This morning, Xia Yitong was wondering why Lu Yinbing asked her to call and ask Su Han to take leave. So that's it. And the previous words, if she were Xue Yao, she would also think about it carefully. "Retreat at the peak of her career" became "give up the opportunity to others", no one could swallow this breath.
Actually, it is also an idea to poach Su Han, but firstly, Su Han is the backbone of Qin Mu's company and has shares there, so it is not easy to poach him; secondly, although Lu Yinbing Studio has always been willing to recruit talents one by one, the agency department cannot accommodate two big Buddhas. What if Xue Yao and Su Han have some unpleasantness, how can this company be managed
Anyway, when Lu Yinbing tore Xue Yao's resignation letter into pieces, Xue Yao did not refuse, which meant that the matter was settled.
Lu Yinbing felt refreshed as he accepted Xia Yitong's admiring gaze.
Xue Yao temporarily left the company the next day and flew directly to a quiet place abroad for vacation, and of course, Su Han was there with her. Lu Yinbing gave Xue Yao the address and key of the villa where she lived before, and provided accommodation for free.
Su Han and Xue Yao met at the airport, but when they arrived, they found out that they had been deceived. Xia Yitong told her on the phone that Xue Yao was under too much pressure at work and looked haggard, and urgently needed someone to accompany her to relax, and she was undoubtedly the most suitable person. Later on, it turned out that if Su Han didn't accompany her, Xue Yao might become depressed and commit suicide.
But who can tell her who the woman in front of her who is pushing the luggage and smiling brightly
Su Han wanted to walk back.
"stop."
Xue Yao slowly walked in front of Su Han. Su Han put on a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
Xue Yao dragged her to the security entrance.
after
Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong tried every means to find out what happened afterwards, but the two of them kept silent. Anyway, one summer a long time later, when they were pushing their baby on the street, they happened to meet Xue Yao and Su Han who were trying on clothes in the mall.
Now that the bet has been made, Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong should prepare to win. In this era when good scripts are increasingly hard to come by, although the deadline is set for next year, the film production cycle will take at least three or four months, and there are also preparatory work in the early stages and perfection in the later stages. Add two plus one and five, and it will take nearly a year anyway. It is now May, and time cannot afford to delay.
Xia Yitong has a movie called "Love at First Sight" waiting to be released. The probability of a comedy winning an award is small, but it is not impossible. For example, a certain actor is a leader in comedy performance and has a good reputation among the public. Just as Xia Yitong had considered before, the comedy romance market is bleak. Once a dark horse appears, it will be invincible, and the word-of-mouth and box office bonus are explosive. In addition, Lu Yinbing once talked to the director of "Love at First Sight" and praised Xia Yitong's performance. Because she is an artist under Lu Yinbing, the director praised her in detail and mentioned her advantages in all aspects. Lu Yinbing's mood is slightly complicated. Xia Yitong, who once grew up under her protection, is also an opponent who can compete with her on the same stage.
Laiying, who is currently filming a movie, has worked diligently for many years, and her vision in choosing scripts is definitely not inferior to Lu Yinbing. As far as Lu Yinbing knows, she took this movie specifically to impact next year's awards. The investment is not large, but the production is very sophisticated. The entire crew worked together and suffered a lot. No wonder she was so confident to bet with herself at the wine table.
What about Lu Yinbing? She has been away from the entertainment industry for two years and has not filmed for two years. Her memory, which used to be almost photographic, has been greatly reduced. In comparison, she is the weakest among the three. But once she cheers up again, the radiance she exudes is completely incomparable to the other two. Xia Yitong was worried that Lu Yinbing would not be able to get back to work so quickly, but she was wrong.
Although Lu Yinbing has temporarily left the circle, the resources and connections she has are still there. She has close relationships with some well-known screenwriters and directors. When she wants a script, she just needs to say hello, and the scripts in the hands of those ace screenwriters will be sent to her one after another like snowflakes.
Lu Yinbing printed out the script from her mailbox and read it at home day and night. The first draft, the final draft, the outline were all different. She read them very carefully and sometimes she would just take the script and improvise a segment in the living room.
Xia Yitong cut some fruit and brought it out from the kitchen. She saw Lu Yinbing performing to the air in front of her. Her expression and mannerisms were all natural. She was exactly whoever she was playing.
