Chasing Tides

It's not that Sui Yi didn't show up on purpose these days. Wang Xu helped him apply for a vacation. The company barely granted it for one month, and the work that had already been accepted had to be completed on time.

Sui Yi agreed.He still has a local advertisement, an interview, and the last two episodes of a reality show that he didn't record, so he left early and returned late these days, wearing stars and wearing stars, and going back and forth between the city and Quanxi every day. If he didn't have enough time, he used his sleep time squeeze.

Assistant Mi Jie saw him getting more and more haggard day by day, and couldn't bear to say: "How about... I can help you deliver flowers? Maybe I can say a few words for you."

Sui Yi frowned and shook her head.

Pursue this kind of thing, how can you pretend to be someone else?

That night when he finished work and went back to Quanxi, he saw that the flowers and the recording pen on the window sill in the morning were still there, but the lights in the room were dimmed. He stood guard in the corner for a while, and soon saw Ning Lan and the man come back from a walk , the two were very close, and the man said very ambiguous words to Ning Lan before entering the door.

Fortunately, the man came out with his younger brother not long after he entered, otherwise Sui Yi himself couldn't guarantee whether he would do something impulsive.

Seeing that he was too tired to talk, Mi Jie planned to leave the dressing room for him to rest, and before going out, he warned: "If you need help, you must tell me."

Sui Yi called to her: "Do you still have the Buddhist scripture you read last time? Send me a copy."

"Buddhist scriptures?" Mi Jie was puzzled, "Do you mean "Don't Get Angry"?"

"Correct."

Mi Jie handed him a thick book in her bag: "This is the original edition."

Turning to the first page, the first sentence of the preface is: A person who can only get angry is a fool.

He closed his eyes and exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and then reluctantly began to chant sutras as a "smart person" in order to calm his mind.

What I am going to record today is a talk show. This kind of program is fake when it talks about artistic life, but it is true that it talks about the private life of celebrities.Within 10 minutes of the opening, the hostess changed the topic from acting to classical music, and when the time was right, she asked nonchalantly, "Who influenced you from playing the piano in elementary school?"

Sui Yi: "I want to learn."

"I heard that your teacher is not only a famous violinist, but also your father's..."

The host hesitated to speak, but Sui Yi couldn't see through, and replied directly: "Legal spouse."

"That's right." The host looked suddenly enlightened, and immediately smiled, "Last time someone photographed you buying flowers and sending them home on Father's Day. With an excellent and filial student like your own son, teacher It must be very gratifying."

Sui Yi knew what the host was up to, and said, "Respecting teachers is a traditional virtue."

Disappointed that no information about the family was found, the host flexibly changed the topic: "In the concert that just ended, the invited piano accompanist was Yang Ke, a famous female performer. Ms. Yang never easily accepts such a The audience is very curious about how you invited her?"

"I promised to be an accompanist for her concert at the end of the year, and she just has a schedule."

"I heard that Ms. Yang's son, Mr. Ji, the film king, has a close relationship with you..."

"Where did you hear about it?" Sui Yi asked the host, "Mr. Ji and I are ordinary friends who have cooperated several times."

The host noticed his displeasure, and was unwilling to stop there: "Well...the song "Praise of Love" that you collaborated with Mr. Ji is still talked about by people. To be honest, it was the first time I heard it. At that time, I thought that the two of you were at least close friends, more in harmony than those bound couples."

Sui Yi said: "Because the melody of that song is beautiful and relatively simple, it can produce good results after a little practice."

The host opened the script and pretended to say: "I, a music blind, have done some homework. It is said that "Praise of Love" was composed by the British composer Edward Elgar for his beloved fiancée. I am curious for everyone. , what were you thinking when you played this piece?"

Sui Yi smiled: "Everyone knows that Mr. Ji has a deep relationship with his spouse. Isn't it kind of you to dig a hole here for me to jump in?"

Although he was not good at dealing with such situations, after spending more than five years in the circle, Sui Yi could handle such a small situation.

This is the first time he has officially appeared on a talk show since his debut. The host didn't expect him to be so difficult to fool at such a young age. He immediately showed embarrassment and almost forgot what to ask next.

Sui Yi wasn't completely unreasonable, so he changed the subject: "However, I can answer this question." He paused, his eyes were gentle, "When I was playing that piece, I was thinking of someone."

After the recording of the show, Wang Xu almost knelt down in the background: "My young master, are you trying to scare me to death so that I can be my own master? My knife is already in my hand, just waiting for you to say it, I immediately put it on the producer's neck and threatened him to cut this part."

Sui Yi took the coffee that Mi Jie handed over, but smiled and said nothing.

