What he said and did was because he was worried about her, so he came to take a look. Now that he saw that Cen Ning was still awake and Zhang Ziyi was sound asleep, he felt relieved.
"If you want to stay, just stay." The way of words and deeds, "Go in and sleep, don't drink any more."
Cen Ning came out of his arms, as if she was really afraid that he would beat her up, she nodded obediently: "I'll go in and sleep with Zi Yi."
"Um."
"and you-"
"I'll leave later."
"Oh." Cen Ning glanced at him, then turned and walked into Zhang Ziyi's room.
She was actually dizzy and tired, and her words and deeds made her feel safe outside, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Yan Xingzhi stood among the wine cans for a while when the phone rang.
"Hello."
"Brother Yan..."
"Um."
"Hey, what... how is Zhang Ziyi doing?"
Yan Zhizhi sat down on the sofa: "I was already asleep when I came."
"oh… "
Words and deeds: "Why, don't worry?"
Tang Zheng faltered for a while: "She has always been in a hurry, and I didn't know she would be so sad, but I... how should I say, brother Yan, how old is she younger than me, I have always regarded her as a little ghost since I was a child, and now suddenly Come on like this, I'm so flustered."
He glanced at the door of the room in words and deeds, and seemed to think of something: "How old are you, now you are an adult."
Tang Zheng: "That's what I said, but I won't be able to change it for a while."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Tang Zheng on the other end of the phone scratched his hair irritably: "I don't know either."
"Think about it carefully. If you don't like it, just do it. If you like it..." Yan Zhizhi rested on the armrest of the sofa with one hand, and propped his chin, "If you like it, don't make her sad."
"Brother Yan, you and Cen Ning..."
"how."
"You are always different to Cen Ning, I think you should like her." Tang Zheng tentatively said, "Is it?"
He didn't speak for a long time.
Tang Zheng continued: "Then if you like someone, would you just say so?"
"She's different." There was a gloomy look in his words and deeds, "Zhang Ziyi likes you, but Cen Ning, she likes someone else."
So why did he simply say, she's so courageous, it's no wonder she doesn't scare her away.
Tang Zheng: "Ah... it's the one named Xia Yi, right? Then, what should you do?"
"You still care about me now."
"Don't I think your temperament and temper can only scare people?"
"… roll."
"Cough, then, then I'll hang up first, let Cen Ning tell me what's going on with Zi Yi."
"If you want to know, ask yourself."
"Eh-"
**
Cen Ning stayed with Zhang Ziyi for several days. At first Zhang Ziyi was also very decadent, but she was always strong. After a while, she ate and drank in a hurry, and scolded Tang Zheng from beginning to end.
Later, when the school was about to start, Cen Ning left Zhang Ziyi's house and went back to his own home to pack his luggage.
That afternoon, when Cen Ning was packing his luggage in the small building, Aunt Chen said that she had made something delicious for her, so she went there first.
But she didn't expect that Wei Pinfang had already returned home when she came back. Originally, Wei Pinfang went to learn embroidery, but Cen Ning didn't expect her to come back suddenly.
"Mom, when did you get home?"
Sitting on the sofa, Wei Pinfang suddenly threw a bag of books next to her at her feet: "Tell me what these are first."
Cen Ning looked at the familiar bag under his feet and froze: "This is..."
"This is yours, don't try to deny it." Wei Pinfang was trembling with anger, "You even touch photography?! How many times have I told you the harm of this stuff since I was a child! Look at your dad! Did you listen to it?! "
Cen Ning knew that Wei Pinfang would be angry, so she learned to be sneaky for such a long time. Although she knew that she would be discovered one day, she didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Mom, listen to me, I really like photography—" "Your dad used to say that too! But what happened? We didn't make money, and we ran around every day! Finally, we abandoned our mother and daughter because of it." He died because of his broken dream, what good do you think this thing is!"
Cen Ning clenched his fists: "Dad's death was an accident, it has nothing to do with photography."
"Why doesn't it matter? If he didn't go to Tibet to shoot something, why would he have a car accident on the road!"
Cen Ning's eyes were red: "But, Dad really likes it."
"I like to be able to eat as food. Look at what we have been harmed by him."
"Aren't we living well now? Besides, photography can make money. I made a lot of money this summer vacation. Mom..."
