It's not easy being a star

Lai Zining stood on the awarding stage, surrounded by the members together. This is the third year that TOT has won the award. His excitement and joy are naturally self-evident. The audience is full of popular combinations, but finally stood on the stage The person who accepts the award is TOT.

Zhong Minyi nodded towards Lai Zining.

Lai Zining stepped forward and stood in front of the microphone. Today he was wearing a black formal suit with a white shirt as the base layer. Because he hadn't done it for a while, it grew a little longer, and he returned to his usual gentle hairstyle. He held the microphone and looked around the audience. In one piece, there were many cheering sticks belonging to TOT waving. He raised his index finger and said with a smile like he did every year: "Thank you my fans and friends for your support to TOT. We will continue to work hard! We will not let you Disappointed! Thank you to everyone who has worked for us and who has always loved us! Thank you everyone!"

After speaking succinctly, he stepped back and clasped his hands. Many fans noticed that, compared to his low-key and inconspicuous past, now even if he stands behind without saying a word, he can still be ignored. Is it the confidence in his eyebrows or the aura exuding from his whole body, and what fans are most looking forward to is every time he wins an award, raising an index finger seems to have the power of a certain mountain and river.

"Congratulations, Brother Lai!" Leo said sincerely.

"Thank you," Lai Zining nodded.

Lai Zining sat back in the RV under Sister Zhao's smile. He changed his calm outside and grabbed the passenger seat and asked, "Sister, what do you think of my performance today?"

Sister Zhao gave Assistant Han a thumbs up before answering: "Boss, you are getting more and more handsome every year!"

"That's right," Sister Zhao was never stingy with compliments, especially if the other party was her beloved child, "You are great."

Lai Zining was very happy. He took out his phone and started to look through it. He said, "I want to share this good news with my brothers! Hmm... Let me see if there is any video. Fans should have uploaded fan photos by now, right?"

While flipping through the pages, I suddenly received a text message. When I opened it, it turned out to be Zeng Lan, with two simple and clear words: Congratulations.

Lai Zining paused, for what happened in the past two months, Lai Zining still couldn't face it calmly. A brother whom he respected actually liked him, and he may have liked him for many years. Thinking of him makes him feel annoyed, so he feels a little Fortunately, Zeng Lan was always elusive, otherwise he didn't know how to face it so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.

But the information returned was nothing: Thank you brother! [smile]

There was no movement over there, and Lai Zining was also relieved. After thinking about it, he was a little tangled up. He felt that this was too deliberate. Although Zeng Lan had some thoughts about him, he was still a brother he respected, so he added another one: brother How is it going?Is your body any better?

Zeng went quickly: all right.

Here comes another one: pay attention to safety and be careful along the way.

Lai Zining didn't think much after seeing it, and chatted with Zeng Lan for a few words. He felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was not bad. He was about to send a message to his other brothers. Suddenly, a truck in front of him braked suddenly, and the car next to it quickly avoided the collision. To Lai Zining, Assistant Han turned the steering wheel violently, but there was a bridge slope a few meters away. If he wanted to drive more, he would have to fall off the bridge. At the moment when he was in a dilemma, another car came and hit him. The car hit hard.

"Bang!!!" A loud noise.

Still in shock, Lai Zining hurriedly got out of the car to avoid the scope of the accident, heaved a sigh of relief but immediately frowned, "Call the police!"

Assistant Han immediately dialed the phone.

Sister Zhao looked at it, hesitated, and said, "Zining, look over there... Does the person in the car look like Assistant Liu?"

what? ?

Lai Zining was startled, and took a closer look. Sure enough, he rushed up immediately, leaving Sister Zhao who stopped him behind, and rushed to the workshop. The person in the car was indeed Liu Shan. She passed out due to the collision, and her forehead was bleeding. Blood: "Sister!"

Liu Shan didn't respond.

Lai Zining searched again, and managed to get in through the gap between the two cars. Sure enough, he saw Zeng Lan in the back seat lying behind him. He turned around and shouted, "Come help!!!"

