The red light turned green, Sui Yi turned on the speakerphone, put the phone on the center console, and released the brake with his right foot.

"Hmm." He responded.

The man on the other end of the phone hurriedly said, "Have you not slept yet?"

"Um."

"How's it going? Is the living expenses enough? Do you want to… "

Before the other party could finish speaking, Sui Yi interrupted: "Enough, no."

The attitude is tough and indifferent, and he doesn't want to say a word.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and he said, "That's good. It's your dad's birthday next Saturday. He misses you very much. If you have time, go home and have a look."

Even if he was rudely contradicted by Sui Yi, the man's voice was still gentle and gentle, as if he was not angry at all.

"I don't have time. I'm hanging up." Sui Yi didn't appreciate it at all, and was about to press hang up.

"Wait a minute, Sui Yi." The person on the other end of the phone hurriedly stopped him, "Teacher knows... I know that you still hate me. I did wrong about your mother. I didn't plan to shirk the responsibility, but things have already passed. After a long time, what you see is not the whole picture. Your father is not in good health recently, you at least come back and listen to what he has to say."

Sui Yi hung up the phone, and the car returned to silence.

After driving forward for a while, Sui Yi opened his mouth and said, "Are you awake?"

Ning Lan kept her face on the right side, her neck was almost stiff. Hearing this, she turned around slowly, yawned exaggeratedly, with a blank face as if she had just woken up: "Arrived?"

Sui Yi did not reveal it, and said, "It's almost time."

Ning Lan was actually very nervous. He didn't mean to listen to other people's phone calls, but it was such a private phone call, but he couldn't cover his ears, right? In this case, pretending to sleep is the best way to deal with it.

Parked the car in the underground garage of the community, and the two took the elevator upstairs.

"Look carefully, there are a lot of luxury cars in this community." Ning Lan said when the elevator door was closed.

Sui Yi paid no attention to this, and said casually, "Do you have any research on cars?"

"No, I like it, otherwise I wouldn't apply for a job at the 4S store." Ning Lan glanced at Sui Yi, "Hey, don't you think I went there to find a beating?"

Sui Yi smiled and shook his head: "No."

You can tell by the look on his face that he's not telling the truth. Ning Lan was going to explain a thing or two, but suddenly remembered that he had called him "husband" in order to get out that day, but he still didn't say the words. He coughed twice in embarrassment, raised his hand and touched his nose.

When getting out of the elevator, Sui Yi asked, "Are you still short of money?"

His voice was calm, and Ning Lan couldn't see his expression when he followed behind, so he couldn't be sure whether he really cared or scoffed at ridicule. But no matter what reason Sui Yi asked this for, the answer given by Ning Lan was the same.

"No shortage, thank you captain for your concern."

Sui Yi didn't ask any further questions. He took the key to open the door and went in. The teammates who came back early were lying on the sofa in the living room. The two of them cooperated to carry them back to the room one by one.

Sui Yi returned to his captain status and said to Ning Lan, "Tomorrow shooting the MV location, go to bed earlier."

No matter how healthy the young people are, they can't stand the erosion of alcohol. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the five hangovers recovered a little bit of energy.

In fact, it is a school playground. When the students are not around on Sunday, I packed a field and photographed the teenagers running in confusion under the sunset.

Before going out, Ning Lan secretly poked a height-enhancing insole in her shoes. She felt confident when standing, but not so smooth when running.

Fortunately, everyone was busy, and no one noticed that he was in a strange state. Gao Ming, Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai were practicing on the track on skateboards, while Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu were still quarreling.

"It's agreed that one, three, five, you live in two, four and six, and I live, yesterday and Saturday!"

"I know. Didn't I get drunk yesterday? I don't want to live with you either."

"Who knows if you did it on purpose or not. Seeing that I am rich, handsome and handsome, he threw himself at me."

"Then why don't I go to the captain?"

"Do you still want to hook up with the captain?" Lu Xiaochuan jumped up immediately, "I don't want to be ashamed of you, what kind of evil did the young master make a combination with you... Sister Zhang Fan, sister, you can change the combination for me, I don't want to be with this guy. Together, or you drive him out..."

Ning Lan shook her head straight after hearing this, and the quarrel was not over.

