Chasing Tides

Sui Yi was on the phone in the corridor outside.

Yesterday he was thinking about how to deal with it to minimize the damage. There was a knock on the door of the room. After opening the door, the man outside punched him without saying a word, and then directly took Ji Zhinan away.

Sui Yi had seen this man before. That day when Ji Zhinan was recording a show and fell into the water, he was the one who jumped to rescue him. Since he knew that Ji Zhinan was here, it meant that he was someone very close to him.At least closer than myself.

Just now, he learned that this man surnamed Qin was Ji Zhinan's legal husband.Sui Yi forgot how she felt at the time, probably a little disappointed, but it wasn't as hard to accept as she imagined.

Ji Zhinan himself didn't show up, and the man surnamed Qin had a cold and hard attitude. He didn't ask the ins and outs of the matter, the cause and effect, and only asked him to hand over the person who administered the drug.

This matter is beyond the scope of Sui Yi's ability to solve it, and he can't settle it by himself. The only way is to ask his father to come forward.

He didn't struggle for a long time between asking and not asking, and the other party didn't wait patiently for him to hesitate.He called his father.

Since he came alone, he never thought about handing Ning Lan over.

After some negotiation, the man surnamed Qin rolled up his sleeves slowly and said, "It's okay to be private, but my people can't suffer in vain. If you young people don't learn some lessons, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn to be human in the future."

Sui Yi had a fight with him, to be exact, he was beaten unilaterally.He has already decided to protect Ning Lan, he can't shirk the wrong things Ning Lan did, and he deserves to suffer.

At this moment, his father Sui Cheng asked on the phone: "Is everything settled?"

"Well, thank you...Dad."

Sui Cheng smiled, sweeping away the malaise in his illness: "Don't thank me, thank yourself, what you promised me, remember to do what you say."

Sui Yi tightened his fingers holding the phone, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone and returning to the room, Ning Lan sat on the suitcase in a daze. Hearing the movement, he looked up at him for a while, then stood up, opened the packed suitcase, took out a bottle of wound medicine and walked towards him.

Ning Lan squeezed some ointment on her hand and rubbed it on the corner of Sui Yi's mouth, but he tilted his head and avoided it.

"My hands are not dirty, I just washed them." Ning Lan stretched her hands forward as she spoke.

Sui Yi felt restless, waved his hand away, and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Ning Lan blinked her eyes and said very slowly, "I'm sorry...thank you."

The two dry words, without any sense of sincerity, made Sui Yi feel less angry that had been suppressed all night.He didn't avoid it anymore, and let Ning Lan apply the medicine to him.

Although Ning Lan's fingers are not delicate, they are very soft, cool and comfortable to the touch.Sui Yi's eyes just fell on his neck, and the high neckline couldn't block the red marks from being strangled last night. Sui Yi wanted to ask him if it hurt, but then thought about the good things he did, and swallowed the concern that came to his lips went back.

After applying the medicine, Ning Lan stuffed the ointment into the suitcase. Sui Yi said behind him, "Apologize to Ji Zhinan." After a pause, he added, "Don't drink so much in the future."

Ning Lan's back stiffened for a moment, without turning her head, she replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Departing on time at [-] o'clock in the evening, Ning Lan asked Sui Yi to go down first. This building is occupied by relevant personnel from the crew of "Overturning the Country".

There are only steps and no ramps at the entrance of the hotel. Ning Lan's ankle hurts worse than yesterday, which is about half disabled. It is difficult to carry a huge suitcase downstairs. After finally moving down, she looked up and saw a little The familiar man was looking at him coldly with his lips pursed.

As long as Ning Lan has seen anyone with good looks, he can remember them once.This man's name was Qin Weiyu, Ji Zhinan's legal spouse, and his face was the same as the one in the photo on his phone.

Ning Lan looked down, saw the fruit in his hand, glanced at the ring on his ring finger, and sneered, as if laughing at him for being married, but Ji Zhinan had never worn it before. Ring, isn't he as guilty as himself, afraid that others will find out?

