Of course, from time to time you need to feed someone who has worked so hard to prepare dinner. Sometimes it’s apples, sometimes it’s pears, sometimes it’s cherry tomatoes, and sometimes it’s yourself.
How to kiss while running, and kiss well and steadily, this is the small goal that Xia Yitong wants to achieve in the next stage. Before she set this goal, Lu Yinbing had already mastered it.
"Why do you exercise as soon as you get up?" Xia Yitong stuffed the last piece of pear into his mouth.
Lu Yinbing had reached the distance he had set, so he turned off the treadmill and got off. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, neck, and arms, and replied, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so I might as well stretch my muscles."
As she spoke, she turned her neck and the bones made a crackling sound.
Xia Yitong stared at her, then suddenly lowered his head, with the corners of his lips raised, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a short rest, Lu Yinbing stood in the mechanical training area and used a puller to exercise his upper limb strength. The muscle lines of his arms were smooth and beautiful after years of exercise, and they shone with a healthy luster under the lights.
Xia Yitong said: "I'll go change my clothes and practice for a while."
She was wearing a nightgown with nothing but underwear underneath, so she certainly couldn't exercise like this. It was true that she didn't mind running naked in front of Lu Yinbing, but she cared about efficiency.
Xia Yitong came back ten minutes later. Lu Yinbing had already finished five sets and was drinking water.
Xia Yitong silently chose the exercise she had just finished. Lu Yinbing watched from the side. It was fine when she stood still, but once she moved, she could see the difference. Xia Yitong's arm curves were much stronger than hers. There was a reason for this. In Lu Yinbing's last movie, she played the daughter of an ordinary family. She was thin and frail. Before joining the crew, she deliberately reduced her gym time and lost some weight. After the filming was finished, she gradually resumed her previous exercise amount and is now at her usual level. Xia Yitong was different. She was acting in an action-oriented crime film. Not only did she increase her training several times more than usual, she also learned close combat. She spent several days shooting a fight scene with Cen Xi on the crew. The effect on her body shape was obvious.
Lu Yinbing observed with mixed feelings.
Does Xia Yitong mean to compete with her
"The waves behind push the waves in front. Are you trying to knock me down on the beach?" Lu Yinbing picked up a dumbbell and raised it.
"I just wanted to show you that your wife's arms are stronger now, and you can rely on me without worry." Xia Yitong said with a smile, "You completely misunderstood what I meant."
"Okay. But I don't like too many muscles. If you continue to train as intensely as you did on the crew, you will develop in the direction of European and American bodybuilding." Lu Yinbing felt that he needed to remind Xia Yitong, who was already a little bit arrogant.
"ah?"
As expected, Xia Yitong didn't realize it until she looked in the mirror and found that she had that tendency.
In the next ten minutes, Xia Yitong took a comprehensive look at her body and decided to call her coach tomorrow to re-plan her fitness plan.
I just take a short walk in the evening to let my body sweat and feel comfortable. That’s all.
The two of them went back and took a shower together. Last night, no, this morning, they were in a hurry to go to bed and didn't wash their hair. Even the shower was taken at a rapid pace. In the evening, they finally had time to take a good bath. They filled the bathtub, which was big enough for two people, with water, and the two of them lay in it together, finally overlapping each other.
Lu Yinbing was supported by Xia Yitong's armpits from below, and his whole body was floating on the water. His eyes were slightly closed and he was yawning lazily, looking like he could fall asleep at any time.
Xia Yitong was worried for a while at first, but later she realized that she was just doing a certain action at a certain moment to show her respect for this moment. For example, now, when taking a bath, you should close your eyes and enjoy it, and yawn from time to time, even if you are not sleepy at all.
The above are Lu Yinbing’s original words.
But she forgot that yawning would not only affect herself, making her slowly feel sleepy even if she wasn't sleepy, but it was also contagious. Xia Yitong's eyelids began to twitch as she listened to her yawning.
In the end, the back of her neck lay on the edge of the bathtub for too long and slid down. Xia Yiting woke up with a start, and the tragedy of "two famous actresses drowning in the bathtub" was avoided.
The chaotic day, in which they couldn't distinguish between day and night, ended with them rushing back to bed to sleep. At seven o'clock the next morning, they woke up together, and their brains, which had been in a state of confusion for the whole day, finally returned to normal.
The two checked their schedules while eating breakfast. Xia Yitong had just finished filming and had a month's vacation. Lu Yinbing had a few announcements scheduled for this month, next month, and the month after. There was no work scheduled for three months later. Overall, it was quite free and in a state of long vacation. Lu Yinbing did not plan to take on any new movies this year, and would use the time to take care of his own personal affairs, the most important of which was to accompany Xia Yitong.
