Chasing Tides

Chapter 24

Ning Lan finally chose to jump down facing outwards.Let go of the hand holding the edge of the bed, and the moment you turn around, you don't feel so scared.

Sui Yi took the man into his arms, fearing that he would not be able to stand stably when he landed, so he used some strength to lift him off the ground, and Ning Lan spun around on the spot with his feet hanging in the air before landing.

Heartbeat is a little fast, probably because of nervousness.He withdrew from Sui Yi's arms: "Thank you."

"How many times a day do you want to say thank you to me?" Sui Yi also took a step back and turned on the lamp on the table.

Ning Lan felt that there was no way to answer this question, it depended on how many times Sui Yi raised a hand or helped out, and Sui Yi didn't seem to want to know the answer very much.

There was noise in his head, and he looked down at his appearance belatedly. He had a white vest and blue pants. Even if the body had such a sense of beauty, it was ruined by this attire.

Ning Lan took a few steps forward, trying to turn off the light, but Sui Yi probably thought he was thinking of other things, and stepped back vigilantly, his heel hit the suitcase lying on the ground, making an abrupt sound.

Why is this scene so similar to being forced into prostitution?Ning Lan thought.

He reached out to turn off the light, Sui Yi quickly walked over, and when the light was turned off again, he had already crawled back to the upper bunk.

Ning Lan turned around and asked anxiously, "What are you doing up there?"

Sui Yi lifted the blanket to cover her body, and turned her back to him: "Sleep."

"Didn't we agree to come down together?" Ning Lan felt cheated.

"Go to sleep." Sui Yi said, "I have to get up early tomorrow."

Ning Lan raised her foot and wanted to climb up again to throw herself into her arms, but Sui Yi reminded him with eyes on the back of his head, "Come up again, I won't go down to pick you up."

Ning Lan paused, thinking for a moment, humming, retracting the foot she had stepped on, and sat back on her bed helplessly.

The person on the upper bunk didn't speak anymore, Ning Lan lay down listlessly, and the first thing she did when she picked up her phone was to order a set of pajamas online, the kind that would slide down when she undid the belt.

I woke up in the middle of the night and thought about it in a daze, and felt that impulse shopping was wrong, so I took out my phone from under the pillow, and returned the pajamas that were ordered less than three hours ago.

This flashy thing can't be reimbursed by the sponsor, whoever buys it is an idiot.

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them walked into the bathroom. Ning Lan was half asleep and half awake, as if she was stepping on cotton, and almost smashed the handle of the toothbrush into her mouth.

"What are you doing up so early?" Sui Yi asked.

With foam in her mouth, Ning Lan half-closed her eyes and said, "I'll see you off."

Before leaving, Ning Lan checked the luggage for the last time. Ning Lan, who was already conscious and changed her clothes, took over all the work just like last night. After checking quickly, she closed the zipper. The box was a bit heavy, and she couldn't lift it with one arm.Sui Yi took the suitcase from him, then looked down at his wrist: "Does it still hurt?"

Ning Lan followed his line of sight to look down, only to realize that he was referring to the circle of red marks pinched last night.

"It's okay, it's easy to leave marks on my body since I was a child, it doesn't hurt." Ning Lan said indifferently.

Sui Yi didn't speak, opened the drawer of his desk, took out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao aerosol from it, returned and took Ning Lan's hand, and sprayed it on his red wrist a few times.

The cold aerosol sprinkled on the skin, Ning Lan curled up her shoulders and shrank back, but Sui Yi grabbed her tightly and couldn't move.

"Spray some of this and it will heal quickly." Sui Yi said.

The smell of the medicine was very strong. As far as the airport lobby, Ning Lan raised her hand to sniff. The pungent smell was still there, and the skin on her hand was also faintly hot.

Sui Yi, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, but Ning Lan didn't stop, and almost ran into his arms with inertia.

Sui Yi helped him up: "Here we are, you can go back."

Ning Lan looked at the time on the big screen of the flight information: "It's still early, I'll take you to the security check."

Both of them were wearing masks, Sui Yi couldn't see Ning Lan's expression clearly, and said, "You don't have to do this."

Ning Lan blinked her eyes and said innocently, "What kind?"

Sui Yi patted the suitcase: "It's enough to help me pack my luggage, thank you..."

Before he could say a word, he was pressed back into his mouth.Ning Lan held down the lower half of his face with his hands through the mask, and said with wide eyes, "Please don't say it! I will lose my life."

Sui Yi was confused by his brain circuit, nodded in agreement, and Ning Lan took his hand away.

Near the security checkpoint, Ning Lan couldn't go in again, and told Sui Yi: "In the future, remember to leave all the work of sorting things to me."

Seeing his serious face, Sui Yi thought of joking: "Why, can you help me tidy up for the rest of my life?"

