Siheyuan, integrating everything, cultivating the city

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xiangqian decided to go to the bookstore. He likes reading and thinks books are a good companion for relaxing. Walking into the bookstore, Li Xiangqian felt a peaceful atmosphere. He walked among the bookshelves and picked out some books he liked.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian made a pot of tea, sat at the desk and began to read. He was immersed in the world of the book and felt a kind of spiritual peace and satisfaction. This feeling made him forget the pressure of work and the trivialities of life, as if he had found the balance point in his heart.

In the afternoon, Li Xiangqian decided to make a special dinner for himself. He prepared all kinds of ingredients and started to get busy. He hummed a little tune while cutting vegetables and seasoning, feeling happy. After careful cooking, delicious dishes were served on the table.

Just as he was about to start eating, there was a knock at the gate of the yard. He walked over and opened the door, and saw He Yuzhu standing outside the door with a bottle of red wine in his hand. He smiled and said, "Xiang Qian, I came to see you and brought a bottle of red wine. Shall we drink together?"

Li Xiangqian smiled and welcomed him in, "Great, I just happened to cook some food, let's eat together."

The two sat at the dining table, raised their glasses and clinked them. Li Xiangqian took a sip of red wine and felt the rich aroma. They ate and talked, sharing their feelings and stories, and their laughter echoed in the yard.

"Xiang Qian, today is a great day, we should all relax." He Yuzhu said with emotion. "Yes, there are still these wonderful times and sincere friendships."

As the night deepened, Li Xiangqian and He Yuzhu enjoyed this quiet and warm time in the yard. Li Xiangqian felt extremely satisfied and happy, and he knew that such moments were the real life.

After He Yuzhu left, he looked at the starry sky and said to himself silently: "No matter how busy life is, remember to give yourself some time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the present moment."

Li Xiangqian had been extremely busy at work this week. Finally, on the weekend, he decided to go to the nearby market to buy some fresh ingredients and prepare a hearty dinner for himself and his family. The market was bustling with people and the stalls were full of goods. Li Xiangqian picked out the vegetables and meat he liked and enjoyed this simple but fulfilling life.

As he was selecting vegetables at a stall, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Li Xiangqian? Is it really you?"

Li Xiangqian turned his head and saw Qin Huairu standing behind him, holding several shopping bags. Seeing her, Li Xiangqian's heart tightened. This name and this person had brought him too many complicated emotions. Their relationship had always been full of contradictions and disputes, especially about some past grievances, which had not been completely resolved so far.

"It's me." Li Xiangqian responded coldly without a trace of smile on his face.

Qin Huairu obviously felt his indifference and frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure, "Long time no see, how are you?" "Very well. How about you?"

"I'm fine too. What are you busy with recently?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.

Li Xiangqian's tone remained cold, "Work, life. Nothing special."

Qin Huairu sighed, as if trying to ease the atmosphere, "Move forward, the past is over, we shouldn't always dwell on it. We are all adults now, can we try to start over, at least be friends?"

Li Xiangqian's heart was in turmoil, and all kinds of memories of the past came to his mind. Although he knew that time could dilute many things, some scars would not disappear because of time. Thinking of this, his tone became more firm, "Huai Ru, some things cannot be forgotten. The problem between us cannot be solved with a simple sentence."

Qin Huairu looked a little disappointed, but still forced a smile, "I understand what you mean. But, Xiang Qian, I sincerely hope that we can reconnect. No matter what, we are neighbors after all."

Li Xiangqian did not respond immediately. He lowered his head and continued to pick vegetables, trying to calm himself down. The emotional entanglement in his heart made him feel a little irritated, but he knew that in this public place, he could not show too much excitement. He looked up at Qin Huairu and said calmly: "I will consider it. However, I have something else to do now, so let's talk another day."

Qin Huairu nodded, "Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. I'll contact you when I have time."

Li Xiangqian looked at her leaving back, feeling indescribable. Past disputes and conflicts were like lingering shadows, but life had to go on and it was impossible to always live in the shadow of the past. Li Xiangqian put the ingredients in the kitchen, but he couldn't calm down. He sat at the dining table, thinking of the conversation just now, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions. The appearance of Qin Huairu forced him to re-examine his heart and past experiences.

Just as he was lost in thought, He Yuzhu pushed the door open and saw Li Xiangqian with a serious face. He asked with concern, "Xiangqian, what's wrong with you? You don't look very happy."

Li Xiangqian looked up at He Yuzhu and sighed, "Yuzhu, I just ran into Qin Huairu in the market."

He Yuzhu frowned, "Qin Huairu? Why is she there? What did you talk about?"

Li Xiangqian smiled helplessly, "We didn't talk about anything, she just said she wanted to be friends again. But I still can't let go of the past. "Xiangqian, I understand your feelings. It's true that the past is not easy to forget, but sometimes, we also need to learn to let go, give ourselves a chance, and start over."

Li Xiangqian was silent for a while, and felt a little relieved. He knew that He Yuzhu was right, and perhaps he should try to let go of the past and give himself and others a chance.

"Thank you, Yuzhu. Maybe I should really try to let go of these things." Li Xiangqian said gratefully.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, "Yes, life must go on. We all have our own paths to take. Don't let the past affect your present life."

Li Xiangqian felt an unprecedented sense of relief. He decided not to dwell on the past and try to face his future life with a new mindset.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited He Yuzhu and several other friends to come together. Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, enjoying this wonderful time together. Li Xiangqian looked at the smiling faces of his friends and felt a long-lost happiness in his heart.

That night, the courtyard was filled with laughter and joy, and Li Xiangqian's mood became cheerful. He knew that no matter how complicated life was, as long as he had the support and care of his friends,
