Gu Chenkai said in astonishment: "Brother, don't you know? The company signed a new contract with him, and he will not participate in the group's itinerary after the New Year."

After Gu Chenkai finished speaking, he realized what was wrong. He opened his eyes and covered his mouth, thinking quickly in his mind, did Ning Lan keep the matter a secret

Sui Yi got up, stood in front of Gu Chenkai, and asked him in a deep voice, "Why?"

Gu Chenkai had already leaked his mouth, so he simply put down his hand, broke the jar and said, "I can't dance because of a leg injury, and the influence of the previous black material was too bad. However, the company retained him the basic salary during the contract period and basic living. It's definitely fine."

Gu Chenkai said it lightly, but Sui Yi couldn't calm down. Ning Lan owes money everywhere, and the mother at home seems to depend on him for support. How can the basic salary be enough for him

No wonder he didn't get on stage when he asked for leave before, and he stumbled while walking. He thought it was an ordinary twisted foot, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Seeing Gu Chenkai's expression dodging, Sui Yi knew that he must still have something to hide, so he threatened him a little, and all the children who didn't care would be taken care of.

"Just, just the black stuff from before. It was Gao Ming, Wang Bingyang, and Feng Qiu who didn't get into our group. Ning Lan told me not to tell you, brother, don't tell him that I said it."

Sui Yi's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be stormy waves surging in them, wrapped in some doubts.

Gu Chenkai bit his finger in fear: "Actually, I don't think it's alright. After all, the video they mentioned didn't come out. It is said that that was the big news. It was probably suppressed by the company. It was you who made it yourself. hand?"

Sui Yi's expression froze: "What video?"

Half an hour later, Sui Yi, who was driving on the road, got everything he wanted to know from Zhang Fan.

Including what kind of video that is.

Gu Chenkai only knew that Gao and Wang wanted to blackmail Ning Lan. Hearing them mentioning videos and videos, he thought it was Ning Lan beating his mother in the street and was filmed. Given his prejudice against Ning Lan at that time, of course not. Don't take it to heart.

Even Zhang Fan was silent for a long time, forced to do nothing by Sui Yi's well-organized guess, and only then did he tell the truth.

"It's impossible for the company not to protect you. In addition, Ning Lan voluntarily gave up on herself, and the video was suppressed. He didn't let me tell you, saying that he was afraid that you would be distracted by the filming. He begged me like that. I can't help but agree."

The facts were completely consistent with Sui Yi's speculation, but he didn't understand why Ning Lan did this. He originally thought that these black materials were directly posted on the Internet without going through the company. Since Ning Lan was the first to know, he just had to tell him, how could he not help him

The heavy rain will fall, and the sky is like a beast with a bloody mouth, trying to devour the world. The air pressure suddenly dropped, making Sui Yi a little breathless.

All other possibilities were ruled out one by one, and there was only one reason left - Ning Lan didn't want him to get involved.

No matter if he is afraid of affecting his filming, or if he thinks he can handle it, Ning Lan's own star and future can be abandoned, all for him.

But how did he respond? With a condescending attitude of the superior, with strong prejudice and distrust of him, he could not help questioning Ning Lan, forcing him to admit it.

He was the one who called people over, and he was the one who drove them away.

Sui Yi stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light. On the left side of the road ahead was a familiar hotel. That day, Ning Lan got into his car for the first time. He knew what Ning Lan was going to do, so he still sent him downstairs.

Maybe from that day on, he completely lost his rational judgment on Ning Lan. No matter what Ning Lan did, in his eyes, he couldn't get rid of the shadow of sloppy deeds.

"Boom, boom, boom."

There was a knock on the car window, and a girl's face was printed outside the window. Sui Yi hesitated for a moment, then lowered the car window.

The girl holding a large bunch of flowers said: "Handsome guy, buy a flower, go back and give it to your girlfriend, or you can give it to your mother if you don't have a girlfriend."

The girl probably jumped over the fence and onto the road. This is the main road, and the traffic jams are severe in the evening rush hour. When Sui Yi drove to this area before, he also encountered hawkers who knocked on the car window to sell.

He was upset and just wanted to pass the red light quickly, and the girl hurriedly said: "Are you in a hurry to eat? It's going to rain, you can buy one, waiting for your people to see such a beautiful flower, they will be happy of."

Sui Yi accidentally remembered that Lu Xiaozhou seemed to have bought flowers for Ning Lan yesterday.

