Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

"Actually, I know you may have some thoughts about tonight's blind date. We can find a place to sit down and talk." He Daqing said gently. He hoped to ease his brother's doubts through communication, and also hoped that he could give more support.

The two of them sat down on a bench in the courtyard. The flowers and plants around them looked soft and peaceful in the night. He Daqing looked at his brother and felt a little distressed in his heart. He knew that he had been too rough and even a little selfish when dealing with family issues. Especially about the "White Widow", that past caused a lot of harm to He Yuzhu, and he also had a regret deep in his heart that he had never made up for.

"Yuzhu, I never had a chance to talk to you about that past." He Daqing's voice was a little heavy. "I know you suffered a lot during that time. Maybe I didn't handle it properly at the time."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting his brother to bring up this topic. He sighed slightly, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes: "Brother, those things are in the past. I don't want to think about them anymore."

"I know," He Daqing's tone became softer, "but I really regret not being able to protect you at that time. I think that in this blind date, I will try my best to help you find a good partner, and I also hope that you can truly feel some happiness."

He Yuzhu looked at his brother, and some emotions in his heart seemed to be touched. He knew that his brother had always taken good care of him, but this kind of care and protection sometimes made him feel depressed. He wanted to say something, but found that his voice was spinning in his throat.

"Brother, actually I..." He Yuzhu finally said, "I know you treat me very well, but... sometimes, I also hope to face some problems by myself."

He Daqing felt distressed when he heard this. He knew that he was too strong in many cases and wanted to solve his brother's problems in his own way, but he ignored his brother's independence and autonomy. He nodded gently, with a hint of apology and understanding in his eyes.

"I understand how you feel," He Daqing said softly, "I will try my best to respect your choice and give you more space."

As the night deepened, the quiet atmosphere in the courtyard was broken by the occasional chirping of insects. He Daqing and He Yuzhu sat on the bench. Although they had said a lot in their hearts, there were still more problems waiting to be solved in reality. Although their conversation brought a glimmer of warmth to tonight's blind date, the haze in their hearts had not completely dissipated.

"Brother, today's dinner is really great. You have done a lot for me, and I am really grateful." He Yuzhu broke the silence with a hint of tenderness and gratitude in his eyes.

"It's nothing. This is what I should do." He Daqing's voice was a little low. The contradictions and burdens in his heart made it difficult for him to really relax. "But if there is anything wrong, you must tell me. After all, this is not only your business, but also ours."

At this time, there was a slight noise outside the yard. He Daqing knew that it was their relatives and friends waiting, and seemed to have some discussions about the arrangements for the evening. Although their voices were not loud, as the eldest son of the family, he could naturally feel the potential pressure and accusations.

"Brother, I feel like you've been under a lot of pressure lately." He Yuzhu noticed his brother's mood changes and tried to comfort him, "Don't make yourself too tired. I will try my best to deal with the things at home."

He Daqing forced a smile, "It's okay, I just hope to do better for you." He stood up and straightened his clothes, "Let's go see the feedback from relatives and friends."

They walked to the lobby of the courtyard, where some relatives and friends had gathered. Under the lights, everyone had different expressions on their faces, some expectant and some doubtful. Seeing He Daqing and He Yuzhu coming over, several people took the initiative to step forward, looking a little anxious.

"He Daqing, what are your plans for tonight?" one of the older relatives asked directly, with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

He Daqing felt a sense of oppression. He knew that this was not just a question about him personally, but also a concern for the entire family. He managed to remain calm and replied, "I have heard everyone's opinions. There are still many areas that can be improved in tonight's arrangements. I will try my best to do my best."

"Improvement? Do you think there is something wrong with tonight's arrangements?" another relative asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

He Daqing felt confused and anxious, and he began to reflect on whether his arrangement was really lacking. He carefully recalled the entire dinner process to see if there were any shortcomings. He realized that he paid too much attention to his brother's feelings and ignored the opinions and expectations of others.

"Maybe... I did overlook some details." He Daqing whispered, with an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart, "I just wanted to give Yu Zhu a good start, but I didn't expect..."

"It's okay. Everyone knows you're sincere." Seeing that He Daqing's expression was shaken, relatives and friends comforted him, "However, we still need more communication and understanding. I hope you can consider opinions from all sides in the future."

He Daqing nodded, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew his starting point was good, but the result might not be as expected. He began to doubt whether he had really handled all the details well and whether he had really considered everyone's feelings.

"Brother, is there something wrong with you?" He Yuzhu noticed his brother's uneasiness and asked softly.

"It's okay, I just feel like I may not have done well enough." He Daqing took a deep breath and tried his best to hide his inner uneasiness. "I will improve, and I hope everyone can understand."

Back in the corner of the yard, He Daqing sat down quietly, with all kinds of emotions surging in his heart. His self-blame and regret made it difficult for him to calm down. He realized that although he had done a lot for his brother, he ignored the expectations and feelings of others. He knew that his efforts and hard work must be in line with everyone's expectations in order to truly achieve the desired results.

"Did I really not do well enough?" He Daqing said to himself, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. His heart was full of doubts about his ability to handle things and uncertainty about the future.

Seeing his brother like this, He Yuzhu also felt a little worried. He knew that his brother's sense of responsibility and dedication were understandable, but this inner struggle and self-doubt made him feel even more helpless.
