If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 71

Everyone in Yanjia quickly learned that Cen Ning was about to start preparing for pregnancy. In the following week, Aunt Chen and Xu Wanying both began to prepare various nutritional supplements for her. Daily ration of fruits, folic acid, and tonics for strengthening the body…

In short, the battle is very big.

In the living room, Cen Ning and Yi Xi are sitting together, watching TV and eating fruit.

“Ningning, come here, take this medicine first.” Aunt Chen’s voice came from the kitchen in the distance.

Cen Ning’s face suddenly became bitter: “Here is it.”

After answering, I turned around and patted Yi Xi: “It’s you. Later, I just mentioned to you that I was going to have a baby. You told everyone that Aunt Chen is now—”

Yi Xi replied: “Oh, I just said that to Aunt Chen casually. Besides, you have to be prepared for how important this matter is.”

Cen Ning: “But that tonic is terrible.”

Yi Xi took her shoulders: “Xiao Ningning, it’s hard to drink, but you have to drink it. You were too busy to work and consume too much, and you are still thin…Tsk, bear with me.”

Yi Xi laughed while persuading her, with a lively attitude that “it’s nothing to do with her.” Cen Ning glared at her and got up with drooping face.

In fact, this tonic is not a medicine, it is a soup specially prepared by the nutritionist. There are a lot of physical needs added to it, everything is good, but it is very painful.

“Hurry up and drink while it’s hot.”

“OK, got it.”

Aunt Chen turned back to the kitchen again, and Cen Ning took a bite with a spoon: “Um…it’s so bitter.”

When he walked over by words and deeds, he just saw Cen Ning, whose facial features were all wrinkled together. He sat down next to her and glanced at the contents of the bowl: “Really so bitter?”

“Too bad.” Cen Ning looked at his words and deeds pitifully, “It’s horrible.”

Words and deeds also feel distressed: “This thing is specially adjusted by the nutritionist, and it is good for your health.”

“But in fact, you don’t need to drink it, right? You see Yi Xi, she didn’t drink these before.”

“That’s what it says…”

“Yeah, don’t you think so too?!” Cen Ning saw the needle, “Then you can drink it for me, hurry!”

Cen Ning pushed the bowl in front of him very quickly, gave her a look at her words and deeds, her eyes forbidden.

Cen Ning pouted her lips and rubbed next to him: “Brother Xing…”

Words and deeds always have nothing to do with Cen Ning’s kind of coquetry. When she shows her weakness, he can only continue. So he cleared his throat, swept his eyes around, and said in a shallow voice, “Let’s take it as an example.”

Cen Ning nodded like garlic: “Hmm!”

He took a sip of the bowl with words and deeds, and the soup from the tip of the tongue to the end of the tongue was really bitter.

“It’s terrible, isn’t it?”

His words and deeds curled his eyebrows: “Fortunately…”

Cen Ning: “Is it okay? Would you try another bite?”

Words and deeds: “…”

Picking up the bowl, just when she was about to let her take another sip, a surprised and exaggerated voice suddenly came from the side: “What are you eating? Mr. Yan! Why is this dark thing in your hand so like Cen Ning? Tonic to eat.”

The corners of the eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression was a bit awkward.

But Cen Ning was too embarrassed at all, got up and threw down Yi Xi and stopped her mouth: “Hush!”

Yi Xi: “Woo&%…”

Cen Ning looked flustered: “You keep your voice down!”

But her remedy was obviously too late. Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound. She looked at Cen Ning, and then at the words and deeds holding the bowl, and she understood it all at once.

“Oh, what are you doing, put it down.”

He coughed softly: “Aunt Chen, it’s actually…”

“It’s not for you to drink what you can drink!”

Cen Ning was reprimanded for her words and deeds, and quickly came out to explain: “Aunt Chen, the medicine is too bitter, I…”

“She said that the medicine is too bitter, I don’t believe it, so I just have a taste.” The words and deeds continued.

Cen Ning glanced at him and nodded when he saw his words and deeds with a serious expression.

Aunt Chen looked helpless: “How old is the curiosity so heavy, this medicine is bitter. Let go, don’t drink Cen Ning’s things, what is this like?”

