If The Moon Won’t Hold You

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: “…”
