Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Qiuyue didn't expect that the process of waiting for the food to be served would be so painful.

The two of them sat face to face, neither of them speaking.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Nan Qiuyue had already drunk two cups of tea. When she picked up the teacup again, Xu Zhi stopped her.

"If you drink any more, will you still be able to eat dinner?"

Xu Zhiye was actually a little at a loss. He had been away for too long, so long that he didn't know how to start a conversation with Nan Qiuyue.

"I can eat that."

Nan Qiuyue replied in a low voice, but still listened to Xu Zhiye's words and silently put down the water cup in her hand.

"Sophomore year?"

Xu Zhi also looked at the little girl's evasive eyes and asked her.

"Well, school is about to start."

Nan Qiuyue nodded in response.

"grown up."

Xu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

But when Nan Qiuyue heard this, she wasn't so happy. He was always like this, always looking at her from the perspective of an elder.

Nan Qiuyue suddenly stopped talking again, and Xu Zhi didn't know why her mood changed again.

Just as he was about to ask for clarification, the waiter started serving the dishes. Nan Qiuyue picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Xu Zhi had no choice but to start eating.

After dinner, the two of them didn't talk about anything.

After dinner, Xu Zhi also made a phone call and asked the driver to drive over to pick them up.

A familiar car stopped at the restaurant entrance, and the driver got out of the driver's seat and opened the door for them.

Nan Qiuyue looked at the driver and remembered that he was the driver of Xu Zhiye in her previous life.

I don’t know how to describe my mood at this moment. It seems that everything is the same as in the previous life, but everything is also different.

Xu Zhi also made a gesture and protected Nan Qiuyue and got into the car first.

Nan Qiuyue had noticed his actions, and Xu Zhi was always so nice.

Even if they were just strangers in their previous life, he was willing to help him.

"Thank you."

Before getting on the car, Nan Qiuyue said something awkwardly to Xu Zhiye.

Xu Zhiye paused as he was about to close the door, looked down at the people in the car, sighed, and gently closed the door.

Xu Zhi also got in the car and asked the driver to drive to the compound and send Nan Qiuyue home first.

"When did you return home?"

The vehicle began to move forward slowly, with only the gentle piano music flowing slowly in the carriage.

Nan Qiuyue plucked up her courage and asked the people around her softly.

"Just arrived today." Xu Zhi also replied.

Nan Qiuyue didn't expect this answer. She ran into him just after he came back from abroad.

This... could it be considered as God giving me a chance?

"When you come back this time...will you leave again?"

Nan Qiuyue cautiously glanced at the person next to her several times, and finally asked the question that concerned her most.

After asking, Nan Qiuyue seemed afraid to listen to his answer. She just leaned against the car window, watching the scenery flashing by outside, and stopped talking.

"You're still... mad at me... aren't you?"

When Nan Qiuyue thought that time was just passing by minute by minute, Xu Zhiye spoke slowly in a soft voice.

Hearing Xu Zhiye's question, Nan Qiuyue tensed up unconsciously. She didn't expect Xu Zhiye to ask it so directly.

"I am not angry."

Nan Qiuyue was unwilling to admit that she was indeed angry at that time, but for her, the sadness and grievance had been slowly digested by herself over time.

Xu Zhi also turned his head and stared at her profile without saying a word.

Nan Qiuyue was not unaware that he was always looking at her. Even though she pretended to be indifferent, she was still very nervous when Xu Zhi looked at her like that.

"Why are you staring at me?"

After a long while, Nan Qiuyue turned around, her face flushed, and said angrily.

Looking at her like this, Xu Zhi felt like he was back to the past, when Nan Qiuyue was always carefree and cheerful in front of him.

"You said you weren't angry, but from the moment we met until now, what's wrong with you? You don't even want to call me brother?"

Xu Zhi also said this and reached out to pinch Nan Qiuyue's face.

"Brother, I want to say sorry to you. I originally wanted to say goodbye to you properly. I didn't expect that the time to go abroad would be so rushed. By the time I got there, my phone was out of battery. Later, I got a new phone, and when I tried to contact you again, your phone was turned off."

"But it's all my fault. I apologize."

In the past, Xu Zhi was always gentle and polite in front of Nan Qiuyue. This was the first time that I saw a different side of him.

He just looked at her quietly, trying to comfort her for the grievances she had suffered in the past, and whispered words of apology.

Nan Qiuyue admitted that she was useless and was coaxed into submission by him immediately.

But who can resist such a Xu Zhiye?

