Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

"He Yuzhu, Yuzhu, I feel that our courtyard is getting better and better, and every day is filled with happiness and hope." He Yuzhu said affectionately, with a warm light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, He Yuzhu, with you around me, I feel happy every day." Lin Xiaomu answered softly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

On an early summer night, the breeze blew through the courtyard, bringing a hint of coolness. He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu walked side by side in the courtyard, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness. They were going to meet someone - Ran Qiuye, a girl that Lin Xiaomu had admired for a long time.

"Yuzhui, you must work hard today." He Yuzhui smiled and patted Lin Xiaomu's shoulder, with encouragement and support in his tone.

"Well, He Yuzhu, thank you for your support all the time." Lin Xiaomu nodded, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

They walked out of the courtyard and headed towards a small restaurant in the town. That was the meeting place they had agreed to meet with Ran Qiuye. Along the way, both of them silently thought about the upcoming date, feeling nervous and expectant.

Arriving at the restaurant entrance, He Yuzhu glanced at his watch. The time was just right. They walked into the restaurant and saw Ran Qiuye already sitting at a table in a corner, looking down at the menu. She was wearing a light blue dress, which made her look particularly fresh and attractive.

"Qiuye, we are here." Lin Xiaomu walked over with a smile, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his voice.

Ran Qiuye raised her head and saw He Yuzhu and Lin Xiaomu, with a warm smile on her face. "Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, you are here, please sit down."

After the three of them sat down, the atmosphere became a little tense. He Yuzhu glanced at Lin Xiaomu and motioned him to relax. Lin Xiaomu nodded, took a deep breath, and started chatting with Ran Qiuye.

"Qiuye, how have you been lately?" Lin Xiaomu asked with concern in his tone.

"Not bad. I've been a little busy at work lately, but it's okay." Ran Qiuye replied with a smile, a gentle light in her eyes.

He Yuzhu silently observed the interaction between the two and felt happy for Lin Xiaomu. He knew that Lin Xiaomu had always had a good impression of Ran Qiuye, and today's date was an important opportunity for their relationship to develop further.

"Qiuye, the weather is really nice today. We can go to the nearby park for a walk later." He Yuzhu suggested, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Okay, I like taking walks too." Ran Qiuye nodded, with anticipation in his eyes.

The three of them chatted happily for a while, and then ordered a few dishes together. The atmosphere of the dinner gradually became relaxed and harmonious, and laughter and pleasant conversations echoed in the corners of the restaurant.

After dinner, they decided to take a walk in a nearby park. The park looked particularly peaceful at night, with street lamps casting a soft light, illuminating the green trees and paths.

"Qiu Ye, it's so beautiful here. I feel really good every time I come here." Lin Xiaomu said softly, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Yes, Yuzhu, it's really beautiful here. Thank you for inviting me today, I'm really happy." Ran Qiuye responded with a smile, gratitude and joy flashing in his eyes.

He Yuzhu walked silently behind the two of them, leaving them some private space. He felt extremely relieved in his heart, seeing that Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye got along so well, he felt that his efforts were not in vain.

Walking to a bench, Lin Xiaomu stopped and asked softly, "Qiuye, let's sit down and chat for a while."

"Okay." Ran Qiuye nodded and sat on the bench.

Lin Xiaomu also sat down, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say, "Qiu Ye, actually, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I don't know how to start."

Ran Qiuye looked at him with gentle encouragement in her eyes. "Yuzhu, just say whatever you want to say. I'm listening."

Lin Xiaomu was silent for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Qiu Ye, I have always liked you. I wonder if you are willing to give me a chance so that we can get to know each other better."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye showed a hint of surprise and a gentle smile on her face. She said softly: "Yuzhu, in fact, I have always admired you. You are a kind and responsible person. I am willing to give us a chance."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaomu felt excited and relieved. He looked at Ran Qiuye gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Qiuye. I will definitely cherish this relationship and treat you well."

He Yuzhu stood aside and saw this scene, his heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction. He knew that Lin Xiaomu had finally found her own happiness, and he was extremely happy for it.

In the following days, the relationship between Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye became closer and closer. They spent many wonderful times together, and had more intersections and tacit understandings in both work and life.

On a sunny afternoon, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye decided to go for an outing in the suburbs. He Yuzhu was also invited to go with them, and the three of them took their picnic baskets and set off with great enthusiasm.

The scenery in the suburbs was picturesque, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye walked in front, and He Yuzhu followed behind, feeling extremely peaceful and satisfied.

"Yuzhu, Qiuye, the scenery here is so beautiful." He Yuzhu exclaimed, with appreciation gleaming in his eyes.

"Yes, He Yuzhu, this place is really beautiful. I have always wanted to bring you here to see it." Ran Qiuye said with a smile, with a happy smile on her face.

They found a patch of grass, spread out their picnic mats, put out the food they brought, and sat down to enjoy this wonderful time. Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye ate and talked, laughing constantly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"He Yuzhu, these foods are so delicious. Your cooking skills are really good." Ran Qiuye exclaimed, with appreciation in his eyes.

"Thank you, Qiuye. I am also very happy to share delicious food with you." He Yuzhu replied with a smile, his heart full of satisfaction.

After lunch, they rested on the grass for a while, and then continued to walk in the suburbs. Along the way, Lin Xiaomu and Ran Qiuye held hands, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Yuzhui, Qiuye, seeing you so happy, I am really happy for you." He Yuzhui said sincerely, his heart full of emotion.

"He Yuzhu, thank you for your support and help all the time. Without you, we would not have the happiness we have today." Lin Xiaomu said gratefully, with a gentle light in his eyes.

"Yes, He Yuzhu, you are our best friend and we will always be grateful to you." Ran Qiuye also said softly, with sincerity in his eyes.
