Chapter 80: The text ends

Before Sui Yi joined the group, there was still a magazine cover shoot.

The shooting took place in the afternoon, and in the morning, Sui Yi took Ning Lan back home.

The weather in early March was warm and cold, and the car drove into the yard. Ning Lan saw a few magnolias in the flower bed waiting to bloom in the wind. Moving forward, two middle-aged men stood at the door to welcome them. The smiling one he had met was Sui Yi's teacher, and the other one with a serious expression must be Sui Yi's father.

Along the way, the teacher called several times to confirm the location of the two of them. As soon as they entered the door, the hot tea was served.

The teacher greeted them to sit down and said to Ning Lan, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just prepared some."

Sui Yi took a cup of hot milk and delivered it to Ning Lan, and pushed strawberry-flavored and cocoa-flavored desserts to him. Ning Lan was very embarrassed. Sui Yi winked, motioned for his elders to be present, and restrained a little.

The teacher was very happy to see that the two of them were doing well. After asking them about their current situation, she took out a booklet and showed them the selected house.

Ning Lan does not plan to sell the property left by Granny Zhang for the time being. Recently, a lot of paparazzi and fans have been coming to Quanxi. It is not convenient for him to show up in the past. The canteen has already planned to sell it to Aunt Jiang next door. Now the most important thing is to find a place to live.

What the teacher was looking for were duplexes and lofts. Ning Lan felt a pain just looking at the floor plan. Taking advantage of the intermission between the master and the apprentice, he was tired from discussing and gave his opinion in a low voice: "I think it's good to live in a dormitory, there's no need..."

"No, the house is too old, and the security of the property is not perfect."

I don't know if it's because of being in his own home, but Sui Yi is a lot tough, even if he explains it, his tone is strong that can't be rejected.

Sui Cheng, who had been silent for a while, shook the newspaper and coughed twice. Ning Lan rolled her eyes in her heart and picked up a piece of cake to cover her mouth.

Before lunch, Sui Yi was called by Sui Cheng to the study room to talk. The teacher sat next to Ning Lan with the booklet in her hand: "Look, children, if you really don't like it, I'll go and find something else for you."

Ning Lan was panicked by the "child" call. He was almost thirty, and the teacher didn't look much older than him. He waved his hands again and again: "It's all good, I don't understand the house, you can decide."

The teacher stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I knew that Sui Yi's child must be embarrassed to tell you directly, no wonder you didn't participate in the discussion just now."

Ning Lan blinked, not knowing why.

Seeing his expression, the teacher lowered his voice and asked, "He hasn't proposed to you yet, has he?"

On the way to the studio after lunch, Sui Yi spoke a lot, and spared no effort to brainwash Ning Lan with the benefits of a bigger house. The only thing that attracted Ning Lan was the large kitchen, but he still found it troublesome to clean. Sui Yi raised his hand and said to him. Ning Lan neither agreed nor opposed, and looked at him with a sideways smile.

Sui Yi stared at him furiously and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Ning Lan remembered the "marriage proposal" and "marriage room" the teacher told him just now, pursed her lips, and said vaguely, "No, you look handsome."

Sui Yi's Weibo has thousands of fans praising him every day. It stands to reason that he should have been immune long ago, but every time he is praised by Ning Lan, he is speechless like a squib, and his cheeks are also stunned. Faintly reddened.

There are three sets of costumes for today's shooting. When Ning Lan went in, he was shooting a set of costumes. The crisp clothing and leather short boots outlined Sui Yi's figure so tall and straight. His appearance is Zhou Zhengying, and his slightly sunken eye sockets add a charming sense of mystery, which reminds Ning Lan of his first movie "Night Play", and wondered why those characters, both good and evil, love to look for them He shoots.

Ning Lan was afraid of affecting their work, so she came out after watching for a while. After sitting on a chair in the corridor for a few minutes, the door of the studio next to him suddenly opened, and an old friend who hadn't seen for many years came out from inside.

Ji Zhinan also came to take a hard photo today, and was going to the birthday party in the evening to step on the spot. The person on the phone said that he was already waiting at the door and asked him to come out directly. Hanging up the phone, he continued to walk towards the exit, suddenly confronting the person in front of him, the sweet smile on his face froze for a while.

"Hello, Teacher Ji." Ning Lan greeted him.

In Ji Zhinan's impression, Ning Lan had been out of the circle for a long time, and he didn't expect to meet again here. He had nothing to say to him, so he nodded in response.

Ning Lan knew that Ji Zhinan was not in the mood to greet him, and he didn't want to waste his time, so he lowered his head and said straight ahead, "I'm sorry for what happened back then."

