Spring River Chasing the Moon

The day after she knew Xu Zhiye was going abroad, Nan Qiuyue was completely listless and didn't even listen carefully in class.

Even the classmates who didn't interact closely with Nan Qiuyue noticed that something was wrong with her.

He ran to their position and secretly gave Tang Li a look.

"What happened to Nan Qiuyue?"

Tang Li didn't answer, but just shook her head. She didn't know what was wrong with Nan Qiuyue today. It seemed like she had no interest in doing anything.

Several waves of classmates came and went, all to show concern for Nan Qiuyue, but they were all sent away by Tang Li.

"What happened to you?"

Tang Li was really curious. She couldn't help herself and turned around, grabbed Nan Qiuyue's hands and pulled her up from the table.

"Feeling unwell? Or something happened?"

Tang Li asked softly.

Nan Qiuyue glanced at Tang Li and moved closer to his arms.

"Li Zi, Xu Zhi has also gone abroad."

Nan Qiuyue felt that she had no strength left. She thought that Tang Li knew Xu Zhiye, and Tang Li also heard what Nan Yinbei said that time, so it should be okay to vent her emotions to her.

"Xu Zhiye?"

Tang Li thought for a while before remembering the name.

"Is this the person who is very important to you? He is going abroad so soon?"

Tang Li didn’t know what the situation between Xu Zhiye and Nan Qiuyue was, but Nan Qiuyue’s two recent mood swings were all because of him. She thought that maybe that person was really important to Nan Qiuyue.

Nan Qiuyue leaned in Tang Li's arms and nodded.

"He left without saying goodbye, and I haven't been able to contact him since then."

This is what really makes Nan Qiuyue sad. She has always known that Xu Zhi would not be trapped by the Xu family because of this small piece of world.

She has always supported him, supported him in doing what he likes, and hopes that he can be the real Xu Zhiye.

Although Nan Qiuyue was indeed surprised and upset by his decision to study abroad, she would not be so sad if he said goodbye to her in person.

On the contrary, she would bless him and wish him to return home soon after completing his studies. No matter how long it took, she would wait for him in Nancheng.

But now, Nan Qiuyue didn’t know why Xu Zhiye didn’t contact her. Was it because he forgot, or did he feel that he was not important at all?

Nan Qiuyue felt extremely aggrieved when she thought of this hypothesis. She had tried so hard to get closer to him in the past few years, so why did it end up like this?

Seeing Nan Qiuyue’s very sad look, Tang Li also became angry.

"Qiyue, you think Xu Zhi is so important, but he didn't even tell you about something as important as going abroad. This proves that you are not that important to him, at least not as much as you have paid for it."

Tang Li didn't care who Xu Zhiye was. If her good friend was hurt, she would have to talk to him about it.

"If he doesn't contact you, we shouldn't contact him either."

Tang Li’s words struck Nan Qiuyue’s heart deeply.

Nan Qiuyue returned to her room after school and turned on the screen of her mobile phone again without giving up, but the interface was still empty.

She used this phone exclusively to contact Xu Zhiye. Nan Qiuyue felt it was quite ironic at the moment. Because of this, there could be no other messages or calls on this phone, so it couldn't give Nan Qiuyue even a glimmer of hope.

After staring at the phone for about twenty minutes, Nan Qiuyue sighed deeply, raised her hand and pressed the power button of the phone. As the screen turned off, Nan Qiuyue felt as if a piece of her heart was missing.

When she returned to the room at night, Chen Lili suddenly thought of Nan Qiuyue's cell phone, so she asked for her number so that they could contact each other in the future.

Nan Qiuyue paused for a moment before saying, "I accidentally lost my phone."

Chen Lili didn't have any doubts and just said that she would buy one when she had time.

Nan Qiuyue shook her head and said no.

"I'm going to middle school soon. I want to focus on my studies. I'll put my phone aside for later."

In fact, for Nan Qiuyue now, the only person she wants to contact besides her family is Xu Zhiye. She can see her family every day. If all else fails, she has a phone at home, or she can use other people's mobile phones.

As for Xu Zhiye, he can no longer be contacted, so there is no need for the mobile phone to exist.

She is used to using full-screen smartphones and is not used to using phones of this year. The screen is so small and you can't watch videos or play games. There is no need to buy one.

On the other side, Xu Zhiye had no idea of Nan Qiuyue's mood at the moment. He had just received a new phone and changed his SIM card.

Because of the time difference between here and China, and thinking that sending a message to Nan Qiuyue late at night would disturb her rest, Xu Zhi waited another day until daytime in China, and then he sent a message to the number he knew by heart.

