Chasing Tides

Ning Lan's cold worsened on the day of filming the makeup photo of "Overturning the Country". The reason is that she has been too intemperate these days.

Last night he was still pestering Sui Yi until the early hours of the morning, and it seemed that he could only find this way to get close and blend with him. He lived every day as if it was his last, eagerly longing for something.

Today he was wearing a turtleneck, which he borrowed from Fang Yu.Fang Yu pinched his thin cheeks, and worriedly told him not to let the captain succeed all the time, Ning Lan smiled, if Sui Yi was not interested in his body, he would be in a hurry.

When changing clothes, he pulled the neckline up to cover the hickey on his neck.Fortunately, the clothes in ancient costumes were made of a lot of fabrics, which completely covered the red marks on his body that hadn't dissipated.

When Ning Lan walked into the shed, she saw Ji Zhinan in white clothes. When they took the photo together, they were standing far away from each other. When they took the photo alone, Ning Lan finished shooting her own set early. Ji Zhinan had two looks to choose from. Shooting, Ning Lan watched from the sidelines for a while, the shed was empty, and it was so cold that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he went back to the lounge to get his coat to wear.

No one was in the lounge, passing by the place where Ji Zhinan had put on makeup before, he caught a glimpse of something red under the makeup table out of the corner of his eye.

Ning Lan picked it up and saw that it was a marriage certificate.It was quite unusual to find this thing in this kind of place. He opened it to see who was so careless, and saw "Ji Zhinan" impressively written in the column of the bearer's name.

Ning Lan's heart was pounding, there was a kind of nervousness about prying into other people's privacy, and there was also a trace of inexplicable excitement.

Ji Zhinan was married, and he was already married.In the photo, one is Ji Zhinan himself, and the other is also a man, not familiar, not like someone in the circle.Ning Lan quickly scanned the information on it, looked at the door, no one was passing by, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and took a photo of the inside page of the marriage certificate.

After doing all this, his heart was still beating fast, he leaned on the chair and sat down, after he calmed down, he hesitated where to put this thing, when Ji Zhinan came in.

Ning Lan barely maintained her composure, and greeted Ji Zhinan: "Hi, Teacher Ji."

The other party obviously didn't know him, so he looked him up roughly, with doubts on his face.

Ji Zhinan took off his makeup and changed his clothes at this moment. His face was small and his skin was fair, his eyes were big and bright. He had a face that looked good without makeup.Ning Lan thought to herself, no wonder some fans said that the two of them looked alike, and some said that he was a fake version of Ji Zhinan.

No wonder Sui Yi likes him.

Ning Lan stood up and smiled and reached out to him: "I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Ning Lan."

Ji Zhinan seemed to have just remembered that he was such a number one person, raised his hand and shook it back: "Hello."

Still holding his marriage certificate in the other hand, Ning Lan leaned forward and said, "Mr. Ji, you lost something."

Ji Zhinan didn't like being kissed so much and took a step back. When he saw the red book in Ning Lan's hand, his eyes widened and he snatched it away. He felt that his behavior was not very polite, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry. , accidentally lost it, where did you find it?"

Ning Lan pointed under the table: "It's there. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." As she spoke, she raised her hand and made a zipper motion on her mouth, "My mouth is very tight."

After several days, Ning Lan did not disclose this matter to anyone, not because he was so honest and trustworthy, there are two main reasons——

One is that Ji Zhinan seems very guarded. He may be the only person in the circle who knows that he is married. Once the matter is leaked, Ji Zhinan will be the first to suspect him.The entertainment industry has the most twists and turns. It is said that Ji Zhinan's family is also very good. Since his debut, no one dared to provoke him. Ning Lan was afraid that he would not know how he died.

Second, after calming down, he didn't know what to do with this matter.Tell Sui Yi directly?Sui Yi would definitely doubt his motives. Besides, Sui Yi liked Ji Zhinan so much, if he knew that Ji Zhinan was married, he would be very sad.

Before the annual holiday, the AOW members took the time to dye their hair back to normal black. Ning Lan finally got used to seeing Sui Yi's red hair, but he couldn't adapt to the black hair. He touched Sui Yi by the moonlight outside when he slept at night. Yi's hair, poking his palm with the tip of his somewhat stiff hair.

I don't remember who said that people with hard hair have hard hearts, Ning Lan thought, Sui Yi's heart is obviously quite soft.

He felt that he was extremely contradictory, and sometimes he wished that Sui Yi would treat him worse, and worse, so that he owed him less, so he could give up as soon as possible.Sometimes I was afraid that Sui Yi would no longer treat him well, and when I closed my eyes and recalled the times when Sui Yi was cruel or indifferent to him, my heart would still ache as if being grabbed by two hands.