Ji Zhinan was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "It's okay, someone has already apologized for you. It's been so long, there's no need to worry about it."

His face was as usual, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't see the slightest negative emotion. Obviously, he really didn't care about this matter anymore.

The burden that had been on his heart for many years vanished in an instant, and Ning Lan was finally relieved.

Time is precious, and it is too late to enjoy the beauty of the moment, so why bother to focus on those unpleasant memories

Back at the residence, Ning Lan began to help Sui Yi organize the luggage needed to join the group. He made records in the notebook a few days in advance, put it in the suitcase, just crossed it out on the notebook, and the whole process was orderly.

But Sui Yi couldn't be happy, thinking that Ning Lan's rush to pack her luggage was driving him away.

After finishing packing, Ning Lan checked it twice, closed the box and turned around. Seeing the angry big kid next to him, he held back a smile and poked his face with his index finger: "Mr. Pufferfish, this is not handsome."

When he saw Ning Lan take out a white plastic water pipe from the cabinet, the dark cloud covering Sui Yi's face faded, and his eyes were straight.

"I originally planned to give it to you on your birthday, but the luthiers lacked materials and waited two more months." Ning Lan took out a slender violin bow and handed it to Sui Yi, "Try it. , if it doesn't work, I'll go to him for after-sales service."

How can something not be used by the baby.

Sui Yi rubbed rosin on Gong on the spot, and played a serenade to Ning Lan, almost putting Ning Lan, who had been tired all day, to sleep.

After loosening the horsehair and carefully putting the new bow into the case, Ning Lan yawned sleepily with his chin on his back, and asked him lazily, "Don't you have anything for me?"

Sui Yi paused for a moment, then closed the piano case and pressed the buckle tightly, saying, "Wait a minute."

Then, he took out a jewelry box from the drawer, Ning Lan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the whole person was full of energy, straightening his waist and waiting for his next words.

"A few beads were cracked, so I picked a few and added them. You can wear them to see if they fit the size."

As Sui Yi said, he opened the box and found a delicate red agate bracelet lying inside.

Ning Lan felt like she was on a roller coaster, her emotions were up and down, and the feeling of learning that Sui Yi was picking up the violin for him was also softened a bit. She pushed open the box and said, "Go to bed first, I have to get up early tomorrow."

After lying down for a while, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Sui Yi standing pitifully holding the box, sat up helplessly, picked up the string and put it on his left wrist, gritted his teeth and said, "I like it very much, thank you."

The next day, when Sui Yi was taken to the airport, near the security checkpoint, Ning Lan asked again without giving up: "Is there really nothing else you want to give me?"

Sui Yi was stopped by him, his eyes were confused, after a few seconds, he took off his mask, held Ning Lan's face, and dropped a kiss on his forehead.

Ning Lan: "...you better hurry up and hurry up."

Sui Yi didn't understand what angered him again. Two hours later, as soon as the plane landed, he texted him: [Baby is not angry]

Ning Lan couldn't do anything about this big baby who couldn't even coax people, sighed, and replied: [Don't be angry, go to the residence and take care of the luggage first to see if there is anything missing]

Sui Yi: [I am very happy]

Ning Lan: […The crew has dinner?]

Sui Yi: [Baby will help me pack my luggage for a lifetime]

Ning Lan was stunned for a moment, recalling that at the airport that year, the verbal contract that the two casually reached in the complicated feelings of heart and ignorance intertwined, and now it has really come true. He looked up at the warm spring light outside the window, raised the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself, "Fool."

After Sui Yi left, Ning Lan went back to Quanxi first, went through the handover procedures with Aunt Jiang, and helped her sort out the goods by the way.

When he was about to leave in the evening, there were still a bunch of people gathered at the door, most of them came to watch the fun, and there were also a few familiar fans of Ning Lan, one of whom stretched her arms and handed him a small basket: "Fresh strawberries. , go back and wash before eating!"

Ning Lan didn't plan to go back to the entertainment industry and had nothing to give back, so she took a few boxes of chocolates from the store and distributed them to them.

The girl who delivered the strawberries had an idea and asked playfully, "Is this a wedding candy?"

Ning Lan just smiled and didn't answer.

That night, the photo of Ning Lan smiling "sweeping candy" was posted on the Internet. It coincided with the arrival of spring for the CP fans who were chasing after the waves. Everyone was knocked out of the candy, and occasionally a few discordant voices said, " The captain didn't even admit that you were just smack dab here." He was quickly overwhelmed by cheers and screams.

