Romance of the Stars

Chapter 349: That little thing called coming out (1)

Views:

Coming out is a long story, and it probably starts from when Lu Yinbing returned to China.

After Xue Yao's resignation letter was shredded into slag by the shredder, she talked to Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong about it in detail. After all, it was about her hairline. Working in the agency department sounds good, as if it's easy, but you still have to manage these two ancestors. When something goes wrong, you have to take on public relations and publicity. It's not easy at all. Not to mention being busy day and night, the main reason is that the psychological stimulation is too great.

In view of Xia Yitong's "bad record", Xue Yao mainly talked with Lu Yinbing, while Xia Yitong listened in.

Xue Yao: "I just want to ask you when you plan to come out."

Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "It will be a long time. Isn't it good now? I won't go out for the time being."

"Don't give me that." Xue Yao looked unhappy and said, "Don't tell me it's temporary or not. Your good girlfriend Schrodinger has been playing tricks on me for so long. Do you think I will be fooled?"

Lu Yinbing didn't know about Schrödinger's straightforwardness, so she asked Xue Yao. Xue Yao turned away and said angrily: "Go away, go ask your partner. It's annoying just talking about it."

Lu Yinbing raised a playful smile and looked at Xia Yitong. Xia Yitong didn't think it was a big deal at first, but she felt inexplicably ashamed when she told Lu Yinbing about it. She briefly summarized her plan.

Finally, she did not forget to state her original intention: "Didn't you say you would see me? I was thinking that if you stayed out for ten or eight years, I would remind you to come back and find me."

Xue Yao said, "Hey!" and said, "That's not what you told me originally!"

Lu Yinbing glanced at Xia Yitong and asked Xue Yao with interest: "Oh? What did she say?"

Xia Yitong took a step forward and wanted to cover Xue Yao's mouth. However, she didn't have the courage to cover Xue Yao's mouth. As soon as she had this intention, Xue Yao glared back.

Seeing her performance like this, Lu Yinbing became more and more curious about what Xia Yitong was talking about.

Xue Yao betrayed Xia Yitong without hesitation, "She just wanted to show off her affection. When you were not around, she showed off yours as well. On the surface, she looked well-behaved, but she was quicker than anyone else to expose her love affair. She was just short of having a few big words printed on her forehead."

"What word?"

"I love Lu Yinbing. I just love her. The whole world must know that I love her."

"There are twenty words now." Lu Yinbing laughed.

She said to Xia Yitong, who was so ashamed that she couldn't face herself, "Go home and tell me about it. If I hadn't asked Xue Ma, I wouldn't have known about it."

Xue Yao was no longer moved by the title "Mother Xue". She was even a little happy. She liked this obviously calmer "eldest daughter" and said, "Educate her well."

Lu Yinbing responded with a smile.

Lu Yinbing left Xue Yao a promise that she would never come out unless she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. This finally made Xue Yao feel relieved. Just as she felt relieved, she stared at her warily and asked, "You won't write a song for Xia Yitong, will you?"

Lu Yinbing: “…”

Xue Yao: "You don't seem to have this ability?"

Lu Yinbing said angrily: "You know that too!"

Xue Yao rubbed her nose, not feeling embarrassed at all, and said confidently: "I'm taking precautions. What if you suddenly become inspired and write a song? Or, you can ask Xia Yitong to write a song for you and sing it directly."

"Hey, this idea seems pretty good." Lu Yinbing looked thoughtful.

Xue Yao: "I'm bald."

Lu Yinbing laughed and fell into Xia Yitong's arms.

Xue Yao said: "Xia Yitong can't just randomly send a song to you."

Lu Yinbing shirked the blame and said, "I can't control her. Ask her yourself."

"Ask her herself?" Xue Yao glanced at Xia Yitong. Xia Yitong no longer had any credibility in her eyes. She would not be fooled by Lu Yinbing. Otherwise, she would be so angry that she would be exasperated. "Anyway, you have guaranteed it. I don't care. I will put the blame on you if anything goes wrong."

Lu Yinbing didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her forced buying and selling behavior, but she had to agree. Xue Yao was still angry now, and she would talk to her properly after she calmed down. Everything could be explained, and writing a song was just a small matter.

After finishing the business, Xue Yao went home to rest. She said she would take a vacation and she didn't stay for a moment longer. However, Lu Xia and his wife were not in a hurry. They sat in the office eating oranges, you feed me a bite and I feed you a bite, with sweet taste in their mouths and hearts.

They stayed until almost lunchtime to avoid traffic jams, and rushed out before leaving get off work. They heard people in the company talking about the two of them.

"Mr. Lu hasn't been to the company for a long time. Are you going to get back into the circle this time, or will you focus on being a boss in the future?"

