Chasing Tides

He slammed the bag on the ground with a loud bang, then raised his hand and slammed down the zipper of his coat, took off the coat and threw it on the ground, and then went to pull the only thin T-shirt on his body.

Ning Lan was already thin, and her baggy T-shirt was pulled down below her shoulders, exposing almost all the skin on her upper body.

He walked forward slowly while taking off, the sound of footsteps was amplified several times due to the silence in the room, and the sound of tearing was also the same, blunt and sharp intertwined, giving people a creepy experience for no reason.

"You... What are you doing?" Gu Chenkai raised his head and asked loudly, but his wandering eyes betrayed the panic in his heart.

Ning Lan took another step forward, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: "Seduce you."

The chill spread from the soles of the feet to the body, and Gu Chenkai couldn't speak easily: "You, you, are you sick?"

Ning Lan, dressed in rags, was still leaning forward, his shoulders and waist exposed in the air. Sui Yi stood behind him, and when he looked up, he saw a red mark the size of a bowl on his back where he was kicked by Gu Chenkai just now , which looked even more abrupt against the surrounding white to sickly skin.

Sui Yi's breathing stopped suddenly, which was the same as the subconscious feedback when he saw his injured knee last time.

Ning Lan chuckled a few times: "So you are really afraid of being seduced by me."

The room where people can stand is very small, Ning Lan got closer and closer, and the three people standing in a row took half a step back. Gao Ming even bumped into the table behind, and was helped by Wang Bingyang to stand still.How did they expect Ning Lan to react like this, before, he had endured it without saying a word, so such a sudden counterattack made people surprised to a little bit horrified.

What's more, Ning Lan's expression was also uncharacteristically, he was obviously smiling, but the coldness in his eyes completely leaked his emotions.He was very angry, maybe he would really hit someone in the next second.

They are all children in their teens who have never experienced the dangers of society. They lose their position when they are frightened casually. Gu Chenkai's face turns pale. He grew up surrounded by stars, and his parents and relatives are even only one year older than him. His older brother dotes on him, how could he have been bullied like this in front of his face, he was so panicked, and his mouth was unforgiving: "I'm afraid of being a fart, if you want to go out to fight openly, why are you taking off your clothes? Gay, disgusting!"

Ning Lan raised one corner of her mouth, shrugged and said, "I don't know anything except to seduce people."

Wang Bingyang was also trembling all over. He always felt that something would happen if he didn't stop him, so he stepped forward and said, "Don't quarrel, the dormitory rules don't allow fighting, let's calm down, calm down."

It did not play a role in easing the atmosphere.

Ning Lan was still standing there, smiling but not smiling, not angry but not angry, obviously her height and figure did not have an advantage, but just straightening her back and raising her face gave people an inexplicably gloomy and oppressive feeling, enveloped by this aura That said, even if there were only a few strands of torn pieces of cloth hanging on the other party's thin body, it would only make people feel the sharpness of a biting cold wind, without any weakness or absurdity.

Even Ning Lan thought that he had no edges and corners. It turned out that it was just polished off and buried in the soil. When an unexpected storm passed by, it would still be blown to reveal a little sharp corner.

It's not that he doesn't feel pain, it's just that he hides it very deeply, and ordinary stimuli can't touch it at all.

Just when the air was still and something was about to explode, Sui Yi stood up and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, and go back to your respective rooms to sleep."

A thick coat was draped from the back to the shoulders. As soon as Ning Lan warmed up, her tense body relaxed involuntarily.

When he turned his head, Sui Yi lowered his eyes, and wrapped his arms around to help him gather the skirt of his coat, barely covering the cold skin exposed in the air.

A serious conflict dissipated into nothingness.

Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang slipped away as if they were fleeing, Gu Chenkai also shut up under Sui Yi's pressure, angrily took his clothes and went to take a bath.

Ning Lan stood there for a while to stabilize his mind, the hot blood rushing to his forehead slowly cooled down, and the lingering aftertaste still made him dizzy.

The bag thrown on the ground has been picked up and placed on the chair beside the bed. Ning Lan strode over, picked up the bag, turned and walked out.

Sui Yi blocked his way again.

Ning Lan didn't lift her eyelids: "Let me go."

Sui Yi was stunned.His tone was flat, as if the one who sneered just now was not him at all.

But the alienation and resistance in the tone are obvious.

Sui Yi could probably guess why he was angry. He didn't like being misunderstood, so he immediately explained: "I didn't tell anyone about the money, I don't know how Xiaochen knew about it."

Ning Lan didn't say anything, but the corners of her lips were pursed even tighter.

"I apologize to you on his behalf, and when I look back, I..."

"No need." Ning Lan interrupted him, "It was I who borrowed money from you, and I couldn't repay it temporarily. He was right."

Half of Sui Yi's words were cut off, and before he could think of how to respond, Ning Lan continued, "I will pay you back the money. Please let me go."

Then they walked past him, and the two of them separated after touching their shoulders, leaving no trace of warmth.

Ning Lan didn't go very far, and stayed in Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu's room for one night.

When Sui Yi woke up the next morning, she saw the coat she gave Ning Lan yesterday was neatly folded on the chair, and the green-covered "Basic Music Theory" was on the table.

The turmoil of changing dormitory was in Ninglan when he applied to Zhang Fan. Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu agreed to let him stay in their room and then closed the curtain. For this reason, Zhang Fan called them over and beat them up, warning them not to learn before they are popular. Hold together to exclude that set.

Sui Yi listened absently.Although he didn't intentionally use cold violence against Ning Lan, the other team members saw his behavior and naturally followed suit.It has nothing to do with him.

