If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 10
Because he said it hurts, Cen Ning’s movements were lightened. She carefully pressed the egg against his face, her expression intently as if she was treating a good jade.
“There is another one inside. Wait, I’ll get it.” The egg was a little cold, and Cen Ning turned back into the room and walked hurriedly.
Looking at her back in words and deeds, slowly straightened up her body. For a moment, he felt that the empty winter night was not so unbearable.
“Okay.” The little girl came out again, she looked up at her, her concerned eyes were clear and clear, and she couldn’t find any falsehood.
Children usually don’t deceive, think about their words and deeds.
“You, bend down.” Cen Ning pulled the hem of his clothes.
He gave a rare laugh, he reached out his hand and touched her head: “Go in, it’s cold outside.”
After all, he missed from her side and entered the house.
Cen Ning stood there blankly, her hand holding the egg tightened slightly. This was the first time she saw him smile in so many days.
She didn’t know, it turned out that a person’s laughter or not can arouse such a big wave in her heart.
After entering the house, his words and deeds took Cen Ning’s eggs and massaged himself.
“This, Aunt Chen asked me to bring you something to eat.”
Words and deeds: “Thank you.”
“Then you eat quickly,” Cen Ning stood a little awkwardly on the side, “I, I’m leaving now.”
“Wait.” Words and deeds suddenly stopped her.
Cen Ning looked back: “Huh?”
“I have forgotten during this time, I haven’t asked you how you are doing in the final exam.”
He still remembers.
Cen Ning was also very nervous when he was overjoyed: “I, I took the exam for class 19.”
She looked at her unexpectedly, and if I remember correctly, she had counted down before, and it was pretty amazing to keep up so quickly.
“A lot of progress, it seems that you are really working hard.”
He didn’t know how such a simple sentence warmed the girl’s disappointment. For the words and deeds, it is really not a good result to take a class with a dozen or so. And he rarely boasted, if it weren’t for these two eggs tonight, maybe he wasn’t interested in talking about them.
But Cen Ning looked at him with piercing eyes, as if he was holding the horse’s rein on the edge of the hollow cliff. The heart that had been lost for so many days was suddenly comforted, and his eyes were red.
“I will be better.”
He didn’t notice the obsessive gaze of the little girl standing in front of him. He lowered his eyes and whispered, “Go on.”
“Um!”
Cen Ning happily walked out of his room. When she went downstairs, she saw that the pendulum on the wall was pointing exactly at twelve o’clock. She was startled, and immediately turned her head and ran upstairs without hesitation.
This time, she broke into the room of words and deeds without knocking the door. She was about to get up and change clothes. Hearing the sound, she looked back at her, “What’s wrong?”
“Happy New Year!”
The words and deeds froze for a moment, and at this moment, the mobile phone he placed beside began to make noises, and the New Year greeting text messages from all directions were only a second slower than Cen Ning’s New Year greetings.
Cen Ning gasped slightly, “…I’m leaving.”
Walking out of the room again, at the moment the door was closed, she heard the slightly smiling voice of the person in the room: “Cen Ning, Happy New Year.”
**
Words and Deeds and Xu Nanru have not spoken since that fight, but the two were also extremely calm. They were obviously under the same roof, and they didn’t give each other a single look.
After the beginning of school, Xu Nanru returned to school, and Yan Jia returned to his former peace.
At the beginning of the new semester, Cen Ning worked hard as always. He listened very carefully to every class. After returning home, he would practice her spoken English in addition to studying. She tried very hard to climb up, very hard to make herself better.
Throughout the semester, Cen Ning’s relationship with words and deeds has also gotten closer. His words and deeds have to be admitted to the military academy, so in addition to his studies, he trains with the troops outside every day. Cen Ning would ask him about his studies when he was free, and when he was not free, she would also go to the side of the training field, reading a book while watching every move of the phalanx.
The world she imagined is very big, and she wants to see many, many places; but within an inch of a circle, her world is also very small, and in her eyes, only words and deeds can be pretended.
She has been cold for too long, so when she finally gets a little warmth, she will do her best to keep this warmth.
But there are some things that she can’t keep, and some people are destined to go far.
…
Later, when the college entrance examination passed, many people were waiting for scores and results.
The atmosphere that the speaker should be nervous is joyful, not for anything else, just because the words and deeds have been approved in advance for admission to the military academy, and the medical examination and interview have been passed.
For a student who doesn’t have to worry about grades anymore, these days should be happier. But the words and deeds are as cold and indifferent as ever, as if this is nothing more than a trivial matter.
Cen Ning thought, this is probably a really capable person, because everything is in his own plan and control, so he won’t make waves about everything that happens.
That year, the summer vacation was not over.
At that time, it was still popular for school to make up classes, so the second-year students all returned to school half a month earlier. Everyone sighed, but for Cen Ning, there was no difference.
This day was an ordinary afternoon for Cen Ning.
“Hello.” Song Ci came back from playing basketball, holding mineral water in one hand and strawberry milk in the other. He threw the milk on Cen Ning’s table.
Cen Ning was writing the title, and glanced up: “What are you doing.”
Song Ci wiped his sweat and said casually, “I have an extra bottle of milk. I will give you a drink.”
Cen Ning: “Why do you buy more.”
“That’s right, don’t buy more,” Song Ci sat down next to her and thought for a while, “Buy one get one free at the commissary. I just gave Xiaopang a drink and he said not to come.”
After that, I observed Cen Ning: “Cough, you can drink it for you, I tell you, drinking more milk can grow taller.”
Cen Ning pursed her lips and smiled restrainedly: “Thank you.”
