Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

In the following days, Xu Mingjie began to try to adjust his work and rest schedule, make a study plan, and set aside a fixed time every day to read and learn new knowledge. He even diversified his reading time, adding books on self-improvement and skill learning in addition to classic literature.

"In this way, I can truly apply the knowledge learned from books to my life." He repeatedly reminded himself in his heart and gradually built up confidence in self-improvement.

At the reading club in the courtyard, he also tried to share his plans with his neighbors and encouraged everyone to participate. He knew that this was not only a supervision of himself, but also a way for everyone to gain more motivation through joint efforts.

"Hello everyone, I have recently started to try a new lifestyle and I want to share it with you." Xu Mingjie spoke at a book club with enthusiasm in his eyes. He hopes to take this opportunity to get more people involved in this change.

"I plan to read every day, learn new skills, and work hard to improve myself, hoping to make progress together with everyone." His voice was firm and full of conviction, infecting the neighbors around him.

"That's a great idea! I want to try it too!" Lin Xiaoyu was the first to respond, with excitement in her eyes. "We can form a study group and encourage each other."

"I'm willing to participate too." Other neighbors expressed their support, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became more positive and enthusiastic at this moment.

Xu Mingjie was moved, realizing that he was not fighting alone, but a partner in the pursuit of progress together with everyone. He felt an invisible force that made him look forward to the future.

In the following days, Xu Mingjie worked together with his neighbors to develop a study plan, supervise and support each other. They read and discussed together, and shared the little changes in their lives, as if they had found resonance with each other in the process.

As he persisted every day, Xu Mingjie's inner changes became more and more obvious. His confidence gradually increased, and his enthusiasm for life continued to rise. He began to understand that true growth is not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also a change in attitude towards life.

"As long as I work hard, I can definitely change my life." His firm belief in his heart keeps him moving forward, looking forward to a better future.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. As time went on, Xu Mingjie also encountered setbacks. At work, he found himself facing more and more challenges and pressures. Several important projects did not progress as expected, which made him feel extremely frustrated.

"Mingjie, are you okay? You seem absent-minded lately." Lin Xiaoyu asked with concern at a party, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"I'm a little tired. I encountered some troubles at work." Xu Mingjie responded with a wry smile, feeling helpless. He knew that although he was working hard to improve his life, the pressure at work still made him feel suffocated.

"You can talk to us, maybe we can help you find a solution." Xu Damao expressed his support, his eyes full of understanding.

"Thank you. I will try to adjust my mindset and work hard to cope with it." Xu Mingjie felt a warm feeling in his heart. Realizing that he had these friends around him supporting him, he was more motivated to face the challenges.

He decided not to avoid it anymore, but to bravely face the difficulties in his work. He silently reminded himself: "Only by facing up to difficulties can we truly achieve self-improvement."

In the following days, Xu Mingjie began to actively communicate with his colleagues to find solutions. He worked hard to adjust his working methods, minimize time waste, and strive to improve efficiency. Although he still faced pressure, he gradually learned how to find the joy of life in the busyness.

"As long as I can persist, I will definitely see results." He secretly encouraged himself, and the desire for change in his heart continued to ferment.

When night falls, Xu Mingjie sits at his desk, tiredly looking at the starry sky outside the window, but a sense of peace surges in his heart. He knows that although life is still full of challenges, his efforts are gradually changing everything.

As the days passed, Xu Mingjie's life gradually became fulfilling and orderly. However, just when he felt that everything was moving in a positive direction, a small thing broke this peace. One night, he was reading quietly at his desk, and suddenly thought of the apples he bought, and a sense of anticipation surged in his heart. He thought that he could eat a crisp apple tomorrow morning to start a new day.

However, when he walked into the kitchen, his expectation instantly turned into doubt. "Where are my apples?" he said to himself, looking around, only to find that the apples he bought were missing. Xu Mingjie felt uneasy, and then lost. He clearly remembered that he bought a whole bag of apples and planned to enjoy them slowly.

"I must have put it somewhere," he thought to himself, trying to convince himself, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. The disappearance of Apple seemed to cast a shadow over his life, making him feel helpless.

He recalled that he and Xu Damao had discussed the importance of healthy eating a few days ago. "I should maintain good living habits and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables," Xu Mingjie thought to himself, mumbling to himself.

Unconsciously, Xu Mingjie walked to the door of his neighbor Lin Xiaoyu's house. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door. Lin Xiaoyu opened the door and saw Xu Mingjie with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Mingjie, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoyu, I have something to ask you." Xu Mingjie's voice was a little nervous, "Have you seen my apple?"

Lin Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, then she laughed: "Apple? Why are you asking me this? I haven't seen it before."

"I know you didn't see it, but I've been eating it these days, and suddenly I realized it was missing, so I was a little anxious." Xu Mingjie smiled bitterly and shook his head, but secretly hoped to get some clues in his heart.

"The apple is gone... maybe someone took it away?" Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have thought of something, with a mischievous look in her eyes. "Did someone take a fancy to your apple?"

"I don't know, but I always feel something is wrong." Xu Mingjie was a little irritated, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. "I remember I put it in the kitchen. Could someone have secretly taken it away?"

"You can ask other neighbors to see if anyone has seen it." Lin Xiaoyu suggested, with a trace of concern in her eyes. "Don't be too anxious, maybe you just forgot where you put it."

"I'll go ask." Xu Mingjie nodded, but he still felt a little anxious. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not that simple, as if there was some secret behind the disappearance of the apple.