Xia Yitong stood still, looking at her, and had to admit that some people were born to act. When she stood there, her whole body glowed. And no matter how much she learned and how fast she improved, there would never be another Lu Yinbing.
It’s great that she’s back.
As she watched, warmth began to well up in her eyes. She blinked and forced back the tears. Even though she was moved, she didn't want Lu Yinbing to see her cry.
Lu Yinbing was so absorbed in her acting that she noticed Xia Yitong standing at the kitchen door ten minutes later. She walked over to her and took the fruit plate from her, saying with a smile, "Why are you standing here like an idiot?"
"Look at you."
"What's so good about me?" Lu Yinbing responded reflexively, and then he added the second half of the sentence for Xia Yitong, "Okay, I know I'm good-looking, come on and take a look."
Xia Yitong laughed.
Lu Yinbing put down the fruit plate and said, "I'll finish reading this one first. You can pick one if there's one that suits you. If not, then read another one."
Each actor has a role that suits him or her. Lu Yinbing chooses the role that suits her, and Xia Yitong chooses the role that suits her. There is no conflict. Even if there is a conflict, given their relationship, there is no need to hide it.
They watched for two hours. Xia Yitong put down the script after her. Lu Yinbing picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick, bit off half of it, and passed the other half to Xia Yitong with her mouth.
They spent the whole day in sweetness and then watched a movie in the living room at night with all the curtains drawn and wrapped in a blanket, watching the movie on the projector. They took a shower and went upstairs at ten o'clock, did some exercises in bed, and fell asleep in each other's arms before twelve o'clock.
Half a month later, Lu Yinbing finally picked a script she liked. In addition to starring in it, she also invested a sum of money, so the crew was quickly formed. It took another month and a half to select the actors. In mid-July of that year, Lu Yinbing joined the new crew.
On the first day of the official filming, Lu Yinbing was holding her breath and her heart was beating very fast. She had memorized the lines, which were only a few in total, so she had no pressure at all. She had acted them out with Xiaoxi several times before entering the filming area, but she was still afraid... that the past would repeat itself. That time, she had memorized the lines well before, but her mind went blank as soon as she was in front of the camera.
Even more nervous than her was Xia Yitong. Xia Yitong was backstage at the recording of a program. Fortunately it had come to an end, otherwise her absent-mindedness would have been exposed on stage. She kept in touch with Xiaoxi all the time, staring at WeChat, and asked Fang Hui to help block it for her so that she would not be thought to be crazy by the staff.
But despite this, some people still complained about her, whispering in the corner that she was playing big. When other celebrities appear on their show, they all take it seriously, but she has been playing with her phone in the backstage. She can't even remember the script later. Aren't they the staff who suffer? If Xia Yitong's hearing was not much better than that of ordinary people, she would not have heard them talking about her. She never took such trivial matters to heart. In Lu Yinbing's words, she is a big star, so what's wrong with playing big? It didn't delay work, and she ate your rice
But what they said next made Xia Yitong feel a little bit helpless.
Someone whispered to the person who was talking to stop talking: "Teacher Xia has a bad temper, don't let her hear it."
Another person said: "Have you forgotten that the senior sister would draw her sword and fight whenever she disagreed with someone?"
The person who said Xia Yitong was a big shot seemed to feel guilty, but still said, "That's in a TV show. Reality is not that exaggerated."
The person who advised her said, "Don't you know what it means to act in your true colors?"
Another person spoke up again: "Didn't you watch the previous episodes of the celebrity talk show "xx Show"? Xia Yitong said it herself. She said that she is the opposite of others. The more calm they are, the better their tempers become. She has been in the industry for more than ten years. She used to have a good temper, but now, I don't know why, she is letting herself go more and more, and her temper is getting worse and worse. She also said that it is best not to provoke her, otherwise she will easily get angry. I watched that episode twice and remember it clearly."
"No way?"
"Why not? Did you guys watch the last video? She even dared to bite Lu Shen."
"Aren't they a couple? What's wrong with taking a few bites?"
"Who said they were a couple? They were clearly just good friends."
"Don't argue about this. It won't lead to any conclusion. Xiaox, you just mentioned xx show. Which episode did Xia Yitong attend?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"I'm just a casual fan of hers. You said it's quite interesting. I want to go and see it."
