Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

"Today's society is becoming more and more unpredictable." He muttered to himself and walked into the living room of the courtyard. His eyes accidentally swept across the familiar wooden table. The books and a cup of cooling tea on the table seemed to mock his misfortune today. He forced himself to sit down, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.

Aunt Liu stood at the door for a while, and seeing that Chen Rufeng's condition had not improved significantly, she said softly, "I know you are in a bad mood now, but why not try to relax and don't let these things affect your life. I'll go back first, and feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Aunt Liu." Chen Rufeng responded politely. Although he was still a little uneasy, he knew Aunt Liu's good intentions. He watched her leave, and a surge of gratitude surged in his heart. Aunt Liu's departure brought peace back to the courtyard, but Chen Rufeng's heart was still in turmoil.

He decided to take a walk in the yard, hoping to sort out his thoughts by walking. The courtyard of the quadrangle was as quiet as ever, and the path paved with bluestone was warm and peaceful under the sunshine. He walked slowly along the path, and every step seemed to be a dialogue with his inner anger and anxiety. He looked up at the old elm tree in the quadrangle. It swayed gently in the breeze, and the sunlight shining through the branches and leaves was mottled, as if telling some kind of comfort.

Despite this, Chen Rufeng still couldn't calm down. He began to blame himself, why did he become the target of those robbers? Was he really so vulnerable? The shame and anger in his heart intertwined, making him feel troubled. The feeling of his self-esteem being hurt was like a thorn, deeply piercing his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He decided to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, hoping to calm down with some simple actions. In the kitchen, he turned on the faucet and let the cool water flow into the cup. The sound of the water was so clear that it seemed to temporarily wash away the irritability in his heart. He walked back to the living room with the cup of water and sat on the sofa, trying to divert his thoughts from the pair of shoes that had been stolen.

His phone vibrated again at this time. It was a message from his good friend Wang Peng: "I heard that you had some trouble today. How are you? Do you need me to come over and accompany you?"

Chen Rufeng read the message, and mixed emotions welled up in his heart. Wang Peng was his college classmate, and the two had spent a lot of time together. Although Chen Rufeng didn't want to make him worry, deep down he hoped that someone could understand his predicament.

He replied: "Thank you, Wang Peng. I just dealt with some things and my mood has not recovered yet. I am fine now. I will have a good rest in a few days."

Wang Peng quickly responded: "Okay, don't be alone. Tell me when you want to come out and relax."

Chen Rufeng felt a little warm when he saw these caring words. Although these words could not immediately solve the problems he was facing, they let him know that he was not alone. He put down his phone, stood up, and decided to take another walk in the yard to try to clear his chaotic thoughts.

Walking to the middle of the yard, Chen Rufeng's eyes were attracted by the flower bed in the corner. The flower bed was full of various flowers, and the colorful flowers bloomed in the sun, exuding a faint fragrance. He stopped, bent down, and carefully observed the details of those flowers. The petals of each flower were delicate and vivid, as if showing him the beauty of life. His heart gradually became calm, and the beauty of the flowers seemed to slowly wash away his anxiety.

But soon, another emotion emerged in his heart - the shame of being robbed. He was worried that he had become a laughing stock and that he was no longer as reliable as before in the eyes of his neighbors. He didn't want people to think he was a weak person, nor did he want his life to become too embarrassing. His self-esteem made him unwilling to face the strange looks in other people's eyes.

"What a bad day." He said to himself, trying to calm himself down. At this moment, what he needed was not the sympathy of others, but the control of his own mental state. He began to think about how to get himself out of the predicament and regain his calmness in this incident.

Just then, he heard the sound of the neighbor's children playing in the yard. The crisp laughter and cheers made him feel a little relieved. He knew that there would always be various troubles in life, but he still needed to face reality and recover as soon as possible. He didn't want today's experience to become a shadow in his life, nor did he want to make himself more inferior and depressed.

He decided to go to the study and read some of his favorite books to divert his attention. When he walked into the study, he saw those heavy books, which were his favorite literary works. In front of the bookshelf, he took out a book and opened it at random, trying to immerse himself in the world of words. Although the words in the book could not completely change his inner feelings, they could at least make him forget the troubles of reality temporarily.

Chen Rufeng was immersed in the world of books, and time passed by. The words in the book brought him a little comfort, so that he no longer worried too much about those troubles. He knew that he needed to gradually regain his calm and get his life back to rhythm.

However, the shame and anger in his heart still had not completely subsided. Although he tried to calm himself down, he still felt a strong sense of uneasiness and resentment whenever he thought of the stolen shoes. He was still struggling in his heart, but he knew that this emotion needed to be resolved.

He decided to go to the market tomorrow to see if he could find some shoes that would suit him. He didn't want what happened today to affect his life. Although his heart was still filled with shadows, he hoped to regain some confidence through action. He knew that life had to go on. Although he was still experiencing anxiety and distress, he would still try his best to face it.

The courtyard was shrouded in silence under the night, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence. Chen Rufeng sat in front of the window, his heart still filled with unresolved emotions. His mood seemed to become even heavier under the cover of the night, and the shame and anger after being robbed was like an unhealable wound, still raging in his heart.

He walked back to the living room and tried to relax, but his thoughts kept flooding into his mind. Whenever he closed his eyes, the stolen shoes and the robber's grinning face would reappear in his mind again and again. The feeling of his self-esteem being hurt was like a sharp knife piercing his heart, making him unable to extricate himself. For him, this was not just the loss of his belongings, but also the trampling of his dignity.
