Spring River Chasing the Moon

With Xie Zhouxing's help, Nan Qiuyue would ask him to deliver things to Xu Zhiye every week.

Today it’s some delicious snacks she bought, and tomorrow it might be some handmade gadgets she made herself.

When the students of Nanyang Middle School saw Xie Zhouxing giving something to Xu Zhiye for the first time, everyone looked incredulous.

To them, Xu Zhiye and Xie Zhouxing had little in common. If they had to say they had a relationship, it would be because they looked down on each other, because Xie Zhouxing's grades were always slightly worse than Xu Zhiye's.

Xu Zhiye has always been ranked first, and Xie Zhouxing is ranked second.

Unexpectedly, one day the two of them would be able to sit together and start giving each other gifts.

Later everyone realized that Xu Zhiye's sister was also Xie Zhouxing's sister. Although they didn't know the specific situation, the girls in the school were all envious. There was actually a girl in the world who had two such outstanding brothers.

……

Many years passed in a flash, and Nan Qiuyue was already a fifth-grade student. In another half a year, she would go to Nanyang Middle School, and Xu Zhi would become a senior high school student in Nancheng No. 1 Middle School.

"Brother, winter break is coming soon. I promise this is the last time this semester. Please help me deliver this package to Brother Zhiye."

At the Chen family's yard, fifth-grader Nan Qiuyue pulled Xie Zhouxing's arm and begged him coquettishly.

Over the past four years, Xu Zhiye's studies have become increasingly busy. In the past, Nan Qiuyue could only see him during the Chinese New Year holidays.

In the past two years, Xu Zhiye's family would arrange for him to travel around with his father whenever he had a holiday. It seemed that they wanted Xu Zhiye to understand the difficulty of this road as soon as possible and prepare in advance.

Nan Qiuyue couldn't do anything, nor was she qualified to do anything. Fortunately, as she grew older, she had more free time.

So she would run to Xu Zhiye's school every once in a while to stay with him for a while, even if it was just sitting on the playground, quietly without saying anything.

In the remaining time, the only thing Nan Qiuyue could do was to give Xu Zhiye spiritual encouragement and communicate with him through words so that he could have a way to vent.

"It's not that I won't help you this time. Xu Zhi won't be taking the final exam either. It seems something happened at home, so he won't be coming to school for the next few days."

Xie Zhouxing and Xu Zhiye were admitted to Nancheng No. 1 Middle School together and were assigned to the same class. This was a great thing for Nan Qiuyue, as it made it easier for her to communicate with Xu Zhiye and she also had an excuse to visit him frequently at No. 1 Middle School.

"Ah...he didn't tell me."

Nan Qiuyue felt a little disappointed. After so many years, she thought she and Xu Zhi could talk about anything. Why didn't he tell her in advance this time?

"He gave me something and told me to hand it over to you personally. I wonder if someone still wants it?"

Xie Zhouxing took out the gift that Xu Zhiye gave to Nan Qiuyue from his schoolbag and handed it to Nan Qiuyue.

"Yes, I definitely want it."

Knowing that Xu Zhi had not forgotten her, Nan Qiuyue's lost mood suddenly recovered and she excitedly took the thing from Xie Zhouxing's hand.

"He said that he won't be in South City for the New Year this year, so he prepared a New Year's gift for you in advance. I wish you a happy New Year."

Xie Zhouxing repeated Xu Zhiye's words to Nan Qiuyue verbatim.

"I see."

Although Nan Qiuyue was very curious about what Xu Zhi had given her, Xie Zhouxing was still looking at her, so she was embarrassed to open it in front of him.

So she ran back to her room, closed the door quietly, then sat down at the desk and opened the gift prepared by Xu Zhiye.

A letter fell out of the box, and Nan Qiuyue carefully opened it.

"Last time you said you wanted to learn skiing. I found a reliable coach at Yushan Ski Resort in the north of the city. I've already bought the equipment. If you have time this holiday, you can go there. I've already paid the fees there. I hope you can learn it.

However, skiing is always dangerous, so you must be accompanied by your family, do you understand?

You can ask Xie Zhouxing to accompany you. He has a calm personality and is more reliable than Yan Wei in doing things. "

Nan Qiuyue smiled secretly when she saw this. In fact, if it weren't for her in this life, Xu Zhi and Xie Zhouxing would have had no intersection at all. Unexpectedly, this would damage Yan Wei's reputation.

"I'm going back to my hometown to worship my ancestors this year. I'll probably be back in Nancheng after the Lantern Festival. I've prepared a gift and wish you a happy new year in advance. Our Qiuyue is another year older and will be a middle school student soon. I hope you'll be happy every day and grow up happily."

……

Inside the box is a mobile phone.

Nan Qiuyue stared at her phone in a daze. In fact, for her, with her family's current financial situation, it was easy to buy a mobile phone. It was just that Nan Qiuyue didn't have a particular desire for it. Maybe the people she wanted to contact were all around her.

But when facing Xu Zhiye, she always wanted to record all their connections in words.

However, she knew that Xu Zhi now could not understand her feelings for him. He still treated her as the five-year-old girl who had asked him to meet her in Haicheng.

Reading Xu Zhiye's letter, including the past few years of getting along with each other, although he always cared about me very much and tried his best to protect me.

But Nan Qiuyue knew that Xu Zhiye still treated her as a younger sister, and it was even possible that in his heart, she had become his biological sister.

For the first time, Nan Qiuyue felt that it was not a good thing for her and Xu Zhi to know each other too early. What would she do if he always treated her as a little sister?

Xie Zhouxing and Chen Ke knocked on Nan Qiuyue's door for a long time, but no one responded. The two were a little worried about Nan Qiuyue. She had been in the room for a long time and didn't come downstairs even at dinner time. They were afraid that she was not feeling well, so they pushed open the door of her room and saw Nan Qiuyue staring at the phone on the desk in a daze.

"The latest model?"

Chen Qi was stunned when he looked at his cell phone. He had always wanted to change it, but his parents would not allow it, saying that he only pursued new models.

"Did Xu Zhi also give it to you?"

Xie Zhouxing knew that Xu Zhi had also sent a gift. At this moment, the packaging box was still next to him, so it was obvious who bought the phone.

Nan Qiuyue nodded.

"Then why are you still not happy?"

Nan Qiuyue usually gets excited when she receives a reply from Xu Zhiye. If she hadn't been like this since she was a child, Xie Zhouxing would really doubt whether his cousin likes Xu Zhiye.

"No, I was just thinking about other things."

Nan Qiuyue put on an ugly smile and put her phone in the drawer of the desk.

"Eat, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Then he pushed Xie Zhouxing and Chen Ke out of the room.

"She doesn't want to be a sister!"
