If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 9

Cen Ning didn’t know that his words and deeds had younger brothers besides his words and deeds Yao, who were as old as him.

“Ningning, this is Nanru,” Xu Wanying introduced to her enthusiastically when she approached the living room. “Usually he lives on campus, so you haven’t seen him since he has been here for a while. He is my…second son. .”

Cen Ning obediently greeted her, and the other side glanced at her and nodded.

There was no fluctuation on the surface, but Cen Ning was a little surprised, why no one had mentioned him before. He looks only one or two things as long as his words and deeds, but his cold and indifferent temperament seems to be carved out of a mold. When a person sits there, his forehead seems to say: No strangers should enter.

Cen Ning went back to her own small building after saying hello. The fact that she had a brother in her words and deeds didn’t make her take it seriously, but she kept hanging about her final exam.

She was looking forward to showing him her report card, but his expression just now looked a little scary.

What’s wrong with him…

“I’m back.” Wei Pinfang came out of the room, “I haven’t eaten the food yet.”

“No.”

“I’ll go next to the kitchen.”

“Mom.” Cen Ning stopped Wei Pinfang and took out the final transcript from his schoolbag, “This…examination result.”

“The results came out? How did the exam go.” Wei Pinfang took the report card and glanced at it with no extraneous expression. “The class is ranked 19th…You only got 19th in the exam?”

Cen Ning: “I, this time…”

“You can still be in the top ten in elementary school, why is it getting worse after entering junior high school.”

Cen Ning hurriedly explained: “This is different, the one in elementary school, simple.”

“Where is there something simple and not simple, then how can others do well in the exam, and how you study well is to do it?”

“No…” Cen Ning suddenly felt inexplicable, her tongue was astringent, and the joy at the moment of getting her transcript was wiped out by the successive blows after returning home, “I, I have improved.”

She said this very quietly, so low that Wei Pinfang didn’t hear it at all, but Cen Ning didn’t mind, because she didn’t expect any reaction from her at the moment, her attitude and words had hurt her. So Cen Ning just subconsciously comforted herself: she didn’t act, she was working hard.

After the meal, Cen Ning carried her schoolbag and prepared to enter the house.

“Ningning.”

Cen Ning turned her head and saw Wei Pinfang suddenly said, “Have you seen that brother Xingzhi.”

Cen Ning nodded.

Wei Pinfang: “Then remember, that brother’s surname is Xu, so don’t make any mistakes then.”

Cen Ning was surprised: “Follow, do you have Aunt Xu’s surname?”

Wei Pinfang was too lazy to talk about these messy things, but worried that Cen Ning would say something wrong in front of the Yan family in the future, so he explained, “Yes, because Xu Wanying only entered the door three or four years ago, so Xu Nanru would be fourteen or five years old. It’s been a long time since the biological mother who went to work has been dead for many years, and Xu Wanying is just his stepmother.”

“Yes, but Xu Nanru…”

“It’s pretty much like the line, right.”

Cen Ning nodded.

“Of course the two of them will be a bit like half mothers.” Wei Pinfang frowned, with a slight sarcasm in his eyes. “There is really nothing good about a man. I married one at home and hooked up with one outside. Oh, Xu Wanying is also really lucky. After so many years, I finally got my head.”

Wei Pinfang managed to think about himself, and this kind of adult speech did not avoid Cen Ning in the slightest. And Cen Ning was completely shocked. So, is Uncle Yan pedaling two boats?

Suddenly, Cen Ning felt a little difficult to look at the words directly, and suddenly understood why the words and deeds were so bad today.

She never thought that she looked glamorous, what she wanted and what she said and did, there was such a story behind it.

**

In the next period of time, Cen Ning didn’t encounter words and deeds much. Sometimes when they met, they just passed by side by side, without even stopping a word.

Later, New Year’s Eve arrived. That day, Cen Ning followed Wei Pinfang to the market to purchase ingredients. Tonight everyone will have a New Year’s Eve dinner at the dinner table, so Wei Pinfang also planned to cook some dishes for everyone to try.

After returning, Cen Ning helped Wei Pinfang in the kitchen. There is a distance between the kitchen and the living room, so Cen Ning didn’t respond when she heard a vague exclaim from outside.

Cen Ning ran out in a panic until some porcelain slammed on the ground and made a loud noise. And when she came out and saw the picture in front of her, she was stunned.

It was broken to be a white porcelain vase on the coffee table, and on the ground, there was actually a scuffle with Xu Nanru’s words and deeds. The two fists hit each other’s face and body without mercy.

“What are you doing!” Yan Su and Yan Guofeng also came out of the study after hearing the sound, and Yan Su stepped forward and pulled them away. The words and deeds that were pulled apart and Xu Nanru were calm. The two seemed to cool down in an instant, but they just looked at each other indifferently without saying a word.

“What are you guys doing during the Chinese New Year! Have you put me in your eyes?” Yan Guofeng was angry, slapped on the coffee table, fearing that the air became a bit rigid.

Xu Wanying was there just now, she secretly wiped her tears, and said in a panic: “Dad, don’t be angry, they are just…”

“Don’t explain to them first, do it, Nanru, say it yourself.”

Words and deeds: “There is no reason, just can’t understand the other party.”

“What are you talking about, he is your brother.” He said solemnly, “You are the brother of words and deeds, and you are not serious or serious! Usually training is used to beat his own people?!”

