Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

The taxi slowly stopped at the edge of the park. Ran Qiuye took out the money and handed it to the driver, said "thank you" gently, and then walked quickly towards the old man.

The old man seemed to sense someone approaching, raised his head, and looked over anxiously. His eyes were like a deep pool, bottomless, seeing through the vicissitudes of life and the helplessness of life.

"Hello, uncle, have you been waiting here for a long time?" Ran Qiuye asked softly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, his voice low and slightly choked, "Yes, I'm waiting for her, but why hasn't she come yet?"

Ran Qiuye's heart suddenly became heavy. She sat beside the old man and gently held his hand. "Uncle, please tell me, who is she? Maybe I can help you."

The old man raised his eyes slightly, tears welling up in his eyes, "She is my lover. We agreed to meet here today, but she never came."

At this moment, Ran Qiuye couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She understood the pain of waiting in the old man's heart. In this busy city, there are so many lonely souls, waiting for the most precious promise.

"Uncle, maybe she is just a little late, why don't you wait a little longer?" Ran Qiuye comforted softly.

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Young man, you don't understand. She has been gone for a long time, but I still can't bear to admit it."

Ran Qiuye gently held the old man's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm and the traces left by the years. She didn't know what to say, so she just accompanied him silently.

Time passed slowly, the sun gradually set, and the crowd in the park gradually thinned out, leaving only Ran Qiuye and the old man quietly accompanying each other.

Finally, the old man slowly stood up, shook off the dust on his body, and turned to leave. He did not look back, but before leaving, he said to Ran Qiuye with a choked voice, "Thank you, young man, you made me feel no longer alone."

Ran Qiuye watched the old man walk away with heavy steps until his back disappeared at the corner of the street. She knew that perhaps she had not changed anything today, but to some extent, she felt a deep resonance and growth.

Back in the taxi, she looked out the window quietly, feeling indescribably touched and thoughtful. Perhaps, in this fast-paced city, every ordinary life has its own story, which needs someone to listen attentively.

The taxi drove to her destination. Facing the work that was about to begin, she felt more peaceful and grateful. Perhaps the meaning of life does not lie in the size of achievements, but in every little warmth and companionship.

Xu Mingjie's life changed because of an unexpected encounter. It was an ordinary weekend, and he and his friends gathered at a cafe in the city center. On that sunny afternoon, a girl's laughter caught his attention. The girl's name was Lin Yuwei, who was sitting at the next table, chatting and laughing with her friends. Her laughter was crisp and contagious, which made Xu Mingjie look at her a few more times involuntarily.

Friends noticed Xu Mingjie's gaze and started teasing him. Xu Mingjie was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't hide his interest in Lin Yuwei. Just then, Lin Yuwei stood up and walked towards their table. It turned out that she also knew Xu Mingjie's friends, and after a few pleasantries, they sat together.

Lin Yuwei's cheerfulness and humor quickly broke Xu Mingjie's restraint. They talked about their respective work and hobbies, and found that they had a lot in common. Xu Mingjie was surprised by Lin Yuwei's understanding of architecture, while Lin Yuwei was attracted by Xu Mingjie's concentration and talent. Their conversation lasted from the afternoon to dusk, as if time slipped away quietly around them.

In the next few days, Xu Mingjie's mind always appeared Lin Yuwei's smile and voice. He decided to take the initiative to contact her and ask her out for dinner. Lin Yuwei readily agreed, and the two had dinner together at a restaurant in the city center. That night, they talked a lot about work, life, dreams, and even their vision for the future.

As time went by, Xu Mingjie and Lin Yuwei became closer and closer. They began to participate in various activities together: going to art galleries to appreciate exhibitions, hiking in the suburbs, and watching movies together on weekend nights. Every time they spent together, they got to know each other better and were more certain that they were the right person for each other.

Xu Mingjie discovered that Lin Yuwei was not only a cheerful girl, but also had profound artistic accomplishments and unique insights. She liked photography and often took her camera to record the beautiful moments in life. Xu Mingjie liked to draw some sketches in his spare time, and they often went to various corners of the city together to look for inspiration.

Once, Lin Yuwei took Xu Mingjie to a place she often visited when she was a child - an old community on the edge of the city. The architectural style here is unique and full of historical atmosphere. Xu Mingjie found a lot of creative inspiration here, and Lin Yuwei used her camera to record every beautiful moment of theirs.

At dusk, Xu Mingjie suddenly felt that he had found the sense of belonging he wanted. With Lin Yuwei's company, his life became more colorful, and his heart was filled with warmth and happiness. He decided to design a house for Lin Yuwei that belonged to them, a house full of their common memories and dreams.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. Xu Mingjie and Lin Yuwei's relationship also encountered some challenges. Lin Yuwei had to move to another city for a period of time due to work transfer. Although they both said they would stick to this relationship, the distance and time tested their patience and trust.

During the days apart, Xu Mingjie put more energy into work and design, and he wanted to prove his love with practical actions. Lin Yuwei also worked hard in a different place, and kept in touch with Xu Mingjie through phone and video. They agreed to meet once every month, no matter how busy they were, they would take time to meet.

During this time, Xu Mingjie became more aware of his feelings for Lin Yuwei and became more determined to spend his life with her. He designed the house carefully, taking every detail into consideration. He knew that this was not just a house, but the fruit of their common dream.

Finally, on a warm spring day, Lin Yuwei's job transfer was completed and she returned to Xu Mingjie. That day, Xu Mingjie took her to the house that was about to be completed. Standing in front of the house, Lin Yuwei was so moved that she couldn't speak. She knew that this was the home that Xu Mingjie had built for her with all his heart, a home that belonged to the two of them.