He just didn't know how to face such a person, whose actions he loathed and despised, yet unknowingly attracted his attention, perhaps out of curiosity, or out of self-compassion, after all Most of what Ning Lan showed in front of him was a vulnerable side that needed protection.

As for the amount of camouflage inside, only Ning Lan knew it, and he didn't want to delve into it.

After a week of collective training, AOW received its first commercial—a sports drink newly launched by a well-known company, targeting the young people in their teens and twenties.Because it is an advertisement placed on the Internet, the requirement for national awareness is not so high, AOW easily stands out, and as the most popular new-generation boy group in the near future, it has won the favor of merchants.

Not long after returning to the capital, the seven members of AOW took another plane to S city.

In mid-June, the temperature in City S is higher than that of the capital, and the heat is very steamy. It is really difficult to jump up and down in the city center where the surface temperature is astonishing under the scorching sun.

Fang Yu reapplied sunscreen for the first time today. After applying it, he asked Ning Lan, the only one in the group who could have fairer skin than him: "Don't you really want to apply some? You'll cry if you get tanned."

Ning Lan took a sip of water and shook her head: "I'll be back after a few days."

Sui Yi had just returned from shooting the solo shot, and when she was receiving water from An Lin's hand, she glanced over there. Ning Lan's back was turned to him, and she could only see a section of her neck that was reddened by the sun.

After that day, they hardly communicated with each other. They used to live in the same room but never saw each other when they looked up, but now they can’t meet each other in the practice room. Except for Zhang Fan calling all the staff to have a meeting or group activities, there is no chance to meet each other at all.

He used to avoid Ning Lan, but now Ning Lan is avoiding him, no, it's them.The final effect of the two is exactly the same, and it saves him a lot of trouble, but Sui Yi just feels that something is wrong.

When it was Ning Lan's turn to take a solo shot, the director asked him to laugh, so he put the drink on his cheek, grinned and raised his eyebrows, as if this drink could really bring him an unparalleled summer refreshment.

The scorching sun hit the rest area directly, and the scene in front of him was distorted and shaken as if it was about to melt, but Sui Yi focused on it, and even noticed that Ning Lan was thinner than before.

After the shooting of the commercial, the teenagers met to eat the famous pan-fried buns in S City. Just as they were about to set off, An Lin called and asked them to meet downstairs in half an hour. The company temporarily picked up a local restaurant in S City live streaming.

We ate some snacks for dinner, and then went downstairs with a sigh.Ning Lan, who was arranged to sleep with the staff, was already in the car. He was sitting in the corner of the back row of the car with his arms folded, his head leaning against the window, and he was dozing off with his eyes closed.Hearing someone getting into the car, he only moved a little, and then moved his body to the side.

Where Ning Lan was, the few people in the dormitory couldn't let go of their conversations, and they drove all the way to the live broadcast location, and the car was completely silent.

After that conflict, Ning Lan no longer showed any kindness to everyone, nor did he show the monstrous anger that night. He was like a transparent person in the dormitory, and no one needed to deliberately ignore him. Stand aside and stop trying to get involved.

Gu Chenkai and Gao Ming were delighted to hear this, the other three members had nothing to do with them, only Sui Yi felt uncomfortable.

When he received the notification just now, he sent Ning Lan a message asking him to come over to this room for dinner.He remembered that Ning Lan had hypoglycemia, and leaving without dinner might affect his subsequent work.

After sending it, he regretted it a little. He remembered the few text messages Ning Lan had sent before, but he didn't reply to any of them. It would be reasonable for Ning Lan not to reply now.

Ning Lan replied anyway, with three simple words: No need.

After receiving the reply, Sui Yi was inexplicably relieved.After thinking about it again, Ning Lan's text messages are all sent in groups, and there is nothing wrong with him even if he doesn't reply.

The live broadcast is a gourmet show, and today's theme is "New Ways to Eat Lobster".

I thought it was a spicy crayfish, but who knew that when the live broadcast just started, two chefs brought up a big Olong with a basin.The teenagers were dumbfounded. The host asked those present who had never eaten big lobster to raise their hands. It sounded a bit shabby, but Ning Lan raised her hand with a smile.

Of course they were not asked to cook. The purpose of inviting guests to the food live broadcast is to increase popularity and mobilize the atmosphere. Several people surrounded the iron plate for grilling lobster tightly, chattering to warm up the scene, and the barrage brushed quickly , the audience enjoyed watching it.

After the lobster is finished grilling, it is natural for the guests to try it.Sui Yi, as the captain, took the lead and took a small bite, then wiped his mouth with a paper towel, with an unpredictable expression, neither saying it was delicious nor bad, and let everyone taste it for themselves.

The team members made a fuss, saying that the captain had failed in his study, and then each took a plate and fork to share the lobster meat. Everyone didn't eat at night, and the lobster was divided into scum.

"Hey, hey, eat less, Ning Lan hasn't moved yet." Lu Xiaochuan puffed his cheeks and said.

Sui Yi glanced at Ning Lan who was standing quietly in the corner as the background board, picked up a clean plate, put the last piece of slightly intact shrimp on it, and handed it to Ning Lan at the other end of the table.

"Ah, the captain gave the last piece to Lanlan." Fang Yu bit his fork and said.

Sui Yi looked at Ning Lan, a little worried that he would not answer.Responding to Fang Yu, "Didn't you say you want to lose weight?"

"Just tell me you believe it..."

Ning Lan didn't look at the person who handed him the food. She took the plate with a smile, then turned her arms and brought it to Fang Yu in a steady manner: "You eat, I'm not hungry."

This scene was later named "textbook-level acting like a baby" by Gaohua CP fans, and Ning Lan played the role of a waiter in it.This time he performed very well, knowing that the food in the captain's hands should not be eaten casually, and he finally made a good impression in front of CP fans.
