Ning Lan removed the plaster three days in advance, just in time for part of the shooting in the studio of "Covering the River and Mountain".

The director of this show is famous for his excellence. Originally, in order to pursue the reality of the picture, he was not allowed to do special effects in the later stage. As a result, the sudden earthquake caused strong dissatisfaction from various fans. If the actors are pulled back to shoot the location, they will be shot. Boom, in desperation, I had to compromise and announce that the remaining shots were either deleted or changed to interior scenes.

Mi Jie was taken care of by Ning Lan during the earthquake, and took the initiative to follow him for a few days, mainly responsible for picking up and arranging meals. After the filming, Ning Lan took the initiative to ask her to settle the cost, she waved her hand and said no, Ning Lan insisted on giving it, and sent her a red envelope, Mi Jie returned it intact, and finally explained the truth: "Mr. Order, no merit and no reward."

Ning Lan sent a thank you text message to Sui Yi, who recorded the second season of "The First Challenge of Love" in W City, and recorded the food expenses for the past few days.

Sui Yi was working at this time.

He only received the notice of appearing on the show a week ago, and he is still a resident guest this season. Zhang Fan said that this is what the company has won for him. One is to compensate for the scandal, and the other is to coincide with the idol who just started broadcasting last week. The drama needs publicity. The production cycle of "The First Challenge of Love" is short while recording and broadcasting. The first episode will be broadcast in half a month. There is no more suitable publicity platform than this.

After all, it is the company's own drama, and this show is not for anyone to be on casually. The opportunity was not easy to come by, and he took it without hesitation.

Sui Yi thought that the guests who had participated in the first season would not participate in the second season again. Only on the day of the official announcement of the program group did he know that Ji Zhinan was also among the resident guests of this season. The contract has been signed, the air ticket has been set, the arrow has to be sent on the string, Sui Yi thought that Ji Zhinan no longer remembers him, and the entertainment industry can’t see him, so it’s normal to record a variety show together, so he advises himself to treat it with a normal heart.

On the night of arriving in W City, the program team invited several guests to dinner, and it was not until he met Ji Zhinan that he was sure that he had done useless work. Ji Zhinan is already married, and the marriage partner seems to treat him very well. The smile on his face is much more than before. Sui Yi is more happy for him besides being disappointed.

His greatest wish was to grow up quickly, to be able to be on his own, and to protect the people he wanted to protect. Now that his mother is gone, Ji Zhinan is doing well, and he doesn't have so much time and energy to cherish the years and hard to give up.

Sui Yi stood up as a descendant and toasted Ji Zhinan. When Ji Zhinan saw it was him, he restrained his smile a little, but didn't embarrass him, and politely said something like "helping each other out while out".

Sui Yi put down the wine glass, thinking of finding a suitable time to thank Ji Zhinan for Ning Lan. He was used to being thoughtful, and he didn't even think about what role he would take to replace Ning Lan.

Before dawn the next day, all the guests of the second season of "The First Challenge of Love" were dug out of the bed and went to a certain school for the first filming.

Sui Yi didn't expect to be in the same group with Ji Zhinan for the first time. Both of them were a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, in the first half of the game, they collected materials separately to obtain the key to clear the level, and when they got the key to open the door and enter the classroom, that was the beginning of the highlight.

More than 20 children are sitting upright in the classroom, waiting for the two to teach them.

The show did not arrange a script for the guests in advance, and only briefly talked about the theme of this issue before filming. Both Sui Yi and Ji Zhinan thought they were going to teach a culture class, and they were caught off guard when they saw the piano in front of the classroom and the harmonica in the children's hands.

Ji Zhinan was stunned for a while, and said to Sui Yi, "Aren't you a singer? Come on, I'll help you."

Naturally, Sui Yi would not refuse. He has a musical foundation. He learned how to play the harmonica in five minutes according to the book, and taught children to play nursery rhymes. Ji Zhinan was not idle either. He took out the triangle iron and sand hammer to teach the children to play the rhythm. In a music class, he was full of energy.

Finally, when it came to the canvassing session, the program team was obviously prepared, and they took out a violin from some corner.

