Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Fit in. He felt as if he were trapped in an unsolvable dilemma, which made him a little depressed.

"He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? You don't look well." Chenxi walked over with concern and sat next to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing. Maybe the shoes don't fit well and it's a bit uncomfortable."

Chenxi frowned. She knew that He Yuzhu always paid attention to his clothes. If his shoes didn't fit, it would definitely affect his mood and behavior. She decided to help He Yuzhu think of a solution.

"Wait a minute, I'll find something for you to try." Chenxi said and left the yard. After a while, she came back with a pair of slippers that looked relatively comfortable in her hand.

"Try it, maybe this pair of slippers will be better." Chenxi handed the slippers to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the slippers, put them on and tried them on, and felt that they were indeed more comfortable than the previous shoes. He looked at Chenxi gratefully and said, "Thank you, Chenxi, these slippers are indeed much more comfortable."

Chenxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're welcome. It's only natural for friends to help each other."

He Yuzhu was secretly glad that Chenxi's slippers fit him better, but he was still worried about his own shoe size. So he thought of his friend Lou Xiao'e, who was always a helpful friend, and maybe she had some good suggestions or solutions.

He Yuzhu stood up and walked carefully to the door of Lou Xiao'e's room. He knocked on the door and waited for Lou Xiao'e's response.

"Who is it?" Lou Xiao'e's voice came from the room.

"It's me, He Yuzhu." he replied.

Lou Xiao'e opened the door and saw He Yuzhu's anxious expression. She immediately asked, "He Yuzhu, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

He Yuzhu was secretly grateful. He knew that Lou Xiao'e was always considerate, so he told her about the problem with the shoes without hesitation. After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e immediately expressed her willingness to help.

"No problem, let me take a look at your shoes." She said, and walked into He Yuzhu's room.

He Yuzhu handed the shoes to Lou Xiao'e, who carefully checked them and said with a smile, "He Yuzhu, you did buy a shoe size that is a little too small. But it doesn't matter, I know a way to make the shoes a little looser."

Lou Xiao'e took the shoes, took out a professional shoe last, and then began to carefully adjust the size of the shoes. Her movements were skillful and steady.

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e and felt grateful. He realized that with such a kind and knowledgeable friend, his problems could always be solved.

"Okay, try it again." After adjusting the shoes, Lou Xiao'e returned them.

He Yuzhu put on the shoes and tried them on. He felt that they were indeed much more comfortable. He looked at Lou Xiao'e with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Xiao'e. Thank you so much."

He Yuzhu felt that the headache was very weak at first, like a small seed quietly growing in his mind. But as time went on, the headache gradually became more severe, like a series of gentle waves, gradually evolving into a pain that could not be ignored.

He shook his head, trying to dispel the discomfort in his mind, but the pain was like a needle piercing his brain, and he couldn't get rid of it.

"He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? You don't look well." Chenxi's voice broke He Yuzhu's thoughts.

He Yuzhu forced a smile and said, "Nothing, maybe a slight headache."

Chenxi frowned. She knew that He Yuzhu was always a tough person and would not easily show fatigue and discomfort. But she also knew that He Yuzhu's health problems could not be ignored, so she decided to help him.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some headache medicine." Chenxi turned around and was about to leave.

He Yuzhu quickly shook his head and said, "No need, Chenxi, I will be fine."

But Chenxi had already turned and left, and after a while, she came back with a bottle of headache medicine.

"Here, take some headache medicine, it might help." Chenxi handed it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took the medicine bottle and looked at Chenxi with gratitude. He knew that Chenxi really cared about him and didn't want to see him feel uncomfortable. So he took the medicine bottle and took a headache pill.

"Thank you, Chenxi." He Yuzhu said gratefully.

Chenxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're welcome. It's only natural for friends to help each other."

After Chenxi left, He Yuzhu sat quietly on a bench in the yard, holding his forehead with his hand, trying to control the pain of his headache. He realized that he couldn't always rely on others, and he needed to learn to take care of himself, including solving the problem of eating.

Although the headache still hindered his thinking, he made up his mind. He stood up, and although his steps were a little staggering, he tried to keep steady and walked out step by step.

"He Yuzhu, where are you going?" Lou Xiao'e noticed He Yuzhu's actions and walked over.

"I want to buy some food." He Yuzhu forced a smile, trying not to let the pain of his headache affect his expression.

Lou Xiao'e frowned, seeing He Yuzhu's discomfort, but she also knew that He Yuzhu was a strong person and didn't want others to worry about him. She was silent for a while, then said, "I'll go with you."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e with gratitude, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. With friends around, no matter how difficult it is, he feels that he can overcome everything.

They walked out of the courtyard together, the sun shining on them, the breeze blowing, making people feel refreshed and pleasant. Although He Yuzhu still had a headache, he was in a much better mood than before.

They came to a small shop on the street. The dishes in the shop were rich and dazzling. He Yuzhu carefully selected the ingredients he liked, and Lou Xiao'e gave advice beside him.

"He Yuzhu, what do you want to buy? I'll get it for you." Lou Xiao'e's voice came, interrupting He Yuzhu's thoughts.

He Yuzhu came back to his senses, nodded gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Xiao'e, you are so kind."

After returning to the courtyard, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e prepared dinner together. They cooked the selected ingredients into a variety of delicious dishes, which were fragrant and mouth-watering.

While waiting for the food to be cooked, He Yuzhu took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he had just bought. He had picked it specially because it was one of his favorite snacks and a bite of it always made him happy.

He cut the osmanthus cake into small pieces and took a bite. The sweet but not greasy taste spread in his mouth, as if soothing his tired heart. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of this moment.
