Chasing Tides

Before Sui Yi joined the group, there was still a magazine cover shooting job.

The shooting took place in the afternoon, and Sui Yi took Ning Lan back home in the morning.

The weather was warm and cold in early March, when the car drove into the yard, Ning Lan saw a few magnolias budding against the wind in the flower bed, and further ahead, two middle-aged men stood at the door to welcome them.He had seen the smiling one before, he was Sui Yi's teacher, and the other serious one must be Sui Yi's father.

Along the way, the teacher called several times to confirm the location of the two of them, so as soon as they entered the door, hot refreshments were served.

The teacher told them to sit down, and said to Ning Lan, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just prepared some."

Sui Yi brought a cup of hot milk to Ning Lan, and pushed strawberry and cocoa flavored snacks towards him. Sui Yi winked, indicating that his elders were present, and restrained himself a little.

The teacher was very happy to see the two of them well. After asking about their recent situation, he took out a booklet and showed them the house they had chosen.

Ning Lan does not plan to sell the real estate left by Granny Zhang.Recently, many paparazzi and fans flocked to Quanxi. It is not convenient for him to show up in the past. The canteen has already planned to sell it to Aunt Jiang next door. The most important thing now is to find a place to live.

The teacher looked for duplexes and jumping floors. Ning Lan just looked at the floor plan and felt pain. Taking advantage of the intermission when the master and apprentice were tired from discussing, he whispered his opinion: "I think living in a dormitory is fine, there is no need... "

"No, the house is too old, and the security of the property is not perfect."

I don't know if it was because of being in his own home, but Sui Yi was a lot tougher, even if he explained, his tone carried a force that could not be rejected.

Sui Cheng, who had been silent beside him, shook the newspaper and coughed twice.Ning Lan rolled her eyes inwardly, and took a piece of cake to cover her mouth.

Before lunch, Sui Yi was called to the study by Sui Cheng to talk. The teacher sat next to Ning Lan with the booklet in his arms: "Take a look, kid. If you really don't like it, I'll find others for you."

Ning Lan panicked when he was called "children". He was almost thirty, and the teacher looked not much older than him. He waved his hands again and again: "It's all good, I don't know about houses, you can decide."

The teacher stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I knew that Sui Yi's child would not be ashamed to tell you directly, no wonder you didn't participate in the discussion just now."

Ning Lan blinked, not knowing why.

Seeing his expression, the teacher lowered his voice and asked, "He hasn't proposed to you yet, has he?"

On the way to the studio after lunch, Sui Yi rarely talked a lot, and spared no effort to brainwash Ning Lan into a bigger house.The only thing that attracted Ning Lan was the size of the kitchen, but he still found it troublesome to clean. Sui Yi raised his hand and said to leave it to him. Ning Lan neither approved nor objected, and looked at him sideways with a smile.

Sui Yi was furiously stared at by him, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Ning Lan thought of the "marriage proposal" and "marriage room" that the teacher told him just now, pursed her lips, and said vaguely: "No, I see you are handsome."

Every day on Sui Yi's Weibo, there are tens of thousands of fans who praise him as the best in the world. It stands to reason that he should have been immune a long time ago. Faintly flushed.

There are three sets of costumes for today's shooting. When Ning Lan entered, she was shooting a set of costumes. The crisp clothes and leather short boots outlined Sui Yi's tall and straight figure.His appearance is Zhou Zhengying, and his slightly sunken eye sockets add a charming sense of mystery. This reminds Ning Lan of his first movie "Night Play", thinking that it's no wonder those characters who are both good and evil love to find him. He shoots.

Afraid of affecting their work, Ning Lan came out after watching for a while.After sitting on the chair in the corridor for a few minutes, the door of the nearby studio suddenly opened, and an old friend whom I hadn't seen for many years walked out.

Ji Zhinan also came to take photos today, and he was going to check in on the birthday party tonight. The person on the phone said he was waiting at the door and told him to come out.After hanging up the phone, he continued to walk towards the exit, suddenly facing the person in front of him, the sweet smile on his face froze for a moment.

"Hello, Teacher Ji." Ning Lan greeted him.

In Ji Zhinan's impression, Ning Lan had retired from the circle for a long time, and she never expected to meet again here.He had nothing to say to him, so he nodded in response.

Ning Lan knew that Ji Zhinan was not in the mood to greet him, and he didn't want to waste his time, so he lowered his head and said straightforwardly: "I'm sorry about what happened back then."

Ji Zhinan was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and then said relaxedly: "It's okay, someone has already apologized for you. It's been so long, there's no need to take it to heart."

