Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After seeing her parents off, Lou Xiao'e walked out of the Sijiucheng Railway Station with a heavy heart. She looked at the bustling crowd and busy streets in front of her, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. She took a deep breath and then stopped a rickshaw.

"Master, how much does it cost to go to Nanluoguxiang?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"If it's in Nanluoguxiang, it's 5 cents." The rickshaw driver replied enthusiastically.

Lou Xiao'e nodded, indicating that she agreed to the price, and then got on the tricycle. She sighed softly, her heart full of worry. The driver seemed to sense her emotions and said comfortingly: "Girl, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the driver gratefully and managed a smile. The driver pedaled hard and the tricycle started to move slowly. Lou Xiao'e sat quietly on the tricycle, but her thoughts had already drifted away.

When they arrived at Nanluoguxiang, Lou Xiao'e began to instruct the driver on how to get to the destination. The driver drove the car skillfully and followed the direction Lou Xiao'e indicated. Soon, they arrived in front of the gate of a courtyard.

Lou Xiao'e was about to pay the driver the fare, but suddenly realized that she had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten to bring money. Her face suddenly became embarrassed, and she quickly apologized to the driver: "Master, I'm so sorry, I left in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to bring money. Please wait a moment, I'll ask my family to come over to pay."

The driver smiled and said gently, "It's okay, girl. I know you didn't mean it. Go back and get the money first. I'll wait for you here."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the driver gratefully, with a touch of emotion in her eyes. She hurried back to her courtyard home. He Yuzhu saw Lou Xiao'e running back in a panic and couldn't help asking curiously, "Xiao'e, what happened to you that made you look so panicked?"

"Brother He, after I sent my parents to the train, I took a rickshaw back. But when I arrived at the gate and was about to give the driver money, I realized that I didn't bring any money. I was going to go over to give him the money." Lou Xiao'e explained hurriedly.

"Oh, here, please deliver it to the master quickly. Don't keep him waiting anxiously." He Yuzhu smiled and took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Lou Xiao'e.

"It won't cost that much. Fifty cents is enough." Lou Xiao'e took a fifty-cent note from He Yuzhu, opened the door, and hurried to the gate of the courtyard. Lou Xiao'e handed the fare to the driver and thanked him again: "Master, I'm really sorry to have delayed your business."

The driver took the fare with a smile on his face: "You are so polite. Everyone has inconveniences sometimes, and this is what we should do. I wish you all the best!" He waved his hand and left the gate of the courtyard.

Lou Xiao'e stood there, watching the driver leave. She was deeply moved. This little kindness made her feel the warmth and kindness between people. Perhaps, the difficulties in life are only temporary. As long as you keep a sincere heart, good things will always happen.

Then Lou Xiao'e turned around and walked back to her courtyard home. Her steps were a little heavy, as if she had lost something important. He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e who had gone and returned, and felt distressed. He knew that Lou Xiao'e was sad about her parents' departure, but he didn't know how to comfort her. So he decided to use his own way to let Lou Xiao'e feel his care and love.

He Yuzhu walked up to Lou Xiao'e, gently grasped her hand, and asked softly, "Xiao'e, are you okay after your parents left?" Lou Xiao'e raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu's concerned eyes, with a touch of emotion in her eyes. She shook her head slightly, trying to smile, but the corners of her mouth trembled unconsciously.

"Brother He, I'm fine. I'm just not used to being separated from my parents so suddenly." Lou Xiao'e tried to hold back her tears and said in a strong voice. However, He Yuzhu could hear the deep attachment and reluctance in her voice.

He Yuzhu walked to Lou Xiao'e, gently hugged her in his arms, felt her body temperature, and then said softly: "Xiao'e, although your parents have gone to Hong Kong, you still have me and the children. We will always be by your side, supporting you and loving you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together. So, please don't be sad, okay?"

When Lou Xiao'e heard He Yuzhu's words, her heart was filled with warmth and comfort. She hugged He Yuzhu tightly, buried her head in his chest, and felt his heartbeat. She knew that although her parents were not around, she was not alone because she had He Yuzhu, a man who loved her deeply.

"Well, Brother He, luckily I still have you and the child." Lou Xiao'e said softly, with tears of happiness in her eyes. He Yuzhu gently stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Yes, our family will always be together, supporting each other and going through every stage of life together."

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e deeply felt the strength and warmth of her family. She understood that although her parents had left, their love was eternal, and the relationship between her and He Yuzhu would become even deeper. She was willing to let go of the sadness of the past, cherish the happiness in front of her, and create a better future with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu quietly held Lou Xiao'e, feeling her body temperature, and gently stroking her back. Time seemed to stand still, with only the heartbeats and breathing of the two intertwined. After a while, He Yuzhu suddenly felt that Lou Xiao'e's breathing in his arms became much softer. He couldn't help but look down, only to find that Lou Xiao'e had fallen asleep in his arms.

He Yuzhu gently picked up Lou Xiao'e and walked carefully into the bedroom in the inner room. He gently put Lou Xiao'e on the kang, then slowly took off her shoes so that she could lie comfortably on the bed. After doing all this, He Yuzhu sat by the kang and quietly stared at Lou Xiao'e's sleeping face.

His eyes were full of tenderness and love, and he said to her silently in his heart: "Xiao'e, do you know? In seven years at most, you will move south to Hong Kong like your parents. At that time, we may be separated, and you will be separated from me and our children. But I hope that you will be stronger than you are now."

He Yuzhu knows that the road ahead is not smooth, but he believes that Lou Xiao'e has enough courage to face the challenges in life. He is willing to accompany her through every difficult moment and give her endless support and encouragement. At this moment, he just wants Lou Xiao'e to have a good rest.
