Anyone with a little common sense knows that coffee cannot be drunk on an empty stomach.

Sui Yi not only drank on an empty stomach, but also drank three glasses in a row, just to say a few words to Ning Lan.

It's a pity that Ning Lan would not respond under any circumstances except when he asked for coffee, he would come out and pick up a pen to draw a line on the card, and then help him fill a cup and put it on the table.

"did you have breakfast?"

"I bought a mango, do you want to eat it?"

"Are your feet okay?"

"I offended yesterday, is my mother-in-law still angry?"

"Are you... still mad at me?"

It was the first time that Sui Yi had grown so stubbornly chasing after a person to talk, but the other party didn't pay any attention to him at all, as if he regarded him as a wisp of colorless and odorless air.

When he thought that Ning Lan might be like this to every customer, a kid came to buy popsicles, bought one and ate one, stood at the door and ate it, and asked for it again after eating. When the child asked for the third one, Ning Lan pressed the freezer with both hands to persuade: "The child can't eat so many popsicles at one time, it will hurt his stomach."

Sui Yi, who drank three cups of coffee on an empty stomach and had a real stomachache, clenched his back molars, wishing to switch his identities with the children.

Ning Lan turned around and entered the room again, leaving him with a cold back. He finally couldn't help it, and rushed out the "I'm sorry" that he had held back for a long time.

Seeing Ning Lan's figure, she seemed moved, and Sui Yi immediately felt that he was too reckless, lest Ning Lan think that he was not sincere.

In the eyes of others, Sui Yi is a person who does not easily reveal his emotions. The teacher said that he has been prudent since he was a child. I can see some emotional ups and downs when I play the piano.

Thinking of this, Sui Yi hurriedly said, "I'll play the qin for you." After speaking, he realized that what he said was a bit thoughtless and arrogant, and corrected, "Do you want to... listen to me playing the qin?"

The one who responded to him was still Ning Lan's silent back of the head. He raised his feet, lifted the curtain, and went back to the inner room.

Politeness and reason told Sui Yi not to enter other people's houses without the owner's consent, he hesitated for a moment, but returned to the counter and stayed.

When Sui Yi asked for the last cup of coffee, there was something wrong with the coffee machine, and the water would not come out halfway after receiving it. Ning Lan took off the top cover and fiddled with it, then put it back and raised his hand and patted it hard, and the coffee from the water outlet suddenly spurted out. It splashed out and drenched Sui Yi who was standing by to help.

Sui Yi was wearing a light-colored T-shirt today, and the dark coffee-colored liquid spurted mottled on the chest. Ning Lan hurriedly took paper for him to wipe. The cotton fabric absorbs water very fast, how can it be wiped off with tissue paper.

Seeing him in a hurry, Sui Yi was about to say, "I'll go back and change another one." Ning Lan dropped the tissue, ran into the back room, and quickly took out a white T and handed it to Sui Yi: "Wear this first. , If you haven't worn it, change your clothes and I'll wash them."

Sui Yi didn't expect to catch the opportunity by mistake, and he was overjoyed. Before taking off his clothes, he suddenly remembered that it was in a canteen. He turned his head to look outside, the sun was sky high, and people were coming and going, and he was a little helpless.

Ning Lan saw his concerns, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Come with me."

Sui Yi followed Ning Lan in, passed the courtyard and the kitchen, and the first room on the left was Ning Lan's room.

There is a bed and a wardrobe in the room of more than ten square meters, and nothing else. The closet was wide open, and a lot of clothes were still on the bed, apparently because I didn't have time to clean up when I was rummaging.

Ning Lan gave Sui Yi the clothes, then bent down beside the bed and folded the clothes against him.

From Sui Yi's point of view, he could just see the thin waist under Ning Lan's thin shirt, and the white back of the neck. The fleshy earlobes appeared and disappeared with his movements.

Sui Yi used to like to kiss his ears and neck the most. These two areas are his sensitive areas. When touched, it turns pink, obviously ashamed. The ground is not allowed to touch, and the cleverness and arrogance on the body are seamlessly integrated, from head to toe is his favorite look.

As soon as Ning Lan got up after folding her clothes, the person behind her hugged her into her arms.

