Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Qiuyue didn't know what Xu Zhi had done for her.

She just felt that since Nan Yinbei went abroad to study, her life at school had suddenly become much quieter.

For some reason, Nan Younian and his wife suddenly became much more obedient and came to the Nan family less and less often.

This actually made Nan Qiuyue feel a little uncomfortable. She always felt that their family would not let go of the opportunity to get close to the Nan family.

Without Nan Younian's family causing trouble, and without Xu Zhi by her side, Nan Qiuyue lived her life as usual every day. Day after day, year after year, time passed quickly.

-

In the summer of 2010, the weather was hot and dry.

It has been a year since Nan Qiuyue enrolled in Nancheng University. After this summer vacation, she will be a sophomore.

A year ago, after the college entrance examination, Nan Qiuyue insisted on choosing her favorite architecture department, which surprised her family as they thought she would choose Chinese painting as her major.

However, no one in the Nan family said anything. They believed that the family members could do whatever they liked and their family would always support them.

They just told Nan Qiuyue to have a good conversation with her grandfather.

Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying both felt that Chen Ze had high expectations for Nan Qiuyue, but they didn't expect that she chose architecture halfway through, and they were afraid that she would hurt Chen Ze's feelings.

In fact, before Nan Qiuyue took the college entrance examination, she had already communicated her thoughts clearly with Chen Ze.

Nan Qiuyue knew very well that in her previous life, she and her grandfather had fallen into deep misunderstandings due to lack of communication, as these two stubborn people were just that.

Of course, it was all her own fault at the time. She mistakenly believed Yang Qian's instigation and was almost unable to empathize with her grandfather.

So this time, she knew that her choice might still make her grandfather sad, but Nan Qiuyue still decided to communicate with Chen Ze and make it clear that she really liked architecture.

And she would not give up Chinese painting just to study architecture.

But what Nan Qiuyue never expected was that Chen Ze was not surprised or disappointed, but encouraged and supported her choice.

After Nan Qiuyue told Chen Ze about her ideas, he took out Nan Qiuyue's drawings from childhood to adulthood, each of which he had carefully preserved and classified.

"I've taught you to draw many things, and while you can express them well on paper, only in this painting do I see your true feelings and the soul of your painting."

Chen pointed his finger at a pile of drawing papers beside him, which were filled with Nan Qiuyue's daily essays. Each sheet was a drawing of various buildings she had drawn, as well as some of her design drawings.

Chen Ze often stayed in the studio, looking at the drawings, feeling extremely proud.

Nan Qiuyue has talent, but she has never been arrogant. Over the years, she has continued to study hard. Now, her level has long exceeded her own expectations.

"You have talent. In recent years, Grandpa has sometimes felt that he can't teach you anything. So, it would be good for you to go to school and get more exposure to other areas."

"What Grandpa wants to tell you is that no matter what we Qiuyue want to do, Grandpa and your grandmother will support you unconditionally. Our only wish is that you children are healthy and happy and do what you love."

Nan Qiuyue couldn't help but tear up when she heard this. No matter in the past life or this life, the love of her grandfather would always be with her.

"Grandpa, thank you."

Nan Qiuyue approached Chen Ze and leaned gently on his shoulder, acting coquettishly.

"Also, I'm sorry."

Nan Qiuyue silently apologized for her previous life self in her heart. She was too stupid. In her previous life, she always felt that Chen Ze was trying to control her, so she resisted fiercely.

But how could he?

It's like at this moment, she has studied Chinese painting for so many years, but she wants to study architectural design, and Chen didn't say a word of objection.

"Grandpa, there's actually a most important reason why I didn't choose the Chinese Painting Department. I already have the best teacher, so I don't need anyone else to teach me anything."

Nan Qiuyue hugged Chen Ze's arm tightly and whispered.

Although this statement was a bit arrogant, what Nan Qiuyue said was true.

Many of the current teachers in the Chinese Painting Department of Nancheng University were Chen Ze’s former students, and some of them she met were called senior brothers and sisters. If she were to become their student again, wouldn’t it mess up the generations?

Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Ze laughed heartily.

"You."

He tapped Nan Qiuyue's forehead.

"You only know how to make grandpa happy."

"I'm not kidding you. You are the best teacher and the best grandfather in the world."

At this point, Nan Qiuyue successfully received the admission letter from the Department of Architecture of Nancheng University and officially became a college student.

-

"Qiuyue, do you want to go out and watch a movie together tomorrow? There's a new comedy that came out recently, and I saw all the reviews say it's good. Invite Luo Luo and we can go together."

That day, when Nan Qiuyue was helping Zhu Yuying take care of the yard at home, she received a call from Tang Li.

Tang Li successfully passed the entrance exam to Nancheng University of Political Science and Law last year. No one would have thought that the girl who loved to chase stars crazily back then wanted to become a prosecutor.

