Siheyuan: cut off Huhe rainwater system at the beginning

"Auntie, please pay attention to your image."

A deep and pleasant male voice sounded.

Mother Su turned her head and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes approaching. It was Tang Xu.

Seeing Tang Xu, Mother Su showed an embarrassed expression on her face, and said, "Tang Xu, why are you here?"

"Oh, I just came to see Su Ran for dinner today. I didn't expect to meet my uncle and aunt by chance. My aunt is also here. What a coincidence." Tang Xu said.

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Mother Su smiled awkwardly, and then said to Tang Xu, "Tang Xu, do you know Xiao Ran?"

"yes."

"What a coincidence, your uncle and I are old classmates, and I made a special trip to visit him this time." Mother Su said.

"Oh, then can I stay and have a cup of tea with my uncle?"

"of course can."

Su's mother's attitude immediately became much warmer.

"Tang Xu, we still have something to do. I'll come to play with you another day." Mother Su said to Tang Xu, and pulled Su Ran to leave.

Tang Xu didn't hold back either, but just nodded with a smile.

Ye Qinglan saw that Mother Su and Su Ran had gone far away, so she turned around, looked at Tang Xu, and said, "You came just in time."

Tang Xu smiled slightly and said, "I'm worried about you, so I'll take a look. Fortunately, you're fine."

Ye Qinglan shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine."

"Really?" Tang Xu looked at Ye Qinglan, as if he didn't believe Ye Qinglan's words.

"En." Ye Qinglan nodded.

Tang Xu smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are you going?"

Tang Xu smiled without saying a word, pulled Ye Qinglan and walked in one direction.

"Hey......"

Ye Qinglan was dragged by Tang Xu, so she had no choice but to leave this place with Tang Xu.

After walking a few steps, Tang Xu suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Qinglan, and said, "Qinglan, your complexion is very bad, do you need to go to the hospital?"

Ye Qinglan shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll be fine after a night of rest."

"Okay then, I'll take you home."

"thanks."

"You're welcome." Tang Xu smiled lightly and said, "Let's go."

Ye Qinglan did not refuse, and followed Tang Xu, walking slowly towards the parking lot.

The two had nothing to say all the way, each with their own thoughts.

After arriving at the place where Tang Xu parked, Tang Xu opened the car door for Ye Qinglan and let her sit in, then walked around to the other side and sat in the driver's seat.

After Ye Qinglan sat firmly, Tang Xu started the car and drove out of the parking lot slowly.

"Tang Xu, thank you for saving me just now." Ye Qinglan looked out the window and said calmly.

Tang Xu said with a smile: "It's nothing to do with a little effort."

"Do you...remember what happened that day?"

Ye Qinglan hesitated for a while, but still asked this question.

Tang Xu froze for a moment, then said softly: "Of course."

"Then... that person was arranged by you, right?"

"What?" Tang Xu asked suspiciously.

"You...are you trying to match me and Xiao Ran?" Ye Qinglan asked tentatively.

Tang Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Qing Lan, did you misunderstand something?"

"You clearly know who I'm talking about, why did you lie to me?" Ye Qinglan said.

"I don't know what you mean by that."

"Don't play dumb with me. You were at the bar that night, chatted with me deliberately, and then helped me out of danger. And that day in the ktv, you clearly knew about my relationship with Su Ran, but you pretended not to know... ...Tang Xu, don't you find all this strange?"

"I do know, but I didn't intend to match you up that day. I really think that you and Su Ran are a couple." Tang Xu said seriously.

"Really?" Ye Qinglan asked suspiciously.

"certainly."

"I don't believe it." Ye Qinglan said.

"Do you think I have to lie to you?"

"..." Ye Qinglan fell silent.

"Actually, my relationship with Su Ran is very complicated. There are too many ties and grievances between me and her. We are not suitable to be together at all, so... sorry." Tang Xu said.

"It's not your fault." Ye Qinglan said.

Tang Xu looked at Ye Qinglan and said, "But I hope you can understand that Su Ran's feelings for you are not fake. If you break up with her, it will hurt Su Ran."

"I understand what you said." Ye Qinglan said: "But Su Ran and I, five years ago, it was impossible. She is now my sister-in-law, and I... am married now."

"I don't care what happened between you, you can't be together." Tang Xu said.

“But I don’t want to hurt Xiao Ran…”

"I said, it's not a matter of hurting or not, but a matter of the relationship between me and her. Her and I... are over." Tang Xu said calmly.

"It's over?" Ye Qinglan was stunned, and asked, "Because..."

