If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 33
The reason for her words and deeds was to take a look at her because she was not at ease. Now that Cen Ning is still awake, and Zhang Ziyi is also asleep, she feels relieved.
“Just stay if you want.” Words and deeds, “Go to sleep and stop drinking.”
Cen Ning came out of his arms, as if he was really afraid of him beating her, and nodded very obediently: “I’ll go in and sleep with Zi Yi.”
“Um.”
“then you-“
“I’ll leave later.”
“Oh.” Cen Ning glanced at him, then turned and walked into Zhang Ziyi’s room.
She was actually dizzy and tired, and her words and deeds made her feel safe outside, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Words and deeds stood in the pile of wine cans for a while, and the phone rang.
“Hey.”
“Brother Yan…”
“Um.”
“Ah, what… How about that fellow Zhang Ziyi.”
Words and deeds sat down on the sofa: “I was asleep when I came.”
“Oh…”
Words and deeds: “Why, don’t worry?”
Tang Zheng froze for a while: “She has always been in trouble, and I don’t know she will be so sad, but I… how to say, brother Yan, she is how old is younger than me, since I was a child, I have regarded her as a kid, and now suddenly I’m so panicked when I come here.”
He glanced at the door of the room with his words and deeds, as if thinking of something: “How old are you, you are now an adult.”
Tang Zheng: “That’s what I said, but I won’t be able to turn it around for a while.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
Tang Zheng on the other end of the phone scratched his hair irritably, “I don’t know either.”
“Think about it. If you don’t like it, just do it. Like…” The words and deeds supported the armrest of the sofa with one hand and supported her chin. “If you like it, don’t make her feel sad.”
“Brother Yan, you and Cen Ning…”
“how.”
“You are always different to Cen Ning, I think you should like her.” Tang Zheng tentatively said, “Right?”
He did not speak for a while.
Tang Zheng continued: “Then if you like someone, would you just say it?”
“She is different.” There was a haze in her words and deeds, “Zhang Ziyi likes you, but Cen Ning, she likes others.”
So how could he simply say that she was so courageous that she wouldn’t be scared away.
Tang Zheng: “Ah… it’s Xia Yi, right? Then, what do you do?”
“You still care about me now.”
“Don’t I think your temper and temper can only be scary.”
“…roll.”
“Ah, then, I’ll hang up first, let Cen Ning tell me what’s the matter on Zi Yi’s side.”
“If you want to know, just ask yourself.”
“Eh eh—”
**
Cen Ning stayed with Zhang Ziyi for several days. Zhang Ziyi was also very decadent at first, but she was always strong, and she ate and drank wildly after a short while, by the way, she cursed Tang Zheng from start to finish.
Later, when the school was about to start, Cen Ning left Zhang Ziyi’s house and went back to her house to pack her luggage.
That afternoon, when Cen Ning was halfway through packing in the small building, Aunt Chen said that she had made something delicious for her, so she went there first.
But she didn’t expect that Wei Pinfang had already gone home when she came back. Originally, Wei Pinfang went to learn embroidery. Cen Ning did not expect that she would come back suddenly.
“Mom, when did you get home.”
Sitting on the sofa, Wei Pinfang suddenly threw the book in the schoolbag beside her at her feet: “Tell me first about what these are.”
Cen Ning looked at the familiar bag under her feet, and her body became stiff: “This is…”
“This is yours, don’t want to deny it.” Wei Pinfang shivered with anger, “You actually touched photography?! I have told you how much harm this stuff is doing since I was a kid! Look at your dad! Have you even listened to it?! “
Cen Ning knew that Wei Pinfang would be angry, so she had been surreptitiously after studying for so long. Although she knew that one day she would be discovered, she didn’t expect it to be so soon.
“Mom, listen to me, I really like photography—” “Your dad said the same before! But what happened? I didn’t make any money, so I was running around and out of sight! Finally, we left our mother and daughter for it. He is gone for his broken dream, what good is this thing, you say!”
Cen Ning squeezed her fists: “Dad’s death was an accident. It has nothing to do with photography.”
“Why doesn’t it matter? If he doesn’t want to go to Tibet to shoot something, as for a car accident on the road!”
Cen Ning’s eyes were red: “But, Dad really likes it.”
“I like to be able to eat as a meal, you can see how we were harmed by him.”
