Chasing Tides

Gu Chenkai said in astonishment: "Brother, don't you know? The company signed a new contract with him, and after the Chinese New Year, he will not participate in the group's itinerary."

After Gu Chenkai finished speaking, he realized what was wrong, covered his mouth with his eyes wide open, and thought quickly in his mind, did Ning Lan keep this matter a secret?

Sui Yi got up, stood in front of Gu Chenkai, and asked him in a deep voice, "Why?"

Gu Chenkai had already made a slip of the tongue, so he simply put down his hands and said, "I can't dance because of my leg injury, and the influence of the previous dirty material is too bad. But the company kept the basic salary during the contract period for him, basic life It's sure to be fine."

Gu Chenkai said it lightly, but Sui Yi couldn't calm down.Ning Lan owed money everywhere, and the mother at home seemed to be supported by him, how could the basic salary be enough for him?

No wonder he asked for leave before and didn't go on stage, and he also stumbled when he walked. He thought it was an ordinary twisted foot before, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Seeing Gu Chenkai's expression dodging, Sui Yi knew that he must have something to hide, so with a little intimidation, all the inexperienced children would be recruited.

"Just, the black material before, it was Gao Ming Wang Bingyang and Feng Qiu who didn't make it into our group. Ning Lan asked me not to tell you, brother, don't tell him that I said it."

Sui Yi's eyes were dark, as if there were turbulent waves churning in them, filled with some doubts.

Gu Chenkai bit his finger in fear: "Actually, I don't think it's a big deal. After all, the video they were talking about hasn't been released. It is said that it is the big news. It must have been suppressed by the company. Brother, you released it yourself. hand?"

Sui Yi's expression turned serious: "What video?"

Half an hour later, Sui Yi, who was driving on the road, got everything he wanted to know from Zhang Fan.

Including what kind of video that is.

Gu Chenkai only knew that Gao and Wang wanted to blackmail Ning Lan. Hearing what they mentioned about the video, he thought it was Ning Lan beating his mother in the street and was photographed. Given his prejudice against Ning Lan at the time, of course he wouldn't. Regardless of this matter, I didn't take it to heart.

Even Zhang Fan was silent for a long time, and was forced to have no choice but to tell the truth by Sui Yi's well-organized guess.

"It's impossible for the company not to protect you. In addition, Ning Lan voluntarily gave up on himself, so the video was suppressed. He didn't want me to tell you, saying that he was afraid that you would be distracted from filming. If he begged me like that, I couldn't help but agree."

The facts were completely consistent with Sui Yi's speculation, but he didn't understand why Ning Lan did this.He originally thought that these black materials were not released directly through the company. Since Ning Lan was the first to know, all he had to do was tell him, how could he not help him?

The heavy rain is about to pour, and the sky is like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open, trying to swallow up the world.The air pressure dropped suddenly, making Sui Yi a little out of breath.

All other possibilities were ruled out one by one, and there was only one reason left - Ning Lan didn't want him to get involved.

It doesn't matter if he is afraid of affecting his filming, or if he thinks he can handle it, Ning Lan doesn't have to give up his stardom and future, it's all for him.

But how did he respond?He used the condescending attitude of the superior, and with strong prejudice and distrust towards him, he questioned Ning Lan without any explanation, forcing him to admit it.

He was the one who called people over, and he was the one who drove them away.

Sui Yi stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light. On the left side of the road ahead was a familiar hotel.It was the first time Ning Lan got into his car that day, and he knew what Ning Lan was going to do, so he sent him downstairs anyway.

Maybe it was from that day that he completely lost his rational judgment on Ning Lan. No matter what Ning Lan did, in his eyes, he couldn't get rid of the shadow of sloppy behavior.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The car window was knocked suddenly, a girl's face was printed outside the window, Sui Yi hesitated for a moment, then lowered the car window.

The girl holding a large bouquet of flowers said: "Handsome guy, buy a flower and give it to your girlfriend when you go back. If you don't have a girlfriend, you can give it to your mother."

The girl probably jumped over the fence and onto the road.This area is a main road, and the traffic jam in the evening rush hour is very serious. Sui Yi drove to this area before and encountered peddlers knocking on the window to sell.

He was upset and just wanted to pass the red light quickly. The girl hurriedly said: "Are you in a hurry to eat? It's going to rain, so you can buy one. People who are waiting for you will be happy when they see such a beautiful flower." of."

Sui Yi accidentally remembered that Lu Xiaozhou seemed to have bought flowers for Ning Lan yesterday, and the fiery red bouquet was placed on the table eye-catchingly, and he couldn't ignore it.

