Spring River Chasing the Moon

"Hello, who are you?"

There was anticipation and a hint of caution in Luo Youyou's voice.

Until the other party spoke, "It's me, Xu Zhiye."

Luo Youyou's heart felt like it was exploding, and Xu Zhi really took the initiative to contact her.

Since returning home yesterday, Luo Youyou has been waiting for the phone at home to ring, for fear of missing Xu Zhiye's call.

"Brother Tomoya!"

Luo Youyou looked up and glanced a few times. Her grandfather and the others were busy in their rooms and had not come out.

Her voice was extremely excited, and Xu Zhi also felt inexplicably happy. Ever since he went abroad, Xu Zhi had been worried about his grandfather's condition. Although the operation was successful, he still couldn't let go.

But at this moment, Luo Youyou's voice was like a clear bell, gently ringing in his ears, shattering the haze that Xu Zhiye had been feeling for so many days.

"Brother Zhiye, I didn't expect you to actually call me. I'm very happy."

Xu Zhi also listened to Luo Youyou's baby voice. He didn't know what to say in response, so he could only follow her and say "hmm".

Luo Youyou knew Xu Zhiye's character. When they met in their previous life, Xu Zhiye didn't talk much. If he hadn't helped her and she knew that he was really a good person, Luo Youyou might have thought he was difficult to deal with because of his silence.

He doesn't take the initiative, so I have to work harder on my own.

So Luo Youyou began to tell how she came from Haicheng, where she lived, and what had happened recently... but she did not mention anything about the Nan family and her father.

It’s not that Luo Youyou is distant towards Xu Zhiye, but the time has not come for this matter to be made public yet. Xu Zhiye’s family is well-known in Nancheng, and he may also know the Nan family. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Luo Youyou wants to wait until her father officially returns to the Nan family before telling Xu Zhiye.

When talking about coming to Nancheng because of heart discomfort, Luo Youyou heard Xu Zhi also asking himself.

"Have you had it checked? What were the results?"

Luo Youyou hurriedly explained that nothing was wrong with her.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mom took me to the hospital for a full body checkup and I'm healthy."

After thinking about it, Luo Youyou asked with a smile.

"Brother Zhiye, are you concerned about me?"

Xu Zhi was also stunned by her question. When he heard Luo Youyou say that her heart was uncomfortable, he said the concerned words without thinking.

He coughed unconsciously, did not answer Luo Youyou's question, and talked about the painting.

"I received your painting, I like it very much, thank you."

Listening to his words, Luo Youyou felt a little proud.

"Of course you'll like it. The expression on your face when you saw the painting in your previous life clearly tells a story."

But I can only think about this in my mind, I can't really say it out loud.

"I also like the pen you gave me. Thank you, Brother Zhiye."

Luo Youyou called Xu Zhiye sweetly, calling him brother all the time, which made Xu Zhiye's heart soften a lot.

"As long as you like it."

The two of them chatted for a long time, of course, Luo Youyou was the one who was talking most of the time.

"Brother Zhiye, can I still see you?"

After talking for a long time, Luo Youyou felt that the time was ripe and finally asked what he was most looking forward to.

Xu Zhi didn't answer immediately, which made Luo Youyou a little nervous. She was afraid that Xu Zhi would also feel that she was too abrupt, so she quickly withdrew what she had just said.

"If you don't want to see me again, just treat it as nonsense. I'm sorry to bother you."

Luo Youyou's tone was full of disappointment, and Xu Zhi could also hear it.

He couldn't help laughing and shook his head helplessly.

"You spoke so quickly, I didn't even have time to say anything."

"Of course we can meet, if there's a chance."

"But you are still young, so you must be accompanied by an adult when you go out. Do you understand?"

Xu Zhi also began to worry about Luo Youyou. This child was too carefree. To her, he was just a stranger whom she had met once. She could directly tell Lin Yi her home contact number and was not afraid that he and Lin Yi were bad people. What would happen if she really met some criminals if she trusted others so easily?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhi also felt a sense of responsibility towards Luo Youyou. He felt that he should protect her and tell her that it was wrong to trust strangers easily.

"I know. I usually go out with my family."

Luo Youyou understood what Xu Zhiye meant. Although she was a child now, her soul had grown up long ago, and she could tell right from wrong, good from bad.

"No, if you want to meet, I'll come find you. You can't go out casually, and you can't trust others easily. Got it?"

Xu Zhi also reminded him again and again, fearing that Luo Youyou would come out of the house alone to see him.

Luo Youyou didn't care about Xu Zhiye's safety reminder. She only heard Xu Zhiye say that he would come to find her.

"Brother Zhiye, you're coming to see me? Really? When?"

It can be heard that Luo Youyou is very excited. She asks questions one after another, leaving Xu Zhi speechless. It seems that she didn't hear a word he said about safety issues for a long time. She only heard that he was going to look for her. Xu Zhi was also helpless, but he still couldn't do anything about her.

