Chasing Tides

When Ning Lan woke up the next day, her whole body was in pain. It took only 5 minutes for the simple action of sitting up from the bed.

He always thought that his physical fitness was not bad. He used to work as a waiter and doorman for a whole day without any discomfort. Who knew that the lethality of Lajin was so powerful that the joints all over his body hurt so much that it was not his own.

He moved to the bathroom frame by frame like a dull robot, and turned on the tap only to remember that he bought everything yesterday, except for such an important thing as towels.After brushing his teeth, he resigned himself to his fate and prepared to wipe his face with roll-up paper just like last night.

"Didn't buy towels?" A voice came from behind.

Ning Lan looked up in the mirror. Sui Yi, who was half a head taller than him, was standing behind him. He was wearing a black sportswear, with sweat on his face. He must have just returned from a run.

"Well, I forgot." Ning Lan replied weakly.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Sui Yi raised her hand to open the cabinet above the sink, leaned forward, and Ning Lan also moved forward, and the two of them were close to each other with their chests against their backs.

Sui Yi quickly got the things, closed the cabinet and stood back to the original place, and handed the towel to Ning Lan: "It's new, wash it and use it again."

Ning Lan took it over: "Thank you."

He took Sui Yi's behavior as the captain's habitual care for the team members, just like letting him sleep in the bed yesterday.However, he was only thinking about the 4S shop, and he really didn't dare to have a good impression of this person easily.

Even though I thought so in my heart, I still chatted with the captain: "If you put the towel here, you won't be afraid that they will use it casually?"

Sui Yi said: "It doesn't matter, you bought it for someone's use."

The sink in the bathroom has been remodeled, and it is a double basin. Two people wash their faces side by side with the same gray towel, and hang them on the towel rack together after washing.

Ning Lan rubbed her chin: "How about this, I'll hang on the right and you hang on the left, remember not to make mistakes."

Sui Yi tilted his head just in time to see the mole on the left side of Ning Lan's neck, and replied, "Okay."

A group of five people went to the company together and parted ways on different floors.

Ning Lan came to yesterday's practice room, grinning to the music and exercising her muscles. Not long after, her manager Zhang Fan and dance teacher Xu Rui came.

Zhang Fan asked Ning Lan about his training in person. Xu Rui said that his body was a bit stiff and his sense of rhythm was good. Zhang Fan nodded and told Ning Lan to go to the music classroom for vocal lessons in the afternoon, and then hurried away.

In the middle of the dance class in the morning, Ning Lan limped to the mobile business office near the company to apply for a new card, and then sent a group text message to Zhang Fan and a few teammates. Yesterday, they had stored their numbers in the phone.

Gu Chenkai ignored him, and Sui Yi was the last to return, just saying "um", as if he was very busy.

Ning Lan didn't know what his teammates were training for, but he heard that there would be teammates who were not very good at singing with him in the vocal class in the afternoon, and he finally didn't have to practice stupidly alone. He was a little bit looking forward to it.

At noon, I ran into Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang in the staff restaurant. Ning Lan could see that the two of them had a good relationship, probably because they were from ordinary families. In addition, they had participated in the same talent show, and they had cultivated a lot of revolutionary friendships.

Wherever people go, they are divided into class areas according to grades, and he belongs to a lower class than these two.

Thinking of this, Ning Lan had no sense of expectation, and asked casually, "Are you going to attend the vocal music class in the afternoon?"

Wang Bingyang shook his head: "I won't participate, I'm not very good at dancing, so I've made an appointment with Brother Ming to teach alone in the afternoon."

Gao Ming bit his chopsticks and said, "Vocal class... probably the captain and Lu Xiaochuan will go, they both can't sing very well."

Ning Lan's eyelids twitched, so he's going to class with two cool bullies who are over 185?

"Where's Gu Chenkai and that Fang Yu? They don't have vocal lessons?" Ning Lan asked.

Wang Bingyang was delighted: "The two of them are the lead singers, and they haven't taken that kind of basic course for a long time."

Ning Lan's last bit of expectation was gone, and she even wanted to get cold feet.

In the afternoon, he arrived at the music classroom half an hour earlier. Someone was earlier than him. There were three rows of seats in the classroom. That person chose the corner seat in the last row and lay down there to sleep. Ning Lan could only see his yellowed hair, and A long trench coat.

Judging from his body shape, it was Lu Xiaochuan who didn't run away.

The average height of AOW is around 180, Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai just hit the line, Ning Lan and Gao Ming lagged behind, Sui Yi and Lu Xiaochuan raised the overall level.

