Chasing Tides - Chapter 53
The temperature in Sui Yan’s eyes quickly cooled.
He sat up and got dressed and got out of bed in one go.
When he stood up, Ning Lan took his hand: “Where?”
Sui Yan thought that he was pretending to be false, whatever he depended on, and what he was unwilling to do. The two of them had to take the relationship they needed. He should feel relaxed when he got this answer, but his heart was heavy and his breathing was not smooth.
He climbed back to the upper bunk, not wanting Ning Lan to find out he was angry, and said dullly, “Sleep.”
Ning Lan murmured “Um” vaguely and did not make any more noise.
In the early autumn season, the first yellow leaf of the camphor tree by the road fell, and the third single from AOW arrived.
The title song “FOREVER” is a lyrical R & amp; B. It changed the previous energetic youth style and sang the love song quietly.
Fans are still buying it, and electronic albums have led the way in sales in the music store. Each station is fighting for sales. The Gaohua CP station ranks second. The first is Suiyang’s largest personal station. The AOW group station only ranks seventh. After debuting for more than a year, the popularity is obvious.
Lu Xiaochuan turned around and couldn’t find his CP station with Fang Yu. He was very dissatisfied and prepared to build one by himself. Fang Yu took his mobile phone and continued to pull down, turning to the end of the number of albums purchased, bumped Ning Lan: “Well, you are on the list.”
Ning Lan raised his eyelids. A user named “Sui Bo Zhu Lan Chinese First Station” purchased 52 albums, ranking 98th. The head picture was a picture of him and Sui Yan embracing each other during a double dance on Showcase. Ning Lan smiled, thinking that it was not easy for this station to survive.
This single didn’t come out of the physical, so there was no signing sale. The company gave them several fan meetings in several major cities across the country.
Since the “Challenge of Love” aired, fans have been thinking about watching Sui Yan playing the violin, so Sui Yun performed it several times with the piano. The company knows that the piano is expensive, and it also buys insurance for the piano before boarding the aircraft. It is also the same today when it goes to S city. When consignment was made, Gao Ming still lamented that “people are not as good as piano”.
After getting off the plane, seven people drove to the venue. Ning Lan’s left foot joint hurt badly. He felt uneasy, but Fang Yu made a fuss. He reported to Zhang Fan that Ning Lan could not dance on stage.
Ning Lan only sang the lyric song that stood without dancing and was sent back to the backstage.
He was alone in the lounge, with Sui Yan’s harp beside him. Ning Lan glanced for a few times, but finally couldn’t hold back. She opened the case lightly and touched the body carefully.
This is Sui Yun’s harp, which looks as unattainable as himself, like a natural luminous body, which is not what he should sing at all.
The phone vibrated in his pocket, and when he took it out, Zhao Jinshan again sent a text message for daily counseling. It was nothing more than those who told him to seize Sui Yang, even if he could not grasp it for a lifetime, he would quickly get some benefits from him, such as “Golden Stone Good Words” “, The final conclusion is always” Mom is for you. “
Ning Lan turned the phone to mute and carried it back. He didn’t know what to do to be considered good for himself. He only knew that if he let his mother relax and confirm his relationship with Sui Yun, according to her personality, he would be entangled with Sui Yun and disturb him.
He couldn’t pull Sui Yang into the water anyway.
The last stop of the fan meeting was still in the capital. The next day was Ning Lan’s official birthday. At the end of the event, a beautiful maple sugar cake was pushed onto the stage. The host asked: “Do you know what day it is?” Give the microphone offstage.
Only a few lala people shouted “Lan Lan’s Birthday”, which was the coldest and most embarrassing scene that AOW met after his debut. Ning Lan didn’t know that there was such an arrangement, squeezed the microphone in his hand, and bowed, “Thank you.”
When she went back, An Lin asked Ning Lan in the car why she hadn’t forwarded the program promotion sent by the company official Weibo yesterday. Ning Lan said: “I changed my phone and can’t access Weibo.”
An Lin looked at him suspiciously: “No wonder I haven’t seen you more blogging for a few days. Go back today and remember to post one, thank the fans for helping you celebrate your birthday.”
Ning Lan nodded. He was holding a box of strawberry chocolates from a fan girl at the clapping party, and it was also her who signed and sold the finger cots last time. Just now the girl’s eyes were red and she said to him, “Eat more, and see how thin you are, but don’t really fly away.”
Ning Lan thought that even for the sporadic fans who are still supporting him, they should cheer up, at least keep a smile on the stage and not let them down.
