Since she had come out publicly at home, Lu Yinbing informed her parents before she went out at night in the second year of junior high school. When she was going to meet someone, her parents were very open-minded and waved their hands to let her go. At most, they sighed and said, "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up."
The next morning, Lu Yunzhang and Liu Xinmin were having breakfast in the living room when their cell phone rang. The caller ID showed: daughter.
Lu Yunzhang was immediately very relieved. He glanced at Liu Xinmin and said with emotion, "You said that our daughter still has us in her heart. She called us early in the morning to comfort us. Do you want to answer the call or should I?"
Liu Xinmin saw through his little pride and said to him sideways: "Just answer the call if it's for you."
Lu Yunzhang took a sip of milk and answered the phone: "Hello, Bingbing."
"Is it... Uncle?" Xia Yitong was so nervous that she almost trembled when she heard a strong male voice next to her ear.
Lu Yunzhang frowned slowly: "Are you Xia Yitong?"
Liu Xinmin put down the cup and looked over.
"you… "
"Lu Yinbing mentioned you to me. I didn't expect to have the chance to meet you so soon. Nice to meet you."
Xia Yitong then said in a daze, "Nice to meet you."
Until Lu Yunzhang asked: "What's the matter with you? Why is Lu Yinbing's phone in your hand?"
"Oh, that..." Xia Yitong slapped his head, excited for finally remembering the topic, and accidentally bumped his foot against the hard edge of the bed. He took a breath, "Hello, uncle, Lu Yinbing has a fever. I'm in a hurry to go to the airport, so I can't take care of her. I don't dare to trust anyone else, so I took the liberty of calling you."
Lu Yunzhang: “Address.”
Xia Yitong reported the address based on her memory, and Lu Yunzhang said, "Okay, I'll be there right away. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, okay."
"My daughter has a fever, and her girlfriend asked us to take care of her." Lu Yunzhang did not forget to answer the questions of Liu Xinmin who had been staring at him for several minutes. He then drank the milk at hand, went back to the room to get clothes and prepared to go out.
Liu Xinmin swallowed the dough sticks in two or three bites and ran to the room: "I'm going too."
How can she be left out when it comes to meeting my daughter-in-law
Mr. and Mrs. Lu, who had originally planned to pick a day to meet their daughter-in-law, decided to go on the journey to meet her. When the two of them came out, the driver had already driven the car to the door, and the two of them bent down and sat in the back seat.
After notifying the family doctor, Liu Xinmin retrieved Xia Yitong's profile from last night's browsing history and said as she read it, "I don't know what she looks like in real life."
"You'll know when you see it." Lu Yunzhang was very calm.
After a while, he moved and said, "Hey, let me see your phone, too."
…
Xia Yitong hung up the phone and started looking for antipyretic drugs in the drawers. There was none in the room, so she ran to the living room downstairs and finally found a medicine box under the TV cabinet. The medicines inside were still recent. She quickly poured some hot water and ran upstairs.
He wrung out a wet towel and put it on Lu Yinbing's forehead. After the towel was warmed by her body temperature, he soaked it in cold water. When he changed the towel for the second time, Lu's father and mother came.
They didn't have the key, so they could only call to inform them. Xia Yitong changed Lu Yinbing's towel and went out to greet them in person.
Liu Xinmin twisted Lu Yunzhang's hands and saw from a distance a girl dressed in black, wearing a hat, mask and sunglasses walking towards them. The girl was obviously nervous when she saw them and she said it three times before she could call them "uncle" and "aunt" smoothly.
She led the way in front, while Liu Xinmin whispered to Lu Yunzhang from behind: "Does it look like a big bat?"
Lu Yunzhang raised the corner of his mouth and patted the back of her hand without laughing out loud.
After letting the three people into the house, Xia Yitong took off all the disguises on her body, revealing a fresh and fair face, with red ears, and said softly: "It's not convenient outside, I'm sorry."
"Not rude, not rude. He's a celebrity." Lu Yunzhang said with a smile, "Where is Lu Yinbing?"
"Upstairs, please follow me." Xia Yitong made a gesture of invitation and backed up. She tripped when going up the stairs, but fortunately she reacted quickly and grabbed the railing to steady herself. She turned around and smiled, and said calmly, "It's upstairs."
Liu Xinmin pinched her arm, trying hard not to laugh out loud in front of her future daughter-in-law.
Lu Yunzhang and she looked at each other and both smiled.