Words and deeds: “…”

“Aunt Chen said that.” Cen Ning walked back to the table, took the bowl of words and deeds, and drank, “I shouldn’t really give him a taste.”

The words were closed, and the hand under the table was squeezed by words and deeds.

Aunt Chen: “You guys, it’s really…”

“Getting into trouble,” Yi Xi slipped out of the restaurant griefly while no one was paying attention to her. But he was caught by Xu Nanru before he went to the living room, “Where to go?”

“Go back to the room.”

Xu Nanru: “What’s wrong?”

Yi Xi looked like he wanted to laugh and tried to suffocate: “Your brother secretly helped Cen Ning drink medicine and was reported by me, and they are now being nagged by Aunt Chen.”

Xu Nanru shook her head and knocked her head: “You are fooling around again.”

“This is nonsense, I’m doing it for them.” Yi Xi said as she pulled Xu Nanru upstairs, “Hurry up, let’s go back to the house, and I will be attacked when they come out.”

In the end, Cen Ning had to drink the medicine obediently, but every time she said and deed for a period of time, she would prepare her favorite toffee to relieve her suffering. Once I stuffed a few candies in my pocket and I forgot to take them out and brought them to the army. Later, the toffee fell out of the pocket when the army was changing clothes. The brothers who were with us found out that they had laughed for a long time.

But in the end, he said “wife likes to eat sweets” and blocked the group of people’s laughter. The single dogs in the army couldn’t laugh anymore when they heard this.

**

Cen Ning’s “bitter” days did not last long. Three months later, her period did not come, so she ran to buy a few pregnancy test sticks for testing, all with double red lines.

After the test results came out, he sat on the bedside with words and deeds, staring at the pregnancy test sticks in his hands for a long time: “You really are pregnant?”

Cen Ning was a little excited, and she spoke with a vibrato: “Really.”

Words and deeds slowly raised her head and glanced at her, and then slowly fell to her lower abdomen: “Is this thing accurate?”

“One is not allowed and two are not allowed, so it’s not always the third one, right?”

His words and deeds were true, but he was still not at ease looking at this thing, so he put the pregnancy test stick away, got up and took Cen Ning and walked outside the room: “Follow me.”

Cen Ning was a little confused: “Where to go.”

“Hospital.”

“what?”

“Go and check to make sure.”

The words and deeds brought Cen Ning downstairs, and ran into Xu Wanying and Aunt Chen on the way, and when they walked out, they met Xu Nanru who had just returned.

The words and deeds only left in a hurry, and did not take the car keys. At this time, watching Xu Nanru walking towards him, he quickly took the car keys that he had not had time to put away.

Xu Nanru paused, then turned his head: “Where to go.”

Words and deeds: “Hospital.”

Xu Nanru: “What’s wrong?”

His words and deeds were hurried, and he simply said: “I’m pregnant.”

Xu Nanru: “…”

Xu Nanru has never been easy to be overjoyed, so his face was calm when he entered the house with this news.

Aunt Chen: “Where Xingzhi and Ningning are going, it’s almost lunch.”

Xu Nanru passed by and replied: “Hospital.”

Aunt Chen: “What?! What’s wrong?”

Xu Wanying got up hurriedly: “Are you sick?”

“No.” Xu Nanru said calmly, “I’m pregnant.”

“!!!”

**

At one o’clock in the afternoon, a certain hospital in Beijing walked into a group of people violently. Among them, the old man walking in the front was still in military uniform.

Everyone looked sideways, and saw all the people walking up the escalator, all the way up, to the door of the gynecology department.

When Yan Guofeng and the others arrived, Cen Ning and Yan Dezhi were sitting on the chairs of the hospital waiting for the result. Cen Ning turned his eyes inadvertently and saw Yan Jia and the others standing there mightily.

She was taken aback for a moment, and stood up from her chair: “Grandpa, why are you all here?”

Yan Guofeng quickly motioned her to sit down: “How is it, what is the result?”

Words and deeds: “Still waiting, it should be out soon.”

Yan Guofeng nodded, but his eyes were obviously a little eager.

Cen Ning: “It’s fine if you wait at home, and you will notify your family immediately when the results are available.”