Ning Lan carried the suitcase into the trunk and sprained her foot when climbing into the car, but Sui Yi didn't notice.The commercial vehicle has a lot of space, so Ning Lan didn't sit with him, but hid in the corner of the back row and quietly rubbed her ankles.

Rubbing and rubbing, he suddenly realized that he was ridiculous.At least he has an independent personality and is frank and upright. What right does he have to make fun of others, a useless and dirty bastard?

Back in the capital, all members of AOW devoted themselves to the preparation of the first official album.

Starlight Entertainment's star-making system is mature. The repertoire has been finalized years ago. The members have listened to the demo for several months, watched countless dance videos, and practiced on their own. The song was recorded in three days and a new MV was added. Both shots went well.

In addition to the small suits with different patterns and colors, the new main song-playing clothes this time also have a uniform uniform for seven people. Short leather boots and a wide belt make the figure show off.On the day of filming the MV, Fang Yu desperately put things on his shoulders, trying to create the illusion of broad shoulders, and asked Ning Lan if he wanted some too.

Ning Lan was wearing a belt, and it was easily buckled to the inside with a click. Fang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll pad it myself. Your waist is thin like this, and your shoulders are thin enough to match."

Ning Lan looked back at him and said, "This is just right for you."

Fang Yu grinned again: "Isn't it? You're too thin, and girls' waists are not as thin as yours."

Ning Lan pinched her torso, her ribs were sticking out one by one, and it felt very rough to the touch. She wondered why Sui Yi hadn't touched her since she came back from J City.

So he ate an extra bowl of rice at noon, and he had to pay for extra food in the cafeteria, but he didn't need money for extra food, so he ate with peace of mind.As the adopted party, it is the most basic professional ethics to cater to the preferences of the golden owner, and this is the only value left for him, isn't it?

Originally thought that after filming the MV, she could wait for the album to be released and play songs everywhere. Ning Lan planned to take advantage of these few days to raise her legs and feet, and by the way, raise some meat.After half a day of rest, the planning department suddenly issued a new task, saying that this time the new song will not only release the regular version of the MV, but also the practice room version.

The reason is that the car accident at the scene at the end of last year is still being discussed by the masses. The company next door has just launched a new boy group, and the two have been compared on various occasions. The things blocked the public's mouths, and the recent episodes of the group have also been postponed temporarily, and replaced with the members' individual talent show.

Zhang Fan did not give up and urged Sui Yi to play the piano again. His position in the team was a facade, and he was half-airborne when he joined the company late. Even though he was very popular, it could not conceal the fact that he was not top-notch in singing and dancing.At first, everyone thought that he would not agree this time, but he thought for a moment and said, "I can't play the piano for the time being. I haven't practiced hand skills for more than a year. Can I play the piano first?"

Of course it is possible, Zhang Fan wept with joy.

Sui Yi and Gu Chenkai prepared a difficult four-hand combo, Fang Yu and Lu Xiaochuan adapted a song, Wang Bingyang and Gao Ming danced, Ning Lan... Ning Lan performed an omelet rice unique skills.

It's not that he was lazy and didn't want to prepare the show, it's just that after the practice room version was filmed, his feet couldn't hold up anymore.The practice room version can be worn in casual clothes. It looks relaxed. In fact, the fixed lens allows everyone to be photographed every movement, and there is no way to hide a little problem. In order not to hinder the team, Ning Lan gritted her teeth and took everyone The movements were all done in a down-to-earth manner. After the last recording, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, and he didn't stand up for a long time.

Sui Yi helped him to go to the infirmary, and when he reached the door, Ning Lan broke away from him, supported the door frame and said, "Just get here, I'll go in by myself. Thank you, Captain."

When he smiled, he narrowed his eyes slightly as before, revealing two small dimples, and his tone was relaxed, but Sui Yi clearly felt that something was different.