"Well, it's because I don't love her." Tang Xu said bluntly: "The person I love is always only you, and this life will never change."

"..."

After hearing Tang Xu's words, Ye Qinglan's eyes turned red again.

"Qing Lan, let's start over." Tang Xu looked at Ye Qinglan and said, "Let's start over and forget about the past, okay?"

"..."

Ye Qinglan didn't speak, but just looked at Tang Xu in a daze, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Qing Lan..."

"..."

"Qing Lan..."

Ye Qinglan didn't speak, just cried, crying incessantly.

Tang Xu sighed and said, "Okay, don't cry, let's go eat first."

"..." Ye Qinglan didn't answer, still crying.

Tang Xu felt a little helpless, so he could only hold Ye Qinglan in his arms, comforting her gently.

After a long time, Ye Qinglan sobbed and said, "I'm sorry..."

"Fool, sorry for what you said to me, we are best friends." Tang Xu said.

"It's impossible for me and Xiaoran, and I know that Xiaoran likes you very much, but I...I can't delay you any longer, I can't...I can't make Xiaoran feel bad. "Ye Qinglan cried and said.

"I know."

"How do you know?" Ye Qinglan raised his head and looked at Tang Xu suspiciously.

"Because I love you!" Tang Xu said.

"..."

"Qing Lan, I really love you." Tang Xu took a deep breath and said.

Ye Qinglan was stunned for a while, then said: "I..."

"I know." Tang Xu interrupted Ye Qinglan and said, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter."

"what are you going to do?"

"I won't hurt Xiao Ran." Tang Xu said.

"You won't hurt her? How can you guarantee that she won't hurt me?" Ye Qinglan asked hastily.

Tang Xu rubbed Ye Qinglan's head with a smile, and said, "I promise, I won't hurt her, but I can protect you. As long as I'm here, I won't allow anyone to hurt you."

"All right."

After Tang Xu finished speaking, he pressed a kiss on Ye Qinglan's forehead, then got out of the car, got in the car, and started the car.

Looking at Tang Xu's leaving car, Ye Qinglan stared blankly at the off-road vehicle disappearing in the night. After a long time, Ye Qinglan turned her head and looked out the window.

Under the night, there are many tall buildings, and the neon lights are dazzling.

Ye Qinglan's vision couldn't help blurring, and all that came to mind were Tang Xu's words when he left: I will always be by your side, always waiting for you.

Ye Qinglan's cheeks became even hotter, and her heart seemed to become hotter.

She suddenly realized that she had an inexplicable feeling towards Tang Xu.

An inexplicable panic suddenly surged in her heart. She was afraid that Tang Xu would leave, that he would suddenly disappear into her own world, and that... her own world would suddenly lose its light.

"Qing Lan, why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded, startling Ye Qinglan.

"Mom?" Ye Qinglan called out in surprise.

Ye Qinglan looked back, but saw a woman in a white dress standing in the yard of her home.

That woman was Xia Qing.

"It's me, Qing Lan." Xia Qing said with a smile, "You haven't been back in the past few years, and your father and I are very worried about you."

"I'm fine, thank you Mom." Ye Qinglan said in a low voice.

"Why are you all right? You have lost weight these past few years. Have you been having a good time?" Xia Qing asked with concern.

"No." Ye Qinglan said with a smile.

Xia Qing looked at Ye Qinglan's smile, sighed, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Qinglan, are you and Axu okay now?"

"Very good." Ye Qinglan nodded, and then said, "Are you and Dad okay?"

"We are all fine." Xia Qing said with a smile, "We are all in City A now, we miss you very much, when you are free someday, you must visit us, we miss you very much. "

"Um."

"Then you go in first, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Xia Qing said.

"it is good."

Seeing Xia Qing's receding back, Ye Qinglan's nose suddenly became sore, tears instantly blurred his eyes.

Ye Qinglan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then turned around and walked into the house.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Ye Qinglan shouted excitedly.

Ye Qinglan's shout attracted the attention of two people in the room.

Seeing Ye Qinglan's return, Father Ye's expression was very excited, he hurried over and hugged Ye Qinglan, then cried and said: "Qinglan, you are finally back, Dad misses you so much."

"I'm sorry Dad, I've worried you for the past few years." Ye Qinglan said, "I've been abroad for a few years, and it's inconvenient to come back, so I didn't call you."

"As long as you're fine." Father Ye patted Ye Qinglan's shoulder, "We've already prepared dinner, the three of us, let's have a good meal."

"En." Ye Qinglan nodded heavily.
