After the MV was filmed, there was only more than a week left before the debut, and all AOW members entered the crazy training mode.
Two songs, two dances, as if the button was pressed to repeat in an infinite loop, from the practice room to the dormitory, there are only these two melodies in the whole world.
Ning Lan's foundation is poor, and the MV can be fooled by editing, but the live stage is not enough to watch. In addition to group training, Zhang Fan also arranged for dance teacher Xu Rui to give him extra lessons alone. Ning Lan was tired like a dried salted fish every day. She climbed back to the dormitory and lay on the bed not wanting to move. wake up.
"It's time to change the dressing, turn over." Sui Yi pushed him.
Ning Lan hummed and didn't want to move, Sui Yi had no choice but to knelt on the bed on one knee, turned the person on their backs, lifted the hem of the clothes, slowly tore off the old plaster, and put a new one on it.
"It's the fifth block, do you feel any better?"
Ning Lan nodded slightly and said weakly, "Yes, much better... Captain, you are my benefactor. If it weren't for you, I might have died here."
Gu Chenkai from the bed next door snorted and slapped the book on the table.
After lying down for a while, Ning Lan was so hungry that she struggled to get up to make instant noodles to eat.
After smashing the book, Gu Chenkai began to express his dissatisfaction with the sound of the violin. He played a random ding ding dong dong, but he was still unable to calm down. He quickly stood up and walked over to Ning Lan who was unpacking the seasoning package: "Hello."
Sui Yi wasn't there at the moment, Ning Lan guessed that he was calling her, and took time to look up at him: "Huh?"
"Don't try to seduce my brother."
The fork in Ning Lan's mouth almost fell: "What?"
Gu Chenkai was so angry that his cheeks were bulging: "My brother is not blind, stop dreaming." After he finished speaking, he turned around, took two steps and turned back, and said with disgust, "Going out to eat, it smells bad."
The young master couldn't afford to offend him, so Ning Lan went out with instant noodles, thinking while eating, it turns out that this kid hates me because of this
Very wronged, how can the captain be able to seduce him if he wants to seduce
Sui Yi's family education is excellent. He is gentle and responsible at a young age. People with self-discipline are often more sober than ordinary people. Although he still can't understand why he joined the group and debuted, it is impossible for a person like him to allow himself to be in the group. This place gets in trouble.
Besides, he should be straight.
The country can pass the same-sex marriage law, but it cannot eliminate some people's prejudice against homosexuality. Especially someone like Sui Yi who has been hurt by his family.
Ning Lan sighed softly, the plaster on her lower back was still hot, but her heart was cold.
He quickly finished sucking the noodles, and the children in the room were still playing the piano, so he didn't really want to go in. As soon as she was full, she started to feel sleepy. Ning Lan sat and dozed off with the noodle bowl in her hand. She woke up after smashing her head into the noodle bowl, and hurriedly jumped up and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
Someone was taking a shower inside.
The bathroom in the dormitory is not locked, there is only one shower room, and a simple wet and dry separation is made with transparent glass, so you can see who is bathing in it.
With a slender body, broad shoulders and narrow waist, he is Sui Yi.
Ning Lan stood there dumbfounded against the bangs that were still dripping with oil. A few of them verbally agreed to knock on the door before entering the bathroom at night to prevent someone from taking a shower inside, but they forgot it just now in a hurry.
Going out now seems even more guilty of being a thief. He silently turned his back and turned on the faucet and rubbed it violently.
Turning off the faucet, he still didn't dare to look back. He heard the water in the shower room was less loud than before, and said in a dry voice, "I'm sorry, my face got dirty and I came in without knocking on the door."
"Well, it's fine." Sui Yi's muffled voice came through the glass door.
Ning Lan ran away.
Until before going to bed, the carcass behind the misty mist was still dangling in front of his eyes. Sui Yi took a shower and went back to the room, walking back and forth in the room, he didn't dare to move.
