Spring River Chasing the Moon

The two walked to the dining room and looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table. This was the first time Xu Zhiye had eaten such a sumptuous meal at home since he bought this apartment.

Normally he either eats out or just grabs a bite to eat by himself.

Nan Qiuyue placed two sets of bowls and chopsticks neatly on both sides. Xu Zhi didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. While Nan Qiuyue was pouring juice at the island counter, Xu Zhi took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the dining table, and then shared the picture for the first time.

Nan Qiuyue didn't know what he had done and walked over with two glasses of juice.

"Why are you still standing here? Come and eat."

Nan Qiuyue handed him one of the glasses of juice, then sat down and started eating.

In fact, Nan Qiuyue secretly tasted each dish before it came out of the pot. She was mainly afraid that she would not perform well. Fortunately, she performed steadily this time and every dish was delicious.

Nan Qiuyue first picked up a piece of chicken wing for Xu Zhiye to try.

"This one has a slightly spicy taste, but is mostly sweet. I added honey."

Xu Zhi also took a bite and found it was indeed quite good. The chicken wings were very tender and well marinated.

"delicious."

Xu Zhi also quickly solved one, looked up and said to Nan Qiuyue.

"As long as you like it."

Hearing him say it was delicious, Nan Qiuyue's mood became cheerful and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"Southern Sounds and Northern Sounds..."

After a while, Xu Zhi suddenly spoke.

"You don't have to worry about her. She will leave South City University soon."

When mentioning Nan Yinbei, Xu Zhiye's expression became much more serious.

He regretted very much that he should have taken care of Nan Yinbei's affairs when he returned to China and let her stay abroad forever, so that Nan Qiuyue would not have suffered so much grievances because of her.

"Well, I see."

Nan Qiuyue guessed that Xu Zhi must have done something, and she didn't want to ask more about Nan Yinbei.

Nan Qiuyue believes that she is not a saint and is not that kind-hearted. No matter what the outcome will be, she will not sympathize with people like Nan Yinbei.

"Oh, right. I found out that Nan Yinbei and his family have someone helping them behind the scenes, including Nan Younian's business. Ever since he left the Nan family, someone has been quietly helping them, so they can have the life they have today. The same goes for Nan Yinbei. She also relied on that person's help to study abroad. And the things happening at school might just be a minor nuisance targeting me. I think their ultimate target is my grandfather and his family."

"The person helping them is called Jiang Hai. Here is his information."

Nan Qiuyue also sent a copy of Jiang Hai's information to Xu Zhiye.

"There's something I never told you before you left the country. Nan Yinbei already knew you were going abroad, and she even boasted about your relationship with her in front of me... Is it because someone in your family has a good relationship with their family, so..."

Nan Qiuyue spoke very cautiously, but in her heart she had already been certain that someone from the Xu family was secretly colluding with Nan Younian in order to attack their Nan family, because in Nancheng, only the Xu family dared to target the Nan family in this way.

But after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't understand the reason for doing so. The Xu family and the Nan family didn't have a major conflict of interest; their relationship was actually quite close. She had also met Xu Zhiye's grandfather. Although he was a stubborn old man and very strict with Xu Zhiye, Nan Qiuyue felt that it was unlikely that Grandpa Xu and his family would do such a despicable thing, and even less so that Xu Zhiye's parents would. Now, perhaps only Xu Zhiye could investigate thoroughly.

Sure enough, Xu Zhi also frowned when he heard that Nan Yinbei had known that he was going abroad for a long time.

"Are you sure she knew about it in advance?"

It’s not that Xu Zhi didn’t trust Nan Qiuyue, but at the time, only his closest people knew about this matter.

"I'm sure. She told me first, and then I... I only found out later that you went abroad."

Nan Qiuyue did not say that Nan Yinbei’s words had caused her to panic and she had a high fever and was hospitalized.

This matter has passed between her and Xu Zhiye, and she doesn't want to bring it up again, as if she has to make Xu Zhiye feel guilty.

But Xu Zhi already knew that she was sick and hospitalized on the day he went abroad.

Hearing Nan Qiuyue's pause for a moment, Xu Zhi immediately realized that something was wrong with her. Thinking of what Yan Wei had said to him that year, Xu Zhi quickly realized that it must be Nan Yinbei's words that made Nan Qiuyue sad, so her bad mood affected her health.

Ultimately, it was his own problem. He should have said goodbye to Nan Qiuyue properly in advance instead of putting it off. No one expected that he would leave so suddenly, including himself.

"sorry."

Xu Zhi also put down his chopsticks and looked at Nan Qiuyue seriously.

Nan Qiuyue shook her head. Xu Zhi had apologized many times about this matter. She had really let it go and figured it out.

Regarding her relationship with Xu Zhiye back then, even if he felt there was no need to tell her, she actually had no reason to blame him. What's more, Xu Zhiye didn't do it on purpose. He had contacted her, but everything was wrong.

"It's over now. I don't think about it anymore. You don't have to say sorry."

"Now, I'm just curious. How did Nan Yinbei know about this matter that no one except your family knew about back then?"

Nan Qiuyue was very puzzled.

"Leave this matter to me, I will investigate it thoroughly."

Originally, Xu Zhi thought that as long as Nan Yinbei was dealt with, the matter would be resolved. Unexpectedly, the Xu family was involved. Even if it wasn't for Nan Qiuyue, he had to investigate it thoroughly. If there really was someone in their family helping Nan Younian's family behind the scenes, the purpose that person wanted to achieve was definitely not that simple.

Xu Zhi also looked at Nan Qiuyue deeply. He failed to protect her back then. This time, he would never let anyone hurt Nan Qiuyue again, including her family.

……

After lunch, Xu Zhi also sent Nan Qiuyue home. Nan Qiuyue returned to the room, took out her mobile phone and sent him a message saying "I'm home". Then she started to check her Moments and found that Xu Zhi had also sent a message before dinner.

The photo shows the dish she cooked. Xu Zhi also took the photo from the angle directly above the dining table. The dishes and chopsticks placed on both sides were also framed in the photo, clearly telling everyone in his circle of friends that he had lunch with another person.

Nan Qiuyue saw the caption above his picture: The little girl said her cooking is delicious.

Seeing him announce his presence to his friends like this, Nan Qiuyue's face turned red.

Nan Qiuyue clicked on the comments and saw Yan Wei’s message below.

"Whose little girl is this?"

Xu Zhi also replied to him:

"My family."

Nan Qiuyue blinked her eyes, slammed the screen of her phone shut, and lay down on the bed, not daring to look at it anymore.