His face was as usual, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, without the slightest negative emotion, obviously he really didn't care about it anymore.

The burden that had been on her heart for many years disappeared in an instant, and Ning Lan was finally relieved.

Time is precious, and it is too late to enjoy the beauty of the moment, so why bother to focus on those unpleasant memories?

Back at the residence, Ning Lan began to help Sui Yi organize the luggage needed to enter the group.He made a record in the notebook a few days in advance, put it in the suitcase, and crossed it out in the notebook. The whole process was orderly.

Sui Yi couldn't be happier, thinking that Ning Lan's rush to pack his luggage was driving him away.

After packing up, Ning Lan checked it twice, closed the box and turned around, saw the angry kid next to him, held back a smile and poked his face with his index finger: "Mr. Fugu, this is not handsome."

When she saw Ning Lan take out a white plastic water pipe from the cabinet, the dark clouds covering Sui Yi's face faded away, and her eyes straightened.

"I planned to give it to you on your birthday, but the luthier was short of materials, so I waited for two months." Ning Lan pulled out a long and thin bow from it and handed it to Sui Yi, "Try it , if it doesn’t work, I’ll go to him for after-sales service.”

How can the things that the baby gave you not work well?

Sui Yi put rosin on the bow on the spot, and played a serenade for Ning Lan, almost falling asleep after listening to Ning Lan who had been tired all day.

When she loosened the horse hair and carefully put the new bow into the piano case, Ning Lan, who was resting on her chin, yawned and asked lazily, "Don't you have anything for me?"

Sui Yi paused for a moment, closed the piano case and pressed the buckle tightly, and said, "Wait a minute."

Then, he took out a jewelry box from the drawer, Ning Lan's heart beat suddenly quickened, and she became energetic, straightened her back and waited for his next words.

"A few beads were cracked, I picked a few more and added them in, wear them to see if the size fits."

As Sui Yi said, he opened the box, and there was a delicate red agate bracelet inside.

Ning Lan seemed to be on a roller coaster, with ups and downs. When she learned about Sui Yi, she was moved to pick up the violin for him. She pushed the box away and said, "Go to bed first, and I have to get up early tomorrow."

Lying down for a while, from the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of Sui Yi standing pitifully holding the box, sat up helplessly, picked up the string and put it on his left wrist, said through gritted teeth, "I like it very much, thank you."

Sending Sui Yi to the airport the next day, Ning Lan asked again as he approached the security checkpoint: "Is there really nothing else for me?"

Sui Yi was stopped by his question, her eyes were confused. After a few seconds, she took off her mask, held Ning Lan's face, and kissed him on the forehead.

Ning Lan: "...You better leave quickly."

Sui Yi didn't understand what had offended him again, so she sent him a text message two hours later as soon as the plane landed: [Baby is not angry]

Ning Lan had nothing to do with this big baby who couldn't even coax people, sighed, and replied: [Don't be angry, go to the residence and pack your luggage first to see if there is anything missing]

Sui Yi: [I'm very happy]

Ning Lan: [... Is the crew having dinner? 】

Sui Yi: [Baby will help me pack my luggage for the rest of my life]

Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, recalling that year at the airport, the verbal contract that the two of them had casually reached in a complex relationship of heartbeat and ignorance, has actually come true now.He looked up at the warm spring scenery outside the window, raised the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "Fool."

After Sui Yi left, Ning Lan went back to Quanxi first, and went through the procedure of handing over the commissary with Aunt Jiang, and helped her sort the goods by the way.

When he was about to leave in the evening, there were still a bunch of people gathered at the door, most of them came to watch the fun, and there were also a few familiar fans of Ning Lan. Among them, a girl stretched out her arms and handed him a small basket: "Fresh strawberries , go back and wash before eating!"

Ning Lan didn't plan to return to the entertainment circle, and had nothing to give back, so she took a few boxes of chocolates from the store and gave them to them.

The girl who gave the strawberries had an idea, and asked mischievously, "Is this wedding candy?"

Ning Lan just smiled and didn't answer.

That night, the photo of Ning Lan smiling and "handing out wedding candies" was posted on the Internet. It happened that the CP fans who were chasing waves in the Sui Dynasty ushered in the spring. Everyone knocked down the candy until they fainted. Occasionally, a few discordant voices said, " The captain didn’t even admit that you guys are just talking nonsense here,” and was quickly suppressed by cheers and screams.

In their eyes, this pair of CPs has already confirmed their true love, and it doesn't matter whether they talk about it or not.Of course, if you can publicly propose a marriage and post a marriage certificate or something, everyone will certainly be happy to hear it.