“You are at the same table, they are all with revolutionary friendship.” Song Ci broke the milk straw, poked it into the tube, and handed it to her, “Drink.”
Cen Ning put down the pen, and Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting in front when she was about to take Song Ci’s milk, suddenly jumped up from the chair. Cen Ning was startled by her, “What’s wrong with you?”
Zhang Ziyi turned his head, with a panic expression: “Damn! Cen Ning!”
Cen Ning: “…Huh?”
“He’s going to leave, he’s going to leave so soon, isn’t it half a month away!”
Cen Ning was taken aback for a moment: “What?”
“Tang Zheng, he actually told me that he was leaving in a while.” Zhang Ziyi handed her mobile phone hidden in the drawer to her, and Cen Ning took a look at it and gave a chuckle in her heart.
Tang Zheng and Yan Xingzhi have been tested in the same place. If he is going to leave, doesn’t it mean that he will also be leaving. He clearly said that he will stay at home for a while.
“Hey Cen Ning!” Zhang Ziyi looked at Cen Ning who suddenly got up and ran out of the classroom. He didn’t react. “I haven’t finished speaking yet, where are you going.”
“I’ll find him.”
“what?”
Song Ci still maintained the posture of holding the milk: “Hey-I won’t drink it now.”
A taxi is running on the spacious road.
Zhang Ziyi panted heavily and patted Cen Ning who was sitting next to him: “I, I said, why are you running so fast, I almost missed you.”
Cen Ning didn’t say a word, she stared at the front closely, her hands clasped together.
Zhang Ziyi was silent: “Hey, shall we run back and run into them now?”
“Yes.” Cen Ning sunk her eyes, repeating as if comforting herself, “Yes.”
Zhang Ziyi lowered his head dejectedly: “Tang Zheng said that he would have no time to go home after he entered, and scoffed—if so, how good would they be to take a normal school like Xin Zechuan, at least it can be common, you think it is Ningning .”
“Um…”
That’s the way he decided long ago, and he won’t change it.
It’s just that she is not ready yet, really not ready.
The car stopped at the gate of the compound, Cen Ning and Zhang Ziyi rushed forward after getting off the car, crossing the boulevard, and then through the training clearing…
A car passed by.
Cen Ning stopped abruptly and turned to look at the familiar car.
“Ningning?” Zhang Zi stopped suspiciously, then followed her gaze to the car that stopped slowly not far away, “That’s…”
“It’s him.” Cen Ning’s heart jumped and she raised her foot and walked there. She walked faster and faster, but stopped again when the car door opened. She looked at the opened car door and at the people coming down from it.
Her vision was a bit blurred, she blinked and forced away the water vapor in her eyes, so that she could see the person again. He was still like that, his brows were light and sharp.
At this moment, he stood long by the door, and said in surprise, “I almost thought I was wrong. Aren’t you in class? Why are you here?”
“We skipped class.” Zhang Ziyi asked without seeing his words and deeds, frowning suddenly, “Where is Tang Zheng?”
Words and deeds: “I don’t know, maybe it’s set off.”
“What?!” Zhang Ziyi turned around and ran, “I’ll go to his house to see.”
Zhang Ziyi left, only the two of them were left outside the car. He looked at Cen Ning again in his words and deeds, and said dissatisfied, “Are you guys fat? You skip class.”
Cen Ning did not answer his question for the first time, but stepped forward and asked: “Are you going to leave?”
“Temporary notice.”
“Then, when will you come back.”
Words and deeds: “I don’t know, I probably won’t be back for a long time.”
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Cen Ning’s forehead in the scorching sun, and his “long time” exploded like deadly ammunition in her ears. While she told herself to calm down, after all, she had known it, but on the other side she knew it again. I couldn’t calm down, so I could only stand at a loss, letting his face turn pale.
“Don’t skip class next time.” His words and deeds frowned. “It’s hot, right? Go home.”
He didn’t understand her panic, let alone her reluctance. In his eyes, she was just a pretty well-behaved little sister who lived in his house. Cen Ning lowered her head and slowly said, “I heard that you are going to leave suddenly, so I just want to send you off.”
The words and deeds were stunned, and then he smiled: “This can’t be a reason, but Cen Ning, let’s not take it as an example.”
“Um…”
Words and deeds stepped forward: “If you don’t have me in the future, you should ask the teacher if you have any questions you don’t understand.”
He still missed her.
“good.”
“If you are bullied, remember to say something and tell your family about something.”
Will those people bully her when he is away?
“good.”
“People are smart, you are really easy to be deceived like this.”
Why does he always treat her so well.
“and also-“
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly hugged by words and deeds. The hug was very tight, and the two thin small bracelets were on his waist, almost holding a smell of life and death.
The words and deeds were rare for a while, and what to do next turned out to be blank.
Slowly lowering his eyes, he looked at the little girl who was much shorter than him.
He has always been indifferent, but this uncomfortable nerve has softened a bit. After hesitating his words and deeds, he stretched out his hand and patted Cen Ning’s back, “Why, afraid?”
Cen Ning returned to her mind, she was so scared that she was so indifferent to hug him, but she was reluctant to let go, so she whispered in the embarrassment of letting go or not, “I’m not afraid, I’m not a kid. Baby.”
He smiled with words and deeds, coaxing: “Yes, you are not a kid anymore.”
…
The girl in the cardamom age and the boy who happened to be an adult were both very young that year.
“Brother Xingzhi, then, goodbye.”
“goodbye.”
Family, love, friendship… a goodbye does not mean separation.
So, don’t worry about everything. Feelings will always follow, and it will emerge from the cocoon at the moment you are defenseless.