Ning Lan blinked again, as if calculating whether the deal was worth it. After a while, her eyes slightly bent, she nodded heavily, "I think it's okay!"

That night, I received a message from Sui Yi: 【Are you there?Where is the razor? 】

Ning Lan replied quickly: [Inside the black toiletry bag between the lid]

After a while, the other end asked again: [pajamas? 】

Ning Lan typed like flying: [White T-shirt?On top of the pile of pants, under the underwear]

After a few rounds of questioning and answering, and finally taking care of the young master remotely, Ning Lan couldn't help asking: [How do you usually go out?Don't have luggage? 】

Sui Yi replied: [Take.This time you cleaned it up]

After pondering for a moment, Ning Lan realized that Young Master Sui was throwing the pot away.

There was only one person in the dormitory, and Ning Lan was lying on the bed, crossing her legs freely, sending a message with her feet flicking: [How is it, are you still used to it? 】

Sui Yi: [Very good]

Ning Lan asked him again: [How long will the filming be? 】

Sui Yi: [One month]

Ning Lan felt that domestic idol dramas are really shoddy and can be filmed in a mere month, but at the same time, she checked the calendar, one month, it will be autumn soon when Sui Yi comes back.

He didn't send any more messages, and scrolled up the chat records in a bored manner, and found that the last time they talked was Sui Yi got the male lead of the show and invited everyone to dinner. The last time was before the live broadcast in S City, asking him to go to their Room to eat.

Ning Lan pressed and pressed one by one, and deleted all these messages and those messages that she had sent before but did not receive a reply.After deleting, he pulled down his finger, and the chat history between him and Sui Yi started with the word "Are you there", creating an illusion that the relationship between the two is not bad.

He raised his wrist and smelled it. After taking a bath, the smell of Yunnan Baiyao became much weaker. He was thinking about whether to take it secretly and spray it again. When his phone vibrated, Sui Yi sent another message: [The aerosol is on the right side of my desk. In the first drawer, you spray yourself, at least three times a day]

Ning Lan looked at the phone for a long time, typed and deleted a few words, went back and forth for a long time, and finally only replied a simple "yes".

The captain is not there, and the other AOW members who are at home are like rubber bands that are suddenly loosened after being tensed for a long time. They are limp and limp, unable to do anything.

Zhang Fan was afraid that they would be useless if they were idle, so he arranged lessons for everyone.Ning Lan was dragged by Wang Bingyang and took a few acting classes together. Get found the fun of acting, at least it was much more exciting than singing and dancing.

Fang Yu also took on a drama, playing the heroine's ex-boyfriend, with few roles, and the filming period was only one week, so the location was filmed locally.Ning Lan visited his class in his spare time. The heroine was not as delicate as Fang Yu. Before shooting, she kept asking the camera to pay attention to the angle and not to make her face too big.

"This drama doesn't make sense at first glance. If you put your face there, the heroine must be blind to break up with you." Ning Lan finished speaking and took a big bite of ice cream.

"Hey, don't eat it yet, I haven't taken a picture yet." Fang Yu posted his own ice cream, leaned against his, and began to fiddle with it to find the angle.

Ning Lan was bored waiting, and also took out her phone and clicked a picture.

Fang Yu took a dozen or so photos before stopping, adding a filter and saying, "I don't know if the heroine is blind or not, but the male protagonist must have bad eyesight."

Speaking of the male lead, Ning Lan asked him: "Didn't Lu Xiaochuan insist on playing the leading role last time? It didn't work out in the end?"

Fang Yu snorted coldly: "If you want to be successful, what's the point? The blind and stupid male lead, this show will be confused before it airs."

Ning Lan laughed until her shoulders shook, her phone ding-dong, and she received a special attention reminder, Fang Yu tweeted her two hands holding the ice cream.

By night, the comments were buzzing with speculation as to who the other hand belonged to.Some said it was the heroine of a new drama, but the hands should not be so big in comparison; some said it was an assistant, and another girl squatting outside the crew said that Xiao Huahua had little filming content and did not bring an assistant at all; more said it was the captain, The CP fans took a wave of candy without thinking, and it wasn't long before they were slapped in the face by senior fans with poor skin color. Although Sui Yi was not dark, she was not as white as in the photo.

After a lot of hard speculation and exclusion, the fans finally came to the conclusion that it was Pao Pao Lan's hand.

Ning Lan reposted this Weibo in the evening, with a love emoji, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, not only CP fans, but even group fans found it incredible - Pao Paolan, as the third party and cannon fodder in the Gaohua CP article With a fixed candidate, why did he suddenly get together with the protagonist to "show affection"?

The high flower CP fans were in a state of panic for less than half an hour, and then they began to give play to the nature of CP fans, self-comforting brainwashing - we flower people are so good, we are not angry when we are robbed and the team leader's couple dance, we send this kind of micro The blog must have been arranged by the company.

