Chapter 469: Sha Zhu's Fantasy
Sha Zhu returned to his room disappointed, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, and suddenly collapsed on the bed. He closed his eyes, and the scene of Qin Huairu rejecting him kept replaying in his mind, and his heart was stabbed with pain.
"Qin Huairu, why can't you give me a chance?" Sha Zhu murmured to himself, with endless bitterness in his voice.
He knew that Qin Huairu's heart had been firmly occupied by Jia Dongxu, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain. However, he was unwilling to accept that his efforts over the years would end up like this.
Sha Zhu lay in bed for a long time. Until it gradually darkened, he slowly got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
At this time, on the other side of the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e was standing in front of the window, looking into the distance with deep eyes. Her heart was full of gratitude and relief. If Zhang Jianjun had not appeared in time to help the Lou family solve the big problem, I am afraid that the Lou family would have fallen into an irreparable situation.
Thinking of this, Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on her face. She turned her head and looked inside the house, secretly deciding in her heart that she would go find Zhang Jianjun and thank him in person.
As the night deepened, the courtyard was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility.
Lou Xiao'e changed into clean clothes and walked out of the room. She walked through the yard very lightly, fearing to disturb the neighbors who were resting.
Arriving at Zhang Jianjun's door, Lou Xiao'e knocked gently. After waiting for a while, Zhang Jianjun's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lou Xiao'e." Lou Xiao'e answered softly.
The door was quickly opened, and Zhang Jianjun was slightly startled when he saw Lou Xiao'e standing outside the door: "Xiao'e, why are you here?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhang Jianjun with gratitude in her eyes: "Jianjun, thank you. If it weren't for you, our Lou family would really be finished this time."
Zhang Jianjun smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Xiao'e, you are too polite. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other."
Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said seriously: "No, Jianjun, this favor is too great, I must come here in person to express my gratitude to you."
As she spoke, she took out a delicate little box from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Jianjun: "This is a snack I made by myself. I hope you like it."
Zhang Jianjun took the small box, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that this snack was not only a gift, but also a token of Lou Xiaoe's love for him.
"Thank you, Xiao'e, I like it very much." Zhang Jianjun said sincerely.
The two stood at the door and chatted for a while, and Lou Xiaoe suddenly said, "Jianjun, can you walk with me? I want to talk to you."
Zhang Jianjun readily agreed, and the two walked out of the room side by side and strolled along the path in the courtyard.
In the night, everything in the courtyard became hazy and mysterious. Lou Xiaoe and Zhang Jianjun walked and talked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Jianjun, you are such a good person." Lou Xiao'e said suddenly.
Zhang Jianjun was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Xiao'e, don't praise me like that, I'll be embarrassed."
Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhang Jianjun with a strange light in her eyes: "Jianjun, do you know? I always felt very lucky to be born in such a family and have so many relatives. However, after experiencing such things, I realized that the real luck is to meet someone like you."
Zhang Jianjun was a little embarrassed by Lou Xiaoe's words. He scratched his head and said, "Xiaoe, don't say that. I didn't do anything."
Lou Xiao'e stopped and looked at Zhang Jianjun seriously: "Jianjun, don't underestimate yourself. You have helped our Lou family a lot this time, and this is an indisputable fact. Moreover, you are usually very good to the neighbors, and everyone can see it. You are a person who can be trusted and relied on."
Zhang Jianjun was somewhat moved by what Lou Xiaoe said. A warm feeling surged in his heart, as if he had found a soulmate.
The two continued to move forward, and their figures gradually disappeared into the night.
At the same time, in Shazhu's room, he sat alone at the table with a simple meal in front of him. However, he didn't eat a single bite, but just stared out the window blankly.
"Qin Huairu, am I really wrong?" Sha Zhu murmured to himself, with endless confusion and pain in his voice.
He knew that he had always had fantasies about Qin Huairu, but reality hit him again and again. He began to doubt whether he was really wrong and whether he should give up this unrealistic fantasy.
Just when Sha Zhu was lost in thought, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
Standing outside the door was Qin Huairu, holding a basket filled with food.
Seeing Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. He was happy that Qin Huairu came to see him, but he was also afraid that she would reject him again.
"Qin Huairu, why are you here?" Sha Zhu's voice trembled a little.
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "Sha Zhu, I came to bring you some food. You haven't eaten for a whole day, it's not good for your health."
Sha Zhu looked at the basket in Qin Huairu's hand, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that this was Qin Huairu caring about him, which made him feel very relieved.
"Thank you, Qin Huairu." Sha Zhu took the basket, his voice choked with sobs.
Qin Huairu walked into the house, put the basket on the table, and then sat down opposite Sha Zhu.
The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. After a while, Qin Huairu finally spoke to break the silence: "Shazhu, I know you feel bad, but you can't force feelings. I hope you can let go of the past and start over."
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of pain and unwillingness: "Qin Huairu, I really can't let go. For so many years, I have been waiting for you, but you never see me."
Qin Huairu lowered her head, her voice choking: "Shazhu, I'm sorry. I know I owe you a lot, but love can't be forced. I hope you can find happiness that truly belongs to you."
Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "Happiness? I'm afraid I'll never find it in my lifetime."
Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, don't say that. Life is long and you still have many opportunities. As long as you are willing to let go of the past and start over, you will definitely find your happiness."
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart. He knew that Qin Huairu was trying to persuade him, hoping that he could get out of the shadow of the past and start a new life.
"Thank you, Qin Huairu." Sha Zhu's voice was a little choked up, "I will try to let go of the past."
Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu, with a hint of relief in her eyes. She knew that Sha Zhu was a good man and he deserved a better future.
The two chatted for a while, and then Qin Huairu stood up to say goodbye. Sha Zhu saw her to the door, and as he watched her gradually disappear into the distance, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