Sui Yi turned over in his sleep, the lower berth was only a few inches wider than the upper berth, and it was not enough to squeeze two big men into it. As soon as he turned over, he was almost on Ning Lan's body. Ning Lan wanted to retreat to the wall, so he tightened his grip. arms, wrapping his waist tightly in his arms.

Whenever this time, Ning Lan has the illusion that she is being cherished.

He decided to keep Ji Zhinan's marriage to himself and never tell Sui Yi.

This taste was so unpleasant that he was reluctant to let him taste it.

The last job before the Spring Festival is the Starlight Entertainment Family LIVE performance.

AOW's seven black-haired members made their debut, which unexpectedly caused the audience to scream.The host asked them if they were afraid of returning home during the Chinese New Year because they were afraid of being beaten when they returned home. Sui Yi laughed and said that he didn’t want to be watched by the neighbors as a little demon fairy. The fans in the audience were amazed. Balala Little Demon Fairy?

The host asked questions on behalf of the fans, and Sui Yi said, "My teammates taught me."

There was a long "Oh—" sound from the audience, and everyone turned their attention to Fang Yu. Fang Yu looked around in a daze, which was automatically interpreted by the fans as shyness.

Ning Lan blinked at the side, never expecting that he could still remember what he said jokingly.

After the live performance was over, the other members went straight to the airport to go home. Fang Yu kindly invited Ning Lan and Sui Yi to his house to play. Seeing Lu Xiaochuan winking at the back, Ning Lan said that he wanted to sleep well and had to catch up tomorrow. The train, Sui Yi also echoed that he wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest.

Fang Yu pulled Ning Lan aside and asked Sui Yi if he wanted to go home with him.

"How is that possible?" Ning Lan said, "He just doesn't want to go back to his home."

"I thought you two were going to get married because of your stickiness."

Ning Lan was dumbfounded: "Slimy? Married?"

"Tsk, in the lounge at noon today, you were sleeping on the table, and the captain got a blanket from somewhere to cover you up, that's called tenderness." Fang Yu sighed.

Ning Lan couldn't laugh or cry: "If it were you, he would cover you with a blanket."

"It's different." Fang Yu said firmly, "I can't tell, it's different anyway."

Ning Lan didn't take this to heart, whoever believes is a fool.

After parting ways at the entrance of the company, the only two people left in AOW returned to the dormitory. Seeing that there were still some ingredients in the refrigerator, Ning Lan cooked a pot of tomato and egg noodles, and fried a pair of chicken wings for Sui Yi to put on it, which was also considered lust. Full of flavor.

Seeing that he was the only one with chicken wings in his bowl, Sui Yi was ashamed to be treated like a child, so he took one for Ning Lan: "You can eat it too."

Ning Lan happily took it, and went shopping early the next morning, frying up a pot of chicken wings and chicken nuggets for Sui Yi.

Sui Yi was dumbfounded, and Ning Lan poked his abs with a smile and said, "Eat more, don't be afraid of gaining weight during the Chinese New Year."

But I have other unreliable little ideas in my heart-he loves fried chicken so much, if he can think of me every time he eats fried chicken in the future, that would be pretty good.

Of course, the large bowl was not finished, and Ning Lan took half of it to the train for dinner.

Sui Yi drove him to the entrance of the high-speed railway station, and he dragged his suitcase around to the old train station, and climbed on the ordinary train with the prefix K.

In addition to saving money, another reason is that he does not really want to go back, but because of the nature of Chinese people looking forward to reunion during the Chinese New Year, he also feels that he should go back to his hometown to see, so he bought a ticket for a slow train, and the train will move slowly after a while. , I didn’t get home until the next afternoon.

He first went to the tube building where his mother lived, found the key in the abandoned milk crate at the door, and opened the door to enter.

There was no one at home, there were a few plates of unrecognizable leftovers on the table, and the kitchen sink was full of unwashed pots and pans.Ning Lan rolled up her sleeves and turned on the faucet. After waiting for a long time, there was no hot water. The natural gas had not been paid for months, so it stopped.

He reluctantly called his mother. Zhao Jinshan didn't know where she was, and the voice on the phone was noisy.

"Why don't you tell your mother in advance when you come back? I'm shopping with my sisters, and I'll be back in two hours."

Ning Lan asked her where the gas card was, but she was not in the mood to listen, instead she was busy bragging to the people next to her, "My son is back, son of a star, a big star on TV..."

Ning Lan hung up the phone, went to the bedroom to look for it, folded the quilt, and swept the floor again, which really allowed him to find the dusty gas card in the corner behind the bedside table.

