The last song of the concert was AOW's first single "Leaving the Planet". After the singing, the members lined up in a row to hold hands for the curtain call. Four of the seven teenagers cried. The emotions were very infectious. Lu Xiaochuan saw Fang Yu cried out of breath, and recalled the sweat during training and the scenes after his debut, and his nose was pantothenic.
Backstage, An Lin and Zhang Fan hurriedly distributed tissue paper and mineral water to appease the emotional children who had their first concert. Sui Yi looked around and didn't see Ning Lan, so he went out for a walk, and finally found someone in the dressing room at noon.
Ning Lan was sitting on the ground, with her arms on her bent knees, her head buried low, her whole body dead and without a trace of vitality.
Sui Yi walked in front of him and stopped, Ning Lan raised her head and looked blankly for a while before she determined who was in front of her. She raised the corners of her stiff mouth and said, "I'll take a rest, I'll be fine soon."
Sui Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't cry.
Ning Lan's silent tears at the awards show at the end of last year still left him with lingering fears in retrospect.
After finishing packing, Fang Yu exclaimed, "Lanlan, what's wrong with your feet?"
Sui Yi looked down and saw that Ning Lan's left ankle was swollen like a steamed bun, and the color was abnormally red.
Ning Lan also looked down and said lightly, "It's okay, just go back and tie a bandage."
A large group of fans surrounded the exit, and Sui Yi helped Ning Lan to come out last. The fans put down the light signs in their hands, and suddenly fell into a dilemma, not knowing whether to cheer or to be silent. A daring fan shouted at the top of his voice: "Isn't it okay on stage? Is it intentional?"
Ning Lan lowered her head and did not respond. Sui Yi glanced coldly in the direction of the voice, and the girls were so frightened that they all fell silent.
Fang Yu followed Ning Lan, Lu Xiaochuan followed Fang Yu to the dormitory, and the captain who was filming outside also came back, so the house where there were only three or four people on weekdays suddenly became very crowded.
Fang Yu went to Ning Lan's room and rolled up his sleeves to help him rub the medicine. Sui Yi watched silently from the side; Fang Yu ordered takeout to eat with Ning Lan, while Sui Yi stayed by the side. Go; Fang Yu took Ning Lan to their room to play, Sui Yi finally stood up and said, "It's not convenient for him to move around now, let him rest."
Fang Yu angrily went back to the next room with Lu Xiaochuan.
Ning Lan packed the lunch box garbage into a plastic bag and was about to throw it out. Sui Yi held him down and took what he was holding: "I'll throw it away, you rest."
Taking a shower at night, Sui Yi also went in with Ning Lan. Ning Lan glanced at the other people sitting on the sofa, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
When he came out of the wash, his feet were bandaged, and he jumped on the bed and lifted the blanket to prepare for bed. The ointment that Sui Yi went out to buy didn't come in handy, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You and Fang Yu have been very close recently?" Sui Yi asked coldly.
Ning Lan rolled over from the bed and sat up in shock, widened her eyes and said, "You know he already knows?"
This was like a tongue twister, and he was stunned when he finished speaking.
No, Sui Yi already knew that, right? When did he find out
His memory fell into chaos again, he stared blankly at Sui Yi, Sui Yi's heart softened at the sight of his hazy eyes, and he stepped forward and embraced his shoulder: "Don't trust others too easily, sometimes the more people around you, The more dangerous it is.”
He had long wondered that Ning Lan's black material was revealed by insiders. Although Ning Lan admitted it, it was obviously a premeditated revelation. Most of the photos were from last year or even earlier. There is every reason to speculate that someone Deliberately collect Ning Lan's black material and want to harm him. Sui Yi has already started to investigate this matter behind his back, but he has no clues yet, and he is still at the stage where everyone around him is suspicious.
Ning Lan shook her head and said, "No, Xiaoyu won't."
Seeing that he believed Fang Yu so firmly, Sui Yi felt even more unhappy in his heart. Since there was no evidence at hand, he thought that it would not be too late to tell Ning Lan after finding out any clues.
He told Ning Lan to take care of the people around him, Ning Lan nodded, with a little panic in his eyes, when Sui Yi let go of him, he subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes, like a frightened little animal.
Sui Yi checked his injured foot, then leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead, reassuring him, "It's alright, go to sleep."
Ning Lan had the only good sleep in more than two months, and when she woke up, the people around her had already left.
Gu Chenkai was knocking on the door outside. After he came in, he commanded Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang to help him carry the electric piano away. He didn't even look at Ning Lan from beginning to end, treating him as air.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Ning Lan stood at the window and looked at the Starlight Entertainment Building in the distance. He pointed his fingers and counted again. One year and five months, even Gu Chenkai became mature. Why is there still no progress
Sui Yi returned to the crew of "Night Play" and took half a month to complete the filming. Just after finishing the film, he rushed to the filming site of the last issue of the second season of "The First Challenge of Love" non-stop.
