Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

He Yuzhu was grateful, but he knew he had to resolve the conflict himself. He looked at Jia Dongxu and said firmly, "Dongxu, I know you are under a lot of pressure, but losing your temper won't solve the problem. If you need help, I'm willing to do my best to help."

A complex emotion flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I don't want to argue with you. It's just that sometimes when I look at you, I feel uncomfortable."

He Yuzhu nodded, his tone sincere: "Dongxu, I understand how you feel. Everyone has their own difficulties. If you are willing, we can sit down and talk and find a solution."

Jia Dongxu finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, let's find a time to talk. I don't want to go on like this anymore."

He Yuzhu felt relieved. He knew that although this conflict did not completely solve the problem, at least they had taken the first step. He turned to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Thank you, Xiao'e."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded: "Yuzhu, we are all friends, it's good enough if we can understand each other."

In the next few days, He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu found a quiet place and sat down to have a good talk. They talked about a lot, including their respective troubles and pressures. He Yuzhu found that Jia Dongxu's pressure mainly came from family and work, and he had a lot of helplessness and anxiety in his heart.

Through this in-depth conversation, He Yuzhu had a better understanding of Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu also began to understand that He Yuzhu was not deliberately showing off as he imagined. The relationship between the two gradually eased. Although it was not close, it was at least no longer full of hostility.

Life in the courtyard continued, and the misunderstandings between He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu gradually dissipated. Although there were still some minor frictions from time to time, they both learned to face them with a more peaceful attitude.

On a sunny afternoon, He Yuzhu was busy in the yard. Jia Dongxu came over and handed him a bottle of water: "Yuzhu, you've been busy all day, drink some water."

He Yuzhu took the water and smiled: "Thank you, Dongxu."

Jia Dongxu nodded, with a hint of sincerity in his tone: "Yuzhu, thank you for understanding me last time. We will support each other in the future."

He Yuzhu felt a warm feeling and nodded: "Of course, Dongxu. We are all neighbors and should help each other."

He Yuzhu gradually calmed down and his life slowly got back on track. However, there was always a voice deep in his heart reminding him that some of his past actions made him feel guilty and uneasy, especially when dealing with emotional problems.

One evening, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were arranging flowers and plants in the yard. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet scene. He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e and secretly made up his mind that he could no longer let his emotional life be so chaotic.

"Xiao'e," He Yuzhu said, his voice low but firm, "I have something to tell you."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and saw He Yuzhu's serious expression. She smiled slightly and said, "What's the matter, Yuzhu?"

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and encouraged himself in his heart: "I have always been grateful for your concern and care for me. In the past, I may have been a little fickle in my feelings, which caused many people to misunderstand. I want to promise you that from now on, I will take my feelings seriously and will not let myself and the people around me get hurt again."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she was more relieved. She knew that He Yuzhu was making an important decision. She asked softly, "Yuzhu, why did you say that suddenly?"

He Yuzhu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: "Xiao'e, I know that some of my past behaviors have disappointed people, but I really don't want to go on like that. You have always been good to me, and I can't let you down. Maybe I didn't realize it before, but now, I know what I want. I hope to have a stable family and someone who truly loves me."

A warm current surged in Lou Xiao'e's heart, and she nodded gently: "Yuzhu, I believe you. Everyone has a past, but the important thing is that we must look forward. I also hope that you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e with gratitude, feeling relieved: "Thank you, Xiao'e. I am really lucky to have a friend like you."

At this time, there was a commotion in the courtyard. It turned out that Xu Damao was chatting with some neighbors in the courtyard. He saw He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e together, so he joked loudly: "Hey, Yuzhu and Xiao'e are busy together again? Are you two going to have something good happen?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and did not avoid Xu Damao's teasing: "Da Mao, we are just friends, helping each other."

Xu Damao smiled, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Friends? That depends on whether you can seize the opportunity."

He Yuzhu stopped talking and continued to work. He knew that although Xu Damao's words were a joke, they also made some sense. He had to take his feelings seriously and not give others a chance to question them.

As time went by, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e became closer. They spent many unforgettable times together, and their trust and tacit understanding gradually deepened. He Yuzhu found that Lou Xiao'e was not only his friend in life, but also his spiritual partner.

On a sunny morning, He Yuzhu decided to take Lou Xiao'e for a walk in a nearby park. They strolled in the park, chatting about their lives and future plans. He Yuzhu suddenly stopped and looked at Lou Xiao'e with deep affection in his eyes: "Xiao'e, I want to tell you that I have completely let go of the past. Now, I just want to be with you and take our future seriously."

Lou Xiao'e felt He Yuzhu's sincerity. She smiled and nodded: "Yuzhu, I also believe that we will have a bright future. As long as we work together, we can overcome any difficulties."

He Yuzhu was moved, and he knew that he had found true happiness. He held Lou Xiaoe's hand, feeling her warmth, and his heart was filled with determination and hope.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu began to take every day of his life more seriously. He and Lou Xiao'e planned their future together and faced various challenges in life together. Their relationship gradually stabilized, and their trust and understanding of each other became deeper and deeper.

One evening, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were preparing dinner in the yard. Xu Damao suddenly came over with a hint of apology on his face: "Yuzhu, Xiao'e, I have something to say."

He Yuzhu stopped what he was doing and looked at Xu Damao: "Damo, what's the matter?"
