Xia Yitong—I am ashamed too. Why did you show this to your parents on New Year’s Eve? What if they find out about our relationship
Lu Yinbing - So what do you think now? [Thinking]
Xia Yitong was suddenly stunned.
Lu Yinbing—Yes, it’s just what you think.
Lu Yinbing—I came out successfully, and my parents asked when you are free to have dinner with me
Xia Yitong—Wait a minute, I need to calm down [Thinking]
Fang Wei saw Xia Yitong put down his phone, hugged his knees and smiled foolishly, then looked a little worried. He picked up the phone again, chatted with the person on the other end for something, and got up to make a call.
Fang Hui knew at a glance that she was calling Lu Yinbing. Ever since Teacher Xia started dating Lu Yinbing, she could tell who she was talking to from her expression. The first category was Lu Yinbing; the second category was people other than Lu Yinbing.
Fang Hui also has family, and she felt guilty about not being able to go home for the New Year. She found a place by herself and called her parents. It turned out that the place was in the countryside and it was very lively. Uncles, aunts, and other relatives were all gathered together, chatting with each of them to kill time.
Lian Xiaoxi also sent her a message - Xianer, Happy New Year's Eve. [heart]
It was a very simple sentence, but it seemed more intimate because of the prefix, and Fang Hui suddenly had the illusion that she and Xiaoxi were very familiar with each other. In her opinion, the two of them should be considered to be moderately familiar with each other, as they had only been together for a few months because of the collaboration between their own artists.
But Xiaoxi was a chatterbox, so Fang Hui just politely replied to her with "You are happy too", and she started talking again. Fang Hui had nothing to do, so she just kept chatting with her.
The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and for a moment, the atmosphere in this small space was filled with an indescribable tranquility and warmth.
On the other side, Xia Yitong also lowered her voice: "You came out? Why didn't you tell me anything? Your parents didn't make things difficult for you, did they? Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. We still have a lot of time."
Lu Yinbing listened to her barrage of questions and said with a smile, "Which one should I answer first? Why are you nagging like an old woman?"
"Answer them one by one."
Lu Yinbing leaned against the wall and said gently and indulgently, "Okay, one by one. I didn't expect it to be so fast. But maybe I didn't hide it at home, so they knew I was in love right away. They didn't make it difficult for me, not at all, and even asked to watch the TV series you starred in. I'm showing it to them now. Report to the commander, report completed."
Xia Yitong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Lu Yinbing smiled and asked, "Then when are you free to come over for dinner?"
Xia Yitong thought about it and said with embarrassment, "I've been very busy recently. I'll start working on a variety show in early March, and Sister Su Han has given me a TV series that will start filming on April 1st and will take three months. The promotion for the new drama will last until mid-February. I'll see if I'm free at the end of February."
"Forget it, you'd better not come," Lu Yinbing said in a bad tone, "I'm afraid you'll be drained."
"ah?"
Lu Yinbing gritted his teeth and thought to himself that there was still half a year left, so he should just bear with it. "Nothing, I just told you to get some rest."
"I take good care of my rest."
"Oh, so where are you going when your plane lands tomorrow?"
"Go to the event platform." Xia Yitong immediately lowered his voice guiltily.
“Is this what you call a good rest?”
"I'll rest well on the plane!"
"Are you still confident?"
"I dare not."
Lu Yinbing stopped talking. Xia Yitong waited for a long time without her response. Her heart sank a little. She asked cautiously, "Teacher Lu, are you angry?"
"No." Lu Yinbing said in a muffled voice.
"and you… "
"I want to hug you."
Instead of being moved by Lu Yinbing's sudden love words, Xia Yitong felt sad. She looked out the window at the airport runway, which was flickering like every other night. If it weren't for the time on her phone, she wouldn't have known that there were only two hours left before entering a new year. Even in the VIP lounge, there were only her and Fang Hui, each with their own screen lit up alone.
She held down the phone's receiver and turned her head away so Lu Yinbing wouldn't hear her sigh. After she calmed down, she said softly, "We'll meet the day after tomorrow."
Lu Yinbing said “hmm”.
The door behind him was pushed open, and a head popped out. Lu Yinbing turned around and shouted, "Mom."
"Call?" Liu Xinmin said.
Lu Yinbing pointed to her phone and whispered, "Her flight was delayed. She's at the airport. Let me talk to her for a while."
"Well, it's pitiful to still be at the airport during the New Year."
"To work."
"I know, I know." Liu Xinmin went in.
Lu Yunzhang turned his eyes away from the screen and saw Liu Xinmin coming back after going out. He sighed heavily and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Liu Xinmin sighed again and said, "Our daughter is outside making a phone call, her eyes are red."
"Why?"
"You must feel bad. That girl is spending New Year's Eve at the airport tonight."
Lu Yunzhang sighed for a while, and then said worriedly: "Two people in the same circle are in love, and they are of such status... Well, if you say she is having a hard time, it won't be easy for both of us."
Liu Xinmin sighed for the third time.
Lu Yinbing couldn't hear her parents sighing inside. When she returned, her parents were staring at the screen and had almost finished the snacks they had prepared.
At 10:50, the biological clock punctually stirred up the sleepiness in the bodies of the two no longer young parents. They began to yawn and shed tears frequently. Lu Yinbing said, "Mom and Dad, you go to bed. I'll stay up all night."
Mr. and Mrs. Lu nodded, and went back to their room to sleep.