Feeling the heartbeat coming from her chest and the scorching breathing so close, Ning Lan's back suddenly stiffened, her lips twitched a few times, but she didn't make a sound.

"I'm sorry," Sui Yi said in his ear, "I know, I know everything... I'm sorry."

Ning Lan's head was empty for a few seconds.

What do you know

Know what

... that's why you came to see me

Ning Lan didn't say anything, didn't push back, Sui Yi tightened his arms, took the person into his arms again, put his head on his shoulder, and touched his cool earlobe with his lips, for fear that his tone was not gentle enough and deliberately He lowered his voice and said, "Go back with me, okay?"

Where to go back

Ning Lan shrank and shook her head subconsciously.

No, not going back.

Don't want to see them, don't want to be abandoned again.

Sui Yi, when his stubborn temper came up again, patiently said: "The fans miss you so much, do you still remember "Fu Jiangshan"? It's still being replayed on TV now, and they all praise you for your good acting, if you still want to act If you feel tired, let’s travel abroad first, okay? Don’t you want to learn to ski? Let’s go to R country and I’ll teach you how to ski.”

In the second half, Ning Lan didn't listen at all. He remembered the earthquake, the Black Sea of Ten Thousand People, and the endless abuses on the Internet.

After hiding here for so long, he was finally found.

What's next? Shouldn't he be dragged into the street for public display

Let him be full of lies, lie to others and lie to himself, let him covet warmth and wishful thinking...

Ning Lan suddenly began to struggle, Sui Yi finally wrapped the person in his arms, and refused to let go, Ning Lan was no match for him, and in a hurry, he raised his foot and stepped on him regardless, Sui Yi was in pain, and suddenly his center of gravity was unsteady, Falling down on the bed with someone.

He reacted very quickly, he rolled over and pressed Ning Lan under him, and pressed his two wrists together with one hand over his head like when he was joking before.

After doing this, just as he was about to lean over to kiss Ning Lan, he saw that his face was pale, his lips were shaking violently, and his throat was humming and panting, making some broken air sounds. He was not laughing. Word - let go of me.

Sui Yi didn't expect him to react like this. Looking at his unfocused, dark eyes, he forgot his actions for a while.

Then, Granny Zhang, who heard the movement, rushed out with a broom.

At noon, the sun was rising, and when he received the call, Sui Yi was standing at the entrance of the canteen department in a daze.

"Did you go to a place called Quanxi on the outskirts of Beijing?" Agent Wang Xu asked straight to the point.

"Um."

"A passerby took your photo and posted it on Weibo. Fortunately, I found it in time and dealt with it, otherwise you would just wait to be picked up and watched."

After Sui Yi heard this, his expression did not waver, he turned his back to the street, and gave a soft "um" again.

He usually doesn't talk much, but he doesn't skip a word at a time. Brother Wang immediately felt strange: "What are you doing there?"

"Find someone."

"Or that person?"

"Um."

"did you find it?"

"found it."

"Really? Thank God." Wang Xu patted his thigh, "Can you work well now?"

Sui Yi licked his dry lips and said, "He won't come back with me."

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Just find it, anyway, sooner or later..."

Halfway through the conversation, Sui Yi interrupted me lightly: "Brother Wang, I want to ask for a two-month leave first."

Wang Xu was overwhelmed by the mess made by his artists over there. On the other side of Starlight Entertainment, Fang Yu, who came out of the studio after recording the recording, learned that Sui Yi was in Quanxi, and drove all the way west. He slammed on the brakes on Quanxi Street and almost hit the Maybach parked in front.

After getting off the car, he hurried to the canteen, and when he saw Sui Yi standing stupidly at the door, he walked over and knocked on the door without saying hello.

At first, no one opened the door, Fang Yu shouted at the crack of the door: "Lan Lan, it's me, I'm Fang Yu, don't you even want to see me?"

After a while, the door opened, and Sui Yi watched Fang Yu go in.

About half an hour later, a sapphire blue sports car drove from a distance with the roar of the engine, and even played a drift in front of him before it stopped behind Fang Yu's car.

Lu Xiaochuan got out of the driver's seat and looked around in confusion for a while. Seeing Sui Yi immediately took off his sunglasses, he ran over as if he had seen a relative: "Captain, have you seen Fang Yu?"

