Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

As the sun slowly set and a touch of orange and red appeared on the horizon, Han Xiaodong and Catherine got up and left the cafe. They walked out of the street together, rode their bicycles, passed through the bustling crowd, and gradually disappeared at the end of the city.

Han Xiaodong and Catherine shuttled through the city, enjoying the quiet and fresh air of the night. Their bicycles passed through the brightly lit streets, gliding lightly over the asphalt road, like elves dancing in the dark.

"Today's cafe was such a pleasant surprise," said Catherine, her eyes sparkling with memories of the good times just now.

"Yes, sometimes unexpected encounters are the best." Han Xiaodong responded, his heart immersed in the happy time just now.

They rode along the street, passing through the bustling commercial district from time to time, passing by crowded crowds and busy traffic. The neon lights of the city at night illuminated their way forward, bringing them a sense of comfort and warmth.

"You know, I almost forgot an important appointment today." Catherine said suddenly.

"Really? What date?" Han Xiaodong asked curiously.

"My friends and I are going to a photography exhibition together." Catherine explained, "I promised them that I would go there, but I completely forgot about it when I ran into you in the cafe just now."

"Photography exhibition? It sounds interesting." Han Xiaodong said with a smile, "If you want to go, we can go now."

"Really? That's great!" Catherine said excitedly, "But I'm not ready yet."

"It's okay, we can go to your house first, you get ready, and then we can set off." Han Xiaodong suggested.

So they rode their bicycles to Catherine's apartment. The apartment was located in a high-rise building in the city center. Although it was not luxurious, it was a comfortable and warm home.

Catherine opened the door of the apartment and let Han Xiaodong in. The interior of the apartment was simple and tidy, and the sunlight poured into the room through the windows, giving people a feeling of tranquility and comfort.

"Please come in and take a seat." Catherine politely invited Han Xiaodong to sit on the sofa, "I'll be right there."

Han Xiaodong sat on the sofa and looked around, and found that there were some photographs and paintings displayed in Catherine's apartment, and some of her own photos and paintings hung on the wall, showing her artistic talent and aesthetic taste.

After a while, Catherine came out of the bedroom and changed into a suitable outfit. She wore a black dress and matched it with a simple necklace, which made her look elegant and fashionable.

"Okay, we can go now." Catherine said with a smile.

They left the apartment and rode their bicycles to the venue of the photography exhibition, which was located in an old building in the city center. The exterior walls were covered with colorful lanterns, adding a festive atmosphere to the whole scene.

They entered the exhibition hall and were shocked by the scene before them. There were all kinds of photos in the exhibition hall, each of which showed the photographer's unique perspective and talented skills. Some were landscape photos that showed the magnificence of nature; some were portrait photos that showed people's emotions and lives; and some were abstract photos that showed the artist's imagination and creativity.

“These works are amazing!” Catherine exclaimed, “Each one is full of inspiration and creativity.”

"Yes, these photographers are so talented," Han Xiaodong agreed. "They capture every wonderful moment in life with their cameras."

They lingered in the exhibition hall. Each wonderful work seemed to bring them into a different world, allowing them to feel the charm and magic of photography art.

When they left the exhibition hall, it was already late at night. The city lights were still flickering, and the streets were still bustling at night, as if telling endless stories and emotions.

Discovered, recorded, and shared. Han Xiaodong and Catherine are part of countless stories in this city. They returned home and sat quietly in the living room, enjoying each other's company and the tranquility of the moment.

"It's a beautiful night," Catherine said softly.

"Yes, I feel very happy too." Han Xiaodong replied with a smile.

They sat on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea, recalling every detail of today. Catherine took out her camera and browsed through the photos taken at the photography exhibition today. Each picture was full of artistic and beautiful feelings, which made them sigh.

"This is such a beautiful photo!" Han Xiaodong exclaimed, pointing to a photo on the screen.

"Thank you! Actually, I have always loved photography." Catherine said with a smile, "Every time I take a photo, I feel the beauty of life."

"I feel the unique charm of this city every time I ride," Han Xiaodong added. "Every street corner may hide a story, and every ride is a wonderful adventure."

Their conversation made them understand each other better and closer. They shared each other's interests, dreams and daily life, as if the distance between them became closer at this moment.

Gradually, as the night deepened, the streets outside gradually became quiet, and the city fell into a deep sleep. But in Han Xiaodong and Catherine's world, it was still full of vitality and beauty.

"You know, Han Xiaodong, I'm very happy to meet you." Catherine said suddenly, "It's so rare to find a like-minded friend in this bustling city."

"Me too, Catherine." Han Xiaodong responded with a smile, "I feel very lucky to be able to spend such a wonderful time with you."

Their eyes met in the air, conveying deep emotions and tacit understanding between each other. At this moment, they seemed to no longer be lonely travelers, but important existences in each other's lives.

"We can explore the city together again tomorrow," Catherine suggested, "or try something new."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Han Xiaodong said with a smile, "Whether it's exploring the city or trying new things, I'm willing to go with you."

Their hearts seem to be integrated at this moment, carrying the expectation and vision for the future together. In every corner of this city, there are stories belonging to them, waiting to be written and performed.

In every corner of this city, there are stories about Han Xiaodong and Catherine, and their friendship gradually sprouts and grows in this city. Their lives are full of freshness and vitality, and every day is a new beginning full of expectations.