The people around gathered around, and with the help of more than ten minutes, Lai Zining finally rescued Liu Shan and Zeng Lan. Fortunately, the two passed out from some traumatic injuries. After the ambulance arrived, Lai Zining was worried. To keep up with the car, Sister Zhao had no choice but to agree, sitting in another car and following behind.

Lai Zining sat next to Zeng Lan worriedly, while protecting Zeng Lan from shaking too much, he saw Zeng Lan's eyelids move, and shouted in surprise: "Brother!"

Zeng Lan opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Brother, what do you think?" Lai Zining held Zeng Lan's hand, his eyes were red: "What's going on? Why did your car suddenly drive by?! If it wasn't for you...Brother, why did you come back?" What's wrong?!"

But Zeng Lan didn't answer his question, but said suddenly: "I know a person, he is as young as you, he has many simple ideals, and he never thought of giving up those ideals."

"Brother?" Lai Zining didn't understand why he suddenly said something else.

"Even after going through what many people in the entertainment industry have experienced, he still insisted on his own principles. He learned a lot from the friends he knew, and he also succeeded a lot, but the rumors never left him." Zeng Lan looked at Lai Zining, his eyes gradually became brighter than before: "But he never gave up and persisted. A person can grow no matter what, but the principle must never change."

Although Lai Zining didn't understand why, he nodded seriously: "I know brother."

Zeng Lan suddenly smiled. Lai Zining had known him for more than two years but had never seen him smile. Looking at Zeng Lan's smile, Lai Zining was inexplicably familiar, but he didn't know where.

"Zining," Zeng Lan slowly put Lai Zining's hand on his face, "you will have everything you want, it's just that the process is a little bit more painful, but from now on, your suffering will be less , because you have grown up."

Lai Zining looked at him blankly.

The smile on Zeng Lan's lips became more and more obvious, a deep dimple appeared on the same cheek as Lai Zining's, and his facial features began to gradually blur, the sharp facial features softened a bit, plump lips, and deep lines at the corners of his eyes .

Just like Lai Zining a few years later.

Lai Zining opened his eyes wide, watching another self appear in front of him.

Zeng Lan held his hand and said softly: "I don't ask much. I wanted to kiss you at the end, but I know that I am the same as you. We are the same. Although our personality is indecisive, we have our own differences." own opinion."

"I..." Lai Zining's hands were trembling, "I don't understand...I don't understand...brother...you..."

"You once hoped to have a patron saint," Zeng Lan said, "One day, I suddenly heard my own voice, a very young voice, immature, restless, still crying, aggrieved and pitiful." He smiled : "I thought that Lai Zining was like this in the past, but there was no protector at that time."

"elder brother……"

"I'm leaving." Zeng Lan said quietly, "Take care of yourself."

Lai Zining's mind was in chaos, and he hadn't figured out the three views that had overturned him for more than [-] years, but when he heard the news, he was at a loss and at a loss: "Then, will you come back?"

Zeng Lan smiled slightly.

Lai Zining had a lot of questions to ask, but his vision became more and more blurred. He blinked vigorously to make his vision clearer, but Zeng Lan's figure became less and less clear. Gradually, he felt that his body wanted to float away. He got up the same, and then fell on Zeng Lan.

Zeng Lan stroked his natural curly hair gently, with soft eyes.

***

Lai Zining opened his eyes, and the small chandelier emitting yellow light caught his eyes, he blinked.

"Zining, are you awake?" Sister Zhao came over, put down the porridge in her hand, and looked at him worriedly: "You, I told you to be careful, take a look, as soon as no one is staring at you, something will happen to you, wait Now I have to talk about Assistant Han."

Lai Zining looked at her blankly: "...what?"

Sister Zhao looked at him helplessly: "Fortunately, he didn't get hurt, but he fainted from fright."

"Sister," Lai Zining asked, "Where's Brother Zeng Lan?"

"Brother Zeng Lan?" Sister Zhao was puzzled: "A new friend?"

Lai Zining shook his head, holding his hair in a daze after sister Zhao went out, tears suddenly fell down after a long time, he was indeed crying for Zeng Lan, but more because he would never see that brother again, and he His subconscious mind told him that what he lost was not a brother who treated him well, it was like losing another self.
