If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 25

Yan Xingzhi came and went quickly. Cen Ning walked back to the shooting area with a blushing face, bowed her head, and helped Hao Jie organize the equipment.

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. Cen Ning felt embarrassed when she thought of Yan Xingzhi’s amused tone when he whispered to her.

Oh… the salute was done with the right hand.

She knew this, and not that she hadn’t learned it, but she forgot when she was nervous.

“Hey, who was that person just now? Do all the army brothers look like this? Sure enough, all the handsome ones have been handed over to the state.” Liu Xin whispered in admiration.

“Didn’t the soldier next to him call him the deputy battalion? Wow… It’s amazing to be in that position at such a young age?” Another staff member commented.

“Hey, how old do you say he is? Does he have a girlfriend?”

“It looks like he’s only in his twenties. As for his girlfriend… I heard the soldiers are very busy, so I don’t think he has one.” After the staff finished speaking, he smiled and said, “But even if he doesn’t have one, it’s none of your business.”

“The time is limited, I will go to the shooting range with Group A,” Hao Jie said, “Cen Ning, Liu Xin, you are going to the training ground with your camera and Group B. What I want is the most passionate and realistic pictures, remember, take more shots so it’s easier to choose afterwards.”

“Yes, Sir.”

The two groups went in different directions.

Cen Ning and Liu Xin went to the training ground with a few soldiers from Group B. After arriving, Cen Ning saw someone in the field in front of them doing close combat training from a distance.

The leading soldier announced, “Ms Cen, our first project is here.”

Cen Ning replied embarrassingly, “No need to call me Miss…”

The soldier scratched the back of his head. “I don’t know what else to call you.”

Cen Ning was also a little embarrassed. “Okay, whatever.”

“Mhm!”

“Hey, it’s that person.” After approaching, Liu Xin suddenly pulled on Cen Ning’s sleeve.

Cen Ning adjusted the camera and looked up, and sure enough, she saw Yan Xingzhi standing on the field. He had changed into a suit of black shirt sleeves, camouflage pants, and combat boots.

Clean and neat, his whole person had a chilling aura.

He didn’t notice their approach, and he was confronting a man of about the same height face to face. The people around were watching nervously, and the scene’s atmosphere was crackling.

Suddenly, the man opposite Yan Xingzhi punched him in the face.

Cen Ning was startled, and just as she was about to exclaim out loud, she saw Yan Xingzhi dexterously escape. He had a quick speed. He slightly tilted his head and quickly grabbed the opponent’s wrist, then he bent his long legs and kicked. The man was knocked out a meter or two.

But the man didn’t stop there, and he soon stepped forward again to fight with Yan Xingzhi.

They exchanged blows back and forth when the man suddenly lowered his body and swept out. Yan Xingzhi was about to be kicked, but he did not flinch or back away. Instead, he locked onto the man’s legs and quickly rode down on him to suppress him.

Finally, a powerful fist slammed down.

That smash could probably smash into a person’s head.

Cen Ning was stunned, and when his fist was about to strike the man’s cheek, her heart felt suspended. But a few tenths of seconds later, the fist stopped just one centimetre away from the man’s head.

“…”

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Yan Xingzhi loosened his hands and feet and stood up calmly. “Unqualified.”

The man who fell to the ground sat up. “Hey, Brother Yan, that’s only because I fought you I can beat anyone else!”

Yan Xingzhi gave a cold snort and then stretched out his hand in front of him. “Get up.”

The man smiled, grabbed his hand, and got up.

“Practice well, look at you.” Yan Xingzhi patted his shoulder. “Extra time.”

The man was not annoyed and hurriedly saluted with a serious face. “Yes!”

When he turned his head, he saw Cen Ning. She was wearing a camouflage uniform with her back facing the camera, and her small face was white, almost dazzling under the sun. At this moment, she looked straight at him, her pupils trembled, and he didn’t know if she was frightened.

“Report!” The soldier next to Cen Ning said, after noticing that Yan Xingzhi had looked towards them for a while, “Ms Cen and Ms Liu are filming here right now. ”

Cen Ning: “…”

“Ms Cen.” Yan Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and called out in neither a light nor heavy tone.

And his voice also made Cen Ning feel embarrassed to death. How many pounds and how many taels was she worth… to be called miss? (TLN: Taels is an ancient Chinese form of money.)

“Do as you wish.” After speaking, Yan Xingzhi raised his foot and walked over. Cen Ning thought he was going to leave, but he didn’t expect him to walk in front of the soldier to her. “Ms Cen, are you scared?”

The light was dazzling. Cen Ning looked up at him, squinting slightly: “… No.”

“That’s good.”

“…”

There were two people here. Why was she the only one being asked?

Liu Xin looked at Yan Xingzhi, and then at Cen Ning. Could it be that they knew each other? But looking at the looks of the two, it didn’t look like it. Besides, it was unlikely that Cen Ning would know such a character.

“Xiao Guang.” Yan Xingzhi turned to glance at the soldier beside Cen Ning, “Cooperate well.”

“Yes!”

The filming officially started, Cen Ning was a little cautious at the beginning because of the presence of Yan Xingzhi. But later, while taking photos, she had to discuss some better angles and postures with the two fighting soldiers, so she became serious as she became busier.

Twenty minutes later, it switched to the next project.

