Since they were going to regroup, they had to start by returning to their normal routine. They would get up before 7 a.m., exercise, have breakfast, and start a new day. This was the plan they made before going to bed.
The next morning, Xia Yitong was awakened by the alarm clock. She opened her eyes and looked at Lu Yinbing who was lying beside her. Lu Yinbing also had his eyes open, staring fixedly at the ceiling above his head. His eyes were empty, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, leaving only an empty shell.
"Teacher Lu?" Xia Yitong waved her hand in front of Lu Yinbing, but the other party did not respond at all.
Xia Yitong raised her voice: "Lu Yinbing."
Lu Yinbing then slowly moved his eyes, his eyes seemed to be looking at her, but also seemed not to be looking at her. Xia Yitong was anxious, and helped Lu Yinbing sit up, "What happened?"
Lu Yinbing looked at her, his mind went blank, his lips opened, but he was unable to organize his words into systematic language.
"Teacher Lu, are you feeling unwell?" Xia Yitong reached out and put her hand on her forehead. "Do you seem to have a fever?"
Xia Yitong's words were half a beat late to reach Lu Yinbing's ears. When she opened her mouth to stop him, Xia Yitong had already gone to look for the medicine box under the cabinet, which contained a thermometer.
Lu Yinbing obediently held the oral thermometer in her mouth, then blinked her bright dark eyes and looked at Xia Yitong who was sitting on the edge of the bed in pajamas. Her dull five senses gradually recovered, and her ears became extremely quiet.
"36.8c." Xia Yitong held the thermometer in one hand and used her mobile phone in the other to check normal body temperature. According to her knowledge, this should be a normal temperature, and the thermometer also confirmed it, but she checked it again to be on the safe side, and the result still showed normal.
So Lu Yinbing is...
Her brows knitted slightly.
Lu Yinbing slowly got up from the bed, her reflexes quick enough to circle the earth: "I'm so sleepy, I was just dozing off, and you dragged me up and took my temperature."
Xia Yitong: “…”
Could it be her fault? Anyone who sees his girlfriend with eyes wide open in the morning, looking like she hasn’t slept all night, and who seems to not hear anything, would suspect something is wrong, right
Lu Yinbing glanced at her lazily, but there was a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Hey, why do you love me so much?"
It has been a long time since I saw Lu Yinbing with such a relaxed look. He leaned forward as if he had no bones, and his every move exuded a casual and relaxed demeanor.
Xia Yitong was obsessed with her lazy beauty one moment, and the next moment he was so angry that his nose was spitting.
What the hell is this guy? He's still teasing her at such an important moment!
Xia Yitong pushed Lu Yinbing away and went to wash up. She decided to ignore Lu Yinbing for five minutes!
But Lu Yinbing ignored her.
When Xia Yitong came back after washing up, Lu Yinbing was still in the same posture. Even the bangs on his forehead were in the same shape as before he left. He lowered his eyes to look at the ground in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Yitong thought to herself: I would be a fool to fall for her trick again.
One minute later.
The fool Xia Yitong brought clothes to Lu Yinbing and helped her get dressed personally. Lu Yinbing pursed her lips and smiled secretly. Xia Yitong scolded her, "You are so ungrateful. If you do this again, I will ignore you."
"You can't bear to leave."
"You see, I am not willing to give it up. I am not willing to give it up for a day, but I am willing to give it up for an hour."
Lu Yinbing then stopped acting cute and started acting stupid.
While eating breakfast, she held a piece of toast in her hand, and after taking a bite, she began to enter a state of meditation. Xia Yitong threatened her to hit someone, so Lu Yinbing smiled at her cunningly and drank all the milk in the cup.
We went for a walk in the community again. There was sunshine and haze. We wore masks and held hands, sighing that the sky was so dirty, why were we so depressed to go out for a walk.
Even though I was feeling emotional, I still walked around, but I just didn't go home.
It stinks.
Just as I was regretting it, I saw a couple coming out for a walk not far ahead.
Lu Yinbing pointed over there, clicked his tongue, and said, "Look over there, there's a pair of idiots. The little benefit they get from taking a walk is not enough to offset the poison of the smog."
Xia Yitong didn’t have enough masks, so she covered them with her hands and urged, “Yes, yes, so let’s go back quickly.”
Lu Yinbing hooked his arm around her shoulders and ran back laughing. Halfway through, he turned back and shouted, "Hey, you two, the air is poisonous! Run!"
The young couple was confused.
Xia Yitong wanted to cover her mouth.
After returning home, she was in high spirits and wanted to check the air filter. As a result, she was so sick that she ate half a bowl less at lunch. Xia Yitong scolded her jokingly, and Lu Yinbing cried and said that the other party didn't love her anymore, and then she started crying. She was addicted to crying, and Xia Yitong couldn't comfort her. If it were reversed, it would be a long time ago when Xia Yitong went to visit Lu Yinbing at work, and she couldn't stop crying in the bathroom while taking a bath at night. Women are made of water, who can't let go of water
Finally, Xia Yitong knelt down in front of Lu Yinbing with a thud. Lu Yinbing was so frightened that he hiccupped and stopped crying.
