Xia Yitong was as surprised as Lu Yinbing and asked, "What's wrong? She's not here."
"I know she's not here." Laiying said, "If she was here, why wouldn't she call me in person?"
Xia Yitong thought to herself: I really didn’t call you in person, although my original intention was to create an unexpected surprise.
Laiying: "I just want to ask, didn't you meet her when you went abroad? When did you come back and decide?"
"No, it looks like I won't be able to come back this year." This sentence was completely improvised. Xia Yitong felt that she was getting more and more calm when telling lies. This was not good, not good.
Laiying: "Is that so? But she has started to meet people now. After I finish filming, I will go abroad to accompany her for a while. She will be lonely alone."
Lu Yinbing had already heard from Xia Yitong's words that the other party didn't notice that he was here, so he put on his headphones again. When he heard Laiying say this, he couldn't help but be moved.
Although Laiying taught Xia Yitong a lot of bad things, she is still very considerate as a friend. If I were in her shoes, I might not be able to do as well as she does.
Lai Ying and Xue Yao have both been notified, so let’s get together with the other friends after they return to China.
From the moment she entered the cabin and boarded the plane, Lu Yinbing showed signs of nervousness. Although she tried to hide it, her unconscious extra words and small movements still exposed herself.
Moderate nervousness is actually not a big deal, and Xia Yitong is also happy to see this side of her. For returning to China, nervousness is always better than fear.
During the long flight, Lu Yinbing kept his eyes open most of the time, while Xia Yitong was sleeping the whole time. She didn't know why she was so sleepy. It might be because she was excited, which indirectly led to her not having time to talk to Lu Yinbing. Lu Yinbing was still talking to Xia Yitong one second ago, and the next second, she could hear the sound of even breathing.
If she didn't have that ability, Lu Yinbing would have suspected that Xia Yitong's sleepiness was due to her pregnancy.
But Lu Yinbing is not the kind of woman who has to pester her lover to talk. She has her own way to pass the time, such as playing with Xia Yitong, pinching her nose, kissing her ears and blowing air, until the other party avoids her in her sleep, and then stop the action when she is about to wake up, and then repeat the cycle.
After keeping his eyes open for eight hours, Lu Yinbing rested for an hour.
The plane began to land. As it taxied on the runway, Xia Yitong woke up. Lu Yinbing's hand was on her face. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Wipe your saliva."
Xia Yitong was not in a hurry and slowly wiped the non-existent saliva.
If it was in the past, when Lu Yinbing said there was saliva on her face, she would definitely jump up and hurriedly wipe it with a tissue. But after three or four years, as an old couple, let alone saliva, she had seen all kinds of misbehavior.
Just drooling, tsk.
The two people exchanged glances and saw smiles in each other's eyes. They must have been thinking of the same thing.
After going down, Xia Yitong made a simple plan. She, Xiaoxi, and Fang Hui went out first. She was responsible for attracting the attention of Xue Yao and Laiying. Fang Hui and Xiaoxi pushed the luggage to block their sight. At this time, Lu Yinbing, who was following them far behind, implemented the method of descending from the sky - a huge surprise. After the distribution was made, Lu Yinbing suddenly changed his mind.
Xue Yao and Lai Ying had not communicated with each other beforehand. Xue Yao arrived half an hour early, while Lai Ying arrived on time and asked her assistant to go in. After hearing the plane landed, he waited for a while before going in.
She is a public figure. Although she is not as popular among the people as Xia Yitong due to her different positioning and the way she became famous, she is still a big star with many fans. She can stay in the terminal for a long time without being discovered unless everyone in the terminal is blind.
It wasn't until the disguised Lai Ying ran into Xue Yao at the airport pick-up point that they both asked at the same time, "Why are you here?"
Xue Yao: "I'm here to pick up Xia Yitong."
Laiying said: "Me too."
Both of them were quite smart. It would have been fine to ask one person, but asking two people to pick her up at the airport was not in line with Xia Yitong's personality at all, especially since she was at the movie theater while she was filming. Xia Yitong would never let her delay her work to pick her up at the airport.
Lai Ying had previously thought that she missed him too much and wanted to have a meal together, but was it necessary to bring an agent along when going out with her bestie
Laiying glanced at Xue Yao, and Xue Yao also glanced at Laiying.
It was such a grand event, with an atmosphere that the two of them were "welcoming the emperor", but why did it seem like someone was about to make an appearance
Guessing here and there, not being sure, afraid of hope, because only with hope will there be disappointment.
Just wait patiently. Xue Yao used her small body to shield Lai Ying. Although it was of no use, it still made Lai Ying feel warm in her heart. At the same time, she had a hint of doubt: Xue Yao seemed to be much more friendly than the last time she saw her. Was it her illusion
Little did she know that Xue Yao had "tortured" Xia Yitong so much that she could no longer hold back her sharp tongue and soon became a soft-spoken person.
“Here I come.”
Lai Ying, relying on his height advantage of being slightly taller than Xue Yao, was the first to spot Xia Yitong, who was walking in the crowd wearing a mask and a hat. Xia Yitong deliberately restrained her star temperament, with her back a little hunched. The two assistants behind her were some distance away from her. The luggage was piled up almost taller than the people, and they pretended not to know each other.
Xue Yao's smile disappeared instantly, and her jawline tightened.
Xia Yitong took a few quick steps and hugged Laiying, then went to hug Xue Yao who was standing beside them with a cold face.
Laiying continued to look behind her and asked, "Where's Lu Yinbing?"
Xia Yitong was shocked, but how could she be so easily fooled, so she said: "Ah? What Lu Yinbing, she is still abroad."
Laiying: “Really?”