There was also an iron man project on the training ground. This iron man project was not what ordinary people think of it, but a series of obstacle levels specially set up in this unit. From start to finish, it must be completed within a specified time to be completed.

The two soldiers who cooperated with the photography team were getting ready at the starting point, with Cen Ning and Liu Xin on the side, ready to take photos.

Soldiers were soldiers, after all. Although the two of them had to pass obstacles, they were also quick. Cen Ning stood still and raised the camera to capture the scenes. In dynamic photography, capturing such scenes required a lot of skill. Sometimes the shots were not good, or the lenses were blurred, and it was necessary to trouble the two soldiers to go through the obstacles again.

After going back and forth, Cen Ning felt a little guilty when she saw the two soldiers about her age sweating profusely.

Finally, to the last level.

This level required two people to cooperate to climb the vertical iron plate, and then climb down the quagmire to the opposite side.

The first thing Cen Ning saw when she saw the quagmire, thought of using a high-speed shutter to shoot muddy water splashing scenes, jumping, flying, and falling mud. It was the best way to capture every gesture perfectly.

Cen Ning and Liu Xin set up their respective positions. “Get ready, start!”

The two soldiers immediately climbed, they quickly climbed to the top, and both planned to jump down. But at this moment, Cen Ning realized she might not capture the effect she wanted from this angle. Because of the mud in the middle, both she and Liu Xin could only stand on the side. But only then did she realize that this position was wrong and not suitable for the shot.

She could shout to stop and ask them to do it again, but they had already repeated it too many times before, and she felt sorry. So Cen Ning’s brain came up with an idea, and she jumped into the dirty mud with one foot.

But she underestimated the mud. She didn’t expect it to be so sticky and difficult to move. After she landed on both feet, she tried to lift her feet, but she could not.

As a result, Cen Ning fell straight into the mud.

Everything happened between lightning and flint. The two soldiers had already jumped up, and Cen Ning had also fallen. There was a piercing pain in the ankle, but Cen Ning didn’t have time to take care of it, and immediately raised the camera, adjusted the position, and just clicked the shutter a few times.

“Click! Click!”

The two fell to the ground, mud water splashed everywhere, including Cen Ning’s face. However, the amazing thing was that the camera in her hand was well protected, and none of the scene she was supposed to capture was left behind.

“…”

“Ms Cen?!”

“Cen Ning!”

There was a sound of footsteps on the side, followed by a thud of someone jumping into the quagmire of mud and water.

The person who jumped into the quagmire rushed to her side, but Cen Ning didn’t have time to care about this. She quickly flipped through the pictures she had just taken, and her whole body was in a state of revelation. “Did I take those pictures just now?”

“What are you doing?” An angry voice suddenly came from beside her.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” She apologized, but her eyes seemed to be glued to the camera, and they didn’t leave for a moment.

Yan Xingzhi gritted his teeth and took her camera away. “Don’t look at it yet. Come out first.”

After the camera was taken away, Cen Ning realized, “Hey, give me back—”

When she looked up, she realized that the surrounding person was not someone else, but Yan Xingzhi.

Cen Ning was stunned for a moment, then wiped her face with the back of her hand. “The… camera.”

One mud dot covered the entire face with a smear, and Yan Xingzhi looked at her condescendingly. He was angry but found it kind of funny. “You are very capable.”

Cen Ning smiled awkwardly. “It’s a pretty good shot.”

Yan Xingzhi: “… I’m not complimenting you.”

Cen Ning: “Oh.”

There was a moment of embarrassment on the scene. There were originally many soldiers training or resting on the side. Now there was such a commotion, which naturally attracted everyone’s attention.

“Ms Cen, are you alright?” The two soldiers who were being photographed walked over in the mud.

Cen Ning waved her hand. “It’s okay, it’s okay, the few pictures I took just now are very good, no need to retake them.”

“Ah…it’s good that you are fine.”

Cen Ning smiled, stretched out her hand and pressed it in the mud to support herself to stand up, but only when she moved did she realize her ankle was aching.

Her face changed, and she sat back again.

“What?” Yan Xingzhi grabbed her arm.

Cen Ning lowered her head like a child who did something wrong. “It’s nothing… It’s just that my ankle seems to be twisted, eh—”

Her whole person suddenly rose into the air, and the muddy water brought up by both feet splashed others. After Cen Ning stabilized, she looked at Yan Xingzhi who was close to her in shock.

“I… can walk.”

Yan Xingzhi ignored her. “Xiao Guang, hold the camera first, and I’ll take her to the infirmary.”

The soldier named Xiao Guang was stunned for a moment, and it was only after Yan Xingzhi had walked a distance that he shouted, “… Yes.”

After answering, he looked at the other person beside him: “Is that… the deputy battalion?”

The person being asked nodded. “Yes.”

Xiao Guang turned to look at Liu Xin, who was stunned by the mud pool. “Ms Liu, Ms Cen, does she know our deputy camp?”

Liu Xin’s face was also full of shock at the moment. She saw it in her eyes just now. Yan Xingzhi was originally far away, but he quickly ran over after seeing Cen Ning throwing herself into the mud pool.

It wasn’t a big deal. Did he have to stir up so much attention…

“No.” Liu Xin said.

Xiao Guang glanced at his comrade again, and then commented, “The deputy battalion looks freezing, but he is nice.”

The comrades nodded affirmatively. “That’s for sure, to serve the people.”