At the dormitory, Sui Yan talked to An Lin downstairs, and while entering the room with a piano case, Ning Lan was holding a new mobile phone to edit Weibo.
There is always a picture to post on Weibo. He doesn’t know what to take. He turns on the front-facing camera. He doesn’t even see the pale face on the screen. He wants to go and takes a succulent plant on the windowsill.
This was brought to him by Fang Yu when he came to the dormitory last time, and he was seriously warned that he would take care of him.
Ning Lan knew that Fang Yu was worried about his mental state, and all said that the plants had spirituality and would bring vigor to people. He even knew what careful Fang Yu moved.
After posting Weibo, Ning Lan did not read the comment or read the private message, quit directly, then turned off the phone and put it back in the box.
Sui Yun walked around the room for a few times, seemingly packing her clothes. In fact, she looked at Ning Lan from time to time, and saw that Ning Lan shoved the phone back into the box and put it in the drawer.
He is leaving the capital tomorrow for a recording of a travel show. The program card is from the end of the year to the Spring Festival, in order to avoid the busy period of artists, so as to free up a sufficiently long recording cycle.
The travel locations are arranged abroad, and the schedule is very close. In addition, the music refresher course that the teacher helped him to connect with the program recording seamlessly at the beginning of next year, and he walked for more than two months without any time to return.
Just downstairs, An Lin told him that Ning Lan rejected the invitation to participate as a guest in two recordings of the tourism program.
Sui Yang helped him to win this opportunity, and the show team also intentionally added another popular fresh meat. Sui Yan was afraid to directly tell Ning Lan that he would be rejected, so he adopted a roundabout policy and asked An Lin to come forward and ask, pretending that it was a job pulled by him child. Who knew Ning Lan still refused.
Sui Yun originally intended to let Ning Lan go out to relax, not only Fang Yu alone saw that he was in a bad shape recently.
When eating together at noon, Sui Min noticed Ning Lan’s protruding wrist bone on the arm of her sleeve and felt that she hadn’t agreed. It would be more tiring to go out to record the show, and it would be better to rest at home.
After dinner, Ning Lan began to help Sui Yang organize his luggage.
The time spent this time was extraordinarily long. He stood up and turned over the cabinet a while, squatted down and fiddled with the contents of the box, and a charger he checked back and forth three times before he remembered that he had put it in the zipper mezzanine.
Sui Yan looked over his shoulder, occasionally raising his hand. The afternoon sun penetrated through the glass and came in. Ning Lan’s body was shrouded in it, turning into a small soft ball, the halo around the body gradually gathered to the middle, and the pale skin became gray-green, faint and transparent. .
Sui Yun was a little scared for no reason. As if blinking, this person might evaporate out of thin air.
He even had the urge to take Ning Lan in his pocket and shake his head before he wiped out this weird thought from his mind.
After Ning Lan took a shower in the evening, she saw Sui Yun lying on her bed reading a book, rubbing for a while, turning off the light, climbing to bed, and lying in his arms.
Whenever this time, Sui Yan felt that Ning Lan was like a cat, silent, but it was impossible to ignore his existence.
If only I could be so good all the time, if only I would be so alone.
Sui Su sighed, put down the book, and held Ning Lan, Ning Lan also hugged him, breathing entangled, the temperature mixed, as if telling the two of them.
Sui Yun finally did not have the heart to give Ning Lan a cold face before leaving, holding his chin to let him see himself: “During my absence, eat well.”
After a while, Ning Lan nodded.
“If I come back and see you thin again, I …”
Sui Yan said half of it, abruptly stopped. He remembered that Fang Yu was also “threatening” this time, and Ning Lan agreed with a smile.
But he didn’t know what to threaten Ning Lan, and Ning Lan didn’t like him. The reason why he fulfilled his order was to treat him as a gold master and had to do it.
When he said something, he poured out the water, and Sui Yue let out Ning Lan’s chin with some sadness, and wanted to go back to bed. Ning Lan stepped in first, kissed him on the lips, and promised, “Okay.”
The next morning, at dawn, Ning Lan heard Sui Su wake up and turned around, then pulled his arm from under him, and stomped out of bed.
After the door was closed, Ning Lan opened her eyes and saw a delicate box next to the pillow. A note with “Happy Birthday” was pressed under the box. Inside the box were a pair of circular earrings.
