Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Qiuyue was really happy to have her brothers and sisters at home.

This way, she wouldn't worry that if she didn't take care of Luo Luo, she would have nothing fun to do alone.

Now that they have older brothers and sisters, especially Yan Wei at home, they play together every day and it’s quite lively.

However, after a few days, Nan Qiuyue began to feel that something was wrong, because Yan Wei rarely had a sister who listened to him in everything, and she took Luo Luo to run around all day long. Nan Qiuyue was a little worried that if this continued, Luo Luo's mind would not be on studying at all. How would she explain this to Luo Luo's grandmother?

One afternoon, Nan Qiuyue finished her homework and walked out of the study. She found that only Nan Sibei and Nan Zhili were in the living room. She didn't see Yan Wei and Luo Luo, so she knew they had gone out to play again.

"Sister, did Luo Luo go out with big brother?"

Nan Qiuyue sat next to Nan Sibei and asked her.

"I don't know, it seems he went out."

Nan Sibei glanced around, but wasn't quite sure either.

"The two of them were just beside us."

Nan Sibei was concentrating on reading a book and didn't notice when the two people left.

"They went to play next door."

Nan Zhili, who was standing aside, looked at the book and spoke softly.

"Oh oh oh, then I'll go find them."

Nan Qiuyue ran out of the yard and walked towards her neighbor's house. Unexpectedly, when she passed by a pile of mud and sand, she saw her son Luo Luo.

Besides Yan Wei, there were several other children from the compound who were having a blast.

Nan Qiuyue looked at Luo Luo, who was usually the cleanest, and now had sand all over his clothes, hands, face, and even hair. Then she looked at Yan Wei standing next to Luo Luo like a mud monkey. She inexplicably had the illusion that "her cabbages were eaten by pigs."

Although this description is not very appropriate, Nan Qiuyue was like a mother hen protecting her chicks at this moment, and ran over unhappily.

"Luo Luo..."

Hearing Nan Qiuyue's voice, Luo Luo excitedly called her to come and play.

"Qiuyue, you're here, come and play with us."

Nan Qiuyue walked up to them with an angry look on her face.

Luo Luo didn't notice anything, but Yan Wei knew at a glance that his little cousin must be angry.

Sure enough, the next second, Yan Wei felt Nan Qiuyue rolling her eyes at him.

"..."

Yan Wei felt a little aggrieved. He just wanted to take Luo Luo to have some fun, that was all.

"Luo Luo, let's go home."

Nan Qiuyue took Luo Luo's hand and pulled her back to the Nan family.

As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Nan saw the mud and sand on Luo Luo's body, and she thought she was seeing things.

"What happened to Luo Luo? Did he fall?"

Aunt Nan was worried that Luo Luo might have fallen somewhere, as he was covered in mud.

Auntie's words caught the attention of Nan Sibei and Nan Zhili. They thought Luo Luo was injured after falling, so they also walked to the door to take a look.

"She didn't fall. She was just playing in the sand. Auntie, could you please give her a bath and change her clothes?"

Aunt Nan led Luo Luo to the upstairs bathroom, and Yan Wei walked in from outside. As soon as she entered, she felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"what happened?"

Yan Wei didn't care how much sand was on his body and sat down next to Nan Zhili. Nan Zhili sat down next to him silently.

"How could you let Luo Luo play like this? She's a girl, not you. She's been naughty since she was little, so it's okay if she's a little rough. It doesn't matter what. You said the mud pile is so high, what if she slides down?"

Nan Sibei has always been very blunt with Yan Wei and says whatever he wants to say directly.

"Don't you think reading and writing every day is boring? I think it's fun to play with Luo Luo like this."

Yan Wei doesn't care about anything else, he just wants to be happy.

"Cousin, have you finished your homework today?"

Nan Qiuyue's question directly hit the point where Yan Wei felt guilty.

"I'll have time to write it tonight."

"But Luo Luo also started not doing her homework because of you. She's slow, so she has to stay up late at night to catch up."

