He threw the bag heavily on the ground, making a loud bang, then raised his hand and zipped the jacket down, took off the jacket and threw it on the ground, and then went to pull the only thin T-shirt on him.

Ning Lan was already thin, and her baggy T-shirt was pulled below her shoulders, revealing almost all the skin on her upper body.

As he took it off, he walked slowly forward. The sound of footsteps was amplified several times due to the quietness of the room, as was the sound of tearing. The dullness and sharpness were intertwined, giving people a creepy experience for no reason.

"You... what are you doing?" Gu Chenkai asked loudly with his head held high, but his fluttering eyes betrayed his inner panic.

Ning Lan took another step forward, stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: "I seduce you."

The chills spread from the soles of the feet to the body, and Gu Chenkai couldn't say anything at all: "You, you, are you disgusting?"

The ragged Ning Lan was still leaning forward, her shoulders and waist were exposed in the air. Sui Yi stood behind him, and when she looked up, she saw a red mark the size of a bowl on the back where Gu Chenkai had just kicked him. , which stood out even more against the surrounding white to sickly skin.

Sui Yi's breathing stopped abruptly, the same as the subconscious feedback when he saw his injured knee last time.

Ning Lan chuckled a few times: "So you are really afraid of being seduced by me."

The space for people to stand in the room is very small. The closer Ning Lan got closer, the three people standing in a row took half a step back in unison. How did they expect Ning Lan to react like this? Before, he ran on him openly and secretly, and he was silently accepting it, so such a sudden response was a bit surprising.

What's more, Ning Lan's expression was also uncharacteristic, obviously smiling, but Sen Han in his eyes completely revealed his emotions. He was so angry that he might actually hit someone in the next second.

They are all ten-year-old children who have never experienced the sinister society. If they are frightened, they will lose their position. Gu Chenkai's face is pale. He grew up in the middle of the stars, and his parents and relatives are only one year older than him. His older brother is doting on him, how could he be confronted like this in front of his face, he was so panicked, but his mouth was unforgiving: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I want to go out to fight in an open and honest way, why are you taking off your clothes? Gay, disgusting!"

Ning Lan raised the corner of her mouth and shrugged, "I know nothing but seduce people."

Wang Bingyang was also covered in hair. He always felt that there would be an accident if he didn't stop him. He stepped forward and said, "Don't be arguing. Fighting is not allowed in the dormitory, so please calm down."

Did not play a role in calming the atmosphere.

Ning Lan was still there, smiling but not laughing, like anger but not anger, obviously he didn't have any advantages in height and body shape, just straightening his back and looking up, gave people an inexplicable sense of gloomy oppression, and was enveloped by this momentum. However, even if there were only a few torn pieces of fabric hanging on the other's skinny body, it would only make people feel the piercing cold wind, and there was nothing weak or absurd.

Even Ning Lan thought that he had no edges and corners for a long time. It turned out that it was just polished off and buried in the soil. When an unwarranted storm passed by, it would still be blown to reveal a little sharp corners.

It's not that he doesn't feel pain, he just hides it, so deeply that ordinary stimuli can't touch it at all.

Just when the air was still and something was brewing on the verge of breaking out, Sui Yi stood up: "Okay, don't make trouble, go back to your own room and sleep."

A thick coat was draped over her shoulders from behind, and Ning Lan felt warm, and her tight body relaxed involuntarily.

He turned his head, Sui Yi's eyes were downcast, and his arms went around to help him close the placket of his coat, barely blocking the cold skin exposed in the air.

A serious conflict dissipated.

Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang also fled, Gu Chenkai also shut up under Sui Yi's pressure, angrily took his clothes and went to take a bath.

Ning Lan stood there for a while to stabilize his mind, the blood rushing to his forehead slowly cooled, and the lingering aftertaste still made him a little dizzy.

The bag thrown on the ground had been picked up and placed on the chair beside the bed. Ning Lan walked over, picked up the bag, turned around and walked out.

Sui Yi blocked his way again.

Ning Lan didn't lift her eyelids: "Let me go."

Sui Yi was stunned. His tone was flat, as if the one who sneered just now was not him at all.

But the alienation and resistance in the tone was palpable.

Sui Yi could probably guess what he was angry about. He didn't like being misunderstood, and immediately explained: "I didn't tell anyone about the money, and I don't know how Xiao Chen knew about it."

Ning Lan didn't say anything, the corners of her lips pursed even tighter.

"I apologize to you on his behalf, and I will check it later, I..."

"No need." Ning Lan interrupted him, "I originally borrowed money from you, and I couldn't pay it back for the time being. He was right."

Half of Sui Yi's words were cut off. Before she could think of how to respond, Ning Lan continued, "I will pay you back the money. Please let me go."

Then they walked over from his side, and the two separated after touching their shoulders, leaving no trace of warmth.

Ning Lan didn't go very far and stayed in Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu's room for one night.

When Sui Yi woke up the next morning, he saw that the jacket he had put on Ning Lan was neatly folded on the chair, and the green cover of "Basic Music Theory" was on the table.

When Ning Lan applied to Zhang Fan for the dormitory change, Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu agreed to let him stay in their room and the curtain was closed. Zhang Fan called them over and beat them, warning them that they were not popular yet, so don’t learn first. Hug a group to exclude that set.

Sui Yi listened absent-mindedly. Although he did not deliberately act coldly and violently against Ning Lan, the other team members took his actions in their eyes and naturally followed suit. It has nothing to do with him.

He just doesn't know how to deal with such a person. He hates and despises what this person does, but unknowingly attracts his attention, maybe because of curiosity, or maybe because of self-compassion, after all Most of what Ning Lan showed in front of him was a vulnerable side that needed protection.

