Spring River Chasing the Moon

Half an hour after Nan Qiuyue finished her dinner, she began her daily plan of pretending to sleep.

"Mom, please go home. I'm sleepy."

Nan Qiuyue yawned and lay down.

Chen Lili measured the temperature of her forehead with her hand, and then gently touched her little face.

"Mom will stay with you for a while."

Nan Qiuyue had no choice but to close her eyes and pretend to fall asleep.

After a while, Chen Lili felt that Nan Qiuyue's breathing had stabilized, so she carefully tidied up the corners of her quilt and then quietly left the ward.

What Nan Qiuyue didn't expect was that she actually fell asleep. When she turned over and opened her eyes in a daze, she was startled by the person sitting beside the bed.

Seeing the person sitting there clearly, Nan Qiuyue thought she was still asleep and asked, "Am I dreaming?"

Nan Qiuyue rubbed her eyes, feeling a little uncertain and more disbelieving.

"Don't touch your eyes."

Xu Zhi also reached out and grabbed her wrist, carefully reminding her that rubbing her eyes with her hands could easily allow bacteria to enter her eyes.

Feeling the warmth of Xu Zhiye's hand, Nan Qiuyue gradually began to feel the reality.

"Brother Zhiye, it's really you!"

Nan Qiuyue sat up excitedly and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Xu Zhi also helped her adjust the pillow and let her lean on it. Seeing her happy expression, he smiled too.

In fact, he had arrived at the hospital entrance a long time ago. Before coming, he secretly asked Yan Wei which floor and room Nan Qiuyue's ward was on. He also knew that Nan Qiuyue did not allow family members to stay with her at night, so usually after dinner, there was no one else in the ward.

So he waited at the entrance of Jinghe Hospital until Xie Zhouxing and the others, as well as Nan Qiuyue's mother, left the hospital before he went upstairs. He didn't expect Nan Qiuyue to fall asleep so early.

Xu Zhi originally wanted to sit for a while and then leave, but seeing that the little girl was so well-behaved even when she was sleeping, he felt extremely relaxed just staying quietly beside her. So he sat there for almost two hours. Unexpectedly, Nan Qiuyue turned over and woke up by herself.

"How's your recovery? Why did you suddenly get sick?"

Xu Zhi also spoke softly. The lights in the ward were not on because Nan Qiuyue had just gone to sleep. Only the light from outside was shining into the room, making the emotions of the two people infinitely magnified in the darkness.

"I was almost well, but then I suddenly fell ill... I don't know..."

Nan Qiuyue thought about the source of this serious illness, and it was probably because she spent most of the day in the snow just to build a perfect snowman.

But she didn't dare tell the truth to Xu Zhiye. Over the past few years, although Xu Zhiye almost always responded to her requests, when it came to matters of principle, he was stricter than her family, not to mention that this time it was about her health.

Xu Zhi had also learned from Yan Wei that Nan Qiuyue had stayed outdoors for half a day to build a snowman. He said that she didn't even wear gloves and was so engrossed in the fun that she developed a high fever the next night.

Did Nan Qiuyue think that he wouldn’t know if she didn’t tell him?

"Since you're sick and in the hospital this time, I won't say anything to you. If you do this again next time, you know the consequences."

Xu Zhiye didn't expose her little thoughts, but he still had to remind her.

He just heard what Yan Wei said on the phone. The Nan family only felt sorry for Nan Qiuyue's illness, and everyone spoiled her. No one told Nan Qiuyue to be more careful next time and take good care of herself.

Listening to Xu Zhiye's words, Nan Qiuyue lowered her head in frustration. She knew that she could not hide anything from him.

Nan Qiuyue guessed that it was Yan Wei, the loudmouth again. As long as he knew everything, nothing could be hidden.

Xu Zhi was also so smart that he could make Yan Wei pour out everything he knew without realizing it with just a few words.

"Feeling wronged?"

Seeing Nan Qiuyue lowering her head and not saying anything, Xu Zhi thought that his words were too harsh, after all, she was still sick.

Nan Qiuyue shook her head. Xu Zhi was only thinking about herself. She was so happy that she didn't even have time to feel wronged. She was just thinking about how to make Yan Wei shut up after she was discharged from the hospital.

"I brought you something fun."

As he spoke, Xu Zhi also took out the gadgets he had bought in the afternoon.

Nan Qiuyue likes building and assembling, so he bought several items that require DIY.

There was a set that he had specially asked a friend to buy for him abroad during the Chinese New Year. He had originally planned to give it to Nan Qiuyue after school started, but she was ill and missed the time, so he brought them all here and gave them to her.

Nan Qiuyue's eyes lit up when she saw the gift Xu Zhiye sent. She was too idle in the hospital. Although someone came to talk to her every day, she still felt bored.

This hospitalization made Nan Qiuyue miss the time when she had a smartphone in her previous life. At least in this situation, she could still watch TV series and read the news.

After rebirth, Nan Qiuyue's entertainment life became much less interesting.

Nan Qiuyue had watched and listened to the popular TV series, movies, and all the latest music many times in her previous life, so they were not new to her now.

So now, her favorite thing is handicrafts, and she can play with them for a whole day. Xu Zhiye's gift really touched her heart.

"Thank you, brother."

Nan Qiuyue took a few boxes and began to look at them happily.

"Don't play at night. Go to bed early and get a good rest so your body can recover faster."

Seeing her eager look, Xu Zhi took back the box and put it in the cabinet next to her.

Seeing Xu Zhi also starting to organize the things in the cabinet, Nan Qiuyue leaned on the hospital bed, inexplicably hoping that time would stop at this moment.

The atmosphere between the two of them now is like that of a couple who have been together for a long time, and everything is going so smoothly.

"Brother Zhiye, have you decided which university you want to go to?"

Thinking that Xu Zhi would be taking the college entrance examination in a few months, she still didn't know his plans for the future.

Hearing this question, Xu Zhi rarely failed to respond. He put the last box into the cabinet, closed the cabinet door, sat back on the stool, and looked at Nan Qiuyue without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

Nan Qiuyue looked at him strangely.

“My grandfather wanted me to major in political economics at South City University.”

After a while, Xu Zhi also spoke slowly.

"What about yourself?"

Nan Qiuyue didn't know much about the career prospects of political economics, but when she heard about it, she felt that it was closer to public office. However, Xu Zhi had clearly not been in politics in his previous life.

"I……"

Xu Zhi was speechless for a moment.

"Do you believe I can be myself?"

Xu Zhiye suddenly asked Nan Qiuyue back.

"Of course I believe it. Didn't we make a bet?"

Nan Qiuyue looked at Xu Zhiye and said sincerely.

It was this kind of Nan Qiuyue who seemed to give Xu Zhiye courage.

"Well, I think you'll win."
