Before returning to Beijing, Lu Yinbing went to visit the crew. Although as a boss she didn't have to hide when visiting her employees, she didn't want to see other people, so she called the director privately. The director then passed the message to Xia Yitong, and Fang Hui sneaked out of the set and gave the room card to Xiaoxi.
Last time it was Lu Yinbing who hid his beauty in a golden house, but things have changed and now Xia Yitong is hiding Lu Yinbing.
After work, Lu Yinbing was watching TV, with his injured arm casually resting on his leg. Xia Yitong closed the door, looked at his room in surprise, and said, "Is this still my room? Where did this handsome boy come from?"
The handsome young man said, "It's your room, come in."
Xia Yitong deliberately went around to her right and sat down, snuggling into her arms: "Are you healed?"
Lu Yinbing slightly raised his left hand: "My hand is a little weak, and the nails have to be removed for another half a year. The doctor said it's normal. I will recover after doing some exercises slowly in the future."
"That's good." Xia Yitong said, "Did the doctor allow you to be discharged from the hospital? Or did you run away early?"
Lu Yinbing's mouth twitched, thinking that you really understand me, and said truthfully: "The doctor said it's best to observe for a while, but I know my own body, it's almost healed, I will suffocate if I stay any longer. I have already made an appointment with the doctor in Beijing for regular checkups, it's okay."
Xia Yitong knew that Lu Yinbing had been hospitalized for three and a half months, which was already the limit, so she didn't dwell on it. Besides, the medical level in Beijing was better than here, so she asked, "Do you have a headache?"
Lu Yinbing shook his head.
Xia Yitong was worried and held her head to look at it, as if she could see something. Lu Yinbing laughed and said, "Do you think your eyes are X-rays? Can they also take a picture of what's in my head?"
Xia Yitong said: "It's good to take a look. Handsome brother, don't you realize that I'm taking advantage of you?"
Lu Yinbing said: "I found out. He secretly kissed my face and ears while looking at my head."
Xia Yitong laughed and wanted to press her down on the sofa, but the moment of her concussion seemed still vivid in her mind. She quickly retracted the force she had just exerted halfway, but Lu Yinbing came from behind and pinned her down with one hand.
Lu Yinbing looked down at her with some unclear emotions in his eyes. Xia Yitong also looked at her, and the next second he raised his head and kissed her lips. Lu Yinbing kissed her back even more passionately.
Their bodies overlapped, their breathing intertwined, as they squeezed on a narrow sofa. Lu Yinbing's fingers unbuttoned Xia Tian's thin layer of clothing, then went around her back, lifting her fingertips slightly, and her body lightened. Xia Yitong let out a soft cry, and the warm touch wrapped around her chest.
Xia Yitong came almost without any stimulation, and Lu Yinbing stared at her carefully prepared hands and sighed. She sat up and took off her pants that were pulled down to her knees. Xia Yitong didn't look at her and went to the bathroom naked from the waist down. When the bathroom door closed, Lu Yinbing was stunned for a moment and followed.
"Hey, won't you wait for me?"
It’s terrible, mimosa has a bad temper.
After taking a shower, she came out wrapped in a bath towel, without wearing pajamas or a robe, and lay naked in the air-conditioned quilt. Lu Yinbing glanced at the air-conditioning temperature, which was 28 degrees, and used the remote control to adjust it down two degrees.
After thinking about it again, I adjusted it down two degrees.
Xia Yitong had been observing her, so how could she not notice her movements? "Why are you hitting so low?"
"Let's simulate the previous situation." Lu Yinbing said, "If I were cold, wouldn't I keep burrowing into your arms?"
Xia Yitong took the remote control from her and switched it back to 26 degrees. "Even if we want to recreate the scene, we set it to 26 degrees before, not 24."
Lu Yinbing groaned: "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."
Xia Yitong smiled and said, "I'm 24, you're 28, and when we add the two together, it becomes 26. With your personality, how can you follow other people's standards?"
Lu Yinbing nodded: "That makes sense."
She thought about it carefully based on what Xia Yitong said, and it was indeed true. Xia Yitong had a fever, and she was afraid of the cold. She raised the temperature of the air conditioner in the middle of the night. Xia Yitong woke up with the fever, and he had been secretly in love with her for many years. He did not want to take the air conditioner, but bought a fan to be self-sufficient. The last 26 degrees was a compromise from Lu Yinbing in exchange for Xia Yitong's willingness to act as a human pillow.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yinbing just had this feeling in her mind, and then she subconsciously went back in time to calculate whether two years had passed, and the conclusion she got was "yes". She felt strange about her thinking process, but she didn't think much about it. Sometimes people feel confused about time memory, which is normal, and she just needs to sort it out.
Lu Yinbing put his arm around Xia Yitong's shoulders, looked over his shoulder and saw the script on the bedside table. He immediately suppressed his restless mood, propped himself up and took the script over.
Familiar with the markings and handwriting, Xia Yitong said: "Yes, it's yours. I asked Xiaoxi to give it to me."
Lu Yinbing had memorized the script by heart, not only her own, but also Yu Tian's. She flipped through a few pages, and her acting urge came to her, so she said to Xia Yitong, "Let's act together."
