could guess what they went through without Qin Hanlin saying it.
Xia Yitong didn't want such a bitter love either. It wasn't that she couldn't bear it, but she was afraid that she wasn't as strong as she thought. If Lu Yinbing broke up with Qin Hanlin like President Zhan did, then she...
Against the whole world, she is covered in armor; against Lu Yinbing, she is vulnerable.
"Will you..." Xia Yitong's heart suddenly twitched, and the sudden possibility of the hypothesis suppressed her to the point that she could hardly breathe, "Will you..."
"I can't." Lu Yinbing interrupted her.
"if… "
"No ifs." Lu Yin said coldly.
Xia Yitong shrank back.
Lu Yinbing slowed down his tone and soothed him, "I am very loyal, don't doubt me. If there really comes a day when I say those two words to you, then there must be a reason for it. Don't listen, don't believe it, and don't let me go."
Three consecutive "bie" characters are a triple negation.
In the final analysis, Xia Yitong didn't trust her enough, and didn't trust herself enough. She didn't believe that it would never happen. She would rather assume this possibility and then reject it. But the moment the words came out of her mouth, Lu Yinbing's heart beat faster for no reason.
"Yeah." Xia Yitong buried his face in her chest, listening to her heartbeat, and letting his mood gradually calm down.
"We won't be that hard." Lu Yinbing ignored the strange feeling in his heart, put his arm around her shoulders, and talked about the future with anticipation, "Wait for me to shoot for a few more years, maybe five or three years, I will retreat behind the scenes and focus on being a director. By then, even if you terminate your contract, it will still be the golden period of your career. I will personally manage you, select scripts for you, direct your plays, and bring you to international film festivals. You have such potential, I believe in you."
Her tone was firm as if she had seen a bright future. She used to think that she could achieve something in her artistic career and stand on the podium abroad again. Now she still thinks about it, but her obsession is not as strong. She was in the audience, and Xia Yitong was covered with stars. Thinking about it, it seems that the latter brings more satisfaction.
She couldn't help laughing and sighing: love really is magical. It made her change her life plan so easily, adding another person into it, and she enjoyed it so much.
Xia Yitong smiled and said, "Okay, why don't we go up together?"
Lu Yinbing was also amused: "You think the award committee is run by my family?"
Xia Yitong pondered seriously and said, "You can consider buying it. How much does it cost?"
The two looked at each other, Xia Yitong laughed first, then Lu Yinbing also laughed, and the two of them laughed non-stop, the bed was almost shaken down by their laughter. The proprietress was bribed by Lu Yinbing, and all three floors were booked with a large sum of money. It can be said that she is very wealthy.
Without the paparazzi, the two of them had no scruples. Lu Yinbing always felt that the scene of blood splattering on the spot was too horrifying, so he chose the first method of gradual progress. He used the two months of being alone with Xia Yitong to gradually overcome his nosebleed problem.
Sometimes they finished work late and went straight to bed; if they finished work early, Xia Yitong was in pain and happiness. Lu Yinbing's experiment was long and tiring. On the first night, he couldn't stand it after kissing her neck, but at least he didn't have a nosebleed. Although Xia Yitong was confused, she cooperated with him wholeheartedly. They both tried their best to maintain their reserved personalities.
Finally one day, the two of them progressed to the point where they could hug each other naked, and Lu Yinbing's mind was also unblocked. They just hugged and kissed and touched each other, and did not go to the last step. The two of them still had a certain tacit understanding about this matter. In such a simple hotel with leaks everywhere, and a single bed less than 90 cm that two people could not lie flat on, their first time for each other should not be here.
That night, Xia Yitong found a scar on Lu Yinbing's thigh. It was at a sharp angle, inconspicuous, and very narrow, as if it was caused by a stab wound.
She asked, and Lu Yinbing, who was smiling, suddenly became gloomy. He didn't say anything for a long time and fell asleep holding her. The next night, she said that she hadn't thought about how to explain it last night, and was afraid that Xia Yitong would think too much.
But Xia Yitong couldn't help but think about it.
The rumor online that Lu Yinbing suffered from depression because she was too immersed in a role turned out to be true. The scar on her thigh was cut by herself with a razor blade in order to stay sober. As for why the angle was so tricky, it was because she always remembered that she still had to act, did not want to die, and did not want to leave a conspicuous scar, so she used the last bit of her rationality to move the blade away from her wrist.
"I'm fine now." Lu Yinbing smiled and comforted her, "I'm optimistic and positive now. Besides, I have you. I'm happy when I see you. I don't even have the chance to be depressed."
Xia Yitong smiled and listened. The two chatted about other things and put the matter behind them.
However, that night, Xia Yitong had a nightmare. She dreamed that Lu Yinbing was lying on the ground covered in blood, her body was cold, and she woke up screaming. This continued for several days. Lu Yinbing tried every way to coax her. Even the crew members felt that Lu Yinbing had become much more lively. Xia Yitong's habit of startling in her sleep was completely gone, and her face gradually returned to a smile, just like before.
But a seed of uneasiness was planted in her heart, and she didn't know when it would take root and sprout. Maybe tomorrow, maybe never.
From the end of September to the middle and end of December, Xia Yitong ran two notices and left for a few days, but soon returned to join the main team. At this point, the location shooting was completed, and the crew returned home to the original filming base to wait for the last heavy snow for Xia Yitong to finish shooting.
