Chasing Tides

Walking into the company building, she first met An Lin who hurried down from the elevator, and Ning Lan greeted her happily: "Where is the beauty going?"

When An Lin saw that it was him, she stopped in her tracks: "Go and find the No. [-] hooligan, rehearse this afternoon, and don't run around!"

Ning Lan nodded and said yes, An Lin looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, observed for a while, and asked in surprise, "When did you get your ears pierced?"

Ning Lan touched her earlobe: "Just now. How is it? Does it look good?"

"It looks good, it fits your skin well. Do you have erythromycin ointment? Be careful of inflammation."

Ning Lan only listened to the first half of the sentence, and flashed into the elevator with a smile: "I'll go up first, Miss An, come on!"

Upstairs, passing the office, Zhang Fan saw him from the window and called out, "Ning Lan, come in too."

Ning Lan was forced to stop, and moved in sideways in a strange posture. Unfortunately, Zhang Fan noticed the extra thing on his ear at a glance.

"Did I ever tell you that if you want to move anywhere, you must report to me first!" Zhang Fan slapped the table and said sharply, "Can you still listen to me?"

Ning Lan sneered: "A few days ago, didn't you think it was troublesome for me not to be able to wear earrings? No, I'll hit you."

Zhang Fan was just annoyed at him acting without authorization, and snorted softly and said, "A few days ago? It's been more than half a year, and your reflex arc is long enough."

Ning Lan bowed his head in time to admit his mistake, and promised to make a written report even if he cut his nails in the future. Zhang Fan was amused by him, and waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and cut to the point.

She won a role in her hands, a small guard in the large-scale costume drama "Overturning the Country" that will be filmed in the next year. It's brilliant, and the production team has a good reputation, and it became popular before it was filmed. Now the actors in the circle have heard the news and rushed in. There have been several rounds of hype on the Internet, and now only a few leading actors have been finalized, including Xue Ying, Guo Hao , Ji Zhinan...

Ning Lan listened absent-mindedly, her mind had already drifted to the practice room next door.

What are you having for lunch today?

What would Sui Yi's reaction be when he saw his ears?

Pa, the pen in Zhang Fan's hand hit his forehead, and Ning Lan came back to his senses: "Huh?"

"Piercing your ears and knocking your soul out? Repeat what I just said!"

Ning Lan covered her forehead with a bitter face: "Opportunities are rare, so fight hard."

"The first sentence."

"The finalized actors are Xue Ying, Guo Hao, and Ji Zhinan."

Ning Lan has an excellent memory, and she didn't say a single word wrong.Zhang Fan glared at him warningly, and continued: "After all considerations, I think the two of you are the most suitable image, and I have a good chance of winning this role. Both of you should prepare and go after the MTV awards ceremony next month." Audition, here's the script."

Zhang Fan seeks stability in her work, and what she calls "very confident" basically means "100% in the pocket".

Wang Bingyang took the script excitedly, and couldn't wait to read it.Ning Lan didn't answer, and said euphemistically: "I'm still a mess in singing and dancing, so I won't join in the fun."

Zhang Fan doesn't like him being passive and sabotage before trying: "It's good to accumulate some experience, don't be afraid of suffering when you are young."

Ning Lan was not afraid of not being able to take care of other jobs, nor was she afraid of suffering, but seeing Wang Bingyang's eagerness to try, she remembered that he had taken acting lessons so seriously before, and she didn't want to be a competitor with him, for fear of hurting her feelings.

"Please forgive me. I had the most NGs in commercials last time. I was asked to shoot a movie, and it was a costume movie. I couldn't control myself when I was afraid of embarrassment, so I slapped the scissors on the camera."

Zhang Fan is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Ning Lan didn't want to make trouble with Wang Bingyang, he angrily blamed Ning Lan for a few words, and agreed that Wang Bingyang went to the audition alone.

I wasted some time in the office, and Sui Yi was no longer in the practice room when she came out, so she sent a message to Ning Lan saying that he and Gu Chenkai had something to go out, and asked Ning Lan to settle the lunch by herself.

