Siheyuan: A young man starts a game and ignores the law

"It's okay, but I'm a little tired." Qin Jingru replied with a smile, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

"Do you want me to give you a massage? I remember you said that you often suffer from shoulder and neck pain." Su Ming asked with concern.

"Really? That's great. My shoulders have been a little sore lately." Qin Jingru said happily.

Su Ming took out a bottle of massage oil and gently massaged Qin Jingru's shoulders and neck with moderate force, gentle and meticulous.

"Brother Ming, your massage technique is really great. I feel much better." Qin Jingru closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort brought by the massage.

When Su Ming heard her praise, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and pride. He felt that being able to do something insignificant for Jing Ru was a kind of care and love for her.

After the massage, the two chatted on the sofa together, talking about each other's life and work. The topics between them were relaxed and happy, without any restraint, just like a pair of old friends.

In the winter sun, the atmosphere of the courtyard seems particularly warm. Su Ming sat in the study, packing his luggage while thinking about his upcoming trip. He decided to return to Beijing for the New Year this year to reunite with his family and feel the New Year atmosphere of his hometown.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw that it was Yan Jiedi. He smiled and opened the door to let her in.

"Didi, you are here. Is there anything wrong?" Su Ming asked curiously.

Yan Jie Di walked into the study and said in a serious tone, "Brother Ming, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me about it." Su Ming asked with concern.

Yan Jiedi sat on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Dad knows that you are going back to Beijing for the New Year, but he is worried that you will have an accident in Beijing, so he wants to stop you from going."

Su Ming was moved when he heard this, but he still kept a calm expression and asked, "What is he worried about?"

"He is worried about the complicated environment in Beijing and afraid that you would get into trouble if you were alone outside," Yan Jiedi explained.

Su Ming was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "I understand Dad's concerns, but I have decided to return to Beijing for the New Year. I will pay attention to safety and will not put myself in a dangerous situation."

Yan Jie Di looked at Su Ming's determined eyes and sighed in her heart. She knew that Su Ming was a man with his own firm beliefs and would not easily change his decision.

"I know you have your own ideas, but Dad is really worried about you. I can try to communicate with him and make him understand your thoughts." Yan Jiedi suggested.

Su Ming nodded in agreement. He knew that Yan Jie Di had a special relationship with her father, and her intervention might play a certain role.

Yan Jie Di left the study and went to find her father Jia Shifa. She explained Su Ming's thoughts and decisions to him, hoping that he could understand and support her.

After listening to his daughter's words, Jia Shifa pondered for a while, and finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with Su Ming's decision. He knew that there was a special relationship between Yan Jie Di and Su Ming, and he was unwilling to hinder their communication and mutual understanding.

Back in the study, Yan Jie Di reported the results to Su Ming. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He looked at Yan Jie Di gratefully and said, "Thank you, Di Di. I will try my best to protect myself and live up to Dad's trust."

Yan Jie Di smiled and shook her head, saying: "This is what I should do. Don't worry, I will always support you."

On a cold winter night, the courtyard was brightly lit, making the whole courtyard bright and warm. Su Ming sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking quietly. He understood his role in this family. He was a shield, a person who could be relied on, but also a lonely bystander.

Yan Jiedi and Jia Dongxu sat on the sofa opposite each other, exuding an intimate and warm atmosphere between them. They leaned against each other, talking in low voices, with smiles on their faces.

Su Ming felt sad. He understood the gap between himself and them. They had common ideals and goals, but he was just an outsider.

"Brother Ming, why don't you go and have a rest?" Yan Jie Di looked at Su Ming with concern, worried that he was too depressed.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy. You guys continue chatting, I won't disturb you." Su Ming forced a smile, trying to hide his inner loneliness.

"Brother Ming, why do you say that again? You are our good friend, there is no difference between us." Jia Dongxu consoled, hoping to cheer Su Ming up.

After Su Ming heard this, he was secretly grateful in his heart, but he knew that the relationship between them was not simple and he could not ignore the intimacy between them.

As the night went on, the three of them gradually felt a little tired. Yan Jiedi and Jia Dongxu decided to go back to their rooms to rest, leaving Su Ming alone in the living room.

After they left, Su Ming stood up, walked to the window, looked at the starry sky outside, his heart full of thoughts.

In this quiet night, he realized the distance between him and them, and also realized his loneliness. He didn't know how to face it all, he could only silently bear this loneliness and helplessness.

The next day, when the sun shone over the courtyard, Su Ming still greeted them with a smile. He chose to remain silent and hide his loneliness deep in his heart. He didn't want to make them worry, nor did he want them to worry about his troubles.

Yan Jiedi and Jia Dongxu looked at Su Ming with gratitude and respect in their hearts. They knew that Su Ming was a man with a strong heart. Although he was lonely, he would not complain to anyone. He chose to bear everything silently.

In the following days, they continued to live a simple and happy life. Although Su Ming had endless loneliness and helplessness in his heart, he still chose to smile, chose to be strong, and chose to spend every beautiful moment with them.

On a quiet afternoon, the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed particularly relaxed and pleasant. Su Ming and Yan Jiedi sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and chatting.

"Brother Ming, what do you think of this tea? I have recently learned some new tea-making techniques." Yan Jiedi asked with a smile, a hint of pride in her eyes.

Su Ming took the teacup, took a sip, smiled slightly, and praised: "It tastes very good, with a refreshing fragrance and a strong tea flavor. You are indeed good at making tea."

After hearing this, Yan Jie Di smiled with satisfaction. She liked to see Su Ming's praise because it was an affirmation of her efforts.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Ming. I have been studying hard recently and want to improve my abilities in all aspects." Yan Jiedi said frankly.
