Spring River Chasing the Moon

On June 9th, the weather was fine.

Today is Luo Youyou’s first birthday after her rebirth, and also her first birthday since returning to the Nan family.

Both the Nan family and the Chen family attach great importance to Luo Youyou's birthday opportunity.

If Zhu Yuying's birthday party was an occasion to make Luo Zhong's identity public, it was a somewhat official social scene.

So this time, Luo Youyou’s birthday is a rare private celebration for the two families. It is private and more intimate.

This time, apart from the two families, Luo Luo and her grandmother were also there. The Nan family did not notify anyone else. They just hoped that Luo Youyou could have an unforgettable birthday.

Luo Youyou woke up early. Even though her mental age was past the age of looking forward to birthdays, she still had anticipation for today. This was the first time she was looking forward to her birthday so much, and she was looking forward to everyone's love and blessings.

All the family members gathered together just for her birthday, which was almost impossible in her previous life.

At that time, the best Yang Qian could do was to make her a bowl of longevity noodles, and she still had to ask Luo Zhong for the money.

There will be no birthday presents or any special surprises.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the private room booked by Nan Youmin on the top floor of Nancheng Hotel, Chen Ze and Li Muzhi arrived with Luo Youyou and his family.

This time, Luo Zhong exchanged his vacation time with others specifically for Luo Youyou's birthday. He never wanted to miss any important moment of his family again.

"Professor Chen, Teacher Li, you are here. Please take a seat."

When Nan Youmin saw Chen Ze and his family arriving, he quickly stood up to greet them.

"Brother and sister-in-law, you are here so early."

Led into the private room by the waiter, Luo Zhong and his friends immediately saw Nan Youmin, Wang Jing, and their children, Nan Sibei and Nan Zhili.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Chen Lili greeted them.

"I don't have anything to do at the company today, so I came here early. Your sister-in-law is also not that busy these days."

Nan Youmin explained.

"Thank you for the arrangement, big brother. I see the children like it here very much."

As the largest hotel in South City, the top floor here overlooks all the surrounding scenery. After Luo Youyou entered the room and greeted Nan Youmin and the others, he pulled Nan Sibei and Nan Zhili to the window to look at the distant scenery.

It was the first time for her to look at the city of Nancheng from this perspective.

"Sister, it's so beautiful here."

Luo Youyou held Nan Sibei's hand and couldn't help but sigh.

In her previous life, she often stayed on the upper floors of hotels because of business trips. Maybe it was because her mood was different, but in her previous life, she never opened the thick curtains in the hotel to appreciate the scenery of each city.

Looking at Luo Youyou's surprised eyes, Nan Sibei felt very uncomfortable. She was obviously his sister, a child of their Nan family, but she came here for the first time and sighed at the unique scenery in front of her.

"What's the big deal? There are still many fun places in South City. We'll take you to see them when the time comes. I guarantee they'll be more beautiful than what you saw today."

Nan Sibei touched Luo Youyou's little head and silently decided in her heart to protect her little cousin well and give her the best things.

After a while, Luo Luo's grandmother came with Luo Luo. This was their first time to such a nice hotel. There was even someone playing the piano in the lobby, which made Luo Luo stop for a long time.

"Luo Luo, you're here."

When Luo Youyou saw Luo Luo coming, she hurried over, pulled her to the window, and invited her to look at the scenery outside together.

The sky gradually darkened and night fell, and the houses in the south city all lit up their lights.

At this moment, Luo Youyou felt that she would remember it for the rest of her life. Facing the lights of thousands of homes, she was no longer lonely and did not need to envy others, because as long as she looked back, all the people who loved her were by her side.

At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone was there.

The waiter started serving the dishes. Today, Luo Youyou was seated in the center, next to Luo Zhong and Chen Lili.

The two families gathered around a big table and started to have their meal in a lively atmosphere.

"Everyone, before we eat, I want to say a few words."

Nanzhou Yue was moved by the happy smiles on everyone's faces.

