If The Moon Won’t Hold You

Chapter 71: ending

Views:

Everyone in the Yan family soon learned that Cen Ning was going to start preparing for pregnancy, and in the next week, Aunt Chen and Xu Wanying began to prepare various nutritional supplements for her. Daily ration of fruit, folic acid, and supplements for strengthening the body...

In short, the lineup is very large.

In the living room, Cen Ning and Yi Xi were sitting together, watching TV and eating fruit.

"Ningning, come here quickly, take this medicine first." Aunt Chen's voice came from the distant kitchen.

Cen Ning immediately turned bitter: "Here we come."

After answering, he turned around and patted Yi Xi: "It's you, I just mentioned to you that I was going to have a baby, but you actually notified everyone that Aunt Chen is now—"

Yi Xi said embarrassingly: "Oh, I just said that to Aunt Chen casually, besides, this matter of yours is so important, you have to be well prepared."

Cen Ning: "But that tonic is really hard to drink."

Yi Xi took her shoulders: "Xiao Ningning, you have to drink even if it's bad, you were too busy with work and consumed too much, and you're still skinny... Tsk, bear with it."

Yi Xi laughed while persuading her, with an attitude of watching the excitement of "it's none of your business". Cen Ning glared at her, and got up with a droopy face.

In fact, this tonic is not a medicine, but a soup specially prepared by a nutritionist. There are a lot of factors that the body needs, everything is good, but it is very bitter.

"Drink it while it's hot."

"OK, got it."

Aunt Chen turned around and went back to the kitchen. Cen Ning took a sip with a spoon: "Um... so bitter."

When Yan Xingzhi walked over, he happened to see Cen Ning whose facial features were all wrinkled together. He sat down beside her and glanced at the contents of the bowl: "Is it really that bitter?"

"It's so bitter." Cen Ning looked at his words and deeds pitifully, "It's hard to drink."

Words and deeds are also distressed: "This thing is specially prepared by a nutritionist, it is good for your health."

"But in fact, you don't need to drink, right? You see, Yi Xi, she didn't drink this before."

"That's what it says..."

"You think so too, right?!" Cen Ning saw the needle, "Then help me drink it, hurry up!"

Cen Ning pushed the bowl in front of him very quickly, and glanced at her between words and deeds, his eyes restrained.

Cen Ning curled his lips and rubbed against him: "Brother Xingzhi..."

Words and deeds have nothing to do with Cen Ning's coquettish behavior. Once she shows weakness, he can only continue. So he cleared his throat, glanced around, and said softly, "This is not an example."

Cen Ning nodded like a pounding garlic: "Yeah!"

Words and deeds picked up the bowl and took a sip, the soup from the tip of the tongue to the end of the tongue was really bitter.

"Is it hard to drink?"

Frowning in words and deeds: "Fortunately..."

Cen Ning: "Is it okay? Would you like to try again?"

Words and deeds: "..."

Picking up the bowl, just as she was about to let her take another sip, a surprised and exaggerated voice suddenly came from beside her: "What are you eating? Mr. Yan! Why does this black thing in your hand look so much like Cen Ning's?" Take tonic."

The corners of his brows twitched slightly, his expression a little embarrassed.

And Cen Ning didn't have time to be embarrassed, he got up and threw himself on Yi Xi's side and choked her mouth: "Shhh!"

Yi Xi: "Wooooow & %..."

Cen Ning looked flustered: "Hush your voice!"

But it was obviously too late for her remedial measures. Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound. She looked at Cen Ning, and then at the words and deeds with the bowl, and she understood it all at once.

"Oh, what are you doing, put it down."

He coughed softly: "Aunt Chen, it's actually..."

"This is not for you to drink, what are you drinking!"

Cen Ning was reprimanded for his words and deeds, and quickly came out to explain: "Aunt Chen, it's because the medicine is too bitter, I..."

"She said that the medicine is too bitter and I don't quite believe it, so I just tasted it." Words and deeds continued.

Cen Ning glanced at him, saw the seriousness of his words and deeds, and nodded accordingly.

Aunt Chen looked helpless: "How old is this curiosity? This medicine is bitter. Put it down, don't drink Cen Ning's stuff, what kind of talk is that?"