Of course he knew that Sui Yi was in good shape. Everyone in the practice room wore T-shirts and sweatpants. Only Sui Yi's chest muscles stretched the fabric into beautiful lines, and only when he was sweating, the sweat slipped from his forehead to his cheeks. Running down the neck can give people a sense of beauty with strength and hormonal bursts.
Ning Lan was even a little envious of Gu Chenkai, so she could look at him openly and enjoy his care as a matter of course.
Not only is he good-looking, but he is gentle and dependable.
Ning Lan put his finger to his mouth and bit his fingertips fiercely. The pain made his head empty for a moment, and most of his messy thoughts were released.
Fortunately for him, everyone else in the dormitory was straight, so it wasn't so easy for him to be exposed.
The next day, Ning Lan woke up late, because she had a spring dream all night, and the dream was full of nude males with good physique.
She trotted to the bathroom with her clean underwear in her hand. She closed the door and was about to hold her feet against it when someone pushed open the door and stepped in. Ning Lan looked up, her heart skipped a beat—a naked man in clothes.
Sui Yi came back after running, washed his face with cold water, panted to greet Ning Lan, "Morning."
Ning Lan didn't dare to look at him. His eyes now have a perspective function, and with such a sexy panting sound, the whole thing is an audio-visual feast of 3D stereo surround.
He wiped the sweat from his palms on his pajamas, turned around and pulled the towel off the shelf: "Morning."
Sui Yi also took the towel and called him, "Ning Lan."
"Ah?" Ning Lan was seldom called by his name, and she was so excited that she almost choked with a towel full of water covering her face.
"You got the wrong towel." Sui Yi said.
… No wonder the towel smells like an adrenaline rush.
Ning Lan pulled the towel off her face and rubbed it with soap again and again: "I'm sorry, the two are the same length, so I took the wrong one when I was in a hurry."
Sui Yi seemed to be used to his recklessness, smiled and said, "It's okay."
Ning Lan bought a new towel and put it on the next day, but the old one was not willing to throw away, so she washed and dried it and put it away.
After entering the third month of the lunar calendar, the temperature gradually rises. The countdown to their debut debut, the AOW seven stayed in the practice room almost all day, singing, dancing, and running in with each other.
The company made a vague character design for everyone, and told them to show their personal characteristics and not to break through this range. Not everyone can accurately measure the contrast.
Ning Lan is the next-door brother Feng, and it is not difficult for him to laugh more. The service industry also needs to laugh. The target audience has changed from customers to fans. He knows how to please people.
Sui Yi and Fang Yu are a combination of two facades. It is said that some fans on Weibo have formed a CP for them called Gao Hua, the abbreviation of Gao Ling Zhi Hua. One is high above sea level and the other is beautiful like a flower.
After hearing that, Lu Xiaochuan blew his beard and stared, and asked Wang Bingyang, "What about me? Do I have a CP?"
Wang Bingyang turned around: "Yes, yes, and Xiao Chen, Chuan Chen CP."
Gu Chenkai has been on talent shows, and is familiar with this tying CP hype routine, so he put on his headphones and continued to listen to his songs.
Lu Xiaochuan was still dissatisfied: "Why not me and Ning Lan? Also, this name is too casual, I didn't bother to look at it."
Ning Lan has not been selected as a CP, even Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang have a "Mingyang CP" because of their good relationship during the draft, and he is the only one of the seven.
He's like the only outsider in the group.
The day before their debut, the families of Gao Ming, Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai came, and a group of people crowded into a small dormitory to cook hot pot. Parents are proud of their children, and travel thousands of miles from home to watch their children's debut performances. Even if Ning Lan has never felt such affection, she can't help but be infected by the warm atmosphere.
He quietly quit halfway through his meal, leaving space for a few families. He ran to the stairwell and sat by himself. After sitting for a while, he felt cold, so he simply stood up and practiced dance moves.
With a creak, the door leading to the safe exit of the stairs was opened, and Sui Yi flashed a flashlight on Ning Lan: "What are you doing here?"
Ning Lan squinted at the light, and twisted her sore shoulders due to fatigue: "I'm full, Xiaoxiaoshi."
