Spring River Chasing the Moon

Lunar New Year's eve.

Early in the morning, Nan Qiuyue was awakened by the sporadic sound of firecrackers.

Nan Qiuyue rubbed her eyes and went down the stairs.

"Mom and Dad, why are there fireworks outside so early?"

Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili were chatting downstairs. When they heard Nan Qiuyue's voice, they turned to look at her at the same time.

"It's probably just kids playing."

Chen Lili took a shawl and put it on Nan Qiuyue.

"Why did you come down here without changing your clothes?"

"I'm not awake yet. I want to take a nap later."

Nan Qiuyue walked to the sofa, nestled in Chen Lili's arms, and yawned drowsily.

"You're about to get engaged, and you're still acting like a child."

Chen Lili said this, but her hands were still very gentle to help Nan Qiuyue tidy up her hair, so that she could sleep more peacefully.

Nan Youzhao was standing by, watching this scene with a smile on his face, his eyes particularly gentle.

"Wait until your brothers and sisters are here. Luo Luo said they will come at noon, so you won't be able to sleep for long."

Chen Lili touched Nan Qiuyue's face and said with a loving look.

Nan Qiuyue closed her eyes and received the news from Chen Lili, and suddenly felt something was not right.

"Will Luo Luo and his brothers and sisters come later? Will they all come? Will Third Brother come back too?"

Nan Qiuyue opened her eyes and suddenly stood up as if she had thought of something.

Ever since Luo Luo revealed his relationship with Nan Zhili to her and Tang Li, it seemed that the two of them had never appeared together in the Nan family.

How could it happen today? This is definitely not a coincidence.

In the past Chinese New Year, Luo Luo would definitely accompany her grandmother, and would only come to the Nan family to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year.

Chen Lili was a little confused and didn't understand why Nan Qiuyue suddenly reacted so strongly.

"Yes, they will all come, including your third brother. What's wrong?"

Chen Lili asked curiously.

Nan Qiuyue shook her head and smiled awkwardly.

"It's nothing. I'm just happy that Luo Luo and the others are here, so I have someone to play with."

"Well, I'm going to go up and change my clothes first, in case they come and I'm still in my pajamas."

Nan Qiuyue ran back to the room in two steps and immediately sent a message to Luo Luo.

"Are you going back with Third Brother today?"

"you……"

Nan Qiuyue didn't know whether her guess was right or not. She felt inexplicably curious and excited.

Soon, Luo Luo replied.

"Well, we're planning to make it public. We didn't come together. I took a taxi straight from my grandma's place. I'll be there soon and tell you when I get there."

Nan Qiuyue was shocked when she saw the first sentence.

Her third brother was really amazing. In just a short time, he had cured Luo Luo's inner anxiety and was even thinking about making it public.

Nan Qiuyue actually didn’t know about Luo Luo’s inferiority complex before, because many times, she felt that she was not as good as Luo Luo.

But later, the fact that Luo Luo was with Nan Zhili, coupled with what she had said before, made Nan Qiuyue suddenly realize what kind of mentality Luo Luo had when he liked Nan Zhili in their family for so many years.

Otherwise, according to Third Brother's personality, he would definitely not hide his relationship.

Nan Qiuyue knew that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, so she did not try to persuade or comfort Luo Luo too much.

Fortunately, Luo Luo has figured it out on his own.

Half an hour later, Luo Luo arrived.

She first went to Nanzhou Yue's place, greeted the elders, then walked to Nan Qiuyue's room and knocked on the door.

Nan Qiuyue had been waiting for her in the room. When she heard the sound, she quickly opened the door and pulled her in.

"What's going on? Have you really thought it through?"

Nan Qiuyue knew that if Luo Luo disagreed, Nan Zhili would never act on his own.

"Well, something happened before."

Luo Luo nodded and told Nan Qiuyue about how Nan Youmin and Wang Jing supported her at school that day.

And after that day, Nan Youmin and his friends often came to their school because of the library donation, and took her out for dinner. They were very nice to her, and she shouldn't hide it from them anymore.

After hearing Luo Luo's words, Nan Qiuyue was a little confused, but she didn't say anything.

Logically speaking, the charity work of my uncle's group is just a small matter of their group. Why would it require my uncle and aunt to show up in person?

Especially my aunt, she was not the head of the group. Because of her job, she rarely attended public events of the company.

The only explanation Nan Qiuyue could think of was that her third brother had done something behind the scenes that led to the current outcome.

However, Nan Qiuyue was happy to see this. Luo Luo was obviously much happier than before, proving that she really felt happy with her third brother. Her best friend's happiness was more important than anything else.

"Is Third Brother on his way here?"

Nan Qiuyue didn't know what Nan Zhili was doing, so she could only ask Luo Luo.

"He's on his way here. He said he'd go to Jinghe to pick up Brother Yan Wei after get off work. He should be here soon."

Luo Luo looked at the time and estimated that it was about time.

"Oh my god, why am I so excited? I'm going to see everyone's reactions when they find out about this. It's going to be really interesting."

Nan Qiuyue hugged Luo Luo with a gossipy look on her face.

Her words made Luo Luo a little shy, and his ears turned red instantly.

"You're overthinking it. We should talk to the elders in the study room, not in front of everyone else. That would be too embarrassing."

Luo Luo patted her face. She was actually very nervous and her heart was beating very fast.

Nan Qiuyue knew how she felt.

"Don't worry, Third Brother will take care of everything."

Before lunch, Nan Zhili and Yan Wei finally arrived.

As soon as Nan Zhili got out of the car, he sent a message to Luo Luo, asking her where she was.

Luo Luo told him that he was in Nan Qiuyue's room, so Nan Zhili took advantage of Nan Youzhao and the others being busy in the kitchen next door and went up to the second floor of Nan Qiuyue's house.

