If The Moon Won’t Hold You

till you go train at the troops, then you will know if being a filthy-rich businessman is good.”

……

The two bantered here and there, Yan Xingzhi was too lazy to talk to them while sitting in the passenger seat.

The car was still driving forward.
At this moment, a girl with a ponytail and long slender legs appeared in front of him, and she was even wearing the uniform of the school he had once attended.

“There’s somebody there, pay attention.” Yan Xingzhi said to Xin Zechuan.

Xin Zechuan replied with an ‘okay’, and blew his horn twice.
As such, Yan Xingzhi saw the girl walking to the side, and then turning back her head.

The car passed by, and he glanced sideways inadvertently.
It was a young girl, and a little…inexplicably familiar.

Although the speed of the car was not fast, Yan Xingzhi only reacted when the car had driven around 10 kilometers away.

“Zechun, reverse the car.”

Xin Zechuan stepped on the brakes, and after stepping on it, he asked with hindsight, “What’s up?”

Yan Xingzhi glanced at the rearview mirror, squinted slightly, and repeated: “Reverse the car.”

Xin Zechuan still didn’t know what situation was, but his body had already reacted first.
He and Tang Zheng had been friends with Yan Xingzhi since they were little.
They were obviously all the same age, but between the three of them, Yan Xingzhi always held the position as the leader, so the two of them always believed in his words completely.

The car slowly reversed back, Cen Ning stood there, watching the rear of the car getting closer and closer to her.

After a while, the door of the passenger seat opened, and a man in a black coat got out of the car.
He stood by the car and stared for a few seconds, seemingly uncertain.

“Cen Ning?”

The familiar voice mingled with the dry cold wind directly hit her heart, Cen Ning stared at the person in front of her stiffly, her mind suddenly going blank.

She hadn’t seen him for two years already, he had changed a little.

In the past, though he was really indifferent, he still carried some youthful inexperience, but now, he wore a coat and army boots… his slender figure became more upright and handsome.

His eyebrows were cold and sharp, and his gaze was steady and penetrating.
His every movement was that of a man, not a boy.

Cen Ning took a step back unconsciously, and squeezed her fingers, not knowing what to do.

Yan Xingzhi’s gaze lightly moved down to see her intermingled hands; he knew that she would do this everytime she was nervous.

“You’ve grown taller.” Yan Xingzhi moved forward, and looked down upon her.　　 

Cen Ning was not be able to say anything at this time, she tried to calm herself down: “Xing, Xingzhi Gege.”

D*mn, she had stopped stammering a long time ago, why did she screw up at such a critical moment!

“Oh, who is this, my goodness, little girl?” Tang Zheng wore the same military uniform as Yan Xingzhi with a dark green long coat wrapped around him.
He held his arms and slightly bent over to look at Cen Ning’s face, “How come you have grown into someone else after not seeing you for a period of time?”

Tang Zheng straightened up and used his fingers to count the days: “Huh? A girl really does change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood.”

Yan Xingzhi looked at him sideways and motioned for him to be quiet, but Tang Zheng didn’t have the self-consciousness to do so, and said to himself: “She sure looks charming, look at how cute this little face, so pale and tender, Oh, Brother Yan, your little wifey –– Oh!”

Yan Xingzhi moved his elbow back to hit him, and the pain caused Tang Zheng to bend down suddenly.

“Fu, f*ck, you are ruthless.”

Xin Zechuan came over just in time to take Tang Zheng away: “Hey, can you talk less, did you only pick up dung in the army, how come you haven’t improved at all?”

“What have I done wrong?”

“The little girl has grown up so much, she’s sensible now, yet you still say those kinds of words, do you think everyone has the same thick skin as you?”

……

Tang Zheng and Xin Zechuan left while pulling at each other, but their words were still heard completely by Cen Ning.

Cen Ning’s face flushed, and the three words “little wifey” were really hard to digest.
At this time, she also suddenly remembered what she had said in front of Yan Xingzhi three years ago: They say I am your wife, can you back me up?

At the time, she didn’t feel anything when she had said those words aloud, but thinking about it now, she really wanted to find a hole to bury herself in, and then throw in some fire to cook her up; all her troubles would be solved.

“Why are you here?” Yan Xingzhi spoke again indifferently, unaffected by Tang Zheng.

Cen Ning: “I, I went to give something to Aunt Liu, now I am going back home.”

“Mhm.”

“What about you?” Cen Ning realised her tone was a little eager after asking, so she rubbed the toe of her shoe against the ground with a little embarrassment, “I didn’t hear Grandpa Yan say that you will be back today.”

“My matters were completed early, so I came back, they don’t know yet.” He glanced at her again, frowning slightly, “The temperature is so low, isn’t it cold for you to wear so little?”

Cold, how couldn’t it be cold? But in order to be more beautiful, she especially selected the thinnest stockings that closely matched her skin tone.

But it really made Cen Ning a little embarrassed after being asked in such a way, she subconsciously pulled the skirt down, “I, I thought I’d go back soon, so it would be fine.”

“Get in the car.” Seeing her shiver, Yan Xingzhi walked to the side of the car and opened the door for her.

Cen Ning looked up at him, dumbfounded.

Yan Xingzhi raised his brows slightly: “Not getting on?”

“Ah? I am!”

Cen Ning returned to her senses and quickly trotted to the side of the car.
She passed by him, raising her foot and stepping up to get in, and after sitting down, she pulled the skirt down again.

Yan Xingzhi attentively noticed all of her small actions.
He had also been in that high school, so after slightly paying attention, he could tell that the length of her school uniform skirt had probably been altered.

Yan Xingzhi smiled lightly.

She had indeed grown up, she now had the desire to be beautiful.