In their eyes, this pair of CPs have already found true love, and it doesn't matter whether they are arguing or not. Of course, if you can openly ask for a marriage and post a marriage certificate or something, everyone will love it.

Recently, Ning Lan picked up his old trumpet and strictly followed the psychiatrist's words to "face yourself directly". Every day, he went to the major super chats to go around. One day, he happened to see a diamond ring named "Guess the diamond ring sent by the captain." How big is the vote, I clicked in without hesitation and chose the option "I am too timid to send (just kidding)", and commented: The captain is super cowardly.

Then the Weibo account "Captain's Eight Pack Abs" was ruthlessly ridiculed by fans, who all said, "How could our captain be so cool? Hahahahahaha", so angry that Ning Lan cut Weibo and went to the food blog Brush comments on the main account.

The theme of yesterday's video was "Love Bento". In fact, he didn't know what to do. Sui Yi was not at home, so he was too lazy to buy food and cook, so he made a set meal for one person with the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator.

There are all kinds of things in the comments, and most of them are meaningfully asking who he made it for. Ning Lan picked one and said "make it for you" when he heard a ding dong, and the message interface appeared. A new comment from each other's followers.

AOW Sui Yi: Mine.

The stormy waves that this comment caused on the Internet is not for the time being. In the past few days, Ning Lan's research concluded that as long as you surf the Internet or turn on the TV, your understanding of Sui Yihong's level will be refreshed.

For example, on the Qingming Festival, Ning Lan finished sweeping the tomb of Granny Zhang and swiped Weibo in the car on the way back. The first popular item was "Sui Yi is in a hurry in the middle of the night, suspected of exchanging scripts with actresses from the same crew".

Ning Lan hurriedly swept the draft, and then gave an expressionless thumbs up.

Sui Yi's side was the highlight of the day, wearing a thin vest from morning to night, finishing work after nine o'clock.

It was drizzling in the sky, and the air in the early spring in the south was cool and humid. Mi Jie handed him a coat and said mysteriously, "One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Sui Yi was busy using her mobile phone to see if Ning Lan had replied to him, and when she turned on the screen, there was not a single unread message.

"You and Huang Xiaoxi have been dragged again."

Sui Yi's forehead snapped: "What's going on?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Today, a marketing account posted the photos of you and her going in and out of the hotel together on the Internet. She wrote an article and made a fool of it. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that you are being slapped. Brother Wang has already made a statement, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. , it'll be alright."

The last two sentences seemed to mean something, Sui Yi closed his eyes tiredly, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "What about the good news?"

Mi Jie smiled. Seeing no one around, she covered her mouth and whispered, "Your family is here to visit. I'll give him the room key and let him wait at the hotel first." Taking credit, "Am I awesome?"

Sui Yi couldn't boast.

These two pieces of news collide, and the so-called "good news" will be greatly discounted.

However, the desire to see Ning Lan prevailed, and Sui Yi ran all the way back to the hotel without waiting for the crew's car.

When Ning Lan came to open the door, there was no expression, and Sui Yi followed him in, beating in his heart, before he could catch his breath, he surrendered to the crime and said, "Huang Xiaoxi and I have nothing. In the photo, I finished work late that day, and the lead actor sat on the set. The car went to the hotel together, and she and I were separated after entering the door."

Ning Lan didn't say a word, just arranging the things she brought.

Seeing Ning Lan's attitude, Sui Yi completely believed that he had come to Xing Shi to ask for his guilt. He raised his hand and said solemnly, "I swear."

Ning Lan didn't hold back, she burst out laughing, took out a square thing from the suitcase with the check-in slip, undid the thermal insulation bag outside, took out the lunch box and put it on the table, saying, "I promise not to. Eat my food?"

Sui Yi took a closer look, and immediately put down his hand: "Eat what you eat."

Ning Lan patted his hand over the lunch box: "Give me the things first."

"what?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Ning Lan pushed him to the side of the bed and sat down.

Sui Yi went to ask the teacher later, and knowing that the deeds were revealed, he could naturally guess what Ning Lan was asking him for. But he always felt that the preparation was not enough, either the environment was not suitable, or the atmosphere was not right, in short, it was just a little bit worse.

"Wait a while for me, okay? Just a while."

Ning Lan lost her temper immediately by his pleading words, and mumbled, "What are you waiting for, I'm already twenty-nine..."

Sui Yi was amused by his plaintive tone, leaned forward against the back of his head, and kissed his face that was almost transparent under the light: "You will always be eighteen years old in my eyes."

Ning Lan felt numb, her ears were hot, and her mouth was stubborn: "I was twenty-three when I first saw you... Go and find your Huang Xiaoxi, don't you two play a student couple for the first time, forever? Eighteen, hurry up, hurry up."