Sui Yi glanced at the closed door of the canteen: "It's inside."

Based on his height, Lu Xiaochuan jumped up and looked inside, but he didn't see anything. Before knocking on the door, he realized that something was wrong, and asked Sui Yi doubtfully, "Captain, why don't you go in?"

Sui Yi pursed her thin lips and did not answer.

Lu Xiaochuan finally figured out something, temporarily dismissed the idea of going in, walked to Sui Yi's side and stood against the wall with him, pondered for a while, and said, "Xiao Yu only found out about it not long ago, he didn't tell me, it's the same today. After hearing from someone in the company, I called him, and he said he was already on his way."

Sui Yi made a sound of "um".

According to the time when Fang Yu started to like the video, it only took two or three months. He didn't tell anyone. He heard that Sui Yi came and appeared only because he didn't want to disturb Ning Lan's life.

With Ning Lan's current state, it's really not suitable to go back, and it might be the best choice to stay here.

"He... I said Ning Lan, still angry?" Lu Xiaochuan asked cautiously.

Sui Yi shook his head.

"Then why don't you go in?"

Sui Yi glanced at the closed door again: "I'm afraid he will get angry."

Lu Xiaochuan scratched his head, not knowing what the hell the two of them were doing. Seeing Sui Yi's dejected appearance, it was inevitable that he felt a little sympathy for each other. It should be almost the same, captain, don't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, try your best to get in front of him, give him what he wants, and put your face up to slap him if you want to beat him."

Seeing that Sui Yi didn't speak, Lu Xiaochuan thought he was so used to his seriousness that he couldn't keep his face down, and then he slammed: "At this time, my face, self-esteem, and so on, compared to my daughter-in-law, it's not a problem, believe me, as long as he still I like you a little bit, and it's guaranteed to work."

Hearing the last sentence, Sui Yi was stunned, and then replied softly, "Well, thank you."

Fang Yu stayed inside until half-afternoon and came out. When he came out, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and he felt bad for Lu Xiaochuan. Sui Yi demonstrates.

Sui Yi's attention was elsewhere. Fang Yu wiped away his tears and was about to leave. Sui Yi stepped forward and asked him, "How is Ning Lan?"

Fang Yu stared at him and said fiercely, "Who are you? Why should I tell you?"

Sui Yi pursed his lips and turned to knock on the door. Fang Yu chased after him and stopped him: "He doesn't want to see you, so don't quarrel with him."

"Did he say that?" Sui Yi asked hesitantly, "He said he didn't want to see me?"

Fang Yu snorted coldly: "Otherwise?"

Sui Yi's half-lifted hand hung stiffly in the air, before slowly putting it down for a while.

He silently returned to where he was and continued to stand guard.

In the evening, when Lu Xiaochuan asked if he wanted camping equipment such as tents and sleeping bags, Sui Yi's phone battery had already bottomed out. As soon as he pressed the word "no" and was ready to send, he suddenly vibrated and turned off automatically.

He put the phone back in his pocket, folded his arms, and looked up at the clouds passing through the blue night.

He hadn't eaten all day, only drank a few cups of coffee, and his stomach was tumbling and throbbing, and he didn't realize it.

Ning Lan was found by him from the vast sea of people, and now he is only separated from him by a wall. This realization made him feel at ease, as if people who traveled far in the desert saw the water source and rekindled the hope of living.

Without water, you can still survive for a few days, and only when you find water can you be reborn.

Ning Lan is his water.

He should have known.

There is no nightlife on Quanxi Street, and every household closes and turns off the lights very early. Sui Yi saw that the lights in the canteen were still on, so he kept guarding and did not dare to leave.

The door opened with a creak, Sui Yi stood up straight, watched Ning Lan come out from inside, and then walked towards him step by step.

He raised the thing in his hand: "Is this what you left in the store? I'm sorry I just found out."

Sui Yi observed Ning Lan's face through the street light, and it was much better than in the morning, and her cheeks were flushed. Then he looked down and saw the bag he was carrying, his eyes sank.

Seeing that he didn't pick it up, Ning Lan put the things on the ground and said calmly, "The coffee stains on the clothes have not been washed off. I will pay you how much."