Compared to the previous two years, they have been together for a long time, but it is still not enough. Lu Yinbing doesn't know whether she is getting younger or more mature. The fighting spirit of her youth is still there, but there are more and more ties. Such ties will no longer make her feel at a loss, but make her happier. She has a lover and wants to have two children.
And this matter can finally be officially put on the agenda along with Xia Yitong's matter, but this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. Lu Yinbing asked her friends abroad to consult for her first, and she took Xia Yitong out to play first.
First, I went back to the Lu family, had a meal, and stayed overnight. Xia Yitong said she wanted to go skiing, and asked if she wanted to go to the artificial ski resort in Beijing, but she was afraid that she would be discovered by the crowds. After that, Lu Yinbing was silent, and took an international flight directly to the Alps.
Although Xia Yitong has been rich for a long time, he has never experienced the life of rich people who fly to Europe just for skiing. When he boarded the international flight, he looked at Lu Yinbing with emotion.
In her opinion, skiing in an artificial ski resort or skiing in the Alps is the same as skiing. However, standing on a real snowy mountain, looking around at the vast expanse of white, with Lu Yinbing beside her as the only strong touch of color in the world, is really different.
The cold wind was howling. Xia Yitong, wearing a professional ski suit and fully equipped, closed her eyes quietly.
Lu Yinbing took a photo of her, and after a long while he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Yitong opened her eyes and smiled sweetly: "It's good to have money."
Lu Yinbing: "… Such a pure and unpretentious idea."
Xia Yitong kissed her on the face quickly and said something. Before Lu Yinbing could react, she had already slid down the snow track skillfully and jumped out more than ten or twenty meters in the blink of an eye.
Her words also dissipated in the air, but how could Lu Yinbing not hear them? What she said was: It’s so good to have you.
Lu Yinbing smiled softly, touched the place on her cheek where she had been kissed, and chased after him.
The two of them were very skilled, jumping and hopping on the snowy trail, forming two beautiful silhouettes, which were obviously practiced. Lu Yinbing was a sports expert, and sometimes she would choose to go skiing to relax, not just in winter, but she was a little surprised that Xia Yitong was so skilled.
"Before I became famous, I often went to the ski resort with that guy, and I learned it." When the two of them stopped to rest, Xia Yitong took the initiative to answer her questions. The two of them knew who that guy was, but Xia Yitong didn't say it, and Lu Yinbing didn't ask. It was Dong Yafei.
There was no sympathy or hatred, but Xia Yitong was still stunned for a moment. Dong Yafei was sent to the police station for causing serious injuries to Lu Yinbing and was sentenced to five years. Now according to the sentence, there are still two years left. I don’t know if there will be a reduction in sentence and early release. She has been secretly taking care of Dong Yafei’s mother in the past few years, but she has never visited her once, and she doesn’t want to have anything to do with her family anymore.
"I fell many times in the beginning. It's just like learning to ride a bike. You'll get the hang of it after falling a few times." Xia Yitong didn't let herself get lost in her emotions and quickly shifted the focus to the topic being discussed.
"Then why have I never fallen when I practiced skiing?" Lu Yinbing said with pride.
"Nothing to talk about." Xia Yitong said with a smile, "Have you ever fallen while practicing cycling?"
Lu Yinbing hesitated and said, "Well, I have fallen before."
Xia Yitong said, "Then we can share our experience of learning to ride a bicycle. When my parents were still alive, they bought me a small children's bicycle with four wheels. In addition to the normal front and rear wheels, there were two wheels next to the rear wheel to ensure that the child would not fall. I learned to ride with four wheels for a while, and asked my father to remove one. Then I learned to ride with three wheels, and then two wheels. When I was learning to ride with two wheels, I fell into a ditch. My knees were swollen, bruised and scabbed. Going up and down the stairs was like a death sentence. I screamed all day long. During that time, my mother gave me candy every day to coax me, and my teeth were decayed from it."
Perhaps it was because the short six years of her parents' healthy life were so precious that Xia Yitong remembered them clearly, but these things seemed too long ago to Lu Yinbing. She recalled for a long time before she captured a fragment of the picture from the depths of her distant memory: "I remember that I bought a bicycle after I graduated from kindergarten. I forgot the brand, it was pink, and I named it Ferrari or Porsche. I learned to ride a bicycle in my own yard, with a group of people following me, my cousins. Didn't I tell you that I live with my mother, so there are no cousins from my father's side. They were holding the back seat of the bicycle, and I was riding in the front. It seems that one time I rode out of the house, and there was a downhill road in the community. I relied on someone to support me from behind, so I didn't press the brake, but I didn't know that they had secretly let go of their hands..."
Xia Yitong could almost imagine what was going to happen next and started laughing.
Lu Yinbing said: "How can I describe the feeling at that time? It was just a gust of wind. Before I could react, I fell heavily to the ground. The bicycle was one meter away from me."