He bought all the flowers in the girl's hands.

When the traffic flow slowly moved forward, Sui Yi glanced at the flower lying on the co-pilot, and suddenly an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

He was no stranger to this feeling. Every time he kissed Ning Lan, hugged him, watched him cook for him, smiled at him, and put on the earrings he gave him, as if he was saying When "I belong to you", when I can work with peace of mind when I hear his voice and receive his text messages...

Any time.

This is different from the feelings he had for other people in the past. It is not a yearning, not a longing, and it is not a friendship.

It was a fresh taste he had tasted for the first time in twenty years.

The heavy rain poured down, and the cold rain in the late winter hit the windows and slid down the glass.

Sui Yi's slender fingers holding the steering wheel squeezed hard, and after a few seconds, he released it again with a long exhalation.

He should have realized long ago that only caring will make people panic. And the more he cares, the more he will care about his behavior, care about his depravity and not love himself, care about why he doesn't like himself.

It was as if a hole had been pierced in his heart, and the tide was gushing out from it like a tsunami.

I like him.

I already liked him.

It was the first time when the lights were on downstairs in the community. When Sui Yi took the elevator upstairs, her heartbeat was fast and her breathing was a little short.

He firmly believed that Ning Lan also liked him, otherwise he would not have done that for him.

His heart to see Ning Lan has never been so urgent, so urgent that he has no time to think about why Ning Lan stubbornly refuses to admit that he likes him.

When he opened the door with the key, the room was dark. The moment the light was turned on, Sui Yi saw that the bunch of flowers were still standing alone on the table.

He didn't bother to throw it away, holding the fresh bouquet with a few drops of rain, and pushed open the door of the room.

There is no one inside.

The window was half-open, and the last person to leave the room might not know that it would rain in the evening. The heavy curtains were fluttered by the wind, and the rain hit the window sill through the screen window, and the floor near the window sill was wet.

In this messy situation, Sui Yi found that the pot of plants that Ning Lan kept was gone.

Not only the potted plant, the pillows and dolls on the bed, the "Basic Music Theory" beside the pillow, the slippers under the bed, the odds and ends in the drawer, the clothes in the cabinet...

All the evidence that a person existed is gone.

The breath gradually lost its temperature in the cold air.

Sui Yi took out his cell phone and dialed Ning Lan's number. The endless busy tone on the phone reminded him that Ning Lan's cell phone card was lost, along with the cell phone.

This time he didn't lie.

Sui Yi couldn't remember that this was the first time he had turned back. A few times before, when he turned around, he could see Ning Lan standing there waiting for him.

However, now, a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart. This terrifying feeling spread to his limbs in an instant, controlling his thoughts and movements, so that he heard the phone ringing for dozens of seconds.

Press to connect, open a stiff mouth: "Hello."

Fang Yu spoke very quickly: "Captain, is Lan Lan by your side? Please let him answer the phone."

Sui Yi rolled his Adam's apple a few times: "He's not here."

"Not here?" Fang Yu raised his voice a few degrees, "He's not in the dormitory?"

"Not."

"He said he wouldn't go home for the new year... Then do you know where he went?"

Sui Yi thought blankly for a moment: "I don't know."

Fang Yu snorted coldly: "What time is it, Captain, don't be in a hurry."

What's the use of panic, what's the use of being busy? He knew very little about Ning Lan and had no idea where he was going.

"Do you know where Ning Lan will go?" Sui Yi asked.

"How do I know, I've never slept with him." Fang Yu was very hostile to him, and every sentence was thorny, "Why don't you go to Weibo and read his messages, maybe you can find some clues."

Hang up when you're done.

Sui Yi put down the phone, paused for a few seconds, and clicked on Weibo.

He and Ning Lan are in a mutual relationship. The first entry on the homepage is the Weibo posted by Ning Lan two hours ago - sorry, goodbye.

Just five words took his breath away in an instant, leaving him cold from head to toe.

Ning Lan will not come back.

He was such a stubborn person who could be seen as soon as he turned around because he didn't want to leave. If he wanted to leave, he wouldn't leave a trace, and no one would want to find him.

Sui Yi stood alone in the empty room, a gust of wind blowing through the hall blew the hem of his clothes, as if someone was gently grabbing him.

But when he raised his head, there was no shadow around him, and the smell of Ning Lan was long gone in the air, so cold that it was as if no one had ever come before.

That winter, Ning Lan stumbled into his life, and in another winter, he left quietly.