Sui Yi has been dominating the screen almost every day throughout the summer. Although the idol drama is not a big production, it is better than a well-known IP adaptation. The plot is fresh and not artificial, and there are no strange plots such as tearing and miscarriage. The eyes brightened, coupled with the blessing of "The First Challenge of Love", and a new film that joined Director Zhang was recently released. One of the fresh meat.
Sui Yi was busy chasing announcements everywhere, and had no time to care about the changes outside. It was not until the show was finished that he saw a crowd of fans holding banners and light signs with their own names. The building had to deploy three times more security than originally planned. It took him more than an hour to get into the car with difficulty. Only then did I have some intuitive feelings about my rising popularity.
Sitting in the car, some fans chased after him to take pictures of the car window, and showed him the light sign "Yi Nan is the most sweet in the universe". Sui Yi looked back at the building that was getting farther and farther away from him, and recalled the surname Qin just now. The man from the show appeared as the sponsor who provided the program recording venue, and interacted sweetly with Ji Zhinan like no one else. Ji Zhinan obviously didn't know that he would come, and his face was red.
Thinking of this, Sui Yi felt no grief in his heart. He just wanted to go back quickly and give Ning Lan the things that had been in his bag overnight. Ning Lan might also blushed and looked at him with flattering black eyes. .
Sui Yi rushed back in a hurry, but unfortunately he was in vain.
Ning Lan didn't make an announcement, didn't stay in the dormitory, and there was no one in the company's practice room. When I asked Gu Chenkai about them, they all said they didn't know, and they didn't see him at noon.
Sui Yi dialed Ning Lan's phone, but the other end rang several times before answering. I don't know if it was a problem with the mobile phone signal or the surrounding environment was too noisy. Ning Lan's voice was indistinguishable intermittently. After speaking for less than half a minute, she somehow hung up. .
Sui Yi was a little worried and asked him to post his location on WeChat. After waiting for a few minutes, he didn't receive a reply, and then he remembered that Ning Lan had changed to a broken mobile phone that could not be used on WeChat at all. He experienced Fang Yu's exasperation that day, and in desperation, he opened the information interface and sent a text message to Ning Lan: [Where are you?]
Ning Lan replied nonsense: [Outside]
Sui Yi had no choice but to ask: [address]
After a long time, Ning Lan sent three words: [Emerald Garden]
Sui Yi frowned. His foot injury hasn't healed yet. Why go to such crowded tourist attractions
Get off the bus at the place, travel through many tourists with difficulty, and find Ning Lan in the long queue in front of the ticket office. Seeing his small face that was blushing in the sun, Sui Yi lost his temper all of a sudden, He took off the hat on his head and put it on his head, and asked, "What are you doing here when you are not staying in the dormitory on a hot day?"
Ning Lan was shaky from the heat of the heat, and the brim of her hat blocked her face, so she opened her eyes a little. Seeing that Sui Yi was surprised, she pulled down her mask and asked indifferently, "Why are you here?" Then she looked around, " No jumpers are allowed here."
Sui Yi was too lazy to explain to him, and dragged him away from the team.
Ning Lan was not as strong as him. He was dragged to stand in the shade of a sparsely populated tree, and he took a breath before speaking: "My mother and sister are here, I'll show them around."
Sui Yi didn't expect such a reason, so he was stunned for a while and asked, "What about them?"
Ning Lan pointed to the small pavilion in the distance: "Wait there for me to buy a ticket."
Sui Yi bought tickets online with his mobile phone, and the four of them swiped their ID cards to enter the park.
Ning Lan's mother took her son's arm and walked in front. Ning Lan's feet were not completely healed, and she was limping. Sui Yi tried to help him several times, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity. After all, his family was there.
Ning Lan's sister left behind and walked side by side with Sui Yi. Not long after entering the park, Sui Yi had learned her name, age, height, and even weight from her endless chatter.
Ning Xuan shyly brushed her hair behind her ears and asked him, "Are you my brother's teammate?"
Sui Yi was absent-minded: "Well."
Ning Xuan bit her lip: "Let me guess... Are you Sui Yi, the captain of AOW."
"Um."
Ning Xuan's eyes lit up: "I, can I add you on WeChat?"
After walking around for half a lap, Ning Lan was carried by Ning Xuan to buy a drink. Sui Yi sat on the bench and flipped through the circle of friends of her friends. It was either a selfie or a sunbathing. The one on Lan's side is a photo of a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival. Half of Ning Lan's body in an old padded jacket accidentally entered the mirror.
Sui Yi exited and put the phone back in his pocket. Ning Lan's mother suddenly came over and said mysteriously, "Young man, can I ask you something?"
Zhao Jinshan is less than 50 years old and looks very young. Eighty percent of Ning Lan's facial features are inherited from her, which shows that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Faced with such a face, Sui Yi couldn't say anything to refuse, and said politely, "Auntie, say it."
Zhao Jinshan looked around, then asked with a smile: "Our family Lanlan, do you have a... um, good friend, is there a good friend called Zhouzhou?"
Sui Yi thought for a moment. The only Zhouzhou he knew was Lu Xiaochuan's younger brother, Lu Xiaozhou. Thinking of that kid, his expression suddenly became unbearable, and he said cautiously, "I don't know which boat you are talking about?"
