Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Qiuyue was really shocked by Xie Zhouxing's appearance. She suddenly remembered that Xu Zhiye and Xie Zhouxing seemed to be in the same grade, so it was not surprising that they were in the same school, and they might even be in the same class in the same grade.

Thinking of this, Nan Qiuyue quickly shook her head and smiled at Xie Zhouxing in a flattering manner.

"Why are you here?"

Xie Zhou walked up to Nan Qiuyue and frowned when he thought about how the two men were about to leave.

He and Xu Zhi were not classmates, but their classrooms were next to each other. When he came back from the bathroom after class, he heard many classmates discussing that a cute sister came to see Xu Zhi.

Xie Zhouxing was a little surprised. He had never heard that Xu Zhi had a sister. He didn't expect that this "sister" was his cousin Nan Qiuyue.

"Cousin, I..."

Nan Qiuyue didn't know how to explain it. Most importantly, she was worried about whether Xie Zhouxing would go home and tell the adults what happened today.

Seeing Nan Qiuyue's panic, Xu Zhi patted her shoulder, gave her a reassuring look, and then pulled Xie Zhouxing aside.

Nan Qiuyue didn't know how Xu Zhi explained to Xie Zhouxing. Xu Zhi didn't let her listen to what they were saying, so she could only wait for them obediently.

When the two of them walked back, Xie Zhouxing did not ask Nan Qiuyue what happened, but just asked her to go home early.

Nan Qiuyue was afraid that Xie Zhouxing would go back and tell something to the adults at home, so she spoke carefully.

"Cousin... could you please not tell the adults?"

Nan Qiuyue blinked her innocent big eyes and looked at Xie Zhouxing pitifully, which made Xie Zhouxing helpless.

"I won't tell anyone, you don't have to be afraid."

After hearing what Xie Zhouxing said, Nan Qiuyue felt relieved, but she also knew that no matter how Xu Zhiye explained to him, Xie Zhouxing would definitely have doubts in his heart.

"Cousin, come to grandpa's house and play on the weekend."

Nan Qiuyue took advantage of Xu Zhi's inattention and whispered to Xie Zhouxing.

She thought that when she had time and a suitable opportunity on the weekend, she would have a good talk with Xie Zhouxing.

"Row."

Xie Zhouxing agreed.

-

On the weekend, Nan Qiuyue studied with Chen Ze in the studio as usual, while Luo Luo also practiced calligraphy with Li Muzhi.

"Grandpa, this is what I drew recently. Can you help me see if there is any improvement?"

Chen Ze took the drawing paper from Nan Qiuyue's hand and looked at it carefully one by one.

Chen Ze, who has always had great expectations for Nan Qiuyue, has seen her usual efforts. No matter how she paints, Chen Ze always looks at it with a positive attitude, not to mention that every time Nan Qiuyue paints, he feels particularly surprised and has to praise her.

"Qiyue, your painting has improved a lot recently. But Grandfather knows that you have always been very hardworking. Now that you are in elementary school, the study burden is getting heavier. Painting is something that is accumulated over time. As long as we don't neglect it and don't slack off, we can take our time. Don't overwork yourself. Do you understand?"

Although Chen Ze and Li Muzhi have expectations for Nan Qiuyue's painting skills, what is more important is the child's happy growth.

"understood."

Looking at the caring eyes of Chen Ze and Li Muzhi, Nan Qiuyue felt warm in her heart.

She thought of Xu Zhiye again. If only Xu Zhiye’s grandfather could consider his education in this way, then Xu Zhiye would not have to bear so much pressure.

Li Muzhi looked at Nan Qiuyue with gentle eyes, while Luo Luo sat upright beside him, having finally finished today's exercises. Li Muzhi's eyes fell on Luo Luo and he gently touched her head.

"Little Luo Luo, it's the same. You have to combine work and rest in everything you do. Got it?"

Luo Luo nodded, not quite understanding.

"Oh, by the way, Yanyan called yesterday and said that she and Xie Li were both on duty that night, and Zhou Xing said he would come to our house for dinner tonight."

Li Muzhi suddenly thought of Chen Yanyan's words and asked Chen Ze curiously.

"The couple were on duty before, and Zhou Xing didn't say he wanted to come over. Is there something going on this time?"

In Li Muzhi's heart, Xie Zhouxing has always been a relatively independent child. It may be because his parents are both doctors and he has been used to it since childhood. Li Muzhi was surprised that he could come this time, but he was also a little worried that something might have happened in his daughter's family.

Chen Ze didn't find it strange. "We were both in Haicheng before, and Zhou Xing hadn't seen each other many times. Now we get together often, so our relationship must be getting better and better."

Nan Qiuyue, who was standing next to them, felt inexplicably guilty as she listened to what Li Muzhi and Chen Ze said. Only she knew why Xie Zhouxing suddenly came this time.

Before dinner, Xie Zhouxing arrived at Chen Ze's house as agreed. When Nan Qiuyue saw him, she couldn't talk to him in front of Chen Ze and Li Muzhi, so she could only keep glancing at him secretly.

It’s not that Xie Zhouxing didn’t notice Nan Qiuyue’s little movements, but he found it a bit amusing to see her sneaking around.

While Chen Ze and Li Muzhi were preparing dinner in the kitchen, Nan Qiuyue pulled Xie Zhouxing to the studio.

"cousin."

Nan Qiuyue looked at Xie Zhouxing, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Tell me..."

Xie Zhouxing looked at Nan Qiuyue lovingly, to see what she would say.

That day Xu Zhi also said that he was the one who asked Nan Qiuyue to come to Nanyang. Xie Zhouxing didn't believe this. Although they were not familiar with each other, he knew that Xu Zhi was not such a tactless person.

Xu Zhi also asked Xie Zhouxing not to ask Nan Qiuyue any further questions so as not to scare the child, so he did not ask any further questions that day.

Looking at Xie Zhouxing's face, Nan Qiuyue swallowed her saliva. Before coming here, Nan Qiuyue had thought of many excuses on how to tell Xie Zhouxing about this, but she felt that none of them were particularly reliable.

"Actually, I met Brother Zhiye before I came to Nancheng. He...he may not remember that he helped me before, so I wanted to repay him."

"Cousin, the adults taught us to be grateful and repay kindness. I heard that Brother Zhiye is under a lot of pressure. I just want to make him happy."

Xie Zhouxing didn't expect that Nan Qiuyue and Xu Zhiye had such a fate. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to tell her today that no matter what, she must not skip classes and travel such a long distance alone. Moreover, although Xu Zhiye had some relationship with the Nan family, they were not siblings at all, and there was a big age gap between them.

Xie Zhouxing and Xu Zhi didn't have much friendship. From what he knew, Xu Zhi was a person with a colder personality than him. He didn't want his cheerful sister to have too much contact with him.

But after Nan Qiuyue said that, he seemed to be narrow-minded.

"That's the truth, but we can't do this anymore."

Xie Zhouxing looked at Nan Qiuyue's little face which fell in an instant, as if she was about to cry, but she felt a little reluctant.

"Well, if you have anything you want to give to Xu Zhiye or anything you want to say, just give it to me and I'll pass it on to him. Is that okay? I'm thinking about your safety."

I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. Xie Zhouxing and Xu Zhi are also in the same school. It would be great if he could help me.

Nan Qiuyue nodded happily, "Thank you, cousin."

Xie Zhouxing looked at her and tapped her forehead helplessly.

"You."

"Cousin, this is a secret between us, okay?"

Nan Qiuyue didn't want others to know.

What else could Xie Zhouxing do but nod and agree.