This farce, which had no clear origin and ended inexplicably, came to an end.
They wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but they didn't want to sleep too long, as it would feel like the whole afternoon was wasted. So Lu Yinbing took a thin blanket and put it on the sofa. The two of them squeezed together awkwardly. In less than an hour, they both woke up with backaches.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Are you still going out for a walk?" Lu Yinbing looked at the foggy mountains outside the window and yawned, "I'm not awake yet."
"You can't take drugs." Xia Yitong waved at her, motioning her to sit back on the sofa, and said, "Sleep for another half an hour. I'm so sleepy."
Maybe because of the psychiatric drugs she took, she was more sleepy than Lu Yinbing, but Lu Yinbing guessed that she talked to her mother at night, which led to her lack of energy during the day.
Lu Yinbing's hands became even colder in winter. Xia Yitong hugged her from behind, put his arms around her waist, held her hands with his palms, and covered them with a blanket, warming them gently. He buried his face in her shoulder and fell asleep with a steady breathing.
Lu Yinbing was taller and felt a little uncomfortable with her neck hunched, so she tried to divert her attention. She focused her eyes on Xia Yitong's other hand, which was spread out on the sofa. It was crossed after she fell asleep, and her palm was white and tender, with long, slender fingers.
After playing for a few seconds, Xia Yitong retracted her hand, stretched it under Lu Yinbing's neck, and hugged her whole body into her arms. Lu Yinbing didn't move, her chin slightly raised, her eyes curved, and she blew Xia Yitong's eyelashes.
Xia Yitong hummed vaguely and turned her face away.
Lu Yinbing's breath followed her like a shadow, and Xia Yitong couldn't stand it anymore. She hooked the hand around her neck and directly covered Lu Yinbing's mouth.
Lu Yinbing struggled slightly: "Mmmmm."
Xia Yitong bit her earlobe gently, loosened her hand, closed her eyes and threatened: "Are you still making trouble?"
Lu Yinbing: "Stop making trouble. I'm going to sleep."
"Are you obedient?"
"listen."
Xia Yitong fell into a deep sleep again as if she had been hit by acupuncture points. Lu Yinbing tried to get out of her arms but failed. In the end, he had to sleep for another hour with his head resting on Xia Yitong's arm.
Hour after hour, it got dark.
Lu Yinbing, who was lying on the sofa, disappeared. Xia Yitong changed his posture from lying on his side to lying on his back. The quilt was no longer rolled up by Lu Yinbing but was completely uncovered, and now he was alone.
"Doctor, she has changed to sleeping during the day. Is this not good? Okay, I got it. I'll go call her now." Lu Yinbing hung up the phone and picked Xia Yitong up from the sofa.
Xia Yitong stared with dazed eyes, looking like "Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?"
Lu Yinbing said: "The doctor said that you often have hallucinations at night, so he asked you to ensure that you get enough sleep at night, which will help with treatment."
"Oh." Xia Yitong said as he fell onto the sofa.
"If you sleep any longer, it will be tomorrow morning."
Xia Yitong buried her head on the sofa, completely relaxed. Her eyes were too sleepy to open. She murmured, "Then tomorrow morning. Let me close my eyes for a while. Just for a while."
Lu Yinbing suddenly had an idea and carried her to the kitchen, saying, "Hang it up. I'm not responsible if it falls."
She washed and cut vegetables. Xia Yitong hooked her hands around her neck, closed her eyes, and walked on the ground with her feet following. Wherever Lu Yinbing went, she went, like two conjoined twins, completely devoted to each other.
Even when she sat down at the dining table, Xia Yitong was still dizzy and only stared at the dish in front of her. The others were too far away and too tiring to pick up, so Lu Yinbing simply pushed all the dishes over and lined them up in a row in front of her.
After dinner, Lu Yinbing asked Xia Yitong to wash the dishes, but due to lack of concentration, she dropped a plate. Xia Yitong stared at the remains of the celadon underneath in a daze, while Lu Yinbing had already brought some things to clean up.
The moment she walked out of the kitchen, Xia Yitong finally stretched her body, announcing that she had woken up from her nap. Lu Yinbing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He collected the fragments separately into a garbage bag and planned to throw them away together tomorrow.
Rest for half an hour, use this half an hour to fill the bathtub with water, and take a hot bath in the evening. Lu Yinbing lay on the bed, thinking back, this day was full of nothing, took a walk, exercised at home, cooked three meals a day, slept and slept. She didn't mention memorizing the lines, she couldn't muster the energy, while Xia Yitong was sleeping, she read two pages of the script, and didn't finish it in half an hour. Xia Yitong didn't mention it either, maybe she forgot it because she fell asleep, or maybe she remembered it but didn't dare to mention it, for fear of hurting her self-esteem.
It's not that there are no happy things. For example, it's funny to see Xia Yitong covering her mask with her hands, it's warm to see her put the dirty air filter aside, it's funny to see her hiding from me while sleeping, and I will laugh when I see her stretching and laughing, but those happiness are difficult to stay for long.
It’s so warm in bed.
Lu Yinbing, who had coaxed Xia Yitong to sleep, opened his extremely clear eyes in the darkness: How long will it take for the day to dawn