A few days ago, he learned from Wang Bingyang the reason for the grievance between the two. It is said that this was the first time Lu Xiaochuan, a prodigal son, saw Fang Yu, his eyes were straight, and he cried and shouted that he wanted to debut in a group with him. They don't say bad words, and they do some naive things to run on people.

Ning Lan asked what the rumor was, Wang Bingyang looked around, whispered in his ear, and said mysteriously: "I heard... I just heard that Brother Yu is covered by the gold master outside, so he usually doesn't live in the dormitory, and he still lives in the dormitory. Said that he was actually 21 years old, and he was 18 years old in order to make his debut. Brother Ming once saw him being picked up by a luxury car at the entrance of the company, and he himself did not deny it. A tacit secret."

Ning Lan laughed dryly after hearing this, thinking that changing her age and pretending to be young was not a first for me.

Fortunately, all the straight men in this group are gathered in the dormitory, and at least they can sleep peacefully at night.

The two people on the lawn quarreled a few times, and Zhang Fan went over and persuaded a few words before Lu Xiaochuan stopped.

"All gatherings of AOW!"

In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the flaky clouds on the horizon into brilliant gold.

Seven teenagers lined up on the rubber track, the director gave an order, they rushed forward, the warm spring breeze brushed their cheeks, they jumped towards the sky at the end of the road, raised their hands to touch what they could touch A ray of light closest to the sun.

At 8 p.m., the last member of AOW was announced. So far, all members are here. The official website of Starlight Entertainment released a group photo, and the seven members of Aite are in the order of announcement.

The group of five straight men sat around in the living room of the dormitory, each with a mobile phone. Wang Bingyang first became nervous, his trembling legs were next to Gao Ming, and then the shivering like sitting in a row spread, and he turned around. It didn't stop until Sui Yi's side.

"Captain, aren't you nervous?" Wang Bingyang's teeth were chattering.

Sui Yi shook his head and comforted him: "The company's publicity arrangements are very thoughtful, don't worry."

"But several of the reviews we received here are not very good..." Wang Bingyang glanced at Gu Chenkai cautiously, "Aww, won't it go black before it goes red?"

Gao Ming: "Crowmouth, don't talk nonsense."

Wang Bingyang shrank his neck and covered his mouth.

Ning Lan wasn't nervous, and she shivered with them on the surface.

He is very open-minded. It's not something he can control about being popular or not. It's enough for seven people to be popular. Within three years, everyone will be in the same group. His goal is to make money. I heard that the 18th line in the entertainment industry earns more than ordinary people.

After the official announcement, the seven people started to gain followers. The fastest ones were the three who participated in the draft, followed by the three who were extremely good-looking. Twenty minutes later, Ning Lan was left behind, and the gap widened. the trend of.

Wang Bingyang is not nervous now, and comforts him: "Brother Lan, are you not on camera, they can't find your beauty, and when the MV comes out, the number of fans will definitely increase."

Ning Lan just smiled and quit Weibo.

He has generally read the comments, "You can make a debut even if you look like this", "Starlight Entertainment's standards are getting lower and lower", "The expression is so greasy, the dimples are full"... More scolding, less likes, probably a replacement Because of Feng Qiu, netizens commented extremely harshly on him.

If he was really 18 now, he might be as angry as the day Gu Chenkai announced it, but he is 23 now, the so-called youthful spirit has long been worn down by the wind and rain, and even he himself. I can't even feel where my edge is.

Not letting anyone arbitrarily dominate his life is probably the last bottom line he wants to keep.

After 10 o'clock, the first wave of publicity dissipated, and everyone scattered back to the house.

Gu Chenkai was the first to take a shower, Ning Lan went to the balcony to collect clothes, and took Sui Yi and Gu Chenkai's dry clothes back to the room by the way, Sui Yi stood up to pick up: "Leave me here, don't move."

Ning Lan was stunned: "Huh?"

While distributing the clothes to the three beds, Sui Yi said, "You sprained your waist during the afternoon shoot, right?"

Ning Lan blinked: "How do you know?"

Sui Yi: "I'll be by your side when I hurdle."

Ning Lan recalled that during the afternoon shooting, the director temporarily wanted to add a picture of all the staff jumping over the fence on the side of the playground. He had been away from the campus for five years, so how could he do this, but Fang Yu, who looked so weak, didn't even have it. Disagreement, he had to bite the bullet, but the first time he turned it, he faltered. If there was someone behind him who supported him, he would probably land on his face and break his front teeth.