Sui Yi nodded and watched him jump in.

Ning Lan went to a big hospital in the afternoon. The doctor in the company's infirmary asked him about his medical history and suggested that he take a film.In normal times, he would definitely be able to bear it and not go to the hospital to burn money, but there are still several performances in the future, and his contract is still nearly two years away, so he can't afford to have leg problems at this time.

Ning Lan gritted her teeth and hung up an expert account. The orthopedic surgeon who is on duty today is a middle-aged uncle. After looking at the film he took, he pulled down his glasses and stared at his face: "Young man, what are you doing?"

"A doctor." Ning Lan said.

"I asked what you do and what kind of occupation you have."

"Oh, a singer for now."

Doctor Mao said suddenly: "Let me tell you, I know you, and my daughter likes you very much."

Ning Lan smiled and said, "You may be mistaken, I look a bit like a certain movie star."

The doctor pushed back the glasses: "It's you, can I see it wrong? Bubble Lan, strawberry flavor, right?"

Ning Lan nodded in surprise, then cheekily asked the doctor if he could make it cheaper.

With a swipe of the pen, the doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines for him, and said, "Young man is interesting, and he knows how to be diligent and thrifty. But this hospital sets the price uniformly, so it can't be cheap. Your ankle was injured when you were young, and it is reasonable to say that it is not suitable for jumping up and down. Vigorous exercise. But I have a good suggestion for you."

Ning Lan was thirsty for knowledge and listened attentively.

The doctor took out a blank piece of paper: "Come, sign and tell you."

Ning Lan swiped the signature, and asked the doctor's daughter's name, and gave a fancy TO signature.

The doctor was very satisfied, and he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "When you leave the hospital, turn left and then right, and go to the insurance company to get accident insurance for your legs."

Ning Lan scoffed at this, thinking that the doctor might have reached some kind of underground deal with the insurance company.

When I returned to the company and thought about it, I felt that it made some sense.

He went to ask Fang Yu, "Have you bought insurance for yourself?"

Fang Yu: "How do you know?"

Ning Lan then thought that it was not uncommon for this young man with traditional thinking to do such old-fashioned things, but Fang Yu told him that Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang also bought insurance, saying that this profession has high returns and high risks. If you were injured while dancing that day, or were stabbed and disabled by black fans, you could leave a lot of money for the family.

Ning Lan was terrified when she heard this, and thought that based on the number of black fans, she should be the one who should buy insurance, right?

What are you waiting for, go now.

Fang Yu volunteered to be his consultant, and the two went to the insurance company together.

On the way, Fang Yu hesitated to ask him what happened to his foot. Ning Lan could tell from his expression that he was thinking in a crooked way, and said calmly, "I accidentally fell while filming."

Fang Yu was still not reconciled, and when Ning Lan was filling out the form, he leaned over and asked, "You and the captain... what do you usually play? The day you came back, one had a neck injury and the other had a mouth injury..."

Ning Lan bent her lips: "There are more places you can't see."

Fang Yu turned pale with shock, thinking that the two of them had entered the alphabet circle.

Ning Lan didn't expect him to understand this, so she couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding, I have nothing to do with the captain, put away your wild imagination, my flower."

Fang Yu was mad with anger, Ning Lan's mouth was too strict, and he couldn't pry anything out.He decided to break off with him for an hour.

An hour later, the two were standing downstairs in the dormitory. Ning Lan insisted that her feet were fine and she didn't want Fang Yu to send them upstairs.

Fang Yu, the road killer, turned his car around downstairs with difficulty, drove up to Ning Lan, lowered the window, and said, "If you're not happy, don't get along with him. Yes, anyone who follows him will go crazy."

Ning Lan was amused by him again: "Your CP fans will cry if they hear what you say."

Fang Yu rubbed his head: "Don't mention this CP to me, it hurts my brain... After all, the younger brother of the old hooligan is also good, at least it is tender and juicy, and you won't suffer if you try it."

