Chasing Tides

Sui Yi also felt that his actions were immature, but he was used to being conceited since he was a child, and he hadn't learned the adult's ins and outs to the fullest, and he couldn't pretend that he didn't see anything.

Ning Lan's appearance is pure and harmless, and she can easily win the favor of others at the first sight.He understands Zhang Fan's intention to put him in AOW, the group is currently short of this type of members.

However, after getting along with each other for a few days, Ning Lan's behavior did not match his face at all.He was in debt, lied, flattered himself and other members, and Sui Yi even suspected that Zhang Fan didn't find out about him before he was brought in.

Before the release of Sui Yi's personal promotion at night, Zhang Fan called and asked him to notify all members to gather in the conference room next Monday morning.

Sui Yi asked about Ning Lan's background by the way. Zhang Fan half-joked that he picked it up on the road, and Sui Yi also half-truthfully asked, "Have you been vaccinated?"

Zhang Fan smiled for a long time on the phone and said, "I will leave this task to you. I believe you can change him from wild to domesticated."

Sui Yi hung up the phone and went back to the room. Ning Lan put the "Basic Music Theory" on his face and dozed off. The sound of the door being closed made him shiver. Pen, saliva is about to flow down from the corner of the mouth.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Sui Yi leaned over and took out the pen, closed the book and put it beside the pillow before climbing onto his own bed on the upper bunk.

The next morning, the five people in the dormitory arrived early, squatting at the door of the conference room that hadn't opened yet, and had breakfast together. Everyone had a piece of pancakes and fruits. Wang Bingyang got up early and went downstairs to line up to buy them.

Gu Chenkai couldn't bear the disgust on his face, he picked out the shallots inside one by one with his mouth flattened.Gao Ming bumped into Wang Bingyang: "Xiaochen doesn't eat onions, garlic and coriander, don't you know?"

Wang Bingyang smirked: "I forgot when I didn't wake up, and I asked the boss to make five identical copies."

Although Ning Lan is not from the north, she has been living in the capital since she was 18 years old. She is used to this taste, so she solved it by three times and five times. She patted Wang Bingyang with her cheeks and said, "It's delicious. Brother Huihui invites everyone to eat finger cakes." , put two intestines."

Gu Chenkai picked up a piece of chopped green onion and said competitively: "Tomorrow I will treat guests to morning tea at the company's tea restaurant downstairs."

Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang clapped the venue and applauded, Ning Lan also smiled, thinking that this silly boy is really ridiculous.

Zhang Fan stepped on the spot, and everyone was seated when entering the door. Just as Zhang Fan was about to announce something, there were only a few people at a glance: "Where is Fang Yu?"

Sui Yi said: "He was notified yesterday, he should be here soon."

Lu Xiaochuan crossed his arms and sneered: "He's in the parking lot, and he can't back up to get into the garage, so he's probably still tossing around there."

Zhang Fan asked: "Can't you pour it for him?"

Lu Xiaochuan: "Why should I help him?"

Lu Xiaochuan is a dandy, he can't hide his emotions even more than Gu Chenkai, and his disgust is beyond words.

Ning Lan became even more curious about this teammate she had never met.Judging from the photos released last night, Fang Yu looks very beautiful, the kind of beauty that would make you unable to move at first sight, and is the face of the group.

Ordinarily, Lu Xiaochuan, a rascal who doesn't care about men and women, should like Fang Yu's hanging. Just now, when he came to the door of the meeting room, he saw that Zhang Fan hadn't come yet, so he turned around and went downstairs to the practice room to find a girl to play with. When he came back, his face was full of joy. There was another pile of messy perfume smell on the body.

After waiting another 10 minutes, Fang Yu knocked on the door of the conference room, apologized softly, and then sat next to Sui Yi.

Zhang Fan didn't blame him, but Ning Lan felt that it was probably because she couldn't bear to blame such a beauty, she was so red-faced and white-toothed, looking so graceful, everyone would lose half of her body when she looked at her so lightly.

When everyone was present, Zhang Fan announced that a group promotional photo would be taken tomorrow, and the new member Ning Lan's personal photo would be taken together.

Ning Lan is currently the only member of AOW that has not been announced. The outside world thinks that Starlight Entertainment has a trump card to lure everyone's appetite, and it is the member who replaced Feng Qiu, so naturally it has received a lot of attention.

What they don't know is that the reason for the delay in publishing is that No.7 members don't even have a decent photo.

The group photo is the cover photo of the debut single, which means that the shooting of the official MV is not far away. Everyone is very excited. Lu Xiaochuan, who doesn’t care about anything except picking up girls, is also beaming. He said that he would invite everyone to have lunch to celebrate. Zhang Fan asked him Later, when he went to dance practice with Ning Lan, he immediately languished, lying on the table and moaning.

After the meeting, Zhang Fan called Ning Lan out to talk alone, and asked him if he was used to the past two days and whether he had worked hard. Ning Lan said it was good.In the service industry he worked in before, he often worked two shifts, and it was common to work more than 12 hours a day. In contrast, singing and dancing were only half of the labor.

