Chapter 33.2: Favour

Xu Wanying: “If the child really likes it, it’s okay for her to learn. Why did she have to smash the camera?”

Aunt Chen: “It can be seen that what happened in the past has left a deep and festering impact… Anyway, she is angry now, complaining that Ningning  did this without her knowledge.”

Yan Guofeng: “Where did Ningning go?”

“I don’t know.”

Yan Guofeng: “Xingzhi, make a phone call.”

In fact, Yan Xingzhi already stood up without Yan Guofeng asking him. He took out his car keys and said, “I’ll go find her.”

Aunt Chen: “Come back early, bring Ningning  back to eat. It’s going to be dark soon, don’t loiter around.”

“Mhm.”

“It’s not easy to repair this part if it’s broken, and you can see that the lens is already damaged. Not to mention, the maintenance fee is very high. It’s better to buy a new one.”

The answer was the same as all the previous ones. 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, it’s easy to break.” The shopkeeper answered, “Little girl, I don’t want to lie to you, so I’ll tell you the truth. It’s all broken and smashed, if I were you, I would not want to repair it.”

“But it’s important to me.”

“This–“

“Can you do your best?” Cen Ning turned pale, “I brought the money.”

The store owner pulled a wry face: “It’s not about money…Fine, let’s do it. Let me try it for you, sit there and wait for a while.”

“Mhm! Thank you!”

Cen Ning leaned against the back of the chair, to wait for the camera inspection. She breathed a sigh of relief after the store owner’s promise, but at the same time her heart ached. Remembering the reason why she was here, and Wei Pingfang’s disgusted look, she covered her face dejectedly.

She had never quarreled with Wei Pinfang, she didn’t want to, and she didn’t dare.

All of this happened today, and she couldn’t help but feel frazzled.

She really felt so wronged. She didn’t understand why her mother shattered the camera without understanding anything first. It made her feel more uncomfortable than hitting 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’ll have to pick it up in a few days. Leave me a  number and I’ll call you when it’s ready.”

“Okay!”

After leaving the number and paying the fee, Cen Ning walked out of the store.

The maintenance fee was really high, and her part-time salary was all accounted for. It was a pity, but she didn’t regret it.

It was already dark out, and Cen Ning suddenly didn’t know where to go.

Taking out her phone, she wanted to make a call to Zhang Ziyi, but someone else called. When she was paying just now, she saw that she had a column of missed calls, but she didn’t call back.

Looking at the phone ringing again at this time, Cen Ning went blank and did not answer for a long time.

“Cen Ning.” Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away. The voice was deep and somewhat angry.

When Cen Ning turned her head to look, she did see an angry face.

Dignified, solemn, indifferent… She was originally the most afraid of this person’s expression.

But this time, she didn’t feel scared. However her nose felt sore, as if tears could fall from her eyes in the blink of an eye.

“What’s the matter with you?!” Yan Xingzhi walked up to her and grabbed her phone, “Why didn’t you answer my call?”

Cen Ning felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in her body. The cotton was blocking her blood vessels, making it difficult for her to breathe: “I’m afraid, you’re 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—” Yan Xingzhi was terribly angry, but upon seeing her pitiful appearance, he couldn’t bring himself to scold her. After a stalemate for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, “Do you know that you will make others worry like this, it’s so late, you can’t see it?”

Cen Ning lowered her head: “I came to fix the camera…”

“I know.”

So he went to every possible camera repair shop along the way and found her here.

Cen Ning: “But I still don’t know if it can be repaired. They said that even if it is repaired, it won’t go back to the way it was before. It’s my dad’s last possession… How can my mother be like this, she can’t be like this…”

She had endured all the way, and she had been angry all the way. But now when she saw Yan Xingzhi, she didn’t know why, she couldn’t bear anything anymore.

Tears that had been held back for a long time dripped down, and they didn’t even need to slide across her cheeks before hitting the ground. Cen Ning raised her hand to wipe it, but after wiping it off, it came again, and she couldn’t stop herself.

“I’m sorry…” She didn’t want to cry.

“Don’t wipe it.” Yan Xingzhi frowned, and he took her hand. She was crying so hard that her face was flushed red.

Yan Xingzhi’s heart ached so much that it was pent-up, and he pressed his right hand to the back of her head, letting her lean against his chest.

He couldn’t bear to see her cry, what his eyes do not see is regarded as clean.

But who would’ve thought that she would begin to cry even harder, not in terms of crying loudly, but her tears were like breaking a dam. The tears flooded out, and his clothes soon got wet.

Unable to bear it, Yan Xingzhi raised his hand and patted her head, coaxing, “The camera will be repaired.”

Cen Ning clenched the fabric around his waist with both hands and rubbed her face.

Yan Xingzhi saw that he could not persuade her, so he just allowed her to cry. When she couldn’t cry anymore, he reached out to support her face, and wiped away the excess tears with the pads of his fingers.

“Your snot and tears are all on my clothes, are you happy?”

Cen Ning looked at him with red eyes: “…”

Yan Xingzhi twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and comforted in a low voice, “Okay, don’t worry anymore, I am here.”