In the evening, Ning Lan received a message from Sui Yang from the other side of the ocean: [I’m here, it’s cold here]
Ning Lan ran out of the practice room and stayed for a long time in front of the world map in the corridor of the company. He found the country where Sui Yang is now, and measured the distance with his palm. It was really far away.
The cost of international text messages is expensive, and he can’t help but make nonsense nonsense. He repeatedly repeats, and says: [more clothes]
Before going to bed, Ning Lan just swallowed two pills and received a text message from Sui Yang: [It’s raining]
Ning Lan didn’t quite understand the purpose of his report, and he didn’t know what kind of answer he wanted to see, or he thought back and answered, “Isn’t it raining in the capital, did you bring an umbrella? 】
Sui Yan at the other end seemed to be waiting for such a question that could lead to other topics, and replied: [You packed it in the box for me, but I forgot to bring it out]
Ning Lan: [Remember to bring it tomorrow]
For the next month or so, Sui Yue continued to text him, no more than two or three each day, mostly about the weather, local customs, and some trivial things that happened around him.
Ning Lan guessed that he was homesick, and his work was no better than real tourism. He was a foreign country, and there was no familiar person around him. He must be tired and lonely.
In fact, Ning Lan was willing to communicate with Sui Yang in this way. He didn’t have to face each other, he didn’t have to do everything possible to hide, and he didn’t need to be afraid of his true mind. This made him feel relaxed and at ease.
What’s more, this is the most peaceful time since he and Sui Yue met. He cherishes it even more and secretly hopes that God can give some more such gentle time.
New Year’s Day is more than a week old, and it is Sui Yang’s 20th birthday. Ning Lan was stuck at zero to send Sui Yang a birthday message. Within three minutes, the phone rang.
Ning Lan didn’t know whether to charge for the international call. He frightened to pick it up. Sui Yang had a lot of wind, as if he was outdoors, he used to shout: “I’m recording a show, skiing!”
Ning Lan said without a thought, “Happy birthday.”
Sui Yan on the other side laughed: “Make a wish!”
“I wish you a birthday?”
“I’ll share one with you,” Sui Yue said, “my wish is very spiritual.”
Ning Lan shrank in the cold quilt, and was rarely infected by his joy, and burst out saying, “I want to hear you play the violin.”
For me alone.
Sui Yang heard wind in his ears and didn’t hear clearly: “What? Be loud.”
However, this courage is fleeting and will only be enough for Ning Lan’s impulse.
He shook his head: “Nothing, you have fun.”
A few days later, Starlight Entertainment gave all members of AOW except Sui Yang a reality show for outdoor simulated survival. The shooting time was three days and two nights.
Everyone complained that this winter was extremely cold and the capital had already experienced several heavy snowfalls. At this time, outdoor programs were filmed, and the rhythm of freezing people should be properly frozen.
Ning Lan has not received any announcements since the promotion period of the three singles, except for a few shots. For him, it is good to have a job, he is not qualified to pick and choose.
Before leaving, he went to the hospital and Fang Yu accompanied him.
Chatting on the road, Fang Yu heard that he had blacked out Lu Xiaozhou, and shouted, “Don’t do that. He really likes you, so he should leave a spare tire for himself. let’s go?”
Ning Lan couldn’t help crying: “spare a tire? How could you be such a big brother?”
Fang Yu blushed with the name “big sister” and turned her head to ignore Ning Lan. Waiting for Ning Lan to go to the clinic, he still stood up and went in with him.
Since the fall of last year, Ning Lan’s leg pain has become more frequent and more severe. The doctor diagnosed it as traumatic arthritis. It is recommended to rest, apply more heat and less activity.
Ning Lan was relieved. Before he thought that the bones were not growing well, he was afraid to have surgery, so he kept dragging him to the hospital. Fang Yu was too worried. She said that this chronic disease is the most terrible. She didn’t keep up waiting for him to get old. She said she would call Zhang Fan to help Ning Lan take leave.
Ning Lan stopped him: “If you do well, just shoot for three days. If you don’t let me go, I’m afraid I won’t even have the money to see a doctor for medicine.”
Although Ning Lan usually does not say, Fang Yu can still see his economic tension from his hard and frugal lifestyle. But he couldn’t stop him, and he had to scream in angrily: “How can you, jump up and down like a monkey, don’t want to save your life, why not break your leg again to cheat insurance compensation?”
I didn’t expect it to be a word.
Outdoor survival programs were filmed in the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing. The white snow has not yet been exhausted, and it is very difficult to walk deep and shallow, let alone complete various wonderful challenges in this environment.