Luo Luo, on the other hand, has never changed her hobbies. She has been studying piano diligently since she was a child and successfully passed the entrance exam to study piano performance at the Conservatory of Music. Her biggest dream is to hold her own concert.

"Li Zi, I may not have much time tomorrow. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow, and I want to give him a surprise."

Nan Youzhao is no longer in the northern suburbs. His current position is chief of staff. His office is in the city, so he can go home every day.

A few years ago, based on Nan Youzhao's position, he was also allocated a house in the compound, just across the wall from Nanzhou Yue and the others.

Nan Qiuyue's family moved next door, but they demolished the wall in the middle of the yard, so they could visit each other directly without leaving the yard, just like they lived together before.

After all, the children are grown up now. Although Nan Qingqing and Nan Youmin have their own houses, they only return to the compound a few times a week.

However, after returning to the Nan family, the children could no longer share a room with their parents. When Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili were decorating the house, they did not set up a study, but instead left an extra bedroom for the family to live in.

Nan Qiuyue likes her current life very much, as the family is gathered together in peace and harmony.

Tomorrow is Nan Youzhao's birthday, and Nan Qiuyue plans to give him a surprise.

"Li Zi, I wanted to invite you to my house for dinner tomorrow. Luo Luo will also be there. Please help me prepare a surprise."

Nan Qiuyue said to Tang Li on the other end of the phone that they had been playing together since childhood, and the parents of several families were very familiar with each other. Nan Qiuyue was not polite and she needed Tang Li to help her decorate her room.

"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow."

Tang Li likes the atmosphere in the Nan family very much. Unlike her parents who are busy every day, Tang Li's parents have gone out of town to attend some academic conference these days. She is really bored at home alone during the holidays.

Nan Qiuyue's parents are very kind. Every time she visits, her uncle and aunt are very welcoming. Tang Li often stays at Nan's house for several days.

The next day, Tang Li prepared a birthday present for Nan Qiuyue's father and also brought a few extra sets of clothes. Since her parents were not at home, he planned to let Nan Qiuyue take her in for a few days.

It was almost time, and when Tang Li went out, he saw Nan Qiuyue's family car, which had parked in front of her door on time.

"Chestnut, come quickly."

Luo Luo sat in the back seat, rolled down the window and called Tang Li.

"coming."

Tang Li got into the car with bags of things.

"Your parents are not home again?"

Seeing Tang Li carrying his clothes, Luo Luo knew without hesitation that Uncle Tang and the others had gone out again.

"Yeah, I can only let Qiuyue take me in for a few days. You guys have been busy not playing with me these past few days, and I'm almost bored to death."

"I'm sorry, I'm working part-time at a restaurant lately, but I won't be going later. I can spend more time with you."

In order to reduce the burden on his grandmother, Luo Luo would go to a restaurant to work as a waiter or play the piano for a while during every holiday.

"I know, you don't have to say sorry."

Tang Li knew Luo Luo's situation. When she saw Luo Luo apologizing to her, she cursed herself in her heart.

He clearly knew the situation at Luo Luo's home, yet he still complained in front of her.

"Luo Luo, you have to take good care of yourself, okay? You still have me and Qiuyue."

Among the three, Tang Li is the one with the stronger personality in all aspects. She has always claimed to be the eldest among them, and she has to take on the responsibility of taking care of Nan Qiuyue and Luo Luo.

"Luo Luo, I have a relative who works in the entertainment and culture industry. You can submit your music to their company. If they like it, the copyright fee will be quite high."

Tang Li knew that Luo Luo had always been unwilling to accept help from others for nothing. The Nan family had helped her, and now she had made some money, including her scholarship. Except for giving it to Grandma Luo, the rest was used to repay the Nan family.

Otherwise, according to the Nan family's love for her, Luo Luo would be no different from their own child, and she wouldn't need to work so hard now, so she could only find some less strenuous jobs for her.

It just so happened that she had an uncle who had just opened a new company and was looking for good music to include in the company's music library. She had heard Luo Luo's homemade music and thought there was definitely hope.

"really?"

Luo Luo was indeed surprised to hear the news.

"Well, I'll give you his contact information later. I've already told him that you can contact him without worry. My uncle is very reliable and he's not one of those scam companies."

"Thank you, Chestnut."

Luo Luo knew Tang Li’s intentions and she was very grateful.

"Don't be so cheesy. When you get the copyright fee, I'm going to have a good meal."

Tang Li turned his head away, not wanting to be so fussy.

"Ah."

Luo Luo nodded obediently.

Tang Li was so adorable by her. Compared to the three of them, she herself was carefree and heartless.

Nan Qiyue is like a rose blooming under the moonlight.

"The withered red is half gone, but the fragrance remains, the roses are in the wind in the evening."

And Luo Luo is like a crabapple flower in the rain.

"The crabapple blossoms, despite their rouge color, stand alone in the misty drizzle."
