Lu Yinbing looked at the watch on his wrist for the third time.
It was 3:00 pm Beijing time, and the plane was expected to arrive at 3:30. It was already starting to land. The huge wing was passing through the clouds.
Lu Yinbing sneered for no reason.
Xia Yitong held her wrist and said, "Calm down."
"I'm very calm." Lu Yinbing looked at her with a smile.
Xia Yitong: “…”
Lu Yinbing was now too lazy to even conceal his murderous intent.
Xia Yitong looked around to see if there was anyone around, so he leaned over and kissed her on the corner of her lips: "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"I'm not angry." Lu Yinbing said, "I'm just curious, very curious, why has our Lu Xia become like this after two years in kindergarten?" Where is the promise of being aloof and looking down on everyone but you stupid mortals? She bullies other children every day, either snatching lollipops or cotton candy, and using her beauty to bully others. The children in the kindergarten are obedient. If the teacher hadn't let the cat out of the bag, who knows how long this would have continued.
"Calm down."
"I'm very calm, really. We're about to land, let's discuss this issue when we get home." Lu Yinbing stopped her from talking.
Xia Yitong bit her lower lip lightly and said nothing more.
No matter what, Xia Yitong had to admit that she was not as qualified as Lu Yinbing in educating children. Unlike her vague idea that she should make the children happy and healthy, Lu Yinbing had her own systematic educational methods, which were quite effective whether she had been influenced by them since childhood or had read educational books in those years.
In this regard, Xia Yitong always obeys her.
The plane landed a few minutes early, and the two had been waiting for an hour to get their luggage. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and the sky was still bright in the capital city which had already entered summer. There were more and more people in the terminal every year. The two were dressed casually, wearing masks, and pushed the bulky luggage carts towards the exit of the terminal.
Lu Yinbing has been out of the circle for a whole year. The only time she was seen by a passerby was about half a year ago. But a short year will not make her lose her intuition after years of being in the industry.
There was a small commotion ahead.
Alarm bells rang in Lu Yinbing's mind: "Run!"
The two men pushed the luggage cart and ran as fast as they could.
Run... Of course I didn't run. I saw media reporters holding various tools surrounding me from all directions in the huge airport. Passersby and fans stopped moving, then fell silent and burst into crazy screams.
“Lu Yinbing ahhhh!”
“Ahhhhh Xia Yitong!!!”
"I love you all!!!!"
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Several reporters standing on the periphery were infected by the atmosphere and almost screamed. Fortunately, their professional ethics stopped them. They were here to interview gossips, not to chase stars!
As for chasing stars, there’s still time to do so after you’ve asked about the gossip. You must grab a good seat, maybe you can even get an autograph.
Amid the high-pitched sound waves, Lu Yinbing coldly blocked the luggage cart in front of himself and Xia Yitong, and scanned all around, looking for a gap to break through.
As for the luggage... Lu Yinbing sent a message to Xiaoxi, asking her to come over and help her get it.
Lu Yinbing held Xia Yitong's hand, and they didn't know which way to go, either left or right. Instead, this action made the fans outside even more excited, and they shouted random slogans like "Lu Xia I support you all my life" and "Lu Xia has you in my life".
The two of them were surrounded so tightly that if Lu Yinbing had a table nearby, she could have broken it with one hand.
Her patience had its limits, and as she grew older, it became lower and lower.
But those reporters were afraid of her. They looked at each other and didn't dare to come forward.
Lu Yinbing was extremely annoyed. He took a deep breath and summoned up his last bit of patience. "What do you want to ask? Hurry up."
Opportunities are rare and never come again. The reporters did not have time to look at each other and rushed forward. Lu Yinbing still used the luggage cart as a shield. Five seconds later, a petite female reporter rushed to the front of the crowd, stood on tiptoe and put the recorder in her hand to Lu Yinbing's lips, panting and asking, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with Xia Yitong?"
This issue has troubled them for several years, from the initial ambiguity, Schrödinger's coming out, to the almost obvious confession on the Cannes Film Festival awards stage, but they have never received a positive response from the person involved.
It's also very hard for her to be a media person and a CP fan, okay
"May I ask what is your relationship with Xia Yitong?" "It is said that you like Xia Yitong. Is this true?" "Did you and Xia Yitong fall in love over time?" "Director Qin revealed that the play "Breaking Snow" brought you two together. Does this relationship refer to love?"
Lu Yinbing had heard at least 800 questions like these in the past few years. Looking at their faces scratching their heads and "eager to learn", Lu Yinbing finally decided to show some mercy.
Lu Yinbing casually pushed the luggage cart aside, and the crowd in that direction retreated a little.
Everyone at the scene: “???”
Lu Yinbing turned her neck and loosened the collar of her shirt, as if she was feeling hot and stuffy in the crowded crowd. The people present moved away a little, leaving her, Xia Yitong and the female reporter in a relatively spacious space.
