If The Moon Won’t Hold You

yday just to fight your own people?!”

Yan Xingzhi’s eyes became colder and colder: “My own people? You dared not say such a thing when Mum was alive.”

Yan Su: “You!”

“Shut up, Yan Xingzhi.” Yan Guofeng frowned and turned to Xu Nanru, “Nanru, you tell us what happened?”

Xu Nanru’s tone was flat, as if he was not the one who had been fighting just now: “It’s nothing, he said it too, we just can’t stand each other.”

“You…you two brats!”

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

There was a moment of silence.
Cen Ning stood on the side, watching Yan Xingzhi and Xu Nanru walk away under the angry glares of the elders, going back into their own rooms.

Their attitudes made Yan Guofeng’s mood even worse.

“They’re rioting! Really rioting!” Yan Guofeng sat on the sofa, breathing heavily, “Let them go, let them go, no need to call them for dinner! Let’s just take care of ourselves!”

……

A New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten tastelessly.
Everyone pretended that things were going well, calling on the juniors to give a toast to Yan Guofeng, but everyone knew in their hearts that Yan Guofeng didn’t have much interest because of his two grandsons.

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

Yan Guofeng didn’t let anyone give food to the two boys who had fought, so no one dared to say anything.

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

She had received some information from Aunt Chen about the situation, Yan Xingzhi and Xu Nanru had started fighting because of Xu Wanying.
It was probably because Yan Xingzhi had acted cold and indifferent to Xu Wanying and had said a few things that Xu Nanru didn’t like to hear, so the two ridiculed each other, and then started fighting once they got into a disagreement.

To be honest, Yan Xingzhi always had an especially mature image in Cen Ning’s eyes, so his sudden juvenile temperament and actions were beyond her expectations.

Maybe, no matter how old you were, you would always be a child in front of your parents.

“Auntie Chen.”

“Oh, Ningning, you came just at the right time.” Aunt Chen pulled her into the kitchen, “Look, it’s so late, Yan Xingzhi still hasn’t eaten yet, he must be famished.
Old Master dotes you, so you can go send him something to eat.
Even if you are discovered, he won’t bear to scold you.”

“Oh, okay.” Cen Ning just happened to be anxiously trying to find a reason to see Yan Xingzhi.

“Great.” Aunt Chen said while putting some food on a plate while muttering, “I just saw Wanying send some food to Nanru, ah, he’s indeed her real son…”

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

“What do you want them for? Xingzhi doesn’t like to eat them.”

“No… his face was a little bit, swollen.”

“Oh! Look at me, I forgot about that.” Aunt Chen started to busily boil the eggs, “Wait a bit, it will be ready soon.”

“Okay.”

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 for a second and pressed down on the doorknob lightly.

There was no light in the room.
Cen Ning looked around, but found that Yan Xinzhi was not in his room.
She walked in and put the dinner plate on the study desk.

“Where is he…”

The room was very quiet, and Cen Ning pressed the light switch, only to discover now that the balcony had not been closed shut properly.
When she stepped forward, she saw a person standing outside on the balcony.

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

“…………”

“What are you doing here?” Yan Xinzhi was leaning against the railing, a cigarette in his right hand.

Cen Ning: “…I, came to give you food.”

“No need, take it away.”

“But you haven’t, you haven’t eaten yet.”

“I’m not hungry.”

“But you are injured.”

Yan Xingzhi frowned slightly and didn’t 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 slowly and with emphasis: “You, are, hurt.”

Yan Xingzhi: “……”

Cen Ning bit her lip, and she suddenly felt both angry and wronged within her heart.
It was the first time they had talked in so many days, but how could he be so withdrawn? Besides, how could he not care about his body at all?

It was probably because she was in a fit of rage, Cen Ning did the most daring thing since arriving at the Yan family.
Almost in a daze, she stepped forward and snatched the cigarette from his hand, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out with one foot.

“……”

“…………”

Yan Xingzhi: “You—”

“You wait here!”

Cen Ning did not give time for Yan Xingzhi to react and turned around to go inside the room.
When she came out again, she held a warm boiled egg in the palm of one hand.

“What are you doing?” Yan Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit of curiosity regarding Cen Ning’s rare boldness.

But Cen Ning did not answer him, instead, she used her other hand to grab Yan Xingzhi’s collar, and pulled it down forcefully.

Yan Xingzhi was caught off guard, and this little shortie managed to make him bend over.
During this moment of surprise, the warm egg was rubbed against the corner of his mouth.

“Hiss—”

The sound of Yan Xingzhi hissing in pain pulled Cen Ning back from her moment of enthusiasm.
She was taken aback, her eyes trembling in panic.

“Does it, does it hurt?”

This pain was nothing for Yan Xingzhi.

The dark night shrouded them, and the winter season in the capital was so cold that it made one’s heart chill, but at this moment, looking at the little girl whose nose was red from the cold Yan Xingzhi blurted out for some reason.

“It hurts.”

The author has something to say:

No matter what the situation is, let’s say it hurts first!

Xu Nanru: You will thank me in the future.
