The four people present were all silent.
Xiaoxi was there on the day she took the bottle, but she didn't know that the bottle fell under the cabinet. It was just a small bottle, and she didn't see it in Lu Yinbing's room, so she didn't take it seriously. Even if she took it seriously, she wouldn't suspect that it was lost but Lu Yinbing put it somewhere else. When the customer service waiter said there was a small bottle under the cabinet, she was confused, but she couldn't question her boss, so she could only bury the many questions in her heart in confusion.
Fang Hui knew how important the bottle was to Xia Yitong. She had been with her for two years, and Xia Yitong always carried it with her wherever she went. It had almost become an instinctive habit. She was not Lu Yinbing's subordinate, so she naturally did not hide her dissatisfaction with Lu Yinbing. Are you just going to throw away something that others cherish so much
Since she lost the bottle last time, Lu Yinbing almost remembered it several times, but was always interrupted by something. In addition, Xia Yitong was sick and she had to film a movie, so she finished work very late at night and had no extra time to check if something was missing. Although Lu Yinbing did not do it unintentionally, she could not deny her fault in this matter.
As for Xia Yitong
Xia Yitong...kept a gentle smile on her face, and her gaze on Lu Yinbing, which she had always paid intermittent attention to, disappeared. She waited quietly, waiting for the "judgment" that the room attendant was about to bring.
Lu Yinbing stood up from the sofa, walked to her side, stood there guiltily, his eyes looking at the elevator next to them.
Less than two minutes later, an aunt in uniform came out of the elevator door with something in her hand.
—There was a small bottle with a blue ribbon tied around the mouth and folded paper stars inside.
When it was given away, it was still clean and spotless. When it was taken back, the bottle was simply wiped and no longer had its former luster. The blue ribbon was stained with a layer of dust that could not be wiped off.
Xia Yitong flicked her hand to wipe away the dust on it, looked up and said to the front desk: "It is indeed mine. It is very important to me. Thank you for helping me find it." After a pause, she said, "Thank you."
Lu Yinbing felt even more uneasy, and at the same time, she felt a sense of uneasiness that she had never felt before.
Xia Yitong handed the bottle to Fang Wei and told her to put it in her bag. Fang Wei responded heavily, not knowing who she was talking to: "I will keep it well and will never lose it again!"
Lu Yinbing said: "Xia Yitong, I am not—"
Xia Yitong interrupted her politely: "It's getting late, let's go to the set. I felt a little dizzy when I spoke just now. Sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't hear you clearly. What did you say?"
Lu Yinbing looked at her carefully: "Are you angry?"
"How could that be? I didn't." Xia Yitong looked at her with a friendly smile, and thought indifferently in her heart: "What right do I have to be angry? It's just a bottle. Even a child can fold it into stars. She thought it was fun that day, so she wanted to take it. Now she thinks it's not fun anymore, so she just throws it away."
Her hands were tense, and she stood straighter than usual. There was no smile in her eyes. Lu Yinbing read resistance from her posture. She moved her mind and tried to grab her arm. Xia Yitong subconsciously dodged for a moment. After dodging, Xia Yitong stared at Lu Yinbing's hand in a daze, as if she couldn't believe that she would actively avoid Lu Yinbing's touch.
The last time she suddenly distanced herself from Lu Yinbing, it was out of her rational thinking. If Lu Yinbing had touched her at that time, the two of them would have reconciled long ago. This time was different. Her body chose to reject him without thinking.
She instinctively rejected Lu Yinbing... Before this morning, Xia Yitong would have thought this was a fantasy. But now, just now, it actually happened.
When their eyes met, Lu Yinbing said affirmatively: "You are angry."
So what? Everyone is a person, everyone has a heart, don't I have the right to be angry? It was you who threw the bottle away, it was you who did something wrong, why do you still talk to me so condescendingly
Xia Yitong felt aggrieved, but this kind of grievance was not the kind she felt two days ago when she was sick and Lu Yinbing scolded her and she hid away and cried silently. It was another kind of grievance filled with anger and sadness, like a double-edged sword. Once it was unsheathed, it would hurt herself and others.
Xia Yiting was filled with resentment. She lowered her head, exhaled heavily, and put the sword back.
"Really? Didn't we find the bottle?" Xia Yitong raised her head and smiled, "There's nothing important in it. Why should I be angry? Besides, I can't be angry with you."
Lu Yinbing stared at her for a long while, unsure of her true thoughts. After thinking for a while, she explained, "I originally put this bottle on the bedside table. One night before going to bed, I was holding it in my hand to read it. Maybe I fell asleep and it fell and rolled under the cabinet. I didn't lose it on purpose." She said, "I'm sorry."
"I accept." Xia Yitong replied quickly, smiling.
Lu Yinbing was still uneasy.
