Chasing Tides

In the afternoon of the same day, a well-known paparazzi organization revealed that Ning Lan, a member of AOW, bullied teammates, robbed resources, and was adopted before his debut, tampered with age, abused his biological mother and other negative content. Just retweeted over [-].

Starlight Entertainment's public relations were timely, rebutting the original blog item by item, accusing it of using misleading photos to fabricate non-existent facts to slander its artists, and will soon pursue its legal responsibility.

However, the words in black and white are thin, far less impactful than the original blog, and the comments are full of gloating people who eat melons, mocking Starlight Entertainment's public relations team for their inability, and completely failing to achieve the effect of slapping faces.

Ning Lan hung up the phone and kept refreshing Weibo. After ten o'clock, she didn't see any content related to Sui Yi, and she slowly let go of her hanging heart.

The current situation is the choice made by Zhang Fan and him after weighing-leave other black materials alone, and focus on buying out and suppressing him and Sui Yi.

Zhang Fan thinks that what is exposed is just small things that do not touch the bottom line. The most important thing in the entertainment industry is new things. If you don't believe in officials and idols, just leave it to them to tear it up.

In fact, Ning Lan doesn't care about his external image. The black material is half-truth and half-fake, and the judgment of others is beyond his control. The more he explains, the more he seems to be trying to cover up.It is good that Sui Yi's positive image can be maintained. He is the proud son of heaven, and his life should be smooth. This relationship is a dark spot in his life. The only thing Ning Lan can do is to prevent him from being dragged into the In this filthy mud.

Sui Yi had to shoot a night scene of searching in the mountains tonight, and it was after ten o'clock in the evening when he rested.

He saw the missed call from Zhang Fan in the afternoon on his mobile phone, and called back to ask what was the matter. Zhang Fan said nothing, asked him how the filming was going, told him to go back and rest quickly, and hung up in a hurry.

Sui Yi felt strange, opened WeChat, and saw two messages from Fang Yu:

【Is Lanlan with you? 】

[Still filming?Lanlan has been hacked, you don't care! 】

Sui Yi opened Weibo, and as soon as he refreshed it, he saw that Ning Lan's black material was on the hot list. He hurriedly scanned it, his face turned livid in an instant, changed his clothes and hurried back to the hotel.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, and even topics like "Ning Lan get out of the entertainment industry" were trending, but the person concerned was watching variety shows in the room as if he didn't know anything, and laughed when he saw something interesting.

Sui Yi looked at him with a frosty face: "You can still laugh?"

Ning Lan stood up and stretched, picked up the lunch box on the table as if she had never heard of it: "I'll go and heat you up."

Sui Yi grabbed his arm and asked, "Is that true?"

Ning Lan's smile remained unchanged: "If I say it's false, would you believe it?"

Sui Yi froze, opened his mouth several times, but failed to utter a word of "letter".

Ning Lan knew this would happen a long time ago, so she didn't feel very sad.He knew that there was no room for sand in Sui Yi's eyes, he was that sand, no matter what he said or did, he was not worthy of being trusted or cherished.

Sui Yi held his breath, and said slowly: "I asked you, and you answered yes or no."

Ning Lan nodded in agreement.

"Wang Bingyang's role, did you steal it on purpose?"

"Yes."

"Tamping age?"

"Yes."

"Have you been taken care of before you debuted?"

"That's it."

"Beating your own mother in the street?"

Ning Lan smiled helplessly: "That's sort of it."

That photo captured Zhao Jinshan sitting on the ground, and he was standing there talking to her, didn't he look like he was abusing his mother?

Sui Yi clenched his fists tightly, the muscles on his forearms trembled, and bloodshot eyes burst out. Ning Lan knew that he was angry, but a sense of relief rose in his heart.

I finally said it out. After hiding it for so long, I finally said it outright.

"Then Ji Zhinan was drugged, not because he was drunk, not because..." Sui Yi paused for a moment, without making any other assumptions, and asked directly, "Is it also on purpose?"

Ning Lan met his gaze and said, "Yes."

"Why?" Sui Yi suppressed the anger that was about to come out in his voice.Even though what he saw was Ning Lan's unbearable side, he always thought that Ning Lan would change. His nature should be kind, and human eyes can't lie.

Ning Lan said lightly, "Because I hate him."

I hate his spotless temperament, hate that he has the right to choose and refuse, and even more hate that he can get your love.

Sui Yi raised his hand suddenly, stopped when he was about to touch Ning Lan's neck, stayed in the air for a few seconds and then lowered it, his fingertips were trembling, and every joint was rattling.

