Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

So, she began to look for opportunities to get close to him, intentionally or unintentionally. Every night, she would deliberately pass by He Yuzhu's door, hoping to run into him and chat with him. Sometimes, she would make some snacks and give them to him to taste.

He Yuzhu didn't think much about it at first, he just thought Lou Xiao'e was a warm-hearted girl and always accepted her kindness. As time went by, he gradually found that Lou Xiao'e's attention to him seemed to go beyond the scope of ordinary neighbors. One night, Lou Xiao'e brought a bowl of hot red bean porridge, He Yuzhu looked at her smiling face, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

"Xiao E, you are so kind to bring me porridge so late at night." He Yuzhu took the porridge and felt touched.

"Brother Yuzhu, you work very hard. Drinking some hot porridge at night will help you sleep." Lou Xiao'e said softly, her eyes full of concern.

He Yuzhu looked at her and was touched. He had never thought that someone would care about him so much. He suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to respond to this warmth. So he simply said "thank you" and took the porridge back to the room.

However, that night, He Yuzhu lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. He thought of Lou Xiao'e's smile and her kindness, and gradually had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Perhaps, this was not just the concern between neighbors, perhaps, there was something else.

The next day, He Yuzhu got up early and prepared some breakfast. He wanted to take this opportunity to repay Lou Xiao'e's kindness. When he knocked on Lou Xiao'e's door, he saw her surprised look, and his heart was warmed. "Xiao'e, I made some breakfast and brought it to you to try." He said.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the breakfast in front of her, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that He Yuzhu began to respond to her. She took the breakfast and said gratefully: "Brother Yuzhu, thank you, this is really great."

From that day on, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e gradually became closer. Every morning, they would drink tea and chat together in the yard, and take a walk together in the evening to share their daily lives. Other residents in the courtyard also noticed their changes, and everyone silently blessed them.

However, life is not always as one wishes. As they gradually get closer, some misunderstandings and conflicts inevitably occur. Once, He Yuzhu was in a bad mood because of work troubles. As a result, he accidentally said some harsh words when chatting with Lou Xiao'e. Although Lou Xiao'e did not show it on the surface, she felt very aggrieved in her heart.

After returning to her room, she sat on the bed and couldn't help crying. She didn't know why she had tried so hard to get close to He Yuzhu, but ended up with such a result. She began to doubt whether she could really impress him.

The next day, He Yuzhu realized that his words last night were too harsh and he felt very guilty. He thought about how to apologize to Lou Xiaoe, but he didn't know how to start. Finally, he decided to buy a bouquet of flowers and personally deliver it to her door.

"Xiao E, I'm sorry. I was wrong yesterday and spoke too harshly." He Yuzhu apologized sincerely and handed her the flowers.

When Lou Xiao'e saw the flowers in He Yuzhu's hand, the grievance in her heart instantly turned into tears. She took the flowers and choked up and said, "Brother Yuzhu, I'm not angry with you, I'm just... just a little sad."

He Yuzhu felt even more guilty when he heard her words. He stepped forward, gently held her hand, and said, "Xiao'e, I know you treat me very well, and I also cherish the relationship between us. In the future, I will pay attention to my words and deeds and will not make you sad again."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, with a smile in her tears. She knew that He Yuzhu was truly kind to her, and that was enough.

Their relationship became stronger after the incident, and their trust in each other became deeper. Every day, they worked together to understand and tolerate each other. In this small world of the courtyard, their love quietly sprouted and gradually grew.

Days passed quietly in the ordinary, and the feelings between He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e continued to deepen. He Yuzhu gradually realized that his feelings for Lou Xiao'e had surpassed ordinary neighborly feelings, and he began to seriously think about the possibilities of their future. However, he still had some hesitation and uneasiness in his heart, and he was worried about whether he could give Lou Xiao'e a happy future.

One evening, He Yuzhu was repairing a worn-out chair in the yard when Lou Xiao'e came over with a bowl of hot soup in her hands. She smiled and walked over to him and said, "Brother Yuzhu, I made some soup. Drink it while it's hot."

He Yuzhu put down the tools in his hand, took the soup bowl, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiao'e, you always care about me so much."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, "Brother Yuzhu, you are always so nice to me, there is no need to be polite between us."

He Yuzhu looked at her and felt warm in his heart. He knew how lucky he was to meet such a kind girl. However, he also knew that life was not always so simple and he had to face reality and take responsibility.

At this time, He Daqing came over. He Daqing was a friend of He Yuzhu and a respected elder in the courtyard. He saw the intimacy between the two and understood something. He walked up to them and said with a smile, "Xiao'e, Yuzhu, what are you still busy with so late at night?"

He Yuzhu quickly stood up and greeted, "Uncle Daqing, why are you here?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by and saw you guys here, so I came over to take a look. By the way, Yuzhu, are you free? I have something I want to talk to you about."

He Yuzhu nodded and said to Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, you go back first. I want to talk to Uncle Daqing."

Lou Xiao'e nodded. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that He Daqing's words must be very important. "Okay, Brother Yuzhu, I'll go back first."

After watching Lou Xiao'e leave, He Yuzhu turned to He Daqing and said, "Uncle Daqing, what can I do for you?"

He Daqing looked around and motioned He Yuzhu to follow him to a quiet corner. He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Yuzhu, I can see that Xiao'e has a good impression of you, and you also have feelings for her. As an elder, I think I still have something to say to you."

He Yuzhu nodded and listened carefully.

He Daqing continued, "Matters of love cannot be solved with passion alone. Xiao'e is a good girl, you have to cherish her. But at the same time, you have to think clearly whether you can give her a stable life."