Although it was a beautiful day and they finally got together, Lu Yinbing wanted to do whatever she wanted. So she played the foster mother and Lu Yinbing played Yu Tian. The two did not move. Lu Yinbing took the script and rehearsed on the bed. They rehearsed until after midnight. Before going to bed, Xia Yitong always felt weird when she was kissed. She locked her legs around the other's waist and was confused. When she was about to kiss him, Lu Yinbing shouted "Mom" with a bad taste and took advantage of the situation to advance. Xia Yitong suddenly opened her eyes. This time, her reaction was stronger than every time before. She scratched Lu Yinbing's back with her fingers and couldn't let go for a long time.
Xia Yitong had to take another shower, then came back and slept with her back to Lu Yinbing. Lu Yinbing insisted on getting close to him, but Xia Yitong pushed her hand away, turned off the light, then turned around and hugged her.
"Goodnight, Mom."
"Good night, my dear daughter."
"You're taking advantage of me."
"Go to sleep." Xia Yitong reached out and twisted Lu Yinbing's ear, not using much force, and then touched it tenderly.
She remembered the origin of this action. It was the action she often did to Tian in "Foster Mother". It was too gentle to be a warning, and too gentle to be a punishment.
Lu Yinbing stayed in the town for three days in total. Besides being affectionate, he also provided Xia Yitong with some tips on how to act in this play. Facing Xia Yitong's hesitation to speak, Lu Yinbing just smiled and said, "You have been filming for more than three months. It will be too late for me to take over. So shoot well."
Xia Yitong did a good job in the filming. Director Cheng had praised her many times in private to Lu Yinbing. Although on the set, Xia Yitong did not receive much praise from Director Cheng, very little, almost none. Except for the first audition, Director Cheng was afraid that she would run away, so he praised her a lot.
This is Director Cheng's style. When Lu Yinbing was filming with him before, she thought he had something against her. If she hadn't occasionally gone out for dinner with him on the set and seen that he was quite lively in private, Lu Yinbing would have been very depressed when filming with him. It was also because of this that Lu Yinbing was always very motivated on his set. The expectation of being praised sometimes surpassed her joy in filming.
It was not until several years later, when she won the Silver Bear Award, that Director Cheng sent her a solemn email, which read: You gave the best performance, which will be enough for me to savor for the rest of my life.
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Later, she accepted the unique personalities of various directors in the entertainment industry.
It is a blessing to meet such a good director. Director Cheng is an experienced whetstone. Lu Yinbing feels relieved to hand over the talented Xia Yitong to him for polishing, as she has also been through this.
She left Xia Yitong in the small town and took Xiaoxi back to the capital.
She had been lying in bed for three and a half months. She had lost 20 kilograms at first, but later she gained it back a little. Now she is about 10 kilograms lighter than before she was admitted to the hospital. The villa hired a nutritionist to prepare three sumptuous meals a day for her, and Xiaoxi could also have a taste. In one month, Lu Yinbing regained her weight, but Xiaoxi gained 10 kilograms.
Lu Yinbing started to resume his fitness, running in the gym at home every day and doing leg training. Strength training is not enough for the time being. Xiao Xi, who had entered the world of slightly plump people from a thin person, joined him.
She went to the best hospital in Beijing for a re-examination and had an X-ray. The doctor's conclusion was exactly the same as the expert in City C, saying that a part of her body that manages memory and emotions was damaged and might be affected. She was asked if she had any signs of forgetting things or if her mood had changed drastically.
Lu Yinbing said: "No, it has always been normal, and I still remember everything that happened 20 years ago."
Doctor: "I'm just saying it's possible, it may not have an impact."
Lu Yinbing thanked the doctor and went to another department to ask about her hand. Her hand recovered faster than expected. Lu Yinbing couldn't sit still anymore, so she went to the company in person and asked Xue Yao to find a script for her to film.
Xue Yao tried to persuade her, but to no avail. What else could she do? Help her find it.
Lu Yinbing had very high requirements for scripts, and it might take a year or two to find a suitable one, so she was not worried that Lu Yinbing would delay his recovery because of filming. Coincidentally, just one month later, Lu Yinbing picked a script that Xue Yao handed in that she liked, a pure art film with a fresh style, which could not only help Lu Yinbing adjust his mood, but also satisfy his acting addiction.
Xue Yao's heart skipped a beat at first, and she said, "Oh no!" Then she read the script through. There was no action scene, and the whole story had a slow and natural rhythm. The background of the story was in the city at the end of the last century, and there was no need to go to the countryside or experience life in a mental hospital. Lu Yinbing had filmed similar backgrounds before, so he was very familiar with it and hardly needed much preparation.
She felt relieved and agreed. Although it would be useless if she disagreed, as Lu Yinbing's manager, she still had to show her attitude to make Lu Yinbing happy.
The crew of the new drama is scheduled to start filming in X City in December, which is still two months away, so there is plenty of time. Lu Yinbing used these two months to get familiar with the script and took a long vacation in the coastal city where the story takes place. She adjusted her body and emotions to the best condition and was looking forward to welcoming her new movie.