Recently, Ning Lan picked up his old trumpet, strictly followed the psychiatrist's advice to "face yourself directly", and went to the major supermarkets every day. This day, I happened to see a diamond ring called "Guess the diamond ring from the captain." How big is the vote, clicked in and chose the option of "I'm too timid to send it (just kidding)" without hesitation, and commented: The captain is super cowardly.

Then the Weibo account "captain's eight-pack abs" was mercilessly ridiculed by fans, saying "Our captain is so cool, how could he be cowardly hahahahahaha", Ning Lan was so angry that he cut Weibo and went to the food blog Comment on the main account.

The theme of yesterday's video was "Love Bento". In fact, he didn't know what to make. Sui Yi was not at home, too lazy to go shopping and cook, so he used the leftover ingredients in the refrigerator to make a set meal for one person.

There are all kinds of things in the comments, and most of them are meaningfully asking who he made it for. Ning Lan chose one and was about to get a fan and say "I made it for you" when she heard a ding dong, and the message interface popped up A new comment from a mutual follower.

AOW Sui Yi: Mine.

The turbulent waves caused by this comment on the Internet will not be shown for the time being. In the past few days, Ning Lan's research has concluded that as long as she surfs the Internet or turns on the TV, her understanding of Sui Yihong's level will be refreshed.

For example, on Ching Ming Festival, after sweeping Granny Zhang’s tomb, Ning Lan checked Weibo on the way home. The most popular post was “Sui Yi was in a hurry late at night, suspected to be exchanging scripts with actresses from the same crew”.

Ning Lan quickly scanned through the manuscript, and then gave a thumbs up with a blank expression.

Sui Yi's side was the highlight of the scene today, wearing a thin vest and filming from morning till night, finishing work after nine o'clock.

It was drizzling, and the air was damp and cool in the early spring in the south. Mi Jie handed him his jacket and said mysteriously, "There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Sui Yi was busy using his mobile phone to see if Ning Lan had replied to him, but when he turned on the screen, there was not a single unread message, so he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, and said in a muffled voice, "Bad news."

"You and Huang Xiaoxi have been dragged out again."

Sui Yi's forehead twitched: "What's going on?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Today, a marketing account posted a photo of you and her going in and out of the hotel on the Internet. The author made a fool of himself. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that you have been stalked. Brother Wang is already planning to declare it. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." , nothing will happen."

The last two sentences seemed to point to something, Sui Yi closed his eyes wearily, raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows: "What's the good news?"

Mi Jie chuckled, seeing no one around, covered her mouth and whispered: "Your family is here to visit, I will give him the room card, and let him go to the hotel to wait." Take credit, "Am I awesome?"

Sui Yi couldn't boast.

When these two pieces of news collide, the so-called "good news" will be greatly discounted.

However, the desire to see Ning Lan prevailed, and Sui Yi ran all the way back to the hotel without waiting for the crew's car.

When Ning Lan came to open the door, she had no expression on her face. Sui Yi followed him in, her heart pounding. Before she could catch her breath, she surrendered and said, "I have nothing to do with Huang Xiaoxi. In the photo, work was late that day, and the lead actor was sitting on the set. I arrived at the hotel with my car, and we separated when we entered the door."

Ning Lan didn't say anything, she just sorted out the things she brought.

Seeing Ning Lan's attitude, Sui Yi completely believed that he came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, and raised his hand solemnly: "I swear."

Ning Lan didn't hold back, and burst out laughing, took out a square thing from the suitcase with the check-in slip attached, untied the insulation bag outside, took out the lunch box and put it on the table, and said, "I swear no Eat my cooking?"

Sui Yi took a closer look, and immediately put down his hands: "Eat, eat."

Ning Lan patted his hand on the lunch box away: "Give me the things first."

"what?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Ning Lan pushed him to the edge of the bed and sat down, straddled him with her legs apart, and glared at him fiercely: "If you don't give it, don't eat."

Sui Yi went to ask the teacher later, knowing that his deeds had been revealed, he could naturally guess that Ning Lan was asking him what he wanted.But he always felt that the preparation was not enough, either the environment was not suitable, or the atmosphere was wrong, in short, it was just a little bit worse.

"Wait for me for a while, okay? Just for a while."

Ning Lan immediately lost his temper by his pleading words, and muttered, "What are you waiting for, I'm already 29..."

Sui Yi was amused by his plaintive tone, pressed the back of his head and leaned forward, kissed his almost transparent white face under the light: "You will always be in my eyes."

Ning Lan felt numb, her ears were hot, and she said stiffly: "I was 23 the first time I saw you... Go find your Huang Xiaoxi, the first time you two play together, don't you just act as a student couple, forever, Go, go, go."