Words and deeds: "..."

"What Aunt Chen said is true." Cen Ning walked back to the table, took the bowl in Yanzhizhi's hand and drank it in one gulp, "I shouldn't really let him taste it."

The words closed, the hand under the table was pulled by words and deeds and squeezed.

Aunt Chen: "You guys, it's really..."

Yi Xi who "came into trouble" sneaked out of the restaurant in despair while no one was paying attention to her. But before he reached the living room, he was caught by Xu Nanru, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the room, go back to the room."

Xu Nanru: "What's wrong?"

Yi Xi looked like she wanted to laugh but tried her best to hold back: "I reported your brother for secretly helping Cen Ning drink medicine just now, and now they are being nagged by Aunt Chen."

Xu Nanru shook his head and knocked her on the head: "You are messing around again."

"This isn't nonsense, I'm doing it for their own good." Yi Xi said while pulling Xu Nanru upstairs, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go back to the house, I will be attacked when they come out."

In the end, Cen Ning still had to obediently drink the medicine, but in the next few days, every time he said and acted, he would prepare her favorite toffee to relieve her suffering. Once, I stuffed a few candies in my pocket and forgot to take them all the way to the army. Later, when the army was changing clothes, the toffee fell out of the pocket. Several brothers who were with me found out and laughed for a long time.

But in the end, he stopped the laughter of the group of people by saying "wife likes candy", and the single dogs in the army couldn't laugh anymore after hearing this.

**

Cen Ning's "hard" days didn't last long. Three months later, she didn't come for her period, so she ran to buy a few pregnancy test sticks for testing, and all of them showed double red lines.

After the test results came out, Yan Zhizhi sat by the bed and stared at the pregnancy test sticks in his hand for a long time: "Is she really pregnant?"

Cen Ning was a little excited, and his words trembled: "Really."

Words and deeds slowly raised his head and glanced at her, then his eyes slowly fell to her lower abdomen: "Is this thing accurate?"

"If one is not allowed and two are not allowed, then the third one is not allowed, right?"

He thought about what he said and did, but looking at this thing, he still felt uneasy, so he put the pregnancy test stick away, got up, pulled Cen Ning and walked out of the room: "Follow me."

Cen Ning was a little confused: "Where are you going?"

"Hospital."

"ah?"

"Go and check to make sure."

Words and deeds led Cen Ning downstairs in a hurry, ran into Xu Wanying and Aunt Chen on the way, and met Xu Nanru who had just returned when walking out.

Words and deeds just left in a hurry and didn't take the car keys. Seeing Xu Nanru walking towards him, he quickly took the car keys that he hadn't had time to put away.

Xu Nanru paused, then turned around: "Where are you going?"

Words and deeds: "hospital."

Xu Nanru: "What's wrong?"

Words and deeds are in a hurry, and she simply said: "I'm pregnant."

Xu Nanru: "..."

Xu Nanru was never easy to express joy, so when he entered the room with this news, his expression was very calm.

Aunt Chen: "Where are Xingzhi and Ningning going, it's almost time for lunch."

Xu Nanru passed by and replied, "Hospital."

Aunt Chen: "What?! What's wrong?"

Xu Wanying got up hurriedly: "Are you sick?"

"No." Xu Nanru said calmly, "I'm pregnant."

"!!!"

**

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people rushed into a certain hospital in Beijing, and the old man who walked in the front was still wearing a military uniform.

Others looked sideways and saw this group of people walking up the escalator and going up all the way to the door of the gynecology department.

When Yan Guofeng and others arrived, Cen Ning and Yan Xingzhi were sitting on the chairs in the hospital waiting for the results. Cen Ning turned his eyes inadvertently, and saw the Yan family and others standing here in a mighty manner.

She froze for a moment, then stood up from the chair: "Grandpa, why are you all here?"

Yan Guofeng quickly motioned her to sit down: "How is it? What's the result?"

Words and deeds: "Still waiting, should come out soon."

Yan Guofeng nodded, but there was obvious eagerness in his eyes.

Cen Ning: "Just wait at home, and we will notify the family as soon as we have the result."

