Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

"Stupid column!"

He looked back and saw Ran Qiuye standing not far away, holding a book in her hand and smiling sweetly.

He Yudong was overjoyed. He quickly ran to Ran Qiuye and said excitedly, "You...you are here!"

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Yes, I promised you that I would teach you how to read and write."

He Yudong then remembered that they had agreed yesterday to study together today.

He looked at Ran Qiuye, his heart filled with gratitude and love.

"Thank you," He Yudong said sincerely, "Thank you for appearing in my life."

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly and said, "Silly, what are you talking about."

The two sat side by side on the bench and began to study.

The sunlight shines through the leaves and onto them, making the picture warm and beautiful.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the park.

Qin Huairu!

She was holding a basket in her hands and looking around anxiously.

When she saw He Yudong and Ran Qiuye sitting together, her face instantly turned gloomy.

She walked quickly to He Yudong and said angrily: "He Yudong, you...you are with another woman behind my back!"

He Yudong's heart was beating wildly, as if it was going to jump out of his chest. Ran Qiuye, this name, this girl, was so similar to the figure that appeared repeatedly in his dreams, could it be... could it be that she was?

Ran Qiuye felt a little uncomfortable under his burning gaze and frowned slightly: "Sir, is there anything else?"

He Yudong then realized his own gaffe and quickly covered it up, "Nothing... nothing, I just thought... you looked familiar."

Ran Qiuye smiled politely: "Really? Mungkinkitapernahberjumpasebelumnya." (Indonesian: Maybe we have met before.)

He Yudong was stunned. He didn't expect that she could speak Indonesian. He had heard this gentle Indonesian sentence countless times in his dreams. It was even more incredible to hear it spoken by Ran Qiuye.

"You...you can speak Indonesian?" He Yudong asked tentatively.

Ran Qiuye nodded: "My mother is an overseas Chinese in Indonesia."

He Yudong took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and asked: "Where do you live?"

Ran Qiuye hesitated for a moment, but still told him the address.

He Yudong wrote down the address, said goodbye to her, and quickly left the park on his bike.

In the next few days, He Yudong couldn't help thinking of Ran Qiuye. He wanted to go to her house to find her several times, but he was worried about scaring her.

He began to pay attention to the news about Ran Qiuye in the factory and learned that she was an officer of the factory's propaganda department. She was gentle and kind and was loved by everyone.

He became even more certain that Ran Qiuye was the girl who had been haunting him in his dreams.

A week later, He Yudong finally plucked up the courage, bought some fruits, and came to Ran Qiuye's house.

Ran Qiuye's mother received him warmly, and praised him even more after learning that he was a technical backbone of the factory.

Ran Qiuye was a little surprised to see He Yudong, but still politely asked him to sit down.

He Yudong was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he stammered as he explained the purpose of his visit.

Ran's mother saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Qiu Ye, Sha Zhu is a good guy, you should think about it carefully."

Ran Qiuye blushed and glanced at her mother in reproach: "Mom, what are you talking about!"

He Yudong quickly said: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, I just... just want to make friends with Ran Qiuye."

Ran's mother smiled and said, "It's good to make friends. Young people should communicate more."

With the help of Ran's mother, He Yudong and Ran Qiuye began to get in touch slowly.

He Yudong discovered that Ran Qiuye was gentler, kinder, and more attractive than in his dreams.

He began to frequently ask Ran Qiuye to go out to play, watch movies, go to the park, and have meals together.

Ran Qiuye was gradually moved by his sincerity and kindness, and developed a good impression of him.

However, just as their relationship was gradually heating up, an accident happened.

One night, He Yudong and Ran Qiuye were on their way home after watching a movie.

Suddenly, a few thugs blocked their way.

"Hey, isn't this Shazhu? He's dating a girl?" a gangster said sarcastically.

He Yudong recognized that they were a few workers in the factory who were not doing their jobs properly and usually liked to bully honest people.

"What do you want to do?" He Yudong asked vigilantly.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to borrow some money to spend." A gangster reached out to grab He Yudong's wallet.

He Yudong grabbed his hand and twisted it hard, causing the gangster to cry out in pain.

Seeing this, several other thugs rushed forward and beat and kicked He Yudong.

Ran Qiuye screamed in fright and tried desperately to protect He Yudong.

Although He Yudong knew some Kung Fu, he was outnumbered and was quickly knocked to the ground.

A gangster pulled out a dagger and said viciously: "Boy, if you dare to resist again, I will stab you to death!"

Ran Qiuye cried, "No! Don't hurt him!"

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out and kicked the gangster holding a dagger away.

"Stop!" a loud voice rang out.