"I'd like to know whether to call him Little General Xia or General Xia in the future. According to this trend, he will also be called Little General Xia. When our studio tells others that we have an artist who has come out, it will be very prestigious."

"Hahahaha you're toxic, but I think so too."

"I used to think that Xiao Xia was acting like a little sheep in front of Mr. Lu, but now it seems like the opposite. Look at the way Xiao Xia touches Mr. Lu's face, it's like he's touching a dog."

"What do you mean by touching a dog? You're obviously touching a cat."

"What's the difference?"

"Yes, touching a dog is touching a pet, and touching a cat is a gift from its owner."

"I give in."

Xia Yitong relied on her sharp hearing and eyesight to relay what she heard to Lu Yinbing. Lu Yinbing was addicted to playing with her, and bent down to let her touch his head: "Come, I will give you a little more alms."

Xia Yitong smiled and cursed, "Psycho."

"You don't love me anymore, and you even called me a psycho." Lu Yinbing said with tears in her eyes.

"I love you, I love you, why are you making such a fuss?" Xia Yitong rubbed her head and dragged her out.

People in the company are still discussing it.

"Who do you think is on top, Mr. Xia or Mr. Lu?"

"I think it's Mr. Lu. Although Mr. Xia looks pretty good now, he is definitely not as good as Mr. Lu."

"I don't think so. Isn't cute contrast popular?"

"They are here, hurry up and get to work."

When Lu Xia and the others passed by the office, they looked inside a few more times. Everyone looked like they were working hard and had no intention of gossiping. Lu Yinbing had clearly walked past and then walked back.

Xia Yitong couldn't stop her, so she just said "hey", and she had to run over.

Lu Yinbing walked into the office, resting her elbows casually on the partition of a cubicle, and looked around the office with her beautiful eyes, making the company employees nervous. Only Xia Yitong's eyes were full of admiration. Lu Yinbing was beautiful no matter what, even this unruly standing posture was extremely beautiful.

Lu Yinbing: "Who was gossiping about me and Boss Xia in there just now?"

The person who just mentioned the change of address lowered his head, his eyes lit up, and he really changed from Xiao General Xia to General Xia. Was he personally acknowledging Xia Yitong's identity as the company's boss's wife

No one said a word.

Lu Yinbing added: "I'm not Mr. Xue. I'm easy to talk to. I'm just asking. If you answer well, I'll give you a bonus."

Still no one spoke.

Lu Yinbing: "I just heard a few people's voices, why don't you speak? I'll ask you to speak later. If I hear you, not only will you not get your bonus, but your salary will also be deducted. I'll give you three seconds. Three, two..."

Before she could count to one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight hands were raised one after another.

Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "Okay, let me ask you a question."

Xia Yitong's scalp tingled, and she had a feeling that Lu Yinbing would probably not ask any serious questions with that kind of smile on his face.

Sure enough, Lu Yinbing said, "Those who think I'm on top, raise your left hand, and those who think President Xia is on top, raise your right hand."

Xia Yitong: “…”

She knew it! But how could an average person say such a thing? Crazy!

Everyone looked at each other and chose their own team. Five people supported Lu Yinbing and three people supported Xia Yitong.

Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "Tell me your names and I will give each of you an extra month's salary."

The few people who were gossiping about their leaders were delighted, having never thought that there would be such a thing as pie in the sky. The only regret was that since both of them were given bonuses, they couldn't guess who would have the upper hand.

However, those employees who behave themselves and do not gossip feel a little aggrieved. Since when can they get bonuses for gossiping about their leaders? Could it be that they are doing something wrong

Xia Yitong saw the expressions of the others and thought to herself that this was not a good thing. She wanted to advise Lu Yinbing privately not to start a bad trend. It was normal for an entertainment company to gossip about something, but the mistake was that they shouldn't talk about the two of them. Other things were fine, but even sex matters were brought up for discussion

Before she could give Lu Yinbing any suggestions, Lu Yinbing said, "As for those who didn't gossip about us, please register your names for me and I will give you two extra months' salary."

Several people looked up in surprise.

Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "You deserve it."

Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that they were being praised and immediately became happy, while the employees who had been proud of having received a month's bonus suddenly looked unhappy.

Lu Yinbing's face suddenly turned cold, and a strong aura naturally emanated from him: "Next time, let me hear you talking about the bed affairs between me and President Xia..."

She snorted heavily, took Xia Yitong's hand and left.

The office was in complete silence. After an unknown amount of time, a girl reached behind her neck and touched the sweat on her back, and whispered, "I'm so scared..."

"Teacher Lu..." In the elevator, Xia Yitong looked at Lu Yinbing and slowly opened her lips.

"Um?"

"I thought you were actually going to reward them."

“I rewarded them.”

