Chasing Tides

Sui Yi saw that Ning Lan's lips were trembling, and her wet eyelashes covered her eyes, making it difficult to see the expression.

His appearance was almost the same as when he was about to run away at the entrance of the 4S store, but his face was paler, which may be caused by the fear of being caught first if he failed to escape.

Just now Ning Lan took the money and left in a hurry. Sui Yi walked to the window and saw that it was raining heavily outside. She borrowed an umbrella from An Lin and chased after her. When she got to the door, she only saw Ning Lan getting into a taxi, and he called him from behind. Ning Lan didn't hear the name, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stopped a taxi and followed.

Facts proved that his feeling was correct. The taxi in front did not stop at the entrance of the company, but turned two corners and stopped in front of the residential area where the dormitory was located.

He was still looking forward to it a second before knocking on the door, maybe he just remembered that the amulet was left in the dormitory on Ning Lan's way?He is reckless and careless, which is very in line with his behavior habits. Today is the premiere of AOW. It is impossible for him to be so careless and run away.

"Let's go, we're entering the arena immediately." Sui Yi stretched out her hand to pull Ning Lan, but Ning Lan hid for a while, with her toes still facing the door, as if she was ready to run at any time.

Sui Yi was a little anxious, and tried to snatch the bag from his hand. Ning Lan wanted to take it from behind, but forgot that she was still holding something in her hand. She moved, and the thing fell to the ground with a clatter.

Ning Lan squatted down in a panic to pick it up, but Sui Yi grabbed his outstretched arm and stopped him from moving.

Before the voice control lights went out, Sui Yi could clearly see that lying on the ground was a stack of money.

Among the five people in the permanent dormitory, Wang Bingyang withdraws no more than 200 yuan each time. Gao Ming’s cabinet is locked, and he only carries [-] yuan with him for emergencies. Ning Lan, who took two months’ salary, But has been tight.It's clear whose money this is.

"Is it Xiaochen's money?" Sui Yi still asked.

Ning Lan let him grab his wrist, still lowering her eyes: "Yes." After a pause, she said, "I have to go."

Although he already had guesses in his heart, this answer gave Sui Yi a resounding slap.He always misjudged and believed in the wrong people. He didn't know whether this kind of thing had something to do with age and experience, or because he was too stupid.

Ning Lan has not changed at all. He is selfish and snobbish. He is not even ashamed of being in debt or stealing in order to betray his teammates.He is crazy to think that this person is kind in nature, just because he smiles innocently and purely, and his eyes are clear and clean, which is very similar to that person.

Sui Yi felt something swelling and fermenting in his heart, burning and rolling as if his chest was about to burst.

Ning Lan struggled hard, but she couldn't get away. Sui Yi could hold both of his hands with one hand, but of course she couldn't get away.He pushed him with the hand holding the bag, his voice pleading: "I will pay back the money...I really have to go."

He actually has countless dirty tricks to make Sui Yi let go, such as bending his knees and kicking him in the crotch, but he doesn't want to do that.

The young man in front of him helped him and warmed him when he was cold, even if it was just out of responsibility or habit, it was enough for him to remember it in his heart.

Ning Lan saw that the veins in Sui Yi's hand holding his wrist were protruding, and she thought vaguely, who wouldn't be angry if this kind of thing happened?Sui Yi didn't hit him because he was already well-bred.His heart was empty, and he repeated dumbly: "I have to go."

After a while, he heard Sui Yi say, "How much more?"

Raising her head to meet Sui Yi's dim eyes, Ning Lan moved her lips in disbelief.

Sui Yi let go of his hand: "How much does it cost? I'll give it to you, and you follow me to the show."

That night, the debut of Starlight Entertainment’s new boy group this year at the FocusShow Music Festival was a complete success. Less than an hour after the seven teenagers finished their performance and left the stage, the topic of the new song #AOW出去星球# was on Weibo’s top ten trending searches , until the end of the grand ceremony, the ranking is still gradually rising.

On the way back in the car, Wang Bingyang and Gu Chenkai crowded their heads and checked Weibo, happily reading comments to everyone.

"When will the single be released? I want to repeat it [-] times!"

"Singing and singing are good, V-Wish's junior, you can be a fan."

"The new boy group with an average age of 18? Young and powerful!"

"Rapper is also good, fluent and no accent... Hey, I praise you Brother Chuan."

It was rare for Lu Xiaochuan to squeeze into the car with everyone, so he turned his head and said, "Is this called boasting? I'll come back and show them some Chinese-English rap."

Everyone laughed together.

"Wow, the tallest one is so handsome...Captain, I'm talking about you!" Wang Bingyang reached out and patted Sui Yi's shoulder in the front row.

Sui Yi folded her arms and leaned on the back of the chair to look out the window. Hearing this, she turned around with a tired expression: "What?"

Gu Chenkai pulled Wang Bingyang: "My brother is tired, let him rest."

The two continued to get together to read the comments.During the performance just now, everyone was terribly nervous, and there was nothing wrong. They showed their normal level in the practice room. The stage performance was complete and full of tension, especially the relatively hot song "Runaway Planet", which was matched with the advanced sound system. And lighting effects, the strong rhythm of the chorus part caused a sensation in the audience.

The CUT video circulated on Weibo is almost a large-scale fans scene, coupled with the wave of trolls and marketing accounts bought by the company to fuel the flames, even the praise of "the light of the national boy group" appeared. The teenagers are both happy and happy. Uneasy, can't wait to get affirmation and advice from the comments, and strive to perform better next time.

