Spring River Chasing the Moon

"Did Dad tell me how he knew about this?"

Chen Lili was indeed curious, but Nanzhou Yue knew even less about this kind of forum. She didn't expect him to go to school today.

"I heard that the kid from the Xu family saw it and told Xiao Wei, and Xiao Wei was anxious so he told Dad first."

Nan Youzhao said as he changed into his pajamas.

"Zhiye? Zhiye has been taking good care of our Qiyue since he was young."

Although Chen Lili kept telling herself that since Nan Qiuyue didn't ask her family for help, she should let her go and give her freedom, she still felt anxious when she looked at the forum every day.

Xu Zhi did the same and resolved the matter as quickly as possible.

This child has been excellent since childhood. He is sensible, polite, and capable. The most rare thing is that he did not rely on his family for his current achievements. Chen Lili thought about it and liked Xu Zhi a little more.

"But I really didn't expect that Dad said today that Qiuyue had figured out quite a bit on her own. Our daughter has really changed a lot since she grew up. She was a soft and adorable little baby when she was young, but now she can stand on her own and is becoming more and more powerful."

Nan Youzhao listened to Chen Lili's mental journey after learning about this matter, and thought that if it were him, maybe he would also give Nan Qiuyue the space to make her own decisions.

Although they dote on their daughter, they don't want her to be just a "Princess and the Pea" who knows nothing and can do nothing.

"Dad talked to you and big brother about Qiyue last night?"

At night, the father and his two sons stayed in the study for a long time. Chen Lili knew that it was definitely not just about Nan Qiuyue's matter, otherwise there would be no need to call his eldest brother over.

"This matter is a bit complicated. Let me explain it to you slowly."

-

On the other side, Nan Qiuyue in the room was hesitating whether to send a message to Xu Zhiye.

But I was afraid that he was busy or resting and I would disturb him.

Just when Nan Qiuyue was hesitating, Xu Zhiye's video call request popped up unexpectedly.

Nan Qiuyue didn't react for a moment. When she came to her senses, the video call was already connected.

Xu Zhi opposite also seemed to be still working, with a desk behind him piled with thick documents.

"You...are you still working overtime so late?"

Nan Qiuyue blinked. She felt that he had been away on business for so many days, and suddenly seeing his face made her feel inexplicably unnatural.

"Well, it's over. I'll be taking the flight back tomorrow morning."

Xu Zhi also looked at Nan Qiuyue's face and replied with a smile.

"Then why don't you go back to the hotel and rest? By the time you get back and wash up, you won't have a few hours to sleep."

Nan Qiuyue was a little worried about his health. This business trip lasted a few days longer than he had expected before departure. Something must have gone wrong in the middle. Seeing that he seemed very tired, Nan Qiuyue felt very distressed.

"I was afraid that by the time I got back... you would have already rested, so I wanted to... see you now."

Xu Zhiye's voice was low and his words were spoken slowly, which almost made Nan Qiuyue's heart skip a beat.

"What does he mean?"

"Is that what you meant by me?"

"What should I say?"

Nan Qiuyue asked herself three questions in her mind, and her dull expression made Xu Zhiye laugh.

"Silly?"

Xu Zhi also asked her.

"No."

Nan Qiuyue lowered her head slightly, not wanting Xu Zhi to see her slightly blushing face, but her red ears still betrayed her little thoughts.

"How did you know about my school life?"

Nan Qiuyue thought that she had just wanted to contact him to find out about this matter.

"I could tell you were in a bad mood when I was away on a business trip. I couldn't accompany you, so I asked my assistant to stay with you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this. I thought if you needed help, he would help you. If you didn't need it, he wouldn't appear in front of you."

Xu Zhi didn't want to deceive Nan Qiuyue either. He knew that sending someone to follow Nan Qiuyue was actually overstepping the line. He wondered if Nan Qiuyue would mind being followed.

Xu Zhiye’s words made Nan Qiuyue feel inexplicably sour.

Suddenly she had a feeling that something seemed to have changed between her and Xu Zhiye. No matter in the previous life or before, she had always hidden her feelings and been cautious in front of him.

At this moment, Xu Zhi was just looking at herself like this. He obviously didn't have to tell herself these things, but he still said them and then sincerely apologized to herself.

How could she not be moved by him?

"I know you're doing this for my own good."

"And the forum was blocked. You were also responsible for that, right?"

Nan Qiuyue continued to ask him.

Xu Zhi also nodded. "I've already found out who originally posted the message. And as for those who said those nasty things, do you need them to apologize to you?"

Xu Zhiye initially wanted everyone who had scolded Nan Qiuyue to apologize to her one by one, but later he thought about it and decided to ask Nan Qiuyue and respect her opinion.

"Forget it, they are just people being used."

"As for the person who posted the message, I know it's closely related to Nan Yin Bei."

Speaking of Nanyinbei, Nan Qiuyue suddenly remembered that she and Xu Zhi had once studied abroad in the same country.

"Brother Zhiye."

Nan Qiuyue looked directly at Xu Zhiye who was across the screen.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xu Zhi also looked at her and responded to her.

"Nan Yinbei, she studied abroad in the same place as you..."

Nan Qiuyue didn't continue because she didn't know how to ask.

Should I ask them if they've met abroad? What happened? Or what was their childhood relationship like?

It seems like it's all in the past, and bringing it up again will only add to my troubles.

As if he knew what the little girl wanted to ask, Xu Zhi slowly spoke in a gentle voice.

"I think I said before, when I was abroad, apart from work and study, there was nothing else worth my attention, except of course..."

Xu Zhi also stopped and looked at Nan Qiuyue with burning eyes.

"Except what?"

Nan Qiuyue felt a vague sense of anticipation in her heart. She seemed to know what answer Xu Zhi was about to give, but she also felt inexplicably afraid and nervous.

Xu Zhi also raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of temptation.

"Except for Little Moon whose phone is turned off and who doesn't reply to my messages."

With a "boom", Xu Zhi also called herself "Little Moon", and Nan Qiuyue felt that her heart was about to explode.

She panicked for a moment and didn't know what to say, so she started talking nonsense at a very fast speed.

"Grandpa said at school today that Sister Sibei is the North Star, and I am the bright moon."

"It turns out that grandpa hopes that my sister and I can have our own lives, that our world will not be rigid, and that we can live out our own splendor."

"I didn't know this before. I thought Grandpa gave me this name to match my father's name, 'Shining like the sun and stars,' so I'm called 'Moon', to represent that we are the most precious treasures."

Nan Qiuyue never asked Nanzhouyue about the origin of her name. She always believed that her name and her father's name together meant "sun, moon and stars", and that her grandfather and his family were telling everyone the importance of their family.

"really."

Xu Zhi also suddenly nodded in agreement, but Nan Qiuyue didn't understand what he meant at first.

"What is certain?"

Xu Zhi also curled up the corners of his mouth. Nan Qiuyue was panicked when she spoke just now, so he decided not to continue teasing her.

So Xu Zhi also shook his head and said it was nothing.