"Open praise but implicit criticism," Xia Yitong said, "But why should we give them bonuses? Ten thousand per person, hundreds of thousands."

"I'm happy, it's unreasonable." Lu Yinbing smiled and lowered his head to kiss Xia Yitong on the lips. The elevator dinged and a studio staff member was waiting for the elevator outside the door. He happened to see this scene and called out calmly: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Xia."

Then he passed by the two of them, looking as if he was used to it.

Xia Yitong was originally shy, but when she saw him like this, she was no longer shy. She looked back at him several times and asked, "Does he often see us kissing?"

Lu Yinbing: "I'm sure not."

"Then he—" Xia Yitong hadn't finished her sentence when Lu Yinbing pressed down on her with another kiss, holding her head with both hands and pulling it back, "Everyone has left. If you keep looking at me, I'll be jealous."

Xia Yitong: “…”

This guy is really jealous.

After picking up the car from the parking lot, Lu Yinbing sat in the driver's seat, groaned, touched the steering wheel, and said, "I'm still very happy, what should I do? Let's go buy a house."

Xia Yitong: "... Is this how you rich people spend your time?"

Lu Yinbing said: "I want to buy you a house, and I want to put myself in the house and give it to you."

Xia Yitong: "... You can just give it to yourself."

Lu Yinbing: "Well, it's been a long time since I've seen a woman as simple and unpretentious as you."

Xia Yitong: “…”

Lu Yinbing looked at her expression which suddenly became complicated, and without any hesitation, he said, "The novel that Laiying recommended to me yesterday, The Overbearing CEO."

Xia Yitong felt inexplicably familiar with her current behavior. After careful thought, she found that it was exactly the same as every time she put the blame on Laiying. So her mood became even more complicated. Unknowingly, Lu Yinbing also learned bad things. It was true that "birds of a feather flock together". He learned all kinds of messes.

Lu Yinbing was very happy for a few days, went home and stayed for two days, then returned to the villa and devoted herself to work. Together with Xia Yitong, she began to select scripts from screenwriters from all sides. She chose a suitable one, but Xia Yitong didn't particularly like any of them.

Lu Yinbing's new movie is called "Blind Spot", which talks about many things that are naturally ignored in daily life, including emotions, which can easily lead people to think deeply. Lu Yinbing plays the heroine, an ordinary small town female worker. The story takes place in her home. The storyline is very simple, and the simpler the story, the more it tests the actor's skills.

From finalizing the script to forming the cast, the crew was very low-key when starting filming. They didn't even invite media reporters. They just quietly picked an auspicious day to start filming.

The final makeup photos were posted on the official Weibo account, and initially only a few people left comments.

Why does this heroine look so familiar? Lu Yinbing

What Lu Yinbing? He should be an actor that Director Cheng specially found to look like Lu Shen. Just like xx before, his face looks like three or four stars.

This guy only looks like Lu Shen. Could they be twins who have been separated for many years

This is your army unit. Let's see if it looks like it.

"It's your army unit" has been a fan of Lu Yinbing for more than ten years. Not to mention just a change of style, she can see the whole face, even if only the eyes are exposed, she can recognize it!

It's your army. They immediately reposted the official Weibo and mentioned Lu Yinbing herself, and mobilized the fans in the Weibo fan group to leave messages under Lu Yinbing's Weibo, asking if it was her. Lu Yinbing's fans have been chasing stars in the past two years since she retired from the entertainment circle. Every day, they lick Lu Yinbing's old posters and watch her old movies. Except when Lu Yinbing was pulled out to hype her up, they turned into wolves. At other times, they were as quiet as chickens. As soon as they heard the news that she seemed to have returned to the entertainment circle, they immediately came out in full force and flocked to Lu Yinbing's Weibo.

On the first day of official filming, Lu Yinbing passed the first take smoothly without any problems with her lines. She then asked Xiaoxi to help her repost the official Weibo post, officially confirming the rumors of her return to the circle, and it topped the hot search list that day.

She retired from the entertainment industry so suddenly, and returned so quietly, as if she had never been away.

Passersby congratulated him, and fans were full of enthusiasm. In addition to reposting and winning prizes, they also promoted Lu Yinbing's new movie, although it was obvious that this movie was not intended to be a box office hit. Lu Yinbing chose this movie as a transition to regain his confidence and prepare for the next movie.

Lu Yinbing announced her retirement from the entertainment industry in October last year, and took on a new drama in June this year. Some people found fault with her and said it was for hype, but she was scolded back by fans and passers-by. Strictly speaking, Lu Yinbing has not taken on any drama in nearly three years. They have all been waiting for a long time, and she has finally returned. But there are still people who come to criticize her, and she will beat up anyone who criticizes her, without any ambiguity.

