Chapter 259: Ordinary Breath

Professor Lou nodded and said calmly, "Xiang Qian, you're here. Is your work going well recently?"

"It's going well. Thank you for your concern." Li Xiangqian replied. He knew that he had to win Professor Lou's approval before he could truly be with Lou Xiao'e.

"Xiang Qian, I have always admired your hard work and ambition." Professor Lou sat down and looked at Li Xiang Qian seriously, "But you also know that I am a little worried about your relationship."

Li Xiangqian's heart tightened. He understood Professor Lou's concerns, so he said sincerely: "Professor Lou, I understand your worries. Xiao'e is an excellent woman and she deserves the best. I will do my best to make her happy, and I hope you can give me a chance to prove that I can do it."

Professor Lou was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I hope you can do what you say."

When leaving Lou Xiao'e's house, Li Xiangqian was full of determination. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as Lou Xiao'e was by his side, he was not afraid of anything. He wanted to use his efforts and sincerity to impress Professor Lou and win the final victory in this relationship.

A few days later, the factory received a new large project and needed to select a person in charge of technological innovation. Li Xiangqian felt that this was a great opportunity and decided to volunteer. He found the factory leader and expressed his willingness and determination.

"Li Xiangqian, this project is very important and is related to the future development of our factory. Are you confident that you can complete it?" the leader asked.

Li Xiangqian looked determined: "I am confident. I will do my best to complete this project and bring new breakthroughs to the factory."

The leader nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then this task is handed over to you. I hope you won't let us down."

Li Xiangqian began to devote himself to the project. He went out early and came back late every day, constantly researching technical solutions and working overtime with the team. He could always be seen busy in the factory workshop. His efforts and contributions gradually gained recognition and support from his colleagues.

One month later, the project was successfully completed, the factory's production efficiency was greatly improved, and the technological innovation was a huge success. Li Xiangqian was commended by the factory leaders and won the respect of more people.

After returning home, Li Xiangqian felt unprecedented satisfaction and pride. He knew that this was not only a recognition of his own efforts, but also a testament to Professor Lou. Now, he is more confident in facing future challenges.

In the following days, the relationship between Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e became deeper and deeper. The two spent a lot of good times together, and their tacit understanding with each other became higher and higher. Every time he encountered difficulties, Li Xiangqian could always get endless support and encouragement from Lou Xiao'e.

One day, Li Xiangqian brought Lou Xiao'e to a small restaurant. They sat by the window and ordered a few home-cooked dishes. The sunlight from the window shone on the table, making it warm and comfortable.

"Xiao E, I have something to discuss with you." Li Xiangqian said with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a smile: "What's the matter?"

"I plan to buy a new house closer to the factory so that we can live more conveniently in the future," said Li Xiangqian, his tone full of longing for the future.

Lou Xiao'e was surprised when she heard this: "Really? That's great! We can decorate our new home together."

"Yes, I have already found a house and I can go sign the contract tomorrow." Li Xiangqian replied, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that he was slowly realizing his long-cherished dream - to have a home of their own with Lou Xiaoe.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e moved into their new home. Although the new house is not big, it is warm and comfortable, full of the breath of life. Every corner is condensed with their hard work and love.

Life gradually returned to normal, and Li Xiangqian's work in the factory was getting smoother and smoother. His leaders valued him very much, and his colleagues also admired him very much. Lou Xiao'e also achieved a lot in teaching at school, and the students liked her very much.

However, the peaceful life is always broken by some accidents. One day, Li Xiangqian received an urgent call in the factory: "Li Xiangqian, something happened at home, come back quickly!"

Li Xiangqian was shocked and immediately put down his work and rushed home. When he got home, he saw Lou Xiao'e sitting on the sofa, her face pale and her eyes full of tears.

"Xiao E, what's wrong?" Li Xiangqian asked anxiously, his heart full of worry.

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and choked up: "Xiang Qian, my father is sick, and the doctor said the situation is very serious."

Li Xiangqian was shocked when he heard this. He knew that Professor Lou was the closest person to Lou Xiao'e, and she must be very sad. So he went forward and hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly: "Xiao'e, don't worry, I will be with you, and we will go to visit your father together."

The next day, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e rushed to the hospital and saw Professor Lou lying on the bed. They felt sad. Although Professor Lou was seriously ill, he managed to smile when he saw them.

"Xiang Qian, Xiao'e, thank you for coming to see me." Professor Lou said weakly.

"Dad, you must get better, we all need you." Lou Xiao'e held her father's hand, tears streaming down her face.

Li Xiangqian also held Professor Lou's hand tightly and said firmly: "Professor Lou, you must be strong. We will always be with you."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e took care of Professor Lou in the hospital every day. They tried their best and worked tirelessly, hoping to use their love and care to help Professor Lou recover soon.

After a period of treatment, Professor Lou's condition finally improved. The doctor told them that although the situation was still serious, as long as they persisted in treatment, there was still hope of recovery.

The days when Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e took care of Professor Lou in the hospital were peaceful and warm. However, just when everything was getting better, Li Xiangqian's sister Li Xiaoling suddenly came to their new home, bringing an unusual atmosphere.

Li Xiaoling is Li Xiangqian's sister, five years younger than him. She has a lively personality, sweet mouth, and is very fond of her grandmother. However, in recent years, Li Xiaoling has been studying in other places. After graduation, she did not return home, but went to work in other cities. Suddenly, her appearance surprised Li Xiangqian.

"Brother, I'm back!" Li Xiaoling pushed open the door and walked in with a smile when she saw Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiaoe preparing dinner.

Li Xiangqian put down the kitchen knife in his hand and asked in surprise: "Xiaoling, why did you come back suddenly?"