He bought all the flowers in the girl's hand.

As the traffic moved forward slowly, Sui Yi glanced at Hua lying on the passenger seat, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

This feeling is no stranger to him, every time he kissed Ning Lan, hugged, watched him cook for himself, smiled at himself, and put on the earrings he gave him, as if saying When "I belong to you", when you hear his voice and receive his text messages, you can work with peace of mind...

Any time.

This is different from the feelings he has had for other people in the past, it is not yearning, not longing, nor is it friendship.

It was a new flavor he had tasted for the first time in 20 years.

The heavy rain poured down, and the cold rain at the end of winter hit the window and slid down the glass. The fog that was coiled in my heart was also washed away by the cold rain, and the truth gradually emerged.

Sui Yi squeezed the slender fingers holding the steering wheel tightly, and after a few seconds, he let it go again with a long exhale.

He should have realized a long time ago that only by caring will cause chaos.And the more you care, the more you will care about him in every possible way, about his misbehavior, about his depravity and lack of self-love, and about why he doesn't like himself.

It was as if a hole had been poked open in the heart, and the tide gushed out like a tsunami, and all the insincere and uncontrollable words found their source.

I like him.

I've been in love with him for a long time.

When we arrived downstairs in the community, it was already the first lights. When Sui Yi took the elevator upstairs, his heart was beating fast and his breathing was short of breath.

He firmly believed that Ning Lan also liked him, otherwise he would not have done that for him.

His desire to see Ning Lan has never been so urgent, so urgent that he has no time to think about why Ning Lan stubbornly refuses to admit that he likes him.

Open the door with the key, the room is dark, the moment the light is turned on, Sui Yi sees the bouquet of flowers standing alone on the table.

He didn't care to throw it away, and holding the fresh bouquet with a few drops of rain, he pushed open the door of the room.

There is no one inside.

The windows were half-open, and the last person to leave the room probably didn't know that it was going to rain in the evening. The heavy curtains were blown about by the wind, and the rainwater hit the window sill through the screen window, and the floor near the window sill was wet.

In this messy situation, Sui Yi found that the potted plant that Ning Lan raised was missing.

Not only the potted plants, the pillows and dolls on the bed, the "Basic Music Theory" next to the pillow, the slippers under the bed, the odds and ends in the drawers, the clothes in the cabinet...

All proof that a person ever existed, is gone.

Breathing gradually lost temperature in the cold air.

Sui Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed Ning Lan's number. The endless busy tone on the phone reminded him that Ning Lan's mobile phone card was lost, and it was with the mobile phone.

This time he didn't lie.

Sui Yi couldn't remember how many times he looked back.A few times before, when he turned around, he could see Ning Lan standing there waiting for him.

But now, a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart. This terrible feeling spread to all limbs and bones in an instant, controlling his thinking and movements, so that he didn't hear the phone ringing for dozens of seconds.

Press the button and open your stiff mouth: "Hello."

Fang Yu spoke very fast: "Captain, is Lanlan by your side? Please let him answer the phone."

Sui Yi's Adam's apple rolled a few times: "He's not here."

"Not here?" Fang Yu raised his voice a few degrees, "Is he not in the dormitory?"

"No."

"He said he wouldn't go home during the New Year...then do you know where he went?"

Sui Yi thought blankly for a moment: "I don't know."

Fang Yu snorted coldly: "What time is it, Captain, you are not in a hurry."

What's the use of panic, what's the use of being busy?He knew very little about Ning Lan, and he had no idea where he would go.

"Do you know where Ning Lan will go?" Sui Yi asked.

"How do I know, I never slept with him." Fang Yu was extremely hostile to him, and his sentences were stinging, "You might as well check his messages on Weibo, maybe you can find some clues."

Hang up when you're done.

Sui Yi put down the phone, paused for a few seconds, and clicked on Weibo.

He and Ning Lan are in mutual relationship status, and the first post on the homepage is the Weibo post by Ning Lan two hours ago——Sorry, goodbye.

Just five words, but it took his breath away in an instant, making him feel cold from head to toe.

Ning Lan will not come back.

He was such a stubborn person, he could be seen when he turned his head in the past because he didn't want to leave, if he wanted to leave, there would be no trace left, and no one would be able to find him.

Sui Yi stood alone in the empty room, a gust of wind passing through the hall shook his clothes, as if he was being gently grabbed by someone.

But when he raised his head, there were no shadows around, and the smell of Ning Lan had long since disappeared in the air, as cold as if no one had ever been there.

That winter, Ning Lan stumbled into his life, and left quietly in another winter.