Sui Yi was laughed at by his unreasonable logic, and turned him on the bed to stop his nonsense.

I didn't eat the bento, I ate something else first.

After eating, Sui Yi went to take a bath with Ning Lan, who was soft into a pool of mud, and returned to the bed with renewed interest, lying on top of Ning Lan, kissing his face, kissing his ears, kissing the mole at the corner of his eye, and then going back to Ning Lan. I kissed his collarbone, and felt that every inch of his skin was very good, but nothing was enough.

A fluffy head moved to his waist, and the rough hair rubbed against the itchy flesh, making Ning Lan giggled. He stretched out his hand to push Sui Yi's head, telling him not to make trouble, his left hand was suddenly grabbed, and then, A ring-shaped metal object was smoothly placed on the ring finger.

Ning Lan didn't expect that his "moment" was really only for a while, so he raised his hand and stared blankly for a long time.

Sui Yi was also impulsive. After finishing it, he was stupid. He silently climbed out of bed and went to the cold love lunch.

Halfway through the meal, he finally regained his IQ, and declared his sovereignty to the person who was still in a daze on the bed: "Put this on, you are mine."

My love bento, my people, are all mine.

Through this visit, Ning Lan deeply learned the naive side of Sui Yi hidden under the prudence.

Before the ring was hot, Sui Yi could not wait to ask him to change his tune.

"What do you want to change? Isn't it good to cry normally?" Ning Lan turned over and continued to play with the ring in her hand. The platinum ring was set with a few broken diamonds, and there was a dazzling light from every angle. He liked it so much.

Sui Yi followed and climbed to his side: "If you want to change it, change one."

If it wasn't for the fact that Ning Lan made the lunch, he would have thought that Sui Yi was drinking some fake wine in this state.

Ning Lan put down her hand and compromised: "What do you want to change? You say, I'll refer to it."

Sui Yi reminded implicitly: "Two words."

"team leader?"

"no."

"Sui Yi?"

"no."

"Baby?"

"… no."

Ning Lan turned to the other side again: "Then I don't know."

Sui Yi took the trouble to turn around, looking expectantly: "Think about it again, it was the first time we met..."

Ning Lan became angry, covered his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Don't say it!"

After a week in the crew, Ning Lan packed up and returned to the capital.

Sui Yi thought he was covering it up well, but he ran to the hotel as soon as he finished work in the past few days.

On the day Ning Lan left, the two got up early, and they parted soon. They were reluctant to part, and they kissed uncontrollably in the hotel elevator. The car stopped on the first floor without knowing it. The director, who was about to go out for a morning run, thought in a trance that he possessed stealth skills, and watched the two of them kiss ecstatically for more than half a minute on the elevator.

When they got downstairs, the three walked out of the elevator one after another. Ning Lan was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head up. Sui Yi was still calm and kept Ning Lan behind her, and politely said good morning to the director.

The director nodded and said solemnly: "Xiao Sui, since you have such a good relationship with your partner, please send us a Weibo to refute the rumors. Who in the crew doesn't know that you have a family? This black pot of 'dividing the newlyweds', We can't afford it."

As soon as the plane landed in the capital, Ning Lan turned on her phone and swiped to Sui Yi's new Weibo.

The photo shows two overlapping hands wearing the same ring, with four simple and clear words: married, do not disturb.

Ning Lan couldn't remember when he took the photo, but felt that Sui Yi's announcement to the world was very naive.

Of course, he wasn't much better himself. He was in his thirties, and the more he lived, the more he went back, like a fledgling boy who had just begun to fall in love.

However, love is probably like this, in front of the person you like, you will always become stupid, want to depend on him, want to be pampered and arrogant, and want to give him more in return.

So, Sui Yi, who was thousands of miles away, received a voice message from Ning Lan at noon, 59 seconds long.

He opened it with excitement, listened intently to the natural noise for 58 and a half seconds, and finally heard a short "husband" in the last half second.

Then I listened to it again and again countless times, and laughed contentedly while listening.

Memories are a road that never ends. Fortunately, the hourglass of time flows slowly. When I get tired from running, I stop and rest. I still can't help but turn my head to look at the road I've walked, and reminisce about the pain of crossing the thorns, and the time when I held a clear spring in the mountains. sweet.

When we first met, Ning Lan patted Sui Yi's car and said, "This is my husband's."

At that time, one of them held his head proudly outside the car, and the other looked at it calmly and curiously in the car. No one thought that this scene would become an irreversible prophecy.