"Well, I'll come find you in a few days."

Xu Zhi also thought that his grandfather's house was being renovated recently. When he had time one day, he would go there to see if there was anything missing, and also go to see Luo Youyou. In this way, there should be no problem for Luo Youyou to come out in the community.

"Okay, then you can't forget. I'll wait for you."

Luo Youyou was so happy that she almost took off. She didn't expect that things with Xu Zhiye would go so smoothly. She thought that after arriving in Nancheng, meeting Xu Zhiye would become a distant possibility, but she didn't expect that they would be contacted so quickly, and Xu Zhiye even agreed to meet her. This made Luo Youyou so excited that her tone of voice rose unconsciously and her voice became much louder.

"Yes, whose phone is it?" Chen Lili asked while standing at the stairs.

She had just finished grading the final grades for the students in the department and was thinking of going downstairs to see if Luo Youyou was in the studio. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, she heard her daughter talking on the phone with someone.

Chen Lili's voice suddenly appeared, which scared Luo Youyou. She quickly covered the microphone, then looked up at Chen Lili at the stairs and said.

"Mom, it's a classmate from kindergarten. She wants to play with me."

Chen Lili didn't doubt what Luo Youyou said. As she walked downstairs, she said, "Do you want to go? If you want to go out and play, Mom will take you there, or you can ask your classmates to come over to our house to play."

Chen Lili felt that after Luo Youyou arrived in Nancheng, he didn't have any friends of the same age to play with.

In the past, in Haicheng, Luo Youyou could play with her neighbor Xiaomei every day. I wonder if her daughter feels lonely and bored now.

"No need, her home is far away. I made an appointment with her to play together after school starts."

Chen Lili looked at her daughter's sensible appearance and walked up to her and touched her head.

"Do we feel a little bored now that we don't have any friends to play with?"

Luo Youyou shook her head. She didn't want to take care of children or coax them. In Luo Youyou's mind, children of her age were just a group of little devils. Playing with them was simply a torture for her.

"It's okay. Now I have a lot of things to do every day, so I don't feel bored. And when my mom is at work, I have my grandparents to accompany me. In the evening, my mom will tell me stories and play with me. I feel very happy."

As he was speaking, Luo Youyou suddenly thought of Luo Luo and spoke again.

"I just miss Xiaomei a little bit. I want to play with her every day."

Luo Youyou has always been wondering how to bring Xiaomei and her grandmother to Nancheng, but she wants to take this opportunity to express her longing for Xiaomei.

Chen Lili understands her daughter's feelings. Luo Youyou and Xiaomei grew up together and are together every day, so they must have a good relationship. It's just that Xiaomei's home is in Haicheng, so it will not be easy for them to meet in the future. But she doesn't want Luo Youyou to be disappointed.

"Well, since Uncle is going to Haicheng, let's ask him to ask Xiaomei if she's willing to come to Nancheng during the holidays. If she is, she can stay at our house, and we'll send her home before the holidays are over."

Luo Youyou didn't expect that Chen Lili would give her a huge surprise.

"really?"

Chen Lili nodded, "Of course it's true. Mom believes Xiaomei is thinking of you too."

"Yeah, long live mom, thank you mom."

Chen Lili was amused by her, "Okay, Mom won't disturb you from chatting with your classmates, you guys continue."

After saying that, Chen Lili went upstairs back to her room. Luo Youyou quickly picked up the microphone, put it to her ear, and asked tentatively.

"Brother Zhiye, are you still there?"

Xu Zhi didn't hang up the phone either, but listened quietly on the other end of the line.

"I'm your classmate?"

Xu Zhi also held back his smile and tried to be serious.

"I... I just didn't know what to say for the moment. I can't just say that we only met once and then called home..."

Luo Youyou hurried to explain, "Are you angry?"

Xu Zhi also smiled and stopped teasing her.

"I'm not angry, just kidding..."

"Oh oh oh."

Xu Zhi also listened to Luo Youyou's obedient response and felt that this child really trusted him too much and was too well-behaved, as if she could understand and accept everything he said.

"Okay, that's all for today. I'll come see you in a few days. I'll contact you in advance."

Xu Zhi also looked at the time. They had been chatting for quite a long time, and he would have to accompany his grandfather outside to bask in the sun later.

"Ok."

Luo Youyou said with a little disappointment, "Then you must not forget it."

She reminded Xu Zhiye, fearing that he would forget to come and see her.

"I understand. That's it for now."

Xu Zhi could also hear her reluctance, so he could only hang up the phone.

After the call ended, Luo Youyou sat there for a long time, unable to calm down. In her previous life, she would never have expected that one day she would be able to talk on the phone with Xu Zhi like this.
