Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

Qin Huairu looked at Lou Xiaoe, with a complex emotion in her eyes. She realized that He Yuzhu's life had changed. And where should she go?

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e, then at Qin Huairu, and made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, I know you regret it, but we can't go back to the past. You have to be responsible for your decision. And I have to be responsible for my life."

Qin Huairu couldn't hold back her tears when she heard this: "I'm sorry, Yuzhu, I really regret it. But I respect your decision and hope you can be happy."

He Yuzhu nodded and watched Qin Huairu leave. He knew that he had made his choice and must go on firmly.

With Lou Xiao'e's company, He Yuzhu regained his rhythm of life. He understood that although the pain of the past was hard to forget, the happiness of the future was more worth pursuing. Together with Lou Xiao'e, he started a new life and faced new challenges and opportunities.

He Yuzhu's mood was as gloomy as the sky over the courtyard. Although he had made a decision, the entanglement and uneasiness in his heart could not be dissipated. Past feelings followed him like a shadow, and he knew that he had to face these emotions before he could truly let go.

On a cloudy afternoon, He Yuzhu finally decided to go find Qin Huairu. He felt that he owed her an apology and a thorough explanation. He hoped that through this conversation, he could completely let go of the past and embrace a new life.

He Yuzhu walked to the door of Qin Huairu's house, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. The door opened, and Qin Huairu stood at the door. When she saw it was him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Yuzhui, why are you here?" There was a hint of uneasiness in Qin Huairu's voice.

"Huai Ru, I have something to tell you. Can we go in and talk?" He Yuzhu tried his best to keep his voice calm.

Qin Huairu nodded and stepped aside to let him in. The room was still furnished with familiar things, but it seemed a little strange at this moment. After the two sat down, He Yuzhu was silent for a moment before speaking: "Huairu, I'm sorry, I know you have been very upset these days."

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said softly: "Yuzhu, this matter is not your fault. I didn't think clearly at the beginning and made the wrong decision."

He Yuzhu shook his head and looked at Qin Huairu affectionately: "No, Huairu, actually I was also wrong. I didn't really understand your feelings. I just thought you would be as excited about the future as I am. I was too selfish and only thought about my own feelings."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu, tears flashing in her eyes: "Yuzhu, I have always been grateful for your kindness to me, but gratitude is not love. I can't deceive myself anymore, let alone you."

He Yuzhu felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he knew that this was a reality that he had to face. He sighed softly, "Huai Ru, I understand. Let the past be the past. We all need a new beginning."

Qin Huairu nodded, and the tears in her eyes finally fell: "Yuzhu, thank you for understanding me. You are a good person, and you will definitely find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

He Yuzhu forced a smile: "You too, Huairu. I hope you can find your own happiness too."

The two were silent for a while, and a faint sadness filled the air. He Yuzhu stood up and prepared to leave: "Then I won't bother you anymore. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future. I will always treat you as a friend."

Qin Huairu also stood up and walked him to the door: "Yuzhu, thank you. You too, if you have anything, just come to me."

He Yuzhu nodded and walked out of Qin Huairu's house. He knew that although this conversation made him feel a little painful, it also made him completely let go of the past. He no longer dwelled on past feelings, but was ready to embrace a new life.

Back at the courtyard, He Yuzhu looked at every scene in the courtyard, and his heart was filled with new hope. He knew that the road ahead was still long, and what he had to do was to take every step steadily.

Lou Xiao'e was busy arranging flowers and plants in the yard. When she saw He Yuzhu coming back, she asked with concern, "Yuzhu, how are you?"

He Yuzhu walked over with a smile and patted Lou Xiao'e on the shoulder: "Everything is over, Xiao'e. Thank you for always being with me."

Lou Xiao'e smiled gently: "We are friends, so we should take care of each other. I hope you can think positively."

He Yuzhu nodded and looked at Lou Xiaoe with gratitude. He understood that there would be many challenges in his future life, but as long as he had the support of his friends, he would have the confidence to face everything.

In the following days, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were busy with the affairs of the courtyard. They planted flowers and repaired the yard together. Their days were peaceful and fulfilling. He Yuzhu gradually found his rhythm of life and the pain in his heart slowly healed.

One evening, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were chatting in the yard, and Lou Xiao'e suddenly asked: "Yuzhu, have you ever thought about finding another partner?"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao'e, I haven't really thought about this. It's good like this now, let's live well first and talk about it later."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, with a complex emotion in her eyes: "Yes, it's good like this now. However, if you meet the right person one day, don't hesitate."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e and was suddenly touched: "Thank you, Xiao'e. You always think about me so much."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and said softly: "We are friends, so we should take care of each other."

He Yuzhu's mood gradually calmed down and his life returned to normal. Although the days in the courtyard were ordinary, they were fulfilling. Whenever he looked up at the sky, he always felt that the future was full of hope. However, there was one thing that always lingered in his mind, and that was Xu Damao's attitude.

Xu Damao is a rather conceited person in the courtyard. He always likes to show off in front of everyone, especially in front of He Yuzhu. He always seems to have a sense of superiority. He Yuzhu knows that Xu Damao's attitude towards him is more or less related to Qin Huairu's affairs. Although he has let go of the past, Xu Damao's words and deeds still make him feel uncomfortable.

On a sunny morning, He Yuzhu was repairing his bicycle in the yard when he suddenly heard Xu Damao say sarcastically, "Hey, Yuzhu, why are you repairing the bike again? How often do you break down your bike?"

He Yuzhu looked up at Xu Damao and replied calmly: "The car has a minor problem, it just needs to be fixed."

Xu Damao smiled, with a hint of provocation in his tone: "Yuzhu, you are just too honest. If it were me, I would have bought a new one long ago. Why would I always have to repair it?"
