Chasing Tides

The red light turned to green, Sui Yi turned on the hands-free, put the phone on top of the center console, and released the brake with his right foot.

"Hmm." He responded.

The man on the other end of the phone asked hurriedly, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Ah."

"How are you doing recently? Is the living expenses enough? Do you want to..."

Before the other party finished speaking, Sui Yi interrupted: "Enough, don't."

The attitude is tough and indifferent, unwilling to say a word.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and said, "That's good. Your dad's birthday is next Saturday. He misses you very much. Go home and have a look if you have time."

Even if he was rudely contradicted by Sui Yi, the man's voice was still gentle, as if he wasn't angry at all.

"No time. I'm hanging up." Sui Yi didn't appreciate it at all, and was about to press hang up.

"Wait a minute, Sui Yi." The person on the other end of the phone hurriedly called him, "Teacher knows... I know you still hate me. I was indeed at fault for your mother's matter. I didn't intend to shirk responsibility, but the matter is over. After so long, what you see is not the whole picture. Your father is not in good health recently, you should at least come back and listen to what he has to say."

Sui Yi hung up the phone, and the carriage returned to silence.

After driving a little further, Sui Yi said, "Are you awake?"

Ning Lan kept her face turned to the right, her neck was almost stiff, when she heard this, she turned around slowly, and yawned exaggeratedly, with a dazed expression on her face, "Are you there?"

Sui Yi didn't expose it, and said, "Hurry up."

Ning Lan was actually very nervous. He didn't mean to listen to other people's calls, but it was such a private call, but he couldn't cover his ears, could he?In this case, pretending to be asleep is the best way to deal with it.

Park the car in the underground garage of the community, and the two of them take the elevator upstairs.

"Look carefully, there are many luxury cars in this neighborhood." After the elevator door closed, Ning Lan had nothing to say.

Sui Yi didn't pay attention to this, and said casually: "Do you have research on cars?"

"No, I really like it, otherwise I wouldn't apply for a job at a 4S shop." Ning Lan glanced at Sui Yi, "Hey, you don't think I went there just to get a beating, do you?"

Sui Yi smiled and shook her head: "No."

You can tell by that expression that you are not telling the truth.Ning Lan originally planned to explain something, but suddenly remembered that she called him "husband" that day in order to get away, but she still didn't say the words, she coughed a few times in embarrassment, and raised her hand to touch her nose.

When getting out of the elevator, Sui Yi asked, "Are you still short of money?"

His voice was calm and unwavering, Ning Lan followed behind and couldn't see his expression, and couldn't be sure whether he really cared or disdained to ridicule.But no matter what reason Sui Yi asked this question, Ning Lan gave the same answer.

"No shortage, thank you Captain for your concern."

Sui Yi didn't ask any more questions, and took the key to open the door and went in. The teammates who came back early were lying in disorder on the sofa in the living room, and the two cooperated to carry them back to the room one by one.

Sui Yi resumed his captain status, and said to Ning Lan: "Tomorrow, we will shoot the MV location, go to bed early."

No matter how healthy the young people are, they can't stand the erosion of alcohol. It wasn't until the next afternoon that the five hangovers recovered a little bit of energy. After washing up, all the members rushed to the shooting location together.

In fact, it is a school playground. On Sundays, when the students were not there, I booked a playground, and took pictures of the teenagers running in confusion under the sunset.

Before going out, Ning Lan secretly put height-enhancing insoles in her shoes. Standing has confidence, but running is not so smooth. I always feel that the shoes will fly out at any time when I take a long step.

Fortunately, everyone was busy, and no one noticed his strange state.Gao Ming, Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai practiced on the track on skateboards, while Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu were still arguing.

"It's agreed that you live in [-], you live in [-], I live in [-], yesterday was Saturday!"

"I know, didn't I get drunk yesterday, and I don't want to live with you either."

"Who knows if you did it on purpose, look at my young master, I'm rich and handsome, and I threw myself on me with a stern face."

"Then why don't I go to the captain?"

"You still want to hook up with the captain?" Lu Xiaochuan immediately jumped up, "You still have to be shameless, what the hell did you do to be in a team with you... Sister Zhang Fan, sister, please change my team, I don't want to be with this guy Stay together, or you drive him out..."

Ning Lan shook her head when she heard this, she had been arguing all the way and it didn't end.