Aunt Chen said: “Where can I sit here? No, I heard that you came to the hospital to check this out. After coming down from the meeting, I just asked people to drive to the hospital without returning home.”

Cen Ning chuckled lightly: “You are so anxious.”

Yan Guofeng: “Aren’t I in a hurry? You see, Nanru is the younger brother of Xing. His children have been born, and there is no news about Xing!”

He looked at his watch and said with a smile: “There will be news soon, I will get the report.”

Today is the weekend. There are many people outside the department of gynecology who are waiting for medical treatment or examination. They are either blatantly or secretly, paying attention to Yan Guofeng and others.

Yan Guofeng was already solemn and majestic, coupled with his military uniform, it looked really solemn. But after a while, after a young handsome man came out with a list and said something, the majestic old man suddenly showed a big smile, which looked like an ordinary old man who shared his family…

Someone turned their ears slightly and heard a few words. It turned out that the girl standing in front of the crowd was pregnant, so the family was so happy.

Later, a group of people clustered around the girl to do other tests for the formal pregnancy. After a group of people had left, someone asked in a low voice, “Who are those people?”

“It looks like a soldier, I think the old man is a bit familiar…”

“Tsk, I don’t think these people are simple, do you see the man next to the little girl? It’s really outstanding.”

“Yes, I saw it too, those young people are all pretty.”

“By the way, so many people come to check on a pregnancy. Look at me, you have to do everything yourself.”

“Oh, how do you compare with others? When you see that family is not an ordinary family, it may be a young grandmother, what are you?”

…

In the early part of her pregnancy, Cen Ning had serious sickness.

Sometimes I feel like vomiting suddenly, but I can’t vomit anything after retching for a long time. The restlessness makes the whole person very uncomfortable.

Later, I went to the hospital for a detailed examination, and after adjusting my diet, it finally eased up somewhat.

“Is it a boy or a girl?” Yan Xingyao sat next to Cen Ning, looking curious.

Cen Ning touched her fairly flat belly: “I don’t know yet.”

“Don’t the hospital tell you? You don’t want to know.”

Cen Ning: “Boys and girls are fine.”

Words and deeds: “I said it’s better to be a girl, you see that we have two boys as soon as we are born, and it is interesting to have another girl.”

Yi Xi didn’t agree with her words and deeds. She always likes to frustrate him, so she said after hearing the words: “What a trick, our boys are not interesting anymore.”

“I didn’t say that again, I just like girls.”

Yi Xi: “If you like a girl, you can give birth to one by yourself. Don’t you have a girlfriend?”

Yao Yao glared at her: “Nonsense, where is my girlfriend.”

“Didn’t Aunt Chen say that you all went on a blind date? The other party is still a rich and powerful eldest lady.”

“That’s just a blind date! It didn’t happen again.”

“It didn’t work?” Yi Xi shook her head, “It’s a pity, but your words and deeds are so unattractive, you will need a blind date to make a girlfriend.”

“Fart! There are a lot of girls chasing me, okay, I’m not being annoyed by my family so I went, I warn you, don’t talk nonsense—”

“Who is warned?” At this moment, two men walked into the living room, about the same height, about the same expression, and even the eyes looking at the words and deeds were about the same.

Yan Yan immediately fainted after seeing the incoming person.

To be afraid of words and deeds is to be afraid since childhood. And Xu Nanru, he didn’t like him very much when he was a child, because he always felt that he was a foreigner. But now, Xu Nanru is in charge of the company’s economic lifeline, and as half of his subordinates, he certainly doesn’t want to offend him.

“No one…”

Words and deeds walked up to Cen Ning and glanced at her words and deeds with a dazzling look: “Speak politely.”

Words and deeds slumped his face: “Oh.”

I was too lazy to be bothered by words and deeds, and reached out to Lazenin: “Will you be uncomfortable today?”

Cen Ning shook his head: “It’s okay.”

“What’s okay? I vomited when I was eating at noon.” Yi Xi gave Cen Ning a worried look, “I didn’t eat much.”

He twisted his eyebrows and gave Cen Ning a dissatisfied look: “Never tell the truth.”

Cen Ning took his hand and shook it gently: “But it’s much better than before.”

