Chasing Tides

Ning Lan had a dream.

The sound of enthusiasm around him stood in the center, and his gaze followed him from all directions.

He covered his eyes, and the whispers whispered into his ears were magnified infinitely, like a blunt knife struck his eardrum. He covered his ears again, a mocking, contemptuous smile on the retina, and closing his eyes didn’t help.

All came at him.

He wanted to escape from this hellish place, running and stumbled, I don’t know who was tripped, fell to the ground, the crowd swarmed, everyone came to step on him, and of course pointed at him and scolded— —Who makes you so bad, you deserve it, who makes you overwhelmed and delusional.

When he woke up, Ning Lan was sweating all over his head, focusing for a while before he could see the person in front of him.

Fang Yu’s palm waved in front of his eyes: “Have a nightmare?”

Ning Lan rolled her eyes, the ceiling and walls were white, and a hanging bottle was hanging above him. He was in the hospital.

He lay for more than a minute, slightly relieved the depression and tension that had just emerged from the nightmare, and then braced his arm to sit up. Fang Yu held down and said, “You are injured, you still have a fever, and you lie down. do not move.”

Ning Lan saw her left leg wrapped in gauze tightly, and asked with a dumb voice, “What, what?”

“Rescue the kid who Gu Gukai made, you are really a great hero. You gave your life in the snow to save people. Should I look back and present you a banner?” Fang Yu said, “If the doctor is late, he can Just dragged out and amputated. “

“Cut … limbs?” Ning Lan’s throat was dry and she couldn’t spit.

Fang Yu helped him feed the water: “Yes, all amputations below the neck.”

Ning Lan grinned silently, and Fang Yu shot his head with a cup: “You can still laugh!”

The day before was already bright, and due to the fever, Ning Lan slept soundly. After eating some porridge that is easy to digest, Fang Yu said that there will be a shoot in the afternoon and come back at night.

“Will I leave the tablet to you? It’s boring to stay here.” Fang Yu asked him before leaving.

Ning Lan waved his hand: “No, I haven’t cleared the snake.”

He hasn’t used his smartphone for a long time. It doesn’t matter if he is weak or stupid. It is enough to keep gossips sharper than a sharp knife in the dream. With his eyes open, he doesn’t want those terrible things that can tear him apart, and continues to follow him.

As soon as Fang Yu went out, Ning Lan climbed out of bed, preparing to sneak out of the hospital. Unexpectedly, Fang Yu killed a returning carbine, blocked him at the door, and sneered, “Have you heard of‘ One foot high, one foot high ’Xiao Lanlan.”

Ning Lan Xiaoxi reasoned: “My legs are okay, and my fever is retreating. It’s the same when I go back to the dormitory.”

Fang Yu couldn’t help but talk about getting him back to bed: “It would be dying to move a little bit of your security out of the hospital? I will beat you in the **** again if I pull it out like this.”

Due to the special nature of wild survival programs, the pre-shooting crew bought accident insurance for each guest. Ning Lan and Gu Yankai will receive a small amount of compensation for injuries during the shooting.

Ning Lan was forced to commit obscenity, lay down obediently, and vowed to stay at least in the hospital the day after tomorrow.

Fang Yu said before leaving: “Your phone is under the pillow. Last night I had a long number to call you several times. I think it was noisy to shut you down.”

Ning Lan reached out her cell phone and turned it on. Five or six missed calls were from Sui Yang, and there were two unread text messages. One was: [Recording is almost over? ], The other one was sent five hours later: [Wake up and call me]

Ning Lan guessed that he should already know what happened, and only returned a text message: [Wake up, I’m fine]

At this time it was late at night. He didn’t expect Sui Yang’s phone number to be called as soon as the text message was sent. As soon as he was connected, he dropped a renju like question: “Did you eat? What did the doctor say? Still fever? Does it hurt? “

Ning Lan listened to his voice almost greedily, and his nose was sour. Most people become vulnerable during illness, and Ning Lan is no exception. He tried to keep his voice steady and answered, “Eat, it’s okay, no fever … no pain.”

