Spring River Chasing the Moon

After chatting with Zhu Yuying and the others for a while, Nan Qiuyue returned to her room, planning to import the photos she took today into her computer and organize them.

This is Nan Qiuyue's personal habit. Every time she takes a photo, she will save it one by one according to the time.

This way you can clearly see the changes in the same place at different times.

This time too, Nan Qiuyue took out the card reader, removed the memory card from the camera, and then carefully selected it on the computer. She took more than just one photo of many places and began the tangled journey of making a difficult choice.

A lot of photos were taken today. Nan Qiuyue sat there for more than two hours. Her eyes were sore and she was a little sleepy. There were only a few photos left that were taken of the central square on the second floor of the restaurant. Nan Qiuyue perked up and opened her eyes wide, ready to select a few and then end.

Just as she was hesitating between the two photos, a familiar figure in the photo caught Nan Qiuyue's attention.

Nan Qiuyue rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and repeatedly looked at the side face she captured in the photo, which suddenly overlapped with the appearance in her memory.

Nan Qiuyue re-opened all the photos taken in the restaurant. Because there were quite a lot of people in the central square at that time, she was only taking pictures of the buildings and didn't pay any attention to the crowd below.

In the photo, she clearly captured the man getting out of the car and entering a building.

"It's really Xu Zhiye!"

"He is back?"

These two sentences suddenly appeared in Nan Qiuyue's mind, and she ran downstairs without thinking.

"Mom, I'm going out for a while. Don't wait for me for dinner."

After saying this, Nan Qiuyue got into the car without even waiting for Chen Lili's response.

"To the central square."

The driver of the Nan family has worked diligently for the Nan family for half his life, and Nan Qiuyue grew up under his care. The driver had never seen her so anxious and hurried before. He thought something had happened and quickly sent the car away.

After the vehicle drove out, the Nan family driver suddenly reacted, looked at Nan Qiuyue's face in the rearview mirror, and asked with concern.

"What happened?"

The driver was afraid that Nan Qiuyue was in trouble. He knew that the child had been sensible since childhood and had never caused any trouble for the family.

But if something happens, I still can't go out alone. What if there is danger?

Sitting in the car and looking at the scenes outside the window, Nan Qiuyue's emotions gradually calmed down.

"It's okay. I left something there this morning. I'll go look for it."

Nan Qiuyue didn't want others to know, so she just made up a lie.

"Is it something important? Do we need to call the police?"

The driver breathed a sigh of relief knowing it wasn't any trouble.

It’s not a big deal if you lose something. There are surveillance cameras in the central square. If it’s particularly important, it shouldn’t be difficult to retrieve it by calling the police and investigating the surveillance.

"It's okay. It's nothing valuable. Just a few drawings. If I can't find them, that's fine."

Nan Qiuyue was afraid that the driver would really call the police, so she could only say that it was an insignificant matter.

After hearing this, the driver stopped talking. Since Nan Qiuyue said so, if he said anything more, he would be meddling in other people's business.

Soon the car stopped near the central square. Before getting off, Nan Qiuyue asked the driver to go home first.

"Uncle, you go back first. I have an appointment with someone for dinner later. I will go back by myself then."

After the driver drove away, Nan Qiuyue walked to the door of the building and looked at its towering appearance. She felt extremely nervous and flustered for a moment.

"Hello, which floor would you like to go to?"

The security guard at the door asked for registration according to the rules and regulations, and Nan Qiuyue was speechless for a moment.

Only then did she realize why she always became so impulsive whenever something happened to Xu Zhiye. What could she do standing here now?

I didn't even know which floor he was on or whether he was still in the building. I just came here aimlessly.

Nan Qiuyue felt a little embarrassed and asked cautiously while looking at the security guard.

"Uncle Security, I don't know which floor the person I'm looking for is on, but he came here at noon, wearing a black suit. Do you remember him?"

The security guard shook his head. To be honest, most of the men working here wore black or dark suits. How could he remember them all?

"Then can I wait for him here in the hall? I promise not to disturb your work."

Nan Qiuyue raised her hand in assurance.