Ning Lan's forehead twitched, Sui Yi was too tender for him, and he actually encouraged him to attack minors, who should do things?

When Sui Yi came out of the shower when he returned to the room, Ning Lan jumped over to help him wipe his hair. Halfway through, Sui Yi turned to look at him. Seeing his deep eyes, Ning Lan put down the towel and said, "I'll take a shower first. I've been running all day and I'm sweating."

Sui Yi held him down, stuttering rarely: "I didn't say I wanted...to think about that."

He just heard that Ning Lan had gone to the hospital, so he was a little worried.

"Oh, good." Ning Lan continued to brush his hair with her usual expression.

On April 4th, AOW's first official album was released, and a series of song-making activities came as scheduled. The seven people were so busy that they didn't touch the ground. After the first round of intensive promotion, it was already late April.

The frequency of a performance in one or two days made Ning Lan's injured foot overwhelmed. This year's fans are very demanding. If there is nothing to do, they will analyze their personal pen-hold shots and criticize his shortcomings in two places. Occasionally, a few voices will come out Saying, "Pao Paolan was injured, it wasn't because she didn't dance well on purpose", and she was pissed off.

"Which idol didn't have a fever and come on stage with a little injury? I sprained my foot while filming in March, and it's still not healed. Who are you fooling?" Ning Lan read it in front of everyone, and then bowed sincerely , saying, "I'll try."

Sui Yi suddenly said to him before going to bed at night: "It's really uncomfortable, don't hold on, please take a leave and don't play."

Ning Lan stood up and jumped a few times, proving that she had good legs and feet: "I'm fine, thank you Captain for your concern."

Seeing that he was going back to the crew of "Recovering the Country" in early May to shoot the location, Sui Yi applied to Zhang Fan to send Ning Lan an assistant on the grounds that the mountain environment was bad. After the approval, Ning Lan came to thank Sui Yi: "Thank you, Captain, Actually, I can do it by myself, don’t worry about me.”

Sui Yi was not feeling well, and always felt that something was wrong.Recalling Ning Lan's overjoyed and shy reaction when she was taken care of by him in the past, she felt a little strange.

After the incident that both of them avoided talking about, Ning Lan's attitude towards him has changed subtly.

Ning Lan might want to whitewash the peace, pretending that nothing happened, but it's a pity that she didn't pretend well, her cautiousness and politeness were all written on her face.

Moreover, he took off the pair of earrings and never wore them again.

When he noticed this, Sui Yi felt both relaxed and inexplicably restless, as if the nameplate he had hung on the toy had disappeared.

The proof that the toy belongs to me is gone.

The night before Ning Lan left, Sui Yi didn't sleep well, and tossed and turned all night, the person on the lower bunk didn't climb up to throw herself into her arms.

The next morning, Sui Yi's face was gloomy as if the rain was about to come, Ning Lan checked his luggage again, and when he dragged the suitcase to leave, he finally couldn't hold back and said, "Take that bracelet, keep it safe, Filming in the mountains is dangerous."

Ning Lan felt surprised, but she didn't dare to disobey the order of the gold master. She took out the bracelet and put it on. The bright red beads made Ning Lan's wrist more fair and delicate.

The kind of exquisiteness that makes people want to hold it in their hands.

Seeing that Sui Yi's face softened a lot, Ning Lan's hanging heart was relieved.

He fiddled with the string of beads in the waiting room, and his assistant Mi Jie yelled: "Wow, what a beautiful bracelet!" Then he approached him and asked in a low voice, "Did it come from the partner?"

Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the day when his ears were pierced, the proprietress asked him if the earrings were given by his girlfriend. At that time, his joy was almost overflowing, and he wished that the whole world would share his sweetness, but now his heart is empty one slice.

He shouldn't think about it, and he doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

Ning Lan shook her head: "No, it was a gift from a friend." After thinking for a while, she added, "Ordinary friends."