“Aren’t we living well now? Besides, photography can make money. I have made a lot this summer vacation. Mom, I…”
“What are you talking about?” Wei Pinfang couldn’t believe it. “You were messing around during the summer vacation? Aren’t you a tutor? You lied to me?”
Cen Ning: “…I’m just, I’m afraid you don’t agree.”
“You still know that I would disagree!” Wei Pinfang sternly said, “You throw all these things away for me now! And this camera! I used to let you keep it because this is the only person left for you For the sake of thinking, if I had known it would be like this, I should have lost it then!”
“Mom!” Cen Ning saw Wei Pinfang raise the camera, rushed to grab it, “I don’t allow you to lose it, you give it back to me!”
Snapped-
Cen Ning is not as fast as Wei Pinfang. She hasn’t touched it yet. Wei Pinfang has already threw the camera out of the window one by one. There was a concrete floor outside, and the camera made a muffled noise when it hit the ground.
The blood in Cen Ning’s whole body seemed to congeal at this moment, her pupils shrank heavily, as if she still didn’t want to believe what happened in the last second.
“I warn you Cen Ning, you learn to take the right way! If you touch the camera again, I’ll—”
“Don’t worry about it!” Cen Ning broke out without saying a word.
She shook off Wei Pinfang’s hand holding her wrist and stared at her viciously: “I don’t want you to worry about it.”
“What are you talking about?” Wei Pinfang looked at her in astonishment. She didn’t expect that Cen Ning, who had always been whispering and cowardly, would resist her like this, and she was stunned for a while.
Cen Ning’s eyes were bloodshot, and her tears were rolling. But she endured it abruptly, just didn’t want it to drip.
She was trembling all over, and she had never hated Wei Pinfang so much.
Wei Pinfang had never loved her like other mothers loved their children. She didn’t kiss her, hold her, or even hold hands. She always speaks coldly to her, harsh, harsh, and indifferent. Since childhood, she has enjoyed maternal love like this.
But she still didn’t hate her. She felt that she was at least a child with a mother, and at least in this world, she still had a blood-connected person.
But at this moment, when Wei Pinfang severely threw out the camera his father had left her, there was a deep hatred in her heart.
She is so precious to that camera. It has been with her for so many years and supports a distant dream.
But the moment it broke, she suddenly felt that there was nothing left.
Cen Ning ran out of the small building regardless, she rushed to the place where the camera had dropped, and carefully picked it up.
This camera has been around for many years. When my father bought it, it was very valuable. Although it is a bit outdated, she has always been able to use it because she has been careful to protect it.
But it fell like this now, and it’s hard to say whether it’s repaired well or not. If the repair is not done properly, it not only means that she doesn’t have the camera, but also that she can’t keep the things her father left for her.
Cen Ning ran out of the house holding the camera in despair.
Aunt Chen happened to see her when she came back from a trip: “Ningning, where are you going so late?”
Cen Ning nodded hurriedly at her, and left silently.
At dinner time, the Yan family is preparing to eat.
“Is Ningning at home? Have you eaten yet.” Yan Guofeng asked.
Aunt Chen: “I watched her go out just now, hey, this kid, I quarreled with Pinfang.”
The words and deeds had a meal with the chopsticks in hand, and only listened to Aunt Chen continuing: “I just went over and took a look. Pinfang was getting angry, saying that the kid was secretly learning photography…”
Xu Wanying: “Photography?”
“Yes, but because of her husband, Pinfang hates photography, so she smashed her camera.”
Xu Wanying: “If the kid really likes it, it’s okay to learn, why didn’t he even smashed the camera.”
Aunt Chen: “It can be seen that the previous events have had a deep impact… Anyway, I am angry now, saying that Ningning did this without telling her.”
Yan Guofeng: “Where did Ningning go?”
“I don’t know.”
Yan Guofeng: “Go ahead, make a call.”
In fact, there is no need for Yan Guofeng to speak and act before he stands up. He took the car key in his hand and said, “I’ll look for her.”
Aunt Chen: “Come back early. Bring Ningning back for dinner. It’s going to be dark. Don’t run around.”
“Um.”
When he went out, he made a phone call and walked to the garage, but he made several calls and Cen Ning did not answer.
Distracted, words and deeds drove out of the compound quickly.
On the other side, Cen Ning was sitting in a repair shop, showing the camera in his hand to the people in the shop. She has gone to several shops, but she has not got a satisfactory answer.
“Can it be fixed?”
“Hi… let me see.”
Cen Ning waited expectantly.
