Ning Lan was compelled to go to the corner with Boss Liu to "reminisce". After all, they had borrowed money from him during a difficult time. Although the means of asking for debts later were not very sunny, at least he had to live to the present with all his needs. his benefactor.

Boss Liu looked at him from the beginning to the end as if he was valuing the commodity: "Xiao Lanlan is incredible now, flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix."

Ning Lan was very speechless about his words and phrases, and said politely: "How can you, you bastard, you are not qualified to stand with you, Boss Liu."

Boss Liu heard this, holding his stomach and laughing loudly: "You little stars, you can speak well one by one."

"Where is it, it's just a matter of life." Ning Lan said the truth.

The two exchanged a few more chats. The big man standing behind Boss Liu was angry when he saw Ning Lan, his nose was not a nose or a face was not a face, he snorted, and Boss Liu scolded him: "What is this attitude? Xiao Lanlan Now there is a big backer behind you, so be more polite when you see it later."

Ning Lan continued to be modest: "No, no."

The best way to deal with such face-loving upstarts is to show weakness and satisfy their boundless vanity.

Boss Liu wondered: "Really?"

Ning Lan quickly pondered the meaning of his words, afraid of causing trouble for Sui Yi, and denied: "Of course not, otherwise why am I still singing and dancing here?"

Boss Liu's small eyes lit up: "Oh, I knew, how can we Lanlan have such a good character... Haha." He rubbed his hands, "Actually, you didn't come to beg me that time. , I'm a little disappointed."

Ning Lan was pale, how could he have thought that Boss Liu still remembered this.

"The girl who just wrapped the bag recently is very saucy, here." Boss Liu pointed to the roses that the big man was holding in the back, "I have to bring flowers to support the scene for her, willful, I don't know how to let it go. Peace of mind, alas, don't you think so?"

Ning Lan sweated on her forehead and said yes.

Boss Liu took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said a little ambiguously: "Tell me, why didn't I find out Xiao Lanlan that you are so cute and painful?"

Ning Lan took a step back, the smile on her face disappeared, and there was a faint anger. He now owes nothing to anyone except Sui Yi, so there is no need to hold back any longer. He said solemnly: "If there is nothing else, I will go first, Boss Liu, you are busy." After that, he turned around and left.

Boss Liu grabbed his arm and pulled it back like he was skinny: "Hey, hey, I haven't finished speaking yet, so don't leave yet."

Ning Lan was about to struggle, but the other arm was pulled from the side, and a force pulled him away from Boss Liu, accompanied by a familiar low voice: "I'll be in now."

It is Sui Yi.

Ning Lan's head was about to explode. He felt that God must have deliberately played tricks on him, and Sui Yi always came across this predicament.

"Yo, this is not, this is not..." Boss Liu tied his tongue in the back for a long time, and did not call out Sui Yi's name. The Sui family is one of the most prestigious families in the capital. They are not in the same class as a middle-aged upstart like him. He only thinks that this young man is familiar, as if he has seen him somewhere.

Here, Sui Yi had already pulled Ning Lan and left him far behind, turned a few corners to a secluded corner, and then let go of Ning Lan's arm.

Ning Lan was pinched by his light-hearted hand and looked at him, rubbing his arms and puffing out his cheeks: "Why are you so fierce?"

He meant to act like a spoiled child, and wanted Sui Yi to feel sorry for him. It would be fine to kiss or hug him like before. Since he slipped and asked about the violin a few days ago, Sui Yi has not been very interested in him. Last night, he risked being unable to get off again and climbed to the upper bunk. Sui Yi just kissed him perfunctorily and turned over. He caught him under the bed and went back to sleep.

He didn't know where the problem was, so he could only rack his brains to please him in every possible way.

Ning Lan thought that Sui Yi should calm down now, although he never said it, but Ning Lan just knew that he liked his injury and softened it the most.

Unexpectedly, Sui Yi's expression did not soften at all, and he asked him coldly, "How much more?"

Ning Lan was stunned: "What?"

In fact, Ning Lan guessed right, Sui Yi was in a really bad mood these days, but the reason wasn't him.

Sui Yi has been receiving calls from his father every day these days. When he hangs up, his father calls again. If he doesn't answer in Do Not Disturb mode, his father sends him a text message saying that the teacher is sick and is hospitalized in XX hospital. Even if his father sent the address and bed number, he didn't intend to see it. The relationship between him and the teacher was already over when the teacher intervened in their family of three. The other party betrayed his trust first. If they have anything to do with them, they have already come this far, and it is impossible to turn back now.

The bad thing seems to be an appointment to bump into each other, and Ji Zhinan is also in the hospital. He is such a timid person. When he was a child, he would cover his eyes and call for help when he saw himself swimming in the water. Now that he is so stimulated, how could his company arrange for him to work so quickly

Sui Yi couldn't do anything about the two things, but they were both entrenched in his heart and bothering him for a long time.

Right now, Ning Lan is actually not happy for him, doesn't he say that the debt has been paid off? Why are you still here with an old man who clearly has bad intentions against him

"I'll ask you how much you want." Sui Yi repeated word by word in a deep voice.

