Chasing Tides

Chapter 10

Views:

Sui Yi saw that Ning Lan's lips were trembling, and her wet eyelashes covered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

This is almost the same as the state he was in when he was about to run away at the entrance of the 4S store, but his face was paler, which may have been caused by the fear of being caught first if he failed to escape.

Just now Ning Lan took the money and left in a hurry. Sui Yi walked to the window and saw it was raining heavily. He borrowed an umbrella from An Lin and ran after him. When he got to the door, he only saw Ning Lan's back in the taxi, and he called him from behind. Ning Lan didn't hear the name. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped a taxi behind him and followed.

It turned out that his feeling was correct. The taxi in front did not stop at the entrance of the company, but then turned two corners and stopped in front of the community where the dormitory was located.

He was still expecting a second before knocking on the door. Maybe Ning Lan only remembered that the amulet was left in the dormitory? He acts recklessly and carelessly, which is in line with his behavioral habits. Today is AOW's premiere, and he can't escape like this.

"Let's go, we'll be in right now." Sui Yi reached out to pull Ning Lan, but Ning Lan ducked back, her toes still facing the door, ready to run.

Sui Yi was a little anxious, and scrambled to grab the bag in his hand. Ning Lan wanted to take it from behind, but she forgot that she was still holding something in her palm, and when she moved it, it fell to the ground.

Ning Lan crouched down in a panic to pick it up, but Sui Yi grabbed his outstretched arm and stopped him from moving.

Before the voice-activated light went out, Sui Yi could clearly see that there was a stack of money lying on the ground.

Among the five people who live in the dormitory, Wang Bingyang does not withdraw more than 500 yuan each time. Gao Ming's cabinet is locked. He only takes 200 yuan with him for emergencies. As for Ning Lan, he received two months' salary. , but has been tight. It's easy to see whose money it is.

"Is it Xiaochen's money?" Sui Yi asked again.

Ning Lan let him grab his wrist, and still lowered his eyes: "Yes." After a while, he said, "I have to go."

Although he already had guesses in his heart, this answer gave Sui Yi a resounding slap. He always sees the wrong person and believes the wrong person. He doesn't know if this kind of thing is related to age and experience, or because he is too stupid.

Ning Lan hasn't changed at all. He is selfish and snobbish. In order to betray his teammates, he is not even ashamed of debt and stealing. He is crazy to think that this person has a good nature, because his smile is innocent and pure, his eyes are clear and clean, and he is very similar to that person.

Sui Yi felt that something swelled and fermented in his heart, and it rolled around like it was about to burst through his chest.

Ning Lan worked hard to earn, but if he didn't, Sui Yi could hold both of his hands with one hand, but of course he couldn't. He pushed him with the hand holding the bag, and his voice was a little pleading: "I will pay back the money... I really have to go."

In fact, he had countless sinister tricks to let Sui Yi let go, such as bending his knees and kicking him in the crotch, but he didn't want to do that.

The young man in front of him helped him and warmed him when he was cold, even if it was just out of a sense of responsibility or habit, it was enough to keep him in mind.

Seeing Sui Yi's hand holding his wrist, blue veins burst out, Ning Lan thought to herself, who wouldn't be angry if she did this kind of thing? Sui Yi did not beat him, he was already well-cultivated. His heart was empty, and he repeated in a daze: "I have to go."

After a while, he heard Sui Yi say, "How much more?"

Raising her head to meet Sui Yi's dark eyes, Ning Lan moved her lips and couldn't believe it.

Sui Yi let go of his hand: "How much does it cost? I'll give it to you, you can go to the show with me."

That night, the new boy group launched by Starlight Entertainment this year made its debut at the FocusShow music festival with a complete success. Less than an hour after the seven teenagers performed and left the stage, the topic of the new song #AOWRunaway Planet# was on the top 10 trending searches on Weibo. , until the end of the ceremony, the ranking is still gradually rising.

On the way back in the car, Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai rubbed their heads together to scan Weibo, happily reading comments to everyone.

"When will the single hit the shelves? I'm going to loop it 10,000 times!"

"Singing and dancing are good, V-Wish's junior brother, you can follow it."

"The new boy group with an average age of 18? Young and powerful!"

"Rapper is also good. He is fluent and has no accent... Hey, I'm complimenting you, Brother Chuan."

Lu Xiaochuan rarely squeezed a car with everyone, so he turned his head and said, "This is called bragging? Young master will come back and give them a Chinese-English RAP to show them what it means to be arrogant."

Everyone laughed and laughed.

"Wow wow the tallest one is too handsome... Captain, I'm talking about you!" Wang Bingyang reached out and patted Sui Yi's shoulder in the front row.

Sui Yi leaned against the back of the chair and looked out the window with his arms folded. Hearing this, he turned around with a tired expression: "What?"

Gu Chenkai, Wang Bingyang: "My brother is tired, let him rest."

The two continued to get together to read the comments. During the performance just now, everyone was so nervous that nothing went wrong. The normal level in the practice room was brought out. The stage performance was complete and tense, especially the relatively hot song "Leaving the Planet", which was matched with advanced sound system. And lighting effects, the strong rhythm of the chorus part caused a sensation in the audience.

The CUT video circulating on Weibo is almost a large circle of fans. In addition, a wave of navy and marketing accounts bought by the company has contributed to the fire, and even the praise of "the light of the national men's team" has appeared. The teenagers are both happy and happy. Uneasy, can't wait to get affirmation and advice from the comments, and strive to perform better next time.

"Is the black jacket the one that was airborne? It looks better than the photo..." Wang Bingyang read halfway through and held up his phone to Ning Lan next to him, "Brother Lan, you look good!"

