Chasing Tides

Ning Lan had no choice but to go to the corner with Boss Liu to "reminisce about the old days". After all, he borrowed money from him when he was in trouble. his benefactor.

Boss Liu looked at him from the beginning to the end as if evaluating the value of a commodity: "Xiao Lanlan is in a terrible situation now, flying up the branches and turning into a phoenix."

Ning Lan was very speechless about his choice of words, and said politely: "No way, you bastard, you are not qualified to stand with Boss Liu."

Boss Liu listened to these words, holding his stomach and laughing loudly: "You little stars, you can speak well one by one."

"Wherever it is, it's all about making a living." Ning Lan said the truth.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries. The big man standing behind Boss Liu became angry when he saw Ning Lan. His nose was not his nose and his face was not his face. Boss Liu stared at him reproachfully: "What kind of attitude is this? Xiao Lanlan Now I have a big backer behind me, so I will be more polite when I see you in the future."

Ning Lan continued to be modest: "No, no."

The best way to deal with this kind of nouveau riche who loves face is to show weakness and satisfy their borderless vanity.

Boss Liu asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Ning Lan quickly pondered the meaning of his words, afraid of causing trouble for Sui Yi, she denied it: "Of course not, otherwise why am I still singing and dancing here?"

Boss Liu's small eyes lit up: "Oh, I knew, our Lanlan has such a good character, how could...haha." He rubbed his hands, "Actually, you didn't come to beg that time Me, I'm really disappointed."

Ning Lan turned pale, how could he have thought that Boss Liu would still remember this incident.

"The girl I hired recently is very hot, here." Boss Liu pointed to the rose in the hands of the big man behind, "If I insist on bringing flowers to support her, she is self-willed and doesn't know how to let her go. Worry-free, alas, don’t you think so?”

Ning Lan's forehead was sweating, and he agreed.

Boss Liu took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said ambiguously, "Tell me, why didn't I find Xiao Lanlan that you are so lovely before?"

Ning Lan took a step back, the smile on her face disappeared, and she was slightly angry.He owes nothing to anyone except Sui Yi now, so there's no need to hold back.He said in a deep voice: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Boss Liu, you are busy." After saying that, he turned and left.

Boss Liu grabbed his arm recklessly and pulled him back: "Hey, hey, I haven't finished talking yet, so don't leave yet."

Just as Ning Lan was about to struggle, his other arm was pulled from the side, and he was pulled away from Boss Liu with a strong force, accompanied by a familiar deep voice: "I'm entering the arena now."

It's Sui Yi.

Ning Lan's head was about to explode, he felt that God must have deliberately played tricks on him, always letting Sui Yi encounter such embarrassing situations.

"Yo, it's not, it's not..." Boss Liu got tongue-tied for a long time, but didn't call out Sui Yi's name.The Sui family is one of the well-known aristocratic families in the capital, and they are not of the same class as a middle-aged nouveau riche like him. He only feels that this young man seems familiar, as if he has seen him somewhere.

Sui Yi had already pulled Ning Lan to leave him far behind, turned a few turns to a secluded corner, and then let go of Ning Lan's arm.

Ning Lan was painfully pinched by his rough hands, she rubbed her arms and puffed her cheeks to look at him: "Why are you so fierce?"

He meant to act like a baby, and wanted Sui Yi to feel sorry for him. It would be fine to kiss or hug him like before.Ever since he made a slip of the tongue and asked about the violin a few days ago, Sui Yi didn't pay much attention to him. Last night, he climbed to the upper bunk again at the risk of being unable to get off. Sui Yi just kissed him perfunctorily and turned over. Catch him under the bed and go back to sleep.

He didn't know where the problem was, so he could only rack his brains to please him in every possible way, not daring to get too close for fear of being hated by him, but also not too far away for fear that he would forget his own existence.

Ning Lan thought it was time for Sui Yi to calm down. Although he never said it, Ning Lan knew that he liked the idea of ​​being soft when he was injured.

Unexpectedly, Sui Yi's expression did not soften at all, and he asked him coldly: "How much more?"

Ning Lan was stunned: "What?"

In fact, Ning Lan guessed right, Sui Yi is indeed in a bad mood these days, but the reason is not his.

In the past few days, Sui Yi received calls from his father every day. When he hung up, his father would call again. If he turned on the Do Not Disturb mode and refused to answer, his father would send him a text message, saying that the teacher was sick and was hospitalized in XX Hospital.Even though his father sent him the address and bed number, he didn't intend to look at it. The relationship between him and his teacher as a teacher and apprentice had already been exhausted when the teacher intervened in their family of three. The other party failed his trust first. If you have anything to do with them, you have already come to this point in a desperate situation, and it is impossible to turn back now.

The bad thing seems to be an appointment to bump into each other, and Ji Zhinan is also hospitalized.He is such a timid person. When he was a child, he would cover his eyes and call for help when he went swimming. Now that he has been so stimulated, his company actually arranged for him to come out to work so quickly?

Sui Yi couldn't do anything about the two things, but they both lingered in his heart and bothered him for a long time, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to avoid the serious ones.

Right now, Ning Lan is actually unhappy with him, doesn't it mean that the debt has been paid off?Why are you still here to get involved with the old man who obviously has ulterior motives for him?

"I'm asking you, how much more." Sui Yi repeated word by word in a deep voice.

Still in a daze, Ning Lan mumbled, "I...I don't want money."