However, the audience loves to watch, they have to slap their heads.
After three days of shooting, it was difficult to go to the last day, everyone was exhausted. After a guest broke up the hidden point on the map, the crowd gathered at the prescribed location. Gu Yankai followed the photographer, and hurriedly said that he had lost the guest along the way. Already.
The mobile phone couldn’t get through, the call could not be heard, and everyone went to find it. Ning Lan faintly remembered that Gu Yankai pointed at the map before going to noon to go to the farthest treasure location, maybe the treasure score over there was the highest.
So Ning Lan walked deep into the mountains alone, with a good sense of direction, shouting Gu Yankai’s name while looking for it.
Sure enough, when the sun was going down, he heard a faint cry for help, followed the sound and touched it. Gu Xiekai was afraid to press his leg under a steep **** of 35 meters high, and weeping with a grey face.
Ning Lan slipped down the steep **** without thinking. Gu Yankai wiped her tears, seeing that there was no one behind him, and suddenly panicked: “How can you be one!”
Ning Lan ignored him and touched his leg. Gu Yankai called out and seemed to twist his foot.
Young Master Jin Gui was so sick that he couldn’t stand up. Ning Lan tried to help him. He barely walked a few steps, and he refused to cooperate. He cried with tears, said no, and waited for help.
Ning Lan looked up to the west, and a Huang Chengcheng’s sun hung in the air, blocked by the clouds for most of it. It gets dark early in winter, and after a while there is no daylight, and the mountain roads are more difficult. This kind of weather trapped in the mountains overnight, and the consequences are unimaginable.
He couldn’t help but say kneeling squatting: “Come up, I’ll carry you.”
Gu Yankai was reluctant to say, “I don’t want to go. Go alone. I don’t want you to control it.”
Ning Lan turned sharply, “Hurry up, do you want to stay here and wait for the dark wolf to eat it?”
Gu Yankai paused: “Here … are there wolves?”
How can there be a wolf on this kind of hill? Ning Lan shouted in a frightened voice: “Yes, the wolf especially likes to eat your fine-skinned young master.”
Gu Yankai was so shocked that he jumped on one foot and lay on Ning Lan’s back, anxiously, “Let’s go now.”
The road at the time of coming was no longer available. Ning Lan followed the impression of the map and detoured from below.
As soon as halfway through, it was dark.
Gu Yankai, who was so old, had encountered such an unlucky thing, and was scared to pant when he heard a gust of wind, holding Ning Lan’s neck tightly, making him the last straw for life.
“You … you don’t want to be anymore, I’m out of breath.” Ning Lan struggled.
Gu Yankai came down with tears in his eyes and choked, “But … but I’m scared.”
Ning Lan carried a guy about the same height as him, and his footprints in the snow were deeper. The snow infiltrated the shoes, miraculously leaving his injured foot unconscious, but not much pain.
“Such a small hill can only be regarded as a **** in our place, afraid of a fart.” Ning Lan took him up and gasped, “I thought that my brother and I were in the mountains, the real mountains, You, you, are still lying in the cradle while you are crawling. “
Gu Yankai wiped her tears: “Are you really 24?”
Ning Lan laughed twice: “This year, it’s all 25.”
“1,2,3,4,5 … Then you are 6 years older than me.” Gu Yankai suddenly felt at ease.
In the second half of the road, Gu Yankai was mostly talking. Ning Lan occasionally said “um” to indicate that he was listening.
As a teammate for nearly two years, no one expected that the first peaceful conversation between the two would be in such a situation. One was terrified and the other was tired. No one mentioned the unhappy things in the past. .
I don’t know how long, a human voice came from a distance, and the light from a flashlight came over. Ning Lan breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his hands, threw Gu Yankai on the ground, and lay down in the snow.
Gu Yankai whispered, “Thank you.” Then whispered in a lower voice, “That … you and my brother, I have no objection. If you have any help in the future, call me.”
Ning Lan couldn’t help crying and laughing, thinking that the love and hate of children really came and went like wind, and they couldn’t do much.
He was lying on the ground, the cold sweat on his body was already soaking his shirt, his breath was almost out of temperature.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the dark sky above his head, suddenly remembering that time in the mountain, he didn’t want to be rescued by Ji Zhinan, and mocked him as the Virgin.
I didn’t expect retribution to come so fast.
Ning Lan thought, I’m a Virgin Mary.
