The elders and children were all on their own. The five of them chatted until dinner time. They talked about everything. Xia Yitong was not familiar with things. She talked less and listened more. Objectively, she created a gentle and quiet external image. When Liu Cheng started to make a fuss, her cousins would tease her about Xia Yitong: "Look, your sister-in-law is the same age as you, but she is much more mature and stable than you. Do you feel bad?"
Xia Yitong didn't know whether Liu Cheng was embarrassed or not, but she was very embarrassed anyway, and she was too embarrassed to say anything. Lu Yinbing was laughing beside her, and Xia Yitong was secretly annoyed. She couldn't help but secretly poked her waist with her finger from behind. She came up to smooth things over "under the pressure of lust", "Stop it, stop it, she's shy."
Like a fake girlfriend.
After dinner, Liu Cheng suggested a national entertainment activity suitable for all ages, playing mahjong, but there was one too many people among the five, so without waiting for them to discuss it, Xia Yitong voluntarily withdrew, saying that she was not very good at it and just wanted to watch Lu Yinbing play.
Lu Yinbing said, "If you don't know how, I'll teach you." Then he forced Xia Yitong to sit on the seat, put one hand on the edge of the mahjong table, and half-huggled her from the back in an intimate posture. The three cousins wailed that they did not want to eat this bowl of dog food, but Lu Yinbing laughed and was about to stuff it into their mouths.
They played cards for three hours with laughter. It was said that newcomers had better luck. Three families lost, but Xia Yitong's family won. She had the thought of burying her face in Lu Yinbing's arms at least dozens of times. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the brothers from Lu's mother's side were finally sent away.
A peer invited Lu Yinbing to go to KTV in the evening, and Lu Yinbing readily agreed, saying that they should go first, and she had to send Xia Yitong to the airport to board the plane. The crew of "Mei Qi" only had a holiday on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and they had to go back to work on the third day. She was on the flight tonight.
The two were packing their luggage in the room. Xia Yitong came with a small suitcase, and left with a large suitcase. Lu Yinbing checked it for the third time, made sure that the knee pads were put on, and helped her carry the suitcase downstairs.
Xia Yitong wanted to carry it himself, but he couldn't persuade her.
Xia Yitong saw her walking towards the garage with the car keys in her hand. After thinking for a while, she said hesitantly, "Why don't I take a taxi to the airport by myself, and you go play with them."
Lu Yinbing stopped and also looked thoughtful, then said, "Okay, then you can take a taxi yourself."
Xia Yitong just wanted to express her empathy but ended up in a dilemma: "…"
She drooped her ears and looked a little pitiful: "You really won't send me off?"
"What does this story teach us?" Lu Yinbing threw the key into the air, raised his hand to catch it skillfully, and smiled, "As a person, you must never say one thing and mean another. Come on, tell me what you are thinking."
Xia Yitong sighed: "I don't want to take a taxi, just give me a ride. If you really don't give me a ride, I'll be angry."
"Hey, you have a bad temper. You have improved recently. You have become more capable." Lu Yinbing smiled and touched her lips with his finger. "Wait for me here."
Xia Yitong was stunned for a moment, then laughed to herself, isn't it? Her temper has been getting worse recently, and it will probably get worse in the future. She gets angry at the slightest disagreement, let's see if Lu Yinbing is afraid.
Lu Yinbing was very attentive. She drove the car over, got out of the driver's seat, opened the trunk like a gentleman, and piled the suitcases on the side into it. She glanced in Xia Yitong's direction and shouted, "Don't move!"
Xia Yitong's hand stopped in mid-air when she tried to pull the car door. Lu Yinbing walked over with an extremely serious look. If someone didn't know, they would have thought there was a bomb hidden in her car. Xia Yitong was just one step away from touching the detonation switch.
She opened the car door with a stern expression, bent down, and saluted like a gentleman: "Please."
Xia Yitong: “…”
Lu Yinbing stressed with a stern face: "Please come in."
Xia Yitong looked into the car and said, "Is there another woman hiding in here?"
Lu Yinbing pushed her in with a "poof", leaned over to fasten her seat belt, and pretended to be annoyed: "Can't you say something nice to me? I've never done this to anyone except my parents."
Xia Yitong turned around and kissed her on the face very loudly. After the kiss, there was a small spot of shiny liquid on Lu Yinbing's face.
Lu Yinbing said, "That's good enough." Then he turned her face and gave her a deep kiss.
The three parents who sneaked out to watch hurriedly covered their eyes with their hands in a hypocritical manner. The gaps between their fingers were big enough for two Lu Xias.
Xia Yitong rolled down the car window and waved goodbye to his elders politely.
Lu Yinbing tilted his head to look at her profile and said, "You're so good."
It took a lot of effort to turn her head to see the three parents. Xia Yitong simply rolled up the car window and just happened to hear what Lu Yinbing said. She said, "Am I not well behaved?"
Being obedient is good, but being obedient in front of oneself is different from being obedient in front of elders. They are two different kinds of cuteness. Lu Yinbing pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "No, you are hot."
"Ah?" Xia Yitong was stunned and didn't understand.
"It was the hottest when I kept clinging to me and yelling 'enough'." Lu Yinbing sighed again, recalling the taste, "It was really spicy."