Ning Lan became wilted all of a sudden, went to the cafeteria and ate a bowl of rice with no taste, after eating, she lay down on the sofa in the company lounge for a while, woke up feeling her ears were swollen, and went to the pharmacy downstairs to buy erythromycin Apply ointment.

In the afternoon, all members of AOW gathered to rehearse tomorrow's "The First Challenge of Love". Yes! Why didn't you tell me? I would have given you earrings if I knew it!"

While Ning Lan was talking to Fang Yu, she sneaked a glance at Sui Yi who was talking to Gu Chenkai by the window, Sui Yi also looked over, her gaze stayed on Ning Lan's ear for a moment, then she quickly looked away.

Ning Lan wasn't sure if he saw it, or if he saw it and found it ugly.

The schedule in the afternoon was tight, and there was no chance to talk alone. When I returned to the dormitory at night, Sui Yi and Gu Chenkai went into the next room. The two brothers didn't know what they were chatting about.

Ning Lan was tired all day, but still wanted to wait for him, so she sat at the table and opened "Basic Music Theory", pretending to read it.

When Sui Yi returned to the room, Ning Lan had already fallen asleep lying on the table, her right cheek was pressed against the table, her slender eyelashes trembled with her breathing, and the star stud on her left ear was so conspicuous that he couldn't even see it .

Sui Yi raised his hand and gently touched Ning Lan's swollen earlobe, feeling far less calm than he appeared on the surface.

At that time, he had chosen a birthday gift for Ning Lan, turned around and saw the pair of earrings at the counter on the other side, and immediately thought of that person, and bought them together by coincidence.It was only later that he felt that it was unnecessary. He had already made up his mind to watch from afar and not disturb his life. Even if they met, he would not give away the pair of earrings.

Seeing them worn by Ning Lan now, Sui Yi felt complicated, but he was not unhappy, after all, he gave them to Ning Lan himself, so Ning Lan couldn't be blamed for being wrong.

It's just that he didn't expect Ning Lan to have his ears pierced for this pair of stud earrings.

Sui Yi pushed Ning Lan: "Wake up, don't sleep here."

Ning Lan slept lightly, opened her misty eyes, grinned when she saw the person in front of her, raised her head, put her arms around Sui Yi's waist, and said softly in his arms, "You carry me to sleep."

Sui Yi's heart softened, she hugged Ning Lan in this posture, and wobbled towards the bed.Ning Lan hit the bed with her buttocks, pulled Sui Yi to lie down together, and hugged his neck stickily.

"Don't make trouble." Sui Yi pinched the soft flesh on his waist.

Ning Lan was so scratched that she giggled, and she refused to let go. She managed to catch her breath, closed her eyes and pretended to be half awake, touched her ears and asked Sui Yi, "Does it look good?"

The earlobe was slightly swollen, as if stained with sporadic blush when she was shy.

"It's pretty." Sui Yi said.

Ning Lan smiled sweeter, her eyes completed two crescent moons: "Is it true?"

Sui Yi stared intently for a while, touched Ning Lan's smooth forehead with her lips, and said softly, "Really, go to sleep."

Unexpectedly, the special section of "The First Challenge of Love" was not recorded together with the main part.

The shooting location was by a man-made lake in the outskirts of the city. More than 100 staff members and more than a dozen cameras surrounded the serious guests on the east side. The special guest AOW was filming in a corner 500 meters away, with three staff members and one camera.

During a break during the filming, seven teenagers wrapped in cotton jackets huddled together, with their backs against the howling north wind, looking at the place where the crowd gathered, sighing with envy, wondering when they would get to that point.

"We're okay, does PJ company know? The men's group that debuted around the same time as us can't even get street commercial performances. I have a friend who said that he hasn't been paid for four or five months in a row. More than 80 fans came to the meeting, and after signing one round, there will be another round, so awkward that he wants to go home and farm." Gao Ming said.