Sui Yi held up a mango behind him: "Do you want to eat fruit after dinner?"
Two people sit on the steps and share mangoes.
A delicate pendant hangs on the key that Sui Yi carries with him, and when he breaks it open, it is a small knife. He quickly cut the mango in half, removed the core, cut several slices horizontally and vertically on the pulp, and handed it to Ning Lan.
Ning Lan took it and smelled it under the dim light of the corridor.
"How is it?" Sui Yi asked.
"Well, it's delicious."
"It was brought by Gao Ming's parents. His hometown is in a southern coastal city."
"Oh." Ning Lan began to think about what to order for Gao Ming. She couldn't eat other people's food for nothing, and asked, "Where is your hometown?"
"Local." Sui Yi replied.
Ning Lan remembered his Maybach with a local license plate, and realized that he was asking more than once: "I heard you speak without inflection, and thought you were not from the capital."
Sui Yi: "My mother is from Jiangnan."
"Oh, it's a good place." Ning Lan didn't know how to proceed. Of the seven people, only the two of them did not have family members to visit. Sui Yi was still a local, and everything seemed to be poking people's wounds.
Sui Yi asked first, "Where's your family? Are you coming to watch the show? The company will give your family a front seat."
Ning Lan shook his head: "No." Maybe it's easy for people to tell the truth in dim light, and he suddenly had the desire to talk, "My father died a long time ago, and my mother doesn't know where to go now. ."
"wave?"
"Yes, Lang, it means to go out and play, play crazy, and don't care about anything else." Ning Lan explained.
"Lan, does it mean waves?" Sui Yi asked.
Ning Lan was stunned. He never thought about why he was called "Lan".
"Maybe..." Ning Lan said unsurely, "My dad's name, he died early, and I didn't have time to ask him."
Sui Yi didn't speak.
"Sorry, I keep talking about death on a good day." Ning Lan felt that she was unlucky, and raised her hand and patted her mouth.
"No." Sui Yi said, "Although my dad is alive, he might as well be dead."
Ning Lan's eyelids jumped. He has a good memory. The content of the phone call that day is still very clear. If I remember correctly, today is Sui Yi's father's birthday
Under such a ruthless curse today, either the child is ignorant, or the father has really done something unconscionable.
He prefers the latter.
The heavy topic made the atmosphere a little cold and quiet, Ning Lan raised the mango in her hand: "Don't talk about those unhappy, come, cheers!"
Sui Yi was taken aback by his sudden action, his hands raised subconsciously, and the two mangoes touched each other.
"For freedom, for tomorrow!"
Ning Lan's voice was amplified several times in the small and closed space. The voice-activated lights outside the stairwell were all turned on, the door was not closed tightly, and the lights came in.
He was startled at first, thought someone was coming, and then thought that the two of them were squatting here to steal food, and they were inexplicably poked to laugh. The upper of the shoe was pasted with a layer of yellow pulp.
Can't laugh now. Sui Yi burst out laughing when he saw his dazed expression. The laughter between a boy and a man was low and beautiful, with a dull magnetic graininess.
He imitated Ning Lan and held the mango and said, "Cheers for tomorrow."
"No, no, no melons." Ning Lan lowered the corners of her eyes and waved her hands in frustration.
Sui Yi brought his mango to his mouth: "I haven't tasted it yet, you go first."
Ning Lan hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and took a bite, her teeth accidentally touched Sui Yi's finger.
Sui Yi didn't notice it at all. After he finished biting, he took a bite from the other end and commented, "Well, it's very sweet."
Before going to bed at night, Ning Lan's ears were still a little hot.
He used mobile banking to transfer the remaining money to his aunt's card, and then sent her a text message asking her to use the money to buy a set of clothes for Ning Xuan. He remembered that when he came home for the New Year, the little girl had no money at home because she had no money. Not happy to buy her new clothes.
He suddenly had a little hope for the future, and began to sincerely look forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
Days will always get better. as good as today.