"What did you say?" Wei Pinfang couldn't believe it. "Are you tinkering with things during the summer vacation? Aren't you a tutor? You lied to me?"
Cen Ning: "...I'm just afraid that you won't agree."
"You still know that I will disagree!" Wei Pinfang snapped, "Throw away all these things for me now! And this camera! I asked you to keep it because it was the only thing that person left for you. For the sake of my thoughts, if I had known this would happen, I should have thrown it away!"
"Mom!!" Cen Ning saw Wei Pinfang raised the camera, rushed up and snatched it, "I won't let you lose it, give it back to me!"
Snapped-
After all, Cen Ning was not as fast as Wei Pinfang, Wei Pinfang had already thrown the camera out of the window before she touched it. There was a concrete floor outside, and the camera made a muffled sound when it hit the ground.
All the blood in Cen Ning's body seemed to be congealed at this moment, and her pupils shrank heavily, as if she still didn't want to believe what happened in the last second.
"I'm warning you, Cen Ning, you study hard and walk the right path! If you touch the camera again, I'll—"
"Don't worry about it!!" Without saying a word, Cen Ning suddenly erupted.
She shook off Wei Pinfang's hand holding her wrist, and stared at her viciously: "I don't want you to care."
"What did you say?" Wei Pinfang looked at her in astonishment, she didn't expect that Cen Ning, who was always soft-spoken and cowardly, would resist her like this, she was stunned for a moment.
Cen Ning's eyes were bloodshot, and tears were rolling. But she stubbornly endured it, but she didn't want to let it drip.
She was trembling all over, and she had never hated Wei Pinfang so much.
Wei Pinfang never loved her like other mothers loved their children. She didn't kiss her, hug her, or even hold hands. She always speaks coldly to her, harsh, harsh, and indifferent. This is the kind of maternal love she has enjoyed since she was a child.
But she still didn't hate her, she felt that she was at least a child with a mother, at least in this world, she still had a person connected by blood.
But at this moment, when Wei Pinfang ruthlessly threw out the camera her father left for her, deep hatred surged in her heart.
How precious she is to that camera, it has been with her for so many years, supporting a distant dream.
But the moment it shattered, she suddenly felt that there was nothing left.
Cen Ning ran out of the small building recklessly, rushed to the place where the camera was dropped, and picked it up carefully.
This camera has been used for many years. My father bought it for a lot of money. Although it is a bit outdated now, because she has been carefully protecting it, it can always be used.
But now that it has fallen like this, it is hard to say whether it will be repaired well or not. If it can't be repaired, it not only means that she lost the camera, but also means that she can't keep what her father left her.
Cen Ning ran out of the house with a camera in despair.
When Aunt Chen came back from a trip, she happened to see her: "Ning Ning, where are you going so late?"
Cen Ning hurriedly nodded to her, and left without saying a word.
At dinner time, Yan's family was preparing to eat.
"Is Ningning at home? Have you eaten yet?" Yan Guofeng asked.
Aunt Chen: "I saw her go out just now, hey child, she had a fight with Pinfang."
Words and deeds paused the hand holding the chopsticks, only to hear Aunt Chen continue: "Just now I went over to look, and Pinfang was angry, saying that the child secretly learned photography..."
Xu Wanying: "Photography?"
"That's right, but because of her husband and his aversion to photography, Pinfang's camera was smashed."
Xu Wanying: "If the kid really likes it, it doesn't matter if he learns it. Why did he even smash the camera?"
Aunt Chen: "It can be seen that the previous incidents have had a profound impact... Anyway, now I am angry, saying that Ningning did this without telling her."
Yan Guofeng: "Where did Ningning go?"
"I don't know that."
Yan Guofeng: "All right, make a phone call."
In fact, Yan Guofeng stood up without saying words or deeds, and he took the car keys casually: "I'll go find her."
Aunt Chen: "Come back early and bring Ningning back for dinner. It's getting dark and don't run around."
"Um."
After going out, he made a phone call while walking towards the garage, but he made several calls but Cen Ning didn't answer.
Distraught, he drove out of the compound quickly in words and deeds.
On the other side, Cen Ning was sitting in a repair shop, handing over the camera in his hand to the people in the shop. She has gone to several stores, but has not received a satisfactory answer.
"Can it be fixed?"
"Hiss... let me take a look."
