Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Brother, don't blame yourself too much. We all know you are doing this for our own good." He Yuzhu walked forward and gently patted his brother's shoulder. "You have done a great job. Don't let yourself fall into too much self-blame."

As the night deepened in the courtyard, in the quiet environment, He Daqing still felt that his inner turmoil was difficult to calm down. He sat on a bench in the courtyard, and the surrounding lights stretched his and He Yuzhu's shadows very long, making him look particularly lonely. Although the accusations of his relatives and friends were not directly directed at him personally, he knew that the responsibilities and pressure on his shoulders were gradually increasing.

His eyes wandered around every corner of the courtyard. Everything there seemed so familiar, but at this moment it became particularly strange. Those scenes that once made him feel warm and at ease now seemed to have a heavy color in his eyes. Every flower and every leaf seemed to be telling his expectations and dreams that had not been fully realized.

"Yuzhu, I really shouldn't let myself fall into self-blame like this." He Daqing whispered, his voice revealing a bit of fatigue and confusion, "I always thought this arrangement was the best, but it seems..." He didn't say anything else, but his inner frustration was already revealed.

He Yuzhu sat beside him, and seeing his brother like this, he couldn't help but feel sad. He knew that his brother had always been thinking about him, even though his way might be a little too strong, but this kind of care and dedication could not be ignored. He wanted to comfort his brother, but he didn't know where to start.

"Brother, actually, everyone can see your intentions." He Yuzhu tried to break the silence, "Even if things didn't go exactly as you wished, everyone can feel your efforts and intentions."

"But I still feel like I haven't done my best." He Daqing's voice was mixed with helplessness and self-blame. "Especially when I saw the reactions of my relatives and friends, I had to reflect on whether I was really too stubborn and whether I ignored other people's feelings."

He Yuzhu looked at his brother and felt a deep compassion in his heart. He knew that his brother's pressure came not only from the accusations of the outside world, but also from his high expectations of himself. His heart began to become more complicated. He hoped that his brother could let go of his self-blame, but he was also worried that this responsibility and pressure would cause him more trouble.

"Brother, maybe we can try to look at these problems from a different angle." He Yuzhu said, with a little persuasion in his tone, "Everyone has their own opinions and expectations, and your efforts and contributions are already worthy of recognition."

He Daqing nodded, and the self-blame in his heart was slightly relieved. He knew that although he might not have done well enough, at least he was trying his best. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Thank you, Yuzhu," He Daqing said, "I will try my best to adjust my mindset and face these problems. Although I hope to do my best, perhaps we all need to learn to accept imperfection."

The two sat on the bench in silence, and the silence around them made their conversation seem particularly heavy. He Daqing's thoughts were still swirling, and he kept recalling everything he had done, trying to find areas for improvement. At the same time, he was also thinking about whether he was really too stubborn and whether he needed to listen to other people's opinions more.

"Brother, you really shouldn't be too hard on yourself." He Yuzhu looked at his brother's expression, feeling a little uneasy. "We are all trying our best to do everything well, and so are you. Even if it's not perfect, this effort and intention are important enough."

He Daqing felt the comfort and support from his brother, and his inner pressure was slightly relieved. He knew that although he still had many shortcomings, at least when facing problems, the support and understanding of his family could give him more strength. He deeply realized that family is not only a place to solve problems, but also a harbor of mutual support and understanding.

At night, the lights in the courtyard cast a soft glow in the garden. He Daqing sat on a bench, his inner contemplation never stopped. He knew that although today's blind date party might not meet everyone's expectations, he still hoped to do something for his brother to express his care and support for him. What surged in his heart was not only self-blame, but also expectations for the future. He hoped that he could make up for those possible shortcomings through practical actions.

"Yuzhu, sit down for a moment. I have something to give you." He Daqing stood up and walked into the house. His eyes flickered with determination in the darkness. He decided to prepare a small surprise to encourage his brother and let him know that even if there were some minor incidents in blind dating, he was still loved and supported.

He Yuzhu sat on a stone bench in the yard, looking at the night in the distance, his complex emotions still not subsided. Although his brother's efforts and care made him feel warm, he was also thinking about how to face the various challenges in life. He knew that his brother had good intentions, but this complex emotion made it difficult for him to completely let go.

Not long after, He Daqing brought out an exquisite box from the house and walked in front of his brother. There was a hint of expectation and warmth in his expression, as if he hoped that this gift could bring some comfort and encouragement.

"Yuzhui, take a look at this." He Daqing handed the box to his brother, with a hint of apology and tenderness in his eyes.

He Yuzhu took the box and opened it to see a pair of brand new shoes inside. The design of the shoes was simple yet elegant, and the color was sober, just right for formal occasions. He Yuzhu's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and emotion.

“This is…” He whispered, with a hint of moisture in his eyes, “Brother, you really don’t have to be like this.”

"I prepared this specially for you." He Daqing said with a smile, "I know today's blind date may have made you feel a little stressed. I hope that through this pair of shoes, I can make you feel a little warm."

A warm current surged in He Yuzhu's heart. He knew that his brother's concern was not only reflected in these material things, but also in his meticulous care for him and his expectations for the future. He raised his head and looked at his brother gratefully, his heart full of emotion.

"Thank you, brother. Actually, I don't think there is anything particularly wrong with this blind date, it's just..." He paused, as if he was organizing his words, "It's just that sometimes I worry that my performance will disappoint you."

He Daqing was touched, as he knew his brother's expectations and self-requirements for him. He patted his brother's shoulder gently, trying to give him more support and encouragement in this way.
