Chasing Tides

At the entrance of the company in the evening, Ning Lan leaned against the wall and looked at the broken clouds in the sky that were dyed pale gold by the setting sun. She hummed and learned her debut single all afternoon, shaking her head and thinking, this is the legendary life-saving?

Maybe it will turn around from now on and reach the pinnacle of life.He couldn't help but took out his phone, looked at the screen like a mirror, touched his face, and rarely felt a little gratitude to the mother who gave birth to him.

Not long after, the phone rang in his pocket, and he took it out to see an unfamiliar number.Ning Lan thought about it, but still picked it up.

"Stinky bitch, finally answered the phone?" There was a thick male voice on the other end of the phone, extremely vicious.

Ning Lan frowned: "Clean your fucking mouth for me."

The man spat: "Your mother sold you to me, you are my thing, bitch, how dare you run away?"

Ning Lan put her other hand in her pocket, and turned her back to the setting sun: "Aren't you going to run away and wait to go home with you for the New Year?"

The man breathed heavily and was irritated by his provocation: "Where are you?"

Ning Lan raised her eyebrows proudly: "Guess."

When he escaped, he stole 300 yuan from the man's pocket. He didn't dare to sit on the train, and he stopped the bus at the expressway to the capital, so he didn't leave any ID card use records.

"You fucking wait for me!" the man said harshly, "Wait until I catch you, break your dog legs, and let you just lie down and wait for my day!"

Ning Lan took the phone away from her ear and said into the microphone, "Day/You/Mom, grab it if you can!" Then she hung up directly.

Squatting there fiddling for a long time, he pulled out the phone card and snapped it in half. Ning Lan's heart, which had been trembling since hearing the man's voice, finally calmed down a little.

He was actually not as calm as he appeared.As long as he thought of the dark room, the sound of footsteps, and the hand stretched into his clothes, his hairs stood on end, and he felt like vomiting with nausea.

The feeling of gratitude to my mother that had just sprung up dissipated immediately.When that woman sold him, did she ever think that she was her own son?

Ning Lan lost the interest just now, and squatted on the ground decadently, staring at the phone in a daze until the assistant girl came over to call him.

"It's Ning Lan, right? I'm AOW's life assistant, An Lin."

The little girl was plainly dressed, with black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, like a school bully.

The gloom swept away from Ning Lan's face, she immediately changed her smile, stood up and shook hands with her.An Lin's face became hot, and she complimented, "You look better than in the photo."

It's not unusual for Ning Lan to hear such words since she was a child, and she still said modestly: "Where is it, they are not as good-looking as them, that is... Lu Xiaochuan, Gao Ming, Wang Bingyang."

It's about the three members who have been revealed.

An Lin was a little surprised that he could say all the names: "Have you met?"

Ning Lan: "No, I read it online."

An Lin nodded and said, "You are all handsome, and you are of a different type."

The two talked while walking, and Ning Lan was curious: "What type am I?"

An Lin pushed her glasses and looked at him carefully: "Hmm...pure and cute."

Ning Lan has the consciousness of being a substitute, but she is still a little shy to receive such an evaluation, and half-jokingly asks: "Do you think I can still take the route of being crazy and cool?"

An Lin smiled and said, "I'm afraid not, there are already two people with this position in the team."

two?Ning Lan ran through the three faces in her mind. From the photos, the one named Lu Xiaochuan fits the bill. Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang looked very kind, not cold at all.

Who is the other one?One of the unpublished ones?

Ning Lan has been a loner since he set foot in society, and he has never tried teamwork at work. Being a singer is a new beginning in his life. Thinking that he will eat and live with his teammates soon, he couldn't help hugging Expectations that I didn't realize.

An Lin drove here, Ning Lan took the co-driver, and arrived at an ordinary residential area not far from the company in 10 minutes.The car was parked in the underground garage, and the two walked to the elevator.

"2306, it's a three-bedroom and two-living room." An Lin introduced to him, "Two people or three people in one room, with a single bed, all members of the company's registered team are equipped with this configuration. If you have a place to live outside, you can share with Zhang Sister Fan made a report, unless you have a travel schedule, you must report if you don’t stay overnight in the dormitory.”

Seeing Ning Lan staring blankly, An Lin thought he was frightened, and comforted him with a smile: "This is for your own good, if something happens, it will affect our entire team."

Ning Lan was noncommittal, with food and shelter, what could he say?It's just that the last time he was restricted in this way when he was living in high school, suddenly someone was controlling him again, which felt strange.

Go through the last aisle, and the elevator hall is right in front of you.At this time, a black Maybach drove in from the end of the road, passed by the two of them, and parked securely in the next parking space.

An Lin immediately changed her route to the car, and said as she walked, "You two are going out again? It will be made public soon, so don't run too far when you go out, especially Chen Kai, you..."

"Got it, my sister An." The boy who spoke was the co-driver, wearing a simple coat and jeans, measuring about 1.8 meters in height, smiling sweetly, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, "I won't go out tomorrow, brother today Take me out to buy clothes, maybe you won’t be able to go shopping in a fair manner in the future.”

The man he called "brother" was obviously the driver.Ning Lan was shocked when she saw that car, but after thinking about it, isn't there too many people driving the same car in the whole capital?He has an excellent memory, and is especially sensitive to faces, names and numbers. He turned his eyes to look at the license plate, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be such a coincidence?

The boy driving the car took a step forward, got out of the car and closed the door, stood up straight and taller than the little sweet bean on the passenger seat, black jacket, black pants, black shoes, and black hair, his whole body seemed to be written "crazy cool bully" Four words.

Obviously, he was one of the two who grabbed his position. With his height and the aura radiating from his body, it made people feel more pressured by being far away.

Ning Lan subconsciously turned her back to cover her face, and heard An Lin say: "Okay, pay attention in the future, otherwise Sister Zhang Fan will talk about it again. I brought the new members, and you guys say hello."

The three of them came here together, Ning Lan had nowhere to hide, she twisted her neck as much as possible to lower her sense of presence, making a final struggle.

"Ning Lan, this is Sui Yi and Gu Chenkai. Sui Yi is the captain of our AOW."

An Lin called the combination name not by saying the three letters one by one, but by joining them together, which sounds similar to "嗤启".

The captain spoke first: "Hi, I'm Sui Yi."

A slender hand was stretched out in front of her, and Ning Lan didn't need to look up to know that the owner of the hand had a good face that could not be described with any complimenting words.

Aww, the captain... sounds like the leader of the pack of wolves. Not only is he not casual, he's even a little scary, okay...
