Spring River Chasing the Moon

Luo Youyou's heart was pounding. She was so excited at the thought that she and Xu Zhiye would actually meet by chance in Haicheng, and she could see him as a teenager and hear him introduce her name with her own ears.

Luo Youyou took out the painting she was going to give to Xu Zhiye.

Originally, she was planning to draw the place where they first met in their previous life, but after thinking about it, she realized that although they met in the area of South City Old Street, the more accurate location was actually on a remote road.

Moreover, she had never been to South City, so it was strange for her to paint the old streets of South City twenty years later.

After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered the painting, the house, and the roses that Xu Zhi also liked.

Luo Youyou's grandfather had already completed this painting and hung it in the studio, so no one would suspect her if she copied it.

Moreover, Xu Zhi also liked that painting.

So she spent most of the day copying her grandfather's painting, but because of the short time she could only outline it with simple lines.

When she signed the three words "Luo Youyou" in the corner again, she felt complicated. This time, she could give him this painting twenty years in advance, as if it could really change everything.

Luo Youyou kept staring at the guests coming and going, but she didn't see Xu Zhiye. She didn't have a watch, but since she just entered the door, it should be past seven o'clock.

"Did he forget?" Luo Youyou began to doubt whether she was too naive. To Xu Zhiye, she was just a child he had met once, a stranger. Maybe he didn't take her words seriously at all.

Just when Luo Youyou was feeling lost, a man in a suit walked up to her, squatted down and asked her, "Are you little Luo Youyou?"

Luo Youyou was startled. She took a step back and thought to herself, "It can't be a human trafficker. They are so brazen that they steal a child in public in a hotel."

Luo Youyou calmed herself down and asked him, "Who are you?"

Lin Yi is a distant relative of Xu Zhiye. Today, Xu Zhiye hurriedly called him to the hotel. He thought that this young master had something important to do, but he didn't expect that he had an appointment with a young girl. Now he was going to break the appointment, so he asked him to come over and see.

Seeing the little girl's alert expression, Lin Yi knew that the little girl was scared, and quickly explained, "Don't be afraid, little friend. I am Xu Zhiye's relative. You know Xu Zhiye, right?"

Luo Youyou felt relieved when she heard Xu Zhiye's name. After all, besides herself, only Xu Zhiye knew that she knew Xu Zhiye and had agreed to meet here. Since this person could say this, he must really know Xu Zhiye.

"Why didn't he come?" Luo Youyou asked somewhat aggrievedly.

"Zhiye had an emergency at home, and was taken back to South City by his family today. Before he left, he told me that he had an appointment with you here at 7 o'clock today, but he didn't know how to contact you, so he asked me to come over at 7 o'clock to see you."

"Ah...it turns out he went back to South City." Luo Youyou felt even more disappointed now.

Lin Yi didn’t know how to comfort the child, so he could only take out the things Xu Zhiye had given him.

"Xu Zhi also said he was sorry and this was his gift to you."

As he spoke, Lin Yi opened the gift and showed it to Luo Youyou. It was an exquisite fountain pen. Lin Yi recognized this pen. It was a school admission gift given to Xu Zhiye by his grandfather when he started school. At that time, the Xu family held a particularly grand school admission party. He happened to be in Nancheng with his mother that year and had seen it.

Later, when he came into contact with Xu Zhiye, although Xu Zhiye was much younger than him, they could talk about the same thoughts and values, so they always called each other brothers.

He knew that Xu Zhi had always carried this pen with him and cherished it very much. He didn't expect that he would give it to the little girl in front of him today. Only then did Lin Yi take a closer look at the little girl in front of him.

I have to say that this girl is really pretty, like a doll, but her expression at the moment doesn't look very good, as if she is about to cry.

"Don't cry, Xu Zhi didn't mean to miss the show. He really has something to do." Lin Yi was also a little panicked.

Luo Youyou shook her head, indicating that she was not going to cry, she was just sad because she missed it after all.

"Well, if you have anything to say, next time I see him, I'll tell him for you." Lin Yi scratched his hair and thought of a way to coax the little girl.

Sure enough, Luo Youyou's eyes lit up after hearing this. "Really? When can you see him again? Will he come here again?"

"He probably won't come here, but I'm going to South City in a while, and I'll see him then." Lin Yi couldn't bear to tell the little girl that Xu Zhiye's visit to Haicheng this time was just accidental, and he probably wouldn't come again, and they might never have the chance to meet again.

When Luo Youyou heard his words, her heart instantly turned cold, "Oh..."

She hesitated for a moment, then took out the painting she had brought and handed it to Lin Yi. "This is a gift for Brother Zhiye. Could you please give it to him for me?"

Lin Yi took the painting, but tactfully didn't open it to look at it. He just nodded to show his agreement.

"Tell him that I drew this myself, and he must not forget me." Luo Youyou used a childish tone to hide the most fragile secret love in his heart.

"Got it. I promise to deliver it to you."

Lin Yi patted her head and said, "Okay, it's time for you to go home. Is your family with you? Do you want me to take you home?"

"No, thank you. My dad is still waiting for me."

Luo Youyou carefully hid the pen in his pocket before going to find Luo Zhong.

When he returned to the lobby, Luo Zhong had just picked up the chocolate cake at the front desk and was about to go find Luo Youyou.

"Dad, I'm back."

Luo Youyou quickly stepped forward and hugged Luo Zhong.

"Where have you been, playful kid? Why have you been playing for so long?" Luo Zhong asked lovingly.

"Hehe, I was wandering around and forgot the time." Luo Youyou winked at Luo Zhong mischievously.

"Let's go home quickly. I need to eat my chocolate cake quickly."

……

When the father and daughter returned home, Chen Zeli Muzhi and Chen Lili were sitting in the restaurant chatting, "Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, the chocolate cake is here."

Luo Youyou happily ran over and hugged Chen Lili, "Mom, we've been waiting for the cake for half an hour longer. Are you guys impatient?"

Chen Lili looked at her daughter's mischievous appearance, smiled and teased her, "We are not like you, a greedy kitten. Who can't wait any longer?"

"No, we should share this cake together." Luo Youyou's serious look made everyone laugh.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Luo Youyou secretly got up, took out the pen Xu Zhiye had given her, and observed carefully through the moonlight through the window.

This was the first gift Xu Zhiye gave her, and perhaps the last one. She cherished it too much. She carefully hid the pen and jade pendant together and had to put going to South City on the agenda.