Xia Yitong took the initiative to hug her arm and urged her, "It's almost dawn, Teacher Lu, if you don't go to the set to put on makeup, it will be too late. Director Qin will scold me if he doesn't scold you."
Are you really not angry
Lu Yinbing kept thinking about this question on the way to the set.
Xiaoxi nudged Fang Wei's arm and said, "Hey, Fang Wei, do you think Teacher Xia is acting weird today?"
Fang Wei looked at her with disgust and immediately distanced herself from her.
Xiaoxi: "Hello..."
What did she do to her? Her master was puzzled, and so was her assistant. This world was inexplicable. When she came out of Lu Yinbing's couple's suite this morning, she realized that the couple she had just stood with this morning was actually Bingliang Yixia. The couple's suite was poisonous. Everyone was abnormal the next day after sleeping with it.
When they arrived at the set, they both went to their respective dressing rooms.
As soon as Xia Yitong left Lu Yinbing's sight, the fake smile did not stay on her face for even a second. She walked into the dressing room with a face as cold as snow to change clothes.
Fang Hui gently placed her bag on the table, hesitating to speak: "Teacher Xia..."
"I'm fine." Xia Yitong answered concisely.
"Let me help you wash the bottle." Fang Wei wrapped it with a napkin when putting it in, and still wrapped it tightly when taking it out.
"good."
Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that she would say to throw away the bottle, "Then I'll go now."
"Wait a moment."
"ah?"
"Go buy a new bottle and throw this away. You don't need the ribbon and you don't need to buy a new one."
This kind of glass bottle can be restored to its original state after cleaning, so there is no need to buy a new one. But since Xia Yitong said so, Fang Hui had no choice but to do as he said.
"Remember to buy one that's different from this one." Xia Yitong sat on the dressing chair with her back to her, staring at the face in the mirror, her eyes gradually sliding towards gloom and darkness.
"OK."
Fang Wei seemed to suddenly understand her a little bit. Putting old wine in new bottles might be able to pretend that it had never been discarded.
Fang Wei clenched the bottle tightly, she felt sorry for Xia Yitong.
When she was leaving, she bumped into Xiaoxi who was "wandering" outside. She came over and didn't look happy towards Fang Hui: "Teacher Lu said her dressing room is bigger. We are going to film a scene together anyway, so she invited Teacher Xia to go to her place to do her makeup."
Fang Wei said coldly: "Teacher Xia has already started to put on makeup, and her things are already laid out, so it's hard to move them."
Xiaoxi: "Hey, I said you today—"
Fang Wei stared at her with hatred. The master was not a good person, and the assistant was even less so. She pushed Xiaoxi's hand away with her arm and said rudely, "Teacher Xia asked me to go out and do something. A good dog doesn't stand in the way."
Xiaoxi stood there, laughing in anger. What the hell was going on? The next moment, she saw a flash of refracted light in Fang Wei's palm.
"Stop."
How could Fang Wei stop? She heard her shouting and walked faster.
Xiaoxi trotted after it and saw clearly that it was the wishing bottle.
"What are you doing with it?"
"Don't you think you're meddling too much?"
"Is it not okay for me to be curious?"
“No one has to satisfy your curiosity.”
"It won't kill you to talk about it."
"If you follow me again, be careful or I won't be polite."
"… "
Xiaoxi returned to Lu Yinbing's dressing room after failing to achieve her goal. Lu Yinbing looked behind her and Xiaoxi closed the door and said, "Her assistant said that Teacher Xia has already started putting on makeup."
"Then why did you take so long?"
"She had a few arguments with her assistant."
"What's the quarrel between you and her?" Lu Yinbing would never ask this kind of question in the past, but today he was inexplicably very concerned about everything that happened around Xia Yitong, not even daring to miss a small thing.
Xiaoxi was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Lu Yinbing to have more to say, so she said, "I don't know either. She used to be quite respectful to me, calling me sister all the time, but today she suddenly..." Xiaoxi shrugged, "... the hatred for killing my father and stealing my wife is irreconcilable."
"What else?"
"What else?" Xiaoxi met Lu Yinbing's inquiring eyes and said seriously, "I saw Fang Hui holding the wishing bottle I just found at the front desk. She said Xia Yitong asked her to go out and do something."
"What else?"
"Teacher Xia's makeup artist just arrived, so the fact that everything was ready was just an excuse. She deliberately made an excuse not to come. It's very likely that Fang Hui acted on her own initiative, because she kicked me out before I even went in."
"What else?"
"Report, no more!"
"Is that so..." Lu Yinbing murmured, her back slumped back into the chair, looking really angry. No matter what, she was indeed wrong in this matter, so she would go and formally apologize to her after work tonight.
At worst, I can set the air conditioner to 24 degrees tonight and she can cover herself with another quilt! Lu Yinbing gritted her teeth and thought.
