Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"We are friends, so we should help each other." Li Mei said with a smile, and patted He Daqing's shoulder. "Let's go and take a look at the front. There is a small lake over there. I heard the scenery is beautiful."

The two walked along the path to the lake. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the lake, creating golden waves. He Daqing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and felt a sense of peace in his heart. Perhaps, life is always full of unknown beauty, as long as he is willing to discover it.

"Li Mei, actually there are some things I have always wanted to say to you, but I never had the chance." He Daqing suddenly spoke, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

Li Mei stopped, turned around, and looked at him quietly. "What? You can tell me anytime."

He Daqing took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. "Li Mei, I have always liked you. Since childhood, you have always been the most special person in my heart. But I know that you have your own life and your own choices, so I have never said it."

Li Mei was stunned, with a flash of surprise and emotion in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "Daqing, I also have a lot to say to you. In fact, I have seen through your thoughts a long time ago, but I have never dared to face it, and I don't know how to respond to you."

He Daqing looked at her, his eyes flashing with anticipation and nervousness. "What about now? Are you willing to tell me what's in your heart?"

Li Mei nodded gently, tears welling up in her eyes. "Daqing, I like you too. You have always been the person I trust the most and the person I rely on the most. But there is always a lack of an opportunity between us that gives me the courage to say this."

He Daqing was filled with an indescribable excitement. He walked forward and gently held Li Mei's hand. "Li Mei, we both have our own pasts, but I hope we can create a future together. Are you willing to go on with me?"

Li Mei looked at him, her eyes full of determination and tenderness. "Daqing, I do. From today on, we will face the future together. No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will be by your side."

The two hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's warmth. The wind from the lake blew gently, bringing a breath of fresh air, as if blessing their future.

Back in the car, He Daqing felt much more relaxed, as if the stone weighing on his heart had finally been removed. He looked at Li Mei beside him, his heart full of hope and expectation.

"Li Mei, let's go see grandma together when we get back. She will definitely be very happy." He Daqing said with a smile, a gleam in his eyes.

Li Mei nodded and replied with a smile: "Okay, let's go together."

The car drove back home, the night deepened, and the stars twinkled. He Daqing and Li Mei talked about their future plans in the car, their hearts full of expectations and hope. They knew that the road ahead might not be smooth, but as long as they were together, everything would become better.

A few days later, a special day came in the courtyard. He Daqing decided to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Grandma and Li Mei as the beginning of their new life. He went to the market early in the morning, picked the freshest ingredients, and returned with a full load.

"Grandma, I'll cook today. You and Li Mei can rest in the yard." He Daqing said with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, walked into the kitchen and started working.

Li Mei and her grandmother sat under the pavilion in the yard. Seeing He Daqing busy at work, her heart was filled with warmth. Her grandmother smiled and said, "Daqing has grown up and knows how to take care of people."

"Yes, he has always been very considerate." Li Mei responded with a happy light in her eyes.

In the kitchen, He Daqing was busy chopping vegetables and cooking soup skillfully. He recalled the time when he learned to cook from his grandmother when he was a child, and his heart was filled with gratitude. Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

"Come, let's have dinner together." He Daqing wiped his hands and called them over with a smile.

Grandma and Li Mei walked to the dining table and looked at the sumptuous dishes with admiration in their eyes. Grandma smiled and said, "Daqing, your cooking is getting better and better."

"Yes, it looks delicious." Li Mei also agreed with a smile.

The family sat together, laughing and talking, and the courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere. He Daqing looked at his grandmother and Li Mei, feeling extremely satisfied. He knew that this was the happiness he had always been pursuing.

After dinner, Li Mei suggested going out for a walk, and He Daqing readily agreed. They held hands and walked on the street outside the courtyard, with the night breeze blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Daqing, do you still remember this road we often walked when we were young?" Li Mei asked, with a nostalgic gleam in her eyes.

"Of course I remember. We always played and explored together back then." He Daqing smiled.

He Daqing returned to the company early in the morning and told Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing about Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui's marriage.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the mist on the city streets. He Daqing arrives at the company early. The company is located on the top floor of a tall building. The modern office environment is particularly clean and tidy. He walks into the office and goes straight to his seat. Today, he decides to tell his two colleagues, Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing, about Jia Xiaoying and Niu Tinggui's marriage.

He Daqing sat at his desk, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. Although he had accepted the fact that Jia Xiaoying chose Niu Tinggui, every time he mentioned it, he still felt a little pain in his heart.

"Good morning, Daqing." Yang Shumao's voice came. He Daqing raised his head and saw Yang Shumao walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Shumao." He Daqing responded, trying hard to force a smile.

"Good morning, Daqing. You seem a little worried today." Zhao Yajing also came over and asked with concern.

He Daqing put down his coffee and looked up at his two colleagues. They were his most trusted friends in the company, and they talked about everything. Today, he decided to tell them about Jia Xiaoying.

"I have something to tell you." He Daqing took a deep breath and said slowly.

Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing looked at each other, then sat down next to He Daqing, waiting for his next words.

"It's about Jia Xiaoying." He Daqing's voice was a little low, "She married Niu Tinggui."

The office was strangely quiet for a moment, with only the sound of the computer fan. Yang Shumao and Zhao Yajing were both stunned. They both knew about the emotional entanglement between He Daqing and Jia Xiaoying, and this news was undoubtedly a huge blow to He Daqing.

"Hey, Daqing, are you okay?" Yang Shumao was the first to break the silence and asked with concern.