"What happened next?" Xia Yitong asked, trying not to laugh. She also wanted to hug Lu Yinbing when she was a child, but that didn't stop her from laughing freely today, more than 20 years later.
"Later, I went home, and they each gave me their favorite thing at the time as an apology gift." Lu Yinbing said, "That's it, I forgot what it was, but there was a complete set of Conan comics that Liucheng gave me. I saw it when I was tidying up the storage room at home in college, and I asked my mom about it. My mom told me about my childhood. What I just said was what my mom told me."
"It's a comic about an elementary school student who loves death." Xia Yitong sighed.
Lu Yinbing: "Why do you want it? It was the latest edition at the time, and it's probably out of print now. I can give it to you as a collection, but it's basically not worth reading."
"Why?"
"Liu Cheng circled all the murderers at the beginning, and she used a red pen." Lu Yinbing thought with his chin in his hand, "So I guess I beat her up when I was a child. I haven't thrown it away yet. I'll give you the book when I get back?"
"No, I'm just reminiscing about my childhood." Xia Yitong smiled and felt sympathy for Liu Cheng in her heart. It seemed that Lu Yinbing's character has been the same since childhood, from a bully to an adult.
Fortunately, she has such a good family background, such good parents, and such good brothers and sisters. If she had any of those things missing, there wouldn't be the arrogant, high-spirited, and deeply in love Lu Yinbing she is now.
Xia Yitong sighed again.
"Why are you sighing again?"
"Thinking about you." Xia Yitong said.
"You sigh when you miss me? What's the logic?"
"nothing."
Lu Yinbing: "Hey, I find that you are getting more and more impatient with me. I haven't even said a few words, but you sigh and say, "Don't you love me anymore? Do you have another dog outside?" You don't talk anymore. You've lost interest in me... Hmm."
When faced with Lu's nagging, Xia Yitong could only silence her chattering mouth with a kiss, so that she could quietly look back on her not-so-long half-life under the deep blue sky, and be grateful for having met the man next to her.
Xia Yitong let go of Lu Yinbing. Lu Yinbing smiled like a mouse that had successfully stolen some fish. It had been a long time since he had been forced to kiss her. He really missed it a little.
Xia Yitong put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture to her.
Hush, be quiet.
Silence, Lu Yinbing knew it. She held Xia Yitong's hand and slowly fell back. They just lay in the snow, looking at the clear blue sky above their heads. No one spoke.
It was not until the staff came over to ask them politely that the two got up, brushed off the snow on their bodies, smiled at each other, and went to another area to start skiing again.
When they returned to their accommodation at night, Lu Yinbing acted like the overbearing Mr. Lu again and asked her where else she wanted to go.
Xia Yitong said she wanted to stay here for a few days, so she stayed for a few days and returned to China two days before Lu Yinbing's next announcement. Shooting an advertisement, including the beginning and the end, takes about a day.
Xia Yitong did nothing that day, just stayed at home waiting for Lu Yinbing to come back. When it was almost dark, Lu Yinbing came home, with his right hand behind his back, smiling: "Guess what this is?"
"I can't guess."
"Take a guess."
"sugar?"
"no."
"Book?"
"almost."
"Fashion magazine? Is it the cover shoot we took last time? Is the sample issue out?"
Lu Yinbing reached back to the front and handed her the "V" magazine photo she took two months ago. He sat on the sofa next to her and said, "Do you have X-ray vision? Can you guess this?"
"I'm not guessing, I'm making a reasonable guess. The thing you asked me to guess must be something I'm interested in. Apart from you, there's basically nothing else I'm interested in. The only things I'm slightly interested in are candies and books. As for books, I haven't said which one I particularly want to read recently. The only thing similar to this is magazines. I said more than two months ago that I wanted to see the cover of your magazine."
Reading was not originally Xia Yitong's hobby, but after being influenced by Lu Yinbing, she became as good as Lu Yinbing. The two of them could stay in the study room for a whole day with a book in their arms, without saying a word.
Lu Yinbing was amazed, and pressed her shoulder, saying with relief: "When you stop being an actor, you can become a detective. Otherwise, it would be a waste of your talent."
Xia Yitong couldn't wait to remove the plastic cover. Her fingers stroked the picture of Lu Yinbing on the cover. She smiled softly when she heard the words, raised her eyes and looked at her, saying, "What kind of talent do you have? I can only guess what's in your heart."
Lu Yinbing has been a skilled lover for many years - although it's only in the movies - and is considered experienced. He has also experienced the fatal blow of Xia Yitong's "I am not a variable, I am the eternal constant in your future life" during a late-night video call. However, at this dusk when the lights were on and there was still light faintly in the sky, he was still touched by these love words and forgot words again.