As for the camouflage in it, only Ning Lan knew it, and he didn't want to get into it.

A week after the group training, AOW received its first commercial advertisement, a new sports drink launched by a well-known company. The positioning of the consumer group is young people in the tenth and twenties. Because it is an advertisement for the Internet, and the requirements for national recognition are not so high, AOW easily stands out, and as the most popular new-generation boy group recently, it has been favored by merchants.

Not long after returning to the capital, the AOW seven took another flight to S City.

In mid-June, the temperature of S city is higher than that of the capital, the heat is steaming, and it is really difficult to jump up and down in the city center with amazing surface temperature under the scorching sun.

Fang Yu didn't know how many times to reapply the sunscreen today. After applying it, he asked Ning Lan, the only one in the group who could compare with him: "Are you really not using it? You will cry when you get a tan."

Ning Lan took a sip of water and shook her head: "I'll be back after a few days."

Sui Yi just came back from the one-person shot, and glanced over there when she took the water from An Lin's hand. Ning Lan turned her back to him, and could only see a section of the back of her neck that was reddened by the sun.

After that day, they had almost no communication. They used to live in one room and couldn't see each other. Now they can't meet each other in the practice room. Except for Zhang Fan calling for a meeting or group activity, there is no chance to meet each other.

He used to hide from Ning Lan, but now Ning Lan hides from him, no, it's them. The final effect of the two was the same, and it saved him a lot of trouble, but Sui Yi just felt that something was wrong.

When it was Ning Lan's turn to shoot a single shot, the director made him laugh, so he put the drink on his cheek, grinned and raised his eyebrows, as if this drink could really bring him an unparalleled summer refreshment.

The scorching sun was shining directly on the rest area, and the scene in front of her was twisted and swayed as if it was about to melt, but Sui Yi watched intently, and even Ning Lan noticed that Ning Lan was thinner than before.

After the shooting of the commercial, the teenagers met to eat the famous fried buns in S City. They were just about to set off. An Lin called and asked them to meet downstairs in half an hour. The company temporarily picked up a local one from S City. live streaming.

Everyone ate some snacks for dinner, then went downstairs with a sigh. Ning Lan, who was arranged to sleep with the staff, was already in the car. He sat in the back corner of the car with his arms folded, his head leaning against the window, and he closed his eyes for a nap. Hearing someone getting into the car, he only moved a little, then moved his body inward.

Where Ning Lan was there, several people in the dormitory couldn't let go of talking. All the way to the live broadcast location, the car was silent.

After the conflict, Ning Lan stopped showing goodwill to everyone, and never showed the anger that night. He was like a transparent person in the dormitory, and he didn't need everyone to ignore it. He had already left the circle ahead of time and was alone Stand on the sidelines and stop trying to blend in.

Gu Chenkai and Gao Ming liked it, the other three members had nothing to do with them, only Sui Yi felt uncomfortable.

When he received the notice just now, he sent a message to Ning Lan and asked him to come to this room to have dinner together. He remembered that Ning Lan had low blood sugar, and leaving without dinner might affect the next work.

After sending it out, he regretted it a little bit. He remembered the few text messages Ning Lan had sent before, but he didn't reply. It would be reasonable if Ning Lan didn't reply to him now.

Ning Lan returned, with three simple words: No need.

Sui Yi, who received the reply, was inexplicably relieved. After thinking about it, Ning Lan's text messages are all sent in groups, and there is nothing wrong with him even if he doesn't reply.

The live broadcast is a food show, and today's theme is "The New Way to Eat Lobster".

I thought it was a spicy crayfish, but who knew that at the beginning of the live broadcast, two cooks brought up a big Olong with a big washbasin. The teenagers were stunned. The host asked those present who had never eaten lobster to raise their hands, which sounded a bit shabby. Only Ning Lan raised her hands with a smile.

Of course, they will not be asked to cook. The purpose of inviting guests to live on the food is to increase popularity and mobilize the atmosphere. Several people surrounded the iron plate of the grilled lobster tightly, and they warmed up the field with all their tongues, and the barrage was brushed quickly. , the audience was very happy.

After the lobster is baked, it is natural for the guests to try it. As the captain, Sui Yi took the lead and took a sip, then wiped his mouth with a tissue, his expression unpredictable, neither delicious nor unpalatable, let everyone taste it for themselves.

The team members made a lot of noise, saying that the captain had failed in learning, and then each took a plate and a fork to eat the lobster meat. At night, everyone almost didn’t eat it, and divided the lobster into only the slag.

"Hey, hey, eat less, Ning Lan hasn't moved yet." Lu Xiaochuan said with his cheeks puffed out.

Sui Yi glanced at Ning Lan, who was standing quietly in the corner as the background board, picked up a clean plate, forked the last piece of slightly intact shrimp on it, and handed it to Ning Lan at the other end of the table.

"Ah, the captain gave Lanlan the last piece." Fang Yu bit his fork and said.

Sui Yi looked at Ning Lan and was a little worried that he would not answer. He responded to Fang Yu: "Didn't you say you want to lose weight?"

"Just say you believe it too..."

Ning Lan didn't look at the person who handed him the food, she took the plate with a smile, then turned her arm and sent it to Fang Yu firmly: "You can eat, I'm not hungry."

This scene was later named "textbook-level spoiled" by Gaohua CP fans, and Ning Lan played the role of a waiter in it. This time he performed very well, knowing that the food in the captain's hand cannot be eaten casually, and finally made a good impression in front of CP fans.
