Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

After hearing Su Mu's words, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with emotion.

He raised his glass, toasted Su Mu, and said gratefully: "Brother Su, thank you. Your words warm my heart. Come, let's have a drink for our future destiny and a better life!"

Su Mu also raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Xu Damao. The two smiled at each other and drank the wine in their glasses.

The aroma of wine flows between lips and teeth, as if carrying beautiful expectations for the future.

At the dining table, the aroma of the dishes and the laughter of the two people intertwined together, forming a warm and harmonious picture.

In this small space, they not only enjoyed the feast for their taste buds brought by the delicious food, but also felt the warmth and strength of life in each other's company.

The topic of feelings is like a breeze, blowing gently, leaving a faint trace, but also making their relationship closer and deeper.

The knock on the door sounded again, crisp and urgent, accompanied by Xiaoyue's familiar voice: "Brother Su! It's me, Xiaoyue."

The sound was particularly clear in the quiet night, causing Su Mu to frown slightly.

He turned to look at Xu Damao, only to see that Xu Damao had a playful look on his face and a gossipy gleam in his eyes, as if he had foreseen that a good show was about to take place.

"This voice sounds like Yi Zhonghai's niece Xiaoyue. Brother Su, why does she come to see you so late?" Xu Damao lowered his voice and asked with a bit of curiosity and teasing.

Su Mu sighed softly. Although he felt helpless, he had to face this sudden situation.

He stood up and said to Xu Damao, "Maybe she wants to talk to me about something. You eat first, I'll go open the door."

After saying that, Su Mu walked towards the door, secretly thinking about how to explain to Xiaoyue the existence of Xu Damao and the fact that they were having dinner together at the moment.

After all, the relationship between him and Xiaoyue was already delicate, and the addition of Xu Damao as a "bystander" made him feel a little headache.

As the door opened, Xiaoyue's pretty face came into view, her eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

She seemed relieved to see Su Mu.

But then he noticed the dishes on the dining table in the house and Xu Damao sitting next to him, and a hint of doubt flashed across his face.

"Brother Su, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Xiaoyue's voice was a little nervous, and she seemed to realize that her arrival was a bit abrupt.

Su Mu smiled and shook his head, motioning her to come in: "It's okay, Xiaoyue, just tell me what you want to say. This is Xu Damao, my friend."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue nodded to Xu Damao as a greeting.

Then, she turned to Su Mu, and seemed to muster up her courage before she spoke: "Brother Su, I...I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Su Mu's heart tightened when he heard this, but he remained calm on the surface: "What's the matter? Tell me, as long as I can help."

Xiaoyue stood in front of Sumu, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes flashing with shyness and uneasiness.

She opened her mouth but seemed to have no idea where to start. The words swirled on the tip of her tongue and eventually turned into a stammering whisper.

Seeing this, Su Mu felt even more gentle and understanding in his heart.

He sighed softly, turned his head to look at Xu Damao who was watching this scene with interest, and said with a hint of helplessness but politeness in his tone:

"Da Mao, you see, Xiao Yue seems to be having trouble speaking. Why don't you go back first? After all, she is just a little girl. If you are here, she might feel even more embarrassed."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately smiled knowingly. He stood up, patted Su Mu on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Okay, okay, can't I leave? Brother Su, you have to take good care of Xiaoyue, and don't let me hear any 'scandals' when I come back!" As he spoke, he deliberately lengthened his voice, his eyes full of teasing.

Su Mu shook his head helplessly and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Damao, I know my limits. Let's go quickly, it's not safe on the road at this late hour."

Xu Damao nodded, waved goodbye to Xiaoyue, then turned and left the room.

The door closed gently, and the room became quiet again, with only Sumu and Xiaoyue left.

Xiaoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Xu Damao leave. She looked at Su Mu gratefully and said softly, "Brother Su, thank you. Actually, I... I wanted to ask you about... about us."

At this point, her voice dropped again, and the blush on her cheeks became more obvious.

Su Mu's heart was moved when he heard this. He looked at Xiaoyue gently and encouraged her, "Xiaoyue, don't be afraid. Just say whatever you want to say. No matter what it is, I will listen carefully."

Xiaoyue bit her lower lip, as if she was mustering up more courage. She looked up at Sumu, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anticipation and uneasiness.

"Brother Su, can I...can I tell my aunt and uncle that you and I are together?"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but every word fell clearly into Su Mu's ears.

When Su Mu heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He gently held Xiaoyue's hand, giving her warmth and strength, and then slowly said: "Xiaoyue, it's like this, we really need to consider this matter carefully. Relationships are not just about two people, it also involves our family, friends, and even our future life."

He paused, looking at Xiaoyue with gentle but firm eyes, "I understand that you hope to get the blessing and support of your family, but I also hope that we can give each other some time to make our relationship more mature and stable."

"After all, true love needs to stand the test of time."

As Xiaoyue listened to Sumu's words, the uneasiness in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by deep trust and emotion.

She nodded gently, with a hint of firmness in her voice: "Brother Su, I understand what you mean. I will wait until the relationship between us becomes deeper, and then we will face the blessings of our family together."

Su Mu smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He patted Xiaoyue's shoulder gently and said softly: "Xiaoyue, thank you for your understanding and support. I believe that as long as we treat each other sincerely, no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we can walk through it hand in hand."

In the following time, the atmosphere in the house became unusually warm and ambiguous.

The conversation between the two gradually turned from serious to relaxed. They occasionally smiled at each other, as if they could understand each other's thoughts.

They continued to enjoy their dinner, occasionally chatting, but mostly enjoying this rare peace and company.

As the night deepened, moonlight poured into the house through the window, adding a touch of romance to the couple.

Xiaoyue's face was always filled with a happy smile, and Sumu was silently guarding her, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.