Sui Yi got spoilers before the last show and knew that they would come. It's not that he didn't struggle, but in order to protect Ning Lan, he exchanged the violin as a bargaining chip with his father. Pick it up.

Besides, he still thinks about his childhood, even if Ji Zhinan has forgotten, he still hopes to play with him once.

"I need a piano accompaniment." Sui Yi finished tuning the piano and turned to Ji Zhinan, "Mr. Ji, can you accompany me?"

Ji Zhinan was a little surprised, but he was under the camera after all, he hesitated for a moment, then spread out the score and sat upright on the piano bench.

The ensemble piece is "Salute of Love". The tune is melodious and melodious, and the melody slowly pours out from the strings and keys. Although they haven't run in for a long time, the cooperation between the two is still perfect.

Sui Yi's fingers slowly slid on the strings. If he hadn't played the piano for a long time, the calluses on his fingers had long since fallen off, and the fingertips felt a little pain when pressing on the hard strings.

He recalled that when he first learned this piece, he was about eight or nine years old. At that time, the teacher did not approve of him playing these simple sketches, and strictly asked him to spend more time on the etude so that he could make great progress.

However, Sui Yi likes this serenade very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he felt the beauty of the music for the first time through it. It seems that the feelings buried in his heart that are difficult to express can be expressed through the notes, which are both euphemistically and vividly expressed.

He installed a muffler on the piano, hid in the balcony to practice secretly at night, and then ran to his mother's bedside to play it for her. The mother always disapproved of him learning the piano, but after hearing the beautiful and touching melody, he showed a gratified expression. smile.

He once wanted to show it to the teacher and thank him for his careful teaching for ten years. He only dared to think about it, but did not dare to actually do it. Back then, he was afraid that the teacher would accuse him of wasting his time, but now he has lost the urge to play for someone.

A piece of music was pulled to the second half, and the ensemble that got what he wanted only made Sui Yi feel disappointed.

At the end, he suddenly thought of the pair of bright eyes that followed him, blinking as if he could talk, writing joy and attachment on his face without knowing it.

Sui Yi couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled, this scene was captured by the camera exactly.

Tomorrow there will be more than half a day of filming. Sui Yi only got the phone on the way back. When he opened it, he saw a message from Ning Lan: [Thank you Captain for the meal these days, hard work]

Sui Yi frowned. In the past few days, the frequency of Ning Lan saying "thank you" to him has returned to the period when the two had just started this indescribable relationship, or even worse.

He thought carefully about his words, and was so cautious that he was a little trembling. At that time, Sui Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Now he has seen Ning Lan acting like a spoiled child and sticking to him, and suddenly it's back to before. It's really hard to adapt.

After recording the program the next day, Sui Yi flew back to the capital. When they arrived at the dormitory, the members of AOW had just returned from the company.

Recently, everyone is preparing for the concert. Although the company has adjusted the time from July to the end of August in order to accommodate the time of student fans, the time is still very tight.

The debut concert is the most serious thing for everyone who has a stage dream. Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu respectively put down a variety show and a play for this concert. Only Sui Yi is still in the east of all AOW members. Running west, in a few days there will be another male lead for a movie to audition.

I was very tired from training today, Gao Ming was paralyzed on the sofa like mud, squinting yin and yang and said strangely: "It's better to be the captain, there are many fans, no matter what we do, people will buy it, we can't do it, if we don't sing and dance hard, we will be caught If you say that your business ability is not good, get out of the entertainment circle as soon as possible."

Ning Lan poured water out of the kitchen and walked straight into the room without hearing it, as if she didn't know that she was being used as a gunman by Gao Ming again.

Wang Bingyang used to say a few words for him, and he stopped speaking after the "robbery incident". When Fang Yu was not around, he was often attacked by enemies. He clearly didn't want to provoke anyone, but he always became the target of public criticism.

Sui Yi also didn't want to ignore Gao Ming's childish provocation, so he left a loud sentence "I won't hold you back", and turned around and went back to the room.

Ning Lan sat on the bed and applied medicine to herself. The scar on the broken skin of the calf has begun to fall off, and the skin is red and white, which looks a little scary.