Aunt Chen said: "How can the old man sit still? No, when I heard that you came to the hospital to investigate this, after you got off the meeting and didn't return home, you just asked someone to drive you to the hospital."

Cen Ning chuckled, "You are in such a hurry."

Yan Guofeng: "I'm not in a hurry. You see, Nan Ru is Xingzhi's younger brother. His child has been born, and there is no news from Xingzhi!"

Looking at his watch in words and deeds, he smiled and said, "There will be news soon, I'll get the report."

Today was the weekend, and there were quite a few people waiting for medical treatment or examination outside the gynecology department. They were either blatant or sneaky, and they were all paying attention to Yan Guofeng and the others.

Yan Guofeng was already dignified and majestic, and with his military uniform, he looked extraordinarily dignified. But after a while, after a young and handsome man came out with a list and said something, the majestic old man suddenly showed a big smile, and his appearance was no different from that of an ordinary old man who shared a family relationship...

Someone turned their ears slightly and heard a few words. It turned out that the girl standing in front of everyone was pregnant, so the whole family was so happy.

Later, a kind of people surrounded the girl for other tests of the official pregnancy. After the group of people had left, someone asked in a low voice: "Who were those just now?"

"It looks like a soldier, that old man looks familiar to me..."

"Tsk, I don't think these people are simple. Did you see the man next to the little girl? He's really outstanding."

"Yes, I saw it too. Those young people are all good-looking."

"By the way, there are so many people here just for a pregnancy test. Look at me, I have to do everything myself."

"Oh, what do you compare with others? At first glance, the family is not an ordinary family. The person may be a young lady. What are you?"

During the first period of pregnancy, Cen Ning suffered from severe nausea.

Sometimes I suddenly want to vomit, but I can't vomit anything after retching for a long time. I can't sit still, and the whole person is very uncomfortable.

Later, I went to the hospital for a detailed examination, and after adjusting my diet, I finally recovered a bit.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Yan Xingyao sat next to Cen Ning, looking curious.

Cen Ning touched his still flat stomach: "I don't know yet."

"Didn't the hospital tell you? Don't you want to know?"

Cen Ning: "Boys and girls are fine."

Yan Xingyao: "I said it's best to be a girl. You see, our family has two boys as soon as we are born. It's interesting to have another girl."

Yi Xi and Yan Xingyao were at odds, and always liked to tease him, so upon hearing the words, she said, "Why, we two boys are no longer interesting."

"I didn't say that, I just like girls."

Yi Xi: "If you like girls, go and have one yourself, don't you all have girlfriends?"

Yan Xingyao glared at her: "Nonsense, where did I get a girlfriend?"

"Didn't Aunt Chen say you've been on blind dates? The other party is a rich and powerful young lady."

"That's just a blind date! It didn't work again."

"It didn't work?" Yi Xi shook her head, "It's a pity, but your words and deeds are brilliant, how unattractive you are, you will need a blind date to make a girlfriend."

"Fart! There are a lot of girls chasing me, okay? I didn't go because I was annoyed at home. I warn you, don't talk nonsense—"

"Who are you warning?" At this moment, two men walked into the living room. They were about the same height, had the same expressions, and even looked at Yan Xingyao with the same eyes.

When Yan Xingyao saw the person coming, he froze immediately.

Afraid of words and deeds, that is afraid since childhood. As for Xu Nanru, he didn't like him very much when he was a child, because he always felt that he was a foreigner. But now, Xu Nanru is in charge of the company's economic lifeline, as half of his subordinates, he definitely doesn't want to offend him.

"Nobody..."

Yan Xingzhi walked up to Cen Ning, glanced at Yan Xingyao: "Speak politely."

Yan Xingyao drooped his face: "Oh."

Too lazy to talk about his words and deeds, he stretched out his hand to Ra Cenning: "Are you feeling uncomfortable today?"

Cen Ning shook his head: "It's okay."

"It's okay, I vomited during lunch." Yi Xi glanced at Cen Ning worriedly, "I didn't eat much."

Frowning in words and deeds, he gave Cen Ning a dissatisfied look: "They are not telling the truth."

Cen Ning took his hand and shook it lightly: "But it's much better than before."

