The last song of the concert was AOW's first single "Leaving the Planet". After singing, the members lined up to hold the curtain. Four of the seven teenagers cried. The emotional contagion was very strong. Lu Xiaochuan saw Fang Yu cried out of breath, remembering the sweat she drank during training and the scenes after her debut, she followed the pantothenic acid.
Back in the background, An Lin and Zhang Fan scrambled to give everyone a face-up and handed mineral water to appease the emotional children at the first concert. Sui Yan looked around and did not see Ning Lan, went out for a circle, and finally found someone in the dressing room at noon.
Ning Lan sat on the ground, her arms rested on her bent knees, her head was buried low, and the whole person was dead, without a trace of vitality.
Sui Yue came to him and settled down. Ning Lan looked up and looked blankly to determine who was in front of him. He said with a stiff mouth, "I'll take a rest, and it will be all right."
Sui Yun was relieved, he didn't cry.
Ning Lan's silent tears at the awards party at the end of last year have so far left him in recollection.
After packing and finishing, when several people were preparing to go out, Fang Yu exclaimed: "What happened to your feet, Lan Lan?"
Sui Yun looked down and saw Ning Lan's left ankle swelled like a and the color was abnormally red.
Ning Lan also glanced down and said lightly, "It's okay, just go back and bandage."
A large group of fans surrounded the exit. Sui Yue helped Ning Lan to come out last. The fans put down the lights in their hands and immediately fell into a dilemma. I don't know if I should cheer or be silent. A bold fan shouted, "Isn't it okay on the stage? Intentionally?"
Ning Lan bowed her head and didn't respond very much. Sui Yue glanced coldly in the direction of her voice, and the girls were stunned.
Fang Yu followed Ning Lan, Lu Xiaochuan followed Fang Yu to the dormitory, and the captain who was filming outside also returned. On weekdays, the house with only three or four people suddenly became very crowded.
Fang Yu went to the room where Ning Lan lived, rolled up his sleeves to help him apply medicine, Sui Yan watched silently; Fang Yu ordered takeaway and ate with Ning Lan, Sui Yan was still waiting by the side Fang Yu took Ning Lan to their room to play, and Sui Yan finally stood up and said, "He is not convenient to move around now, let him rest."
Fang Yu angrily followed Lu Xiaochuan back to the next room.
Ning Lan packed the lunch box garbage into a plastic bag and prepared to throw it out. Sui Yang held him and took the things on his hand: "I'll throw them, you rest."
Taking a bath at night, Sui Yue also went in with Ning Lan. Ning Lan glanced at the other people sitting on the sofa and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's all right, I can do it myself."
By the time he finished washing, bandages had been wrapped around his feet, he jumped up to bed and opened the blanket to prepare for sleep. The ointment that Sui Ye went out to buy did not come in handy, and some of her feelings were not good.
"Have you been close to Fang Yu recently?" Sui Yan asked coldly.
Ning Lan rolled up from the bed in shock, staring with wide eyes: "You know he already knows?"
This remark was like a tongue twister.
No, Sui Yue already knew it? When did he know?
Memories fell into chaos again, he looked at Sui Sui stunned, Sui Sui was softened by his hazy eyes, and stepped forward to embrace his shoulders: "Don't believe in others too easily, sometimes the people around you, It ’s often more dangerous. "
He had long thought that the black material of Ning Lan was revealed by internal staff. Although Ning Lan acknowledged it, it was obviously a premeditated break. Most of the photos were taken last year or even earlier. There is every reason to speculate that someone He deliberately collected the black material of Ning Lan and wanted to hurt him. Sui Yang has already begun investigating this incident behind his back, but for the time being, he is still at a stage where people around him are suspect.
Ning Lan shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Yu won't."
Seeing that he believed Fang Yu so firmly, Sui Yue had no taste in his heart. Because there was no evidence at hand, he thought that it would not be too late to tell Ning Lan when he found the clues.
He told Ning Lan to pay attention to guarding the people around him. Ning Lan nodded as if he didn't understand, and his eyes flashed with a little anxiety. When Sui Yue let go of him, he subconsciously grabbed his hem, like a scared animal.
Sui Yue checked his injured foot, then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, soothing him: "It's all right, sleep."
Ning Lan had only slept for more than two months, and the people around her had already left when she woke up.
Gu Yankai knocked on the door outside. After entering, he instructed Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang to lift the electric piano for him. He never looked at Ning Lan from the beginning to the end and regarded him as air.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Ning Lan stood at the window and looked at the Starlight Entertainment Building in the distance. He counted it again with his finger. One year and five months, even Gu Jikai became mature. Why is there no progress?
Sui Yue returned to the crew of "Night Play" and spent half a month ending the filming. She just rushed to the shooting scene of the second season of "The First Challenge of Love" without stopping.
