Chasing Tides

Throughout the party, Ning Lan was thinking about how to be this grandson.

Although he is now considered a public figure, his itinerary is exposed to the sun, and he can run as far as a monk can't run to the temple, but thinking about it carefully, most of the time he stays in crowded places, and the chance of being caught alone like today is very small Not much.

In short, let's run this trip first.

He simulated countless situations in his mind, and was absorbed in his thoughts. When he took a group photo on stage, he accidentally stepped on Gu Chenkai's foot, and was hugged hard and gave him a blank stare.

The charity declaration was made by the captain, who simply stood by the side in a daze, unaware that his stupid look was captured by the camera.

When he stepped down from the stage, Fang Yu bumped him with his elbow, covered his mouth and asked him, "What happened to your chin?"

Ning Lan returned to her senses, raised her hand and touched her chin, it still hurt a little, it should be swollen from being pinched.

"I accidentally bumped it, it's okay." He said.

Fang Yu took out a tube of concealer: "I have to stay under the camera for a while, you should wipe it off before going back to your seat."

Ning Lan is convinced by Fang Yu, thinking that he may be the reincarnation of Doraemon, who can always take out good things from his pocket at critical moments.

After hiding in the corner and applying concealer, Ning Lan returned to the guest seat and found that Gao Ming had taken the previous seat, so she had to sit next to Sui Yi who was near the aisle.

As soon as he sat down, Sui Yi glanced at his face, and said to him in a businesslike manner: "Don't run around after the show, go to the company to gather."

Ning Lan nodded absently: "Yes, I see."

Now he is eager for group activities 24 hours a day, and he is not willing to let him be out of the group.

There was nothing to eat at the party, and they had to cover up their drinks for fear of being caught ugly by the camera.When it was announced on the stage that the charity gala was over, the seven members of AOW couldn't wait to stand up, said goodbye to the seniors around them, and left with the flow of people.

The closer he got to the door, the faster Ning Lan's heart beat, making his eardrums thump.He walked next to Sui Yi in small steps, praying in his heart that the big man would not see him, and even if he saw him, he would at least be concerned about the presence of so many people around him and let him go first.

He wished he could roll himself into a ball, or make a tunnel to get out, but he couldn't do it, so he could only lower his head as much as possible, using Sui Yi's height to hide himself.

Sui Yi didn't take long steps, and when he walked halfway, he distanced himself from his teammates in front, while Ning Lan hid behind, thinking with luck, he probably won't be able to see me this time.

Who would have thought that this big man with outstanding eyesight would immediately see him at the exit where everyone parted ways, with a cigarette in his mouth and a black face, he would reach out to arrest people as he walked up like flying.

Ning Lan watched him come over helplessly, her heart was in her throat.The moment the big man's hand was about to fall on him, Sui Yi, who was walking in front of him, stepped sideways to protect him behind him.

The big man's hand was empty, impatiently going over to grab someone, Sui Yi pressed his hand stretched back: "What are you doing?"

The big guy looked him up and down: "Where is that brat meddling in his own business?" After looking at it for a while, he felt familiar again, and his eyes flicked back and forth between the two, "Hey, isn't this our Xiaolanlan's husband? Or is it the son who came later?" with?"

Sui Yi's appearance is really eye-catching, no wonder he can remember it once he sees it.

The development of the matter was not in any of the situations that Ning Lan had envisioned, so he bit the bullet and pretended to be troublesome: "Brother, you are here, I was looking for you just now... Captain, let go of the captain, we are all friends."

Sui Yi looked at him coldly, and looked around from the corner of his eye. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he slowly let go of his hands.

The big guy didn't want to make trouble in the public, otherwise these two brats together wouldn't be his opponent.He hummed dissatisfiedly at Sui Yi, then hooked his fingers at Ning Lan: "Let's go, Xiao Lanlan."

"He wants to follow me back to the company." Sui Yi said.

Ning Lan was afraid that the big man would say something unpleasant, so she hurriedly begged: "Brother, just wait for me a little longer, just a moment, I'll go to the next company to report, and it will be over soon."

There are people coming and going in the public place, and the camera is still set up at the door. The security guards over there have been staring at them for a while. The big guy didn't get angry after all. He warned Ning Lan to be obedient and don't play tricks. He gave him a fierce look, feeling intimidated If you have enough strength, let him go for the time being.

Until the nanny car stopped downstairs, AOW members got out of the car one by one, and walked into the company building in twos and threes.

When Ning Landi turned his head and looked back inadvertently for countless times, Sui Yi, who was walking at the back, said, "He didn't follow inside."

Ning Lan shrank his shoulders reflexively, and turned back only to find that other teammates followed the elevator and went upstairs. At this time, there were only him and Sui Yi in the lobby on the first floor.He let go of his guard briefly, touched the sweat on the back of his neck, and said to Sui Yi who was behind him, "Thank you."

After pressing the elevator, Ning Lan silently stared at the jumping numbers, thinking about what to do next.

He didn't know why it was always like this, putting himself in such an embarrassing situation, and letting the person around him see him almost every time.According to this person's usual prejudice against him, he must think that he did it on purpose.

Ning Lan lowered her head and stared at her toes, feeling that she was really hopeless, and she still cared about what others thought of him at this time.

The elevator car descended to the first floor, and the two walked onto the elevator, maintaining a social distance of not too far or too close.The atmosphere of silence made Ning Lan a little at a loss. He continued to stare at the number. When the upward number jumped to 5, Sui Yi suddenly said again: "Do you really want to be adopted?"

Ning Lan's eyes widened suddenly, she turned to look at him, her lips moved mechanically a few times, but she didn't speak.

Seeing his terrified appearance, Sui Yi felt even more restless.At the charity party just now, Ning Lan went to the bathroom and didn't come back for a long time, so he went to look for him. Hearing such a conversation was completely accidental.

But if he didn't hear it, he wouldn't know that this guy still wanted to take a shortcut. Looking at his quiet company dormitory recently, he naively thought that he had changed his ways.

Facts have proved that he is willing to degenerate, otherwise why would he agree briskly instead of trying to find a way to ask for help?

Thinking of this, Sui Yi raised the corners of his lips mockingly, feeling that the question he just blurted out was meaningless.Ning Lan's social circle is so wide and exciting, so she must be capable, so why seek shelter from herself?Whether it is unspoken rules or nurturing, it is his own choice.He didn't want to live a clean life, and no one could stop him.

During the time he was thinking, Ning Lan's face had softened, the panic in his eyes faded, and he said calmly, "It's none of your business."

The words were light and light, but the hands behind the back were clenched into fists, trembling slightly.

However, Sui Yi only saw his cold eyes and the sudden red mark on his sharp chin.

The elevator stopped on the 22nd floor, and Ning Lan didn't step out until the two doors almost closed overtime.He walked in front, rubbing his sweaty palms on the hem of his clothes without any trace.

Xia Ye's corridor was very dark, only the footsteps of the two overlapped and staggered, breaking the long and hot silence.

"Ning Lan." The person behind called him, and the sudden voice tore a gap in the darkness.

Ning Lan's back stiffened, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Sui Yi caught up with him and got closer to him. With a deep breath in his chest, he said to the figure who was about to disappear in the night: "Since they are all fostered, then follow me."

The voice was deep and sweet, beating on his crumbling fragility, like the only light in this boundless darkness that could bring him out of the mud.
