Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

Xu Mingjie sighed softly: "It was fine. We had dinner together and talked about some things in the past and present."

Qin Jingru was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Are you old friends?"

Xu Mingjie nodded: "Yes, we have known each other for many years, but we have rarely contacted each other in recent years."

Qin Jingru smiled slightly: "It sounds like there are a lot of stories between you two."

Xu Mingjie smiled and said, "Yes, we were in the same circle in college, and we had many common interests and topics at that time."

Their conversation gradually unfolded in a warm family atmosphere, and the night became quiet and harmonious. Qin Jingru continued to talk about her recent interesting things at home, making the atmosphere more relaxed and pleasant.

After dinner, Xu Mingjie picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine, and sat on the sofa in the living room. He didn't drink often, but tonight he felt he needed a little alcohol to calm his mind.

"Do you want to drink?" Qin Jingru came over and looked at him with concern.

Xu Mingjie smiled and shook his head: "I just want to drink something."

He picked up the wine glass and tasted the mellowness of the wine. The stimulation of alcohol gradually relaxed his body and mind, and he closed his eyes and let his thoughts drift in his mind.

"Why do you want to drink?" Qin Jingru sat next to him and asked in a soft voice.

Xu Mingjie opened his eyes, looked at her warm eyes, and said inexplicably: “I just want to calm myself down.”

Qin Jingru smiled gently: "If there is anything, you can tell me."

Xu Mingjie put down his glass and looked at her quietly, with a surge of gratitude in his heart. Qin Jingru has always been the pillar and support of his life. Her understanding and tolerance make him feel warm and at ease.

"Thank you, Jingru." He said softly, with gratitude and tenderness in his voice.

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "You're welcome. You can come to me anytime."

Their eyes met, as if conveying understanding and care for each other in tacit understanding. Xu Mingjie felt an indescribable sense of security and satisfaction. He didn't know how the future would develop, but at this moment he knew that by her side, he would not feel lonely and confused.

Xu Mingjie and Qin Jingru spent a pleasant evening at home, enjoying the dinner prepared by Qin Jingru amidst laughter and joy. They recalled the past and looked forward to the future. The warm atmosphere gradually made Xu Mingjie put aside all the doubts and anxieties in his heart.

While they were drinking tea after dinner and chatting, Lou Xiao'e came to visit unexpectedly. Lou Xiao'e is a long-time friend of Xu Mingjie, and she and Xu Mingjie have a deep friendship and tacit understanding. Her tall figure and smart eyes always bring a kind of vitality and vitality to the people around her.

"Hey, Mingjie! Long time no see!" Lou Xiao'e said straight to the point, her voice full of vitality and sunshine.

Xu Mingjie stood up and walked towards her with a smile on his face: "Xiao'e, what a surprise! Why did you come here so suddenly?"

Lou Xiao'e hugged him with a smile, then took his hand and said, "I heard you were having dinner here, so I wanted to come and see."

Qin Jingru also stood up and greeted Lou Xiaoe: "Xiaoe, long time no see! You came just in time. We just finished dinner and were still chatting."

Lou Xiao'e turned around and said to Qin Jingru with a smile: "Jingru, you look so good. Mingjie is so lucky."

Qin Jingru blushed and shook her head gently: "Don't talk nonsense, we are just friends."

Xu Mingjie felt an inexplicable pleasure watching the relaxed conversation between the two women. The three of them were good friends who talked about everything in college. Although they have different developments in life and career now, the tacit understanding and friendship between them have never changed.

"Xiao'e, would you like something to drink?" Xu Mingjie asked, pointing at the wine cabinet.

Lou Xiao'e blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Of course! I came here for such a long time, how can I go back empty-handed? Come on, give me a drink."

Xu Mingjie took out a bottle of red wine, unscrewed the cap gently, and poured a few glasses. The three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room, holding their wine glasses, and continued their communication and memories.

"I remember when we were in college, we would get together every weekend to go to the movies, go shopping, and sometimes even chat all night long." Lou Xiao'e picked up the wine glass, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, "At that time, each of us had our own dreams, but now it seems that the dreams have become reality."

Qin Jingru smiled and nodded: "Yes, that time was really wonderful."

Xu Mingjie took a sip of wine and took a deep breath: "Yes, we all had a lot of aspirations and expectations at that time."

They talked about their college days, each with their own memories and stories. In the middle of the night, they seemed to have returned to their youth, a time full of dreams and hopes.

"Mingjie, how have you been recently?" Lou Xiao'e looked at him and asked with concern.

Xu Mingjie smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm a bit busy at work, but there has been some progress."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Lou Xiao'e's eyes: "Besides work, is there anything else?"

Xu Mingjie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I ran into an old friend tonight."

Qin Jingru and Lou Xiaoe looked at him at the same time, obviously very interested in the news.

"Oh? Who is it?" Lou Xiao'e's voice was full of curiosity.

Xu Mingjie smiled and said, "It was a friend I hadn't contacted for a long time. We had dinner together and talked about some past events."

Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows: "Oh, then is this friend a man or a woman?"

Xu Mingjie smiled slightly: "It's a girl."

Qin Jingru laughed softly: "Oh, it's a girlfriend?"

Xu Mingjie shook his head: "No, we are just friends."

Lou Xiao'e deliberately smiled and said, "Friends? This doesn't seem like you. Could it be that an old relationship has rekindled?"

Xu Mingjie shook his head and tried to explain: "No, we just talked about some things in the past and present."

The three of them continued to drink and chat about their lives and moods in a relaxed atmosphere. Lou Xiao'e made the atmosphere more lively and pleasant with her humor and cheerfulness. Qin Jingru listened quietly on the side, occasionally inserting a gentle word or two.

"Come on, let's drink this glass!" Lou Xiao'e raised her glass and said heroically.

Xu Mingjie and Qin Jingru also raised their glasses, and the three of them exchanged glasses amid laughter.

"Tonight is such a surprise." Lou Xiao'e looked at them with a bright smile, "We should get together more often in the future when we have time."

"Great, it's so rare to get together happily like this." Qin Jingru said softly.

Xu Mingjie nodded, feeling the warmth and satisfaction in his heart.