Throughout the summer, Sui Yun was dominating the screen almost every day. Although the idol drama was not a big production, it was adapted from a well-known IP. The plot was fresh and unpretentious. There were no strange plots such as tearing or abortion. Sui Yun ’s young and fresh face also let the audience At the moment, with the blessing of "The First Challenge of Love", recently a new movie joined by Zhang Dao was reported. Sui Yang's number of fans broke the tens of millions overnight and jumped into the most talked about. Fresh meat one.
Sui Yan was too busy rushing to make announcements and had no time to care about the changes outside. Until the end of the show, he saw a crowd of fans holding their names and slogans. The building had to resort to three times more security than originally planned. He spent more than an hour on the road and got into the car. Only then have some intuitive feelings about his popularity rise.
Sitting in the car, a fan chased up and took a picture of the window, and showed him the light card of "The sweetest thing in the universe", and Sui Yue looked back at the building that was getting farther and farther away from him. The man appeared as a sponsor to provide the recording location of the show. If there was no one to interact with Ji Zhinan sweetly, Ji Zhinan obviously did not know that he would come, and his face was red.
Thinking of this, Sui Yun had no sour heart. He just wanted to go back quickly and give Ning Lan what he had put in his bag all night. Maybe Ning Lan would also blush, and looked at him with black eyes, flattered and astonished. .
Sui Yang rushed back in the dust, and unfortunately emptied.
Ning Lan didn't make a notice, he didn't stay in the dormitory, and there was no one in the company's practice room. He asked Gu Jikai how many of them, they didn't know, and he didn't see him at noon.
Sui Yan dialed Ning Lan's phone. The phone rang several times before answering. I do n’t know if it ’s a problem with the cell phone signal or the surrounding environment is too noisy. .
Sui Sui was a little worried, and asked him to post on WeChat. After waiting a few minutes without receiving a reply, he remembered that Ning Lan changed a broken mobile phone that could not be installed on WeChat. He personally realized that Fang Yu's anxiety was bad that day, but he opened the information interface and texted Ning Lan: "Where are you?" 】
Ning Lan returned a nonsense: [outside]
Sui Yan had to ask: [Address]
After a long time, Ning Lan sent three words: [Jade Garden]
Sui Zheng frowned. He hadn't got a foot injury. What did he do to a crowded tourist attraction?
Get off at the place, traverse through many tourists, and find Ning Lan in the long queue in front of the ticket office. Seeing his half-face that was red in the sun, Sui Yang lost his temper and put Take off the hat from his own head and buckle his head, and ask, "The hot days are not in the dormitory. What are you doing here?"
Ning Lan was teetered by the heat of the summer. He had a hat covering his face, and then opened his eyes slightly. He was surprised to see Sui Yang. He pulled down his mask and asked negligently, "Why are you here?" Then he looked around, " Don't let the queue cut here. "
Sui Sui was too lazy to explain to him and pulled him out of the team.
Ning Lan was not as strong as he was. He was pulled to stand in the shade of the sparsely populated tree, and he breathed before he said, "My mother and sister are here. I will take them around."
Sui Sui didn't expect such a reason. After a while, he asked, "What about them?"
Ning Lan pointed to the small pavilion in the distance: "Wait for me to buy tickets over there."
Sui Yan bought a ticket online with his mobile phone, and the four went directly to the park with their ID cards.
Ning Lan's mother walked in front of her son's arm. Ning Lan's feet were not completely good. She limped, and Sui Yue tried to come forward to help him a few times, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity. After all, his family was there.
Ning Lan's sister fell behind and left with Sui Yun, not long after entering the park, Sui Yun already knew her name, age, height, and even weight from the words she never stopped.
Ning Xuan shoved her hair behind her ears and asked him, "Are you my brother's teammate?"
Sui Yun was absent-minded: "Well."
Ning Xuan bit her lip: "Let me guess ... are you Sui Yun, Captain of AOW."
"Ok."
Ning Xuan's eyes lit up narrowly: "I, can I add you WeChat?"
After walking around for half a lap, during the intermission, Ning Lan was taken by Ning Xuan to buy a drink. Sui Yue sat on a bench and refurbished the circle of friends who were refurbished. It was either a selfie or a sunbathing. One of Lan's side pictures was a photo of a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival. Ning Lan's half body wearing an old cotton jacket accidentally entered the mirror.
Sui Yue quit, put her phone back in her pocket, and Ning Lan's mother came over suddenly, mysteriously, "Boy, can I ask you something?"
Zhao Jinshan was less than 50 years old and looked very young. Ning Lan inherited 80% of her features, which shows that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Faced with such a face, Sui Yue couldn't say anything about her refusal, and she said politely, "Auntie."
Zhao Jinshan looked around, then smiled and asked: "Our family, Lan Lan, is there a ... uh, good friend, is there a good friend called Zhouzhou?"
Sui Yun thought for a moment. The boat he knew was only Lu Xiaochuan's brother Lu Xiaozhou. Thinking of the boy, his expression was a bit stretched, and he said cautiously, "I don't know which boat you are talking about?"
