Chapter 41.2: Moonlight

Yan Xingzhi pursed his lips tightly. He reached out his hand, pressed her to his chest, and cradled her.

Cen Ning leaned against his arms across the quilt, sobbing like a mess.

“I’m sorry…” He apologized.

Cen Ning paused for a moment, then buried herself in the quilt and shook her head.

She never regretted getting in the car and was extremely glad that she did.

She still had reservations about what she said just now. She was indeed afraid of being haunted by nightmares and going back to explain to the Yan family. But in fact, what she was most afraid of was that she would never see him again. If there were no Yan Xingzhi in this world… She thought there was nothing in this world that was worth remembering.

What a horrible thought.

Yan Xingzhi stroked her hair and let her cry on his chest. When she finally managed to stop, he murmured in a hoarse voice, “Don’t cry, I’m not dead yet.”

Seeing that he was really serious, Cen Ning pouted speechlessly.

Yan Xingzhi looked at her fixedly, and drawled, “How about giving you this life for the country as a way to thank you?”

Cen Ning blinked, her hoarse voice still not smooth. “What do I want your life for?”

Yan Xingzhi smiled and replied, “You can do anything with it.”

A few days later, Yan Xingzhi’s condition improved, and he needed to be transferred from this hospital to get better treatment.

So, Cen Ning returned to Beijing with them.

Yan Xingzhi successfully completed the mission and even got a serious injury from it. The organization approved a long period of rest after he returned.

While Yan Xingzhi arrived in Beijing to go to the hospital for tests on various physical indicators, Cen Ning went back to school.

“Ningning! You’re back, are you okay?” Her roommates swarmed her when they saw her come back. “You said you were injured in Tibet and couldn’t come back. You scared us to death.”

“Yeah!!”

Cen Ning: “I’m alright, don’t you think I look fine now?”

“Phew, that’s good.”

“How are things going in class these days?”

Because she had exceeded the time limit for taking a leave, she asked her roommates to sign in for her for class these past few days. When the teacher called names for attendance, they would say ‘here’ for her. 

She could also choose to explain the situation to the counsellor. However, she was worried that the counsellor would inform her family about it, so she didn’t do that. 

“It’s alright, it’s alright, all got through!” Chen Miao said with a smile. “When I do something, what can’t be solved? There has been homework recently though, and it has to be handed in the day after tomorrow, so hurry up.”

“Mhm, okay, thank you all.”

“No problem! Remember to treat us to milk tea.”

“Of course.”

After the afternoon class, Cen Ning wanted to go back to the Yan house because she estimated that Yan Xingzhi would go home to rest.

When going downstairs, Cen Ning met the dormitory aunt again.

“I haven’t seen you these days. Did you go out to play with your boyfriend?” The dormitory aunt looked very understanding. Cen Ning responded casually and hurried out.

After stepping out, she suddenly remembered what the aunt had said before. She said that when Yan Xingzhi was helping with her luggage; he had said that he was helping his girlfriend with her luggage.

Cen Ning stood at the door of the dormitory building, her face suddenly burning again. In the Lhasa Hospital, after he said that sentence, she always had a weird sensation. It made her feel weird for the next few days.

Was he going to devote his life to her, or was it… Premeditated?

Cen Ning shuddered, frightened by her bold thoughts. Because no matter what it was, it was enough to startle her with goosebumps.

Hummm-

Her phone suddenly vibrated. Cen Ning took it out and looked. It was Yan Xingzhi calling her.

“Hey-“

“Where are you?”

“School.” Cen Ning said. “But, but I’m going home now.”

“Don’t go back.”

“Huh?”

“The car is at the entrance. Come here.”

Cen Ning asked, “Where are we going?”

Yan Xingzhi: “I don’t want them to know about my injury, so I’ll live outside during this time. In my current situation, it is not convenient for me to be alone.”

Cen Ning was a bit dumbfounded. “What about me?”

“Live with me.”