The little girl was well-behaved and sensible, and spoke politely and courteously. The security guard thought of his own child and didn't want to kick her out.

"Why don't you go sit over there for a while? The companies upstairs basically close at five o'clock. If the person you're looking for works here, they'll probably be down by five or six."

Nan Qiuyue nodded and said "thank you" to the security guard with a smile.

Then he sat quietly on the bench in the hall and waited.

She silently told herself that she would wait until seven o'clock in the evening at the latest. If Xu Zhi did not show up, she would not wait any longer.

Because she was in a hurry to find out, she didn't bring any cash or cell phone with her. Her family would worry if she left too late.

Just as Nan Qiuyue was sitting downstairs, watching the time pass by, Xu Zhi was holding a meeting in the Lanjing conference room on the 16th floor.

He and Zhou An's flight was delayed for some time, and they arrived in Nancheng at noon.

Zhou An got off the plane and returned home, while Xu Zhi was called by Lin Yi and directly summoned to the company for a meeting.

The recent projects are quite important. Not only was Xu Zhi not in the country before, but now he is finally back. Lin Yi quickly handed over the responsibilities to him and immediately felt that his burden was much lighter.

After the meeting, Lin Yi looked at his watch and it was almost half past seven, so he put his arm around Xu Zhiye's shoulder.

"How about you go eat something with me? You haven't been back for so many years, you must not know that South City has completely changed now. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Xu Zhi also shook his head and refused, "I'll go home first."

Lin Yi thought so too, so he said again.

"Next Monday, I'll hold a formal banquet for you and let everyone in the company know that their President Xu is finally back."

Today’s meeting ended so quickly, all thanks to Xu Zhiye.

Xu Zhiye only spent a few minutes to understand several controversial points in the meeting and directly made the best judgment. Several people who were originally dissatisfied with Xu Zhiye were immediately convinced.

"No need. I didn't want to start work so soon. I'll take a week off first. I have other things to deal with."

Lin Yi also felt a little guilty. Xu Zhi had returned to Nancheng and hadn't even returned home yet, but he had already called him to a meeting.

"You should go home first. Your parents must miss you, as well as your grandparents."

"Although your old man hasn't said anything on the surface these past few years, every time someone mentions you at a family gathering, he'd prick up his ears and want to know how you're doing."

Lin Yi could only say this much, and he had no right to persuade Xu Zhi on what to do.

Every family has its own problems, and he believed that Xu Zhi also had his own plans.

"I know. I'll go now."

Xu Zhi also took back his coat and took the elevator downstairs.

Nan Qiuyue downstairs watched the sky getting darker and darker. She didn't bring her cell phone or watch, and just watched wave after wave of people coming down from upstairs, but there was no sign of Xu Zhiye.

Nan Qiuyue curled the corners of her mouth and began to laugh at herself.

She didn't know why she had been sitting here for so long like a fool, but she was reluctant to leave.

"Uncle Security, can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call."

Nan Qiuyue walked up to the security guard and said embarrassedly.

"Excuse me, little girl, we don't allow cell phones during work hours. I only have a walkie-talkie."

The security guard felt embarrassed when he saw Nan Qiuyue's pale face.

"Why don't you wait for someone to come down and ask them. They're sure to have a cell phone with them."

Nan Qiuyue wanted to go outside and borrow someone's cell phone, but she was afraid that once she went out, she might accidentally run into Xu Zhi.

She had never been so conflicted before. She felt that she shouldn't wait any longer, but a voice kept asking herself, what if?

So, she could only lean against the wall near the elevator and wait. If someone got off the elevator, she would go up and borrow a cell phone, call her family to reassure them, and then ask the driver to pick her up later.

With the "ding dong" sound of the elevator, Nan Qiuyue straightened her body nervously.

The elevator door slowly opened. Nan Qiuyue lowered her head and spoke the lines she had prepared for a while directly at the door.

"Hello, can I borrow your cell phone to make a call? I..."

The people in the elevator were getting closer and closer, and Nan Qiuyue saw a pair of leather shoes appear in her sight.

She unconsciously took a step back, slowly raised her head, and met Xu Zhiye's eyes that were as surprised as hers.