Xia Yitong's face changed and he raised his hand to hit her.
Lu Yinbing held the steering wheel with his hands, leaning against the car window, laughing so hard that he almost choked: "Hey, I'm driving... I'm passing the guard post, please be careful of the impact... My god, the world is going downhill and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be... It's domestic violence..."
Xia Yitong symbolically hit her arm twice as a punishment, not hard, because she was the one who felt hurt.
The two of them joked along the way, and they never stopped talking during the one-hour journey. When Lu Yinbing was alone, she said more and more words that made Xia Yitong feel ashamed. She wanted to seal her mouth with a Band-Aid, but when she listened to those words, she felt that there was a kind of intimacy that no one else could compare to. The more ashamed she was, the more she wanted to listen, and the more she listened, the more ashamed she felt. Lu Yinbing understood her psychology thoroughly, and when they were waiting for the red light halfway, he reached out to her to help her improve her words in practice.
The two of them spent quite a while at home, and when they got to the airport, they basically had to go through security. Without any hesitation, Xia Yitong got out of the car and walked through the VIP channel.
Originally, I thought that I would never get used to the separation no matter how long it was, but looking at Xia Yitong's back, dragging the suitcase and walking with the wind, Lu Yinbing no longer felt so sad. He was still reluctant, but because there would always be a day of reunion, every separation was the beginning of the next reunion, and leaving represented expectation.
Lu Yinbing asked for the address of the KTV that his cousins were going to, and instead of going home, he turned around and headed straight for the KTV. On the way, he saw a flower shop, parked his car and went in. He bought a bouquet of flowers that the owner had put together himself. It looked nice and had a good meaning, so he called it "Reunion."
When they got to the private room, they separated the flowers under everyone's astonished gaze. Liu Cheng took out a white tulip from the box, put it under her nose and smelled it, and sighed, "It's different when you're in love. You all buy flowers. My steely straight man Yin Bing sister is gone forever."
Lu Yinbing sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, shrugged his shoulders, and did not comment. He seemed to be in a good mood.
The songs had been ordered. Lu Yinbing listened to each of the three of them sing a song, searched on the computer, and came back. When the prelude of "Li Li" sounded, Lu Yinbing took the microphone from Liu Cheng.
After singing, they went out for a midnight snack and didn't go home until one in the morning. Xia Yitong had already got off the plane and was at the hotel, and had gone to bed. After Lu Yinbing finished washing up, she sent a good night message. The pajamas that Xia Yitong had worn before had not been washed yet, so she held her in her arms and fell asleep.
Before going to bed, I was still thinking vaguely, should I let her leave some clothes behind next time? Or some used underwear
Every New Year is more or less the same: eating, visiting relatives, eating, and visiting relatives. Lu Yinbing successfully escaped from socializing at home this year by using the excuses that it was not okay for her to visit relatives like a child at her age and that she was very busy with work. She drove back to the mental hospital on the fourth day of the New Year.
The atmosphere of the New Year is surprisingly strong here, because there are so many people, it feels like a large old-fashioned clan. We gather together to watch the Spring Festival Gala replay during dinner. It is different from being at home, because of the atmosphere, Lu Yinbing actually watched with great interest and laughed along with everyone.
Bed No. 2, which had been vacant for a long time, had a new patient during the Chinese New Year. It was a little girl. Lu Yinbing couldn't tell what disease she had, but she could occasionally make eye contact with her. Her eyes were like cold glass balls, and her inorganic eyes were cold and gloomy. That day, she was drawing on the bed, and the little girl looked over. Lu Yinbing smiled politely at her, and she gave her a sinister sneer in return: "Hehehe."
Lu Yinbing's whole body trembled.
Sometimes she would talk to herself, but her monologue was different from that of bed number 3. Bed number 3 was completely immersed in her own world, and she would get mad if you interrupted her. The little girl in bed number 2 had a very mild temper except for her sneer. She usually spoke very little, and when she talked to herself, she spoke softly and calmly, with her face turned away and looking to the side, her mouth opening and closing constantly, and sometimes her face was red, as if she was shy.
Later I found out that she was schizophrenic.
Lu Yinbing drew a picture for her, of a little girl on a hospital bed. Above the ward was another little girl with small white wings floating, like an angel. Actually, Lu Yinbing wanted to draw a little boy, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind and drew a little girl instead.
Bed number two took the painting and held it in his arms, thanking her clearly.
Lu Yinbing asked: "What did she tell you?"
The little girl was shy again and whispered, "I like me."
Lu Yinbing said: "She said she likes you?"
The little girl nodded shyly again.
Lu Yinbing felt that she was a little evil. Since her perspective on the world changed, she could no longer look directly at the ambiguous sisterhood in this world. She is just a little girl, what are you thinking! Lu Yinbing criticized herself deeply in her heart, silently reciting the twenty-four-character mantra of prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, etc.
Lu Yinbing asked: "Did you say anything else?"
The little girl slid down shyly and hid under the quilt, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed. Her long, thick eyelashes, like a doll's, flickered as if she had gathered in all the brilliance of the world.
Lu Yinbing realized that her glass-like eyes moved as she spoke, and the expression they revealed was so vivid, she really looked like an angel fallen into the earth.