He applied the medicine very carelessly. He walked around in slippers and asked Sui Yi with his mobile phone, "What do you want to eat at night?"

Sui Yi glanced at his swollen ankle, swallowed "I want to eat the food you made", and said instead, "Just keep it light."

Ning Lan tapped the phone over there, Sui Yi took out a tube of ointment from his pocket, and fumbled for a long time, not knowing how to open the metal seal inside. A small piece of his arm was accidentally scratched during the recording of the program, and the ointment was given by the staff present.

Sui Yi deliberately made the movement louder. Ning Lan lifted her eyes from the screen of her mobile phone. After seeing the situation clearly, she came over to take what was in his hand, and turned the lid of the ointment against the seal and poked it inside. The ointment came out.

"Eighty percent of the ointment is opened like this, do you have any common sense in life?" Ning Lan realized that her tone was too intimate, and she was about to leave after returning the ointment to him.

Sui Yi hadn't seen him for a long time being arrogant to himself, and he was ironed in his heart. He stretched his long arms around his waist and hooked him back, but Ning Lan didn't stabilize and sat on Sui Yi's lap.

"Aren't you going to apply the medicine for me?" Sui Yi asked him.

This had to be put in the past, Ning Lan would have laughed so hard, and then pretended to scratch Sui Yi's itch, the two of them would roll onto the bed after making a fuss, and dinner would be avoided.

Although Ning Lan's heart was beating like before, she didn't dare to show her true emotions.

During this period of time, he kept giving himself psychological hints, telling himself not to go beyond the norm and not to be emotional, as if going on like this would really give him brainwashing success. At least now, he can control himself, no longer think wildly, and no longer interpret Sui Yi's occasional intimate actions as some sweet meaning.

Ning Lan thinks this is very good. Haste is not enough, so slowly, she can always strip herself before leaving.

Even with this thought, Ning Lan still took the ointment and applied it to Sui Yi lightly.

Sui Yi suddenly had a taste for it. He remembered that Ning Lan said that he was "accustomed" to do this. Who did he cultivate the habit with? Are you going to blow that guy up too? How many times have you blown

Thinking like this, the hand wrapped around Ning Lan's waist tightened involuntarily. Ning Lan raised her head to ask him if it hurt, but Sui Yi's eyes were attracted by his exposed left ear. There were originally two ear studs, but now there are only two shallow holes hidden in the pink earlobes and auricles.

He couldn't help raising his hand and touched it.

Ning Lan shivered and turned her head to avoid it. The blush spread around the touched earlobe, quickly covering her entire face and neck.

After all, the two of them rolled onto the bed. Ning Lan was always proactive about this kind of thing, and this time was no exception. Lying under Sui Yi's body, he hurriedly stripped off his clothes, and even tore off a button in such a hurry.

Sui Yi looked down at him condescendingly, his eyes were about to overflow with desire, and teased him: "How are you going to compensate me? Huh?"

Ning Lan paused, withdrew her hands, looked around at the shirt on his body, and asked in a low voice, "How much is this dress?"

Sui Yi annoys him the most to mention money, as if he is committed to himself and pleasing himself is also for money.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

He leaned over and bit Ning Lan's nonsense mouth, kissing and licking fiercely, so that Ning Lan could only let out a soft hum, and could no longer say a word that made him unhappy.

On the day Sui Yi went to audition for the film "Night Play", Ning Lan went to the hospital alone for a review.

The doctor watched the film and said, "I'm recovering pretty well, but I still can't exercise vigorously. I have to take a good rest."

Ning Lan responded, but didn't take it to heart. There will be more than a month before the concert, and he feels that the current training intensity is not enough.

After leaving the hospital, Ning Lan turned a corner, walked into the pharmacy, and asked the teller if there were any sleeping pills for sale.

The ones that Mi Jie bought for him had already been eaten, and when he came back from the mountain, he still couldn't sleep well. Sometimes he could watch the morning light leaking in through the gaps in the curtains from the dark, and his ears would make sharp noises from time to time. It was as if something had pierced through the eardrum, stabbed into his head, and stirred recklessly inside.