"So many things have happened recently. I, Nanzhou Yue, never thought about it. Yuying and I also suffered and were sad at one point..."

When he said this, Nanzhou Yue looked at Luo Zhong and Luo Youyou.

"But now I feel very happy, very joyful, because our family is finally together."

"Today is the first time our little granddaughter celebrates her birthday with us. As a grandfather, I don't know what gift to give her. This gift is our token of our appreciation."

As he spoke, Nanzhou Yue took out a gift and handed it to Luo Youyou.

Before Luo Youyou could react, the gift was in her hands.

Under the expectant gazes of Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying, Luo Youyou opened the gift box. After seeing what was inside the box, Luo Youyou was shocked.

It turned out to be a house!

Luo Youyou almost screamed, but she held it back. She was only five years old and her reaction couldn't be too outrageous. How could a child know the value and preciousness of a house?

"Mom and Dad, this is... this is the house... this is not appropriate."

Luo Zhong and Chen Lili were also stunned. They didn't expect that Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying would directly give the house to Luo Youyou.

"Yes, Mom and Dad, how can we accept this?"

In the minds of Luo Zhong and Chen Lili, a house should be bought with one's own earnings. They had never considered buying a house before. One reason was that Yang Qian took away most of their family's salary, and another reason was that Luo Zhong had relatively little vacation time each year and had little time to live at home.

Now, they have returned to the Nan family. Luo Zhong thought that he had little vacation time, and if he had a vacation, he would definitely go home to spend more time with his parents, so he was not considering buying a house for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying were given directly to Luo Youyou.

"This is a gift from your mother and me. You have to accept it. But we have to agree that even though we have a house, this is a guarantee for our granddaughter. You and your family still have to come back to the Nan family to accompany your mother and me during your vacation."

Nanzhou Yue instructed that even though he gave the house as a gift, his son and his family still had to move back to the Nan family.

"If you refuse, it means you don't consider us as family..."

Zhu Yuying deliberately put down her chopsticks and pretended to be sad.

Luo Zhong quickly coaxed him and agreed.

Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying had both said so, so Luo Zhong and Chen Lili no longer refused. As long as everyone was satisfied, there was no need to be pretentious.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma."

Luo Youyou was really happy that her grandparents gave her a home.

As Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying started the gift-giving time, others also gave Luo Youyou birthday gifts.

Chen Ze drew a picture and gave it to Luo Youyou. This was the first time that Chen Ze tried a different painting style. In the painting, Luo Youyou was painting seriously in the studio, and there were words written by Li Muzhi next to it.

Nan Qingqing's family gave her five sets of high-end custom-made clothes, saying that they wanted to make up for the birthday gifts she had missed in the past five years.

Nan Youmin gave Luo Youyou the landscape painting he had just taken a few days ago, because he knew that she was currently learning Chinese painting from Chen Ze. This painting was of top quality in terms of both artistic conception and brushwork, and was a rare treasure that was hard to come by.

Chen Yanyan and the others gave Luo Youyou the Nanxi inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones, hoping that he could use it when painting.

Chen Youyou and Chen Caier designed a set of jewelry exclusively for Luo Youyou for her birthday.

"Every year on your birthday, your uncle and aunt will design a unique set for you."

When handing the gift to Luo Youyou, Chen Youyou patted his chest and assured her.

Grandma Luo Luo and Luo Luo did not have enough money to buy expensive gifts. When Grandma Luo Luo heard Luo Luo mention that children have birthday cakes on their birthdays these days, she went to ask a store outside how to make the cake. After trying several times, she finally succeeded.

"Grandma Luo Luo is really skillful."

Zhu Yuying looked at the cake, which was filled with fruits that Youyou liked, and knew that Grandma Luo Luo had put a lot of thought into it.

Looking at the cake that Grandma Luo Luo made for her and everyone's loving gazes, Luo Youyou's eyes turned slightly red.

As the lights dimmed, the words "Happy birthday to you" echoed in Luo Youyou's ears.

She closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart.

“May those I love and those who love me be healthy, safe, happy and joyful.”