It actually hurts. I was frozen in the snow until I realized how serious the ligament was when I was in the hospital. The ligaments were broken, and the gap was not yet fully formed. The doctor said that after two more tosses, he had to spend his second life with a cane. .

Sui Yan, who was on the other side of the phone, was relieved: “Then you take a good rest. I have 20 days of lessons here, and I’ll go back when it’s over.”

Ning Lan said “Mum” in a sullen mood.

Sui Yue didn’t hear the mood swings in his tone, and asked with unhappiness: “Do you want me to go back?”

“No,” Ning Lan said busyly. “Wait for you to make up your birthday.”

Before hanging up, Sui Su called him: “Thank you, thank you for saving Xiaoyu.”

Ning Lan looked at his injured leg, his eyes darkened, and smiled out, “It’s all right, it should be.”

A visitor came in the afternoon.

First, Gu Yankai, leaning against the wall and jumping in awkwardly, observed Xia Ninglan’s legs and asked, “Are you okay?”

Ning Lan nodded: “Very good, how about you?”

“I’m okay, just a sprain.” Gu Yankai churned his hands together and said uncomfortably, “You fainted yesterday, my brother called me, and I told him about it.”

Ning Lan looked at his grievances and knew that Sui Yang must have taught him.

Gu Yankai played for a while, raised his head and said, “Previously, I … I apologize to you, sorry.”

Ning Lan did not expect that the arrogant little master would bow to him one day, and did not respond after a moment’s stun. Gu Yankai thought he didn’t accept it, and said busyly: “The ones I said last night are also sincere, and there are other things, I think I should tell you.”

“What’s the matter?” Ning Lan asked.

Gu Yankai began to slap his pants again with his hands, tangled for a long time, and settled down with determination: “The previous black material was sold to paparazzi by Gao Ming and Wang Bingyang, and Feng Qiu was also partnered with them.”

Ning Lan searched for the name “Feng Qiu” in his mind, but for a moment, Gu Jikai explained: “It was the member who wanted to debut with us. You took his place.”

After being reminded, Ning Lan remembered that he was able to enter AOW because of a fight called Feng Qiu, and his personal image was damaged and the company was removed from the company.

Under the guidance of Sui Yue, he also suspected Gao Ming of them, but later felt that such a careful deployment of evidence collection, unlike the few hairy boys who can calm down and work out, now I know that there is another person in the It should make sense to cooperate outside the circle and make suggestions.

“How did you know?” Ning Lan asked.

Gu Yankai was afraid that he doubted himself and was busy clarifying the relationship: “I didn’t take part in the whole process. I didn’t fall asleep one night and heard them calling …” Why didn’t you say it early? With his head down, “I, I didn’t think it had anything to do with me, so I didn’t say anything.”

In fact, Ning Lan doesn’t blame him. If people don’t know, unless he has no reason to do so, it is mostly his own reason that he is now in the end.

“Don’t tell the captain about this, I want to handle it myself.” Ning Lan said.

Gu Yankai nodded, and patted his chest very kindly and said, “Okay, if you need any help, please call me at any time.”

Ning Lan smiled and didn’t speak.

Even if you know who did it? It was impossible for him to fight against them on his own. What’s more, even if things are held accountable, nothing can be changed.

Unless time goes by.

Recently, Ning Lan often thinks indiscriminately. If he can have a chance to return, will he enter AOW, and will he develop such an unseen relationship with Sui Yue?

Now he knew that the answer was “yes”. Even if he knew that there was no hope, he knew that it would be painful and painful. Sui Yang was still the first ray of sunlight in the snow and ice. He had no choice but to reach out and grab.

Less than half an hour after Gu Yankai left, Zhang Fan arrived with a fruit basket.

She first sent condolences on behalf of the company to inquire about Ning Lan’s injury, and then took out several documents from the bag, including confirmation of insurance compensation and a temporary contract given by the company.

Ning Lan looked at the contract title several times, but didn’t figure out the meaning, Zhang Fan didn’t go around with him and straightforwardly said: “The company thinks that your current physical condition is not suitable for continuing to participate in AOW’s next trip. The basic salary is issued, and the company will not interfere with the shooting, advertising, TV series, movies, etc. you receive in your personal name. “

In-depth explanation, Ning Lan suddenly understood, that is, to hide, or to dismiss, this contract is just a written and pleasant statement.

