Chapter 318 About to leave

Despite this, Li Xiangqian still decided to give Lou Xiao'e an unforgettable farewell in his own way. He planned silently in his heart that he wanted to do something special before she left, so that she would remember this courtyard and everything here.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian invited Lou Xiao'e to his home for dinner. He carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner with all the dishes that Lou Xiao'e liked. During dinner, they talked a lot, from past memories to future plans, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. Li Xiangqian looked at Lou Xiao'e's happy smile, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that this might be the last time they could chat together so easily.

After dinner, Li Xiangqian brought Lou Xiao'e to the yard and lit up the small lanterns hanging on the corn stalks. The lanterns emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire yard like a dream. "Xiao'e, I prepared these lanterns especially for you. I hope you can remember this night and this courtyard." Li Xiangqian whispered.

It was late at night, and the light of the lanterns was still flickering in the courtyard, illuminating the faces of Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e. Li Xiangqian watched Lou Xiao'e return to the opposite house. He stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking at the night sky, with mixed feelings in his heart. The moon was high in the sky, the stars were shining, but his heart was like a turbulent sea, and it was difficult to calm down.

Li Xiangqian returned to the room, sat at the desk, and looked at the books on the desk, feeling lost. He knew that Lou Xiao'e was about to leave, but he had not taken any substantial action. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and decided to think carefully about what he could do for her so that she would not feel so lonely when she left.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian walked out of the house and started to get busy. He first went to the market to buy some wood and tools to make a small gift for Lou Xiao'e. He knew that Lou Xiao'e liked handicrafts, especially those small items full of creativity and thoughtfulness. So he decided to make a delicate little box for her to keep her design drawings and inspiration.

Li Xiangqian worked in the fields during the day and started making the small box when he returned home at night. He carved it carefully, and every cut was filled with emotion for Lou Xiao'e. As time went by, the prototype of the small box gradually emerged, and Li Xiangqian felt full of a sense of accomplishment. He knew that this small box was not only a gift from him to Lou Xiao'e, but also a token of his love for her.

One night, Lou Xiao'e was busy packing her luggage in the yard. Li Xiangqian looked at her busy figure and felt a little reluctant. He walked over and asked softly, "Xiao'e, do you need help?" Lou Xiao'e raised her head and smiled, "Thank you, Brother Li, I can do it myself." Her smile was still bright, but Li Xiangqian could see a trace of fatigue in her eyes.

Li Xiangqian nodded, hesitated for a moment, took out the small box from his pocket, and handed it to Lou Xiao'e: "I made this especially for you, I hope you like it." Lou Xiao'e took the box in surprise and looked at it carefully. It was engraved with exquisite patterns and looked particularly elegant. She opened the box and found soft velvet inside, and a small note that read: "May your dreams always shine, and may your future be full of hope."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were moist. She raised her head, looked at Li Xiangqian, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Li. This is so beautiful. I will cherish it." Li Xiangqian smiled slightly, his heart full of warmth: "As long as you like it. I hope it can accompany you and bring you good luck."

In the following days, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e spent many wonderful times in the yard. They cooked together, chatted together, and recalled the past. Every moment was full of warmth and happiness, but there was always a heavy shadow in Li Xiangqian's heart, that is, the upcoming separation.

Li Xiangqian decided to give Lou Xiao'e an unforgettable farewell the day before she left. He spent the whole day preparing a sumptuous dinner and specially arranged some flowers and lanterns in the yard. He hoped that this night would become the most beautiful part of Lou Xiao'e's memory, so that she could remember this courtyard and every moment here no matter where she was.

In the evening, Li Xiangqian invited Lou Xiao'e to the yard. As soon as she entered the yard, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. The yard was brightly lit, the flowers were fragrant, and the table was full of her favorite dishes. She turned her head and looked at Li Xiangqian, her eyes full of emotion: "Brother Li, you are so thoughtful."

Li Xiangqian smiled and nodded: "Today is your last night here. I hope to give you an unforgettable memory." Lou Xiaoe walked to the table, gently took Li Xiangqian's hand, and said gratefully: "Brother Li, thank you. I am really happy to have your company during this time."

They sat down and began to enjoy this special dinner. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e chatted while eating, recalling the past and imagining the future. Li Xiangqian looked into Lou Xiao'e's bright eyes, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that the beauty of this moment was short-lived, but he still hoped to catch it and treasure it forever in his heart.

It was late at night, and the light of the lanterns was still flickering in the courtyard. Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e sat on a stone bench in the yard, looking at the stars in the night sky, feeling reluctant to leave. Li Xiangqian took a deep breath and whispered, "Xiao'e, no matter where you go, I will be here, silently blessing you. I hope you can realize your dream and live a happy life."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, tears in her eyes: "Brother Li, thank you. I will work hard and live up to your expectations." She gently held Li Xiangqian's hand, feeling the warmth in his palm, her heart filled with gratitude and reluctance.

Li Xiangqian lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He knew that tomorrow would be the day when Lou Xiao'e would leave, and the reluctance and loss in his heart weighed on his heart like a heavy stone. He kept recalling every moment they had spent together, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions. He knew that he had to face reality, but it was difficult for him to let go of his concern for her.

Li Xiangqian got up before dawn. He walked into the yard and looked at the corn fields that had been harvested. He felt a strange emotion in his heart. He decided that since Lou Xiao'e was about to leave, he should also make some preparations for the future of himself and the courtyard. So he began to stockpile food and make plans for the future.

Li Xiangqian spent the whole day at the market buying a large amount of food and daily necessities. He bought rice, noodles, oil, and some preserved foods and dried goods. He knew that these things could be stored for a long time and would allow him to worry less about the trivialities of life in the future.
