Spring River Chasing the Moon

She just stood in front of him, defenseless.

Xu Zhi also felt his hand on Nan Qiuyue's back being rubbed by her black curly hair from time to time. He was stunned for a moment, pretending to be casual, and changed his posture.

Nan Qiuyue clearly felt Xu Zhiye's hand move away a little, and then he chose to touch her gently with the back of his hand.

"Brother Zhiye, I'm very happy that you came here today."

Nan Qiuyue looked at him and spoke sincerely.

Over the years, every time she celebrated her birthday, she was looking forward to it very much, wondering if Xu Zhi would suddenly appear in front of her and say "Happy Birthday" to her.

But every time, the expectations are met with disappointment.

Although she knew it now, Xu Zhi had always sent her messages on her birthday, but never like this moment when Xu Zhi stood in front of her, making her happy.

Xu Zhi also looked into Nan Qiuyue's eyes. She looked at him with a smile. It was just the most ordinary sentence, but his ears seemed to be tickled by the soft breath, and he felt inexplicably itchy.

"I will definitely come to your birthday."

"Happy birthday."

Xu Zhi also looked at her and spoke slowly.

"Well, thank you."

Hearing Xu Zhiye's gentle response, Nan Qiuyue blushed slightly and nodded.

After the dance ended, Nan Qiuyue and Xu Zhi also sat aside, waiting for the next performance.

There is also a music show today, performed by a band that Nan Qiuyue likes.

Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili knew that Nan Qiuyue liked this person, so they specially invited him here for her.

When Nan Qiuyue heard the news about the performance, she was happy for a long time.

On the one hand, it was because she really liked it, and on the other hand, she was sincerely happy with her current life, and her parents also lived a life that was completely different from their previous life.

In their previous life, their family definitely would not have the mind or ability to invite a band to celebrate a family member's birthday. She was happy about the changes in this life.

"You like them?"

Seeing Nan Qiuyue staring at the band on the stage, Xu Zhi moved closer to her and asked.

"Well, their songs can give people strength and hope."

Nan Qiuyue explained.

Xu Zhi had never liked any celebrity, and didn't quite understand the feeling of girls chasing stars, but seeing Nan Qiuyue's excitement, he also became interested and focused his attention on the music performance.

Nan Qiuyue has been with Xu Zhiye since the beginning, and the two were almost inseparable at the birthday party.

Xu Zhiye also followed Nan Qiuyue to greet the elders of the Nan family one by one, and then gathered with Yan Wei and the others and sat at the same table.

There were some people present who did not know Xu Zhiye, or did not know that it was Xu Zhiye, and they secretly began to discuss privately.

"Who is that? I think he has a close relationship with the Nan family."

Someone asked quietly.

"You don't know him? He's the one from the Xu family who went abroad, but I don't know when he'll return."

"The Xu family and the Nan family are both married to the Yan family. I guess their younger generations have known each other since they were young."

……

"Hey, I heard he was overseas, at G&A, one of the top ten investment banks in the world, and he was almost promoted to partner. I didn't expect him to give up and return to China to develop his career."

"They have the ability, so it doesn't matter where they develop."

When the Xu family was mentioned, everyone suddenly realized that the person opposite was Xu Zhiye, the child of destiny.

But he left Nancheng overnight and went abroad. No one knew the reason why Xu Zhiye went abroad. They just speculated that it was probably the Xu family's plan to train a successor.

However, in recent years, it seems that the Xu family has not made any moves. To outsiders, it is also confusing. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhi is also working in an investment bank abroad. Does this mean he is not planning to go into politics?

At exactly eight o'clock, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and a three-layer cake was pushed out by the staff.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you..."

Everyone present began to clap their hands and sing the birthday song along with the background music.

The cake was pushed in front of Nan Qiuyue and stopped. The candlelight on it flickered. Through the dim candlelight, Nan Qiuyue carefully looked at everyone she loved the most, and her last sight rested on Xu Zhiye.

Just like that, amidst the warm and enthusiastic blessings, the two people looked at each other with an unspoken understanding.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles."

Nan Qiuyue closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

"My first wish is that all my loved ones can be healthy, safe, happy and joyful."

"My second wish is that my studies go smoothly."

"The third wish..."

Nan Qiuyue secretly opened her eyes a little and found that Xu Zhiye was still looking at her. She nervously closed her eyes again and continued to make a wish.

“I hope the person across from me can love me.”