Zhao Jinshan stretched out her hand and wrote in the palm of her hand with her finger: "Well, it's this boat, a boat with a flat leaf."
Sui Yi looked uncertain, Zhao Jinshan hurriedly winked and asked, "Is he the one from our Lanlan? That's it, you live together every day, you should know? He called our Lanlan one day today. I've seen it all over the phone several times."
that
The corners of Sui Yi's mouth behind the mask rose slightly, and he smiled coldly.
Sending Zhao Jinshan and Ning Xuan back to the hotel, on the way back, Ning Lan sat in the passenger seat and pressed the old antique, still muttering words, as if calculating something.
Back in the dormitory, Sui Yi took out a rectangular box from his bag and threw it to him. Ning Lan took it over and looked at it for a long time, only to realize that it was a mobile phone, and was busy returning it to Sui Yi, saying, "I have a mobile phone, so I don't need this."
"Can that thing count as a mobile phone? You can't even receive calls."
Ning Lan wanted to refute, but couldn't find a suitable rhetoric for a while, so she gave up for the time being.
Sui Yi was unhappy and said again: "Or, Lu Xiaozhou's call can be received, but mine is not?"
Ning Lan opened her mouth to look at him, then lowered her head again, put the new phone case on the table, rubbed her fingers along the edge of the package, and asked Sui Yi determinedly, "How much is this?"
When Sui Yi heard the word "money" from his mouth, his head grew big. He felt that he was an idiot who bought a mobile phone happily a few hours ago and wanted to make him smile.
"Why, do you want to pay me back?" Sui Yi asked Ning Lan in turn, "Is it just a matter of reckoning? Calculate today's expenses?"
Ning Lan annoyed Sui Yi again, he just felt very tired, he sat down with his chair, turned on the calculator on the black and white mobile phone, and tried to keep himself organized: "One ticket is 150, four people are 600, souvenir 528 Block, add up to 1128, I will call you tomorrow."
Sui Yi said coldly, "Why haven't I seen you care so much before?"
"It's not the same thing, it's different..." Ning Lan's mind was in a mess. Poor sleep had seriously affected his mental state. His memory was getting worse day by day. Today, Sui Yi unexpectedly joined in and paid four people The ticket money, he felt that this should be settled on the spot, he was afraid that he would not remember when he came back to sleep.
"What's the difference?" Sui Yi laughed angrily, took two steps forward, put his hands on the back of the chair, and leaned down to look at Ning Lan, "You and Lu Xiaozhou are the same? Sleep once and settle the bill once?"
Ning Lan caught a breath in her throat, raised her head and stared at him with wide eyes.
"Did I say it wrong? Didn't you get fostered before your debut? This kind of thing is familiar, right?"
From just now to now, Ning Lan has not refuted the topic about Lu Xiaozhou, which means that he is guilty and that there is something true.
As long as Sui Yi thought that Ning Lan had tossed and moaned under others, he was furious. In the days when he couldn't see Ning Lan, he tried to convince himself to stop worrying about the things that had passed, but the appearance of Lu Xiaozhou, like a spark the size of a fingernail, easily ignited the anger he had suppressed in his heart.
"I didn't… no."
Ning Lan's face was pale, and her lips trembled violently.
He raised his arm to touch Sui Yi, but Sui Yi waved his hand away, stood up straight and turned to go, Ning Lan chased after him and grabbed his hand: "I didn't, really didn't."
There was a buzzing in his ears, and his own voice couldn't be heard.
In the past, he was not afraid of anything, not afraid of being hurt, not afraid of being misunderstood. Stubbornness and self-esteem were the last fig leaf on his body, allowing him to hide his vulnerability and face all the wind and rain with his head held high.
But he has become timid now, and he is afraid that if he does not explain, he will never have another chance. He could throw away the fig leaf and stomp it under his feet, as long as he could keep the person in front of him, even for a while, a few minutes, a few seconds.
He was too afraid to face the darkness alone.
Sui Yi turned his back to him, and there was not a trace of warmth in his voice: "You don't? Those black materials were fabricated out of thin air? You brought your mother here to show me the show, right?"
Ning Lan's mind was a mess, and he didn't know where to start to explain. His throat was dry and his pronunciation was difficult, so he only grabbed Sui Yi's hand tightly: "Don't go, don't go..."
Sui Yi couldn't wait for an answer, so he turned around and waved Ning Lan away, Ning Lan staggered back two steps, and then, a series of crackling and harsh sounds penetrated into his ears.
The onyx bracelet he wore on his left wrist was broken, and eighteen beads were scattered, bounced and fell on the floor, until it couldn't bounce again, and rolled into an unknown corner of the room and lay there, gradually disappearing. movement.
Sui Yi still left.
Ning Lan lay on the ground, picked up the red beads one by one, and counted them over and over again in her palm. There were only seventeen, and the eighteenth did not know where they fell.
He wiped the beads one by one and put them in the box. When he closed the drawer, he saw the new phone on the table, opened the package, picked it up, touched the cold screen, put it back, opened the drawer again, and put it together with the jewelry box.
