Spring River Chasing the Moon

Another half an hour passed before Nan Qiuyue opened her eyes and looked up in a daze, almost forgetting where she was and what she was doing.

"woke up?"

Xu Zhiye's voice came from the side, scaring Nan Qiuyue.

"Let's go and eat."

Xu Zhi also knew that the little girl was shy, so he didn't tease her. He stood up and put on his coat while talking.

"Oh oh oh, okay."

Nan Qiuyue was indeed a little embarrassed. While Xu Zhi was not looking at her, she quickly looked at her current appearance through the glass and touched the area near her mouth. If she had snored and drooled while sleeping just now, she would be really embarrassed.

"What do you want for dinner?"

Xu Zhi also put on his clothes and turned to ask Nan Qiuyue.

"It's all fine, I don't choose."

Nan Qiuyue had no time to think about what to eat.

"Then follow my arrangements."

Nan Qiuyue didn't expect that the restaurant Xu Zhiye took her to was actually an "invitation".

"This is a newly opened restaurant. I wonder if you would like it?"

It was obviously a restaurant he opened, but Xu Zhi pretended to know nothing and introduced it to Nan Qiuyue.

The "Invitation" restaurant was originally managed by Xu Lezhi, but Xu Lezhi had been accustomed to freedom since childhood and was not mature in all aspects of management. Therefore, before Xu Zhiye returned to China, he handed over the entire "Invitation" brand to Zhou An. He did not disappoint Xu Zhiye and managed the restaurant very well.

In addition to restaurants, another part of the "Invitation" brand is jewelry design. However, it does not market and sell to the general public. Instead, it only accepts private customization. Except for special requirements of customers, it basically does not mass-produce, and all designs are unique.

Although Zhou An didn't understand Xu Zhiye's approach at first, jewelry designed by "invitation" was very popular in the upper class circles.

Even the high customization fees and long waiting times did not drive away customers. Instead, it became even more popular in this circle. Zhou An then understood Xu Zhiye's plan. It turned out that people in the same class knew best what the people around them needed.

Nan Qiuyue really didn't know that "Invitation" also opened a branch here in the central square.

When I walked into the restaurant, I felt as if it was just yesterday.

The first time they entered "Invitation" in Nancheng Old Street, she was still wondering when Xu Zhiye would be able to return to China. Unexpectedly, the second time, he would bring her to this restaurant.

"Do you still remember what you promised me before you went abroad?"

Nancheng Old Street is special to Nan Qiuyue, as it is where she first met Xu Zhiye.

Nan Qiuyue asked this suddenly, and Xu Zhi was also stunned for a moment.

Of course he remembered, because they had an appointment, so when he "invited" her to the first restaurant, he chose Nancheng Old Street without hesitation, even though there were better options.

Xu Zhi did not directly answer Nan Qiuyue's question, but looked at her sincerely and asked back.

"I wonder if you'd still like to go to South City Old Street with me?"

Xu Zhiye's eyes showed both guilt and expectation, which made Nan Qiuyue not know what to say.

He looked at her so sincerely that Nan Qiuyue's heart was moved, but she still didn't admit it. She just said, "I'll think about it."

Xu Zhi also nodded, as if she could agree to whatever she said. This made Nan Qiuyue secretly raise the corner of her mouth, feeling a little happy.

"You brought me here today. I'm so lucky. You know I dined there before and won a lifetime membership card, which gives me free meals. I wonder if it's applicable to any branch?"

Nan Qiuyue sat down, holding the menu and whispered to Xu Zhiye.

Xu Zhi didn't react much, just smiled and said, "Since it's the same store, it will definitely work."

Nan Qiuyue didn't have any doubts, nor did she insist on getting a free meal, she just felt something was a little strange, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.

In her opinion, the lottery was... a joke. If the store wasn't right there, she would have suspected that they had really encountered a scam that day. She didn't expect that the store had opened a branch.

"Let's order."

Xu Zhi also looked at Nan Qiuyue holding the menu, looking around with her big eyes, and reminded her.

"Their special of the day is pretty good, you can order one."

Nan Qiuyue turned her attention back to the menu, recalling her previous dining experience.

Every dish in their restaurant is delicious and looks great, making it a great place for couples to come over for a few drinks, photos and check-in.

After ordering, Nan Qiuyue began to carefully look at the style of the restaurant.

The design here is similar to the one in the old street, with the moon still being the main element.

There is also a photo of a full moon hanging in the middle of this store, but it seems to be different from the one in the old street.

"I heard that these photos of the moon were taken by the owner of this shop himself. I guess he must be an astronomy enthusiast, and his favorite thing must be the moon."

While waiting for the food to be served, Nan Qiuyue told Xu Zhiye her thoughts.

Xu Zhi on the opposite side just listened to her guess patiently without saying anything.

His gaze slowly moved to the moon photos in the restaurant, and finally stopped at the full moon.

He recalled when he took this photo, thinking that he would show it to Nan Qiuyue one day.

Nan Qiuyue was right when he said that his favorite object was indeed the moon.

But this "moon" is not the one in his heart.

And his "moon" was right in front of him at this moment, looking at him with curved eyes and eyebrows.