The words and deeds became colder and colder: “Your own person? You dare not say such things when Mom is still alive.”

Yan Su: “You!”

“Shut up your words and deeds.” Yan Guofeng frowned and turned to Xu Nanru, “Nanru, what’s the matter?”

Xu Nanru’s tone was calm, as if he was not in the fight just now: “It’s okay, he also said it, just can’t understand the other party.”

“You…you brats!”

Because it was New Year’s Eve, Yan Guofeng’s daughters and grandsons who were not at home had all returned, but everyone watched this scene and did not dare to persuade them.

In a moment of silence, Cen Ning stood on the side, watching the words and deeds and Xu Nanru walk away under the glare of the elders, and then went back to their own rooms.

This attitude really makes Yan Guofeng unable to calm down.

“It’s the reverse! It’s the reverse!” Yan Guofeng sat on the sofa and gasped, “Let them go, let them go, no need to scream for dinner! Let’s take care of ourselves!”

…

A New Year’s Eve dinner was boring. Everyone decorated the peace and asked the juniors to toast and toast drinks to Yan Guofeng, but everyone knew that because of his two grandsons, Yan Guofeng had never been interested.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone left.

Yan Guofeng didn’t let people give food to the two fighting boys, so everyone didn’t dare to express anything.

It was late at night, and Cen Ning kept thinking about her words and deeds, so she secretly walked back to the villa from the small building.

She had learned something from Aunt Chen earlier that her words and deeds and Xu Nanru would fight because of Xu Wanying, probably because her words and deeds were indifferent to Xu Wanying and he said two things that Xu Nanru didn’t like to hear, so the two ridiculed each other, and then He said nothing to do it.

To be honest, Cen Ning’s words and deeds have always been a particularly mature image in Cen Ning’s words, so his sudden behavior of such a juvenile temperament was beyond her expectation.

Perhaps, in front of parents, everyone is a child at all ages.

“Aunt Chen.”

“Oh, Ningning, you came just right.” Aunt Chen pulled her into the kitchen, “You think you must be hungry if you haven’t eaten anything after all this is so late. The father loves you, so you can send him something to eat. Even if it is discovered, I won’t be willing to scold you.”

“Yes, yes.” Cen Ning was anxious to find a reason to see what he said and did.

“It’s great.” Aunt Chen muttered as she put some food on the plate, “I just saw Wanying sent Nanru to Nanru, hey, is it a baby…”

Cen Ning felt a little astringent in her heart, but she didn’t dare to make any comments. She only said, “Auntie, are there any…boiled eggs.”

“What do you want that? I don’t like eating.”

“No… his face is a bit swollen.”

“Oh! Look at me and forget all about it.” Aunt Chen is busy preparing to boil eggs, “Wait, you will be ready soon.”

“Um.”

A few minutes later, Cen Ning went upstairs with a dinner plate. She knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response inside. Cen Ning hesitated and pressed the doorknob lightly.

There was no light in the room. Cen Ning looked around, but found that the words and deeds were not in the room. She walked in and put the dinner plate on the desk.

“What about people…”

The room was very quiet, and Cen Ning pressed the light switch, only to find that the balcony was not closed tightly. When she stepped forward, she saw a person standing outside the balcony.

The person on the balcony probably noticed that someone had turned on the light in his room, and turned his head to look, so Cen Ning met his extremely cold eyes.

“…”

“What are you doing?” He leaned against the railing with his words and deeds, with a cigarette in his right hand.

Cen Ning: “…I, give me food.”

“No, take it away.”

“But you haven’t, haven’t eaten yet.”

“Not hungry.”

“Then you are injured.”

The words and deeds frowned slightly, and did not say anything.

A long silence.

Cen Ning looked at his indifferent appearance, and suddenly a wave of anger rose in her heart. Looking at him, she repeated every word: “You, hurt, hurt.”

Words and deeds: “…”

Cen Ning bit her lip, and her heart was suddenly angry and wronged. It was the first time they talked in so many days, but how could he be so cold. Besides, how could he not care about his body so much?

Probably dizzy, Cen Ning did the most daring thing since she came to talk in a daze: she stepped forward and snatched the cigarette in his hand, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out with one foot.

“…”

“…”

Words and deeds: “You—”

“wait!”

Cen Ning didn’t wait for the reaction of words and deeds, turned around and went back to the room. When she came out again, she held a warm egg in the palm of one hand.

“What do you do.” His words and deeds raised his eyebrows, somewhat novel to Cen Ning’s rare boldness.

But Cenning did not answer him, but grabbed the collar of words and deeds with his other hand, and pulled it down forcefully.

He was caught off guard by words and deeds, and he was really bent down by the little man in front of him. In the gap between his astonishment, the warm chicken rice was rubbed against the corner of his mouth.

“hiss-“

The painful sound of words and deeds pulled Cen Ning back from her enthusiasm. She was taken aback for a moment, her eyes trembled in panic.

“It hurts, does it hurt?”

This pain is nothing to words and deeds.

The night is shrouded, and the winter in the capital is so cold that it makes people feel chilly, but at this moment, watching the little girl whose nose is red with cold, he blurts out for some reason.

“It hurts.”

The author has something to say: Regardless of three or seven twenty-one, let’s say it hurts!

Xu Nanru: You will thank me in the future.
