Spring River Chasing the Moon

When Nan Zhili saw the message in the family group, it was already the day when Xu Zhi was going to pay a formal visit to the Nan family.

He had been abroad for the past few days. As soon as he returned, he went to the school to pick up Luo Luo, who had no classes, and went to his apartment together. The two of them snuggled up on the sofa, watching Luo Luo's favorite art movie and eating sweet strawberries.

To be honest, the news in the group shocked Nan Zhili as much as anyone else in the family. He turned to look at Luo Luo beside him. The little girl was also in the family group, but her reaction in the past two days was no different from usual. She didn't discuss this matter with him. She must have known about it a long time ago.

"what happened?"

Luo Luo was leaning on the sofa, watching a movie, when she suddenly felt the eyes of the people around her on her. She turned her head and asked curiously.

Nan Zhili put his arm around her shoulders, let her lean on his arms, and showed her the content on his phone.

"Have you known for a long time that Qiyue and Xu Zhiye are in love?"

Nan Zhili scrolled up the messages in the group and saw that Xu Zhi was also going to the Nan family today.

"I……"

Luo Luo looked up at Nan Zhili's face and felt a little embarrassed. She had indeed known it for a long time.

But this matter is Qiuyue's privacy after all. If Qiuyue does not intend to tell her family, she, as a friend, certainly cannot tell it casually, even if Nan Zhili is Qiuyue's brother.

"Our little secrets as girls must not be told to anyone."

Luo Luo took Nan Zhili's phone and skilfully looked through the messages in the group, as if to say, "Nothing can happen to me."

"Okay, I know. I won't ask about your girls' affairs."

Nan Zhili looked at Luo Luo's wrinkled face, which looked troubled, and pinched her cheek with a smile.

"Qiyue has always been a righteous person. I have no right to interfere in her affairs, but they have all been made public. What do you think about our affairs?"

Nan Zhili took the phone and put it down, letting Luo Luo lean on his shoulder. He played with her fingers and asked her casually.

Hearing his words, Luo Luo remembered that before he went on this business trip, he said he wanted to disclose their affairs to his family.

"It's not that I don't want to, I'm just a little scared."

Luo Luo held Nan Zhili's hand tightly and looked up at him.

"What are you afraid of?"

Nan Zhili knew more or less what the little girl was thinking, but he still wanted her to speak first.

Only after she spoke up could I prescribe the right medicine and slowly soothe her anxiety.

Seeing Luo Luo's hesitation, Nan Zhili reached out and picked her up, letting her sit on him, facing him.

"I'm sorry, am I not doing well enough? That's why you always feel insecure?"

Nan Zhili slowly approached Luo Luo and asked her in a low voice.

Luo Luo quickly shook her head, put her arms around the back of his neck, and rubbed her face against his chest, feeling very dependent.

"Third brother, do you know that it was your great uncle, your father, who brought me and grandma from Haicheng to Nancheng?"

Nan Zhili nodded, of course he knew.

In fact, from the very beginning, it was his father who always told him to take good care of his two younger sisters, especially Luo Luo.

Nan Youmin himself also treats Luo Luo as his own daughter. Since he was the one who brought the little girl to Nancheng, Nan Youmin always has a sense of responsibility in his heart.

"After my grandmother and I arrived in South City, we received a lot of help from many people because of Qiuyue, but I always felt that in front of my great uncle, I was still that kid from the countryside in Haicheng."

"Although I've always known that my uncle and the others treat me like their own daughter, and I know these are just my own narrow-minded thoughts, I can't seem to change them overnight. Furthermore, the older I get, the more I feel this way, feeling like I'm not good enough..."

"Especially after I fell in love with you, I felt guilty facing my uncle. They have been so good to me, but I still want you. I think I am too greedy. I have already received a lot, but I am still not satisfied..."

"What's more, there are already too many differences between us."

The little girl's tone was soft and gentle, but the more Nan Zhili listened, the more panicked he became.

He wondered if it was because of his and Luo Luo's family background that made her hesitant and afraid to take another step forward with him, but he didn't expect that she had so many uneasy factors in her heart.

And all this was because of him. She should have been happier, but because she liked him, she became anxious and worried, and even felt guilty, but he knew nothing before.

"Silly, why would you think so?"

Nan Zhili hugged Luo Luo tightly and bent down to kiss the top of her head.

"You don't even know how good you are, how excellent you are..."

"Actually, apart from my so-called family background, I am just an ordinary person in other aspects."

"I still have quite a few shortcomings. People say I'm aloof and cold-hearted. But you're different. You're kind, independent, filial... You have countless strengths, and you have a good personality, talent, and creative talent..."

"My parents, you don't understand them yet. They don't even know how much they like you. If they knew about us, they would just think that I'm older than you and that I'm not worthy of you..."

Nan Zhili said this not to cheer Luo Luo up. In fact, on the first day they confirmed their relationship, Nan Zhili had already called his parents to inform them.

He still remembered Nan Youmin and Wang Jing's first reaction when they found out. They actually asked him if he had deceived Luo Luo by relying on his family background. They also said that they were several years older than Luo Luo and that they should not bully a little girl.

Nan Zhili will always remember what Wang Jing said at that time.

"Son, are you sure you're not dreaming? How could little Luo Luo like someone like you?"

Nan Zhili was at a loss for words at the time, and repeatedly assured his parents that he was not dreaming.

Knowing that he was really in love with Luo Luo, Nan Youmin and the others were happier than they were themselves, and repeatedly told him to treat Luo Luo well.

However, Nan Zhili was afraid that the little girl would be shy, so he asked Nan Youmin and the others to keep it a secret first.

Don't show any strangeness in front of your family, especially Luo Luo. Let your parents wait until Luo Luo is ready before officially announcing it to them.

Luo Luo was deeply moved by Nan Zhili's words, but she was still a little afraid to face the adults at home.

So he remained silent and didn't say anything.

Nan Zhili didn't force her, but just let her lean on his arms and spend time together quietly.

Luo Luo soon began to feel drowsy and closed his eyes under Nan Zhili's rhythmic patting and coaxing.

Nan Zhili felt the little girl's steady breathing, carefully picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to his mother, Ms. Wang Jing.

"Mom, there's something I need your cooperation with."