Xia Yitong stood in front of the door, praying a hundred times that the smell in the room would have dissipated after half an hour of ventilation. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and saw Lu Yinbing, who was sleeping soundly on the bed with a towel on his head.
The family doctor walked over quickly, put on a stethoscope, and conducted a check-up.
Liu Xinmin poked Lu Yunzhang's waist and motioned him to look at Xia Yitong, who was holding his breath, looking nervous, with distress in his eyes. He wanted to go up and help several times, but probably held back because he was afraid of disturbing the doctor.
Lu Yunzhang nodded.
The family doctor put away his tools, and six eyes stared at him, waiting for him to speak. He said: "The fever is caused by catching a cold, just take a nap and sweat it out, it's not a big deal."
Caught a cold
None of the three knew why.
Xia Yitong remembered that she fell asleep completely after that last night and didn’t even have a dream at night. Could it be that after she fell asleep, Lu Yinbing did something again that caused her to catch a cold
Father and Mother Lu could only make inferences based on known conditions. Liu Xinmin sat on the edge of the bed and lifted Lu Yinbing's collar to take a look. There were red marks on her shoulders and chest. Undoubtedly, they must have slept together last night. Why did her daughter catch a cold? Could it be that she was not going to welcome a daughter-in-law, but a son-in-law? Liu Xinmin looked at Xia Yitong with a subtle look, especially when the other party frowned and thought, which seemed to her to be a sign of guilt.
On the first night, no, she knew that Lu Yinbing caught a cold on the first night. It was either because she didn't pay enough attention or because she was careless. Her daughter was careless enough, and if another careless person came along, how could she go on with her life
By the way, if it wasn't the first night, wouldn't the situation be more serious? You know, Lu Yinbing has always been as strong as a bull. He rarely gets sick since he was a child. Even though he got sick while filming later, he was diligent in exercising and basically never had a fever.
When the doctor said this, the three people had different expressions, especially Liu Xinmin, who thought there was something wrong with his diagnosis.
A cell phone rang, interrupting all the undercurrents.
The four people's eyes met briefly in the air. Xia Yitong took out a mobile phone from his coat pocket, covered the microphone with his palm and nodded apologetically: "Sorry." He went to the side to answer the phone.
"Wait for me at xxx for ten minutes."
She put away her phone, walked up to Lu Yinbing's parents, and bowed: "Uncle and aunt, I still have work to do, so I'll leave Lu Yinbing to you."
Liu Xinmin responded with a bad look on her face: "Yeah."
Lu Yunzhang smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead."
Xia Yitong wanted to turn around and kiss Lu Yinbing, but because her parents were there, she had to give up. She went downstairs, turning back every three steps, and temporarily borrowed Lu Yinbing's car to meet up with Fang Wei and go to the airport.
Sitting in the car, I thought about it and sent a message to Lu Yinbing - the doctor said you caught a cold and had a fever, what did you do last night
I'm sorry for calling your parents over without your permission, but I'm worried about you staying alone.
Your mother seemed to have a bad attitude towards me. I might have made her angry. Alas, although I don’t know why, everything was fine when we first met.
Send me a message when you wake up.
If it's convenient for you, please ask your mother for me if she is dissatisfied with anything. I will try to improve it next time.
I arrived at the airport.
Passed security check.
I got on the plane, turned off my phone, and landed in about two and a half hours.
Lu Yinbing leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through the chat history, and replied—I'm awake, and the fever seems to have subsided.
The moment there was a noise from the door, Lu Yinbing quickly put the phone under the pillow. Liu Xinmin walked in with porridge in one hand, blowing the hot air off it. "Are you awake?"
"Mom, why didn't you knock?"
"I didn't know you were awake." Liu Xinmin said, "Drink the porridge to get rid of the cold."
"Thank you, Mom." Lu Yinbing took the porridge. It was a bowl of seafood porridge. The rice grains were plump and crystal clear, dotted with bright red shrimp meat and pearl-like shellfish meat. Dots of chopped green onions were sprinkled on the porridge. The bright colors made people salivate at the sight of it, and the smell was even more fragrant. Lu Yinbing opened his eyes and felt his stomach growling even louder. "Did Dad make this?"
Liu Xinmin, who was the worst cook in the family, rolled her eyes and agreed.
"Thank Dad for me." Lu Yinbing said this, stirred it casually with a spoon twice, didn't even blow it hard, then scooped it up and put it into his mouth in big gulps.