Cen Ning waited expectantly.
"Oh, little girl, is this a machine from many years ago?"
"right."
"It's not easy to repair this part if it's broken, and you can see that the lens has been damaged, and the maintenance cost is very high. It's better to buy a new one."
The answer was the same as that of the previous shops, and Cen Ning insisted: "I want to fix it, do you have a solution?"
"But even if you fix it, it won't be very practical anymore, and it's easy to break." The store said, "Little girl, I don't want to lie to you, so let me tell you the truth, it's all broken like this. If I were you, I would definitely It will not be repaired."
"But it's important to me."
"this-"
"Do you do your best." Cen Ning paled, "I brought the money."
The shopkeeper couldn't laugh or cry: "It's not about the money... Hey, okay, okay, let me take a look for you, just sit there and wait a while."
"Hmm! Thank you!"
Cen Ning sat down on the chair, because the camera breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt a dull pain in her heart. She remembered Wei Pinfang's disgusted look before, and covered her face sadly.
She had never quarreled with Wei Pinfang before, she didn't want to, and she didn't dare.
This incident happened today, and she still can't help but be dazed.
She really felt so wronged, she didn't understand why her mother smashed the camera without knowing anything, it made her feel more uncomfortable than beating her and scolding her directly.
"Little girl."
Cen Ning got up: "How is it?"
"I'll try my best to fix it for you, but you have to come back to pick it up in a few days. Leave a number and I'll call you when it's ready."
"good!"
After leaving the number and paying, Cen Ning walked out of the store.
The maintenance fee is really high, and she has confessed all her part-time salary. Although it is a pity, she has no regrets.
It was already dark, and Cen Ning suddenly didn't know what to do.
Taking out his mobile phone, he wanted to make a call to Zhang Ziyi, but someone else called. When she made the payment just now, she saw the row of missed calls, but she didn't call back.
At this time, looking at the phone ringing again, Cen Ning was stunned, and did not answer it for a long time.
"Cen Ning." Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away. The voice was deep and angry.
When Cen Ning turned his head to look, he did see an angry face.
Majesty, solemnity, coldness... She was most afraid of this man's expression.
But this time, she didn't feel afraid, but her nose was so sore, as if she could tear her eyes in the blink of an eye.
"What's the matter with you!" Yan Xingzhi stepped forward and grabbed her cell phone, "You won't answer my call?"
Cen Ning's body seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and the cotton blocked her blood vessels, making it difficult for her to breathe: "I'm afraid, you are at home. I... I don't want to hear my mother talk."
"So you think she asked me to call you?"
Cen Ning nodded.
"You—" The words and deeds were terribly angry, but seeing her pitiful appearance, she couldn't swear, and after a long stalemate, she just said, "Do you know that you will make others worry that you didn't see it so late? "
Cen Ning lowered his head: "I'll fix the camera..."
"I know."
So he went to every possible camera repair shop along the way, and found this all the way.
Cen Ning: "But I don't know if it can be repaired. They said that if it is repaired, it will not go back to the way it was before. This is my father's thing... how can my mother do this, she can't do this..."
I have endured all the way, I have been angry all the way, now seeing the words and deeds, I don't know why, I can't bear anything.
The tears that had been held back for a long time fell down, and fell to the ground without even sliding over her cheeks. Cen Ning raised her hand to wipe it off, but after wiping it off again, she couldn't stop herself.
"I'm sorry..." She didn't want to cry.
"Don't wipe it." Words and deeds frowned, and took her hand, she rubbed so hard that her face was flushed red.
His words and deeds were so distressed that he was depressed, and pressed the back of her head with his right hand, letting her lean on his chest.
I can't see her cry, I can't see her.
But who would have thought that she cried even harder, not crying, but her tears were like broken embankments, and her clothes were quickly wet.
Unable to bear the words and deeds, he raised his hand and touched her head, coaxing: "The camera will be repaired."
Cen Ning grabbed the clothes around his waist tightly with both hands, and rubbed his face.
Words and deeds can't be persuaded, so I let her cry. When she couldn't cry anymore, he reached out to support her face, and wiped away the wet tears with his fingertips.
"The snot and tears are all on my clothes, are you happy?"
Cen Ning looked at him with red eyes: "..."
Words and deeds twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't worry, I'm here."