Lu Yinbing raised the corners of his lips jokingly, looking at the female reporter who seemed to be eagerly waiting for an answer but was actually prepared to get nothing today, and said happily: "What do you think our relationship is?"
The female reporter was caught off guard by her and was stunned: "Ah?"
"Just this kind of relationship," Lu Yinbing looked at her deeply, reached out and grabbed Xia Yitong's collar, supported her neck with one hand, and put his other hand around her waist, lowered his head, and kissed the other on the lips under Xia Yitong's astonished gaze.
Everyone at the scene: “???”
Everyone at the scene: “…”
Everyone at the scene: “!!!”
Under everyone's stunned gaze, Lu Yinbing hooked the finger that was originally on Xia Yitong's neck forward, and a necklace with a ring hanging on it was pulled out from Xia Yitong's collar, drawing a dazzling light in front of everyone's eyes. Lu Yinbing held the sparkling ring in her hand, and the wedding ring on her right ring finger, which had never been taken off, matched it brilliantly.
"Please leave someone to look after my luggage. Someone will come to pick it up later."
Lu Yinbing laughed loudly, and when everyone was not paying attention, he pushed away the crowd in front of him with one hand, took Xia Yitong in his arms and walked away. When the reporters came to their senses, the two had already run dozens of meters away.
Airport security guards rushed forward and separated the chasing reporters from the crowd.
After getting in the car, Lu Yinbing continued to laugh for a long time, holding his stomach and said, "Hey, guess what the media will write about us tomorrow, no, tonight?"
"Just coming out...ah." Xia Yitong had not yet recovered from the thrill of the moment. How could Lu Yinbing be so bold as to come out openly in such a crowded place.
But it’s really a different feeling.
"After so many years, the goods are finally sold at a fair price, without skirting the rules." Xia Yitong said with emotion. A vague impression flashed through her mind, as if Lu Yinbing had described this scene to her a long time ago, but it was so long ago that she really couldn't remember it.
"The only pity is that Aunt Xue has no hair left for me to lose." Lu Yinbing said regretfully.
Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that Xue's mother is bald early. A year ago, the day after Lu Yinbing won the award, Xue Yao formally submitted her resignation request to Lu Yinbing, and stated very seriously the reasons why she could no longer work in the company, including both personal and professional aspects. Lu Yinbing agreed after repeated consideration. The studio has always been run in a self-contained system. Having Xue Yao will be icing on the cake, and having Xue Yao less will not be a big loss. Moreover, Xue Yao retired from the position of general manager a few years ago and is only responsible for the agency department. Now Lu Yinbing has switched to being a director, and Xia Yitong is also semi-retired from the entertainment industry. She may not take on a new play in a year. It is a bit difficult to tie Xue Yao to the company.
So Lu Yinbing waved her hand and approved, letting Xue Yao go back to live with Su Han. She told Xue Yao that she would keep her original office in the company forever, but Xue Yao refused. The past will be the past, and memories are not recorded by these materials, but by the hearts that care about each other. It is strange that after Xue Yao resigned, she brought Su Han to visit more frequently. Whether Lu Yinbing was at home or not, the two of them would buy a bunch of vegetables to have a meal from time to time. They said goodbye to the stage of agent and artist, and established a closer relationship between the two families.
Lu Yinbing is returning to China today. Xue Yao and Su Han will not forget to welcome her. They plan to meet her at a restaurant outside, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Lu Yinbing is anxious to go home and educate her daughter, so they set the meeting place at home.
We met Su Han and his wife at the entrance of the community. They were carrying two large bags of vegetables. Xia Yitong stepped forward and took a part of it. After saying this, the group walked home.
Lu Yinbing himself didn't remember how many times he had checked the time today. It was exactly six o'clock in the evening, and the driver had already picked up the two children from the kindergarten. When the door opened, the children sitting on the sofa watching TV all looked over, and then lowered their heads at the same time.
Lu Yinbing held the entrance with one hand, bent down to put on slippers, and sat down next to the two children without saying a word.
Xia Yitong called Su Han and his wife into the kitchen and closed the door.
Su Han turned his head back and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"They got into trouble. Teacher Lu will teach them a lesson." Xia Yitong said briefly, "We'll just do our own thing."
The living room was silent, with only the sound of cartoons on TV surrounding my ears.
The two kids looked at each other, neither of them said anything. Lu Yinbing picked up the remote control on the table, pressed the pause button, and threw it on the sofa next to him. "Tell me, who beat Liu Tianpeng from the next class and made him cry? Why?"
Lu Xia bravely admitted her mistake: "It was me, for the colorful cotton candy."
"A piece of colorful marshmallow makes you so greedy?" Lu Yinbing looked at her in disbelief. Did her daughter have a genetic mutation
Xia Lu, who was standing by, swallowed when he heard this.
How could Lu Yinbing, who was good at observation, not notice her little action, so he asked: "Who is it?"