"Nan Qiuyue, how have you been recently? I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you properly. I've already gone abroad because the departure was so sudden, and I didn't have time to tell you. When I came here, my phone ran out of battery and I forgot to bring the charger. I searched for several days but couldn't find a compatible one here, so I got a new phone before messaging you. I've always wanted to thank you. Thank you for giving me courage, thank you for always being by my side, telling me to be myself, and encouraging me to do it. I think going abroad is the first step I'm taking, and I will never let myself down, nor will I let you down."

Xu Zhiye had originally just wanted to ask Nan Qiuyue, "How are you doing lately?" But as he typed, the words piled up, and everything he wanted to say came pouring out.

After the message was sent successfully, Xu Zhi began to wait for Nan Qiuyue's reply. In the past, she always replied to his messages quickly, but this time he waited for a long time and still did not get any message from Nan Qiuyue.

Xu Zhiye then felt something was wrong. He called Nan Qiuyue, but the message on the other end was "The phone is turned off." Xu Zhiye thought that the battery might be out of power, so he waited for a day and called again at the same time, but got the same cold tone.

After making the call for three consecutive days, Xu Zhi could no longer deceive himself. He knew very well that Nan Qiuyue's phone turning off was not a coincidence.

Xu Zhi also immediately called Yan Wei.

"Why did you think of calling me? Do you know how worried your parents are about you, especially your mom?"

Before Yan Wei received Xu Zhiye's call, he was actually a little angry. After Xu Zhiye went abroad, he realized that he had been preparing to study abroad for a long time.

Not to mention that he had secretly transferred flights without telling his family. After receiving Xu Zhiye's call, he felt better, but he also wanted to have a good talk with him. He was really too impulsive this time. It was different outside than in China. There were too many unsafe factors.

"Don't worry, I've already contacted my parents. Everything is fine here. I can handle it myself."

Xu Zhi also knew that Yan Wei cared about him.

After instructing Yan Wei on some household matters, Xu Zhi turned the topic to Nan Qiuyue.

"Before I left, I had made an appointment with your sister and the others to go to South City Old Street, but things were so chaotic at the time that I forgot to tell them before I boarded the plane. I wonder if they were... angry?"

Xu Zhi also deliberately did not specify who he was dating, making Yan Wei think that he had dated more than just Nan Qiuyue. Yan Wei was a carefree person and would not think about it carefully.

"Them? They've been doing fine lately."

Yan Wei really didn't notice the weirdness in Xu Zhiye's words. He had known for a long time that Nan Qiuyue and Xu Zhiye had a good relationship. It was normal for her to bring Luo Luo and Xu Zhiye to play together. They were all brothers and sisters.

Nan Qiuyue and the others really had nothing to be unhappy about. When Yan Wei came home, Nan Qiuyue would always play and joke with Luo Luo, and they were extremely happy every day.

"When you were gone, Qiuyue had a high fever. My uncle made her delicious food every day and took her out for a walk before returning to the northern suburbs. This girl is so happy, with the whole family revolving around her. Now, after school every day, Luo Luo and I finish our homework together. One practices painting, and the other learns piano. Then we exchange ideas and share our experiences. We live a more comfortable life than anyone else. Being an elementary school student is really good."

Yan Wei couldn't help but sigh. He had experiments to do and endless reports to write every day, and no one told him that studying medicine was so tiring.

"Nan Qiuyue is sick again? When?"

Xu Zhi on the other end of the phone also frowned. It had only been a short time since he was discharged from the hospital, so why was he sick again?

"The day you left the country."

On the day Xu Zhiye went abroad, he received a call from home saying that Nan Qiuyue had a fever in Beijing. He was too busy at the time and did not go there immediately.

Xu Zhi was also stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know that Nan Qiuyue must have known that he was going abroad when she was sick, and without telling her.

So, she turned off her phone because she was angry with him.

"Give me Nan Qiuyue's phone number. I stood them up, and I want to apologize to them in person."

Xu Zhi also thought that since Nan Qiuyue turned off the phone he gave her, she must have bought a new phone.

"Where did Nan Qiuyue get this cell phone? I heard she never wanted to buy one, saying it would interfere with her studies. I think she's become stupid from studying too much."

When Yan Wei heard this for the first time, he was amazed that Nan Qiuyue had such awareness, which opened his eyes.

Now it was Xu Zhi's turn to be confused. Hadn't Nan Qiuyue been using the phone he gave her?

Yan Wei didn’t know?
