Spring River Chasing the Moon

How should Nan Qiuyue describe her mood at the moment? Her mind was blank, and when she came to her senses, her feet had already unconsciously wanted to walk out.

She didn't know why she wanted to escape. It was just that for so many years, she seemed to have never thought about what to say or do when they met again.

But before she could take two steps, the person behind her spoke to Nan Qiuyue.

"Don't you want to borrow a cell phone?"

"Give."

Nan Qiuyue paused and slowly turned around. Xu Zhi opposite her was also looking at her as usual. She began to react.

He didn't seem to recognize himself...

As this thought came to mind, Nan Qiuyue felt more and more bitter in her heart.

Looking at him, who was just as noble as he was in her previous life, Nan Qiuyue went from feeling aggrieved to angry.

Humph, if you don’t remember, then don’t remember.

Nan Qiuyue snatched the phone from his hand, walked aside and called Chen Lili.

"Hello, Mom, it's me."

"Yeah, I'll be back soon. Please ask the driver to pick me up at the central square."

"I see……"

Although Nan Qiuyue's voice was very low, because the hall was now quiet and empty, Xu Zhi could hear every word clearly.

Xu Zhi also stared at her intently, watching her act coquettishly while talking on the phone with her mother, just like when she was a child.

He had originally planned to take a rest before meeting her today, but he didn't expect Nan Qiuyue to appear here.

During these years abroad, Xu Zhi had seen Nan Qiuyue's photos countless times on Yan Wei and Xie Zhouxing's social platforms, so he recognized her at a glance.

She was wearing a green halter dress with floral patterns today, paired with a hollowed-out shawl jacket. The little girl had indeed grown a lot taller.

Her black hair is slightly curly and tied into a fluffy bun. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a long time, but the hair in the front is a little messy.

The little face, the size of a palm, was not as round as it was when she was a child. Even though he had seen it in photos many times, now that Nan Qiuyue was standing in front of him, Xu Zhi had to admit that she was even more beautiful and charming than in those photos.

"The little girl... has grown up."

This was Xu Zhiye’s first reaction.

"I'll give it back to you. I've used it..."

Nan Qiuyue ended the call with Chen Lili, walked back to Xu Zhiye and handed him the phone.

"Thank you."

Nan Qiuyue said in a low voice.

After that, Nan Qiuyue didn't know what to say. The driver from home hadn't arrived yet, so she could only wait here.

"Little girl, has the person you are waiting for left long ago?"

Just when Nan Qiuyue was at a loss, the security guard at the door came over to show her concern.

Nan Qiuyue was so embarrassed that she quickly winked at the security guard, asking him to stop talking, but he didn't understand what she meant at all.

"You said you didn't even bring your phone with you when you went out. You've been sitting here waiting since daytime. You should go home early. It's not safe to be alone at night."

The security guard wanted to say something, but Nan Qiuyue interrupted him.

"Uncle, I understand. My family will come to pick me up soon."

Nan Qiuyue felt very ashamed, but Xu Zhi also heard all these words.

"I……"

Nan Qiuyue wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.

Say she is Nan Qiuyue? Ask him if he still remembers her? Tell him that the person she is waiting for is him?

Just when Nan Qiuyue was about to say something, she didn't expect the person opposite to speak.

"have you eaten?"

Nan Qiuyue was stunned when she heard this, and it took her several seconds to realize that Xu Zhi was really talking to her.

"No... not yet."

Before she could finish her words, her stomach growled in agreement, and Nan Qiuyue lowered her head in embarrassment.

Looking at the embarrassed look of the little girl, Xu Zhi sighed silently.

He took out his cell phone and called the call record again.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Xu Zhiye."

Xu Zhiye's words not only stunned Chen Lili on the other end of the conversation, but also Nan Qiuyue was completely stunned, not knowing what was going on.

It took Chen Lili a while to remember who Xu Zhiye was.

"Zhiye? Are you back home? This number isn't..."

Chen Lili was a little surprised. Wasn't this the number her daughter had just called?

So, Nan Qiyue is with Zhiye now?

"Yes, Auntie, we...just happened to meet nearby, and she hasn't had dinner yet. So, Auntie, I want to take Qiuyue to dinner first, and then send her home. Do you think this is okay?"

Xu Zhiye has been the most well-behaved and trustworthy child since he was young. Since he said so, Chen Lili would of course not refuse. However, she still wanted to confirm it. After all, Xu Zhiye had been abroad for too long, and Chen Lili was not sure whether his current number and voice were real.

"Then please give the phone to Qiyue. I want to talk to her again."

Xu Zhi also understood Chen Lili's thoughts, so he handed the phone to Nan Qiuyue.

"Tell your aunt that you are with me now."

Nan Qiuyue was completely stunned. How could things turn out this way?

"Hello, Mom." Nan Qiuyue spoke softly after picking up the phone.

"Are you and Zhiya together?"

Chen Lili asked.

"Ah."

When her family mentioned Xu Zhiye, Nan Qiuyue inexplicably felt as if her secret had been discovered and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Hearing her daughter say this, Chen Lili felt relieved.

"Tomoya has been out for so many years, you should take him for a good walk."

……

"But don't play too late."

Chen Lili instructed her daughter on the phone to treat Xu Zhiye well.

Nan Qiuyue's ears felt hot after hearing this, and she quickly ended the call.

"I see."

After finishing the call, Nan Qiuyue looked at Xu Zhiye, her face slightly hot.

"When did he recognize me? And she just pretended to be a stranger, isn't that ridiculous... I was clearly waiting for him downstairs in his company..."

Questions flashed through Nan Qiuyue's mind one after another, and her expression changed rapidly.

Xu Zhi just looked at her patiently without any hurry.

When Nan Qiuyue came to her senses, she was met with Xu Zhiye's half-smile.

"Let's go... let's go."

Nan Qiuyue thought about finding a restaurant quickly. As long as she tried her best to eat, blocked her mouth, and went home directly, it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

"Have you...had dinner yet?"

Nan Qiuyue thought that he had also come down from the office building upstairs and probably hadn't eaten yet.

"not yet."

Xu Zhi also replied.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Nan Qiuyue recalled what Xu Zhi liked to eat in the past and thought about taking him to eat his favorite food. He had been abroad for so many years and he definitely couldn't taste the authentic Nancheng flavor.

"I'm fine with it. It's up to you."

Nan Qiuyue thought about it and chose a private restaurant nearby. She had been to this restaurant with her family before, and her grandparents said it was very authentic.

After the two of them sat down, Nan Qiuyue took the menu and began to order dishes skillfully.

She picked a few dishes that were safe and generally popular, as well as a few that Xu Zhi also liked in her memory.

No matter what, Xu Zhi is back and he still remembers her. Nan Qiuyue feels very happy. The person she has been thinking about has finally come back.