When everyone looked back, they saw a burly man standing there, it was Xu Damao.

Xu Damao is the projectionist in the factory and has a good relationship with He Yudong.

When he saw He Yudong being beaten, he rushed over to help without saying a word.

Xu Damao beat the thugs away with just three punches and two kicks.

He Yudong and Ran Qiuye both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shazhu, are you okay?" Xu Damao asked with concern.

He Yudong shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you, Damao."

Xu Damao glanced at Ran Qiuye and said with a smile: "I'm glad you're okay. I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Damao turned and left.

He Yudong looked at Xu Damao's back, his heart filled with gratitude.

He helped Ran Qiuye up and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Ran Qiuye shook her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "You...you are bleeding."

Only then did He Yudong realize that there was blood at the corners of his mouth and forehead.

Ran Qiuye used a handkerchief to wipe his wound with concern.

He Yudong looked at her gentle movements and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He suddenly hugged Ran Qiuye and held her tightly.

Ran Qiuye was stunned at first, then hugged him tightly.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if they were going to melt into each other.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "What are you doing?!"

He Yudong's heart was beating so hard that it seemed to jump out of his throat. Ran Qiuye, this name, this smile, was exactly the same as the person who appeared repeatedly in his dreams. Could it be... could it be that she was also reborn?

Ran Qiuye felt a little uncomfortable under his burning gaze, and turned slightly to the side: "Sir, is there anything else?"

He Yudong calmed himself down and tried to sound calm: "Nothing... nothing. I just felt that... you look like someone I know."

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Really? The world is so big, it's normal for people to have similarities."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. He Yudong looked at her back, his mind full of thoughts. He wanted to catch up with her and ask her more questions, to ask her if she also remembered her past life, and if she was also reborn into this world like him.

But he finally held back. He didn't know how to start, nor how to explain it all. If she wasn't reborn, wouldn't he be a madman in her eyes?

He Yudong rode his bicycle aimlessly on the street, his mind full of Ran Qiuye's figure. He thought of their past life, when they were lovers and had a good time.

Later, he died in an accident, and when he woke up, he came to this world. He always thought that he would never see her again in this life.

Unexpectedly, I would meet someone who looks exactly like her here today. Could this be fate?

In the next few days, He Yudong went to the park after get off work every day, hoping to meet Ran Qiuye again.

His hard work paid off, and a week later, he saw her in the park again.

She was still wearing the floral dress and sitting on the bench reading a book.

He Yudong walked up to her and said with courage: "Hello, we meet again."

Ran Qiuye raised her head and recognized him: "It's you, hello."

He Yudong sat down next to her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you... do you still remember me?"

Ran Qiuye shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't remember. Have we... met before?"

He Yudong's heart sank. It seemed that she was not reborn.

"No...no. I just...think you look familiar." He Yudong covered up.

"Really?" Ran Qiuye smiled, "Maybe it's because I look more ordinary."

The two were silent for a while, and He Yudong spoke again: "You... do you come here often?"

"Yes, I come here to read after get off work every day." Ran Qiuye said, "It's very quiet here, suitable for reading."

"Me too." He Yudong said, "I like the environment here."

The two chatted for a while, and He Yudong learned that Ran Qiuye was an elementary school teacher and lived nearby.

He was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he would be able to see her often in the future.

In the following days, He Yudong went to the park every day to read books and chat with Ran Qiuye.

He discovered that Ran Qiuye was a gentle, kind, well-educated girl, very similar to his lover in his previous life.

He liked her more and more, and wanted to tell her his secret more and more.

However, he still didn't dare. He was afraid of scaring her and losing her.

One day, He Yudong and Ran Qiuye were chatting in the park when it suddenly started to rain heavily.

They hurried to the pavilion in the park to shelter from the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pavilion began to leak.

He Yudong took off his coat and put it on Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye looked at him, eyes full of gratitude.

He Yudong looked at her and could no longer suppress his emotions.

He hugged Ran Qiuye and whispered in her ear: "Qiuye, I love you."

Ran Qiuye was stunned. She didn't expect He Yudong to confess suddenly.

She struggled to push him away, but He Yudong held her tightly.

"You...you let me go!" Ran Qiuye said, "What are you doing?"

He Yudong let her go, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Qiu Ye, I know it's very abrupt for me to do this, but I... I really can't help it. I... I love you, very much."

Ran Qiuye looked at him, feeling surprised and moved.

She didn't expect that this man, whom she had only known for a few months, would love her so deeply.

"I..." Ran Qiuye didn't know what to say.

He Yudong looked at her, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Qiuye, you...will you be my girlfriend?"

Ran Qiuye lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.