She still held on to her suspicion, her eyes searching among the crowd of people coming out, her heart sinking, really
Xia Yitong held one person in each hand and walked out without staying for long. It was nothing for her and Laiying to be photographed. If it was posted online, Xia Ying's CP fans would have another party. If Lu Yinbing tormented her again, she would not die, but would be half dead.
She didn't know where she learned this trick, but she suspected that Lu Yinbing was secretly in contact with Lou Xiaolou again, but she had no evidence to prove it. She logged into her second account last time and had a few awkward conversations with Lou Xiaolou, but nothing came of it.
A group of three people plus two assistants who were doing hard labor went to the parking lot outside the terminal. Just when Lai Ying and Xue Yao relaxed their vigilance, a figure quickly jumped out from the crowd and rushed behind the two of them at lightning speed, hooking their necks from behind. Lu Yinbing took the middle value between the tall and short ones and shouted, "Surprise!"
Lai Ying and Xue Yao were both stunned when they heard this familiar voice, and then turned around in surprise.
Xue Yao patted her chest and said, "You bastard, you almost gave me a heart attack."
Laiying poked her shoulder: "Okay, you still dare to hide it from me? Is that good enough?"
Lu Yinbing smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.
If they weren't at the airport, the two would have grabbed Lu Yinbing and given him a good beating. Xia Yitong hurriedly pushed the three of them out until they got into the car - because there were too many people, they were divided into two cars.
Laiying, Xue Yao, Xia Yitong and Lu Yinbing were in one car, Xiaoxi, Fang Hui and Laiying's assistant were in another. The two cars drove to the hotel box that Xia Yitong had booked.
Seven people sat at the same table, drinking and chatting happily. Of course, it was mainly the four people who were chatting happily. The three assistants were quiet. Fang Hui and Xiao Xi were being abusive. Lai Ying's assistant looked at them silently, and then looked at the four women at the table. Ji Qing was everywhere, and she seemed to be the only one who was alone.
Lai Ying and Xue Yao did not ask about the past at all. Instead, Lu Yinbing mentioned his life abroad without any hesitation. When he talked about how he occupied a piece of sea, sunbathed every day, and picked crabs when he had nothing to do, both of them showed envy and jealousy.
Laiying said sourly: "When my sister got married, she finally went out for a vacation. But you went out for half a year at one time."
Lu Yinbing: "I've retired. Tell me how long you've been running the milk tea shop. I haven't retired yet."
"Bah, who's old? Have we only been together for one year? You're about to have your second spring, and you're asking me to retire and return home. Are you afraid that you can't be better at acting than me?" Laiying had been drinking, and spoke without thinking.
Xia Yitong's face changed, and she looked at Lu Yinbing, afraid that she would think too much about it. Unexpectedly, Lu Yinbing laughed ostentatiously: "Old, I can't act better than you? You brag when you drink, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Laiying made a "tsk" sound and said, "Do you have the guts to compete?"
"Let's compete, how do we compete?" Lu Yinbing was calm.
Laiying: "There are three awards in China, ranked by their value. Whoever gets the most valuable female lead award will be the winner."
Lu Yinbing: "Where's the bet?"
Laiying said: "The loser should go to the winner and shout three times, 'Dad, I admit defeat, you are the best actor.'"
"That's it?" Lu Yinbing said with a smile.
"that's all!"
Lu Yinbing: "Okay, let's high-five each other."
Is it that simple? Xia Yitong was watching from the side. The question that she had never dared to ask Lu Yinbing directly was solved by a bet set by Laiying? Lu Yinbing was going to make a movie? Or compete for an award next year.
The two clapped their hands once, and then Xia Yitong suddenly said, "I want to join in too!"
Laiying glanced at her and asked, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
Lu Yinbing touched his eyebrows with his fingers and was clearly smiling.
Xia Yitong was not convinced and said, "You lost to me last year."
As the "defeater" of Xia Yitong in last year's Golden Crow Award: "..."
Xia Yitong: "Don't look down on the poor youngsters. I want to participate too. If I win, you two can say to me together, 'Dad, I admit defeat. You are the best actor.' Is that okay?"
Why? She also wanted to take a gamble. Although she couldn't compare to the two of them for the time being, she still had room for improvement. What if she got lucky
Laiying looked at Lu Yinbing.
Lu Yinbing put down his hand, shrugged and said with a smile: "I have no objection."
Laiying: “…”
No, our bet is ours. Although we have a good relationship, we have been fighting for our careers for so many years. What's the point of adding Xia Yitong into the mix? If I lose, will I really call him dad? How embarrassing.
Seeing that she was slow to respond, Lu Yinbing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Are you scared?"
Laiying stood up suddenly: "Who is afraid?! I'm just afraid that if I take advantage of your girlfriend, you will scold me later."
Lu Yinbing tilted his head to look at her and said, "You know I will scold you, and you still dare to win?"
Laiying: "I..."
It's so unfair that a wife and she teamed up to bully someone.
Lu Yinbing snorted in his heart: I haven't settled the score with you for teaching my girlfriend bad things, what's wrong with scolding you? I'm lucky that I don't scold you three times a day!
Lu Yinbing: "You can gamble if you want, or not. If you don't want to gamble, just admit defeat now. I won't let you call me daddy."
"Hey, I have such a bad temper!" Laiying rolled up his sleeves and stood up suddenly.
Lu Yinbing slammed the table and said, "Sit down! What a mess!"
Laiying sat down on the stool reflexively.
When she realized what was happening, she wanted to fight with Lu Yinbing. Xia Yitong quickly stopped her and said, "I'll admit defeat. I promise that Teacher Lu won't retaliate against you."
Laiying said, “Okay.”
Xue Yao clapped her hands and said, "I will be the notary public. This bet will be effective."