…
Xia Yitong laughed as she listened. She had a bad temper because she had been with Lu Yinbing for too long and accepted her theories. In life, there should not be so many rules and regulations. People would always find fault with you no matter what you do. It is better to be true to your nature. As long as you have the ability, many people will like your true nature and think you are not pretentious. So her temper became worse and worse, and she was too lazy to tolerate many things that she could tolerate or not.
The media would occasionally write nonsense about her, but Xia Yitong didn't care. She was kind at heart and would pretend not to see anything unless something was said to be too extreme. She was too busy to care about all this mess. There was only one time when the media made up some untrue things and she left a comment below, and was praised by passers-by for doing a good job.
Those are all things of the past. Now Xia Yitong stares at the screen of her mobile phone, not daring to relax for even a second.
Xiaoxi's messages popped up one by one:
The director just asked Teacher Lu to prepare.
Teacher Lu was very nervous and recited his lines to me several times.
She walked over.
laughed.
The director said a few words to her, probably about the play.
The call for action has come, but it’s not yet Mr. Lu’s turn to speak.
The message paused here, about ten seconds. The moment the words popped out, she held Fang Wei's hand and closed her eyes.
Pass, pass, you must pass.
Xiaoxi: The supporting actor said the wrong lines.
Xia Yitong -…
Xia Yitong - You don’t have to tell me this kind of news next time.
Xiaoxi—Okay, I’ll continue watching.
Xiaoxi—Second action!
This time Xia Yitong waited for a full minute.
Xiaoxi—Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Xia Yitong's heart was beating in her throat. She hurriedly typed a reply to ask her if she had passed. Before she could type those three words in the input box, Xiaoxi's next message came in.
One pass ah ah ah
Xia Yitong stood up suddenly, hugged Fang Wei, and turned around more than ten times. Her reaction was exactly the same as Xiaoxi's now, but she couldn't scream. Fang Wei reacted quickly and covered her face.
Xia Yitong failed to kiss Fang Hui, so he put her down and went to the corridor outside to calm down under the shocked gaze of the backstage staff.
As soon as I walked out, Lu Yinbing called.
The call was connected, and neither of them spoke.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Yinbing started laughing over there, and Xia Yitong followed her and laughed so hard that they couldn’t stop. Tears flowed from the corners of their eyes, but they were still laughing.
The sound of the wind carries the laughter far away, across thousands of mountains and rivers, to the beloved.
"Miss, the director is calling you." Xiaoxi came out to find Lu Yinbing.
Xia Yitong heard it and said with a smile, "Go ahead." Then she added, "I love you."
Lu Yinbing said: "I love you too."
The door of the emergency exit was closed, and Lu Yinbing returned to the shooting center on the set and became the focus of the audience again, continuing her acting myth with confidence and flamboyance.
A month after Lu Yinbing started filming, a script that Xia Yitong liked was delivered to her. After consulting with the screenwriter and director, the script was significantly revised, and the screenwriter was extremely satisfied with the revised script. In November, Xia Yitong joined the crew of a new movie. At this time, Laiying had finished filming, Lu Yinbing was about to wrap up, and her movie had just begun.
Xue Yao has returned to China. As agreed beforehand, she is only responsible for the affairs of the agency department. However, the two artists under her are busy filming on the crew and they leave work on time every day without delaying for even a minute.
Xia Yitong and Lu Yinbing have been together for five years. The day after Xia Yitong finished filming, Lu Yinbing secretly invited all his friends to a party in the villa. On that day, there was a lot of chaos and everyone showed off their talents. Xia Yitong improvised and played all kinds of instruments. The atmosphere instantly reached its peak and she undoubtedly won the first place in the talent competition. Lu Yinbing jumped up and clapped until her hands turned red. The second and third places were clearly the martial arts and dance of the two friends. Laiying won the encouragement award with a whistle song and several other people. Although everyone who participated won a prize, Laiying was still very proud. Laiying also brought Lou Xiaolou, the "matchmaker" of Xia Yitong and Lu Yinbing, that day. Lu Yinbing was too embarrassed to talk to her because of her virtue and talent, but Lou Xiaolou and Xia Yitong got along well.
That night, the last person to fall asleep was at five in the morning. They slept until the sun rose to the top of the sky, and then the crowd dispersed like birds and beasts. After leaving, they were all respectable celebrities in the circle.
