Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

Li Xiangqian was silent for a while, feeling a little confused. He raised his head and looked into He Yuzhu's eyes. At that moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. "I ran into some trouble outside today. This is what happened..." He briefly described what happened in the restaurant, especially the incident of the wallet being stolen. He told He Yuzhu all the details, including his doubts about the girl stealing his money and his inner struggles.

He Yuzhu listened carefully, nodding occasionally, with no excessive expression on his face, and seemed not to be shocked by the plot described by Li Xiangqian. "So what are you going to do now?" he asked, his tone was calm, but with a kind of power that made Li Xiangqian feel stable.

Li Xiangqian sighed and fell into deep thought. After talking with Zhao Jianguo just now, he made some decisions, but when he sat down to think, the doubts and anger in his heart could not be completely calmed down. "I don't know what to do. I really want to give that girl a chance, but I'm afraid she will do it again. I'm afraid I can't help but lose trust. I can't even figure out why she stole my money..."

After listening to this, He Yuzhu suddenly laughed: "I knew you were this kind of person. You always over-complicate things."

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You just think of yourself as a judge." He Yuzhu sat back on the sofa, looking into the distance, as if recalling something. "Do you feel that you have to find a standard answer to everything, you have to figure out everything, and you have to judge everyone by right or wrong? You know you probably shouldn't think this way, but you just can't control the voice in your heart."

Li Xiangqian pursed his lips, his eyes were a little evasive, and deep in his heart he did feel uneasy, an obsession that he could control other people's emotions. He wanted to know clearly whether he could trust others and let go of all his defenses. But every word He Yuzhu said touched a corner of his heart, making him realize that he often made the problem more complicated instead of simply facing it.

"Really? Then what do you think I should do?" Li Xiangqian suddenly felt that he was a little out of control, and a surge of anxiety surged in his heart. "I know that I shouldn't judge others like a judge, but I can't just leave it alone. I... I can accept others' mistakes, but I can't accept irresponsible behavior."

He Yuzhu looked at him for a while, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "I know you are very conflicted, Li Xiangqian. You care about principles, but you also care about others. You are so eager to figure out everything because you have high standards for yourself and others. This is a sense of responsibility, but I tell you, this sense of responsibility can sometimes hurt yourself."

Li Xiangqian's heart moved slightly, he paused for a moment, lowered his head. He did not speak, but just listened silently.

"You can't always pursue perfection, and you can't make everyone live according to the rules you set." He Yuzhu sighed, "You have to let go of the idea of ​​'perfection' and the idea of ​​controlling other people's fate. The 'trust' you mentioned is not only trust in others, but also trust in yourself. Can you believe that others have the opportunity to change?"

Li Xiangqian frowned slightly, the doubt in his heart still not completely dissipated. "How do you think I can trust her? She stole my money, how can I trust her?"

He Yuzhu's expression became serious, and he gently patted Li Xiangqian's shoulder. "Do you think trust is one-sided? If you trust others, they have to trust you. You need to give others a chance, instead of always standing in a position of scrutiny. You see, she feels guilty and has admitted her mistakes, so you should let her go and let her correct her mistakes, instead of always dwelling on her mistakes. That way, you will have a chance to let yourself go."

Li Xiangqian's heart suddenly shook. At that moment, it seemed as if all his entanglements and doubts were hit by these words. He suddenly realized that his heart knot was never just about the girl stealing money, but about how he faced his mistakes and how to give people space to change.

He raised his head, with a complicated light in his eyes, "I understand. Maybe I really shouldn't be so obsessed with those details. I should give her a chance, or at least see what she does first. You're right, I have to let myself go."

He Yuzhu looked at him and smiled with satisfaction. "I'm glad you understand. Don't suppress yourself anymore and relax a little. Nothing in this world is black and white."

Li Xiangqian was silent for a while, and suddenly he felt much more relaxed. He stood up and looked at He Yuzhu, "Thank you, He Yuzhu. You are right. Many times, I just want to figure things out too much, and end up getting myself into trouble."

"Don't thank me. Friends always tell the truth to each other." He Yuzhu smiled and patted Li Xiangqian on the back. "Okay, now that you've figured it out, solve it tomorrow. Don't delay any longer. The answer you want has already been there."

It was almost midnight when Li Xiangqian came out of He Yuzhu's house. The neon lights on the street were mottled, and the air around him was slightly damp and cool. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Jia Zhang's number.

After the phone rang a few times, Jia Zhang's voice finally came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of anger, "Li Xiangqian, why are you calling me so late? Is there something urgent?"

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled softly, "Yes, there is something, Zhang, are there cockroaches in your house?"

Jia Zhang was stunned at first, then sneered, "What did you say? Cockroaches? How could there be cockroaches in my house? Don't be ridiculous!"

Li Xiangqian was not discouraged by her attitude, but felt a little relieved. He knew that Jia Zhang was always straightforward and could joke, which made him feel relieved. "I know there is indeed a problem in your kitchen. When I went to your house for dinner, I saw cockroaches running around in the corner. I'm afraid you should pay more attention to it."

Jia Zhang was silent for a while, then said impatiently: "Why are you so nosy? Cockroaches are just cockroaches, what are you afraid of? Do you think my house is dirty?"

Li Xiangqian heard the dissatisfaction in her tone and knew that she had no ill intentions, so he smiled and said, "No, I just wanted to remind you. In fact, I ran into something today and happened to pass by that small shop and saw that they were selling cockroach medicine. That medicine is quite effective. Do you want me to buy some for you?"