Zhao Jinshan reached out and wrote with her fingers in the palm of her hand: "Hey, this is a boat, a flat boat."
Sui Yan looked uncertain, Zhao Jinshan frowned and asked: "Is he the one in our family Lanlan? Just that, you live together every day, you should know? He hit our family Lanlan one day today After several phone calls, I have seen them. "
That one?
The corner of Sui's mouth behind the mask rose slightly, and smiled coldly.
Returning Zhao Jinshan and Ning Xuan to the hotel, on the way back, Ning Lan sat on the co-driver and pressed the old antique, with some words in his mouth, like calculating something.
Back at the dormitory, Sui Min took out a rectangular box from his bag and threw it to him. Ning Lan took it for a long time and realized that it was a mobile phone. He had to return it to Sui Yun and said, "I have a mobile phone, don't use this."
"Can you count that as a cell phone? You can't answer the phone."
Ning Lan wanted to refute that he couldn't find a suitable speech for the time being and left it alone.
Sui Yun was unhappy, and said, "Let ’s say that Lu Xiaozhou's phone call can be received, but mine can't?"
Ning Lan opened his mouth to look at him, then lowered his head again, put the new phone case on the table, his fingers rubbing along the edge of the package, and determinedly asked Sui Yun: "How much is this?"
Sui Yang heard the word "money" in his mouth, and his head was too big. He felt like he was a fool to buy a mobile phone with joy a few hours ago and want to please him with a smile.
"Why do you want to pay me back?" Sui Yan asked Ning Lan in turn. "I was just calculating? Is today's cost?"
Ning Lan didn't know where to annoy Sui Yue again. He just felt very tired. He sat down with his chair, turned on the calculator of the black and white mobile phone, and tried to make himself as clear as possible: "One ticket for 150, 600 for four, and 528 for souvenir Pieces, add up to 1,128 pieces, I'll call you tomorrow. "
Sui Yan said coldly: "Why didn't I see you so careless before?"
"It's not the same, it's different ..." Ning Lan was in a mess, and his poor sleep had severely affected his mental state. His memory was getting worse every day. Sui Yang accidentally joined in today and paid four people. He thought that this should be settled on the spot. He was afraid he would not remember when he came back to sleep.
"What's different?" Sui Yan smiled angrily, stepped forward two steps, leaning on Ning Lan with his hands on the back of his chair, "You and Lu Xiaozhou did the same? Sleep once and check out once?"
Ning Lan blocked her throat and raised her head, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Did I say wrong? Didn't you get adopted before you debuted? Is this kind of thing familiar?"
Ning Lan has not refuted the topic about Lu Xiaozhou from now until now.
Sui Yan was furious whenever he thought that Ning Lan once moaned under others. In those days when Ning Lan was not seen, he tried to convince himself not to care about those things that had passed, but the appearance of Lu Xiaozhou, like a fingernail-sized Mars, easily ignited his suppressed anger in his heart.
"I didn't ... no."
Ning Lan's complexion was pale and her lips shook terribly.
He raised his arm to touch Sui Yang, and Sui Yang raised his hand and waved away. He stood up and turned to leave. Ning Lan caught up and held his hand: "I didn't, really didn't."
He buzzed in his ears, and none of his voice was true.
In the past he was not afraid of anything, not afraid of being hurt, not afraid of being misunderstood. Stubbornness and self-esteem were the last shrouds on him, so that he could hide his fragility and raise his head to face all the storms.
But he became timid now, and he was afraid he would never have another chance without explanation. He can throw away the concealer and step under it, as long as he can keep the person in front of him, even for a few minutes, a few seconds.
He was too afraid to face darkness alone.
Sui Yang turned his back to him, and there was no trace of temperature in his voice: "You didn't? The black materials were fabricated out of thin air? The mother was brought over to show me the act, wasn't it?"
There was a mess in Ning Lan's brain, and he didn't know where to start. He had a dry throat and difficulty in pronunciation. He only grasped Sui Yang's hand tightly: "Don't go, don't go ..."
Sui Yan couldn't wait for an answer, turned around and waved Ning Lan, and Ning Lan took two steps back, and then, a series of crackling sounds pierced into his ears.
The red agate he wore on his left wrist broke, and eighteen beads scattered, bouncing and falling on the floor until he could no longer bounce, rolling down in the room, not knowing which corner to lie on, and gradually disappeared. Be quiet.
Sui Yue is gone.
Ning Lan lay on the ground, picked up the red beads one by one, and counted them in the palm of his hand over and over again. There were only seventeen, and the eighteenth did not know where it had fallen.
He wiped the beads one by one and put them in the box. When closing the drawer, he saw the new phone on the table, unpacked it, picked it up and touched the cold screen, put it back in, opened the drawer again, and put it with the jewelry box.