A few days ago, he learned from Wang Bingyang the reason for the grudge between the two.It is said that Lu Xiaochuan, a prodigal son, saw Fang Yu for the first time. He stared straight at him, crying and shouting that he wanted to make a debut with him. Later, he heard rumors from somewhere, and Fang Yu's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. They don't say bad words to each other, but also do some childish things to run on people.

Ning Lan asked what the rumors were, Wang Bingyang looked around, and whispered in his ear mysteriously: "I heard...just heard that brother Yu is surrounded by a gold master outside, so he usually doesn't live in the dormitory. He also said that he is actually 21 years old, and he was changed to 18 years old for his debut. Brother Ming once saw him being picked up by a luxury car at the gate of the company, and he himself did not deny it. It can be said that this is our company It's an unspoken secret."

After listening to this, Ning Lan laughed dryly, thinking that changing her age and pretending to be young was not the first of her kind.

Fortunately, all the straight men in this group got together in the dormitory, at least they could sleep soundly at night.

The two on the lawn quarreled back and forth, Zhang Fan went over to persuade a few words, and then Lu Xiaochuan stopped.

"All AOW gather!"

In the evening, the sun sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the flaky clouds on the horizon into brilliant gold.

Seven teenagers lined up on the rubber runway. The director gave an order, and they rushed forward. The warm spring breeze brushed their cheeks. At the end of the road, they jumped towards the sky, raising their hands to touch what they could touch. A cluster of rays closest to the sun.

At 8:[-] pm, the last member of AOW was announced. At this point, all members have arrived, Starlight Entertainment official website released a group photo, and the seven AOW members were announced in order of announcement.

The group of five straight men sat around in the living room of the dormitory, each holding a mobile phone. Wang Bingyang was the first to feel nervous, touching Gao Ming with his trembling legs. It stopped at Sui Yi's side.

"Captain, are you not nervous?" Wang Bingyang's teeth were chattering.

Sui Yi shook his head and comforted him: "The company's publicity arrangements are very thoughtful, don't worry."

"But several of us here have received bad reviews..." Wang Bingyang glanced at Gu Chenkai cautiously, "Wow, it won't be black before it becomes popular, right?"

Gao Ming: "Crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense."

Wang Bingyang shrunk his neck and covered his mouth.

Ning Lan wasn't nervous either, on the surface she shook with them.

He thinks very openly, being unpopular is out of his control, as long as one or two of the seven people become popular, and everyone will be in a group within three years, it will always be okay to get some fame by then, right?His goal is to make money. I heard that the [-]th line in the entertainment industry earns more than ordinary people.

After the official announcement, the seven began to increase their followers. The fastest were the three who had participated in the draft, followed by the three with outstanding looks. After 10 minutes, Ning Lan was left behind, and the gap widened. the trend of.

Wang Bingyang is not nervous now, and comforted him: "Brother Lan, you are not photogenic, they won't be able to find your beauty, and when the MV comes out, the number of fans will definitely increase."

Ning Lan just smiled and quit Weibo.

He has read almost all the comments, "You can make your debut if you look like this", "The standard of Starlight Entertainment is getting lower and lower", "The expression is so greasy, the dimples are full"... There are many scoldings and few praises, probably The reason for replacing Feng Qiu is that netizens have extremely harsh evaluations of him.

If he was really 18 at the moment, he might be as angry as the day Gu Chenkai made the announcement, but he is 23 now, the so-called youthful vigor has long been worn down by the wind and rain, even himself I can't even feel where my corners are.

Not letting anyone dominate his life at will is probably the last bottom line he wants to keep.

After staying until 10 o'clock, the first wave of publicity dissipated, and everyone scattered back to the house.

Gu Chenkai was the first to take a bath, Ning Lan went to the balcony to collect the clothes, and brought Sui Yi and Gu Chenkai's dry clothes back to the room, Sui Yi stood up to pick them up: "Leave me here, don't move around."

Ning Lan was stunned: "Huh?"

While distributing the clothes to the three beds, Sui Yi said, "Did you sprain your waist during the afternoon shoot?"

Ning Lan blinked: "How do you know?"

Sui Yi: "I'll be next to you when you're hurdling the hurdles."

Ning Lan thought about it, when shooting in the afternoon, the director had to temporarily add a scene where all the staff climbed over the fence on the edge of the playground. He has been away from the campus for five years, how could he do this, but not even Fang Yu, who looks weak He objected, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, but he lost his waist at the first turn. If it weren't for someone behind him to support him, he would probably fall on his face and break his front teeth.