If it weren't for Ning Lan's current state, he really had the urge to speak out just now.

He wished that the whole world would know that Ning Lan belonged to him, so that no one could think of Ning Lan.

Sui Yi sent Wang Xu and Mi Jie away, and went down to the underground parking lot by himself. Just as he got out of the elevator, he met Fang Yu, who came to record a program in the studio next door, and Zhang Fan and An Lin, who came with him.

Zhang Fan is good at leading singers, Fang Yu took over after her debut as a solo singer, and An Lin has been following him since his solo career.

Fang Yu felt displeased when he saw Sui Yi. He took off his sunglasses and said, "Yo, isn't this our team leader? It turns out that big stars also come to this small studio to record programs?"

Sui Yi gave a "hmm" and said, "What a coincidence."

Every time he provoked, he brushed it off lightly, punched the cotton with his fist, and Fang Yu walked past him angrily, striding forward.

Zhang Fan and An Lin stopped to talk to Sui Yi.

"I heard that Ning Lan was found? An Lin and I are planning to find a time to see him." Zhang Fan said.

Sui Yi nodded: "However, he is not in a good condition and doesn't want to be disturbed. You..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yu, who had already walked to the elevator entrance, turned his head and sneered, "Don't be alarmist here, he just doesn't want to be disturbed by you."

On the way back to Quanxi, Sui Yi thought a lot, and had to admit that what Fang Yu said was the truth.

The voice recorder that was placed on the windowsill on my birthday was still in place the next day.He didn't know if Ning Lan had listened. If he had, why did he still have such an evasive reaction when he saw him in the next few days?That reaction was not shyness, but outright rejection.

Sui Yi is like every kid who expresses his love to his sweetheart, eager to get a response.He was afraid that his offensive would be too fierce to cause disgust, and he was also afraid that he would be snatched away by the enemy if he stood still.

His Ning Lan is so good, he understands better than anyone else what it feels like to be attracted by him, and to be affected by his emotions.

Just thinking about it made him feel anxious, he wanted to see Ning Lan, he wanted to hug him, he wanted to kiss him, and he wanted to never leave his sight.

Sui Yi's hand holding the steering wheel gradually tightened.

But he can't.At least not now.

On the other side at the same time, in a hospital in the capital, Ning Lan was fidgeting on the bench outside the psychological consultation room.

It took less than 5 minutes for Lu Hao to go in. When he came out, his expression was natural. At the door, he made an appointment with the psychiatrist for the next meal, and then took Ning Lan out.

On the way back, Ning Lan hesitated to speak, she couldn't get around to the point when she opened her mouth several times, she picked her hands for a while, and looked out the window for a while, the word "entangled" was written on her face.

"There are nails on the seat?"

"Ah?" Ning Lan turned her head in a daze, "No."

Lu Hao smiled: "Ask whatever you want, don't hold yourself back."

Ning Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind to ask, "Is my illness getting worse?"

"The doctor told you?"

"No, I... guessed."

"Don't guess, you are fine, the doctor said you are much more cheerful than when you came last time."

Ning Lan couldn't help raising her tone: "Really?" After speaking, she felt a little doubtful, and lowered her shoulders, "But..."

Lu Hao looked at him sideways: "But what?"

Ning Lan shook her head, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Lu Hao could guess that it was related to the people who came to Quanxi to see him recently, especially the tallest young man who came the most frequently.

In fact, he hid many things from Ning Lan. For example, he already knew who the young man was and what Ning Lan was originally doing.When he searched Ning Lan's name, piles of negative news appeared on the screen, which was enough to prove how Ning Lan's psychological barrier came about.

However, it was not close.

The psychiatrist told him that there was something Ning Lan was hiding that he didn't want to say, no matter whether he was hit directly from the front or from the side, there was no way for him to reveal anything.

The instinct of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages determines that the more they fear something, the less they want to face it, but if they don't face it, they can only live in that nightmare, consuming themselves day by day.

Thinking of this, Lu Hao's mood became a little heavy.For some reason, he always felt that the matter had something to do with the young man.When they met for the first time, Ning Lan's evasive eyes and trembling body showed that the man held an unusual place in Ning Lan's heart.

Maybe he is the one who can untie Ning Lan's knot.

Seeing Lu Hao frowning, Ning Lan thought he was unhappy, so she asked him what he wanted to eat tonight.

When Lu Hao turned to face him, there was a smile on his face again: "Don't you want to see what the netizens want to see you do first?"

Under Lu Hao's surveillance, Ning Lan picked up his mobile phone, bit the bullet and read a few comments on his Weibo. He happened to pass by the supermarket and got out of the car to buy some fresh ingredients.