Ning Lan was still stunned, and murmured, "I... I don't want money."

After Sui Yi heard what he said, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled mockingly.

Ning Lan was like being poured a basin of cold water on her head, which was tantamount to being publicly executed.

Yes, what's the difference between saying that you don't want money after taking so much money from others, and being a bitch and wanting to set up an archway

for free? Climbing on his bed for no money, trying to seduce him with all his strength

Seeing that his face was as pale as paper, Sui Yi felt inexplicably dazzling, and left the sentence "collect in half an hour" and turned away.

Ning Lan stood there for a long time, and finally the phone ringing in his pocket woke him up. As soon as he picked it up, his mother Zhao Jinshan shouted loudly that she had a car accident and was hospitalized. She needed tens of thousands of dollars. , Ning Lan listened quietly, and then hung up the phone silently when she heard her howling no longer.

This is the third time my mother has been hospitalized in a car accident this month. The traffic security in my hometown seems to be not very good recently.

He walked back along the road he came from, and when he passed Ji Zhinan's exclusive lounge, he paused in confusion.

There were people inside now. The photographer set up the machine at the door to shoot. Ji Zhinan sat there smiling and was interviewed by reporters. Recently, fans have always said that he and Ji Zhinan look alike. He doesn't like to be compared with others, and he doesn't like this statement, so he is a little conflicted to get close to the people inside.

But Ning Lan still remembered that her purpose of coming here was to ask Ji Zhinan for a signed photo as Sui Yi's birthday present.

Maybe Sui Yi never looked forward to the birthday present he prepared for him? Ning Lan thought in panic, what exactly is he to Sui Yi? A random thing to keep? Is it necessary to try so hard

Just like what Sui Yi said just now, he just wanted money, so why did he put so much in front of him

He has all the bad qualities that others have. He lives with the situation. He is insatiable and greedy. He can still expect and dream. Far beyond the normal range and boundaries

"Then let's go to the next interview." The reporter inside said to Taiben, "This question comes from the netizen Feitian Little Girl. She wants to ask Teacher Ji if she has a nickname?"

Ji Zhinan seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile, "Yes, they all call me Nan Nan, or Xiao Nan." After a while, he said, "Actually, I have another alias that everyone doesn't know, called Ji Xing."

"New? Brand new?"

"No, it's from the stars..."

The photographer outside suddenly interjected: "Pause for a moment, I didn't record it here, I'll do it again just now."

The reporter waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I made a transcript, let's continue shooting, time is limited, the show will start soon... Okay, let's continue, the next question is... "

Ning Lan, who was still standing at the door, didn't seem to be able to hear anything. He was so confused in his head that he raised his hand to touch the earrings on his ears at a loss.

Stars, stars of stars… Stud earrings in the shape of stars.

Star.

He remembered the movie that Sui Yi had opened twice, and paused after watching only the clip of Ji Zhinan each time.

There was also Sui Yi's almost crazy reaction when Ji Zhinan fell into the water, not even knowing that his arm was scratched and bleeding so much.

This earring was not given to him at all, no wonder it was hidden in the suitcase, Sui Yi probably didn't expect him to turn it out.

Ning Lan suddenly felt that she might not only be blind, but also blind.

How can Sui Yi look like a person who can chase stars? He is young and mature, brave and resolute, and he says he has no idols in all situations. If he says no, then he really does not.

That feeling of wanting to approach but not daring to approach, no one knows better than Ning Lan, how can it be the state of fans towards idols

Ning Lan took a deep breath, and the wounds on her ears that were repeatedly inflamed and festered were aching.

Fragments come together in the mind, strung together into a logical line. He suddenly remembered that after a LIVE song last month, Wang Bingyang was in the car reading comments for everyone, and a fan said: "Bubble Lan's see-through outfit today looks like one worn by Teacher Ji, and the face also looks like it. Especially the eyes." He was not very happy at the time, said "I don't look like", then turned his head and asked Sui Yi: "Captain, do you think I look like you?"

What was Sui Yi's reaction at that time? He looked at his face, opened his mouth, and moved his neck slightly. The light in the car was too dark, and Ning Lan couldn't tell whether he was nodding or shaking his head. He could only see the indescribable fog that filled the depths of his pupils, which was hidden in a short moment as if it had never appeared before.

But Ning Lan remembered this look, and pondered it in her heart, trying to take it as proof that Sui Yi treats him differently, and maybe even likes him.

It was the first time that Ning Lan had grown up to think that having a good memory was such a hateful thing.

... He still doesn't believe it.

He opened the mobile browser with shaking hands, and typed the words "Ji Zhinan" in the input box. The numbers behind the birthday column, like a knife hanging over his head, finally fell.

March 18, 0318, bank card password 990318, Sui Yi's birth year, Ji Zhinan's birthday.

Not long ago, Ning Lan secretly changed all her passwords to 940109, and she still had such a charming thought that she dared not tell her.

- On your birthday the year I was born, I engraved you in my life.

In this relationship, he was humble, frightened, and stubbornly trying to find a proof, leaving an indelible mark where others could not see, naively thinking that this was called romance.

But romance should be warm and sweet, not as cold as ice is mixed in the blood as it is now.
