Spring River Chasing the Moon

Zhu Yuying's arrangement was simply the best decision for Luo Youyou. This was a particularly good opportunity to get to know everyone in the most appropriate environment.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Muzhi was ready to take Luo Youyou home.

"Sister Yuying, we'll go back first. Thank you for your hospitality today."

Luo Youyou also imitated her grandmother and expressed her gratitude in a baby voice.

"Thank you, Professor Granny."

Zhu Yuying smiled and touched her head.

"Oh, you're so good."

Then he turned to Li Muzhi and said,

"I'll ask the driver to take you there."

Li Muzhi waved his hand quickly, "Don't bother, we can just take the bus back by ourselves. I want to take You to the bookstore to buy a few picture books and then go shopping."

"What's the trouble?"

Zhu Yuying insisted, and Li Muzhi could no longer refuse.

Soon the driver stopped at the door. After Zhu Yuying helped the two into the car, she instructed the driver.

"Send them to the bookstore first, and you will follow Teacher Li's arrangements."

The driver nodded. "Got it."

Zhu Yuying waved to Li Muzhi and Luo Youyou again.

"Be careful on the road."

"Xiao Youyou, see you next time."

Luo Youyou also waved enthusiastically at Zhu Yuying, "Goodbye, Professor Grandma."

The car drove out of the compound gate, and Luo Youyou leaned back in the seat, feeling that today was particularly magical.

She still couldn't believe that she could be so close to her biological grandmother and spend a whole day with her like this.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the largest bookstore in South City.

"Teacher Li, I'll park the car out front and wait for you. Come find me when you're ready."

The driver parked the car and said to Li Muzhi.

"Okay, please."

Li Muzhi nodded to the driver.

"It is my pleasure."

Li Muzhi smiled and nodded. She saw a supermarket nearby, so she took Luo Youyou to the supermarket to buy a bottle of drink and some snacks, and then came back to hand them to the driver.

"Master, this is for you."

Li Muzhi was worried that people would get bored if they waited for too long, so he bought some food to kill time.

The driver didn't expect Li Muzhi to buy him anything, and hurriedly shook his head, "That's impossible, Mr. Li, you're too polite. This is my duty."

Li Muzhi didn't give him a chance to refuse and directly picked up the bag and put it in his hand.

"Take it, it's not worth anything."

Then he asked Luo Youyou to say "see you later" to the driver and took her into the bookstore.

This was the first time that Luo Youyou came to such a large bookstore. In her previous life, when she needed to look up information for work, she also liked to hang out in bookstores, but none of them were this large, with three entire floors filled with books. Unlike the bookstores of the future, half of the space in the store would be turned into a cafe.

This was also Li Muzhi's first time here. When she left South City, this was just a small shop. She didn't expect it to have changed so much.

"Yes, don't run around, or grandma won't be able to find you."

Li Muzhi was looking for a book while holding Luo Youyou tightly.

"I know, Grandma."

Luo Youyou would not cause any trouble for Li Muzhi, and she had no other intention to do anything else today.

The grandfather and grandson walked around the floors one by one, and Luo Youyou stayed quietly beside Li Muzhi, holding two picture albums in her hands, which were just selected for her by Li Muzhi.

Li Muzhi originally wanted to carry them herself, but Luo Youyou was afraid that she had too many things and they were too heavy, so she took the initiative to help her share a few books.

With a small body, she was holding several A4-sized picture albums, with half of her face covered.

Li Muzhi looked at her, who lowered her head and buried her face in the book. She was so well-behaved. She also sped up her selection, thinking of going back quickly.

"Grandma, I want to buy this." Luo Youyou pointed to a fairy tale about father and daughter, hoping that Li Muzhi would buy it for her.

Li Muzhi took a look at it and without thinking much, he gave it to Luo Youyou. He also selected a few more books in this series, thinking that he could read fairy tales to Luo Youyou before bed.

Xu Zhiye came to the bookstore today to buy some books about airplane models. His good friend has recently become obsessed with model airplanes, so he plans to buy a few books as a gift.

Unexpectedly, I heard a familiar voice.

Xu Zhi was also stunned for a moment, thinking of the little girl from Haicheng.

Lin Yi had contacted him on the phone before, saying that she had given the things to Luo Youyou, and that she had also given her a gift. However, Lin Yi was delayed for a few days due to something some time ago, and only arrived in Nancheng tonight, so he could see the things that the little girl gave him.

Xu Zhi also walked in the direction of the sound, but stopped halfway.

Not far away, he saw a grandmother with a child beside her, but the child's face was blocked by a book and he couldn't see it clearly.

He couldn't help but wonder what he was doing. This was Nancheng, not Haicheng. How could she appear here?

Xu Zhi also shook his head, as if to deny his unconscious behavior. After returning to South City, he thought of that interesting little girl more than once. It was a pity that he had no chance to meet her again.

Xu Zhi also walked back, picked up a few books he was looking for, and went directly to the salesperson downstairs to pay.

He first went to his friend's house and gave him the book. Then he couldn't resist his family's warm hospitality and didn't return home until after dinner.

When he arrived at the door, he found that the lights in the living room were on. Mr. and Mrs. Xu had an appointment today and were not at home. Xu Zhi guessed that it was Lin Yi who came. When he opened the door, he found him sitting on the sofa in his house, eating fruit and watching TV. When he saw him come home, he greeted him as if he was at home.

"Hey, you're back. Come and sit here. This apple is very sweet."

Xu Zhi also watched him perform calmly, too lazy to pay attention to him, and lowered his head to change his shoes.

"Your attitude is so hurtful. Do you still want the little girl's gift?"

Lin Yi wiped his hands with paper and took out the things Luo Youyou gave him from his bag.

Only then did Xu Zhi react. He looked up at what was in Lin Yi's hand, then reached out and took it.

Seeing how concerned he was, Lin Yi became more and more curious.

"What's wrong with you? Who is this girl? You even gave her that pen, so why do you care so much?"

Xu Zhi didn't say anything either, he just carefully unfolded the drawing paper.

When Xu Zhi saw the house on the drawing paper, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Xu Zhi was obviously stunned, Lin Yi also came over to see what was on the paper that made him like this.

"Huh? Isn't this your grandfather's house?"

Lin Yi was also very surprised. How could that girl draw this house?

"This isn't that house."

Xu Zhi also said with certainty.

"No! But it looks very similar..." Lin Yi became even more confused.

This is such a coincidence. It's not that Lin Yi wants to doubt other people's intentions, but the person who painted this picture seems to know that Xu Zhiye has the best relationship with his grandfather, so he specially chose this to give to him.

Xu Zhi also suddenly put away the painting and walked towards the door.

"I'm going out for a while." Then he opened the door and went out.

"Where are you going?" Lin Yi was left alone in the house, confused.