"Is the black jacket the one from the airborne? It looks better than the photo..." Wang Bingyang read halfway, and held up the phone to Ning Lan next to him, "Brother Lan, you said you look good!"

Ning Lan was distracted, Wang Bingyang pushed him several times before his wandering eyes focused, and he slowly turned his head.

Wang Bingyang continued to read: "It's just that the hairstyle is weird, the company should take care of it."

Ning Lan touched her hair subconsciously. At that time, she walked in a hurry and got caught in two waves of rain. Most of the fluffy hairstyle she made collapsed. There was no time to take care of the costumes.He was covered in cold sweat, and he noticed that the bangs on his forehead were glued to his forehead disobediently before he finished dancing a song. It's not easy to end without mistakes.

"Didn't the captain come to you with an umbrella? Why are you two still looking like soaked chickens, with all your makeup on?" Fang Yu asked.

Ning Lan forced a smile: "The umbrella is too small to keep out the rain."

When they arrived at the company, they parted ways. Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu went back to their respective homes. The parents of Gu Chenkai, Wang Bingyang and Gao Ming came to celebrate rarely, and took their children out to celebrate.Sui Yi rejected the invitation of Gu Chenkai's mother, who was his aunt, to have dinner together, saying that he wanted to go back to rest, and then walked back to the dormitory with Ning Lan.

The rain outside was still pattering down, Ning Lan opened the umbrella, hesitated for a moment, still caught up with Sui Yi's footsteps, walked side by side with him, and slowly turned the umbrella towards him.

Sui Yi didn't react much, and there was no emotion on his face. He took big steps. Ning Lan was holding an umbrella and almost had to run to keep up with him. He was already out of breath when he reached the stairs, and half of his body was soaked again. Described as embarrassing.

Back in the dormitory, Ning Lan wiped his face with a towel. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Sui Yi took his mobile phone and asked him for his card number.

"The upper limit has been reached, and the rest will be charged to your card tomorrow." Sui Yi said.

Ning Lan nodded, picked up the notebook beside the bed and tore off another piece of paper: "I'll write you an IOU."

"No need," Sui Yi said without warmth, "IOUs that have not been notarized do not have legal effect."

Ning Lan put down the pen at a loss, bit her lip, and said, "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he remembered that he had said the same thing to several creditors, and even let the new creditor in front of him hear it once. The word "as soon as possible" is almost nonsense to him.

Sui Yi remained expressionless, obviously not taking his promise to heart.He put the phone back into his pocket and said, "I hope you will abide by the agreement and stay at AOW until the contract expires."

Half of the word "money" was not mentioned, but Ning Lan's heart sank desperately like a stone rolling off a cliff.

It took Ning Lan some time to understand that money was not important to Sui Yi at all, he helped himself to keep the combination.Like Gu Chenkai, he is a young master who spends money without feeling pain. Naturally, he doesn't understand that money means that to a desperate person, he doesn't have to sell his body, it means freedom and tomorrow.

Selling conscience and breaking promises for a little money is what Sui Yi can't understand.

On the second day of their debut show, AOW's new song MV and music source were launched simultaneously, and it was placed at the top of the music chart before the morning passed. Starlight Entertainment's official Weibo took advantage of the heat and released two new news: [-]. AOW will be a guest tomorrow night Orange Live Room; [-]. The physical version of AOW's first single will be on sale soon, and a one-and-a-half-month nationwide signing event will be launched from the end of the month.

On the night of the live broadcast, Ning Lan received a call from her mother. Xie Tianhao had a violent temper, but kept his promise, and released him after receiving the money.

"You white-eyed wolf, you even told Jinfeng and didn't tell me when you changed the phone. Did you give birth to me? Did you give her money behind my back?" His mother asked him in a sharp voice on the phone.

Jinfeng is my aunt's name.

Ning Lan squeezed between her eyebrows and said, "No, I have to work, so I'll hang up first."

"Hey, wait a minute!" Mom called him, "Where did you get the 20 yuan? Do you have any money left? Mom is a little tight recently..."

Ning Lan hung up the phone without saying a word, and set the phone to silent.

The location chosen for the live broadcast is an empty studio. The host of the Sweet Orange live broadcast room loves to let the guests play some weird games. This time, a small game was specially designed for AOW to improve the tacit understanding between the members of the postgraduate entrance examination. Two groups.Sui Yi was the most popular, and the bullet screens were all over him, and he was given the right to choose first, and the host asked those who wanted to cooperate with the captain to raise their hands.

Ning Lan was afraid of being alone, so she silently raised her hand.

Everyone raised their hands, and Sui Yi chose Fang Yu.

As expected, Ning Lan placed the order and formed a team with the host, and finally lost the game as expected.

The punishment was very interesting. He was asked to choose someone to bite off a pocky chocolate bar together. The host first stated that he could not choose himself for the effect of the live broadcast.Ning Lan stood awkwardly in front of the camera holding a chocolate bar, scanned the six people standing in front of her, gritted her teeth and chose Captain Sui Yi again.

Gao Ming and Gu Chenkai were hostile towards him, Lu Xiaochuan and Fang Yu were uncertain about their tempers, Wang Bingyang hated chocolate, and just now begged him not to choose him, Sui Yi was the only one who could choose.

Since Sui Yi can share the same mango with him, and now share the same chocolate bar, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

The background music was relaxing and cheerful, Ning Lan held the pocky in her mouth and walked towards Sui Yi.

Sui Yi smiled, looking at him but didn't seem to be looking at him, he lifted his hand and broke the chocolate bar he was biting, then threw the half of his hand into his mouth, and said to the camera after eating: "That's all right right?"
