Spring River Chasing the Moon

It's still the holidays, and there are quite a lot of people in the bookstore.

Xu Zhi also took Luo Youyou to the children's picture book area, and Luo Youyou began to choose carefully.

But to be honest, she didn't know what kind of topics Luo Luo liked at this age.

She took a book for each story. Xu Zhi looked at the child, who was having a hard time holding the thick book, so he reached out and took the book from her hand and held it himself.

"Like watching this?"

Xu Zhi also saw that Luo Youyou took a lot of little mannequin paintings and thought that she liked them.

"No, my best friend is coming to South City soon, and this is her favorite book."

Xu Zhi also nodded in understanding.

The two of them were leisurely strolling in the bookstore. It was supposed to be a nice quiet time, but they didn't want to be suddenly disturbed.

"Hello."

A middle-aged woman was holding a boy's hand. Although she was greeting them, her eyes were always fixed on Xu Zhiye. Even Luo Youyou could see that the woman was fawning and ingratiating.

Xu Zhi had no expression and did not answer. He just looked up at the woman in front of him, as if he was already used to her attitude.

"Master Xu, you are here too. What a coincidence."

The woman said this with a smile, and bursts of laughter, attracting the attention of many people nearby.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Xu Zhi also pulled Luo Youyou behind him and looked at the person opposite coldly.

The woman felt a little nervous when he looked at her. She didn't expect that the boy was only in his teens, but the aura around him made her panic for a moment.

"Master Xu, this is the case. My family owns Dongxing Real Estate. I'm looking for Secretary Xu's help with the land in the eastern suburbs. Don't worry, we won't let Secretary Xu suffer any loss..."

The woman approached Xu Zhiye and spoke in a low voice.

This is really not a good place to talk about things, but her husband has been unable to sleep well day and night because of the land in the eastern suburbs. It is a rare opportunity to meet the young master of the Xu family today, and she cannot miss this opportunity. Fortunately, she has met Xu Zhiye once when she attended the banquet before.

Before the woman finished speaking, Xu Zhi took Luo Youyou a step back and kept a distance from her.

The woman wanted to continue speaking, but when she saw Xu Zhiye's actions, she became awkward.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with my father's work."

Hearing Xu Zhi say this, the woman opposite still refused to give up and hurriedly explained.

"You don't need to do anything. Just ask your father to see if Secretary Xu would be willing to meet with my wife..."

As she spoke, the woman winked and made eyes, as if implying that there would be great benefits in meeting them.

Xu Zhi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.

"First of all, I can't and won't do what you ask. And most importantly, my father would never help someone solve a problem just because they offer him a favor. You've got the wrong person."

After saying that, Xu Zhi turned around and left with Luo Youyou, not giving the woman any chance at all.

Luo Youyou looked at Xu Zhiye's back as he walked in front of her, worried that he might be unhappy.

"Brother Zhiye, are you angry?"

Hearing Luo Youyou's question, Xu Zhi also stopped and turned to look at her.

The child's face was full of worry about him, and Xu Zhi couldn't help but pinch her cheek.

"No, it's not worth getting angry at irrelevant people."

Luo Youyou looked at Xu Zhiye seriously and found that there was nothing unusual on his face, still the same as before. Thinking of Xu Zhiye's attitude in handling things just now, he thought to himself that it was no wonder that Xu Zhiye would be so good at everything he did in the future, it turned out that he had been like this since he was a child.

But it was normal to think about it, as she had looked up Xu Zhiye's information before.

Although the Internet did not specifically mention their family background, many people who knew Xu Zhiye at the time left messages online saying that the Xu family had been in politics since the older generation, but Xu Zhiye broke out of this circle and did not rely on his family background. He later worked in an investment bank and must have put in more effort for this. Perhaps he just wanted to get rid of the shackles of the Xu family.

Luo Youyou was just at Yan's house and heard Grandpa Yan talking about his grandson. At that time, she didn't know that Grandpa Yan was talking about Xu Zhiye.

They said that Xu Zhiye's grandfather was very strict with him, and his management was almost military-style. The good kid had lost the vitality that he should have at his age, and looked mature. Grandpa Yan felt very distressed when he said this, and blamed himself for his poor health and the inability to keep Xu Zhiye by his side, raise him up, and give him a happy childhood.

Luo Youyou only realized at this moment that Xu Zhiye was so taciturn and cold in his previous life, perhaps because of the education he received since childhood. She looked at Xu Zhiye now and secretly decided to bring happiness to Xu Zhiye in this life.

"Do you have anything else to buy?"

Xu Zhi also looked at Luo Youyou who was standing there stupidly, tapped her forehead with his finger and asked.

Luo Youyou came back to his senses and shook his head.

"I've almost finished picking. When my good friend comes, I'll bring her over to choose by herself."

Xu Zhi also raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"It seems like you two have a really good relationship."

Luo Youyou nodded affirmatively, "Of course, she is my best friend."

Seeing the little girl's serious expression, Xu Zhi couldn't help but tease her.

He bent down and looked her in the eye.

"what about me?"

"Am I not your best friend?"

Xu Zhiye's sudden approach almost made Luo Youyou take a step back.

After hearing Xu Zhiye's question clearly, Luo Youyou subconsciously refuted it.

"You are different."

Xu Zhi was a little curious because he didn't expect this answer.

“Why am I different?”

Luo Youyou stared at Xu Zhiye's eyes, as if she was fixed by him.

There was a voice in her heart reminding her: "Because you are the one I like."

But Luo Youyou didn't dare to say it. She could only look at Xu Zhiye and speak in a panic.

"Because, you are...my brother."

"elder brother?"

Xu Zhiye repeated it to himself and thought that it was indeed true.

I originally thought that Luo Youyou was just a child I knew, but I never expected that the two families had acquaintances, and she was indeed a "sister".

"Then you are my sister. I will protect you from now on."

Xu Zhi also touched Luo Youyou's head and made a promise, but he didn't know how much he would regret what he said today many years later.

When the two of them were queuing up to pay, Luo Youyou realized that she didn't bring any pocket money with her. Looking at how many books she had picked out, Luo Youyou pulled at Xu Zhiye's sleeve.

"Brother Zhiye, I...I forgot to bring money."

Xu Zhi also took her hand and said with a smile.

"How can I let my sister pay? My brother has the money."

Listening to his words, he knew it was perfectly normal, but Luo Youyou's heart still trembled.

"Oh my god, Xu Zhiye is too good at this age."
