Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Qiuyue turned sideways and pulled the quilt to cover her whole body. She felt like she was almost ripe and could not believe that she had been so bold in the car just now and had approached Xu Zhiye under the influence of alcohol.

But Xu Zhi didn't push her away... Nan Qiuyue felt her face getting even hotter when she thought of this.

That night, Nan Qiuyue tossed and turned, unable to calm down.

On the other hand, Xu Zhiye worked overtime at the company until midnight before returning to the apartment he bought near Lanjing.

Xu Zhiye, who took off his clothes and prepared to wash, suddenly smelled the scent of Nan Qiuyue on his clothes, and paused before throwing the clothes into the laundry basket.

Xu Zhi also tried to control himself from thinking about what happened at night, but the opposite happened.

After taking a shower, he unknowingly came to the study. This house was bought after he returned to China. The rooms were empty and there was nothing in them.

In the study, there are books he brought back from abroad, as well as the gifts and handwritten letters that Nan Qiuyue gave him every time he was in high school when he moved out of home.

Xu Zhi was also very grateful to Nan Qiuyue for taking care of him and sharing with him during that time. Although he was still a child, he always wanted him to have a little fun in his repetitive life.

Sitting at the desk, Xu Zhi also opened the box and began to look through it.

Half of the things Nan Qiuyue had given him were snacks, which he had already eaten.

The rest were some interesting little gadgets, which he kept well, and he would take them out to look at from time to time.

Xu Zhi also turned to the last iron box, which was filled with small notes written by Nan Qiuyue.

When she first asked Xie Zhouxing to send it to her, it was obvious that it was carefully selected. From the letter paper to the envelope, everything was exquisite, and occasionally there were a few clusters of beautiful flowers pasted on the seal.

After a year, the notes became more and more casual, but the content was still very rich every time.

In addition to sharing daily life with him, he would also tell a few funny jokes or draw some funny expressions.

Xu Zhi also remembered that she would come to Nanyang whenever she had time. They would just sit on the playground most of the time, looking at the sky and the classmates running and jumping on the playground. Even if they didn't say a word, they would feel very happy.

During those years, because of Nan Qiuyue's company, Xu Zhiye's mentality was always relaxed.

Looking at these notes again, Xu Zhi seemed to have returned to the past. All the fatigue from the recent busy work at the company was swept away in an instant.

After reading most of the letters, Xu Zhi suddenly realized that at the end of each letter, Nan Qiuyue had written a message for him.

"May you live thousands of years, never without spring."

"Life is short, I should not let God down."

"At four o'clock in the morning, I saw the crabapple blossoms still awake."

“Every moment is a good moment, every day is a good day.”

"The full moon resides in the night sky."

"Everything and I are absurdly silent."

……

Xu Zhi also read it sentence by sentence and found something was not right. Except for some of the sentences wishing him to get better and better.

The rest seemed to be sentences about emotions. There were a few that he didn't understand at the time, but now he knows they are all sentences expressing love.

For example, “Everything and I are in absurd silence”, and the next sentence is “I miss you at this moment”.

Xu Zhi is also a science student, and he did not have such a deep understanding of literary works before.

Later, when I went abroad, I saw many original works in the school library. I wanted to improve my foreign language skills, so I read a lot of works when I had time.

In order to confirm his guess, Xu Zhi also turned on the computer and started searching sentence by sentence.

"Life is short, I should not let God down. Since God let me live, it is so that I can love you."

"At four o'clock in the morning, I saw the crabapple blossoms still awake, and I always felt that you should be by my side at this time."

"You live quietly in my heart, just like the full moon in the night sky."

……

After the search was completed, Xu Zhiye gently put the last note aside. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment.

It seems that Nan Qiuyue only wrote half of all the sentences expressing love, and she hid the other more direct and obvious half. Does this mean that she is also secretly hiding something?

"Nan Qiuyue likes me?"

As soon as this thought came to mind, Xu Zhi felt his heart begin to tremble.

Thinking of the evening, her small, soft body leaning against him, her face rosy and slightly drunk, looking at him hazily, calling his name, talking about how much she missed him over the years, her tone filled with grievance and sobs.

But he also felt that it was unlikely. How old was Nan Qiuyue back then? How could she understand all this? What's more, she has grown up now. The inexplicable admiration or love she had for him in her childhood may have disappeared with time.

Xu Zhi also raised his hand to turn off the computer, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

A voice kept ringing in Xu Zhiye's mind.

"What about yourself?"