Hearing what he said, Sui Yi suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled mockingly.

Ning Lan seemed to be poured a basin of cold water head-on, which was tantamount to being publicly executed.

Yes, what is the difference between taking so much money from others and saying that you don't want money, and being a bitch and wanting to set up a memorial archway?

for free?Climb on his bed without money, trying to seduce him with all your might?

Seeing that his face was as pale as paper, Sui Yi inexplicably felt glaring, said "Gather in half an hour", then turned and left.

Ning Lan stood there for a long time, and finally the ringtone of the mobile phone in his pocket woke him up. As soon as he picked it up, his mother Zhao Jinshan yelled loudly that he was in a car accident and was hospitalized. He needed tens of thousands of dollars. If he didn’t give it, he would die here , Ning Lan listened quietly, and when she heard that she was no longer howling, she hung up the phone silently.

This is the third time my mother has been hospitalized in a car accident this month. The recent traffic security in my hometown seems to be not very good.

He walked back along the way he came in in a daze, and when he passed Ji Zhinan's exclusive lounge, he stopped in a daze.

There were people inside now, the cameraman set up the machine at the door to shoot, and Ji Zhinan sat there with a big smile accepting the reporter's interview.Recently, fans have always said that he and Ji Zhinan look alike, he doesn't like being compared with others, and he doesn't like this statement, so he is a bit resistant to getting close to the people inside.

But Ning Lan still remembered that her purpose of coming here was to ask Ji Zhinan for an autographed photo as Sui Yi's birthday present.

Maybe Sui Yi never expected the birthday present she prepared for him, right?Ning Lan thought anxiously, what is he to Sui Yi?A casual thing?Is it necessary to work so hard?

Just like what Sui Yi said just now, he just wanted money, so why did he present so much money in front of him?

He has all the vices that other people have, he is easy going, greedy, aggressive, he still looks forward to it, dreams, and shows Sui Yi all his joy, why doesn't he dodge or refuse, but gives more and more, so much Far outside the normal range and boundaries?

"Then let's move on to the next interview." The reporter inside said to the script, "This question comes from the netizen Feitian Xiaonvpiao. She wants to ask Teacher Ji if she has a nickname?"

Ji Zhinan seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Yes, they all call me Nan Nan, or Xiao Nan." After a pause, he continued, "Actually, I have an alias called Ji Xing that everyone doesn't know about."

"New? Brand new new?"

"No, it's from the stars..."

The cameraman outside suddenly interjected: "Pause, I didn't record it here, let's repeat the part just now."

The reporter waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I made the transcript, let's continue shooting while driving, time is limited, and the show will start soon...Okay, let's continue, the next question is..."

Ning Lan, who was still standing at the door, seemed to be deaf. His mind was in a turmoil, and he raised his hand to touch the earrings on his ears in a daze.

Stars, stars of stars... star stud earrings.

Star.

He thought of the movie that Sui Yi opened twice, and each time he only finished watching Ji Zhinan's clip and then paused.

There was also Sui Yi's almost crazy reaction when Ji Zhinan fell into the water, he didn't even know that his arm was scratched and bled so much.

The earrings were not for him at all, no wonder they were hidden in the suitcase, Sui Yi probably didn't expect him to dig them out.

Ning Lan suddenly felt that she might not only be blind, but also blind.

Sui Yi doesn't look like a star-chaser, he is young and mature, brave and decisive, facing every occasion he says that he has no idol, if he says no, then he really doesn't have one.

No one knows better than Ning Lan the feeling of wanting to get close but not daring to get close. How could it be the state of fans towards idols?

Ning Lan took a deep breath, the repeatedly inflamed and purulent wound on her ear was dragged into a dull pain.

Fragments gathered in the mind and strung together into a reasonable thread.He suddenly remembered that Wang Bingyang read comments to everyone in the car after a live song last month, and a fan said: "Pao Paolan's see-through outfit today looks like the one worn by Teacher Ji, and the face is also similar. Especially the eyes." He was not very happy at the time, said "I don't look like it", then turned his head and asked Sui Yi: "Captain, do you think you look like it?"

What was Sui Yi's reaction at that time?He looked at his face, opened his mouth, and moved his neck slightly.The light in the car was too dark, and Ning Lan couldn't tell whether he was nodding or shaking his head, but only saw the indescribably heavy mist in the depths of his pupils, and within a short moment, he hid himself as if he had never appeared before.

But Ning Lan remembered this look, and pondered it over and over in her heart, trying to take it as proof that Sui Yi treated her differently, and maybe even liked her.

It was the first time that Ning Lan felt that having a good memory was such an abominable thing.

... He still doesn't believe it.

He opened the mobile browser with shaking hands, and entered the three words "Ji Zhinan" in the input box. The numbers behind the birthday column, like a knife hanging over his head, finally fell down.

March 3, 18, bank card password 0318, Sui Yi's birth year, Ji Zhinan's birthday.

Not long ago, Ning Lan secretly changed all her passwords to 940109, saving such a charming thought that she dared not reveal.

——Your birthday in the year I was born, I will engrave you in my life.

In this relationship, he is humble, fearful, and stubbornly looking for a proof, leaving an indelible mark where others can't see, naively thinking that this is called romance.

But romance should be warm and sweet, not as cold as ice mixed with blood like now, and the ice slag can't be melted away, turning into ice blades and piercing his heart, making him almost die of pain.
