Spring River Chasing the Moon

Everything went smoothly. After arriving at the gate of Nanyang Middle School, Nan Qiuyue looked up at the security guard at the gate with an innocent look and said that she was there to look for her brother. The security guard looked at her and saw that she was indeed there alone, and was shocked.

"You little kid came here by yourself?"

The old man opened the door and invited Nan Qiuyue to come in and sit down first.

"Well, I came here by car."

Nan Qiuyue nodded.

"They are still in class now. You can go in after class."

Although the little girl looked quite pitiful being alone, according to school rules, no outsiders except parents of students were allowed to enter the school gate. The security guard had no choice but to wait until the class was over and give the little girl a few minutes to let her see her brother.

The little girl was also very sensible. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She sat obediently on the chair next to her. The security guard looked at Nan Qiuyue and thought of his own granddaughter. He turned on the radio and let her listen to some music. He also took out some malt candy from the bedside table and gave it to her.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Nan Qiuyue stretched out her hands and took it politely.

She was still a little nervous at the moment, wondering how Xu Zhi would react when he saw her coming.

After staying in the guard room for about twenty minutes, the bell for the end of get out of class finally rang.

The security guard opened the door for Nan Qiuyue and asked her to go find her brother.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Nan Qiuyue immediately started running, and did not forget to turn around and thank the old man.

Looking at her small figure and the big schoolbag on her back, the old man looked at her worriedly and asked her to slow down.

Nan Qiuyue didn't hear the old man's instructions. This was her first time at Nanyang Middle School. She had to find Xu Zhiye's class as soon as possible, otherwise she would have to go to class again later and she would be embarrassed to call Xu Zhiye out in front of everyone.

"Sister, I'm here to look for my brother. His name is Xu Zhiye."

Finally, she found Xu Zhiye's class. After searching for a long time but couldn't find him, Nan Qiuyue grabbed a young lady who seemed easy to talk to.

Nan Qiuyue's appearance attracted a lot of people's attention. The little girl was as cute as a doll, and she turned out to be Xu Zhiye's sister.

"Xu Zhiye? He seems to have gone to get some water."

Looking at Nan Qiuyue's little face, the girls were almost melted by her cuteness. They squatted down and answered Nan Qiuyue's questions in a low voice, for fear of scaring her.

"Then I'll wait for him here."

Nan Qiuyue didn't know where the water supply for their school was, and was afraid that going back and forth would waste time, so she planned to wait for him there.

"I'll go call him for you."

Another girl next to her felt responsible and wondered how she could let such a young child wait.

So she ran to the water fetching area as fast as she could and just happened to meet Xu Zhiye who was walking back.

"Xu Zhiye, your sister is here, go find her in the classroom."

The girl stopped and gasped for breath, but still insisted on speaking quickly.

Xu Zhi was also stunned for a moment and asked back, "My sister?"

Where did his sister come from? Xu Zhi was also confused, thinking that it was some girl playing a prank on him, and wanted to ignore it.

Unexpectedly, the girl opposite said, "Yes, she looks about five or six years old, a very cute little sister, waiting for you alone at the classroom door."

After listening to her description, although Xu Zhiye felt that it was unlikely, Nan Qiuyue's figure still appeared inexplicably.

Xu Zhi also hurried to the classroom and saw a group of people gathered there from afar.

He walked over and found that it was indeed Nan Qiuyue in the crowd.

"elder brother!"

Nan Qiuyue's eyes lit up when she saw Xu Zhiye, and she quickly waved at him.

Xu Zhi didn't know what he was feeling at the moment, but the first emotion that came to his mind was anger. He was angry that she would appear at the door of his classroom alone, and she should be in school today.

"Please ask the teacher for leave for me later."

After saying something to the people around him, Xu Zhi called Nan Qiuyue's name a little coldly, and then took her to the corner of the school playground.

"You came here alone? How did you get here?"

Nan Qiuyue didn't know about Xu Zhiye's mood changes. She took out the things she brought for Xu Zhiye from her schoolbag.

He took it and talked at the same time.

"I came here by taxi."

"Here, these are all the delicious food I brought you."

Nan Qiuyue handed the thing to Xu Zhiye, but he didn't reach out to take it. Nan Qiuyue looked up at him.

"What are you doing? Go on."

Nan Qiuyue directly stuffed the thing into his hand.

"You came here just to give me this?"

Xu Zhi didn’t quite understand Nan Qiuyue’s thoughts.

"No, I just felt bored at school, so I wanted to take a day off. I had nothing to do anyway, and I couldn't go home, so I wanted to come and visit your school."

Nan Qiuyue didn't dare to tell her real purpose, so she had to start talking nonsense again.

"Then you can't go out alone like this. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Xu Zhi also frowned. They always thought that Nan Qiuyue was very sensible and mature, and sometimes acted like an adult. For the first time, he felt that this was not entirely a good thing for her. At least in today's situation, she did not consider her own safety at all.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Nan Qiuyue finally realized that Xu Zhiye was in a bad mood. It turned out that he was worried about his own safety.

"Brother Zhiye, do you know why I came today?"

Nan Qiuyue pulled him to sit down and changed the subject.

"Because school is boring?"

Xu Zhi also thought about what she had just said.

Nan Qiuyue nodded. "Yeah, the teachers at school always say the same thing every day, and classes are always Chinese or math. It's really boring and tiring. I think people like us need a day to ourselves to do what we love."

"Do you get me?"

Nan Qiuyue hopes that Xu Zhi also understands one thing: to break away from the expectations of adults, and to be himself and do what he likes for even one day. This is okay, and there is no need to hurt his inner desires for the expectations of others.

Xu Zhi also looked at her and simply said, "A child doesn't know what tiredness is."

Nan Qiuyue looked at Xu Zhiye, wondering if he understood what she said. She took out a piece of paper from her schoolbag. It was a drawing she had made of the time when they, Yan Wei, and Luo Luo were playing together.

She also wrote a sentence on the painting.

"First you have to be happy, everything else comes second."

This was a piece of inspirational quote she had seen on the Internet in her previous life. She had used this quote to comfort herself countless times, believing that nothing was more important than her inner joy.

"Wait until I get back, then you can watch it."

Nan Qiuyue handed the painting to Xu Zhiye, then stood up, dusted off the dust behind her, and prepared to go home.

Originally, she wanted to take Xu Zhiye to skip classes and go out for a day, but then she thought of Xu Wen. If her impulsiveness caused Xu Zhiye to be punished again, she would definitely regret it.

Anyway, I have said what I wanted to say, and what I wanted to express is all in the painting. At worst, I can come a few more times to make Xu Zhi happy and less stressed.

"Then I'll go back first."

Nan Qiuyue looked at Xu Zhiye reluctantly.

"Should I take you back to school or home?"

How could Xu Zhi let her go back alone? He had already asked for leave, so he didn't care about this short time.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them were about to reach the school gate, a familiar voice sounded behind them.

"Nan Qiyue."

Nan Qiuyue turned around and was stunned.

Who can tell her why Xie Zhouxing is also in this school?

"Cousin...cousin."