This symptom is somehow better when Sui Yi is sleeping in his arms, but Sui Yi recently has to train and shoot a variety show, and sleep time must be counted by seconds. Ning Lan doesn't want to affect his little rest time.

Ning Lan guessed that she might need to hold something to sleep. She put all the dolls sent by fans on the bed and slept in her arms every night, but the symptoms did not ease.

The doctor at the pharmacy was very responsible. He asked him why he had insomnia and how long he had been suffering from insomnia. He suggested that he should not take medicine indiscriminately, and go to the hospital to make an appointment to see if there were any other problems with his body.

Ning Lan has a strong sense of self-protection. He didn't say anything. The doctor had no choice but to open him a bottle of clomezadone, emphasizing that one tablet a day should not be taken.

In less than half a month, Ning Lan added two tablets a day.

That day, Sui Yi left the capital again to record a show. Ning Lan came back from training and lay on the bed after taking medicine. He felt that he had been lying down for a long, long time, and when he opened his eyes, he found that only an hour and a half had passed.

He remembered that the doctor said that if you can't fall asleep, don't force yourself to sleep, you can get out of bed to move around, watch TV, and relax.

So he opened his mobile phone and swiped Weibo, and with a swipe of his finger, he swiped to the preview of the first issue of the second season of "Love's First Challenge". The lack of sleep for a long time made his brain slow to respond. He read the beginning and realized that this was the one Sui Yi participated in, so he cheered up and looked down.

The preview video is 3 minutes in total, and Sui Yi takes up at least half of the footage.

There is another person with him in this minute and a half of the shot.

The program team cut in a lot of clips of the two of them overcoming obstacles and completing various challenges together, and finally gave half a minute to play the ensemble of the two.

The camera revolved around them 360 degrees, and the sunlight outside poured on the two of them through the glass. One played the piano and the other played the piano. Each frame was frozen into a quiet and sweet picture.

Ning Lan finally saw Sui Yi playing the qin up close. It was as good-sounding and beautiful as he imagined. The slightly curved lips and water-like eyes all revealed his joy.

Can you be unhappy about being on the same stage with your sweetheart

Ning Lan inhaled deeply through her nose, and then slowly exhaled from her mouth. After a few abdominal breaths, her heart palpitations eased.

He thought that he was hiding it so well that he almost believed it, that he didn't mind at all, that he could turn the page lightly.

Every sleepless night, he actually didn't think about anything, and his mind was blank, as if a blank sheet of paper had covered those unrequited pain and humble and stubborn nature.

But that piece of paper was so fragile that it would be broken as soon as it was poked, just like now, he was in a state of confusion and worry, thinking about what Sui Yi was doing now, and then wondering what to do if he couldn't fall asleep later

He had to do something to get rid of the manic depression.

He turned to a topic in the comments. It turns out that Sui Yi and Ji Zhinan already have CPs. The topic is very lively. With so little material, talented fans have already edited a lot of videos, one of which is called "Perfect Match" It's particularly good-looking, and the slow motion is beautiful, anyone who sees it will feel that they are a match made in heaven.

Ning Lan read it several times and shared the link to Ji Zhinan's private message. Such a good thing, he cannot be the only one to appreciate.

After doing this, he felt that it was not enough, so he took out his violin bow from the back of the cabinet, rummaged through the pen holder on the table for a long time, found an art knife, and carved a few words at the root of the bow.

The bow was thin and round, and he carved it so hard that he accidentally cut off a few horsehair and cut his own hand.

He stared blankly at the bright red spreading on his fingers, forgetting what to engrave on the next word.

Therefore, he said before that he could not play the violin, and he would never play the violin. It was all false. As long as the person in front of him was the one in his heart, he would go over and pick it up willingly wherever he needed to make every effort to beg.

Only the will from the heart can play such a beautiful song.

The melody of "Salute of Love" echoed in Ning Lan's ears, repeating endlessly.

He put away the violin bow, lay back on the bed, stuffed five or six little dolls into his arms, hugged them tightly, and then brought his knees close to his chest, slowly shrinking himself into a ball.
