Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Qiuyue didn't think much about it, but just kept talking, trying to ease the helplessness of her accelerated heartbeat.

"What time is your flight tomorrow?"

Nan Qiuyue asked Xu Zhiye that she had nothing to do tomorrow and maybe she could go to the airport to pick him up.

"What? You're planning to pick me up at the airport..."

Xu Zhi also looked at Nan Qiuyue lovingly, "You're on the earliest flight, so there's no need to come pick you up. It's too early. Just get some good sleep at home."

Nan Qiuyue checked the flight information and did not continue to tell him her intentions. She planned to go secretly tomorrow to give Xu Zhiye a surprise.

After ending the call with Xu Zhiye, Nan Qiuyue jumped onto the bed, her face getting hot, and she kept thinking about what Xu Zhiye had just said. All night long, her mind was full of Xu Zhiye, and she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Nan Qiuyue got up from the bed. She had almost no sleep the previous night, but she was not sleepy at all. She was particularly awake when she thought about picking up Xu Zhi.

After quickly washing up, Nan Qiuyue carefully picked out a set of clothes and then cautiously opened the door of the room. At this time, Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili had not yet gotten up. Nan Qiuyue did not want to wake them up, so she tiptoed downstairs.

I wrote a note saying "I have something to do outside", stuck it on the refrigerator door with a refrigerator magnet, and then went out.

Nan Qiuyue remembered that when Xu Zhiye was on a business trip, he did not ask his driver to take him to the airport. He should have parked the car directly in the airport parking lot. So Nan Qiuyue did not ask the driver to take her, but chose to take a taxi herself. She was also afraid that when her parents asked about it, the driver would let the cat out of the bag.

At the Nancheng Airport pick-up area, Nan Qiuyue put on a mask and a hat, stood in the corner, and stared at the exit intently.

Seeing that Xu Zhiye's flight was about to arrive, she quickly hid behind a pillar, ready to scare him later.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, Nan Qiuyue finally saw Xu Zhiye. He came out pushing a suitcase, followed by someone who should be his assistant.

Nan Qiuyue originally wanted to jump over and give Xu Zhiye a surprise when he passed by her, but she didn't expect there was another person there, so she had to walk out quietly and put her hand on Xu Zhiye's back in the shape of a gun.

"Guess who I am?"

Nan Qiuyue lowered her voice and spoke in a pretended serious tone.

Even though she changed her voice, Xu Zhi still recognized it right away.

He looked at the assistant beside him calmly.

"You should go home first. You've worked hard this time. I'll give you two days off."

The assistant actually recognized Nan Qiuyue when she appeared. He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't exist and tried to be invisible to create space for his boss. Unexpectedly, the boss directly gave him a holiday. He happily carried his luggage and went home.

As soon as the assistant left, Xu Zhi raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, turned around and looked at Nan Qiuyue with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you not to get up early?"

Nan Qiuyue put down her hands, took off her hat and mask, and did not answer his question directly, but asked Xu Zhiye instead.

"Then I'll come pick you up, aren't you happy?"

Xu Zhi also glanced at her, took a step forward, slowly approached, then raised his hand and gently placed it on Nan Qiuyue's head. He lowered his body slightly so that his eyes were level with hers and he looked into her eyes.

"I'm very happy."

After saying that, Xu Zhiye's hand did not leave immediately, but stroked Nan Qiuyue's hair gently.

"Are you going back to the company today?"

Nan Qiuyue felt his movements, but she didn't dare to move her body. She just looked at his face and spoke slowly.

"I'll go to the company this afternoon. I originally planned to go home. What about you? Do you want to go somewhere? Or maybe I can take you home first?"

Xu Zhi was originally going to go home and rest for half a day before going back to the company, but since Nan Qiuyue was here, he wanted to stay with her for a while longer.

But he also respected her opinion. If she wanted to go home, he would send her back first. After all, it was too early and she probably hadn't had enough rest.

"Are you going back to Xu's house or to your own place?"

Nan Qiuyue knew that Xu Zhiye had an apartment near Lanjing. She was a little curious about what Xu Zhiye’s residence was like.

"I'm going back to the apartment."

Hearing him say this, Nan Qiuyue asked him a little embarrassedly.

"Then...can I come to your house?"

Xu Zhi didn't expect her to ask him this, and was stunned for a moment.

Nan Qiuyue quickly found an excuse for herself.

"I just want to take a look at the houses nearby. Maybe I can use it as a reference when I buy a house in the future."

Xu Zhi also noticed that every time Nan Qiuyue lied seriously, she spoke very fast, and he didn't have the heart to expose her little thoughts. Xu Zhi nodded and took her to the parking lot.

The car was driving forward at a steady speed on the road. Thinking that the destination would be Xu Zhiye's private space, it felt much more nervous than the first time I went to Lanjing.

"Have you had your breakfast?"

Xu Zhi also thought that it was so early, Nan Qiuyue probably went out without having breakfast.

Sure enough, the little girl next to me shook her head.

"When I came out, my parents weren't awake yet. I was afraid the noise in the kitchen would disturb them."

Nan Qiuyue explained.

"I haven't eaten either. When I get home, I'll see if there's anything we can eat together."

In fact, Xu Zhi had already drunk coffee before boarding the plane. He just wanted to eat some more with Nan Qiuyue.

"Okay wow."

Nan Qiuyue was a little happy. This was the first time the two of them had breakfast alone since Xu Zhiye returned to China, and it was at his house...

The car soon stopped in the underground garage below Xu Zhiye's apartment.

Xu Zhiye led Nan Qiuyue into the elevator. When the elevator reached the top floor and opened, Nan Qiuyue realized that the houses here were one apartment per elevator. When the elevator door opened, all she could see was the space of Xu Zhiye's apartment.

His preferences remain the same as before, starting from the entrance, there is only black, white and gray, which is extremely simple and modern.

"I don't have any women's slippers here. You can try these first. They're new."

Xu Zhi also took out a new pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet, squatted down and placed them in front of Nan Qiuyue, then took out his own slippers and put them on.

Although she knew that Xu Zhiye didn't have many opposite sexes around him, Nan Qiuyue still felt satisfied that there were no women's slippers.

"Haven't your parents been here?"

Nan Qiuyue asked while changing her slippers.

"My parents respect my personal life and won't come over. If something happens, I'll go back."

"Besides, I moved out because it's closer to the company, and I also wanted a completely independent space, so I didn't tell them the password downstairs. They can't come in without my consent."

As he spoke, Xu Zhi also pressed the password for the room's door. The moment the door opened, he turned around and spoke to Nan Qiuyue.

"The password downstairs is 2580. The password here is, remember it?"

Nan Qiuyue blinked. She had just seen him entering the password without avoiding her at all. Nan Qiuyue even turned around and didn't peek, but she never expected that Xu Zhi would directly tell her the password.

"Remember...remember."

Nan Qiuyue was a little confused. Xu Zhi had just said that he needed a completely independent space, so why did he suddenly tell her the password?