He knows that being injured and unable to dance is only part of the reason. The main reason is that his external image collapsed, fans resisted jointly, and artists who can no longer create benefits for the company will naturally be discarded. The fact that he can be treated so well in this situation is probably due to the fact that he saved Gu Yankai and made “sacrifice” to Sui Yang’s public image.

Zhang Fan thought that Ning Lan would express dissatisfaction, at least he would raise an objection. Who knew that he had read the contract carefully, word by word, and asked her for a pen and then signed her name calmly.

Zhang Fan took the contract and confirmed it again, and asked Ning Lan, “Do you have anything to ask?”

The contract clearly stated that the execution time was after the Spring Festival, and the public announcement time was set in late February. Ning Lan thought about it: “Can future salary be paid to other cards?”

Zhang Fan recorded his new card number and confirmed the payee’s name with him: “Zhao Jinshan, both are next to the king, right?”

Ning Lan nodded: “Yes, it’s my mother.”

After doing this, Zhang Fanduo stayed for a while, cut an apple for Ning Lan, and left him his personal number, saying that he could find her if he had any questions.

Ning Lan took a big mouthful of apples and said with a smile: “What are you all doing? I am so grown up, can I take care of myself?”

Zhang Fan saw that he was heartless and heartless, but his heart was uncomfortable. Anyway, she was dug up by people. She also looked at Ning Lan’s sensible and hard work. Now that she has done this, she has an unshirkable responsibility.

“Don’t be discouraged, you are still young. There is a chance that you will be free to tweet more on Chinese New Year and start live broadcasts to maintain popularity. There will be many new dramas starting next spring. When that happens, I will help you. You are very aura in acting. “Zhang Fan comforted him.

Ning Lan nodded while eating apples, and didn’t know how much to listen to.

The more he didn’t care, the more Zhang Fan felt worried and couldn’t help but talk up: “If you have any difficulties, you can tell Sui Yang that although he is young, he is still calm, otherwise the company will not Let him be the captain. You previously refused the job opportunity that Anlin and I helped you get? Are you stupid? The entertainment industry relies on contacts. Red is the last word. No one cares who you rely on. Resources. “

Ning Lan smiled bitterly: “How are you like my mother?”

“Well, don’t listen to you.” Zhang Fan saw that he could not get in, and got up with a bag. “I’m leaving first, and I’ll call me if something happens.”

Ning Lan insisted to get out of bed to send her, and jumped to the door, and was sent back by Zhang Fan.

Quiet in the ward, Ning Lan sat on the bed, looked at the amount on the insurance compensation confirmation form, and finally a smile from his heart appeared on his face.

He knows that anyone who sees his relationship with Sui Yun will feel that he has taken advantage. He did this only to live a frank and open life, not like a tiny ant, who just dared to stay between small square inches without breathing his breath.

The day before Sui Yue returned home, Ning Lan went to the bank first and transferred the prepared money to the card Sui Yue gave him.

Due to the large amount, I entered the password back and forth in front of the counter several times, 940109 for a while, 990318 for a while, and Ning Lan lost himself in the end.

After getting it done, Ning Lan carefully put the card into his bag, and walked out while hammering his head, saying something in his mouth: “Next … Next … right, go shopping.”

As Valentine’s Day approaches, the supermarket’s most prominent shelf has a huge heart shaped chocolate. Ning Lan picked the chicken legs and wings in the freezing area, looked at them when passing by, stopped at the shelf, raised and lowered his hands, and finally took a small box.

He thought that it wasn’t necessary to have a lover to give chocolates. It could be a birthday gift.

I ended up buying a lot of things, and I lost my energy when I was halfway there. Ning Lan leaned on the side of the road to rest, squatted down, rubbed his uncontested feet, and looked up at the sky. It was about thinking, and he actually painted the shape of an airplane in the sky.