“Oh, little girl, this is your machine many years ago, right?”
“right.”
“This part is broken but it is not easy to repair, and you see that the lens has been damaged, and the maintenance cost is very high. It is better to buy a new one.”
The answer is the same as in the previous stores, Cen Ning insisted: “I want to fix it, do you have a way?”
“But even if you fix it, it won’t be practical anymore, it’s easy to break.” The shopkeeper said, “Little girl, I don’t want to lie to you, so I tell you the truth, it’s all like this. If I were you, I’m sure I won’t fix it anymore.”
“But it is important to me.”
“this-“
“Can you do your best?” Cen Ning’s face was pale, “I brought the money.”
The store couldn’t laugh or cry: “It’s not a question of money… Hey, let’s see it for you. Sit there and wait for a while.”
“Yeah! Thank you!”
Cen Ning sat down in the chair, because the camera breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was aching. She remembered Wei Pinfang’s disgusting look before, and covered her face sadly.
She had never quarreled with Wei Pinfang, she didn’t want to, and didn’t dare.
This incident happened today, so that she still couldn’t be dazzled.
She really felt so wronged. She didn’t understand why her mother smashed the camera without figuring out anything. It made her feel more uncomfortable than directly beating her and scolding her.
“Little girl.”
Cen Ning stood up: “How is it?”
“I’ll try my best to fix it for you, but you have to come back in a few days. Leave a number and I will call you when the time is over.”
“good!”
After leaving the number and paying, Cen Ning walked out of the store.
The maintenance costs are really high, and her part-time salary is fully paid. Although it is a pity, she does not regret it.
It was already dark, and Cen Ning suddenly didn’t know where to go.
I took out my cell phone and wanted to make a call to Zhang Ziyi, but someone else called. She saw that row of missed calls just now when she made the payment, but she didn’t call back.
At this time, looking at the phone that rang again, Cen Ning was dazed, and did not answer the call for a long time.
“Cen Ning.” Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away. The voice was heavy and angry.
When Cen Ning turned her head and looked around, she did see an angry face.
Majesty, solemn, cold silence… She was originally the most afraid of this person’s expression.
But at this time, she didn’t feel scared, but her nose was so sore, as if her tears could fall in the blink of an eye.
“What’s the matter with you!” Yanzhi walked up and took her cell phone, “Don’t answer my call?”
Cen Ning’s body seemed to be stuffed with cotton. The cotton blocked her veins, making her breathing difficult: “I’m afraid, you are at home. I…I don’t want to hear my mother speak.”
“So you thought she asked me to call you?”
Cen Ning nodded.
“You—” she was so angry with her words and deeds, but seeing her pitiful appearance, she couldn’t swear, and after a stalemate for a long time, she only spoke, “Do you know if you do this will cause others to worry about it, haven’t you seen it so late?” “
Cen Ning lowered his head: “I’ll fix the camera…”
“I know.”
So he went to every shop where he could repair the camera along the way, and found here all the way.
Cen Ning: “But I don’t know if it can be repaired, they said, it won’t be able to go back to before. This is my dad’s stuff… how can my mother do this, she can’t do this…”
I endured all the way and got angry all the way. At this moment, seeing words and deeds, somehow, I can’t bear anything anymore.
The tears that had been suffocated for a long time fell slapped down, and she didn’t even need to slide over her cheeks before hitting the ground. Cen Ning raised her hand and wiped it, but after she wiped it off, she couldn’t stop it.
“Sorry…” She didn’t want to cry.
“Don’t wipe it.” The words and deeds frowned, and took her hand, her face flushed with such force.
Her words and deeds were so distressed that she pressed her right hand on the back of her head, letting her lean against her chest.
If you don’t see her cry, you can’t see it.
But who would have thought that she was crying harder, not howling, but tears like a dyke, and she quickly wetted her clothes.
Unable to bear her words and deeds, she raised her hand to touch her head, and coaxed: “The camera will fix it.”
Cen Ning squeezed the clothes around his waist with both hands and rubbed his face.
She couldn’t persuade her by words and deeds, so she let her cry. When she couldn’t cry anymore, he stretched out his hand to lift her face, and drew away the wet tears with his fingertips.
“My nose and tears are all wiped on my clothes, are you happy?”
Cen Ning looked at him with red eyes: “…”
The words and deeds faintly twitched the corners of the mouth, and said in a low voice: “Okay, don’t worry, there is me.”