Shortly after Xia Yitong finished filming, the annual competition for the three major awards in the Chinese film industry officially kicked off. None of the three new films were from Hong Kong, so they could only compete for two awards - the Golden Cong Award and the Golden Crow Award.
In mid-October, the Golden Crow Awards announced the shortlist for each award, and coincidentally, all three of them were on the list.
It will soon become clear who calls whom dad.
On November 4, the Golden Crow Awards ceremony was held on the other side of the strait. Male stars in suits and dignified and elegant female stars came one after another, and the red carpet was sparkling with pearls and emeralds.
Lu Yinbing came over with her arm around Xia Yitong's shoulders, and the reporters were taking pictures like crazy. Lu Yinbing smiled at the reporters around her. She rarely showed such a pleasant expression to outsiders, but once she smiled, everyone got lost in her smile.
Xia Yitong secretly pinched Lu Yinbing's waist, and Lu Yinbing smiled even more brightly.
Afterwards, another person came in between Xia Yitong and Lu Yinbing, and with a push of his arm, he pulled Xia Yitong away from Lu Yinbing's arms. The person was Lai Ying.
The situation at this time was that Xia Yitong had one hand in Lai Ying's hand and the other hand in Lu Yinbing's hand.
The atmosphere was tense when the three met. Besides the usual bickering, there was also the bet. The media was happy to see this happen. The flashes kept flashing, and the limelight of other stars on the red carpet was stolen. However, they could not show their dissatisfaction. Who knows how many people were secretly hurting them.
Xia Yitong felt wronged. She held one in each hand and took the two people away with a very natural smile, signed their names, and took their seats.
This live broadcast on the Internet also caused another wave of war among fans. There is no need to elaborate on the exciting parts.
The organizer also knew how to have fun and directly arranged the three people together, with Xia Yitong sitting in the middle, Laiying on the left and Lu Yinbing on the right. Xia Yitong couldn't stand being sandwiched between the two sides and took the initiative to ask to change seats with Lu Yinbing, which was much quieter.
There were some new faces attending the awards ceremony today. This was Xia Yitong's fourth time here. She was a little dazed, as if she was also an old lady? Lu Yinbing shook her hand hanging by her side and gave her a concerned look. Xia Yitong shook her head and whispered to her: "I remember the first time I came here, it was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden."
Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "How do you feel now?"
Xia Yitong laughed: "The host said the first half of the sentence, and I knew what the second half was."
Lu Yinbing: “Hahaha.”
The live camera captured this scene perfectly. They were chatting happily and laughing heartily, making the figure next to them look particularly lonely.
Halfway through the award ceremony, Lu Yinbing got up from his seat and went to the stage to present awards as a guest. Laiying also went down once, but Xia Yitong did not because she was not qualified enough. When Xia Yitong thought of this, she felt that she still had a lot of room for improvement and needed to work harder.
Lu Yinbing did not make a public announcement until the movie announced the lead actors. Everyone was very excited. Now that he was presenting the award, he was inevitably questioned by another guest. Lu Yinbing laughed it off.
Five candidates for Best Actress have appeared on the TV walls on both sides, and clips of the selected movies are playing in a loop.
The respected senior held a golden envelope in his hand and announced with full energy: "The best actress of this year's Golden Crow Award is..."
He glanced at the open envelope.
Xia Yitong was sweating and held Lu Yinbing's hand tightly. Lu Yinbing also felt that his heart was not his own.
"Lu Yinbing!"
The whole audience burst into crazy applause. Laiying clapped the hardest. Why not Xia Yitong? Xia Yitong immediately threw herself into Lu Yinbing's arms and, as expected, started crying again.
Lu Yinbing finally understood that Xia Yitong would cry if he won the award.
She comforted the crying Xia Yitong, stood up and hugged Laiying, who said sincerely with tears in her eyes, "Congratulations."
Lu Yinbing whispered in her ear, "Thank you, son."
Laiying: “…”
She shouldn't have congratulated her! What the hell!
Lu Yinbing walked down the steps, shook hands and hugged people along the way, and went up to the stage to receive the award from the senior: "Thank you."
The old senior was already 80 years old. He held Lu Yinbing's hand with admiration and satisfaction in his eyes, and said: "I hope you can forge ahead on this path, make progress with humility, and create greater glory."