In the evening, Ning Lan received a text message from Sui Yun: [I am at the airport, ready to board]

Ning Lan has a joking interest: [Long live my emperor, live long live my life]

Sui Yan came back with a series of ellipsis, and sent another one after two minutes: [wait for my return]

Thirteen hours later, in the early morning, the capital airport was crowded with people moving. Sui Yang was carrying the harp and dragging his luggage out of the security checkpoint. He looked up and saw a person.

Ning Lan was wearing a black down jacket and a face mask, only two eyes were exposed. Sui Yue still found him out of the crowd at a glance because of the ring earrings worn on his ears.

The two said nothing and walked side by side. Ning Lan came with the company’s nanny car. Sui Yang was in a tight time. On the day of his return to China, there was still the last job to be done.

Put the luggage and piano case in the trunk. Sui Yue got into the car and closed the door. She just turned around and sat upright. Suddenly, a dark shadow came over him. On his lips, before he tasted it, he quickly separated.

Ning Lan kissed him.

Ning Lan often took the initiative to kiss him, but this time is not the same as usual.

While the driver was still smoking, Sui Yan pressed Ning Lan on the seat and kissed him fiercely. Ning Lan pushed it a few times and couldn’t move it. He just wrapped his neck and sent himself forward. Spreading in the compartment, Sui Jun kissed enough to touch his earlobe before letting go.

“There will be a shoot later, accompany me.” Sui Yan looked at Ning Lan Road.

Ning Lan was also reluctant to part with him, and whispered, “OK.”

They returned to the dorm in the evening.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the other members are on vacation. Sui Sui hadn’t slept for nearly 24 hours. When she returned to the room, she sat paralyzed on the sofa and pressed her temples.

“Wait a while, and dinner will be all right.”

Ning Lan took out the pickled ingredients from the refrigerator in the morning, inserted the chopsticks into the hot oil and smoked, and started to go down the pot.

He moved a little erratically. Hot oil splashed into the back of his hands while he was busy, and he took a sigh of relief. Sui Ling got his ears, immediately got up to the kitchen, held his red-hot hand, and frowned, “Why so careless? “

Ning Lan did have some absentmindedness. In the studio during the day, Sui Yue went into the studio to shoot. He met Xue Ying in the lounge where people came and went. Xue Ying also came to take a photo of the magazine, and calmly greeted him. Ning Lan had not seen her for a long time, and suddenly saw her face, she was reminded of a throbbing memory, so nervous she almost forgot to say hello.

The dormitory was equipped with a scalding cream. After applying the medicine, Ning Lan was still mentally depressed and always felt that he had overlooked something.

Sui Yan was worried about his condition and accompanied him to make dinner during the whole process. After they fell asleep early after eating, Sui Yan carefully looked at Ning Lan’s chin again and concluded that “thin.”

Ning Lan said: “I haven’t slept well recently.”

“Why don’t you sleep well?”

“Because …” Ning Lan avoided Sui Yun’s eager eyes, “because it was too early.”

Sui Yan didn’t get the answer he wanted, turned his back on him with anger, and Ning Lan stuck with a smile. A soft, boneless hand broke open his pajamas and touched his belly.

Xu is an exercise that helps sleep. Ning Lan didn’t take sleeping pills this night, only woke up twice.

Waking up in the morning, Sui Yang was no longer in the room, and Ning Lan sat up groggyly, rubbing his slightly swollen left ear.

He put on the earrings last night. He hadn’t worn earrings for a long time, and the pierced ears had already grown halfway. He directly poked in without any tools. He bleed at the time, so it hurts now.

He put on his clothes slowly, felt his pockets, and found out a pile of red agate beads in cloth bags.

This was in his pocket before going out the day before yesterday, and he planned to go to the bank and take a bus to the jewelry store to re-string it.

He was afraid he was going the wrong way, and he changed his smartphone to prepare for navigation. The new phone lacked power and he took his old phone. Who would have forgotten this matter as soon as they stepped out of the bank’s door, and the cell phone did not come in handy.

Cell phone … Ning Lan was shocked, his eyes widened.

His phone is gone.

Inside is a photo of Ji Zhinan’s marriage certificate.
