Spring River Chasing the Moon

Nan Youzhao didn't mean it. He just happened to bend down to pick up the water on the coffee table, and he didn't expect to hear his daughter say this in a low voice.

After she finished speaking, her expression still contained the shyness of a little girl, which made Nan Youzhao pause in his hand holding the water cup.

However, he did not show any abnormality, although Nan Youzhao was very curious and wondered who the "he" Nan Qiuyue was referring to?

But judging from Nan Qiuyue's expression after she said that, it was obviously a boy, and someone Nan Qiuyue particularly liked, otherwise she wouldn't feel happy even when mentioning this person.

After sitting in the living room for a while, Nan Youzhao returned to the kitchen.

"I've prepared the ingredients, now I'll leave it to you."

Chen Lili said as she watched Nan Youzhao push the door open.

"Well, I'll do it."

Nan Youzhao thought about it and decided to respect Nan Qiuyue's idea.

Since she didn't take the initiative to tell them, it was not the right time yet. There was no need for him to tell his wife anything. He could just pretend that he didn't hear anything.

Soon, one delicious dish after another was served on the table.

"Wow, this is so rich."

"Uncle and aunt are so polite."

Fang Zhi looked at the dishes on the table and wanted to help, but was stopped by Nan Qiuyue. The three of them were forced to sit down by Nan Qiuyue and just wait to eat.

Fang Zhi felt embarrassed and felt that his coming here would cause great trouble to Nan Qiuyue's parents.

Especially when he saw Nan Youzhao busying around in the kitchen wearing an apron, Fang Zhi felt that his previous imagination of Nan Qiuyue's father was completely different.

I always thought that Qiuyue's father would be a tough guy, the serious type, but I didn't expect that he is not only kind and gentle, but also so homely.

"Come and try it, my dad's cooking skill is the best in our family."

Nan Qiuyue is not bragging. Nan Youzhao's cooking skills have improved over the years.

Whenever they have a family gathering and Nan Youzhao is not busy, Nan Qiuyue, Yan Wei and others will ask him to cook a few dishes.

The host hadn't even sat down yet, but they realized it wasn't a good idea for them to pick up their chopsticks first.

Just wait obediently for Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili.

It was not until the last dish was served and everyone was seated that the three of them picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

I really didn’t expect that the dishes cooked by Nan Qiuyue’s father were so delicious.

Suddenly, no one spoke at the table except for the sound of chewing.

"Uncle, the food you cook is really delicious. We usually eat in the school cafeteria. Today is a rare occasion. I'm sorry for being so rude..."

While eating, Fang Zhi suddenly realized what was happening and said a little embarrassedly.

I even secretly kicked Jiang Sier under the table because he was the one who ate the most happily.

"Auntie and uncle like the way you eat well. Come...eat more."

Chen Lili looked at Fang Zhi's well-behaved face and liked him very much. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for the three children.

"Thank you auntie."

Several people quickly picked up their bowls and took over.

Halfway through the meal, Fang Zhi and Jiang Si'er had already relaxed a lot, and started chatting with Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili.

But Hu Yang standing next to him still looked slow and leisurely.

"Is Xiao Hu a local?"

From the moment they entered the door, Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili both looked at him a few more times. This child had a distinctive appearance. He always stood at the back, was very polite, and didn't talk much.

Nan Youzhao was afraid that he would not be able to adapt, so he took the initiative to talk to Hu Yang.

"Yes, uncle."

Hu Yang didn't expect Nan Youzhao to ask him suddenly, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and answered his question.

"Don't be nervous, let's just chat about family matters."

Nan Youzhao actually still had some doubts as to whether the Hu Yang in front of him was the "he" his daughter was talking about.

From the moment he entered the door, Nan Youzhao could tell that Fang Zhi and Jiang Si'er had a close relationship. Although Nan Qiuyue did not tell him about their relationship, Nan Youzhao could tell that Fang Zhi was probably in love with Jiang Si'er.

So, this Huyang...could it be...that he is making friends with their Qiyue?

"No wonder your accent sounds familiar."

Chen Lili didn't know what Nan Youzhao was thinking, but she didn't want to leave anyone out, so she chatted with him silently.

"What do your family members do?"

Nan Youzhao's question made Nan Qiuyue a little confused.

Logically speaking, Nan Youzhao is the one who knows the limits best.

It is not right to ask such private questions to someone you just met for no reason, especially when you only asked Hu Yang among the three people.

Nan Qiuyue turned her head, stared at Nan Youzhao, and blinked, trying to tell him with her eyes not to pry into other people's family affairs like this, but Nan Youzhao seemed not to see it and continued to speak.

"It's okay if it's inconvenient to talk about it. Uncle doesn't know what to talk to you about, so I just brought up a random topic."

"Nothing inconvenient."

Nan Youzhao's tactic of "retreating to advance" made Fang Zhi and the other three feel a little embarrassed.

They can also understand Nan Youzhao, who wants to have topics to talk about with his daughter's classmates, but has no idea what college students like or what's popular nowadays, so he can only care about their daily lives.

This reminded Fang Zhi and the others of their own parents, who also chatted with others in the same way.

“My parents are both in business.”

Huyang answered honestly.

"Are you all only children?"

All three of them nodded. Including Nan Qiuyue, the four of them had no biological brothers or sisters.

Nan Youzhao nodded and stopped asking about Hu Yang's family affairs.

Be quick and decisive, otherwise being too radical might attract Nan Qiuyue's attention.

After the meal, Nan Qiuyue took out the cake she made herself, and the few of them happily shared the dessert together.

"Can you play chess?"

Nan Youzhao watched Hu Yang eat a few bites of cake, then put down his fork and turned to ask him.

"know a bit."

Huyang nodded.

"Then play a few games with me?"

Nan Youzhao made the invitation, and Huyang did not dare to refuse.

So he was taken by Nan Youzhao to sit in front of the chessboard in the corner, and the two of them started playing chess.

"How...how did you and Qiyue become friends?"

In the middle of the game, Nan Youzhao asked Hu Yang casually, holding the chess piece in his hand.

"It started with group work. We were always together, so we gradually became familiar with each other and our cooperation became more and more tacit."

"We mostly complement each other's shortcomings. Some are creative, others have strong observation skills. As for Qiyue, her drawing skills are the best among us. She is meticulous and independent, so when we work together, we can always complete the best assignments and get high scores."

"Later, we became more and more familiar with each other."

Nan Youzhao was quite satisfied with Hu Yang's words.

This child is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and can observe the strengths of everyone around her. Nan Youzhao also keenly sensed that when Hu Yang talked about his daughter, there was a sense of affection in his tone.

Nan Youzhao felt as if his guess was confirmed. He looked at Hu Yang, then turned to look at Nan Qiuyue.

I wonder when his daughter will take the initiative to come out...