Xia Lu raised her little head: "Mommy, it's..."
Lu Xia: “Ahem!”
Lu Yinbing looked at Lu Xia. How old was this kid, and he knew how to interrupt others by coughing?
Xia Lu stopped talking.
Lu Yinbing pointed at Lu Xia and said, "Go to mom in the kitchen."
Lu Xia: “…”
Before leaving, Lu Xia looked back at Xia Lu worriedly. Lu Yinbing stood directly in front of Xia Lu, blocking her entire view.
Without Lu Xia, Xia Lu couldn't fight for even a second. She told the truth without Lu Yinbing's coercion or bribery: she was the one who wanted to eat the marshmallow, and it was Lu Xia who beat Liu Tianpeng and made him cry. The reason she beat Liu Tianpeng was not because she wanted to steal his marshmallow, but because he wrote a love letter to her, which was seen by her sister Lu Xia. Her sister was very angry, so she beat him up. In order not to dirty the marshmallow, she snatched it away and ate it directly in Xia Lu's hand.
"Love letter?" Lu Yinbing almost bit her tongue.
"Yes, it was a house with two people in it, a man with his name written on it, a woman with my name written on it, and a baby. My sister said he was a hooligan and told me to stay away from him." Xia Lu said, "But the cotton candy he bought was delicious. I want to ask him where he bought it."
Lu Yinbing: “…”
Xia Yitong, who had always been praised as a great children's educator, was a little helpless this time. Isn't it a bit scary for kindergarten children to fall in love? Finally, she touched Xia Lu's head and said, "... Your sister is right. You should listen to her more in the future."
Lu Xia should be more mature and help this naive daughter a little in school when she can't take care of herself...
Xia Lu nodded vigorously: "I always listen to my sister." She hesitated for a moment, "Then my marshmallow..."
"I'll take you to find a better place."
Xia Lu became happy and no longer had any doubts, "I'm going to find my sister."
The two children ran away, leaving Lu Yinbing sitting alone on the sofa, covering her face with her hands. What should she do? Her children were only five years old, and she began to imagine them growing up, starting their own families, and flying off to their own worlds. The strong reluctance to leave was like a rising tide, and the bitterness filled her heart in advance.
Dinner was a distraction, and her little girl got love letters, a love letter, a small house, a family of three, and she wanted to beat up that rogue punk.
Su Han and his wife did not stay long and went back after dinner. The children were very well behaved and did not disturb their mommy and mommy. Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong went to bed very early.
Lu Yinbing sighed.
"This is the fourth time," Xia Yitong propped up her chin with one hand and looked at her, "Honey, can I know what happened?"
Lu Yinbing sighed again, and told her the facts she heard from Xia Lu with a sad face, as if the next moment she would wipe away her tears and hold the child's hand and hand her over to another person.
Xia Yitong was silent for a while: "...Are you acting a little too much?"
Lu Yinbing was startled, and buried his face in her chest, pretending to cry and complain: "You dislike me, you actually think I'm too dramatic, I, Lu Xiaodingdang, will travel around the world with my child today."
"I have changed my name to Sihai now, thank you." Xia Yitong said.
“…It’s boring.” Lu Yinbing raised his head from her arms, without a trace of tears on his face.
"Really, I think it's okay for a child to receive a love letter in kindergarten. As long as she doesn't have that idea, it means she is pretty. Pretty children always have more troubles in this regard." Xia Yitong said, "By the way, did you receive a love letter when you were a child?"
"This..." Lu Yinbing frowned and said, "I don't remember, I guess there is. I remember when I was a child, my mother told me many times that I should take relationships seriously and not fall in love so early."
"So I got a bargain?"
"Um?"
"You had your first love at the age of 27." Xia Yitong pointed her finger at Lu Yinbing's chest.
Lu Yinbing clicked his tongue.
Xia Yitong said dissatisfiedly: "Why, do you feel you have lost out?"
"No, no," Lu Yinbing smiled and grabbed Xia Yitong's claws that had begun to tickle her, "I was just expressing my feelings. We have been together for eleven years. I felt like you knocked on my door yesterday and I slammed it shut. By the way, I always forgot to ask you, what did you want to tell me that day?"
"It's nothing, I just want to introduce myself to you. I'm Xia Yitong, and I've liked you for many years." Xia Yitong had a smile on her lips. She felt embarrassed for some reason, so she lowered her eyes.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of the transparent glass bottle standing quietly on the bedside table, and I couldn't help but smile again.
"Oh." Lu Yinbing said, "So that's how it is. If I had known that you would be my future wife, I would have welcomed you into the room right then and there."
Xia Yitong raised half of her body, stretched out her hand, and scooped up the wishing bottle. She gently touched the bottle, which had been stained with traces of time after more than ten years, with her fingers, and her eyes were tender.
"Have I ever told you that this contains my secret?"
