The two people put on their clothes, stood in front of the mirror, and looked at each other.
The pants are a little thick, but the base is good. I put the coat on, turned around in front of the mirror, and took a quick look. I still have a slim waist and long legs, which does not affect my beauty at all.
The two praised each other, and then, holding scarves and masks in their hands, they said goodbye to their parents and went out.
They didn't know whether the paparazzi would come on the first day of the new year. Anyway, there were no paparazzi outside Lu Yinbing's neighborhood. First, there were many officials and businessmen living here, and the security measures were not just strict. Second, the paparazzi didn't know about this place. From last night to noon, I hadn't eaten for more than ten hours, and I had done a lot of energy-consuming exercise in the middle. My stomach was growling as if there was a rock band inside.
There was music playing in the car. Lu Yinbing held onto the steering wheel and laughed for a long time: "The sound of the music is almost drowned out by the growling of our stomachs."
Xia Yitong didn't laugh, but said seriously: "If you keep laughing, the car will explode."
Lu Yinbing came over, hugged Xia Yitong's neck, smacked a mouthful of saliva on her face, turned around and sat up straight: "Let's go." He stepped on the clutch, shifted into reverse gear, and backed out of the garage in one go. Holding the steering wheel, he drove the car out of the garage steadily.
Xia Yitong stared at her profile, thinking that she looked good in everything she did, and before she knew it, she was fascinated by her.
"Where are you going?" Lu Yinbing asked as his car was about to drive out of the community.
"Ah?" Xia Yitong was stunned for a moment.
"I asked, where do you want to eat?"
"Anywhere is fine."
"As long as you're with me?" Lu Yinbing quickly turned his head to look at her and smiled.
Xia Yitong never hides her feelings on this issue: "Well, as long as I'm with you."
Lu Yinbing loosened one of his hands on the steering wheel and came over to touch the back of Xia Yitong's hand. It was not enough to just touch it, so he brought it to his lips and kissed it gently. It was like the wind blowing gently, bringing a tingling sensation.
She likes it very much.
When they reached the door, Lu Yinbing let go of her hand.
She curled her lips, a little disappointed.
Lu Yinbing rolled down the window, scanned the car and his face for access control, and drove out of the community on the obviously empty streets. Lu Yinbing tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and said, "It's true that there is no traffic jam only during the Chinese New Year."
"People from other places have gone home to celebrate the New Year."
“No, some outsiders didn’t go back.”
"Are you talking about people who work in the capital?"
"No," Lu Yinbing raised her hand, deliberately showing the ring on her ring finger, and said, "The foreigners who married into the local area didn't go back."
Xia Yitong didn't answer and turned to look out the window.
The bare trees on the street are really beautiful.
There were not many restaurants open on New Year's Day, and most of them had to be booked in advance. The two of them walked around the city for a long time before they successfully found a private room to sit in. Xia Yitong opened her wallet, checked the ring inside again, and put it back in her bag. She took off the ring before getting off the car. She had proposed marriage, but she could only wear the ring at home. She just knew it.
"It won't be lost. If it is lost, I will buy you another one." Lu Yinbing picked up the unique teapot and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Lu Yinbing was used to joking around, so Xia Yitong ignored her. But it would have been fine if she didn't mention it. Once she did, Xia Yitong wanted to check her wallet to see if she had really put it in there, and if it had fallen out when she moved it with her fingers.
Lu Yinbing scanned the QR code on the corner of the table with her phone, and the ordering interface popped up, "Come on, take a look at what you want to eat?"
Xia Yitong was looking at the ring in her wallet without blinking: "Just look at it first."
Lu Yinbing looked at the dishes and ordered a few, all of which were refreshing. "Would you like some meat?" After ordering the dishes, she thought that she was really living the healthy life of an elderly person in advance.
Xia Yitong didn't even raise her head, and her smile to the ring was even gentler than her smile to Lu Yinbing: "It's all right."
Lu Yinbing frowned: "How about stewing the ring? Braised ring? Stewed ring?"
Xia Yitong blinked, put down her wallet, moved a chair next to her shoulder and looked at the phone in her hand, pretending nothing had happened: "Let's order beef, mutton, and fish. Let me see if there is anything else."
Lu Yinbing looked at her.
Xia Yitong: "What's wrong?"
Lu Yinbing gave a thumbs up and said, "Young man, big fish and big meat."
Xia Yitong laughed.
Lu Yinbing said: "Very good."
Xia Yitong asked: "What's good?"
Lu Yinbing sighed, "There is still hope for our family."
Xia Yitong felt that the phone was inconvenient in her hand, so she took it herself, scrolled down the menu, glanced at it, and said lightly: "If you starve for three months, you will be able to eat all kinds of delicious food."
Two years ago, Lu Yinbing dieted to lose weight for the filming of "Breaking Snow". When she just recovered, she ate as much as a cow every day. Xia Yitong hadn't been with her yet, but she had already taken on the responsibility of serving her tea, pouring water and serving her food, and took her to eat delicious food near the film and television base every day. Lu Yinbing heard that she was making fun of him, and laughed: "Well, you are so bold now."
She pretended to be angry and tried to tickle Xia Yitong with her hands, but Xia Yitong would not let her have her way. She threw the phone back on the table, jumped off the chair quickly, and stepped back three or four steps, looking at Lu Yinbing provocatively: "Come on, come on."
