Spring River Chasing the Moon

Xu Zhi also didn't expect that the restaurant Nan Qiuyue booked for the evening was the "Invitation" restaurant on Nancheng Old Street.

Last time at the branch near the Central Square, Xu Zhi also asked Nan Qiuyue if she was still willing to go to Nancheng Old Street with him. At that time, Nan Qiuyue said she would think about it.

Xu Zhi also knew that they had made an appointment back then, but missed it because of his departure.

It was he who broke the promise first, so it was understandable that Nan Qiuyue felt upset.

I didn't expect that today, she would take the initiative to bring me here.

"Do you remember last time I said I won a lifetime membership card in the lottery? It's right here."

Nan Qiuyue pointed to the place where she, Luo Luolizi and the others sat last time.

Nan Qiuyue brought Xu Zhi here not only to celebrate his birthday, but also to confirm the guess she had in her mind.

There was a lucky draw here at the time, and the restaurant also gave them a lot of "invitation" accessories. She thought it was such a coincidence at the time.

Li Zi said that she came here to eat with her classmates several times later, and never encountered a lottery event again. The classmates around her also said that they had never encountered one.

In addition, Xu Zhiye later took her to the "invitation", and the person in charge, Zhou An, seemed to have a very good relationship with Xu Zhiye, which made Nan Qiuyue even more suspicious.

Xu Zhiye said at the time that the "invitation" was made by his friend. Is that true?

Why when she first came here, Xu Zhi was still abroad, but the people in the store arranged that so-called "lottery" and gave her a lifetime free meal? Is it really such a coincidence?

I remember when she first came here, Li Zi said that many people speculated that "邀约" actually meant "邀月".

"Moon" "Moon", Nan Qiuyue looked up at Xu Zhiye beside her.

He seemed to call himself "Little Moon" many times.

The most important thing is that Nan Qiuyue had looked at Xu Zhiye’s mobile phone album two days ago. Although it was not exactly the same photo, there was a photo of the moon in his mobile phone with a very similar style.

So this time, in addition to celebrating her birthday, Nan Qiuyue also wanted to find out what this "invitation" was all about.

After the two of them sat down, Nan Qiuyue turned around and looked around the restaurant. It seemed that the young boss was not there today.

"What are you looking for?"

Looking at Nan Qiuyue looking around, Xu Zhi finished placing the order and turned his gaze from the menu to Nan Qiuyue and asked her curiously.

"Ah... nothing much, I just... really like these photos of the moon in this store. I wonder if the owner is here. I want to ask him if I can buy some."

Nan Qiuyue pointed to the huge moon inside the store, which was the most eye-catching thing.

“This one in particular is so beautiful.”

Xu Zhi also took a look at the photo, but did not comment. He just turned around and looked at Nan Qiuyue and asked her.

"like?"

Nan Qiuyue nodded. Although she was a little tentative, she really liked him.

From her past life to this life, Nan Qiuyue always thought that Xu Zhi was also the moon she wanted to chase.

So during the time he was away, she also took many photos of the moon, but never any that were as artistic as this one.

"If you like, I can..."

Before Xu Zhi could finish his words, Nan Qiuyue spoke.

"But a gentleman shouldn't take away someone else's possessions. The person who took this photo must really like the moon, otherwise they wouldn't use moon elements everywhere in the store. Don't you think...right?"

Nan Qiuyue blinked and looked at Xu Zhiye with a smile, as if saying, "I know everything, don't hide it anymore."

Xu Zhi also paused. He really didn't expect that Nan Qiuyue brought him here today with such intention.

"You guessed it all."

Xu Zhiye spoke in a low voice, showing a rare hint of embarrassment.

Nan Qiuyue on the opposite side nodded.

"It just feels like it's all too coincidental."

"So, the invitation was yours, right? You took those photos, you arranged the raffle, and you gave the second gift from your cousin on your behalf, right?"

As she spoke, Nan Qiuyue choked up a little.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

It turned out that during the saddest years of her life, when she thought she had lost him, Xu Zhi had always been by her side in another way and had never left.

If she had opened the phone earlier, if she had been more sensitive and noticed these things, they might not have lost contact for so many years.

Seeing her sad look, Xu Zhi quickly stood up and sat next to her.

"At that time, I didn't know how important you were to me."

Xu Zhi also hugged her, stroked her head, and spoke gently.

"At that time, you seemed to be my only attachment to the country. Every time I saw the moon, I would think of you. I wondered if you were doing well in South City? Are you still angry with me?"

"I asked Zhou Xing to deliver the birthday present. I was afraid you were still angry and didn't want to accept my gift, so I asked him to keep it a secret from you."

"The first store was opened here because of the promise we made to you. I hope that when I'm not by your side, maybe one day you'll come here and be happy because of the existence of this store."

Xu Zhi just held her like this and spoke about his perspective during those years in a very gentle tone.

Nan Qiuyue was both sad and happy.

The sad thing is that they were separated for so many years because of distance.

The good news is that even though they are thousands of miles apart, they still have each other in their hearts.

Even though Xu Zhiye did not have romantic feelings for Nan Qiuyue at that time, he could not deny that Nan Qiuyue had always been the most special and important person to him.

After the two of them talked everything out, it seemed that their feelings for each other had deepened.

Soon, the dishes ordered by Xu Zhiye were served. He did not sit back at the seat opposite him. Instead, the two of them sat close to each other, feeling the sweetness of the moment.

After the meal, Nan Qiuyue took out the cake she had made in the morning, lit the candles, and softly sang "Happy Birthday" to Xu Zhiye.

"Make a wish now."

Nan Qiuyue leaned against Xu Zhiye and happily urged him to make a wish.

Xu Zhi actually didn’t have any wishes that he wanted to fulfill. Everything he wanted to have was right beside him at this moment, but he still closed his eyes because of Nan Qiuyue’s words.

When he opened his eyes again, a box was placed in front of him.

"Happy birthday."

Nan Qiuyue's sweet voice sounded in his ears.

Xu Zhi also picked up the box and was about to open it when he was stopped by Nan Qiuyue.

"Wait a moment."

"Let's play a game. I'll go somewhere first and send you the location later. You come find me. Don't open this box before you find me."

Nan Qiuyue suddenly suggested playing games. Although Xu Zhiye didn't quite understand, he gladly accepted it. After all, he had to pamper his girlfriend.

"Then I'll go first. Wait a moment and I'll tell you where I am."

Nan Qiuyue picked up her cell phone and bag and left the restaurant. Relying on her memory, she came to the road where she met Xu Zhiye in her previous life.

After sending the location to Xu Zhiye, Nan Qiuyue squatted on the side of the road, staring in a daze at the direction where Xu Zhiye's car was driving.

"What are you doing squatting here?"

A familiar voice sounded above her head, and Nan Qiuyue looked up in surprise.

Xu Zhi just appeared in front of him without any warning.
