It wasn't that long. Xia Yitong estimated that she would work three days and rest one day. Lu Yinbing suggested that she should not get up at noon, but she disagreed and said that it was impolite. She set the alarm to get up in an hour, but ended up looking sleepy.
After leaving the room, Lu Yinbing looked at her eyes that were about to close and reminded her in a low voice: "If you leave like this, they will definitely know what we are doing in there."
Xia Yitong woke up with a start, looked around blankly, put her hands on the corners of her eyes, and pulled them up hard to wake herself up, just like the one-second lift and tightening effect in the commercials.
Lu Yinbing turned his head away, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
When Xia Yitong was almost awake, Lu Yinbing turned to her and said, "Now you look more like a happy person, full of energy and vitality."
Xia Yitong was slightly annoyed, puffed up her cheeks, and raised her hand to pinch her face.
Lu Yinbing pretended to be angry: "You are domestic violence, I will tell my mother."
Xia Yitong was annoyed: "I take off my clothes and show my back to your mother?"
Lu Yinbing's face was thicker than the Great Wall, and he immediately smiled happily: "Okay, okay."
Xia Yitong didn't want to pay attention to her, so she shook off her hand and went downstairs. As soon as she reached the stairs, she saw three parents sitting on the sofa looking upstairs. They came back to the organization in shame, "Your parents and my mother are downstairs."
Very much like a frightened deer.
Lu Yinbing couldn't stop laughing. Xia Yitong pinched her waist twice, and Lu Yinbing turned her blatant teasing into a muffled laugh. She explained the truth to Xia Yitong: "We are a legal couple. Although it is not according to Chinese law, it is normal to do these things. Why are you shy?"
In response to her, Xia Yitong attacked with her pink fist.
Lu Yinbing teased her a few more times, and finally hurt her enough to raise her hands in surrender, her smile still lingering: "I was wrong, I was wrong, go downstairs, go downstairs."
Xia Yitong waved her fist and threatened her: "Don't you dare to talk nonsense again?"
Lu Yinbing said: "I won't dare this time."
What she meant was that she would dare to do it again next time, and might even be even more aggressive. Xia Yitong couldn't understand the obvious implication of her words, so she smiled and pushed her away, without saying anything else.
The two of them went downstairs hand in hand. The three parents pretended to be chatting seriously, glancing around, and finally paused for a moment on the two of them.
Lu Yinbing asked Xia Yitong to hide behind her, and she walked in front, using her height to block most of Xia Yitong's body. The two sat on the sofa, and Liu Xinmin laughed twice, wanting to say something but stopping. The dean looked at Liu Xinmin, and Liu Xinmin used her elbow to poke Lu Yunzhang. Lu Yunzhang, who was at the bottom of the food chain, saw that there was no one to poke, cleared his throat, and rubbed his hands with a smile, "You two..."
He pointed his finger at Lu Yinbing and then at Xia Yitong.
This sentence was full of hints, and anyone could understand it. Lu Yinbing pretended not to understand: "Ah?"
Xia Yitong buried her red face in Lu Yinbing's neck. Lu Yunzhang glanced at Lu Yinbing as if he was being naughty again and asked bluntly, "What's wrong with the ring?"
Lu Yinbing took Xia Yitong's hand and said, "Are you talking about this?"
Lu Yunzhang nodded.
Lu Yinbing: "Proposed."
Liu Xinmin and the dean winked and made faces at Lu Yunzhang.
Who asked for it
Was it our daughter Bingbing who asked for it
Ask quickly.
Lu Yinbing was calmly keeping the parents in suspense. She was frank and open, and kept shyness to herself behind closed doors with Xia Yitong. There was nothing to be afraid of in front of the parents, it was not like she was sneaking around. However, judging by the temperature coming from her neck, Xia Yitong was probably about to spontaneously combust.
Lu Yunzhang took a sip of water, swallowed his throat, and asked, "Who asked for it?"
Under three pairs of hopeful gazes, Lu Yinbing said leisurely, "She asked for it."
Liu Xinmin stroked her forehead, looking very disappointed.
Lu Yunzhang stopped talking too.
Only the dean straightened his back with pride.
Estimating that this wave of attacks was almost over, Lu Yinbing smiled and announced the second correct answer: "I begged for it."
Three parents: “!!!”
Who asked for it
Lu Yinbing: “Hahahaha.”
Liu Xinmin was about to explode, but Lu Yinbing skipped all the specific steps and said, "At first she begged, and then I begged. Okay, let's go upstairs, change clothes, go out for a walk, and find a place to eat."
Liu Xinmin reminded: "Keep your knees warm."
Lu Yinbing: “I know.”
Lu Yinbing has a problem with his legs. His knee joints are numb and painful, and the pain gets worse on rainy days. The scientific name is osteoarthritis of the knee, commonly known as old cold legs. It is a disease left over from catching cold while filming in the past. It cannot be cured, and the pain can only be alleviated through frequent exercise. It's okay in the dry north, but when filming in the cold and humid south in winter, Lu Yinbing must be the one wrapped the thickest in the crew.
Lu Yinbing took out a pair of warm pants from the closet and put on another layer. Seeing Xia Yitong in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about last year, no, the year before last when I was filming in H City."
"ah?"
