If The Moon Won’t Hold You

Chapter 34.1: Favour

One tall and one short, the two stood in front of some stores.

When someone passed by, they would look back and glance at the two of them. After all, the man was well-dressed and handsome, and there was a young girl weeping in his arms.

That picture, to say, was a bit moving.

“Can you go home after crying?”

Cen Ning sniffed: “I don’t want to go home…”

Yan Xingzhi didn’t speak, Cen Ning said again, “I wanted to go find Ziyi just now.”

“Zhang Ziyi is also in the compound.”

Cen Ning: “…”

After Yan Xingzhi called home and told his family about Cen Ning’s matter, he turned around and said, “You’re probably hungry, call for takeout.”

Cen Ning looked at him anxiously: “Is my mother…was she there just now?”

“Yes.”

“Did she say anything?”

“No, but Grandpa said she was worried about you.”

Cen Ning snorted, and turned her head away in embarrassment and annoyance.

Yan Xingzhi saw her expression and knew that this matter affected her too much and it could not be resolved in a short amount of time.

“Let’s eat.”

How could Cen Ning eat now? She shook her head and replied, “I’m not hungry.”

Yan Xingzhi frowned: “I’m hungry, I came out to find you and didn’t get to eat anything.”

Cen Ning: “…Oh.”

“Eat with me.”

Cen Ning didn’t dare to say anything else at this time, and nodded obediently when he looked at her. Yan Xingzhi’s dissatisfaction from her refusal to eat faded away.

The hotel delivery speed was fast, but it was already ten o’clock by the time the two of them finished dinner.

“Are you going to class tomorrow?”

Cen Ning put down her chopsticks: “No class tomorrow, but I have to report to school.”

“Then you go to rest early. Your luggage will be sent to school for you tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Cen Ning got up and walked towards the room. After a few steps, she turned around and asked, “Xingzhi Gege, are you leaving then?”

Yan Xingzhi leaned against the table, and raised his eyelids when he heard her. He glanced at her: “Don’t want me to go?”

Cen Ning’s heart thumped, and her ears quickly heated up. When he said these words, he tightened his throat slightly. His voice seemed to be floating in sand, deep and magnetic, inexplicably seductive.

She suddenly didn’t know how to answer.

Yan Xingzhi looked at her evading eyes, a little embarrassed, and smiled lightly: “Go in and sleep, I’ll sit for a while and leave.”

Cen Ning responded and quickly turned around and entered the room.

Cen Ning took a shower, put on the nightgown from the hotel, and lay in bed to sleep.

But she didn’t fall asleep quickly. Although she was very tired, what happened today made her mind confused and she couldn’t sleep peacefully. And… Cen Ning was really regretful and ashamed when she remembered how she cried so bitterly in front of Yan Xingzhi not too long ago.

The look on her face full of tears must have been ugly.

“Ah… just bear it more, why cry.” Cen Ning covered her eyes with her hands and threw herself against the pillow.

More than half an hour passed, and she still couldn’t fall asleep. So she just got up, took out her phone and glanced at it.

The phone had shut off after all her battery ran out.

She got out of bed and walked lightly. At this time, Yan Xingzhi should have already left.

When Cen Ning arrived in the living room, she really didn’t see Yan Xingzhi. She just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly found a person lying on the sofa.

Cen Ning: “…”

One of Yan Xingzhi’s hands was under his head, and the other hand rested on his abdomen, he looked quite leisurely.

There was a fallen blanket on the ground, so Cen Ning walked over completely silent. She squatted down next to him, and whispered his name.

But he didn’t wake up.

Cen Ning pursed her lips and suddenly remembered that there was a similar scene a few years back. It was Xin Zechuan’s birthday at that time, and he had drunk too much and fallen asleep in the room. She had also squatted beside him like that, and confusingly kissed him.

She had forgotten the touch of kissing him, but the thrilling feeling at that time had always existed in the back of her mind.

Cen Ning looked at his handsome brows and her heart felt sour.

He always appeared when she was helpless and vulnerable, helping her, comforting her, and making her no longer worry and fear.

She had already decided to forget this person, but he kept letting her see him, which made her feel extremely entangled…

“How much longer are you going to stare, don’t plan to sleep?” Suddenly, the person who was still sleeping in front of her opened his eyes and looked at her.

Cen Ning was sinking into a quagmire of her own thoughts when she was suddenly interrupted and she sat back in fright.

But this time, Yan Xingzhi reacted quickly and supported her. He pressed one hand behind her head to prevent her from hitting the corner of the coffee table behind her, and then pulled back hard. Approaching suddenly, no one expected that the distance between the two was only a few centimeters.

Cen Ning trembled with a start, her whole body froze.

At such a close distance, she clearly saw his eyes as dark as night. Focused, clear, nervous… There was a little light reflected in it, which seemed to be able to absorb her whole.

“I… I thought you fell asleep.” Cen Ning seemed to move back a little, but found that the hand behind her head was locked in place, and she couldn’t move.

“Gege?”

Yan Xingzhi paused, and it seemed that he came back to his senses.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the strength in his hands loosened.

Cen Ning stood up from the ground, her heart beating like a drum.

“Why did you come out?” Yan Xingzhi lowered his eyes, his voice a little hoarse.

Cen Ning rubbed the tip of her nose a little embarrassedly: “No… just, I can’t sleep so I just wanted to walk around, I didn’t expect you to still be here.”

Yan Xingzhi tilted his head and glanced at her, only then did he realize that Cen Ning was wearing a nightgown from the hotel. which wrapped around the top of her body tightly, and her two small legs were exposed under the nightgown.