The small city did not open the online payment service, so he took the bus to the business hall, and on the way back, he checked Sui Yi's circle of friends and posted a plate of dark things. Ning Lan commented and asked what it was, and he replied: Fried chicken.

Ning Lan laughed so hard on the bus that she couldn't take care of herself, so she sent him a voice message to ask what happened. Sui Yi said that she wanted to heat it up and continue eating, but it ended up like this.The two chatted for a while, and Sui Yi asked him if he had eaten. Ning Lan just got out of the car and ran towards the Tongzilou against the howling north wind, and said to the phone, "right now."

Sui Yi also sent a voice over: "Why are there rumors? Are you outside?"

Ning Lan ran to the lee of the corner of the stairs, clutched her phone and said, "No, I'm at home."

When I entered the room, I remembered something, and sent another voice: "Don't cook by yourself, be careful not to burn your hands."

Sui Yi: "What will happen if you burn your hands?"

Ning Lan hesitated for a while and said, "It will rot."

In fact, he was afraid that Sui Yi would not be able to play the piano in the future.Besides, it's a pity to hurt such beautiful hands.

Sui Yi asked him: "Really?"

Ning Lan pretended to be serious and said, "Really, let me know about fried pig's trotters?"

Sui Yi sent a black line expression.

Zhao Jinshan came back only on New Year's Eve, wearing a festive red wool coat. Ning Lan looked flimsy and asked her why she didn't buy a down jacket. Dress beautifully!"

Ning Lan smiled, turned her eyes away and continued cutting vegetables.

In the evening, when the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on TV, the host said that the golden dog was celebrating the new year, and he remembered that this year is also his birth year.He wrapped his old padded jacket tightly around his body and wiped his frozen nose. At this moment, he felt that the north with heating was better, and someone's warm embrace was better.

The bell rang No. 12, and Ning Lan sent Sui Yi a "Happy New Year" on the spot. Sui Yi probably thought it was a group message, and replied "Let's have fun together".Ning Lan curled up in the damp blanket that hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time and looked through the circle of friends. Sui Yi had a New Year's Eve dinner, and the photos were taken casually. Seeing Gu Chenkai's face in the mirror accidentally, Ning Lan was relieved, at least He has family by his side.

Ning Lan cut it out and deleted the words "I miss you" that were left in the dialog box and hadn't been sent yet.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ning Lan went to her uncle's house with big bags and small bags to pay New Year's greetings. Zhao Jinshan followed behind with a late mother's face, nagging along the way that she brought too many things, it's better to stay at home and let her take her time. eat.

After entering the door and sitting down, younger sister Ning Xuan ran out shyly and said "Brother Happy New Year", she looked much more well-behaved and sensible than before, and she didn't open her mouth to ask for money or things.Ning Lan sealed a red envelope for her, Ning Xuan smiled into a flower after weighing the thickness, picked up the envelope and said to go out to play with her classmates.

Uncle and aunt were concerned about his work status. Zhao Jinshan vomited the shells on the ground while eating melon seeds, and said in a strange way: "My son is my son after all, no matter how much money you earn, has half a dime to do with you?"

Aunt Jin Feng was so angry that her face turned pale. When she was preparing for lunch, she came to Ning Lan, who was helping in the kitchen, and said in a low voice, "Lan Lan, don't be stupid. If you have money, you can save it yourself, even if your uncle helps you take care of it." It's all good, give it to your mother, it's a meat bun beating a dog, never come back!"

Ning Lan looked at her aunt with admiration. After not seeing her for a year, she would use allegorical words.

"Overturning the Country" is scheduled to start officially on February 2 after the next year. The crew booked a hotel a few days in advance. Ning Lan has nothing else to do at home except to be a cash machine, so she plans to go there early.

On the day of leaving, Zhao Jinshan did not sleep in uncharacteristically, and went out early in the morning.Ning Lan squatted on the ground to sort out his luggage, touched the plastic water pipe that he placed at the bottom of the suitcase at an angle, and took out the contents to have a look.

The appearance of the bow is very simple, with a bunch of white horse hair stretched on a long, slightly curved piece of wood. Ning Lan imitated the performance of the performer on TV, tightening the bowstring, and slowly touching the tip of the bow with his fingers along the round wood. To the root of the bow, it seems that in this way, I can picture Sui Yi playing the piano in my mind, and I can get closer to him.

At this moment, there were footsteps at the door and the sound of a key turning in the lock.

Ning Lan put the bow back and said without raising her head, "Mom, I'll be leaving in a while. The lunch is ready and it's on the table. Once it's warmed up..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and a pair of men's leather shoes appeared in his vision.

Ning Lan raised her head, the person who opened the door was not Zhao Jinshan at all, but Xie Tianhao who had captured him and imprisoned him in the basement for a whole week.