He didn't want to be rough on him anymore, but his proud rationality was always wiped out when facing Ning Lan like this.

Anger and frustration raged in his body, Sui Yi couldn't calm down like him, picked up Ning Lan's mobile phone on the table, and ordered him: "Apologize."

Ning Lan blinked her eyes, filtering the color of water floating in her eyes: "What are you apologizing for?"

Sui Yi said in a deep voice, "I apologize for what you did."

"What did I do?" Ning Lan's state could be called a smile, "Why should I apologize?"

Sui Yi looked at his face, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, without any sign of regret or guilt.He didn't think he was wrong at all.

Sui Yi took a deep breath, feeling that standing here reasoning with him was ridiculously ridiculous, he threw the phone back on the table, turned around and was about to leave.

Ning Lan became anxious now, and chased after him to stop her: "Where are you going?"

Sui Yi looked past him and landed on the door at the back, he was afraid that if he looked at him again, he would make some impulsive and terrible actions.

"Don't want to see me?" Ning Lan stared straight at Sui Yi with her dark eyes, stubbornly wanting an answer.

Sui Yi didn't speak, but pushed Ning Lan away and went straight to open the door, Ning Lan staggered a bit, rushed up and grabbed the doorknob before he opened the door, and said without changing expression: "This is your room, I'll go. "

After that day, the two did not see each other for a long time.

The filming period of "Night Play" lasted for two and a half months, and the two leading actors in the middle still had to take time to participate in the recording of "The First Challenge of Love". Sui Yi returned to the capital several times in a hurry, so he didn't have too much time to visit the company come out.

Once again in the airport waiting room, a few front-line fans came in with their cameras and snapped at him, asking him, "Why didn't the captain stay for two more days this time?"

"I still have to film." Sui Yi replied.

Another fan asked, "Will there be a duet with Xiao Hua in this concert?"

"Secret."

The girls laughed together, saying that he had failed his studies, and then asked gossipingly: "Captain, if you were asked to choose one to dance with, would you choose Xiao Hua, Teacher Ji, or Huang Xiaoxi?"

Sui Yi smiled helplessly, not understanding what fans were thinking about all day long.

He didn't answer, and the girls started discussing among themselves——

"Don't mention Huang Xiaoxi, that's for publicity, okay?"

"Ms. Ji is not suitable either, she doesn't look like she can dance."

"Last year I didn't see the captain dance with Xiao Hua, so I don't know if there is hope for this year."

"Actually, Ning Lan danced quite well with the captain last year. I have kept that video in my phone."

"Don't mention Bubble Hei, it's all like this, and there are still people who have no brains to protect, it's really speechless."

Hearing this, Sui Yi frowned almost imperceptibly.

When the plane landed, he searched for Ning Lan's name on the taxi back to the film crew. The popularity of black material about him dropped a lot, and a small number of fans spared no effort to whitewash him under various comments, saying: "Our family is a hot boy. Paolan is not so popular, such a large-scale hacking is obviously something strange, the company has issued a rebuttal statement, I hope everyone will not follow the trend without knowing it, he is really a good boy who works hard."

However, the voice is weak and the power is weak, and the ridicule follows wherever it is sent. One of the AOW fan circles posted a big Weibo to publicly diss Ning Lan and his fans: "What's wrong with boycotting Ning Lan with my real name? He just The black sheep of the woo. Still a 'good boy who works hard'? Your children are all 24 years old, does your mother know?"

This Weibo was openly posted on AOW Chaohua, and a group of comments below echoed and laughed.Sui Yi frowned even more when he saw it. Objectively speaking, the fan said nothing wrong, and Ning Lan himself admitted it, but he was still unhappy.

For a while, he used his busy schedule to squeeze out all the free time, forcing himself to devote himself to work and not allowing himself to think about it.

That night he sat alone in the room for a while, and finally chased him out. Ning Lan left without taking anything, and couldn't find him anywhere. Sui Yi had no choice but to call Fang Yu to find out. Ning Lan has already arrived at the dormitory.

"Captain, I've been holding back a sentence for a long time." Fang Yu said on the phone, "If you don't like him, then stop humiliating him. Is it fun to recruit someone and drive him back after less than a day?"

spoil?like?

Sui Yi didn't understand the meaning of these two words.He and Ning Lan are in a money relationship. He thinks he cares enough about Ning Lan. He has never refused Ning Lan's request. He even tried to do it when Ning Lan asked him to treat him better. How can he talk about practice?