Lu Yinbing nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Teacher Liu."
After a round of applause, Lu Yinbing began to give her acceptance speech. She looked at the award in her hand, a little overwhelmed, and did not speak for a long time.
Everyone present was waiting, and it was very quiet.
After another period of silence, Lu Yinbing finally spoke: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Yinbing."
The whole audience burst into laughter, but also felt a little confused. How could Lu Yinbing, who was used to such scenes, come up with such a clumsy and awkward introduction
Lu Yinbing: "I can tell from everyone's laughter. Do you think I have traveled through time? Or am I stupid? Why would I suddenly introduce myself? There is no need to introduce myself, because you all know me, and you are even a little annoyed by me."
The underlying meaning of Lu Yinbing's words is that I have won too many awards, you envy, hate me, but there is nothing you can do.
The corners of Xia Yitong's mouth twitched. Even she felt that it was inappropriate for Lu Yinbing to say this in this occasion, let alone other people. As expected, in the live broadcast, several female stars did not look very good.
But Lu Yinbing's next sentence changed their minds. She really didn't mean that.
Lu Yinbing said: "Everyone knows that I once retired from the entertainment industry for two years, but no one knows why. The reason I announced to the public was the recurrence of an old injury. It was indeed an old injury. There was a rumor that I had suffered from severe depression. What I suffered was a recurrence of depression. I was in a very bad state every day, and the slightest stimulation could make me very upset."
Lu Yinbing pointed to his head and said, "In 2018, I fell on the set and hit my head. My memory has plummeted. I have to memorize a simple line over and over again for half a month, and I may not be able to remember it. Before that, I had a photographic memory."
The tears that Xia Yitong had held back with great difficulty burst out again. She never thought that Lu Yinbing would say these words at the award ceremony.
The other stars in the audience looked at each other, unable to believe what they heard.
Lu Yinbing said: "Under the double blow, I retired from the industry, this is the truth. I once thought that I would never return to the acting industry, but many people helped me. They encouraged me in various ways to step back into this star-studded land. Thank you to my mother and my friends, thank you to my agent who was coerced and induced, thank you to the director, screenwriter and everyone in the crew, and thank you, you who worked the hardest."
You who love me the most.
Lu Yinbing scanned the entire room, fixed his eyes in one direction, and shouted, "I'm talking about you, raise your hands."
Call her? Xia Yitong raised her hand tentatively and waved at her.
Lu Yinbing raised the trophy at her and said with a smile, "Did you see it?"
Xia Yitong nodded vigorously.
Lu Yinbing said loudly: "Thank you!"
Xia Yitong started crying again.
The day after the award ceremony, Lu Xia and her partner disappeared from the country at the same time. Xue Yao turned down all the invitations that came to her. Some passers-by said they saw them in the United States, but the two of them ran away very fast, and the photo was so blurry that Xue Yao couldn't recognize who they were.
Go ahead and have fun, you won’t die from the fun.
The two of them went abroad for several months, and when they came back, they took on two films and ran away after finishing them. They traveled very frequently between China and abroad. No one knew what they were plotting, and they even kept it a secret from Xue Yao.
A year and a half later, major entertainment sections released huge headlines.
Lu Yinbing showed up at the airport, twins were found, and the fact that she secretly married and had children was confirmed
The photo showed Lu Yinbing wearing a double-breasted white windbreaker and pushing a double-seat baby stroller. She was not shy at all, and walked through the airport with two assistants following behind her. A few sharp-eyed people also recognized that one of the two assistants seemed to be Xia Yitong's.
Lu Yinbing's house was filled with people who came to see the babies. The two children were only a little bit old, could not speak, and spent most of their time sleeping in the stroller. They were very fair and tender.
Xia Yitong said: "I just went to throw away some trash, and the reporters didn't notice. When I was about to go back, Lu Yinbing had been surrounded by people. I couldn't get in, so I just slipped away."
Laiying took a baby out of the stroller. The baby was so soft and fragrant that she couldn't let it go. She said, "Old Lu just likes to show off. He doesn't even wear a hat. He just wants people to know that this is your child."
"What's wrong? Are you jealous? Why don't you have one too?" Lu Yinbing said, "Give the child back to me."