“you……”

“By the way, where’s the plum that I want to eat? Did you buy it?” Seeing that he was about to start talking, Cen Ning hurriedly changed the subject.

Glancing at her words and deeds, he took the bag that was just before entering the door, “Don’t eat too much, I’ll go to eat later.”

“Um!”

The words and deeds took Cen Ning back to the room to rest. Yi Xi casually leaned on the sofa, admiring the couple while admiring: “Your brother is really good to Cen Ning, then what kind of Internet celebrity is Mei, that store? It’s so far, it takes two hours to drive a car.”

Xu Nanru said, “Go back to the house, where are the two little ghosts.”

Yi Xi followed him upstairs: “Hey, why haven’t you bought me plums? When I was pregnant, I didn’t receive such treatment.”

Xu Nanru paused, and when he looked back at her, his eyes were deep: “You don’t feel sour at that time.”

“Yes?”

“I often eat Chengnan Xiaolongbao in the middle of the night, forget?”

Yi Xi blinked, remembering this, Xu Nanru was often tossed by her when she was pregnant.

Yi Xi smiled awkwardly: “I was pregnant for six years, haha.”

Xu Nanru snorted coldly, and continued to walk up: “White-eyed wolf.”

Yi Xipidianpidian followed up: “I am not a white-eyed wolf.”

“You are not a white-eyed wolf.”

Yi Xi quickly reached out his hand and touched his ass: “I’m a pervert, hoo!”

Xu Nanru: “…”

**

Cen Ning’s belly grew bigger day by day, and by the eighth month, he had taken a vacation and stayed with her at home.

Every evening, words and deeds will take Cen Ning out for a walk, sometimes in the compound, and sometimes driving farther.

After dinner that day, Cen Ning suddenly said, “Shall we go to the school for a walk?”

Words and deeds: “School? Are you college.”

“Of course not. It’s our middle and high school. I remember there is a long street outside the school. There are so many delicious foods.”

Words and deeds smiled and squeezed her face: “You can’t eat those things.”

“But I suddenly wanted to take a look.” Cen Ning tensed his words and deeds, “Go, let’s go, it’s not far anyway, go for a walk.”

She can’t do anything about her words and deeds: “Well, it’s up to you.”

The school is indeed not far from the compound, and it takes only ten minutes to drive there.

Words and deeds caused the driver to park the car on the street, and he took Cen Ning and walked in.

Cen Ning hasn’t come back for several years. The road has changed a lot over the years, but it is gratifying that many small shops are still standing.

“Look at that milk tea shop. I used to come often with Zhang Ziyi and Song Ci. The milk tea there is delicious.”

“Yes.”

“Yeah, you graduated when you drove it up, so you couldn’t drink it.” Cen Ning was a little greedy when she said, “Eh, do you want to try it.”

The words and deeds smiled faintly: “Do you want me to taste it, or you want to drink it yourself.”

“I didn’t want to drink it.”

He said and said: “I have no interest in that thing. Since you don’t want to drink it, let’s not buy it.”

“Hey, buy it.” Cen Ning grabbed his sleeve, “how do you know that you won’t be interested if you haven’t drunk it.”

Cen Ning insisted on dragging his words and deeds to the door of the milk tea shop: “Hello, a cup of macchiato at room temperature with five sweet points and pearls.”

Words and deeds: “Speaking so smoothly, it has been planned for a long time.”

Cen Ning denied: “I want you to **** favorite flavor.”

“It’s best.”

The milk tea is ready soon, and I hold the milk tea in my left hand and hold her in my right hand. He glanced at what was in his hand, frowned and took a sip.

“sweet.”

Cen Ning looked at him intently: “It’s only five minutes sweet.”

Words and deeds: “It’s still sweet.”

Cen Ning: “Um… isn’t it delicious?”

Words and deeds glanced at her: “Maybe so many years have passed, it is no longer the same taste.”

Cen Ning hurriedly said, “No? I’ll try it with a sip!”

The words and deeds suppressed a smile on her lips, and brought the milk tea to her: “Just a bite.”

“Um!”

Cen Ning sucked a straw and took a sip very carefully. The fragrant milk tea is mixed with three or four full and elastic pearls, and after one bite, the pores all over the body are generally opened.