"Your legs hurt so much that you couldn't sleep, so I held your legs in my arms at night and slept. But you kicked me. I was really lucky that I didn't vomit blood." Jiangsu and Zhejiang are almost the wettest places in winter. Lu Yinbing's legs couldn't stand that kind of weather at all. She was sweating all over from the pain. When Xia Yitong couldn't see, she rolled around on the bed holding her legs tightly. Xia Yitong said this and shook her head in fear, with a smile in the corners of her eyes.
"I sleep very well now." Lu Yinbing held the knee pad in his hand and threw it at her unhappily.
"Be honest, be honest. Can you find anyone in this world who sleeps more honestly than you? No." Xia Yitong smiled in agreement and bent down skillfully to tie knee pads on himself.
"Why are you wearing this?" Lu Yinbing asked in surprise.
"Keep warm."
"I know. I was asking why you were keeping warm?"
"Almost the same as yours." Xia Yitong tied it up. The material was good and it kept warm very well. He patted it with his hands, and it made a banging sound.
Lu Yinbing was stunned for a moment, and without taking off his knee pads, he stopped and asked her: "When? Wasn't it fine before?"
"Not particularly well," Xia Yitong said casually, "I just had a few signs before. My left leg would sometimes ache, but it wasn't a big problem. I spent three months in Shaolin Temple in the second half of this year. I guess the training intensity was too high, and the wear and tear on my knee joint increased. I can't stand it this winter."
It hurts. During breaks during filming, I wore a down jacket the whole time, with a hot water bottle hidden inside the jacket to cover my legs.
Lu Yinbing stood there blankly, not saying a word.
She was still touching the kneepad, her admiration was overwhelming, and she asked Lu Yinbing: "What material is this made of? Can you give me a pair? I will use it when I return to the crew."
Lu Yinbing still didn't reply. Xia Yitong looked up at her. Her lover, who never cried easily, had red eyes. She sighed, walked to Lu Yinbing, and stretched out her fingers to catch the tear falling from her left eye.
"It's not a serious illness, why are you crying?"
"No." Lu Yinbing turned his back and didn't look at her. She knew many things better than Xia Yitong. For example, in their line of work, if you want to act well, you have to do it yourself, such as acting in a summer scene with bare legs in the cold winter, jumping into an ice lake in a single layer of clothes in minus ten degrees Celsius, and pretending to be very comfortable. In order to shoot some demanding scenes, it is normal to learn a skill that has never been touched before. It is normal to have some diseases. Some action actors are even full of diseases, broken bones and reconnected, and bedridden for many times, which is unknown to outsiders.
The world is actually very fair. To get something, you must first pay for it. To get something that ordinary people cannot get, you must pay several times more than ordinary people.
She has been in good health since she was a child, and her physique is much better than that of ordinary people. She almost never gets sick, and even rarely catches a cold. If she hadn't entered the entertainment industry, she wouldn't be as afraid of cold as she is now. The air conditioner temperature is as high as 28 degrees in summer, and she wraps herself up like a dumpling in winter. If she wasn't filming, she would avoid the humid and wet south like a flood. There are countless other minor problems with the lumbar spine and spine.
She has long been able to take these costs lightly. Compared with the achievements she has made, she thinks that this is another form of military honor. Facing the reminder from Lu's mother, she has changed from being stubborn and refusing to wear it because it is too ugly to now accepting it calmly. She honestly treats herself as an old person and protects her knees well. As long as she does not participate in activities, she will never be like the young people who only care about style and not warmth. There is a nickname called her "old cadre" in the outside world, which is not groundless. As long as she is not in the public eye, she has always paid attention to her health. After falling in love, she cherishes it even more. She also has a lover who is a few years younger than her. The capital for growing old together must be saved well.
But when it came to Xia Yitong's turn, she couldn't bear it. Her tears were not controlled by her reason. The more she tried to restrain them, the more they flowed. When she thought of the injuries she had suffered from filming and the possible worse injuries she would suffer in the future, what she knew and what she didn't know, she had never felt that the price was so heavy.
But she couldn't say "Stop filming and stay at home" or "Don't work so hard, there are so many people in the circle who don't take acting seriously and are still living well", because that was her expectation, and it was also Xia Yitong's own expectation.
Lu Yinbing pulled out a tissue, wiped her tears, stood in front of the closet and searched for all the knee pads, leaving only two and putting the rest in the empty suitcase. Xia Yitong watched her quietly beside her.
Lu Yinbing said, "Take everything with you when you leave. If you don't take enough, I'll punish you."
Her red eyes didn't look very dignified, but Xia Yitong still responded seriously: "Okay."
Xia Yitong was wearing a knee pad, with the other foot free, and asked her, "Are you still going out?"
As expected, Lu Yinbing scolded her: "Why are you going out? The two elderly people are recuperating at home."
Xia Yitong smiled: "You can't say that. Even if we are old, we still have to go out and travel around the world. I want to go out. It's too boring at home. Is that okay?"
Lu Yinbing moved his lips twice, didn't answer her, and threw another one over.
Xia Yitong tied herself up and put on her pants. She looked a little bloated, but she jumped twice in her place happily and said, "Same disease, same knee brace."
Lu Yinbing glared at her at first, but Xia Yitong ignored her and smiled at her so happily that Lu Yinbing couldn't help but laughed with tears in her eyes.