He is just the same as in her memory. No matter how many times he comes, he will always be the one who makes her fall in love at first sight.

Nan Qiuyue secretly glanced at Xu Zhiye's face, then quickly turned her head back. She felt inexplicably stuffy in the car. She pressed the window button in a panic, opening a crack, feeling the natural breeze and forcing herself to calm down.

"What's wrong? Is the temperature in the car too high?"

Xu Zhiye thought that the air conditioning in the car was not strong enough, so she opened the window and was about to ask the driver to adjust the temperature when she was stopped by Nan Qiuyue.

"No, no, I just... I'm full and feel a little carsick."

"Opening the windows for ventilation is much better."

The air conditioning in the car was already strong enough. Nan Qiuyue actually felt a little cold as soon as she got in the car, and she didn't open the window because of the temperature.

"Still uncomfortable?"

Xu Zhi also looked at Nan Qiuyue leaning against the wind and asked her with concern.

"Much better. Maybe it's because I just had a meal and then got in a car right away."

Nan Qiuyue raised her hand to close the car window, indicating that she was feeling much better. Seeing that she looked normal, Xu Zhi finally felt relieved.

"I won't leave again."

"When I came back this time, I was officially hired."

"When I left, it was simply to escape my grandfather's control. I never thought of staying abroad forever. I know I'll have to come back one day, because here are my family and... friends..."

When talking about friends, Xu Zhi also paused, and his burning gaze fell on Nan Qiuyue.

Nan Qiuyue paused, and when she tried to confirm his gaze, Xu Zhi had already looked forward, his eyes not lingering on her.

Nan Qiuyue suspected that she had been wrong just now, or perhaps she was too nervous, so she had an illusion for a moment.

However, Nan Qiuyue was still particularly happy about what Xu Zhiye said.

She no longer has to worry about whether he will quietly disappear from her world one day.

When the car slowed down and stopped, Nan Qiuyue realized that they had arrived at the gate of the compound.

"Then I'm going home."

Nan Qiuyue was very reluctant to leave, but there was nothing she could do. It was too late today, otherwise she would have liked to stay with him a little longer.

Just as Nan Qiuyue was about to get off the car, Xu Zhi also grabbed her wrist.

"Wait a moment."

Nan Qiuyue felt the warmth of his fingers and felt a little overwhelmed.

But Xu Zhi didn’t understand what she was thinking, so he just took out his cell phone and handed it to Nan Qiuyue.

"Save your contact information and send me a message when you get home."

Nan Qiuyue obediently took his phone, saved her number in the address book, and then called her own phone.

"Then when you get home, send me a message too."

When she said this, Nan Qiuyue's heart was beating wildly.

Although this didn't mean anything at all, she still felt that things between them could be different.

After getting out of the car, Nan Qiuyue slowly walked into the compound. After Xu Zhiye's car left, she covered her heart and ran back home quickly.

"came back."

Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili sat in the living room, watching TV and waiting for Nan Qiuyue to come home.

"Mom and Dad, good evening~"

Nan Qiuyue's tone was so excited that Nan Youzhao and his wife were a little confused.

"When did that kid Tomoya come back? Did you guys have an appointment today?"

Chen Lili was a little confused. Could it be that her daughter had been in contact with Xu Zhiye in recent years?

"No, we just happened to run into each other. It seems Tomoya-nii works in the central square."

Nan Qiuyue then realized that she had forgotten to ask why he appeared there.

Xu Zhiye's company seems to be different from that in his previous life. His office address in his previous life was not in the central square.

"I'm going to wash up first. Good night, Mom and Dad."

Nan Qiuyue said hello to her parents, then hurried back to her room and found the cell phone she had left in the room.

I immediately saved the missed call.

"I am home."

Nan Qiuyue sent a message to the other end of the phone.

The reply came quickly, “Well, I’ll be a little longer.”

Looking at Xu Zhiye's reply, Nan Qiuyue felt sweet in her heart. She felt the so-called joy of regaining what was lost.

Suddenly remembering something, Nan Qiuyue took out the cell phone from the drawer.

Ever since Xu Zhiye left, she has never opened this phone again and doesn't know if it can still be used.

After plugging in the charger, Nan Qiuyue pressed the power button, and fortunately it turned on normally.

As Nan Qiuyue's heartbeat went on, the screen lit up little by little.

The phone turned on successfully, and within a few seconds, there was a message alert sound, and the screen clearly read, "526 unread messages."

Nan Qiuyue's heart seemed to be suddenly hit by something, and she stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