At that time, his head was full of pain, and he didn't have the heart to think about other things. Now that I think about it, according to the position at that time, Sui Yi was on his left.

"I'm sorry, I'm getting old... Oh no, I'm getting old before I get old... I have to thank you again." Ning Lan said embarrassedly, holding her waist.

Sui Yi put away the clothes and took a few plaster from the cabinet: "This effect is quite good, you can use it."

Ning Lan wanted to thank him again, and Sui Yi said first, "This is Xiao Chen's. He has injured his joints. I bought some to keep in the dormitory."

Ning Lan didn't hesitate, she picked up her clothes and gestured to her waist, and said awkwardly, "From your daily life, I deeply understand how difficult it is to be a brother."

Seeing that his movements were difficult, Sui Yi took the initiative to take the plaster and asked, "Do you have a brother?"

"No." Ning Lan lifted her clothes up again, revealing a thin waist, "Mother-born solo, is that what you mean?"

"Mother-fetus solo refers to being single from birth to the present, not an only child." After Sui Yi corrected it, he pressed the soft flesh on his waist, "Is it here?"

"A little bit down... and then to the right, right here... Hahaha, don't touch that, itchy!" Ning Lan suddenly laughed, curled her legs and ducked back.

Sui Yi managed to find the right place, but he didn't know where to put it after he moved like this, so he simply grabbed his other waist and tried to hold him down: "Don't move."

Ning Lan was pinched to the point of laughter, but she moved even more, laughing loudly and pushing Sui Yi's hand.

In the end, it was Sui Yi who put Ning Lan's two wrists together and pressed them behind him. The other hand quickly tore open the plaster, and slapped him on his waist with a "pop", ending the difficult process of applying the medicine.

Shooting the MV interior scene on Monday.

The debut album only released two MVs, which is considered a big deal in the circle, which shows that the company attaches great importance to the combination. The teenagers who are about to debut are in high spirits, and the theme song is well prepared in advance, so the shooting efficiency is very high, and it only got stuck when shooting the cute MV.

"Captain, let's make up the last shot, 1, 2, 3, Smile~" The director demonstrated how to smile for the Nth time, and the muscles on his face were sore that he couldn't feel it.

It's not that Sui Yi doesn't know how to laugh. In An Lin's words, it is "too official". If he laughs, he will raise the corners of his lips, just like a robot receiving instructions. He looks too upright, and if he doesn't laugh spontaneously, he looks a little fake, his eyes are not focused, and the hard photos can still make do, so there is no way for the video to deceive the audience.

"We have to laugh from the heart. You can imagine seeing a girl you like or a beautiful flower." The director described the beauty to him.

Sui Yi shook his head. He didn't have a girl he liked, nor did he like flowers.

Gu Chenkai searched for a bunch of bad jokes on the Internet and read them in front of him, but instead of making him laugh, he rolled himself all over the floor laughing.

All kinds of battle plans failed, and the director, exhausted, declared halftime.

Ning Lan rubbed her chin with her fingers, observed Sui Yi from the side, and then while he was talking to others, she stepped forward and pinched his waist coldly.

Sui Yi: "...what are you doing?"

Ning Lan was surprised: "Aren't you itchy?"

Sui Yi: "It doesn't itch."

Seeing that his expression did not look like a disguise, Ning Lan sighed: "Your laughing tendons may have been dug out by your brother in your mother's womb."

Sui Yi thought for a while and said, "He and I are not brothers."

Ning Lan: "..." Who is making who laugh

At the end of the break, the director felt tired and didn't like it, and said that he would shoot the last one no matter what. The camera is aimed at Sui Yi, and several other people in AOW are standing behind the camera with their teeth and claws, grimacing with their magical powers.

Sui Yi still couldn't find any laughing points, so she reluctantly braced herself to face the camera, trying her best to brew "from the heart" joy.

Glancing across the crowd, everyone was paying attention to this side, only Ning Lan, while no one was paying attention to him, huddled in the corner, raised the corner of his clothes and rubbed his lower back with a grin.

Sui Yi suddenly remembered yesterday that this guy was wriggling around to hide his itch. He was out of breath with a smile. A pair of dimples were embedded in his cheeks, and his eyes were slightly squinted, like two crooked moons.

"Very good, just laugh like this!" the director shouted excitedly, "Cut!"