Sui Yi was amused by his unreasonable logic, turned back and pushed him on the bed, and blocked his nonsense.

I didn't eat the bento, so I ate something else first.

After eating, Sui Yi hugged Ning Lan, who had been softened into a puddle, to take a bath, returned to the bed excited, lay on Ning Lan's body, kissed his face, kissed his ear, kissed the mole at the corner of his eye, and then went to I kissed his collarbone, feeling that every inch of his skin was so good, nothing could be enough.

The furry head moved to the waist, and the rough hair rubbed against the itchy flesh, making Ning Lan giggle. He reached out to push Sui Yi's head to tell him not to make trouble, but his left hand was suddenly grabbed, and then, A ring-shaped metal object was smoothly placed on the ring finger.

Ning Lan didn't expect that his "for a while" was really only for a while, and she raised her hands and stared blankly for a long time.

Sui Yi was also impulsive, and when he was done, he became stupid, and silently climbed out of bed to eat the cold love bento.

Halfway through eating, he finally gathered his IQ back, and declared his sovereignty to the person who was still in a daze on the bed: "Put this on, and you are mine."

My love bento, my people, are all mine.

Through this class visit, Ning Lan deeply learned Sui Yi's naive side hidden under the prudence.

Before the ring was hot enough, Sui Yi impatiently asked him to change his words.

"What's the change? Isn't it good to shout at ordinary times?" Ning Lan turned over and continued to play with the ring in her hand. The platinum ring was inlaid with a few broken diamonds, which shone dazzlingly from every angle. He couldn't love it.

Sui Yi followed him and climbed to his side: "If you want to change it, change it."

If Ning Lan hadn't made the bento himself, he would have thought that Sui Yi's state was due to drinking some fake wine.

Ning Lan put down her hand and compromised: "What do you want to change? Tell me, let me refer to it."

Sui Yi reminded implicitly: "Two words."

"team leader?"

"No."

"Sui Yi?"

"No."

"Baby?"

"……no."

Ning Lan turned to the other side: "Then I don't know."

Sui Yi tirelessly followed and turned around, expectantly: "Thinking about it again, it was when we first met..."

Ning Lan became angry from embarrassment, covered his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Don't say it!"

After staying on the set for a full week, Ning Lan packed her things and returned to the capital.

Sui Yi thought he covered it up very well, but in recent days he ran to the hotel as soon as work was over. The behavior of "Golden House Cangjiao" is too obvious, and the cast and crew have long since seen through it without knowing it.

On the day Ning Lan left, the two of them got up early in the morning. They were about to say goodbye. They couldn't help but kiss each other in the hotel elevator. The car stopped on the first floor without knowing it.The director, who was about to go for a morning jog, thought in a trance that he possessed stealth skills, and watched the two of them kiss selflessly for more than half a minute on the elevator.

Downstairs, the three walked out of the elevator one by one. Ning Lan was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head. Sui Yi remained calm, protecting Ning Lan behind her, and said good morning to the director respectfully and politely.

The director nodded and said seriously: "Xiao Sui, since you have such a good relationship with the subject, post a Weibo to dispel rumors for us. Who in the crew doesn't know that you have a family? This 'separation of newlyweds' is a scapegoat. We can't bear it."

As soon as the plane landed in the capital, Ning Lan turned on her phone and swiped to Sui Yi's new Weibo.

The photo shows two overlapping hands wearing the same ring, with four simple and clear words: married, do not disturb.

Ning Lan couldn't remember when he took this photo, but felt that Sui Yi's act of announcing it to the world was very childish.

Of course, he himself was not much better. He was almost thirty, and the more he lived, the more he went back, like a young boy who just fell in love.

However, love is probably like this. In front of the person you like, you will always become stupid, want to rely on him, want to be proud of him, and want to give him more in return.

So, Sui Yi, who was thousands of miles away, received a voice message from Ning Lan at noon, which was 59 seconds long.

He clicked on it with excitement, listened attentively to the natural noise for 58 and a half seconds, and finally heard a short "husband" in the last half second.

Then I listened to it countless times again, and laughed contentedly while listening.

Memories are an endless road. Fortunately, the hourglass of time flows slowly. When you stop to rest when you are tired from running, you still can’t help but turn your head to look at the road you have traveled. sweet.

When they met for the first time, Ning Lan patted Sui Yi's car and said, "This is my husband's."

At that time, one of them raised his head pretendingly proudly outside the car, and the other looked at it calmly and curiously inside the car. No one thought that this scene would become an irreversible prophecy.
