Spring River Chasing the Moon

In September, Nan Qiuyue started school and officially became a sophomore.

On the first day of school, since there were no classes in the morning, Nan Qiuyue practiced painting at home for a while.

The cell phone next to her rang. Nan Qiuyue picked up the phone and saw that it was Xu Zhi who sent her a message.

"School starts today?"

Nan Qiuyue immediately put down her pen and replied to Xu Zhiye.

"Well, I'll go back to school after lunch."

Less than a minute after the message was successfully sent, Xu Zhiye's message came back?

"Does the driver at home send you there?"

Nan Qiuyue blinked, not knowing why Xu Zhiye suddenly asked this, but she still answered him honestly.

"No, I plan to take the bus to and from school from now on."

Xu Zhi also replied her with an "OK" and didn't say anything else. Nan Qiuyue was a little confused, so she had to put down her phone and continue drawing.

"Qiuyue, do you want to have lunch with grandma?"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhu Yuying came over from her yard.

Seeing Nan Qiuyue practicing painting in a corner of the living room, he nodded in response to her and then began to concentrate on painting again.

Zhu Yuying sat down next to her, picked up the paper beside her and read it carefully.

"Grandma Qiyue really likes this painting. Can you give it to her? Your grandfather and I happen to be missing a painting like this in our room. I plan to hang it on the wall. What do you think?"

Zhu Yuying liked the painting more and more the more she looked at it.

Nan Qiuyue put down her paintbrush, leaned close to Zhu Yuying and said, "Grandma, wait for me to take this painting outside to have it framed, and then give it to you and Grandpa."

Nan Qiuyue smiled sweetly, with a playful look in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and Zhu Yuying's heart softened.

"What should we have for lunch?"

Zhu Yuying touched her granddaughter's hair with a loving look on her face.

"How about I make seafood noodles? I have braised pork ribs made by my dad at home. They taste great when added to noodles."

Nan Qiuyue thought for a moment and said to Zhu Yuying.

"Will it be too tiring? You can ask Auntie to cook."

Zhu Yuying knew that Nan Qiuyue didn't want to trouble her aunt. Since the three of them moved next door, Nan Qiuyue rarely bothered her aunt with anything. Most of the time, it was her aunt who took the initiative to help.

"No, making noodles is not complicated. Grandma, just wait and taste my cooking skills."

Nan Qiuyue lowered her head, picked up the pen, drew the last few strokes, and after cleaning up, she took out the braised pork ribs from the refrigerator and took Zhu Yuying to her kitchen.

"Auntie, don't bother with lunch, let me make it."

As soon as she entered the room, Nan Qiuyue called out to Aunt Nan affectionately.

Seeing that her aunt looked a little embarrassed, Zhu Yuying smiled and spoke up.

"This child wants to do it for us, so you should take a good rest. You are not polite to your family."

Since Zhu Yuying said so, Aunt Nan couldn't be so hypocritical anymore.

"Hey, hey...thank you Qiyue then."

Aunt Nan wiped her hands on her apron, but she was still busy.

"Then I'll help you out."

Nan Qiuyue shook her hand and said, "No, no, grandma, auntie, just sit down and rest."

With that, Nan Qiuyue went to the kitchen alone.

"This child is so sensible."

Looking at Nan Qiuyue busy in the kitchen, Aunt Nan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's been more than ten years since Qiuyue and the others returned to the Nan family."

Zhu Yuying also lamented that time really passed too quickly.

Zhu Yuying first met Nan Qiuyue in Jinghe. She and Yulin examined the heart of the five-year-old child together. She liked the child very much when they first met. She didn't expect that she was Li Muzhi's granddaughter, and she didn't expect that she was actually her own granddaughter.

In less than twenty minutes, three bowls of steaming noodles were served on the table.

Each bowl is added with some shredded eggs, river shrimps and clams, plus Nan Youzhao's braised pork ribs.

"Grandma, Auntie, come and eat."

Nan Qiuyue set the table and sat down, waiting for Zhu Yuying and the others to start eating.

"Qiuyue, did you move to the new campus this year?"

As Zhu Yuying was eating, she suddenly remembered what Nan Qingqing said, that Nan Qiuyue and the other sophomores and juniors and some graduate students would move from the old campus to the new campus.

"Yes, we are going to the new campus. Mom and my aunt are still in the old campus. I won't be able to go to school with Mom and them anymore. But the only good thing is that the new campus is closer to home. I don't have to get up so early to have early classes."

Nan Qiuyue did not choose to live on campus when she went to college, but chose to commute every day, mainly because she was reluctant to leave home.

For Nan Qiuyue, there was actually nothing worth reminiscing about her college life in her previous life. Be it classmates or roommates, most of them were just acquaintances, and they had no contact after graduation.

So in this life, Nan Qiuyue did not have too much expectation for the so-called friendship of classmates in college, and simply chose to go back and forth every day.

"Grandma, there is a direct bus from the new campus to my home, so I want to take the bus to school by myself in the future, and I don't need to ask the driver to take me there."

This is something Nan Qiuyue has thought about for a long time. Her family is always worried that she will be in danger outside, so they send a driver to pick her up and drop her off at school, also to protect her safety.

However, she still wants to keep a low profile at school. Nan Qiuyue hopes that all her achievements at school and the people who approach her are because of her own strength, because she is herself, and not because of her identity.

When Nan Qiuyue made this request, Zhu Yuying knew that she must have thought it over carefully. Her little granddaughter had never caused her family any worries since she was a child and had always been the most independent. Zhu Yuying did not ask why and nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Nan Qiuyue packed her bag at home and walked to the bus stop opposite the compound to take the bus to school.

After waiting at the platform for less than ten minutes, Nan Qiuyue did not wait for the bus, but a familiar black car stopped in front of her.

Nan Qiuyue couldn't believe it and her body froze and didn't move forward.

The car window slowly rolled down, and Nan Qiuyue saw Xu Zhiye's cold face in the driver's seat.

He turned and looked at himself, his eyes clear.

"boarding."

"Take you to school."