Lu Yinbing sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. The TV was all about the Spring Festival Gala with the volume turned very low. The wall clock was moving every second. There seemed to be faint sounds of firecrackers coming from far away, and gorgeous fireworks were rising in the sky outside the window.
All the hosts and celebrities on TV stood on the stage, looking at the countdown, and began to shout together: "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Outside the screen, Lu Yinbing stared at his phone nervously, his finger on the dial button of Xia Yitong's phone, and silently recited along with the TV: "Three, two..."
At one o'clock, her cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed: Xia Yitong.
When she picked up the phone, there was a radio broadcast as background noise, but Xia Yitong's clean and soft voice still came through clearly: "Happy birthday, girlfriend."
"!!!" Fang Wei looked up at Xia Yitong in astonishment. Wasn't Lu Yinbing's birthday in July? Isn't this too early? !
"Happy birthday." Lu Yinbing also said emotionally.
After saying that, he realized something seemed wrong. Whose birthday is today? So they all burst into laughter at the same time. Xia Yitong almost fell off the sofa with laughter, covering her face and said, "Hey, hey, I'm sorry, Teacher Lu, I was too nervous and said the wrong thing."
Lu Yinbing was afraid that her laughter would wake up her parents in the room, so she held it back with difficulty and walked to the window sill, smiling: "It doesn't matter, I was wrong anyway."
Xia Yitong: "I repeat, New Year's Eve, no, Happy New Year."
Lu Yinbing sorted out his thoughts first, then replied seriously: "Well, Happy New Year."
There was a small misunderstanding on the first day of the new year, but it brought more fun.
Fang Hui looked at the message "Xian'er" from Xiaoxi that came on WeChat at zero o'clock, "Happy New Year [heart]", and felt a little strange in her heart. She replied - You are allowed to call me Xian'er when you see me in the future, and I won't hit you.
When Xiaoxi saw the incoming message, she jumped up from the sofa with a "Yeah". Just as she was about to go back to her room to sleep after the New Year's Eve party, her mother slapped her on the calf and said, "I saw you playing with your phone after dinner. You've been playing all night. What are you talking about? Go to sleep."
Xiaoxi rubbed her calf and said with a giggle, "I'm not playing games. My friend can't go home for the New Year and is at the airport. I'm chatting with her to relieve her boredom."
"Okay," Xiaoxi's mother was very reasonable, "Then you should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow to go out for New Year's greetings. If you can't get up, I can just drag you out."
"Okay mom, I'll go to bed right away."
Xiaoxi swam back to the room along the wall. With one hand she pulled the pillow and tidied the bedding. With the other hand she pressed the voice button and kept saying, "Xian'er, Xian'er, Xian'er, Xian'er, Xian'er, Xian'er, Xian'er, Xian'er..."
Fang Hui - Hitting someone more than three times at a time.
Xiaoxi-You don't love me anymore qaq
Fang Hui—If you have never loved me, the child is not yours, Lan Xiang.
Xiaoxi—you you you!
Fang Hui—Stop talking nonsense and go to bed.
Xiaoxi - 嘤嘤嘤qaq
Fang Hui—He hit someone.
Xiaoxi—I'm going to sleep now.
Before going to sleep, she sent another voice message. Because her face was pressed against the pillow, her voice was a little soft and nasal: "Xian'er Xian'er Xian'er, if it's not more than three times, don't hit me. Good night."
Fang Hui's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She looked over and saw Xia Yitong was on the phone again. She pressed the bottom of the screen, put the receiver to her lips, and whispered, "Good night."
I got goosebumps from talking to myself, and I didn't even have the courage to listen to my own voice again. It seemed too gentle. Xiaoxi wouldn't think I had any feelings for her. After all, they are both a couple as artists. What if Xiaoxi became a lesbian because of what she saw and heard
The phone screen lit up, Xiaoxi—[Voice]
For three full minutes, Fang Hui didn't touch her phone. When the screen was about to go dark, she turned it on again. She didn't know what she was so nervous about. Could Xiaoxi pop out from the screen and eat her up
It was just a voice message. Fang Wei seemed calm, but her fingers were a little unsteady as she tapped the phone close to her ear, and she almost dropped the phone on the ground.
Xiaoxi's energetic voice was so penetrating that Fang Hui's heart trembled with her words.
Xiaoxi: "mua! Love you, Xian'er!"
This, this, this... just say mua, why add "love you" for no reason? Tsk, she said it as if she would take it seriously. People like them who casually say "love you" as a catchphrase don't worry at all that others will think too much about it. Fortunately, they don't think too much.
Fang Wei didn't reply. She turned off her phone and stared at the snacks on the plate in front of her.
As for the mung bean ones, Xiaoxi seemed to have eaten a lot last time. She didn’t like Guihua’s. Why did she follow her to eat even though she was full? She ate when she was asked to. Is she stupid? How come she didn’t die of overeating after growing up
Fang Wei held her chin and laughed as she stared at the snacks.
Xia Yitong coaxed Lu Yinbing to sleep, and sat face to face with Fang Hui. They looked at each other and saw the same emotions in each other's eyes, shyness and satisfaction after just chatting with their loved ones. After looking at each other, their eyes began to wander around and not at each other.
Wait, Xia Yitong suddenly stared at Fang Wei. She knew that Fang Wei was always full of lust after they started dating, but why was Fang Wei smiling foolishly now? When and where did something happen that she didn't know about? !
