If The Moon Won’t Hold You

“Cen Ning is here.” Hao Jie was adjusting the camera in the shooting room.
“Then you and Liu Xin go to the restaurant and bring breakfast.
After breakfast, we can leave.”

“Okay.” Cen Ning put down her bag and hurriedly followed Liu Xin’s footsteps.

When they were heading back, Liu Xin suddenly asked strangely, “I heard you are only a freshman in college.”

Cen Ning nodded.
“Yes.”

“You were recruited in your freshman year? What’s your skill level?”

Cen Ning: “… I just submitted my resume and works.”

Liu Xin smiled strangely.
“Oh really, if you didn’t say, I would’ve thought you were stuffed by someone.”

Cen Ning: “…”

Stuffed in as a little assistant? Who was so immoral?

After eating breakfast, the entire team set off in a mighty manner.
This time, their filming would last for two days, and they will spend one night at that location.

“This time we’re going to shoot in a special place.
Don’t run around and follow my orders.” Hao Jie explained on the way.

Liu Xin: “Mr Hao, where are we going today?”

“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that today’s photoshoot is an army propaganda photo? This task is very important.
The superiors are watching it.
You all better be quick and neat.”

“Then are we going to sleep in the camp dormitory tonight?”

“Yes.”

“Ah… I can see a lot of army brothers.”

Hao Jie glanced at her: “You won’t be able to see much, just do your job well.”

Liu Xin sneered: “Okay.”

Cen Ning didn’t speak, she just looked out the window silently.

She also received the notification yesterday, so she knew what the task was for today.
To be honest, when she heard it, her heart thumped, but after considering it, she felt it wouldn’t be so coincidental.
Although Yan Xingzhi was also in the army, he couldn’t be in the same battalion.

Even if it was the same battalion… she may not even see him.

After driving for more than an hour, the car finally arrived at the troop grounds.
After arriving at the gate, a special person came to greet them.

“Hello, the people above sent me to receive comrades.
Shall I take you to the dormitory first?”

Hao Jie: “That’s fine, sorry to trouble you.”

“No trouble, no trouble.”

The group of people first went to the dormitory to put down their luggage and then changed into the camouflage uniforms brought by the team according to the regulations.

Cen Ning only wore these kinds of clothes during the school’s military training: a camouflage shirt, camouflage pants, and a pair of black combat boots.
When ordinary people wore it, it seemed like they were soldiers.
However, Cen Ning was skinny, and when she wore it, it just seemed empty, and she did not look like a soldier.

“The next thing is mealtime.
We will put all the equipment in the cafeteria and take pictures.” The camera team assembled downstairs, and Hao Jie assigned tasks to everyone one by one.

After everything was ready, everyone went to the cafeteria with their equipment.

At twelve noon, the soldiers gathered outside and walked into the cafeteria in an orderly manner.

Step neatly, salute, take off your hat, and sit down.
Every step was like a depiction and reproduction, and it was exactly the same.

Cen Ning has seen soldiers training since she was a child, so she wasn’t too surprised by this.
But Liu Xin and others were shocked when they saw this scene up close.

At the beginning of the lunch, the quiet cafeteria finally became lively, but probably because their cameras were on, the soldiers who were closer were a little cautious.
Hao Jie frowned after taking a few shots.

“Cen Ning, talk to those guys in the front row, take it easy, and act like we don’t exist.”

Cen Ning secretly slandered.
How could it be said that they don’t exist?

But she still went over obediently.

“Hello.” Cen Ning didn’t know what to call them, so she just skipped it, “Everyone, relax, just…don’t care about the camera.”

There were only a minority of such soft and white girls in the army, and a few young soldiers couldn’t help but secretly glance at her.

One more lively person joked, “It’s the first time someone is taking pictures of us.
We are quite embarrassed.
If we are on camera, do we need to put on makeup or something?”

Cen Ning waved her hand quickly.
“No, no, we want to shoot the originality, um… If there is a problem, it will be edited later.”

“Oh, so that’s the case.
Hey female comrade, are you a photographer too?”

“Me? I’m not one yet.
I’m an assistant.”

“Oh, then—” The soldier was about to say something, but suddenly stopped and stood up quickly.

The soldiers that Cen Ning was speaking to at the table all suddenly stood up and saluted.

Cen Ning: “???”

At this time, Hao Jie, who was not far away, also called for her, “Cen Ning, you can come back.”

Cen Ning regained her senses and was about to trot back.
However, when she turned around, she slammed into a wall of flesh, and her forehead hit some part of their clothes.
Cen Ning took a step back and almost fell.

But fortunately, the person in front of her stretched out his hand to grab her arm…

Everything was between lightning and flint.
Cen Ning raised her eyes in amazement, only to see a pair of cold and sharp eyes staring at her under the brim of his cap.
Cen Ning was slightly stunned.
She was about to open her mouth to call out Xingzhi Gege, but then realized it would not be suitable in the place, so she swallowed her words.

In the end, she could only say two words after opening her mouth: “… Thank you.”

“Pay attention to safety.” Yan Xingzhi quickly released her arm, and he took a step back.
Then glanced at the person next to him, who immediately said, “Report to the deputy battalion.
These people are the ones I mentioned before, comrades coming to shoot army propaganda photos.”

Yan Xingzhi nodded, with a standard and serious “inspection” expression on his face.
He looked at Cen Ning, raised his hand and saluted.
“Hard work.”

It was as if he didn’t know her at all.
Cen Ning hesitated for a while, and she followed his example, raised her left hand, and gestured.
“No, it’s easy work.”

Yan Xingzhi had a solemn expression on his face.
He nodded slightly and walked past her.

Cen Ning straightened her back and breathed a sigh of relief.

But she heard a smile in the words of the person who brushed past her, in a very shallow and light voice that only she could hear.
“Ningning, it’s the right hand.”

Cen Ning: “…”
