If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 23.2

There were some strange emotions in his heart, like a wave of ripples suddenly moving across the calm surface of the water. The ripples passed by, and the water’s surface seemed to be clear and peaceful as before, but in fact, the water in that place was no longer the same as it was before.

Water flowed, it changed, and so did people.

After all, he’s been gone for years too.

The phone rang again. This time it wasn’t Cen Ning’s, but his own.

Yan Xingzhi retracted his gaze and walked out of the room with his phone in hand. He tore off his tie as he walked and hung it casually on the side.

“Hey.”

“Where are you?” Xin Zechuan’s voice came from the receiver.

Looking out at the gorgeous night scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he replied slowly, “Hotel.”

“…… Eblal?”

“Tsvlz.”

“Zsw, usw yal yv y bsvlz? Zsw yde Uld Lkdt? Twb??”

“Hey, hey!” Before Xin Zechuan said anything else, Tang Zheng grabbed the phone.

Tang Zheng’s voice was as if his heart had been stuck in his throat, “Brother Yan! Then you won’t be coming back tonight!”

Yan Xingzhi rubbed his eyebrows and said with restraint, “I don’t live with you. Why do you care if I go back or not?”

Tang Zheng: “Ah! I don’t care, I don’t care, then you take good care of the little girl, don’t bully her.”

“…”

Sullen laughter from the two came from the other side of the phone. Yan Xinzhi was too lazy to bother with them, so he hung up the phone.

It was already late at night, and normally, he should have already gone to bed because of his accurate biological clock and habit built from enlisting in the army. However, tonight, he just sat on the sofa and didn’t feel sleepy for a long time.

The next day, Cen Ning sat up on the bed.

Splitting headache, dry throat. Cen Ning frowned and swallowed, only to realize that she had slept in an unfamiliar place.

Was this the room reserved by the vice president?

Cen Ning vaguely remembered what they said before playing games and drinking. She pressed at her temples and slowly got off the bed.

Such a big room? With her alone?

Cen Ning was surprised as she walked toward the living room. The vice president was too generous.

Just when she was still puzzled over it, she heard a small voice coming from outside the bedroom. Cen Ning stopped and walked out slowly: “Senior Sister?”

No one answered her.

Cen Ning walked into the living room: “Senior…”

Cen Ning stopped abruptly after she saw Yan Xingzhi who was holding a glass of water in the kitchen. Her original words were abruptly stuffed back down her throat.

“Awake?” Yan Xingzhi took a sip of water and glanced at her.

The little girl’s hair in front of him was disheveled from sleeping, and her face was a little pale because of the hangover. His eyes gradually moved down, and Yan Xingzhi saw she was stepping on the ground with bare feet. The floor was made of dark solid wood, which made her tiny feet seem to glow white in contrast.

Yan Xingzhi’s eyes narrowed, and then he turned his eyes away. “Go back and put on your shoes.”

Cen Ning stood there, her scalp tingling. “You, why are you here?”

“Yesterday you drank too much, and I saw you.”

“You were at the wine store too?”

“Mhm.”

Cen Ning was embarrassed in her heart: “I, I rarely… drink.”

Yan Xingzhi frowned slightly. “Oh.”

Cen Ning: “…”

Yan Xingzhi didn’t know what she was thinking and just watched Cen Ning in a daze. Her face had become red and white as if her soul had gone out of her body.

When he was about to interrupt her daze, the phone rang again.

Yan Xingzhi had to pick up the phone first: “Hello.”

“Brother Yan, are you up?”

“Mhm.”

“We have to go to the camp later. What do you say?”

Yan Xingzhi put down the glass of water and walked over to Cen Ning. “Bring my military uniform here.”

“Where?”

Yan Xingzhi said the address and room number. After speaking, he motioned to Cen Ning to go back to the room.

Cen Ning was dumbfounded, not knowing what he meant.

Seeing that she didn’t move, he reached out and patted her head. “Go into the room and put on your shoes.”

Cen Ning suddenly realized: “Oh okay!”

Cen Ning ran back to the room immediately. Yan Xingzhi looked at her flustered back and smiled.

Half an hour later, Tang Zheng arrived.

“Here, put it on.”

Yan Xingzhi received his military uniform and went into the bathroom.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng turned his attention to Cen Ning, who was obediently eating breakfast next to him: “Little girl, you were creating a big disturbance yesterday.”

Cen Ning froze: “Huh?”

Tang Zheng only knew that Cen Ning was drunk, but he didn’t know the specifics of what happened last night. He had just wanted to tease her.

“Oh, don’t you remember? Yesterday, you were so drunk that you sang in front of Brother Yan. That imposing scene… tsk, do you know what you sang?”

Cen Ning’s face turned pale. “Wait, what?”

Tang Zheng cleared his throat and opened his mouth. “The vast horizon is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the green hills… Hey, just this song, the Phoenix Legend (TLN: Popular Chinese music duo) sang this, right?”

Clang—

The knife in Cen Ning’s hand fell onto the plate.

Tang Zheng smiled, leaned forward, and said, “I can sing pretty well, but what you sang yesterday was much worse than mine! You don’t even know, Brother Yan’s face turned green when you sang it!”

Cen Ning: “…”