Laiying retorted, "Did you give birth to the child? Didn't you find someone to surrogate the baby? I won't return it, I won't return it. I'm still the child's godmother."
"What godmother? You are my son, and you are of the same generation as my daughter, okay? Do you have any shame?"
"Stop arguing, or you'll wake the baby up." Xia Yitong's authority has grown day by day since she had a child. She reached out to take the child from Laiying's hand, but Laiying immediately shushed her and stopped talking. The others gathered around the stroller to look at the other baby, and Lu Yinbing didn't dare to say a word.
"A name?" a friend asked.
Lu Yinbing came up to him like he was presenting a treasure, and said proudly, "I've got them. One is called Lu Xia, and the other is called Xia Lu."
Laiying's mouth twitched. This naming style... Are you sure the children won't beat up the people who named them when they grow up
She put the baby, whose name she didn't know, back into the stroller and asked Lu Yinbing maliciously, "Which of these two is Lu Xia and which one is Xia Lu?"
Lu Yinbing: “…”
How can you tell them apart when they look so much like her?!
Four years later, the Cannes International Film Festival.
“the best actress.”
"Yinbing Lu."
"Best Actress: Lu Yinbing." The simultaneous translation in the Festival Palace echoed throughout the auditorium, "The winning film is "See You."
The audience stood up and applauded like thunder. Lu Yinbing walked up to the podium he had dreamed of for a long time, took the trophy, looked at the unfamiliar audience, and found the most familiar face among them.
Lu Yinbing's nervous heart immediately calmed down. She took a breath and said, "I got it. I'm very excited." She was really excited. Not being nervous didn't mean she wasn't excited. She was so excited that her hands were shaking.
"Thanks to my agent, I have done what I promised you, but I haven't stopped yet. You probably can't resign for the time being. Thank you Director Cheng, and thank you to everyone who has worked hard for this award." Lu Yinbing looked at Xia Yitong in the audience and laughed, "Thanks to Xia Yitong, I can finally say your name openly. And my babies, they must be applauding for mommy..."
In a hotel not far from the Film Festival Palace, Xue Yao was watching the live broadcast with Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong's two daughters. The two of them were running around the room, but they didn't look at the screen. After Lu Yinbing finished her acceptance speech, Xue Yao picked up the children in each hand and ordered them seriously, "Clap your hands, your mother won the award!"
She has been working for so many years, but she still can't retire! Xue Yao was happy, but she was angry, so her words were not very gentle.
The two children were frightened by her fierce tone and started crying.
Xue Yao tried to coax him but he didn't listen, so she had to lie down on her own initiative and asked, "How about riding a horse?"
The two children burst into laughter, and their expressions changed so quickly that Xue Yao suspected that they were just pretending. In less than a minute, the two started fighting over who was riding a horse, and they both cried.
Xue Yao: “…”
Whoever wants to take care of her can do so. She will never take care of me again.
Another year has passed.
Lu Xia and his friend came back from a vacation abroad and unfortunately were blocked by the media at the airport. They didn't know if their whereabouts were leaked or what, but there were so many people blocking them that the security guards couldn't stop them.
The media reporters were surrounding them like crazy. Lu Yinbing was rushing home to teach her children a lesson, and was annoyed by these people. This time, Lu Xia beat the kid next door until he cried again, as if it was for a marshmallow. What a useless guy.
Lu Yinbing said in annoyance: "What do you want to ask? Hurry up."
A petite female reporter rushed to the front and asked, panting, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Xia Yitong?"
It's a trivial matter. I keep asking these people about it. I'll just give you a quick death. Lu Yinbing raised the corner of his lips, looked at the female reporter with a smile and said, "What do you think our relationship is?"
The female reporter was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
"This is the kind of relationship." Lu Yinbing grabbed Xia Yitong by the collar, lowered his head, and kissed Xia Yitong on the lips.
The whole place was silent.
After the kiss, she used her fingers to take out a necklace with a ring hanging from it from Xia Yitong's collar. The ring was a pair with the one she was wearing now. The ring with her body temperature sparkled under the light.
Lu Yinbing laughed loudly, and taking advantage of the reporters' unpreparedness, he pushed away the crowd in front of him with one hand and left with Xia Yitong.
The reporters’ flashlights were blasting frantically behind me, and I could no longer catch up with the people in front of me.