At that time, his head was full of pain and pain, and he didn't have the heart to take care of other things. Thinking about it now, according to his standing position at that time, Sui Yi was on his left.

"I'm sorry, I'm getting old... Oh no, I'm getting old before I get old... I have to thank you again." Ning Lan said awkwardly while supporting her waist.

Sui Yi put away his clothes, and took a few plasters from the cabinet: "The effect is quite good, you can use it."

Ning Lan wanted to thank him again, but Sui Yi said first, "This is Xiaochen's. He has injured his joints. I bought some and put them in the dormitory for later use."

Ning Lan didn't hold back either, she picked up her clothes and gestured to her waist after taking it, and said in an awkward posture: "From your daily life, I deeply understand how difficult it is to be an older brother."

Sui Yi saw that he was struggling, so he took the initiative to take the plaster and asked, "Do you have a brother?"

"No." Ning Lan lifted her clothes up again, revealing a thin waist, "Maternal solo, is that what you mean?"

"Maternal solo refers to being single from birth to now, not the only child." Sui Yi finished correcting, and pressed the soft flesh on his waist, "Is it here?"

"A little bit down...to the right, right here...hahaha, don't touch there, itchy!" Ning Lan suddenly laughed, curling her legs and feet to hide.

Sui Yi finally found the right place, but he didn't know where to stick it when he made such a move, so he simply held his other waist with his hand, trying to hold him down: "Don't move."

Ning Lan was pinched to the point of laughing, but she moved even more violently. She laughed and pushed Sui Yi's hand. The two pushed back and forth, almost falling onto the bed together.

In the end, it was Sui Yi who put Ning Lan's wrists together and pressed them behind his back, quickly tore off the plaster with his other hand, and slapped Ning Lan's waist with a "snap", and ended the difficult process of applying the plaster.

On Monday, I shot the interior of the MV.

The two MVs were released in the first album of their debut, which can be called a big deal in the circle, which shows that the company attaches great importance to the combination.The teenagers who are about to debut are in high spirits, and the theme song is fully prepared in advance, so the shooting efficiency is extremely high, and they only got stuck when shooting the cute MV.

"Captain, let's make up the last shot, 1, 2, 3, Smile~" The director demonstrated how to smile for the Nth time, the muscles on his face were so sore that he couldn't feel it.

It's not that Sui Yi doesn't know how to laugh, but in An Lin's words, it's "too official". If he makes him laugh, he raises the corners of his lips, just like a robot receiving instructions.He looks too straight, if he doesn't smile spontaneously, he looks a little fake, his eyes are not focused, and hard photos can make do, so the video can't deceive the audience no matter what.

"Let's laugh from the bottom of our hearts. You can imagine seeing a girl you like, or beautiful flowers." The director described the beauty to him.

Sui Yi shook his head, he didn't like girls, and he didn't like flowers either.

Gu Chenkai searched a bunch of bad jokes on the Internet, and read them in front of him, but instead of making him laugh, he rolled himself on the floor laughing.

All kinds of battle plans failed, and the director announced an intermission, exhausted.

Rubbing her chin with her fingers, Ning Lan watched Sui Yi from the sidelines, and then while he was talking to someone else, stepped forward and squeezed Sui Yi's waist abruptly.

Sui Yi: "...what are you doing?"

Ning Lan was surprised: "Aren't you itchy?"

Sui Yi: "It doesn't itch."

Ning Lan saw that his expression did not seem to be pretending, and sighed: "Your laughing tendons may have been poached by your brother in the womb."

Sui Yi thought for a while and said, "He and I are not blood brothers."

Ning Lan: "..." Who is making who laugh?

At the end of the break, the director felt tired and didn't like it, so he said that he would shoot the last one no matter what.The camera was focused on Sui Yi, and several other members of AOW stood behind the camera and made funny faces with their teeth and claws showing off.

Sui Yi still couldn't find any laughing points, so he had no choice but to cheer up and face the camera, trying hard to brew "from the heart" joy.

Looking across the crowd, everyone was paying attention to this side, only Ning Lan, while no one was paying attention to him, curled up in the corner and rubbed his lower back with a grin.

Sui Yi suddenly remembered the way this guy writhed back and forth yesterday, out of breath from laughing, a pair of dimples deeply embedded in his cheeks, his eyes were slightly squinted, like two crooked moons.

"Very good, just laugh like this!" The director shouted excitedly, "Cut!"
