Siheyuan: Making a fortune every day, breaking the defense of the whole courtyard

The room was dark, with only a weak oil lamp emitting light. Sha Zhu sat alone on the kang, with a dull and unhappy look on his face.

His eyes seemed a little dull, as if he was immersed in his own thoughts.

His feet swayed gently, occasionally hitting the wine bottle beside him.

As he moved, a wine bottle was kicked aside and collided with other wine bottles, making a crisp and loud sound. This sound broke the silence in the room, but did not attract Sha Zhu's attention.

Sha Zhu continued to immerse himself in his own world. He seemed to be in a very heavy mood, making people feel inexplicably depressed.

"Zhu Zi, why are you doing this?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the room filled with smoke and the smell of alcohol.

He just learned from a lady that Liu Yuxi came to the steel mill to look for Zhang Xiao today, and the two of them even agreed to go out together. Sha Zhu raised his head, glanced at Yi Zhonghai, and smiled bitterly, "I don't want this to happen, but I feel bad."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, sat down next to Sha Zhu, and patted his shoulder: "Zhu Zi, I know you like Liu Yuxi, but since she has chosen Zhang Xiao, you should let it go."

"Don't be sad."

Sha Zhu took a gulp of wine and said indignantly, "Why? How am I inferior to Zhang Xiao?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "There is no comparison when it comes to relationships. Perhaps Liu Yuxi and Zhang Xiao have more in common. You, stop torturing yourself and live a good life."

He couldn't say that Sha Zhu was really not as good as Zhang Xiao.

He has achieved such success before he is even 95 years old. If he waits until after the college entrance examination in May or June next year, he will be the only college student in the No. courtyard.

How can Sha Zhu compare?

Yi Zhonghai also had a lonely look on his face at this moment. If he had not isolated Zhang Xiao before, his current situation would not be like this.

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "No, I'm going to find Liu Yuxi and ask for clarification." As he said that, he staggered towards the door.

Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed him and yelled, "Come back!"

"Do you remember our agreement today?"

Sha Zhu stopped and looked back at Yi Zhonghai in a daze, "I remember the uncle, but I don't know how long I have to wait to deal with Zhang Xiao."

"But I can't bear it any longer now."

"Don't worry, I have found an opportunity." Yi Zhonghai comforted earnestly.

"real!?"

"real."

After enjoying a delicious midnight snack, Zhang Xiao and Liu Yuxi set off on their journey home.

The streets at night were quiet and peaceful, and the breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing a cool feeling.

Zhang Xiao was riding a bicycle while Liu Yuxi was sitting quietly on the back seat, hugging his waist tightly with both hands, enjoying this warm moment.

"I'm so happy today!" Liu Yuxi suddenly shouted, her voice full of excitement and joy. Her face was filled with a bright smile and her eyes were shining brightly.

When Zhang Xiao heard her words, the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, revealing a gentle smile. "Just be happy." He said softly, with a doting tone in his voice.

Today they spent a wonderful time together, playing, tasting delicious food, and every moment made them feel extremely happy. At this moment, they were facing the night wind, embarking on the way home, their hearts full of happiness and satisfaction.

When they arrived near the Forbidden City, Liu Yuxi was attracted by the solemnity and mystery of this ancient palace. She jumped off the back seat of the bicycle and ran excitedly to the gate of the Forbidden City, her eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" Liu Yuxi exclaimed, her eyes wandering between the buildings and courtyards of the Forbidden City, as if she had traveled back to ancient times.

Zhang Xiao looked at her excited expression and said with a smile: "Yes, the Forbidden City is a treasure of Chinese history and culture. It has witnessed countless stories and changes."

After listening to Zhang Xiao’s introduction, Liu Yuxi developed a strong interest in the history of the Forbidden City.

She began to observe each building carefully, imagining the people who had lived here and feeling the rich historical heritage.

Zhang Xiao followed Liu Yuxi's footsteps, his voice echoing in the night wind, sounding particularly clear. Liu Yuxi listened attentively, exclaiming in admiration from time to time.

The Forbidden City has a unique charm under the night sky. The bright lights reflect the outlines of the ancient buildings, like a beautiful painting.

Liu Yuxi was immersed in the beautiful scenery and didn't want to leave. Finally, they stopped at a corner of the Forbidden City and quietly admired the night view in front of them.

"Thank you for bringing me here and letting me see such a beautiful scenery." Liu Yuxi said to Zhang Xiao gratefully. Zhang Xiao smiled and replied: "You're welcome, as long as you like it."

The two stood there, gazing silently at the night view of the Forbidden City, their hearts filled with emotion.

Zhang Xiao also entrusted passers-by to help freeze this beautiful moment.

'Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system upgrade task.'

'The system upgrade time is expected to be 23:59:59.'

"Has my mission been accomplished?"

Zhang Xiao, who had just stepped into the gate of the courtyard, was stunned.

I didn't expect that I just went out to play with Liu Yuxi today, and while having fun, I also completed the system upgrade task.

"Zhang Xiao, you just came back?"

The second uncle, Yan Bugui, was wearing a coat and preparing to close the gate of the courtyard.

"Yeah, I went out to play with Liu Yuxi for a while. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle." Zhang Xiao also smiled.

When the second uncle heard what Zhang Xiao said, his face looked quite embarrassed.

The last time he disrupted Sha Zhu's blind date, wasn't it just to let his son Yan Jiecheng snatch Sha Zhu's blind date?

But in the end it was all in vain.

He just saw Zhang Xiao's smile and understood how far their relationship had developed.

"Alas, there is no hope for Yan Jiecheng."

Thinking secretly in my heart.

After inviting Zhang Xiao in, the gate of the courtyard was closed.

Watching Zhang Xiao's back as he entered the room, Yan Bugui looked meaningfully in the direction of Sha Zhu's house in the middle courtyard.

Not only did his son Yan Jiecheng fail, but also Sha Zhu, who was better off than his son, failed.

Today Yi Zhonghai went there to comfort her for a long time, and the rich smell of wine filled the front yard.

"But I don't know what they are planning?"

Yan Bugui always felt that Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu had been planning something. When he passed by in the evening, he heard Sha Zhu's excited shouts.

Although he didn't hear it clearly, he had a feeling that the two men were preparing to deal with Zhang Xiao.

"Are you back?" Lou Xiao'e was attentive. She heated up some water for Zhang Xiao and carefully handed him a clean towel.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lou Xiao'e, if she hadn't forgotten what she had said to Liu Yuxi yesterday.

Why is he like this today?

"Just wait for me..."

"Wash your face."

"I don't want to use a towel."