"Oh." Lu Yinbing didn't expect this move and missed. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It seems that Shaolin Temple has really learned a lot."
"Of course not. I have cold legs. It would be a shame if I don't learn more." Xia Yitong patted his legs and joked without any hesitation.
She was so open-minded, and Lu Yinbing's mood also brightened. She also stood up from the chair, rolled up her sleeves, turned her neck, and made a snapping sound: "Let me see what skills you have learned."
The two of them looked like martial arts masters fighting each other, keeping their composures and looking at each other sharply, watching each other's every move. The hot tea on the table cooled down, and the light brown tea leaves sank to the bottom.
Suddenly, Lu Yinbing moved.
The left foot took a big step forward, ready to launch a surprise attack. Xia Yitong stared at her feet, prepared, turned around and ran away. The table in the box was round, with a large diameter. The two of them ran and chased each other, having a lot of fun.
Three years can’t be more.
Xia Yitong ran first, and Lu Yinbing kept a distance from her behind, and she could not catch up with her no matter what. She suddenly had an idea, and chased him with all her might. Xia Yitong was still smiling, but when she saw that Lu Yinbing was about to catch up with her, she instantly exerted her strength.
Lu Yinbing successfully lured the enemy, and after the two formed an inertial chase, he suddenly changed direction, turned around and ran towards Xia Yitong face to face. Xia Yitong braked suddenly and finally did not escape again, and was hugged by Lu Yinbing.
Lu Yinbing panted: "Just run, keep running."
"I'm not running anymore. I'll be exhausted if I keep running." Xia Yitong was not much better than her. Her entire weight was leaning on Lu Yinbing.
"Are you childish?" Lu Yinbing said as he pecked the lips of the man whose eyebrows and eyes were curved with laughter, and said unhappily, "Will a piece of flesh fall off if I tickle you?"
"Not childish, no." Xia Yitong smiled happily and returned the kiss, "But I just don't want to, haha."
The two hugged each other, heads touching, and kissed each other. The air in the box was a little bit nosy and made them feel itchy. As they kissed, things changed. They lifted up her clothes and started to touch her waist, but didn't go any further.
After the kiss, she calmed down, tidied her clothes, wiped off the lip marks on the other person's face with a wet wipe, and rang the bell on the table in a polite manner, asking the waiter to come in and take your order.
The two of them ordered a large table of dishes and ate from two to four o'clock. They were very hungry, but they also played and chatted with each other and ate almost everything.
Xia Yitong took photos of the messy dining table.
Lu Yinbing sat beside him, rubbing his stomach to digest the food. He was as tired as a dog exposed to the sun after eating. He took a sip of tea and asked lazily, "What are you doing?"
Xia Yitong said: "Keep it as a souvenir."
"What's so memorable about this?"
"You are allowed to use a DV to film all my miscellaneous things, but you are not allowed to film a dinner table? Look here." Xia Yitong pointed her phone at Lu Yinbing. Lu Yinbing, who had squinted his eyes, immediately opened them and made a scissors gesture. Xia Yitong pressed the record button and saved it.
"Then you might as well take a picture of the ring." Lu Yinbing put down his scissor hands and returned to his lazy look, wishing he could sleep on the chair.
Xia Yitong took out the ring from her wallet, placed it on the red velvet tablecloth, and adjusted the filter. It looked pretty good. Lu Yinbing was stunned for a moment, then looked at his phone. He probably wouldn't be able to get off the phone for half an hour.
She was happy and relaxed, and cooperated very well when Xia Yitong asked her to wear the ring for the photo.
At 4:30, the two checked out and came out. Instead of rushing home, they drove to a small park nearby. There was no one in sight. The two people wearing masks and scarves walked arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, pushing each other, with four hands in their three pockets, and walked crookedly.
They moved slowly, with no announcements, no new plays, and time was far ahead of them. No one spoke, perhaps because they were lazy, or perhaps because they didn't want to break this rare silence.
They staggered to the big tree next to the artificial lake. There were no weeping willows or wintersweets, only the sun had not yet set, and the sunlight was warm. Lu Yinbing stopped, and Xia Yitong, who was holding her arm, also stopped. Lu Yinbing raised her chin and raised her eyebrows slightly. Xia Yitong stood on tiptoe and kissed her hard through the mask. Lu Yinbing's teeth hurt, but the next moment she smiled with her eyes bent, and immediately hit her back with her head.
With a bang, both of them felt dizzy for a while, laughed loudly, and were half-dragged and half-pulled to sit on a bench by the lake.
They didn't even sit properly, their feet had to be hooked together and they had to put them on each other's legs, which ended up being a weird posture, the two of them huddled together in this awkward posture.
Lu Yinbing put her hands in her pockets, playing with her fingers, and suddenly asked, "Do you have tomorrow off?"
"One more day." Xia Yitong rubbed the instep of her foot against Lu Yinbing's calf, with a comfortable smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Lu Yinbing: "As usual, my uncles will come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Xia Yitong's smile froze, and he felt himself sweating immediately: "... How about I hide in the room?"
Lu Yinbing held her shoulders and looked at her calmly: "What do you think?"
Xia Yitong: “…”
