If The Moon Won’t Hold You

Chapter 49.1: Moonlight

Yan Xingyao had been eating very well in the past six months. Because of the upcoming college entrance examination, his family was very concerned about his health, and they were afraid that he would become skinny after studying all night.

But the result was that Yan Xingyao had gained ten catties during this time.

A boy like him, who had strong pride, must not be able to bear it when he found that his weight kept going up. Therefore, during the holiday period, he got up early every day to go for a run with Yan Xingzhi.

One day, Cen Ning also woke up very early. When she just left the small courtyard, she saw Yan Xingzhi and Yan Xingyao coming out of the house.

In frigid winter, the two were wearing sportswear, one black and the other grey. One was calm and composed, the other trembling.

Cen Ning: “Are you two going for a run?”

Yan Xingyao folded his arms, and when he spoke, he was indignant. “Of course, who is like you? You stay at home every day. I’m telling you, if you don’t exercise well, you will get fat.”

Cen Ning shook her head. “I’m different from you, I can’t get fat from eating.”

Yan Xingzhi laughed. “You can run in such clothes?”

Cen Ning was a little embarrassed. “Then I’ll walk.”

Yan Xingzhi thought that walking was also good, so he nodded and reached out to hold her hand.

But he didn’t expect Cen Ning to dodge all of a sudden.

Yan Xingzhi slightly raised his brows, and Cen Ning smiled coyly. “He is in front of us.”

“So?”

“So let’s go quickly, okay, it’s so cold.” Cen Ning pretended to be calm, adjusted her collar, and hurried forward.

Looking at her back, Yan Xingzhi shook his head helplessly.

This girl’s face was as thin as ever (TLN: gets embarrassed easily).

Later, when Yan Xingzhi and Yan Xingyao were running, Cen Ning walked along the track. They lapped her several times, and after running for more than forty minutes, they stopped by the sports equipment.

After running a few laps, Yan Xingzhi didn’t even pant. Seeing that Yan Xingyao had finished stretching, he ordered, “3 sets of push-ups, 30 in each set.”

“What??”

Yan Xingzhi: “You can’t do 30?”

Yan Xingyao was awkward for a while. “I, I can.”

Yan Xingyao bent down, corrected his posture and started to do push-ups.

It was okay at first, but after doing more than a dozen, his face started getting red. Soon after, the push-ups became slower and slower, and the posture was less than standard.

Yan Xingzhi was also doing push-ups beside him. Yan Xingyao was stimulated by his calm and efficient posture, so he simply lay on the ground and remained motionless.

Yan Xingzhi: “You can only do 20?”

“Brother, I can’t compare with you. If I do 20 normally, it’s equivalent to doing 20 with weight!”

Yan Xingzhi was cold. “Even with weight, I’m not like you.”

Yan Xingyao: “…I don’t believe it.”

“Hm?”

“You try with some additional weights then.”

“Where are there any weights here?”

Yan Xingyao looked around, and finally, his eyes fell on Cen Ning who was standing by the side, watching the excitement. “There are ready-made ones, Cen Ning, come here, sit on my brother!”

Cen Ning stared at him: “…”

Yan Xingyao: “Hurry up, hurry up!”

Cen Ning shook her head. “I, I’m not heavy!”

Yan Xingyao clicked his tongue. “No matter how light you are, at the least, you must weigh eight or ninety catties! Hurry up and crush him to death.”

Cen Ning: “…”

Yan Xingzhi smiled, and looked back at Cen Ning. “Come here.”

He was going to do it.

Cen Ning waved her hands, resisting in every way.

Yan Xingzhi: “Why, do you really think you can crush me to death?”

Cen Ning’s face became hot, and she said in a low voice, “I’m not that heavy.”

“Then come here.”

“……Oh.”

The cold wind blew, and there was a small area of people doing morning training not far away.

Cen Ning shrank her neck and walked to Yan Xingzhi’s side.

“Where do I sit?”

Supporting his body Yan Xingzhi turned to look at her. “Wherever.”

Cen Ning: “…”

There is a little smile in the eyes of Yan Xingzhi. “On my back.”

“Okay.”

Cen Ning nodded and stretched out her hand to press his back, which was firm and smooth.

Cen Ning was a little embarrassed. She didn’t dare to lift her feet after sitting on his back, she always felt that if she lifted her feet, she could collapse him.

Yan Xingyao was ready, and said loudly, “We’ll start when I shout to three, let’s see who gives up first.”

Yan Xingzhi sneered. “Whatever.”

Yan Xingyao looked back. “Hey, Cen Ning! Don’t cheat. Lift your feet!”

Cen Ning: “…”

This guy is so boring… Why does Xingzhi Gege cooperate with him in this kind of competition?

Cen Ning was full of contempt, but since Yan Xingzhi agreed, she had no choice but to lift her feet carefully.

After sitting for a few seconds, Cen Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Yan Xingzhi’s body was still stable.

“1, 2, 3—”

After shouting 3, Yan Xingzhi’s body moved down. Cen Ning followed him and was unstable. She quickly grabbed onto Yan Xingzhi’s shoulder.

“Xingzhi Gege…”

“Mhm?”

“Am I heavy?”

Yan Xingzhi did one more push-up. “You’re not heavy.”