"Most of our popularity is driven by the captain, right?" Lu Xiaochuan shook his legs and said, "I hope that the captain's idol drama next year will be a big hit, so that we can get a lot of glory."

Fang Yu squinted at him: "Don't rely on others for everything, can you do your best?"

Lu Xiaochuan sneered: "It's true that I don't have some people working hard, and I don't have a few CP fans with blue sky on their heads to support me. Where do I have the confidence?"

Fang Yu's beautiful eyes widened, as if he was about to explode, the peacemaker Wang Bingyang jumped out and stood in between the two of them: "Oh, one is prosperous, the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged. Let's support each other, and we will be popular together, hahaha, together."

Gu Chenkai interjected: "Speaking of which, is Yangyang going to audition for "Overturning the Country"?"

Wang Bingyang got excited when he mentioned this: "Yeah, he and Ji Zhinan acted as brothers, does Ji Zhinan know?" He pointed to the place where the crowd gathered, "One of the resident guests!"

No matter who he saw, Gao Ming felt sour, squinting over there: "I know, who doesn't know him."

Only Sui Yi didn't look over there, he took water from the table and distributed it to everyone: "Drink more water, there are two dances to be done later."

Ning Lan continued what he said just now, and said with a smile: "Yangyang, come on, brother is optimistic about you."

Gu Chenkai snorted when he heard the words, and the problem of running on people came up again: "Take care of yourself, you, woo, hold back professional households."

"Xiaochen." Sui Yi stopped shouting, Gu Chenkai was full of resignation, but restrained himself, and did not speak again.

Before he came back from S city yesterday, he swiped the screenshot of Ning Lan's birthday live broadcast in AOW chat. He didn't expect that Sui Yi went back early to celebrate Ning Lan's birthday.He didn't understand why his cousin was so kind to Ning Lan. Although his cousin was also kind to him, Ning Lan was an outsider, and he didn't feel at ease when he saw it. He was afraid that his cousin would be cheated by him.

Gu Chenkai was spoiled and used to show all his emotions on his face. Seeing that he looked like he was looking for someone to fight after a firecracker, Sui Yi took him out and did his ideological work earnestly and let him Focus on the overall situation of the combination, and don't make random guesses about others.

Gu Chenkai thought that if Ning Lan wasn't bad, she wouldn't cheat Sui Yi of his money.Sui Yi said that he was lent to him, not cheated, and then forced Gu Chenkai to promise that he would not provoke troubles in the future as his brother and captain. Gu Chenkai had been in awe of this brother since he was a child, so he had to agree aggrievedly.

Now, the more you look at this liar, the more unpleasant it becomes. Gu Chenkai took a big sip of water and gave Ning Lan a vicious look, thinking that there will always be a day when I will catch your braid.

"Boys are assembled, let's continue filming." The camera brother shouted to this side.

The seven people took off their coats and stood up. Ning Lan was only wearing the see-through outfit shown in the promotional photo of the second single.

Sui Yi appeared behind him calmly, used her body to shield him from the wind, and asked him, "Have you used the warm patch for you?"

Ning Lan shook her head: "That thing is too thick, and it will show marks under the vest. If the dancing clothes are lifted up later, people will not be able to laugh when they see it."

The two were at the end, Sui Yi held his hand from behind and rubbed it in his palm.

Although the contact area was limited, Ning Lan felt warm all over her body.

"It's so warm...thank you, Captain." Ning Lan said in a low voice, with a strong dependence that he didn't even notice in his tone.

Sui Yi's eyes just fell on Ning Lan's small and exquisite earlobe, and the rosy skin set off the stars were extraordinarily dazzling.

Ning Lan moved closer to him, turned her head and said softly, "Tonight we..."

Before he could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly came from the crowd gathered in the distance. First, there was a woman's scream, and then someone shouted for help: "Teacher Ji! Teacher Ji has fallen into the water!"

Sui Yi was shocked physically and mentally, and let go of Ning Lan's hand suddenly in panic.