Zhang Fan asked him to study hard, saying that time was tight, and he would shoot the MV location in a week, and he would start training him on camera sense tomorrow.

Finally, Zhang Fan took out an envelope from his bag: "This is two months' salary, which the company paid you in advance."

Ning Lan was stunned: "I've only been here for a week."

Zhang Fan smiled and said: "It's okay, our company is humane, and it is difficult for young people to start. If we don't help at this time, who will help? Send the card number to my mobile phone later, and I will pay you to punch the card later."

Ning Lan nodded, and took the stack of money a little at a loss: "Thank you..." It was the first time that I got my salary within a week of working.

"You don't need to thank me. It was your captain who told me that you seem to be in trouble. I have so many artists under my belt, it is inevitable that I will be negligent and fail to take care of everyone. In the future, you will call me directly for such things. Our company not only wants to train you, I also need to take care of you, after all, they are teenagers, and they are the treasures of their parents at home." Zhang Fan said.

Ning Lan thought to herself, Manager Zhang, you probably forgot that I am already 23 years old.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the seven members of AOW gathered in the practice room for the first time, and dance teacher Xu Rui lined up for them.

When the group goes out to attend any event, the positions are determined in advance. Most of the tall ones stand in the middle, and the short ones are distributed on both sides. In addition, the visual effect should also be considered. The observation habit of normal people is to spread out from the middle to the two sides. In layman's terms, the more it is in the middle, the more attention-grabbing it is.

Sui Yi has a male-female face and is tall, so he must be the C.Looking from the front, Fang Yu, Wang Bingyang, and Gao Ming are on his right, and Lu Xiaochuan, Gu Chenkai, and Ning Lan are on his left.

When the formation was about to be finalized, Gao Ming raised his hand to ask questions, and said, "Isn't it unscientific to line up like this? Ning Lanyan is good, she can't lose to Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai, why put him on the side?"

Ning Lan's eyebrows twitched, what the hell, can you lie down while standing?

Soon he figured it out. As the member with the most stage experience in the group, Gao Ming was naturally dissatisfied with such a standing arrangement, and he couldn't just say "I want to stand in the middle", so he just stood like him. The self on the farthest side used it as an excuse to insinuate that the position arrangement was unfair.

Ning Lan also knew that it was not good to stand on the sidelines. The seven members of the group lined up four or five meters apart. The photographer was not as good as he was, so he was thrown out of the camera.If he was allowed to choose, he also wanted to stand in the middle, but he knew that with his current qualifications, he did not have the right to speak. Now that Gao Ming said so, even if he didn't have the intention, he would have it.

Ning Lan turned her head and glanced at Gao Ming through the gap, thinking that this child is not simple.

Naturally, the formation couldn't be changed, so Xu Rui formed a formation of two rows in front and back again, with the people in the middle standing at the back, Gao Ming, Gu Chenkai and Ning Lan standing in the front row, Gao Ming's face This eased.

At lunch time, Lu Xiaochuan invited everyone to have dinner at the Sichuan restaurant downstairs.Fang Yu is beautiful and has a gentle manner. When eating fish with pickled cabbage, he first passes the fish fillet in clear water before putting it into his mouth. Ning Lan was curious and asked him why he did this. He smiled: "I can't eat spicy food, my face will burst out .”

Lu Xiaochuan snorted heavily, as if he couldn't stand his coquettishness, he threw his chopsticks to let everyone eat slowly after eating halfway, then he paid the bill and left first.Before leaving, he still didn't forget to blow a kiss to Ning Lan, his eyebrows and eyes were affectionate, as if to say: "Brother, I will come to thank you when I finish my work."

All the teammates took it for granted, kept their eyes on it, and continued to eat their own meals.

Lu Xiaochuan didn't come to the vocal class in the afternoon. Teacher Zhao asked Sui Yi to call him, but he was hung up three times and no one answered twice. Teacher Zhao almost broke the pointer in his hand.

After class, Ning Lan tidied up and went downstairs slowly. The elevator descended slowly, so he simply paced down the stairs. The stairwell was dark and quiet, only his heavy footsteps could be heard alone.

As he walked, he took out the photos in his notebook and looked at them. It was the Polaroid that Xu Rui took for them when they were queuing in the morning. He said it was a commemoration of becoming an army, and everyone had one. He also laughed and said that he could send it to his family. It's frustrating.

Ning Lan saw that several teammates around him took out their mobile phones to announce the good news to the family on the spot. He watched from the side, probably because the training time was too short to appreciate the joy of harvest.

But everyone has vanity, and he still wants to share it with others.

He took out his mobile phone, dialed a number he knew by heart, and a long "beep—" came out of the receiver, and the call was made.

It took nearly half a minute for someone to answer the phone: "Hello, who is it?"

Ning Lan cleared her throat: "It's me, Ning Lan."

There was a moment of silence over there: "Oh, Xiaolan, why did you change the number?"

Ning Lan said casually: "The phone is broken, so I might as well change it. Auntie, please save my new number."

"okay."

"Has Xiaoxuan started school yet? Is she still used to changing schools?"

"pretty good."

The other party obviously didn't want to continue the conversation with him.

