Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Liu Ping'an rode his bicycle slowly across the road, the wheels creaking as they rolled, as if playing an ancient piece of music. His eyes were always fixed on the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, his heart filled with curiosity and doubt. Finally, he came in front of Lou Xiao'e, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a polite smile, his eyes flashing with an inquiring light.

"Xiao'e, why are you here? Are you waiting for someone?" His voice was low and magnetic, like the breeze gently blowing through the leaves in the middle of the night.

Lou Xiao'e shook her head gently, with a mysterious smile, like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance. Her eyes were clear and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky. "No, I actually came to see you. I want to talk to you about something. Is it convenient?"

Liu Ping'an's heart skipped a beat, as if he was being held tightly by an invisible hand. He couldn't help but wonder why Lou Xiao'e was looking for him. Was it because of what happened before? Or was there another reason? His brows knitted slightly, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed across his face.

He was not afraid of being involved with Lou Xiao'e. Even if Lou Xiao'e ran away in the future, it would not affect him much. After all, the only woman he married was Qin Jingru. And to be honest, he had a good impression of Lou Xiao'e, but it was not much. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.

Liu Pingan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded gently, his eyes showing determination and confidence again. His smile was like the sun shining through the clouds, illuminating his entire face, making people fall for him. "Of course, let's go to the restaurant over there and sit down." He stretched out his slender finger and pointed to a small shop not far away. The environment there was quiet and peaceful, very suitable for calming down and chatting.

The two walked slowly into the restaurant and found a seat by the window. The scenery outside the window was picturesque, and the breeze rustled the leaves. The faint fragrance of tea filled the restaurant, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Lou Xiao'e sat on the chair, leaning forward slightly, her eyes flickering, looking a little nervous. Her hands were tightly clasped together, as if she was trying to control her emotions. Liu Ping'an looked at her quietly, his eyes gentle and patient, waiting for her to speak.

"Ping An, actually... I've always wanted to tell you something." Lou Xiao'e's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of indescribable emotion, as if she was trying to suppress the waves in her heart. She took a deep breath and continued, "After that day, I thought a lot. I know I did some wrong things before and let you down."

Liu Ping'an didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to suddenly mention this matter. His expression froze instantly, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. However, he quickly regained his composure and responded softly: "It's all over, Xiao'e. We all have our own lives now, don't we?" His tone revealed a sense of relief and tolerance, as if everything in the past had become a passing cloud.

Lou Xiao'e nodded gently, with a hint of sadness and regret in her eyes: "Well, I understand, and I also know that some things cannot be undone, but I still want to express my apologies to you. The mistakes I made made me lose someone as good as you, and I also missed the opportunity to create a happy life with you. I just hope you can understand that I really realize my mistakes."

Liu Ping'an stared at Lou Xiao'e quietly, with an indescribable emotion surging in his heart. He could feel Lou Xiao'e's pain and self-blame, because they had spent so many beautiful and unforgettable times together. However, the reality now pushed the two people into completely different life trajectories.

"Xiao'e, thank you for coming to see me today and honestly admitting your mistakes. I am very happy to see that you have grown and reflected on your past behavior. Although we have parted ways, I sincerely hope that you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you." Liu Ping'an said sincerely.

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's eyes slightly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying hard not to let the tears flow down. Then she nodded, forced a smile, and said: "Thank you, Ping An. I know I am no longer qualified to ask for anything, but I just hope you can live a good life. If you encounter difficulties or need help in the future, remember that you still have a friend like me." After saying this, she bit her lip lightly, and a trace of barely perceptible sadness flashed in her eyes.

Liu Pingan looked at Lou Xiao'e and felt a little emotional. He knew that his relationship with Lou Xiao'e was irreparable, but he still hoped to maintain a friendly relationship. So, he smiled and said to Lou Xiao'e: "Of course, we will always be good friends. No matter what happens in the future, we must take care of each other." Then, he comforted her: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. But you must pay attention to your health and don't overwork yourself."

The two chatted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. They began to talk about their recent situations and share bits and pieces of life. Liu Ping'an told Lou Xiao'e about some recent progress and achievements in work, while Lou Xiao'e confided some family trivia and troubles to him. They listened to each other and encouraged each other, as if they had returned to the time when they could talk about everything.

Finally, Liu Ping'an suggested that they recall some interesting things in the past to cheer Lou Xiao'e up. Lou Xiao'e readily agreed, and the two began to recall those beautiful moments. While they were telling those interesting stories, they laughed heartily, as if they had forgotten all their troubles and unhappiness.

Although time has passed, those beautiful memories are still deeply imprinted in their hearts. These memories make them feel the deep friendship between each other. Even if they can't be lovers, at least they can get along like friends.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e left here silently. Liu Ping'an stood there, quietly watching her leaving, and a trace of emotion welled up in his heart. He knew in his heart that Lou Xiao'e might really leave Sijiu City forever this time.

In fact, from the beginning, Liu Pingan had guessed that Lou Xiaoe would have this day. He just didn't expect that she would choose to leave so suddenly before getting married. However, for Liu Pingan, these were all irrelevant things. Because in fact, whether Lou Xiaoe left or not, it would not have any substantial impact on him.

Thinking of this, Liu Pingan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. Since things have come to this, why not sincerely bless Lou Xiao'e! I hope she can find her own happiness and live a good life. At the same time, I also hope that her future will be smooth, full of sunshine and warmth. At this moment, the only thing Liu Pingan can do is to pray silently, wishing Lou Xiao'e all the best...