Liu Xinmin: "Go slowly, you won't get burned."
Lu Yinbing said vaguely: "Anyway, you must have blown it to cool it down, so it won't be hot."
"You kid." Liu Xinmin smiled indulgently.
After a bowl of seafood porridge, Lu Yinbing was eight-tenths full. She didn't plan to eat any more, as she would feel uncomfortable if she ate any more. Her mother sat on the edge of the bed, looking like she wanted to tell her something, and Lu Yinbing happened to have something to ask her.
Liu Xinmin: "You speak first."
Lu Yinbing: "Have you seen my girlfriend?"
Liu Xinmin frowned slightly: "I saw it."
"You don't like her." Lu Yinbing is very good at observing other people's expressions and uses affirmative sentences instead of negative sentences.
"I want to tell you about this, too." Liu Xinmin was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked directly, "Did you two sleep together last night?"
"Ahem..." Lu Yinbing almost choked on his own saliva. He took a deep breath and smiled, "So it's because of this. It's a different era now. You don't still care about this, do you?"
"I don't care about this. You can sleep however you want," Liu Xinmin asked, "Why do you have a fever?"
Lu Yinbing remained calm: "I kicked off the quilt at night and caught a cold. Don't you know that I have always had a bad sleeping posture?"
Liu Xinmin said firmly, "You're lying. You don't kick the quilt because you have a bad sleeping posture. You can only grab other people's quilts. Tell the truth now."
Lu Yinbing looked desperate: "You know this too?"
"I'm your mother, how could I not know?" Liu Xinmin raised her chin and said, "Speak."
"Can I not say it?"
"Yes, but my impression of your girlfriend will become worse and worse. You decide for yourself." Liu Xinmin knew her temper well. Intimidation and inducement were useless. She would not be moved by any soft or hard tactics. What did she care about? She knew Lu Yinbing's weak spot.
As expected, Lu Yinbing did not hide a word and told the truth with his neck shrunk.
It turned out that she had just had sex last night and her body was very hot. She couldn't sleep with the quilt on, so she threw the quilt to Xia Yitong and slept with it uncovered all night, which was why she caught a cold.
Liu Xinmin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. She also felt that her daughter was really disappointing. She tapped her forehead with her finger and gently scolded her, "You."
She put away Lu Yinbing's bowl and spoon and went out. Before opening the door, she turned back and said, "I just tricked you. It's been a long time since I covered you with a blanket. I didn't know if you would kick the blanket now. I tricked you and you succeeded. Why don't you follow me and your father at all?"
Lu Yinbing: “…”
What can she do? She is also desperate!
Lu Yinbing also sent Xia Yitong the reason why she caught a cold last night, and as expected, she received a screen full of laughs. It was not until Lu Yinbing stopped her from laughing that Xia Yitong let it go. However, she got a piece of dirty information about Lu Yinbing that was "comparable" to her first "premature ejaculation", and the two agreed not to mention it again, which made Lu Yinbing so angry that she ate an extra bowl of dinner.
Time passed quickly, midwinter was over, and it was March, when the grass was green and the birds were singing. The variety show that Su Han had taken on for Xia Yitong officially started.
Variety shows are a powerful tool for celebrities to attract fans. Nowadays, anyone who is a little famous, except those who are already on the altar and a small number of people, whether new or old, is eager to show their face on variety shows. Especially for popular stars, it is more beneficial than harmful to have a variety show.
Xia Yitong has been a special guest before, but this is the first time she is a permanent guest.
The variety show is called "Mercury Collide with the Earth" and is produced by xx Satellite TV, a major variety show company. It invites popular female stars who are active on the screen. There are a total of ten of them. The oldest is 33 years old and the youngest is only 17 years old. It is a reality show, a program that combines adventure and challenge. According to the program team, there seems to be a wilderness survival project in the later stage. The goddess must be made into a rough man. This is their purpose, otherwise how can it be called "Mercury Collide with the Earth". It must be novel, otherwise how can it stand out among so many variety shows? Just inviting these people, the program team spent an unknown amount of money.
She was not afraid of any challenges, it was all work, nothing more than some hardship. However, among the guests there was a man named Cen Xi who stuttered whenever he saw her, which gave her a headache.
What if she stutters? What if everyone stutters? You know, stuttering is contagious.
Xia Yitong thought about it, a bunch of female stars who were hailed as goddesses started to stutter "you you you" on the show, the picture was too beautiful and she decided not to think about it anymore.