Compared to the news that Lu Yinbing is returning to the entertainment industry to take on a new drama, some gossipy netizens are obviously more concerned about another thing.

At noon that day, less than three minutes after Lu Yinbing reposted the Weibo, Xia Yitong left a message below with a [heart] emoji. You should know that the previous Weibo post was Lu Yinbing's notice of quitting the circle, and there was no movement in between. If it wasn't for receiving a private notice, who would rush over so promptly, and rush over and just make a heart. What do you want to do? Is it okay to confess openly

What? It could also be special attention. I don't want to hear it. It's just a dog chanting. She is a big star. Why would she give special attention to others? They are not the ones who are very important to her!

What? She said that Lu Yinbing is her idol that she has liked for many years, so she set a special attention? I don’t want to hear that, it’s just a bunch of nonsense. She also said that she likes actor Huang very much, but I haven’t seen her jumping around on his Weibo, appearing in seconds, and making a heart with her hands. That’s a heart!

What? Maybe it's a coincidence? I don't want to hear it, you keep saying it. Are you guys discriminating against homosexuals? Why can't you see them getting along? They are obviously husband and wife, but you insist on saying they are good sisters.

It's not the good sisters you mentioned, it's the studio that said that? In this day and age, can you still trust what the studio says? The studio is there to serve the artists, they can turn black into white and white into flowers. Can the studio publicly admit this kind of relationship? Do you still want to stay in the industry? You have to use your own sharp eyes to see things like this, okay

Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. People with different ideals cannot work together. I love my CP, and you love your sisters.

That night, among the countless reposts from people in the circle, Lu Yinbing responded to Xia Yitong's post alone, also showing three hearts. The brain-filling emperors, truth emperors and various emperors on the gossip forum analyzed the three hearts into hundreds of meanings.

Laiying called overnight. Lu Yinbing had finished work and was video chatting with Xia Yitong in the hotel. He answered the call without avoiding Xia Yitong, but was very foresighted enough to hold the phone farther away first.

As expected, Lai Ying's roaring voice came over: "Why do you only give a heart to Xia Yitong and not to me!"

"It's not enough that you have your husband's heart, why do you need my heart?" Lu Yinbing said, turning on the speaker and putting the phone on the microphone of the tablet.

"My husband is not around, I don't care, but you still have to show me some respect. You are inhuman." Laiying condemned her.

"Compare, compare, compare." Lu Yinbing took out his phone and logged into Weibo, and made a heart shape to Laiying as well. Laiying had just finished filming a while ago and was free at the moment. After groaning for a while, he said earnestly, "Aren't you two too bold? Just make a heart shape like that?"

Lu Yinbing was amused: "What's wrong with making a heart shape? Even if we are just ordinary friends, we can still make a heart shape. If we are really so nervous every day, I think we can't live like this anymore."

"That's what I said," Laiying said, "but if you look at the gossip forums, your two interactions are basically posted on the front page for two days. Isn't that a bit too ostentatious?"

"I don't watch that kind of stuff," Xia Yitong in the video shook her head. Lu Yinbing said, "Xia Yitong doesn't watch it either. Gossiping doesn't have any impact on us."

"Okay," Laiying sighed and said, "I don't mind if you make a heart shape with your hands to distract me when you confess your feelings. It would be best if you make more than Xia Yitong."

Lu Yinbing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send you a long Weibo post tomorrow to thank you individually and greatly divert your attention."

"You're crazy." Laiying hung up the phone.

Xia Yitong heard it, and after the two of them finished chatting, she looked at Lu Yinbing with some dissatisfaction and said, "Are you really going to post a long Weibo post to thank her?"

"Ah." Lu Yinbing wanted to tease her, so he agreed and said, "Do you want it? I'll write one for you, too?"

Of course Xia Yitong wanted it, but she still refused: "I... don't want it anymore, it's quite dangerous." But Lu Yinbing wrote it to Laiying alone, and she was a little jealous. Lu Yinbing looked at her tense jaw for a long time and laughed out loud.

She believed this casual lie. Lu Yinbing lay on the bed and said with a smile, "Why are you so easy to deceive? If I sell you in the future, you will have to help me count the money."

Before Lu Yinbing finished laughing, the screen of the tablet went black, the sound disappeared, and the video was still showing as connecting - Xia Yitong turned the camera on the screen upside down.

Lu Yinbing: "I was wrong."

She admitted her mistakes fluently, and it was obvious that this was not her first time. Xia Yitong was very irritable now, and she would not let her watch if she disagreed with him, but Lu Yinbing loved her for this, and loved her more and more.

Lu Yinbing frowned. Could it be that she had awakened some strange tendency

She suddenly thought of the candles, whips, canes, subcutaneous nerve stimulators, and those weird tricks Xia Yitong had introduced to her last time...

It’s all Laiying’s fault!