A small group of fans who have been fans of Yilan CP since ShowCase quietly gathered in a topic called "Sui Wave Chasing the Waves". They all defined Yilan CP as a "cult" and whispered to each other. Shocking - the main palace and the new favorite get along so well, the captain is really good!

Ning Lan didn't read the comments after reposting Weibo, so she naturally didn't know the fans' over-interpretation.

Before going to bed, he posted the photo of the ice cream to Moments, and when he woke up, he saw Sui Yi giving him a like.He followed Zan to Sui Yi's circle of friends, and saw that his latest update was from yesterday, and it was also a photo of a sunrise in the distance. The roof in the photo was crooked, as if the person who took the photo didn't Stand up straight, with only one word - sleepy.

Ning Lan tasted it, and felt that he now looked like an 18-year-old boy should be.Reciprocally gave a like, and when he switched back to the chat interface, his thumb was hanging on Sui Yi's dialog box for a long time and he didn't press it.

He didn't know what to say, and he didn't want to just quit.

At this time, God helped him make a choice, the chat interface suddenly changed to waiting for a call, and the phone vibrated continuously.

As soon as Ning Lan clicked on the connection, her younger sister Ning Xuan's voice came from the receiver: "Brother, brother, I want an Apple watch."

Ninety-ninety percent of Ning Xuan came to him for money.Ning Lan just bought her a new mobile phone and laptop last week, and now she wants an Apple watch. The frequent and unreasonable demands make Ning Lan feel that she has deviated from her original intention.

"Can't you tell the time on your phone? What do you need a watch for?" Ning Lan asked.

Ning Xuan: "It's an Apple Watch, which is different from ordinary watches. It can monitor heart rate and make and receive calls."

Ning Lan ignored the disdain in her words and asked, "Is this thing helpful for studying?"

Ning Xuan didn't answer, but said, "Everyone in our class has them."

Refers to the TOEFL class she took.A group of children in that class who are going abroad are generally in good family conditions. Ning Xuan wants to compare with them, but she is very reluctant.

Ning Lan narrowed down the dialog box, opened the browser to check it, and said patiently: "Brother went to check it, voice reply text messages, navigate, play music, measure heartbeat, and other functions of step counting, mobile APP can do it , there is no need to buy this..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Ning Xuan cut it off rudely: "It's only more than 3000 yuan, and you don't even give your mother a fraction, why are you so stingy!"

Ning Lan buzzed in his head: "How do you know..."

Ning Xuan plausibly said: "Your mother came to our house yesterday to get rid of it. She said that you just paid her 3 yuan. She bought a gold necklace, gold bracelet, and gold earrings. Cut it, it's terrible."

Ning Lan didn't speak for a long time, and the strength in her body seemed to be drained in an instant.

He never imagined that they would compare each other with the money he gave, and be proud of being able to drain / him to the last drop of blood.

Ning Lan leaned on the chair and sat down, staring at her leg that was still covered with plaster because of the bruise from dancing practice.Ning Xuan on the other end of the phone was still shouting loudly. He didn't want to hear it, so he fumbled and hung up.

The sun jumped out of the horizon and cast a golden light on the room, but Ning Lan felt cold all over and couldn't warm up.

Sui Yi's desk was very clean. He reached out to get the aerosol he had put on the corner of the desk, but the phone vibrated suddenly. He hesitated for a moment, but picked it up.

It was a message, sent by Sui Yi: [Is the wrist injury healed? 】

Perhaps because of the glare of the sun, Ning Lan's eyes were a little sore.He replied: [OK]

Sui Yi didn't seem to believe it: 【Really? 】

Immediately afterwards, another message was sent: [Show me]

Ning Lan knew that he wanted to see the photos. The photos in Moments showed his left hand, but he couldn't see his red right hand.

[Really want to see? ] Ning Lan asked him.

Sui Yi only replied with one word: 【En】

Ning Lan sniffed, opened the train booking website, all the high-speed train tickets to J City were sold out today, and only standing tickets were left for those with K and T prefixes.

He flipped through it for a while before he felt stupid, so he quit to look at the plane ticket instead.

The round-trip air tickets add up to more than 1000, so let's just buy half an Apple Watch.

Fuck Apple Watch.

Seven hours later, Ning Lan called Sui Yi while standing at the corner of J City Film and Television City.

"Hello." Sui Yi received a call from Ning Lan for the first time, and called out uncertainly, "Ning Lan?"

Every time she heard him calling her name, Ning Lan's heart beat violently, as if something was growing crazily inside, as if it was about to come out.

"Sui Yi." It was the first time Ning Lan called him by his name directly, "I'm at the gate of J City Film and Television City, and I just arrived."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, people were coming and going around, and it was extremely noisy, but there was no sound on the phone.

Just when Ning Lan couldn't contain herself and was about to hang up the phone in a panic, Sui Yi spoke.

"Stay there, I'll pick you up."