Nan Qiuyue told the truth that Luo Luo was not good at one subject well, and the more anxious she was, the harder it was to finish her math homework. Especially during the two times when Nan Qiuyue helped her check, she had made a lot of mistakes, so she could only accompany her to correct them slowly.

Although Luo Luo said the day before that he would not play anymore the next day, but when he got home from school and saw Yan Wei waving at him, he immediately followed her eagerly, and this cycle repeated over and over again.

"Then I'll wait until she finishes her homework before asking her to play with me. That should be fine, right?"

Yan Wei likes to be with Luo Luo. This sister is very obedient and not pretentious. She can climb trees and play in the mud with him.

Nan Qiuyue had no reason to disagree. After all, she knew that Luo Luo was very happy following Yan Wei. As long as his studies were not affected, Luo Luo had absolute freedom in the Nan family.

"But, you can't play so sloppily in the future. The same goes for you, cousin. You're covered in mud and sand, and you're sitting like this. Don't you feel dirty?"

Nan Qiuyue looked at Yan Wei seriously, and what she said made Nan Sibei laugh so hard that even Nan Zhili raised the corner of his mouth as he looked at Yan Wei.

"Hahahaha, what Qiuyue said is absolutely right. Yan Wei, look, even six-year-old kids are cleaner than you."

Yan Wei's face turned red after hearing Nan Qiuyue's words. He immediately stood up and went back to his room.

After a while, Luo Luo changed his clothes and went downstairs.

"Luo Luo, come and do your homework."

Nan Qiuyue took Luo Luo's schoolbag to the living room early in the morning, found her homework for the day, and put it on the coffee table for her. Since dinner had not started yet, she planned to let Luo Luo write for a while.

"Okay."

Luo Luo didn't know about the conversation they had just had with Yan Wei, nor did she notice Nan Qiuyue's mood just now, but she still listened to Nan Qiuyue's words the most, so when Nan Qiuyue seriously told her that she could go out to play only after finishing her homework, she nodded seriously, indicating that she would do it.

After finishing his Chinese homework as quickly as possible, Luo Luo began to stare at the math problems.

"What's wrong? What don't you know?"

Nan Qiuyue looked at her dazed look and found it a little cute.

In his previous life, Luo Luo was also very good at one subject but not for it, and if not for the death of Luo Luo's grandmother, her Luo Luo's grades would definitely be enough to get him into a good university.

“I don’t like math.”

Luo Luo was a little scared. She didn't know how to do it in the first place, and their math teacher was very strict. Last time, when she got a problem wrong, Luo Luo was hit on the palm of her hand with a ruler. She resisted even more, but she didn't dare tell Nan Qiuyue and the others, for fear that they would think she was too stupid.

Nan Qiuyue looked at Luo Luo, who was lowering his head and looked a little frightened, and felt something was wrong.

Even in her previous life, Luo Luo had done poorly in math, but she never gave up. She always said that she enjoyed the process of writing out the math answers step by step, and that she felt a sense of accomplishment from successful reasoning.

It was impossible for her to say something like "I don't like it", not to mention that she was only in elementary school. Before Yan Wei came, her arithmetic speed was a little slower, but her accuracy was still very high. How could she suddenly have such negative emotions?

Nan Qiuyue was a little puzzled. Just when she was about to ask for clarification, Yan Wei came down from the stairs.

Yan Wei went downstairs and saw Luo Luo doing homework, so she reminded Nan Qiuyue and the others.

"Don't study yourself silly. Have you heard of the saying 'combining work and rest'? Just studying won't make you happy. It's just like Ah Ye. Even though he's the best in everything, he's never been truly happy once."

When Nan Qiuyue heard Xu Zhiye's name, her heart trembled.

"Is Brother Zhiye unhappy recently?"

Nan Qiuyue turned around and asked cautiously.

Yan Wei didn't think much about it, after all, they had met several times.

"It's not that he's been unhappy recently. Ever since he returned to the Xu family, he hasn't considered himself and has only been trying to meet other people's expectations. How can such a person feel happy? So, you should learn from me, understand?"

Nan Qiuyue did not respond to Yan Wei. She was worried about Xu Zhiye, but she was powerless and didn't know how to help him.
