But behind all this, Chen Rufeng was always concerned about Jie Di. He often looked up at the sky, wondering if Jie Di was looking at the same starry sky. He hoped that one day, Jie Di would be able to return to this courtyard and enjoy all this with him.

However, life is always full of unexpected changes. Chen Rufeng unexpectedly learned that the hutong where the courtyard is located was also included in the scope of renovation. The government plans to renovate this old hutong and rebuild it into a modern community.

Chen Rufeng's mood became complicated when faced with this news. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, this courtyard could not escape the pace of urban development. He began to discuss coping strategies with his neighbors, hoping to preserve some of the original appearance and memory.

Chen Rufeng's efforts were supported by some neighbors, who drafted an application together, hoping that the government would consider preserving the unique hutong culture and historical heritage during the renovation. They also contacted some friends in the media and cultural circles, hoping to attract more attention and support.

When Chen Rufeng was worried about the future of the courtyard, there was a knock on the old wooden door of the courtyard. Chen Rufeng opened the door and saw his mother standing outside with a serious expression.

"Mom, why are you here so late?" Chen Rufeng asked in surprise.

Mother Chen did not answer, but walked straight into the yard, looked at her son and said, "Rufeng, before your father died, he told me to take good care of you. But now you are busy all day and have no time to do anything. Have you ever thought about the tradition of our family?"

Chen Rufeng's heart tightened, knowing that his mother was blaming him for his relationship with Yan Jie Di. He sighed and faced his mother's gaze calmly: "Mom, I know you are worried about me. Jie Di and I are serious, and I want to go on with her."

Mother Chen frowned: "You want to be with her, but what do her family think? Where is your future?"

"Mom, I will go to Jie Di's parents and explain everything to them. I am also working hard, hoping to give Jie Di a good future." Chen Rufeng said firmly.

Mother Chen looked at her son's determined expression, was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "You are my only son, I hope you can live well. But before dawn tomorrow, you have to go back to Beijing and explain this matter to Jie Di's parents. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Chen Rufeng nodded, knowing that his mother's worries were not unreasonable. He agreed to his mother's request, and then accompanied her back to the Yan family next door. Chen's mother left with peace of mind.

Returning to his own courtyard, Chen Rufeng felt an inexplicable pressure. He thought of Li Di, her gentleness and thoughtfulness, and their shared dreams and future. However, he also knew that his parents' worries were not unfounded.

The next morning, Chen Rufeng hurriedly packed his luggage, left the courtyard, and boarded the train to Beijing. Throughout the journey, he was thinking about how to face Jie Di's parents and how to be honest with them.

The train slowly pulled into Beijing Station, and Chen Rufeng got off the train and headed straight for Jie Di's home. He stood in front of Jie Di's door and pressed the doorbell, feeling somewhat nervous.

The door opened and Jie Di's parents appeared at the door. When they saw Chen Rufeng, they looked a little surprised.

"Rufeng, why are you here?" asked Jie Di's mother.

Chen Rufeng quickly said, "Auntie, uncle, I'm here because I want to talk to you about something."

Jie Di's parents looked at Chen Rufeng and motioned him to come into the house.

After sitting down, Chen Rufeng began to talk about how he and Jie Di met and got along with each other, as well as their feelings for each other. He told Jie Di's parents his feelings honestly, emphasizing his sincerity and determination.

Facing Chen Rufeng's sincerity, Jie Di's parents seemed a little hesitant and worried. Jie Di's father hesitated for a moment and said, "Rufeng, we know you are a good child, but marriage is a lifelong thing. You are still young and you should think it over carefully."

Chen Rufeng quickly said, "Uncle, Auntie, Jie Di and I are serious about this. I am also working hard to give her a good future."

Jie Di's mother shook her head and sighed: "Children, it's not that we don't trust you, we are just worried about your future. After all, social reality is very complicated."

Chen Rufeng listened silently. He knew that Jie Di's parents were thinking about their future. He decided to prove himself with actions and let Jie Di's parents see his sincerity and determination.

After leaving Jie Di's house, Chen Rufeng did not rush home, but found a quiet cafe, sat down and began to think about his next plan.

He decided to continue working hard to achieve greater success in his career. He also decided to work harder to understand Jie Di's family and background, as well as all aspects of their future life.

Chen Rufeng sat in the corner of the cafe, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, frowning slightly. His heart was full of expectations for the future, but he also faced family pressure and responsibility. Jie Di's parents were cautious about their relationship, which made Chen Rufeng feel a little frustrated, but he was also determined not to give up.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Chen Rufeng looked at the screen and saw that it was a call from home. He picked up the phone and heard his mother's anxious voice: "Rufeng, why aren't you coming back yet? Your father and I are waiting for you at home. This matter can't be delayed any longer. If it is not resolved, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

Chen Rufeng knew his parents were doing this for his own good, but he felt that he needed time and couldn't be pushed too hard. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his anxiety: "Mom, I'm thinking about a solution. I hope you can understand."

There was a hint of impatience in Chen's mother's voice: "Rufeng, Mom knows what you mean, but you also know the situation at home. Dad has told you that you must resolve this matter before dawn, otherwise..."

Chen Rufeng was silent for a while. He knew that his parents' attitude could not be changed. Finally, he agreed and promised to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Rufeng felt heavy-hearted. He knew he had to face Jie Di's parents and explain everything. He decided to return to Jie Di's home immediately and be honest with her parents without further delay.

Chen Rufeng hurried back to Jie Di's house. He felt that he was in a hurry, as if he was going to an important test. He knocked on the door of Jie Di's house, and Jie Di's parents warmly invited him to come in and sit down.

"Rufeng, why are you here again?" Jie Di's mother asked with a smile.

Chen Rufeng took a deep breath, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Auntie, uncle, I'm here because I want to talk to you."

Jie Di's parents looked puzzled and waited quietly for Chen Rufeng to speak.
