Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Back in the house, Qin Huairu was preparing dinner. Seeing the heavy expression on He Yuzhu's face, she asked with concern: "Brother Yuzhu, what happened?"

He Yuzhu forced a smile, walked to Qin Huairu, and said softly: "Nothing, I just chatted with Dongxu for a few words. He has some opinions about us being together."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with uneasiness, "I know he has been brooding over my regret for breaking off the engagement. I don't want you to have a conflict with him because of me."

He Yuzhu gently held Qin Huairu's hand and said firmly: "Huairu, don't worry. No matter what others say, I will stand by you. I will protect you and never let you suffer any more grievances."

Qin Huairu felt a warm feeling in her heart. She looked at He Yuzhu gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Yuzhu. I am really lucky to meet you."

The days continued to flow peacefully in the courtyard, but He Yuzhu felt a little uneasy. Although his relationship with Qin Huairu gradually stabilized, the rumors around him and Jia Dongxu's dissatisfaction were always a hidden danger. In order to completely eliminate these hidden dangers, He Yuzhu decided to give Qin Huairu a clear promise.

One night, He Yuzhu invited Qin Huairu to his house for dinner. At the table, the lights were soft, and the two sat face to face. He Yuzhu picked up the wine glass and looked deeply into Qin Huairu's eyes.

"Huai Ru, there is something I have always wanted to tell you." He Yuzhu's voice was low and serious.

Qin Huairu raised her head with a gentle smile in her eyes, "Brother Yuzhu, what's the matter?"

He Yuzhu put down his wine glass, reached out and held Qin Huairu's hand, his eyes firm, "Huairu, I know you have been through a lot and have many concerns about feelings. I want to tell you that I will treat you wholeheartedly and will never let you get hurt again."

Qin Huairu's eyes were slightly wet. She knew He Yuzhu's sincerity and felt his deep affection. She asked softly, "Brother Yuzhu, can you really promise?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Huai Ru, I promise. From now on, you are the only one in my heart. I will no longer be as fickle as before, and I will only be good to you. We will go through every day of the future together, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, I will be by your side."

Qin Huairu felt a warm current in her heart. She felt He Yuzhu's firmness and determination. She nodded gently, her eyes full of emotion, "Brother Yuzhu, I believe in you. Let's work together and face the future together."

He Yuzhu smiled and shook Qin Huairu's hand vigorously, "Huairu, we will be happy."

That night, under the soft light, the two made promises to each other, their hearts filled with longing and hope for the future.

As the days passed by in the promise, the feelings between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu continued to deepen. They spent many ordinary and warm times together, supporting each other and facing the challenges in life together.

However, the human relationships in the courtyard are always complicated and changeable. One day, Mrs. Li from the courtyard suddenly came to He Yuzhu's house, looking very worried.

"Yuzhui, I heard something and I don't know whether I should tell you." Mrs. Li spoke hesitantly.

He Yuzhu's heart tightened, he put down the work in his hands, and asked seriously: "Sister Li, just say whatever you want to say."

Sister Li sighed and whispered, "Dongxu seems to be a little bit abnormal recently. I heard that he was saying bad things about you guys everywhere outside. He also said that you are unfaithful and not sincere to Huairu. I don't think this matter can be hidden from you."

He Yuzhu's face turned serious. He knew that Jia Dongxu's words would not only affect his relationship with Qin Huairu, but also cause more trouble. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Thank you, Sister Li. I will take care of this matter."

That night, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu sat in the yard, the moonlight shining on them, it seemed particularly peaceful. He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

"Huai Ru, I heard something about Dong Xu." He Yuzhu said in a low voice.

Qin Huairu nodded, obviously she had heard it too, "I heard it too. He seems to be unwilling to accept it and always says that you are not sincere."

He Yuzhu held Qin Huairu's hand tightly, his eyes firm, "Huairu, I won't let these rumors affect our relationship. I will go find Dongxu and have a good talk with him. I want him to know that my feelings for you are sincere."

Qin Huairu gently leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder and said softly: "Brother Yuzhu, I believe you. No matter what others say, I believe you."

He Yuzhu felt Qin Huairu's trust, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that only by standing together firmly could they overcome all difficulties and meet every challenge in the future together.

The next morning, He Yuzhu decided to go find Jia Dongxu. He knew that this conversation would determine many things. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping to resolve this conflict and give him and Qin Huairu a peaceful life.

He Yuzhu walked to the door of Jia Dongxu's house, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. The door opened, and Jia Dongxu stood at the door with a hint of disdain on his face.

"He Yuzhu, what are you doing here?" Jia Dongxu asked coldly.

He Yuzhu looked directly into Jia Dongxu's eyes and said calmly, "Dongxu, we need to talk."

Jia Dongxu's face changed, but he still opened the door and let He Yuzhu in. The two sat at the table, and the air was filled with tension.

He Yuzhu said, "Dongxu, I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with what happened between me and Huairu, but I want to tell you that my feelings for her are sincere."

Jia Dongxu sneered, "Sincerely? How do you prove that you are sincere?"

He Yuzhu said firmly: "I have promised Huairu that from now on, she is the only one in my heart. I will not be unfaithful anymore and will only be good to her."

Jia Dongxu's eyes flickered with a trace of hesitation, but he remained stubborn, "You say it nicely, but how do I know you won't change?"

He Yuzhu sighed and said seriously: "Dongxu, I know you have a lot of resentment in your heart, but please believe me. We are all people in this courtyard, and we should not hurt each other because of these things. I will use my actions to prove my feelings for Huairu, and I hope you can give us a chance."

Jia Dongxu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll give you another chance. But if you let me see you fail her, I will never let you off easily."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Dongxu. I will prove myself with my actions."

The moment He Yuzhu walked out of Jia Dongxu's house, he felt somewhat relieved, but also full of new expectations. He knew that promises alone were not enough, and he needed to prove himself with practical actions.
