Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Ran Qiuye took out a document and handed it to him. "This is a project for the renovation of the old city. I need your design ability and support. This project is very important to me. If it succeeds, I can get rid of my current predicament."

Xu Mingjie flipped through the documents, which were detailed and complex, requiring extremely high design and execution capabilities. "This project does have great potential, but why did you choose me?"

Ran Qiuye looked at him with a firm look in her eyes, "Because you are the best architect I have ever met. I know we have had conflicts in the past, but this time I hope we can put the past aside and work together."

Xu Mingjie thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will help you. But there is one condition."

"What conditions?" A hint of uneasiness flashed across Ran Qiuye's eyes.

"

"Yes, having dinner with Ran Qiuye. Are you doing okay over there?" Xu Mingjie asked in a low voice.

"I just got home and I'm a little tired. Don't come back too late and go to bed early." Lin Yuwei gently advised.

"Okay, I will. You should also go to bed early. Love you." Xu Mingjie said gently.

"Yes, Qiuye, all this is the result of our joint efforts." Xu Mingjie said with a smile, "I believe that as long as we continue to work hard, more people will be able to understand the story of the Siheyuan."

Uncle Zhang began to explain the history of the Siheyuan in detail. He talked about the origin of the Siheyuan, its changes in different historical periods, and how it became a unique cultural symbol. Uncle Zhang's explanation was profound and easy to understand, which benefited Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye a lot.

"You see, the history of the courtyard house is not only the history of the building, but also the history of people's lives." Uncle Zhang pointed to an old photo and said, "Every courtyard house has its own story, and every person who lives in it has added something to this history."

"Uncle Zhang, your explanation is so wonderful." Ran Qiuye exclaimed, "We hope to record these histories so that more people can understand the charm of the Siheyuan."

"Uncle Zhang, can you tell us the history of the courtyard house?" Xu Mingjie asked respectfully.

Xu Mingjie strolled in the courtyard in the dead of night. The moonlight in the courtyard sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, casting mottled shadows. He felt a little heavy. Ran Qiuye was tired from the busy work and stayed in her room. Xu Mingjie understood that her work was of great significance to their common cause, but he couldn't bear to see her working so hard.

He walked to Ran Qiuye's door and knocked gently. There was a moment of silence in the room, and then Ran Qiuye's soft voice: "Who is it?"

"Qiuye, it's me, Mingjie." He answered softly.

The door opened a crack, revealing Ran Qiuye's tired but clear eyes, "Mingjie, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xu Mingjie smiled and shook his head, "How can I sleep knowing that you are still working here?"

Ran Qiuye looked at him and didn't speak for a while. She knew his feelings and knew that he came to see her for her health and mood. Their work has been very busy recently. In order to ensure the accuracy and depth of the records, they often need to stay up late and work overtime. During this period of time, their lives seemed to be filled with work in every corner, but behind all this, she could feel his deep concern and love.

"Mingjie, I know you are worried about me." Ran Qiuye finally spoke, with a hint of gratitude and apology in her voice.

Xu Mingjie gently opened the door and walked into the room. He walked to Ran Qiuye and gently held her hand, "Qiuye, we all understand how important this period of time is to our work. However, I don't want you to overwork yourself for work. Your health and mood are more important."

Ran Qiuye smiled gently, "I know, Mingjie. I will pay attention to rest."

Xu Mingjie nodded. He knew that Ran Qiuye was a responsible person, but sometimes her sense of responsibility would make her ignore her body. He hoped to find a balance between work and life so that their careers could not only achieve success, but also make their lives more fulfilling and happy.

"Mingjie, didn't you sleep tonight either?" Ran Qiuye asked softly.

Xu Mingjie smiled and said, "Yeah, I'd like to stay with you for a while. Maybe we can have a cup of tea and talk about other things."

Ran Qiuye nodded, she felt Xu Mingjie's care and understanding. This tacit understanding and support was one of the important reasons why they could go through these years together. They never stopped exploring and recording the Siheyuan culture, but now, maybe it's time to take a break and relax themselves.

They sat in the living room and lit a fragrant tea light. In the quiet night, they drank tea and chatted, no longer talking about work, but some ordinary life trivia. These simple exchanges made them feel each other's company and warmth, as if time slowed down.

"Qiuye, you know, we have experienced a lot over the years, both bitter and sweet, but I have never regretted choosing this path." Xu Mingjie looked at Ran Qiuye, his eyes full of sincerity and emotion.

Ran Qiuye smiled slightly, "Me too, Mingjie. Every moment we experience together is part of our common life."

Their words were full of recollections of the past years and expectations for the future. In this quiet and warm night, they felt each other's company and support, and this feeling made them feel that everything was worth it.

Time passed quietly, and the moonlight gradually disappeared in the distant clouds. Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye finally decided to rest. They leaned on the sofa and gently closed their eyes. The sound of wind and insects in the yard formed a peaceful nocturne, accompanying them into sleep.

The next morning, when the first rays of morning light shone through the curtains into the room, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye woke up leisurely. They smiled at each other, their eyes full of understanding and gratitude for each other's deep feelings.

"Qiuye, let's go have breakfast and then continue our work." Xu Mingjie said softly.

Ran Qiuye nodded. She knew that they would be busy at work again today. But now she felt a strength and motivation she had never felt before because he was by her side.

They walked out of the courtyard, the sun shining warmly on their shoulders. Everything was the same as usual, but they were more relaxed and happy because they knew that no matter what the future held, they would face it together and work hard together.

After spending a relaxing and warm morning in the courtyard, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye returned to their work. In the office of the courtyard, they concentrated on studying the latest literature and shooting videos.