Ning Lan stared at his legs, thinking that the 185 written online should not be false.Tall people will inevitably give people a sense of oppression. Ning Lan, who has a net height of 177.5, thought to herself, go to the supermarket at night to see if there are height-enhancing insoles for sale.

Sui Yi stepped on the point, and like Ning Lan, he chose the second row, with a space in the middle.As soon as he sat down, the teacher came.

The vocal music teacher, surnamed Zhao, is a middle-aged lady in her 40s. She is stylishly dressed and has a serious attitude. She leads the students to sing a round of scales. When she finds that the people lying on the back row are still awake, she knocks on the table in the front row with the pointer: "Lu Xiaochuan!"

The student who was called slowly raised his head, stretched his waist first, and dragged his voice: "To—"

"Sit at the front!" Teacher Zhao mercilessly knocked on the table a few more times.

Lu Xiaochuan walked to the front row with two long legs dangling, and sat down between Ning Lan and Sui Yi. Ning Lan could smell the strong fragrance of him, the fragrance mixed with many different perfumes.

The teacher continues the class.

Lu Xiaochuan still pretended not to listen carefully, bumped Ning Lan with his arm, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name? I haven't seen it before."

Ning Lan looked at his deep-featured face and gray-blue eyes with some surprise.Lu Xiaochuan was of mixed race, and his appearance was Caucasian. He did not expect that he could speak Chinese so well.

Lu Xiaochuan seemed to see what Ning Lan was thinking, smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. I grew up in the capital and can't speak English."

Ning Lan nodded: "Oh. My name is Ning Lan."

"Which is Ning and which is Lan?"

Teacher Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, and knocked on the table again: "Lu Xiaochuan, go out if you don't have class!"

Lu Xiaochuan raised his hands as a sign of surrender, and closed his mouth to express that he would not speak.He took the paper and pen from Sui Yi's desk on the right, wrote a line and handed it to Ning Lan. Ning Lan had no choice but to write his name on the paper.

Lu Xiaochuan replied: It sounds good and looks good.

Ning Lan took a look at him, only to think that pulling Kuba and so on was really just a human design, this person has nothing but hooliganism in his body.

He neatly replied two words: Thank you.

Lu Xiaochuan wrote down his mobile phone number to him again. After all, he was a teammate, and Ning Lan also wrote down his new mobile phone number.

In the end, Lu Xiaochuan drew a full lip on the paper, with skillful brushwork, he has drawn more than [-] of them at a glance.

Ning Lan drew a smiling face beside her, ending this boring exchange of notes.

Lu Xiaochuan grinned and threw the used paper on the table, Sui Yi next to him glanced at it and frowned almost invisibly.

In the evening, Ning Lan didn't go back with his teammates. Gao and Wang ate in the cafeteria, and Sui and Gu ate in the restaurant. He couldn't afford anything.

Gao Ming borrowed him only 800 yuan of 200 yuan. He decided to eat only five canteen meals this month, and the rest will be settled with instant noodles.

After shopping around in the supermarket, she couldn't find any height-enhancing insoles. Ning Lan took three pairs of underwear. If he doesn't wash his clothes, he will stink.

When he returned to the dormitory, his teammates hadn’t come back yet, so he washed his clothes while taking a shower, and dawdled in the bathroom for more than half an hour. When he came out, he wrapped his cotton-padded jacket around his lower body and went to the balcony to dry his clothes.

So Sui Yi pushed open the door, and saw two white legs dangling in front of her eyes.

Ning Lan hummed the title song of her debut single in vocal music class, and hopped on tiptoe to throw the clothes on the clothesline. Fortunately, Gu Chenkai's long blanket hanging on the inside just blocked it, otherwise her buttocks would be It's about to be exposed.

When closing the door, Ning Lan turned her head when she heard the voice, and greeted him: "The captain is back."

Sui Yi let out a "hmm", turned and entered the room.

Ning Lan went in after drying her clothes, wrapped the quilt around her body, held hot water in her arms to warm her body, and sneezed occasionally.He has been afraid of the cold since he was a child, and the heating in the north is not working well, and he often spends the winter with coughing and stuffy nose.

Sui Yi, who was sitting at the table not knowing what she was doing, suddenly stood up, opened the cabinet and rummaged through it, and brought some baby warmers to Ning Lan: "Use this, it will get hot when you put it on."

Ning Lan stretched out her hand from under the quilt, and took it: "The captain still prepares this thing himself?"

Sui Yi has broad shoulders and a strong body, and Nuan Baobao doesn't match him at all.

