Chapter 240 Feeling a Warmth

Li Xiangqian was relieved after hearing this. He knew that He Yuzhu's willingness to try was a big step forward. So he decided to find a chance to talk to the girl next door.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian found the girl, Xiaohong, who was gentle and virtuous, and had been helping her parents with manual work at home. Li Xiangqian told Xiaohong everything about He Yuzhu and asked her if she was willing to meet him.

After hearing this, Xiao Hong blushed and whispered, "Brother Li, I would like to meet Brother He. You are right, Brother He is a good man, and I want to get to know him."

After hearing this, Li Xiangqian felt relieved. He arranged a suitable time for He Yuzhu and Xiaohong to meet. That day, a small table was set up in the courtyard of the quadrangle. Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu prepared some simple meals to create a warm atmosphere for the two.

When He Yuzhu and Xiaohong first met, the atmosphere was a little reserved, but as time went on, the two gradually started chatting. He Yuzhu talked about his experiences when he was young, and Xiaohong talked about some trivial things in her life. The two found that they had many common topics, and gradually, laughter echoed in the courtyard.

Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu watched from the side, their hearts filled with relief. Li Xiangqian said softly to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, you see, Brother He and Xiaohong are really a match made in heaven."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Yes, they seem to be a good match. I hope they can have a good result."

A few days later, He Yuzhu said to Li Xiangqian: "Xiangqian, I had a good talk with Xiaohong. She is a very kind girl. Thank you."

Li Xiangqian patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother He, this is the happiness you deserve. You two should get along well. If you need anything, just tell me."

He Yuzhu nodded, his eyes full of gratitude. He knew that Li Xiangqian was really doing this for his own good, and he secretly made up his mind to cherish this fate.

In the following days, He Yuzhu and Xiaohong began to meet frequently and their relationship became closer and closer. Li Xiangqian was very pleased to see all this. He knew that He Yuzhu had finally found his own happiness, and he and Qin Huairu were also continuing to work hard for their future.

As the barber shop business gradually got back on track, Li Xiangqian should have felt relieved and satisfied, but he was becoming more and more anxious and uneasy. Some trivial things that happened recently made him feel inexplicably irritated and his emotions became abnormally unstable. He knew that he could not bring this emotion into work and life, but he could not control the irritability in his heart.

One night, Li Xiangqian was sitting in the backyard of the barbershop, staring at the starry sky. Qin Huairu saw that he was unhappy, so she came over and asked softly, "Xiangqian, what's wrong with you lately? You always seem to be worried."

Li Xiangqian sighed, held Qin Huairu's hand, and whispered, "Huairu, I don't know why, but I always feel depressed recently. Business is good, and you and Xiaohua are doing well, but I just can't calm down."

Qin Huairu gently stroked his hand and said softly: "Xiang Qian, maybe you are too tired. You have been busy with the store's affairs during this period and have not had much rest. How about we find some time to go out and relax?"

Li Xiangqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Huai Ru, it's not that simple. I always feel that I am a little overwhelmed, as if there are always some things waiting for me to solve, but I don't know what they are."

Qin Huairu looked at him, her heart full of heartache and worry. She knew that Li Xiangqian was a very responsible person, always carrying everything on his shoulders, but rarely thinking about himself. She decided to help him find the root of the problem and calm him down.

The next day, Qin Huairu went to find He Yuzhu and told him about Li Xiangqian's situation. He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Xiangqian has always been a responsible person. The store has been doing well recently, so he may be under too much pressure."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then said, "Huai Ru, I think Xiang Qian needs a way to vent his emotions. He usually suppresses himself too much and has no place to vent his stress."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Brother He, you are right. We have to help him find a way to relieve stress."

That night, Qin Huairu and Li Xiangqian sat together, and she said gently: "Xiangqian, Brother He also thinks you are under too much pressure. We discussed it and felt that you need to find a way to vent your emotions. How about we do some exercise or find some other activities?"

Li Xiangqian was touched after hearing this. He knew that Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu were doing this for his own good, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go to the park for a run tomorrow."

The next morning, Li Xiangqian and Qin Huairu went to a nearby park together. They jogged under the green shade, and Li Xiangqian felt a long-lost sense of relaxation. After running for a while, he stopped, took a deep breath, and felt that the stuffiness in his chest was finally relieved.

"Huai Ru, you're right, I really need to relax." Li Xiangqian said, panting.

Qin Huairu looked at him with a smile: "Xiang Qian, you work so hard every day, you should also pay attention to your body and mood. We can come here to run regularly, so that you can relax a little."

Li Xiangqian nodded, feeling warm in his heart. He knew that he was not alone, he had friends and family like Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu around him, they always cared about him and supported him.

After returning to the barber shop, Li Xiangqian began to adjust his work and life rhythm. He took some time out every day to run or walk, and gradually his mood began to stabilize. He also began to notice the impact of his mood on his work and life, and began to learn to better manage his emotions.

However, the challenges in life have not diminished. One day, a regular customer came to the shop because he was not satisfied with the haircut. This made Li Xiangqian feel angry and helpless. He knew that he had tried his best, but still could not meet everyone's expectations.

That night, Li Xiangqian returned home in a very depressed mood. He said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, sometimes I really feel very tired. I have tried my best, but there are always people who are not satisfied."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu hugged him gently and said softly: "Xiang Qian, you have done a good job. You can't let other people's dissatisfaction affect your mood. Everyone has their own standards and requirements, and you can't let yourself bear all the responsibilities."