"you… "

"By the way, that plum I want to eat, have you bought it?" Seeing that he was about to start a lecture, Cen Ning quickly changed the subject.

Words and deeds glanced at her, and took the bag when he entered the door just now, "Don't eat too much, I will eat something later."

"Um!"

Words and deeds took Cen Ning back to the room to rest first, and Yi Xi leaned casually on the sofa, admiring the couple while admiring: "Your brother is so kind to Cen Ning, what kind of internet celebrity is that Huamei? It’s so far away, it takes two hours to drive.”

Xu Nanru hummed: "Go back to the house, where are those two brats."

Yi Xi followed him upstairs: "Hey, why didn't you buy plums for me? I didn't get this kind of treatment when I was pregnant."

Xu Nanru paused, and looked back at her with deep eyes: "You didn't feel so bitter at that meeting."

"Yeah?"

"I often eat Xiaolongbao from Chengnan in the middle of the night, forgot?"

Yi Xi blinked, remembering what happened, when she was pregnant, Xu Nanru was often tossed by her.

Yi Xi smiled awkwardly: "I've been pregnant for six years, ha ha."

Xu Nanru snorted coldly, and continued to walk up: "White-eyed wolf."

Yi Xi hurriedly followed: "I'm not a white-eyed wolf."

"You are not a white-eyed wolf."

Yi Xi quickly reached out and touched his ass: "I'm a pervert, woohoo!"

Xu Nanru: "..."

**

Cen Ning's belly grew bigger day by day, and by the eighth month, he had already taken a vacation and stayed with her at home the whole time.

Every evening, Yan Zhizhi would take Cen Ning out for a walk, sometimes in the compound, sometimes driving to a place farther away.

After eating that day, Cen Ning suddenly said, "Shall we go to the school for a walk?"

Words and deeds: "School? Are you a university?"

"Of course not. It's our middle school and high school. I remember there is a long street outside the school. There are a lot of delicious food there."

Words and deeds smiled and pinched her face: "You can't eat those things."

"But I suddenly want to take a look." Cen Ning tightened his hand in words and deeds, "Go, go, it's not far anyway, let's go for a walk."

There is nothing to do with her words and deeds: "Okay, I will listen to you."

The school is indeed not far from the compound, and it takes only ten minutes to drive there.

Words and deeds made the driver park the car on the street, and he led Cen Ning and walked in.

Cen Ning has not been back for several years. The road has changed a lot over the years, but it is gratifying that many small shops are still standing.

"Look at that milk tea shop. Zhang Ziyi, Song Ci and I used to come here often. The milk tea there is delicious."

"Yeah."

"That's right, you had already graduated when you opened it, so you couldn't drink it." Cen Ning was a little greedy as he spoke, "Hey, do you want to try it?"

Words and deeds smiled lightly: "Do you want me to taste it, or you want to drink it yourself."

"I didn't want to drink."

In words and deeds, he said: "I'm not interested in that thing, since you don't want to drink it, then let's not buy it."

"Hey, why don't you buy it?" Cen Ning grabbed his sleeve, "How do you know you won't be interested if you haven't tried it?"

Cen Ning dragged his words and deeds to the door of the milk tea shop: "Hi, a glass of room temperature five-percent sweet macchiato with pearls."

Words and deeds: "Speaking so smoothly, it has been planned for a long time."

Cen Ning denied it: "I did it to let you taste my favorite flavor back then."

"It's better that way."

The milk tea was ready soon, Yan Zhizhi held the milk tea in his left hand and led her with his right hand. He glanced at the thing in his hand, frowned and took a sip.

"sweet."

Cen Ning stared at him intently: "It's only half sweet."

Words and deeds: "It's still sweet."

Cen Ning: "Well...isn't it delicious?"

Words and deeds glanced at her: "Maybe after so many years, it is no longer the taste it used to be."

Cen Ning hurriedly said, "No way? I'll take a sip and try!"

In words and deeds, he suppressed a smile on his lips, and brought the milk tea in front of her: "Just one sip."

"Um!"

Cen Ning sucked on the straw and took a sip carefully. The fragrant milk tea is mixed with three or four plump and elastic pearls, and after one sip, the pores of the whole body are opened.