Sui Yi said: "Xiaochen sent it from his mother, he doesn't need this."

All of Ning Lan's clothes were washed and dried on the balcony. She was naked. After searching for a long time, she found a place to stick it on the front of her underwear. It looked like a palace warming sticker, but at least her belly was warm.

Accepting help three times in two days, Ning Lan is not a white-eyed wolf without gratitude. Wrapped in a quilt, she stood up and jumped to Sui Yi's table, put a bagful of food bought in the supermarket on the table, and said generously: "I want to eat Whatever, take whatever you want."

Sui Yi: "I have eaten, thank you."

Ning Lan knew that he didn't like these cheap fast food, so he took back the plastic bag happily, and glanced at the book he was reading, which seemed to be a music-related book with staves on it.

"Captain read music?" Ning Lan asked.

Sui Yi nodded.

Ning Lan's eyes lit up, and she dragged the stool next to her to sit down: "Can you teach me? Today's class is like listening to heavenly scriptures."

He originally wanted to ask Gao Ming for advice when the neighbor came back, but he didn't know where those two boys went wild, and they haven't come back yet.

Sui Yi paused and said, "Okay."

As the team leader, Sui Yi is quite patient, and Ning Lan is not stupid, so he figured out how to sing the notes at different positions on the five lines in a quarter of an hour. When he just started talking about the time value of the notes, the door of the room was pushed open, and Gu Chen Kai is back.

The young master pulled his face today, not sweet at all, when he saw Ning Lan sitting next to Sui Yi with bare legs, he immediately rolled his eyes, looking at him as if he was looking at something dirty.

Ning Lan guessed that he should be sure that he was the one who was in the 4S store that day. After all, Sui Yi was sure. The relationship between the two brothers is so good, it makes no sense not to talk to each other in private.

Ning Lan stood up carelessly, thanked the captain again, and then went back to her bed with the quilt in her arms.

The next day when he met Wang Bingyang in the practice room, he knew why Gu Chenkai was in a bad mood yesterday.

Last night it was Gu Chenkai's turn to make a public appearance. The company's official website released his personal information, and the comments below were mixed.It is well known that his family is well-off. During the draft, some people said rhythmically that he was able to rank so high because of swiping votes. Anyway, his family is rich.

Someone popularized this matter in yesterday's comment, and immediately a bunch of people followed behind to complain without thinking, so Gu Chenkai was very angry, and yelled at Vitas all night in the practice room as if to vent.

Ning Lan felt that the young master was just doing it, and secretly thought in her heart, I'm not afraid of being scolded, let me be a rich man.

Today was still a half-day dance class and half-day vocal music class, Lu Xiaochuan sat next to him shamelessly, asked Sui Yi for a piece of paper like yesterday, drew a huge heart on it and handed it to Ning Lan.

Ning Lan was already very speechless, he didn't feel any pleasure being molested by a kid, but he couldn't offend his teammates, so he pressed the tip of the pen firmly on the paper, drew a ferocious smile and returned it.

Lu Xiaochuan saw the crooked face smiling lowly, scribbled and corrected it, and then handed it to Ning Lan, only to see that there were two dots on both sides of the smiling face, which looked like dimples, and a line of words was written next to it: Smile a little.

Ning Lan, who had dimples when she laughed, couldn't laugh.

This vocal class lasted for a long time, and it was dark when I left the company. Ning Lan quickly packed up her things and went out, but Lu Xiaochuan caught up with him. He patted Ning Lan on the shoulder: "I have something to do today, please ask you another day." Have a meal."

Then he walked to the silver-gray sports car parked at the door, opened the door and did not forget to blow a kiss to Ning Lan, Ning Lan waved at him perfunctorily, turned around and bumped into Sui Yi who came out of it, Ning Lan smiled at him friendly , he probably didn't see it, and left alone.

In the evening, Ning Lan specially bought a notebook for three yuan, dragged the stool to Sui Yi's desk, and asked him to continue explaining the staff to herself, but was rejected.

"Look at this, I can understand it." Sui Yi gave him a copy of "Basic Music Theory" with a green cover.

Ning Lan always felt that something was wrong, and didn't know where to ask, so she had to go back and sit on the bed with the book in her arms to read.

After a while, Gu Chenkai came back, feeling much better than yesterday, holding a pack of imported snacks that seemed to be more expensive than Ning Lan's big pack, eating it, and even ran to the next door to share lap.

It just didn't feed Ning Lan.

Ning Lan didn't want to eat, and he was not a child.Gu Chenkai is really childish.

Sui Yi is not going anywhere, moody and inexplicable.