Cen Ning looked at her words and deeds as if she had eaten some earthly delicacy, and shook her head helplessly: “Is there such a delicious drink.”

“It’s delicious!” Cen Ning was so touched, “I don’t think its taste has changed at all, it’s so delicious.”

Words and deeds: “Will you take another sip?”

Cen Ning covered her mouth and shook her head: “Aunt Chen said, tea and sugar can’t be eaten indiscriminately. Anyway, I’ve tasted it.”

“Poor.” The words and deeds rubbed her head and put a hand on her arm, “Be patient, wait until the child is born, how do you want to eat.”

“That won’t work, I have to control my weight after giving birth.”

“Take care of your body, don’t worry about it.”

“Yi Xi said that men always have their own mouths and their hearts.” Cen Ning said seriously, “He must only say that his wife is fat, it’s okay and cute, but in a blink of an eye he will stare at the long legs on the road. “

Her words and deeds stagnated, and she looked at Cen Ning with a black line: “Don’t listen to her saying these things all the time.”

Cen Ning whispered: “But I think it makes sense.”

Words and deeds: “…”

Cen Ning: “Isn’t it?”

He took a breath: “Do you think I am?”

“I think—” Cen Ning watched the sudden change of words and deeds in her eyes, and the alarm bells in her heart, so she turned around afterwards, “I think everything is unexpected, you must not!”

Words and deeds: “Count your acquaintances.”

The two walked to the gate of the school in a scattered way.

Cen Ning stood at the gate of the school, and when he glanced at it, he noticed that the school had also changed.

The teaching building has been newly repaired, there are more green plants, and the school gate is more brilliant. But the only thing that doesn’t change is the breath of youth. You are just standing here, as if you can see the feelings and thoughts of the years when you were still wearing school uniforms.

“Eh, wait a minute.” A pair of boys and girls walked by, and the girl chased after the boy, pulling his school uniform jacket anxiously.

When Cen Ning looked back, the boy happened to be grabbed by the girl, frowning and staring at her: “What are you doing.”

Girl: “Cici sent you a message, why didn’t you reply, but I introduced you to her at the beginning, and you are too shameless to me.”

“I have to reply to her whatever she sends?”

“All friends, of course—”

“Well, she said she likes me and want to be my girlfriend, how do you say I reply to her?”

The girl froze for a moment.

From Cen Ning’s perspective, she just can see her somewhat bewildered expression.

“I……”

“Say it.”

“How would I know!”

The boy snorted coldly: “I don’t know this, are you stupid?”

“Why are you swearing?”

“Too lazy to tell you.”

The man was annoyed, turned his head and left. The girl stood there for a while, seemingly embarrassed, but finally looked at the figure going away in front of her and still raised her foot to catch up.

When Cen Ning watched this scene with gusto, he stretched out his hands and pulled her by words and deeds: “Look, let’s go.”

Cen Ning did not move: “They must like each other.”

“what?”

“Just now those two kids, they must like each other.” Cen Ning smiled, “They are also pulling strings for others. Look at that boyishness, the little girl is really a bit stupid.”

Words and deeds glanced at her: “No matter how stupid you are, you are not as stupid as you.”

Cen Ning: “…what does it matter to me.”

He pondered over his words and deeds, and said, “The girl pulled the string without knowing that other girls like the boy. And some people know that other girls want her fiancé to be too fart. Send them a love letter, you say, who is this stupid?”

Cen Ning was stunned for a while, but in vain remembered some stupid things she had done a long time ago when she was a student of this school…At that time, she served as a courier for all the girls in the school, and baffled their love letters to her words and deeds.

Cen Ning’s complexion changed: “Then, that would make me ignorant!”

Words and deeds: “Um…not sensible.”

“Of course I am ignorant, if I were to go back to it now…”

“How are you?”

Cen Ning bulged her cheeks and said angrily: “I’ll tell everyone that you are mine. Even if they write 800 letters a day, it’s useless.”

He chuckled lightly and squeezed her face: “Stupid.”

Everything in the world is mutual cause and effect.

If she goes back in time, she still doesn’t have to do anything.

Because he knows that the combination of every aspect of her growth will become her now, no matter how she changes——

Do you believe it, the gears of fate will always hold them together.