Not long after Ning Lan left, Ji Zhinan from the same crew asked for leave temporarily before a big show due to family matters, which made the director dissatisfied. Sui Yi stepped forward to help him out. The set meal was delivered to Sui Yi's room, only then did Sui Yi know that Ning Lan had already shown her face in front of Ji Zhinan after only one day.

This just proves that Ning Lan refuses to mend her ways after repeated admonitions, and is willing to degenerate. How can she like such a person?

Three days before the concert, Sui Yi returned to the capital to participate in rehearsals.

Most of the songs are AOW's own songs, and the solo part has been practiced countless times in private, and the rehearsal went very smoothly. To boost morale, Zhang Fan treated everyone to a big meal the night before the concert.

Two cars were waiting outside the company, An Lin was the last to arrive, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Ning Lan won't come, she said she was tired and wanted to go back to sleep first."

Sui Yi, who was sitting in the front row, looked up the company through the car window. The lights in the small practice room where Ning Lan often stayed were still on.

Gu Chenkai rolled his eyes, and urged: "Whether love comes or not, we will eat ours, let's go, let's drive."

Back at the dormitory at night, Ning Lan had already fallen asleep, with her back turned to the door, her body was only covered with a thin blanket, and the outline of her thin shoulders and back was clearly visible.

In the past few days, except for group rehearsals, the two have hardly met or spoken.

Ning Lan got a new phone, an old model with a black and white screen and buttons.In the practice room yesterday, Fang Yu complained to him: "I sent you a bunch of pictures on WeChat last night, and only after I sent them did I realize that you changed such an old antique, I was so mad."

Ning Lan smiled and said: "Send me a text message in the future, I can receive text messages, and you can also make calls."

At this moment, the old antique was placed next to his pillow, Sui Yi stared at it for a while, thinking, no wonder Ning Lan didn't like or comment on the recent Moments, he thought Ning Lan was angry with him.

Ning Lan naturally has no right to be angry.

In the last rehearsal before the concert the next day, he suffered a sudden pain in his left ankle, causing his movements to be slow and unable to keep up with the rhythm when changing positions. Sui Yi, as the captain, severely criticized him in front of all the team members. He bowed his head and didn't refute a word.

Backstage, he hid in the empty dressing room. When Sui Yi opened the door and came in, he was eating bread with his hands.

"Why don't you go out and eat with everyone?" Sui Yi asked.

Ning Lan took a bite of the bread and said inarticulately, "I didn't order food, I brought it myself."

Sui Yi wasn't sure if he did this because he was squeezed out, he always acted like he didn't care about anything, Sui Yi didn't even know if he was pretending to rely on him before, and whether he cared about himself at all.

Ning Lan cleaned up a piece of bread, stood up and put her arms around Sui Yi's neck, and kissed him lightly on the corner of his mouth.

Sui Yi was still in a daze, but Ning Lan grinned, wiped off the bread crumbs on the corner of Sui Yi's mouth, and said, "Captain, please do your best for the concert."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, AOW's first concert officially kicked off.

Ning Lan put all the physical fatigue and pain behind her, and with 12 energy, she sang every line of the lyrics and completed every dance move.

The company named this concert "First", which means the first time, but he regarded it as the last time in his heart.He put all his strength into the performance with all the enthusiasm he could burn out. When the audience booed when he introduced himself, he still smiled and bowed deeply to the audience.

For some reason, there is still more than a year before the contract expires, but Ning Lan feels that time is running out. She takes every stage as her last, every day as her last day, and every kiss as her last farewell.

Thinking about it this way, at least I feel better.

Halfway through the concert, when it was Ning Lan's solo track, most of the fans in the audience stopped cheering, and even put away the light sticks together as if they had made an appointment.Ning Lan raised her eyes and saw only a few clusters of light, so dim that one could not see the end of the night.

Just like that night, when he was squatting downstairs in the hotel alone, the surroundings were pitch black, and reality and dreams were pulling each other in his mind. After a while, he clearly remembered that Sui Yi had said that he would be kind to him. The edge rustled, and he was in a trance for a moment, thinking he was dreaming again.

To be cherished and loved by others, what a beautiful dream.

He closed his eyes and slowly chanted—

[I can follow behind you

Sleepwalking like a shadow chasing the light

I can wait at this intersection

whether you will pass

Whenever I lift my head up for you

Even tears feel free

Some love is like rain

But still...]

In the last sentence, Ning Lan held the microphone and moved her mouth, but she didn't sing.

Opening his eyes, the stage was still pitch black, and his heart also sank into bottomless darkness.

Fake, all fake.

He couldn't believe it anymore.

There is only heavy rain in his world, and there is no rainbow at all.