Ning Lan was distracted, Wang Bingyang pushed him several times before his erratic eyes focused and he turned his head slowly.

Wang Bingyang continued to read: "It's just the weird hairstyle, let's go to the company for dim sum."

Ning Lan touched her hair subconsciously. She was walking in a hurry at the time and got two waves of rain. Most of her fluffy hairstyle collapsed. When she returned to the scene, she just blew it with a hair dryer and sat down. There was no time to take care of the costumes. He was sweating all over his body, and before he finished dancing a song, he noticed that the bangs on his forehead were sticking to his forehead disobediently. At that time, his thoughts were so chaotic that his ears fell and he didn't care, and he could hold on to two songs. It's not easy to end without mistakes.

"Didn't the captain come to you with an umbrella? How come you two are still like chickens, your makeup is all drenched?" Fang Yu asked.

Ning Lan forced a smile: "The umbrella is too small to keep out the rain."

When they arrived at the company, they parted ways. Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu went back to their respective homes. The parents of Gu Chenkai, Wang Bingyang, and Gao Ming came here on a rare visit and took their children out to celebrate. Sui Yi rejected the invitation of Gu Chenkai's mother, his aunt to have dinner, saying that he wanted to go back to rest, and then walked back to the dormitory with Ning Lan.

It was still raining outside, Ning Lan opened her umbrella, hesitated for a moment, but caught up with Sui Yi and walked side by side with him, slowly tilting her umbrella towards him.

Sui Yi didn't respond very much, and there was no emotion on his face. He took a big step, and Ning Lan was holding an umbrella. He almost had to run to keep up with him. When he reached the stairs, he was out of breath, and half of his body was wet again. Described as embarrassed.

Back in the dormitory, Ning Lan first wiped her face with a towel. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, Sui Yi took his mobile phone and asked him for the card number. Ning Lan went back to the house and pulled out the bank card and reported it to him, and soon received a text message.

"The upper limit is reached, and the rest will be called tomorrow." Sui Yi said.

Ning Lan nodded, picked up the notebook beside the bed and tore off another piece of paper: "I'll write you an IOU."

"No," Sui Yi said without any warmth, "IOUs that have not been notarized have no legal effect."

Ning Lan put down the pen a little at a loss, bit her lip, and said, "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

After speaking, he remembered that he had said the same thing to several creditors, and even made the new creditor in front of him hear it once. The word "as soon as possible" was almost nonsense to him.

Sui Yi still had no expression, and obviously didn't take his promise to heart. He put the phone back in his pocket and said, "I hope you will abide by the agreement and stay in AOW until the contract expires."

Half of the word "money" was not mentioned, but it made Ning Lan's heart sink like a rock falling off a cliff.

Later, it took Ning Lan some time to realize that money is not important to Sui Yi at all, he helped himself to keep the group. Like Gu Chenkai, he is the eldest young master who spends money without pain. Naturally, he doesn't understand that money means not having to sell the body, and means freedom and tomorrow for the destitute.

Selling conscience and breaking promises for a little money is what Sui Yi can't understand.

On the second day of their debut, AOW's new song MV and music source were launched simultaneously. It was brushed to the top of the music chart before the morning passed. Starlight Entertainment official Weibo hit the iron while the iron was hot and released two new news: 1. AOW will be a guest tomorrow night. Orange Live Room; 2. The physical version of AOW's first single is about to go on sale, and a one-and-a-half-month nationwide signing event will be launched from the end of the month.

On the night of the live broadcast, Ning Lan received a call from her mother. Xie Tianhao was violent, but he kept his promises and let him go after receiving the money.

"You white-eyed wolf, you even told Jin Feng to change the phone and didn't tell me. Did I give birth to you? Did you give her a lot of money behind my back?" Mom asked him in a shrill voice on the phone.

Jin Feng is the name of my aunt.

Ning Lan pinched her brows and said, "No, I have to work, so I will hang up first."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Mom called to him, "Where did you get the 200,000 yuan? Do you have any money left? Mom's money is a little tight lately..."

Ning Lan hung up the phone without saying a word and set the phone to mute.

The location selected for the live broadcast is an empty studio. The host of the Sweet Orange Live Room loves to let the guests play some weird games. This time, a small game of tacit understanding between the members of the postgraduate entrance examination has been specially designed for AOW, so that everyone can play together. Two groups. Sui Yi is the most popular, and the barrage is swiping him. He does his part to get the right of priority, and the host asks those who want to cooperate with the captain to raise their hands.

Ning Lan was afraid of being single and raised her hand silently.

Everyone raised their hands, and Sui Yi chose Fang Yu.

Ning Lan unexpectedly landed the order, formed a team with the host, and finally lost the game unexpectedly.

The punishment is very interesting. Let him choose someone to bite off a pocky chocolate bar together. The host first stated that he could not choose himself for the effect of the live broadcast. Ning Lan stood awkwardly in front of the camera with a chocolate bar, swept around the six people standing in front of her, gritted her teeth and chose the captain Sui Yi again.

Gao Ming and Gu Chenkai are hostile to him, Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu's tempers are uncertain, Wang Bingyang hates chocolate, and just now he was begging him not to choose him, only Sui Yi can choose.

Since Sui Yi can share the same mango with him, and now share the same chocolate bar, it shouldn't be a problem, right

The background music was relaxed and cheerful, Ning Lan took Pocky in her mouth and walked over to Sui Yi.

With a smile on his face, Sui Yi looked at him but didn't seem to be looking. He lifted his hand and broke the chocolate bar he was biting at. Then he threw the half of his hand into his mouth, and after eating, he faced the camera and said, "That's it. right?"