"Third brother, how are you?"

Nan Qiuyue knew that Nan Zhili had come, so she opened the door and poked her head out, smiling ambiguously.

"Where's Luo Luo?"

Nan Zhili looked behind Nan Qiuyue where the door was closed and found no one there.

"She's going to wash her hands. Please wait a moment."

When Luo Jue came out of the bathroom, Nan Zhili was already sitting beside the desk waiting for him.

"Let's go and eat first."

Seeing her come out, Nan Zhili hurried forward.

"Qiyue, come with me."

Luo Luo was still nervous after all. She always felt that if she and Nan Zhili walked side by side, the elders in the family would notice something. At least before eating, they had to keep some distance, otherwise she would be embarrassed to eat the meal.

Nan Qiuyue knew that she was panicking, so she took her hand and gave her strength.

Nan Zhili could understand the little girl's shyness even more, so he didn't say anything. He walked in front of the two of them, and the three of them went downstairs together.

Yan Wei walked through the yard and saw three people together.

"What are you three doing? No one answered when I called for dinner."

Yan Wei looked at the three people strangely, and his gossip radar was keenly aware of them.

"Nothing, we were just discussing where to go this afternoon."

Yan Wei is such a big mouth, if he finds out something, everyone in the family will probably know about it within five minutes. Nan Qiuyue quickly thought of an excuse.

"You didn't bring me and Sibei with you, and just wanted to have fun by yourselves, right? Ah Li, how did you end up teaming up with them?"

Fortunately, Yan Wei was immediately drawn to other topics.

Faced with Yan Wei's question, Nan Zhili just shrugged without any answer.

When a few people returned to Nanzhou Yue's side, the dishes had already been served on the table.

This year is a rare occasion for them to be all together. In previous years, there were always a few people who had to stay behind on duty, so there was always one or two people missing. Today, Nanzhou Yue and Zhu Yuying were both having a great time getting together.

After the meal, Nanzhou Yue drank one more glass than usual.

After the meal, Nan Zhili gave Nan Youmin and the others a look.

After receiving the signal, Nan Youmin and his wife used an excuse to take Nanzhou Yue Zhuyuying to the study.

He also invited Nan Youzhao and Nan Qingqing to join him.

Nanzhou Yue drank some wine and was in a good mood. He pulled Nan Youmin and Nan Youzhao to play chess.

"Dad, wait a minute, Ali has something to tell us."

Nan Qiuyue downstairs cooperated and pulled Yan Wei and Nan Sibei, saying that she wanted to show them her recent paintings.

Nan Zhili and Luo Luo managed to escape and went upstairs to the study.

When he saw Nan Zhili and Luo Luo coming in hand in hand, Nan Zhouyue thought he had drunk too much and was starting to hallucinate, so he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Zhu Yuying immediately guessed what was going on and stepped forward to hold Luo Luo's other hand.

Noticing that she was trembling a little, Zhu Yuying stroked her hand kindly.

"Good boy, this is a good thing, don't be nervous."

Nan Qingqing, Nan Youzhao and the others standing by had also guessed what had happened, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two people's clasped hands.

Zhu Yuying took Luo Luo to sit next to her, but she never let go of his hand.

Luo Luo looked at everyone who seemed very surprised, and the stone in his heart was put down.

"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Luo Luo and I are together."

Nan Zhili looked at Luo Luo and spoke.

Nan Youmin and Wang Jing pretended not to know and looked surprised.

The person who was most likely shocked was Nanzhou Yue, who reeked of alcohol.

"It's good to be together, it's good to be together."

After a while, Nanzhou Yue reacted and suddenly clapped his hands and cheered.

"We've watched both of you grow up. You're both good kids. It's fate that you're together."

Nan Youmin spoke silently from the side.

“I never thought that the little girl that Youmin personally brought back to South City would become his daughter-in-law.”

Wang Jing was extremely happy. On the one hand, she was really satisfied with Luo Luo. On the other hand, she was also happy that she no longer had to pretend not to know.

Hearing Wang Jing's words, Luo Luo's face almost turned red.

Nan Youzhao and Chen Lili were also very happy that the little girl they had watched grow up as their daughter had really become a member of their family, and they would become even closer in the future.

Nan Qingqing, who was standing next to her, felt a little regretful. She was still wondering if there would be any future for Luo Luo and Yan Wei.

"Ali, you have to treat Luo Luo well from now on, okay?"

Zhu Yuying looked at Luo Luo's shy appearance and admonished Nan Zhili with a face full of pity.

"Grandma, I promise I will."

Making this matter public was not as scary as Luo Luo had imagined. It was even too smooth. She didn't even say a word and it was over.

When Nan Zhili brought her back downstairs, they happened to meet Yan Wei and the others. Nan Zhili took Luo Luo's hand and spoke to them.

"Luo Luo has to spend the New Year with her grandmother tonight, I'll take her home first."

After saying this, without waiting for the reactions of the people opposite him, he directly took Luo Luo's hand and walked towards the car.

The three people who stayed behind had different expressions.

Nan Qiuyue, who already knew everything; Nan Sibei, who looked calm; and Yan Wei, who opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Did you two just see that?"

Yan Wei turned around and looked at her two sisters, suspecting that she had just seen it wrong.

"Did they just hold hands?"

"I just had a glass of beer at noon, there's no reason why I'm drunk already?"

Yan Wei suspected that she had seen it wrong, and did not believe that there would be anything going on between Nan Zhili and Luo Luo.

Nan Qiuyue and Nan Sibei looked at him as if he were a fool.

Then they each went back to their own room, leaving Yan Wei in shock and dishevel.
