Spring River Chasing the Moon

The little girl hugged him tightly, and Xu Zhi was a little flustered for a moment.

But soon he felt the clothes in front of him being soaked by her tears, so he slowly raised his hand and gently patted her back, while the other hand stroked her hair, again and again.

He leaned over and lowered his head slightly, the tip of his nose barely touching the top of her head, and spoke softly to comfort her.

"Don't cry, um..."

Nan Qiuyue had indeed not been able to control her emotions just now, but when she really felt Xu Zhiye's warm embrace, she came to her senses.

But she was very greedy for the feeling of two people hugging each other at this moment and didn't want to separate easily.

So Nan Qiuyue didn't look up, but just hugged her hands tighter, leaned herself against Xu Zhiye's chest, and refused to leave.

Perhaps because he felt the little girl's dependence, Xu Zhiye's heart softened.

He did not continue to speak to disturb the atmosphere at the moment. The two of them hugged each other, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Zhou An's voice came from outside with a gossipy and inquiring tone.

"Does everything fit? Do you need my help?"

Nan Qiuyue thought Zhou An would open the door and come in directly, so she immediately loosened her hands and pushed his chest, thinking of separating herself from Xu Zhi.

No matter how straightforward she was, she felt embarrassed to hug Xu Zhiye like this in front of others, especially since the person outside seemed to have a good relationship with Xu Zhiye and they might meet again in the future.

Nan Qiuyue sat up straight. Xu Zhi also looked at the empty space in front of him. He was a little uncomfortable with it and opened the door with a cold face.

"Is something wrong?"

Xu Zhi didn't open the door completely, but just talked to Zhou An through a gap.

Nan Qiuyue had just cried, her little face was red and she looked pitiful, and he couldn't let anyone see it.

Originally, Zhou An or other staff members should be present when customers try on the products, but since Xu Zhiye was the one who came today, they were given a quiet space.

But Zhou An was too curious. After staying in his office for a while, he couldn't help but join in the fun.

"I'm here to remind you that this room is under surveillance. You and your partner should be careful."

Zhou An whispered something in Xu Zhiye's ear and gave him an ambiguous look after finishing his words.

There are so many gems coming in and out of their company every day, so surveillance cameras are installed in most places in the company. Xu Zhi knows this better than anyone else.

"Nothing else, you can go now."

Xu Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to Zhou An and told him to go back to his office with a faint expression.

But his ears were slightly red, betraying his somewhat unnatural emotions.

On the other side, Nan Qiuyue also felt that she was too direct just now. She held him tightly and refused to let go. She secretly observed Xu Zhiye's expression, wondering if he had noticed anything.

Seeing Xu Zhiye close the door again, Nan Qiuyue quickly pretended to try on the necklace.

"I'll help you."

Xu Zhi also saw that she was trying to fasten the necklace behind her neck, so he walked over, took it from her hand and fastened it.

The diamonds on the necklace were trembling slightly, flashing beautifully as Nan Qiuyue's body swayed.

A matching bracelet and earrings are also included.

Nan Qiuyue raised her hand and touched the necklace, looking at Xu Zhi in the mirror and asked him.

"Why did you suddenly give me this?"

Nan Qiuyue remembered that Xie Zhouxing had said the brand "Invitation" was custom-made. This gift was not something Xu Zhiye suddenly decided to give today, but had been prepared long ago.

"I hope you're happy."

Xu Zhiye was telling the truth. The original intention of this gift was to make her happy.

But he didn't expect that after returning home, such a huge change would take place in his heart.

"Just... like this?"

Nan Qiuyue felt a little lost. She had clearly felt his response just now. He did not push away her embrace. Nan Qiuyue could vaguely feel him approaching. It was clearly beyond their current relationship. Was it just her illusion?

"Your happiness is more important than anything else."

Xu Zhi also tidied up the hair at the back of her head and said sincerely.

Nan Qiuyue looked at Xu Zhiye in the mirror. He was concentrating on straightening her hair, so gently and delicately.

"Brother Zhiye."

Nan Qiuyue mustered up the courage to call out to him.

Xu Zhi also looked up, and the two people's eyes met in the mirror.

Perhaps because she didn't really look him in the eyes, Nan Qiuyue felt that she could continue talking.

"what happened?"

Xu Zhi also put down his hand and looked down at her in front of him.

"Have you... met someone you like... while abroad?"

When asking this question, Nan Qiuyue clenched her palms so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

Xu Zhi did not answer her question immediately because he happened to have his head down, and he could see Nan Qiuyue's hands trembling clearly.

Xu Zhiye turned the chair so that Nan Qiyue was facing him, and then he squatted on one knee.

He reached out and pulled Nan Qiuyue's hand open, revealing the red nail marks.

Xu Zhi was also very distressed. He gently stroked the red mark with his hands, then looked up at Nan Qiuyue and explained.

"I'm abroad, and apart from studying and working, there's nothing else that can concern me, and I don't like anyone else."

Xu Zhi was also talking, but the soothing movements of his hands never stopped.

Nan Qiuyue's heart started beating fast the moment Xu Zhiye squatted down and looked her in the eye.

He also used his thumb to gently stroke the red mark on the palm of his hand. Nan Qiuyue didn't know where to look. She was afraid that if she looked at Xu Zhiye, she would confess directly.

"So...what kind of girls do you like?"

Nan Qiuyue blinked and calmed her heartbeat.

Now that she has come to this point, she can't give up halfway.

"I like……"

When Xu Zhiye said this, he exerted a little force with his hands and tightly grasped Nan Qiuyue's hands.

Nan Qiuyue felt his movements and was a little confused.

"what do you like?"

She couldn't wait to ask him.

Looking at Nan Qiuyue's expectant eyes, Xu Zhi suddenly wanted to tease her.

"do not know."

Xu Zhiye's answer left Nan Qiuyue stunned for a few seconds.

"How could you not know?"

Nan Qiuyue continued to ask unwillingly.

"Oh... so what you mean by that is that you know what kind of person you like?"

Xu Zhi did not answer her question, but instead turned the topic to herself.

Nan Qiuyue blurted out subconsciously.

"Of course I know I like..."

When she realized what was happening, she quickly shut her mouth.

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you either."

Nan Qiuyue had actually thought about it a long time ago. Xu Zhiye's birthday was next month. No matter what their situation was at that time, she would confess her feelings on that day.

She thought of many plans in her mind, wanting to give herself and him a little sense of ritual, and she would accept the result whether it was successful or not.

Unable to get Nan Qiuyue to say anything, Xu Zhi didn't continue asking.

In fact, he saw the little girl's reaction just now, and he could also judge her feelings for him from her usual behavior.

In fact, Xu Zhi has been secretly inquiring about the preferences of the elders of the Nan family recently. Now it seems that the schedule for visiting the Nan family has to be arranged in advance.