Ever since Ning Lan was caught in that basement, she hadn't had any contact with her family, let alone dared to go back.Now every day, he faces unfamiliar faces he has just known for a few days. Even if his family members are not so friendly, he is reluctant to hang up the phone.

He said, "That's good. I've changed my job, maybe I'll be in TV..."

"Oh, the water is boiling. Auntie won't chat with you for now. Hang up."

The other party hung up the phone in a hurry, as if avoiding some plague god.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Ning Lan grinned self-deprecatingly.He is the God of Plague, killing his own father, dragging down his mother, and causing his uncle and aunt's family to bear such a burden on their poor families.

If he hadn't given his aunt a sum of money during the Chinese New Year, asking her to transfer her cousin Ning Xuan to a senior high school in the city, her aunt would probably have hung up the phone immediately when she heard his voice.

So what if it's on TV?Does anyone want to see him?

Ning Lan didn't go back to the dormitory directly, but took the bus for [-] stops, arrived at the entrance of a private hospital in Shinan, and walked in before the closing hours.

There was only one doctor and one nurse in the unorthodox small hospital. Seeing that he was dressed shabby, the doctor said without raising his eyelids, "All projects must be made by appointment. Please read the quotation on the table."

"Is there any project that can be done today?" Ning Lan asked.

The doctor pushed his glasses and almost rolled his eyes: "No, you have to make an appointment for face-lifting injections."

Ning Lan raised her finger and pointed at the corner of her left eye: "How long will it take to add a mole here?"

The hour hand slowly passed the number ten, Sui Yi closed the book, turned off the lamp, and got ready to go to bed.While taking off his coat, he glanced at the empty lower berth, took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked the number.

Although it was not his original intention to be the captain, the sense of responsibility cultivated since he was a child guided him to at least be a qualified captain in the two months since he joined the group.

Just as he found the number and was about to dial it, there was a sound of opening the door outside. Sui Yi heard someone come in to change shoes, and then knocked on the door next door. The sound insulation of the room was not good. He heard the conversation between Ning Lan and Gao Ming, saying "pay back the money" ","dinner".

This kid really likes to write bad promises, he thought, he owed almost everyone a meal after only being here for a week.

Sui Yi put the phone back and hung the coat on the hanger.

As soon as the voices on the other side of the wall stopped, the door on this side was unlocked. Seeing the darkness of the room, Ning Lan turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and shone on Sui Yi who was standing there, gasping in fright.

"My darling, Captain, it's scary for you to stand here without saying a word." Ning Lan patted her chest and said.

Sui Yi has hardly left the capital since he was born, so it is not known what dialect he speaks.

"Where did you go?" Sui Yi asked.

Ning Lan also took off her coat. Seeing that the hangers were full, she casually hung the clothes on the back of the desk and chair: "Going out to play...can I put the coat here?"

Sui Yi took a look: "Yes." He raised his hand to hold the escalator, thought for a while and then said, "Go back to the dormitory early in the future, it will be bad if someone takes pictures of you before your debut."

Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, and when he recalled the first embarrassing scene between him and Sui Yi, he finally realized that this guy had had a bad impression of him since then, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble to the group.

Ning Lan felt bored, why did no one see him anywhere?

He said with a smile on his face, "Understood, Captain." Then he took off the clothes he had just hung up, and was about to throw them back on the bed.

Turning around, I didn't pay attention to my feet in the dark, I didn't know what happened to my toes, and my whole body was unstable and I fell forward.

It happened so fast that he didn't even have time to stretch out his hands. He closed his eyes resignedly, but the expected pain didn't appear. Someone quickly grabbed his arm and pushed him forward.

"Be careful."

Sui Yi's voice had never been so close to him before, Ning Lan raised her head suddenly, her eyes met his eyes.

It wasn't until Gu Chenkai, who was already sound asleep on the bed next to him, turned over talking in his sleep, that the two took a step back in a daze.

Ning Lan thanked her in a low voice, then threw the cell phone with the light on on her bed, climbed up with hands and feet, and touched a pair of clean underwear from under the pillow.

When Sui Yi stood up straight again, Ning Lan still felt that she should say something, touched the mole just under her left eye, and said, "Sister Zhang Fan paid me my salary today, thank you, I will definitely invite you sometime Have a good meal."

Sui Yi stood against the light, and Ning Lan didn't know where he was looking, but when he heard him say "hmm", he went out to take a shower lightly.

Sui Yi climbed to the upper bunk, closed her eyes, and all she saw were those bright eyes under the swaying light.

Ning Lan's facial features are not very brilliant at a closer look, but they fit together just right. His nose bridge is high and his lips are plump, so relatively speaking, it is the lower half of his face that attracts more attention.

But just now, his eyes were firmly locked on the part above the bridge of Ning Lan's nose. Even after Ning Lan turned his back to him, he wanted to catch up and continue looking, not wanting those bright black eyes to escape his sight.

It was clearly a pure appearance, but it was inexplicably more glamorous and charming just now.

Sui Yi turned over, faced the white wall, stared at it for two to three minutes, then closed his eyes again, the familiar feeling of deja vu finally dissipated a little.
