Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

The two men walked up and rang the doorbell. After a while, the door was quietly opened and a tired-looking mother of He appeared at the door.

"Jingru, Jiedi, why are you here?" He's mother was slightly stunned and looked at the two of them with some surprise.

"He Daqing has dropped out of school, and we are worried about him, so we came here to check on him," Qin Jingru explained.

Hearing this, Mother He was startled, and then showed a worried look. "Suspension of study? What's wrong with this child? Why didn't you tell me?"

"We don't know the specific situation, so we come to ask you." Yan Jiedi said.

He's mother sighed, a trace of helplessness in her expression. "He has indeed been worried about something recently, but I don't know the details."

The two of them felt depressed when they heard this. It seemed that He Daqing's condition was not optimistic. They decided to go into the house first to see the situation.

He's mother let them in. The living room seemed a little deserted. He Daqing's father and He Daqing were not at home. Only He Daqing's sister was sitting alone on the sofa, staring at the TV in a daze.

"Where is He Daqing?" Qin Jingru asked.

"He went out early this morning and I don't know where he went." He's mother said with a frown.

"Then let's wait for him to come back." Yan Jiedi suggested.

Qin Jingru and Yan Jiedi waited for a long time at He Daqing's house, but He Daqing never came back. Looking at the clock on the wall, time passed by minute by minute, and their worries became more and more serious.

"Maybe we should go to He Daqing's school to look for him. Maybe he has gone to school." Qin Jingru suggested. She could no longer suppress her inner anxiety.

Yan Jiedi nodded and said, "Maybe you are right. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

So, the two hurriedly left He Daqing's house and rushed to He Daqing's school. On the way, they kept asking about He Daqing's whereabouts, but did not get any useful information.

Finally, they arrived at He Daqing's school. As night fell, the campus seemed particularly quiet, with only the faint light of the street lamps.

"Look, that's He Daqing's class." Qin Jingru said, pointing to the teaching building in the distance.

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the teaching building. As soon as they entered the corridor, they heard a sound coming from the stairwell.

"How could this bastard treat us like this!"

Qin Jingru and Yan Jiedi immediately stopped and listened attentively.

"Don't be angry, let's think of a way to solve the problem." A slightly tired voice came.

"Solve the problem? This is all his fault!"

"Okay, stop talking, let's think about what to do first."

When Qin Jingru and Yan Jiedi heard these conversations, they were moved. They vaguely felt that the voice was very similar to He Daqing's voice.

So, they followed the sound and found themselves at the stairwell.

"He Daqing?" Qin Jingru called softly.

The lights in the stairwell were dim, and He Daqing stood alone in the corner of the stairwell with a heavy expression.

"Jingru? Jiedi?" He Daqing raised his head and looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Why are you here?" Yan Jiedi asked.

"I... I just want to be alone for a while." He Daqing said with his head down.

"What happened? Why did you drop out of school?" Qin Jingru's voice was full of concern.

He Daqing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I can't stay in school anymore. I need time to think."

"Is it because of the business on the ground floor?" Yan Jiedi asked.

He Daqing nodded, "Yes, I feel very confused now."

"But you can't avoid the problem, you need to face it." Qin Jingru persuaded.

He Daqing pondered and did not answer. He knew that facing reality was not easy, but he also understood that escaping was not the solution to the problem.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a figure rushing over quickly.

"He Daqing! Why are you here?" A familiar voice sounded. Qin Jingru and Yan Jiedi looked up and saw that it was Yu Li.

Mother He returned home carrying a large bag of vegetables, with a somewhat unhappy look on her face. She put down the basket and saw Qin Jingru standing in the living room, her brows slightly frowned.

"Qin Jingru, why are you here again?" Her tone was a little impatient.

Qin Jingru stood up a little awkwardly, facing He's mother and said, "Auntie, I'm here to talk to He Daqing."

"Looking for He Daqing?" There was a hint of caution in He's mother's voice. "He's not at home. Come back later."

"Auntie, I just want to have a good talk with him and explain what happened." Qin Jingru tried to explain.

"What happened?" He's mother's tone became even more severe. "You don't have to explain. I know that you are all birds of a feather!"

After hearing what He's mother said, Qin Jingru couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved, but she knew it was not appropriate to argue with He's mother at this time, so she said goodbye and left the living room.

"Qin Jingru, wait!" Just as Qin Jingru walked out of the living room, Yan Jiedi rushed over and called her softly.

Qin Jingru stopped, turned around and looked at Yan Jiedi, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

"Sister Jie Di, why are you here?" Qin Jingru asked.

"I just happened to be passing by and saw you coming, so I wanted to come and see you." Yan Jie Di said with a smile, "How was your conversation with Mother He just now?"

Qin Jingru sighed and said softly, "It's still as bad as ever."

"Don't be sad. Mother He has a straightforward personality and speaks bluntly. Don't take it too seriously." Yan Jiedi comforted.

"But she is always unfriendly to me, and I really can't stand it." Qin Jingru said somewhat aggrievedly.

"It's okay. I'll speak for you." Yan Jiedi held Qin Jingru's hand and encouraged her, "Let's go. Don't stay here."

As night fell, He Daqing came to Wang Fei's residence alone. He was in a heavy mood, with a feeling of grievance and helplessness flooding his heart, making him feel unable to control himself.

Wang Fei saw his expression and immediately realized something was wrong. "He Daqing, what's wrong with you? What happened?" she asked with concern.

He Daqing was silent for a while, then said in a trembling voice: "Sister Wang, I...I failed."

Wang Fei heard this and quickly pulled over a chair for He Daqing to sit down, then said kindly, "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"

"I..." He Daqing's voice was a little choked, "I originally wanted to buy a shop on the ground floor, but... but someone else got there first."

After hearing this, Faye Wong patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "This kind of thing happens to everyone. Don't take it too seriously. Failure is not terrible. The important thing is to learn something from failure."

He Daqing shook his head, tears streaming down his face. "No, Sister Wang, you don't understand. I've lost too much."
