If The Moon Won’t Hold You - Chapter 19-1

The sharp and dangerous aura he exuded made people feel like they were spinning on the wheel of life and death.

The hall was silent except for the crisp trickling of water from the nearby indoor waterfall. The drunk man’s friend couldn’t remember who the other person was after a brief period of confusion. So he assumed that since he did not know him, he was not a person of status.

Now that the inexplicable panic had passed, there was another burst of anger in his heart.

“My friend was only joking just now. Brother, you used so much force. He’s drunk!”

“Is it too much?” The man sneered. And the rhetorical question also revealed the meaning of “If this is too much power, then he hasn’t experienced true power.”

“What do you mean?! Can you afford the medical bills if something happens?”

Man: “No compensation.”

“You..!”

Young Master Liang: “…”

Xin Zechuan: “F*ck off!”

Young Master Liang: “… no, what- who is this? Brother Zechuan, my friend got beaten without a reason.”

Tang Zheng sighed loudly from behind: “It’s really that nothing is the same as before, human relationships are not the same anymore. You’re being bullied now, Brother Yan. You’re too miserable.”

The person beside Cen Ning raised his eyes to look at Tang Zheng. His gaze exuded light. It was Yan Xingzhi.

But Yan Xingzhi didn’t want to pay attention to him. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl, whose face was now very red. The corner of his lips pursed slightly, thinking: He hadn’t seen her for a few years. This little girl has now grown up. Just now, he almost didn’t recognize her.

Tang Zheng continued: “Your buddy is too bold. Why do you make fun of our little girl and then say that the beating was for no reason? Then what is the reason? Are you looking for a pummeling, eh?!”

Xin Zechuan glanced back at Tang Zheng: “Have some manners. If you keep babbling about fighting, believe it or not, the country will take soldiers like you to rebuild.”

Tang Zheng pouted: “What’s this…”

Young Master Liang looked at the two of them. Then he thought about the man Tang Zheng called Brother Yan, and something suddenly flashed in his mind: “Yan?”

With the surname Yan and Xin Zechuan being so protective, could it be…

Just as he was thinking of this, Xin Zechuan came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Young Master Liang was stunned. His thoughts had been confirmed, and he glanced at Yan Xingzhi in a panic.

Xin Zechuan said impatiently: “Okay, next time have your eyes open and look clearly. Hurry and leave!”

“Ok, ok.” Young Master Liang’s arrogance now was like a punctured balloon with no air left.

With a sullen face, he hurriedly helped his friend, who was so drunk that he couldn’t get up himself, and then went towards the door.

“F*ck, it hurts so much… which b*stard beat me,” the drunk man shouted out swear words as he stumbled out, “D*mn, which idiot! Where the hell are you taking me? I want to go back…”

The voice gradually drifted away. Later, Young Master Liang was afraid that this friend would say something that would trigger them and cause trouble, so he hurriedly whispered a few words in his ear.

Soon after, the drunk man’s voice disappeared completely.

Tang Zheng rolled his eyes: “These two stinky boys… what did you tell him? How did he leave just like that? I still want to punch him.”

Xin Zechuan: “Do I need to say anything superfluous? I just mentioned the Yan family from the capital. If he doesn’t go away obediently, does he want to pave the way for his future of peeling the skin and plucking the sinews?”

Tang Zheng snorted: “That’s true.” After speaking, he happily walked to Cen Ning’s side and changed the subject, “Hey, little girl, you grew so tall, you’ve become beautiful.”

Cen Ning’s body was still stiff because of the person beside her, and when she heard Tang Zheng’s words, she said embarrassingly, “… No.”

“Tsk, looking at your appearance, you were just frightened, weren’t you?” Tang Zheng patted Yan Xingzhi’s shoulder. “Fortunately, Brother Yan came out in time.”

Yan Xingzhi glanced at Tang Zheng to signal him to shut up, and then asked, “Are you alright?”

Cen Ning realized he was talking to her. Her heart that just calmed down started pounding again. “I’m fine.”

Yan Xingzhi: “That’s good, let’s head in.”

The group of people walked inside, and Yan Xingzhi, who had just taken a few steps, paused. “Cen Ning.”

Cen Ning followed behind with her eyes down and looked at him in a dumbfounded manner when she heard her name: “Ah?”

“We haven’t seen each other for a few years, and you’ve become so distant with me?” Yan Xingzhi suddenly questioned.

Cen Ning blinked, not knowing whether to shake her head or nod.

Yan Xingzhi smiled, and that made the coldness on his face dissipate a lot. “It seems so. You’re not even calling my name.”

Cen Ning was stunned for a moment, then suddenly abashedly said: “Xing… Xingzhi Gege.”

**

Zhang Ziyi also arrived hurriedly just when the group of people arrived at the door of the room. After seeing Tang Zheng, the two started arguing as if the past three years didn’t exist.

Cen Ning was very envious of Zhang Ziyi’s ability to adapt quickly. Unlike herself, she was so nervous after seeing Yan Xingzhi. There was no such thing as being calm.

After entering the room, Cen Ning saw many familiar faces, including Meng Peiyan, who was already very popular.

The conversations of people surrounded her, and she smiled lightly. It wasn’t until an enormous group of people came in that she waved her hand lightly.

“Went out for such a long time. What were you all doing?”

Tang Zheng took Zhang Ziyi’s shoulder and said, “Didn’t we happen to receive these two little girls?”

Meng Peiyan was a person Zhang Ziyi disliked from the bottom of her heart. She pulled away from Tang Zheng’s hand and muttered, “Who wanted you to receive us?”

“Let’s all sit down.” Meng Peiyan greeted everyone and encouraged them to sit down. Cen Ning raised her eyes, just meeting Meng Peiyan’s eyes. Meng Peiyan smiled at her, like a large LCD advertisement in the public square, proper and beautiful.

Cen Ning also nodded to her, then sat down in a small corner. Zhang Ziyi sat on her left, while Yan Xingzhi sat on her right.

“It’s rare for our two heroes to return, so tonight we must drink until we are all thoroughly drunk.”

Tang Zheng: “No thanks, we both avoid alcohol.”

Hearing Tang Zheng say this, someone became unhappy, “Don’t be so strict, Tang Zheng, aren’t you on holiday break? You took off your military uniform, but you can’t even have a few drinks?”