From his words and deeds, Cen Ning seemed to have eaten some delicacy in the world, so he shook his head helplessly: "Is it that delicious?"

"It's delicious!" Cen Ning was so moved, "I don't think its taste has changed at all, it's so delicious."

Words and deeds: "Then do you want to take another sip?"

Cen Ning covered his mouth and shook his head: "Aunt Chen said that tea and sugar should not be eaten indiscriminately, anyway, I just tasted it."

"Poor thing." Words and deeds rubbed her head, put his hand on her arm, "Be patient, when the child is born, you can eat whatever you want."

"That's not okay, I have to control my weight after giving birth."

"Take good care of your body and don't worry about these things."

"Yi Xi said that men always say the same thing and mean the same thing." Cen Ning said seriously, "He will only say that his wife is fat and cute, but in a blink of an eye he will stare at the long legs on the road. "

The pace of words and deeds faltered, and he looked at Cen Ning with a dark face: "Don't keep listening to her say these things."

Cen Ning whispered: "But I think it makes sense."

Words and deeds: "..."

Cen Ning: "Isn't it?"

He took a breath between his words and deeds: "You think I am?"

"I think—" Cen Ning looked at the eyes that suddenly became dangerous in his words and deeds, and the alarm sounded in his heart, so he turned around belatedly, "I think everything is accidental, and you are definitely not!"

In words and deeds: "You are wise."

The two walked to the school gate. It was just after school and there were many students coming and going.

Standing at the school gate, Cen Ning looked around and found that the school had also undergone some changes.

The teaching building has been newly repaired, there are more green plants, and the school gate is more splendid. But the only thing that remains unchanged is the youthful atmosphere. You just stand here, as if you can see your mood and thoughts in the past years when you were still wearing your school uniform.

"Hey, wait a minute." A pair of boys and girls walked by, and the girl chased after the boy, grabbing his school uniform jacket eagerly.

When Cen Ning looked back, the boy happened to be grabbed by the girl, and he frowned and stared at her: "What are you doing?"

Girl: "Sissy sent you a message, why didn't you reply, I introduced you to her at the beginning, you are too disrespectful to me."

"I have to reply to everything she sends?"

"They're all friends, of course—"

"Well, she said she likes me and wants to be my girlfriend, how do you say I reply to her?"

The girl froze for a moment.

From Cen Ning's angle, one could just see her somewhat bewildered expression.

"I… "

"Say it."

"How would I know!"

The boy snorted coldly: "I don't know this, do you think you are stupid?"

"Alright, why are you scolding people?"

"Too lazy to tell you."

The boy was annoyed, turned his head and left. The girl stood there for a while, seeming to be in a bit of a dilemma, but finally looked at the distant figure in front of her and finally chased after her.

When Cen Ning watched this scene with relish, he stretched out his hand to pull her: "Keep watching, let's go."

Cen Ning didn't move: "The two of them must like each other."

"What?"

"Just those two kids, they must like each other." Cen Ning said with a smile, "They even pull the strings for others. Look at that boyish girl. The little girl is really a bit stupid."

He glanced at her in words and deeds: "No matter how stupid you are, I'm not as stupid as you."

Cen Ning: "... none of my business."

The words and deeds pondered for a while, and said: "That girl pulled the strings without knowing that other girls liked that boy, and some people, knowing that other girls have unreasonable desires for her fiance, still go crazy Sending love letters to them, tell me, who is stupid?"

Cen Ning was stunned for a while, then in vain remembered some stupid things she did when she was a student of this school... At that time, she worked as a courier for all the girls in the school, passing their love letters to words and deeds.

Cen Ning's complexion changed: "Then, I'm not sensible at that time!"

Words and deeds: "Well... not sensible."

"Of course I'm not sensible, if I go back to that now..."

"How are you?"

Cen Ning puffed his cheeks, and said angrily, "I'll tell everyone that you are mine, and they won't even be able to write 800 letters a day."

Words and deeds chuckled, pinched her face: "Stupid."

Everything in the world is mutual cause and effect.

If she goes back to the past, she still doesn't have to do anything.

Because he knows that the combination of every aspect of her growth will become her now, no matter how she changes—

Believe it or not, the gears of fate will always keep them together.
