In this quiet courtyard, Meng Haowen, two brothers, and Lu He stood quietly, as if surrounded by invisible silence.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on their faces, making their expressions look a little hazy.
Their eyes were focused on the center of the yard, as if looking for an answer or waiting for a signal.
Meng Haowen's hands were clasped behind his back, with a thoughtful expression on his face. His eyes were deep and bright, like twinkling stars in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth had a stubborn arc, as if he was facing difficulties and difficulties. The determination to never back down from any challenge.
Lu He stood beside him, her figure as slender as a willow tree in spring.
Her long hair shone golden in the sun, and her eyes stared ahead, like the brightness of the sky reflected on the lake.
Her lips were slightly open, as if she was waiting for something, or thinking about some profound question.
Meng Haowu stood opposite them, looking at the two people in front of him, countless doubts flashed in his heart.
For a moment, there was complete silence in the courtyard.
There was only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves and the singing of birds in the distance.
The three people stood, their eyes meeting together, as if they were communicating some deep emotions and thoughts silently.
In the antique courtyard, Meng Haowen walked lightly towards Meng Haowu, with a trace of imperceptible worry in his eyes.
He spoke softly: "Haowu, let me take a step to talk and discuss something."
Meng Haowu was a tall man. When he heard Meng Haowen's words, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He smiled and said to Meng Haowen: "Okay, please come with me."
The two walked into a secluded corner. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, with towering old trees and blooming flowers.
They stopped, facing the pond and rockery, with their backs against the winding corridor.
The atmosphere here was quiet and peaceful, in stark contrast to their mood at the moment.
Meng Haowen took a deep breath and whispered: "Haowu, what I want to tell you is, can you stop always embarrassing Lu He?"
Meng Haowu frowned with a serious expression: "What do you mean by embarrassment? Big brother? Are you really going to hurt our brotherhood just because of such a woman?"
Meng Haowen hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "No, listen to me, as the eldest brother, I believe I have never done anything to hurt you. This time, even if the eldest brother asks you to please me, what do you think? OK?"
Meng Haowu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned to look at Meng Haowen and said firmly: "Brother, some things cannot be compared, do you understand?"
Meng Haowen nodded: "I understand what you mean, but this matter is really..."
Meng Haowu, tall and tall, with blazing eyes, stared at Meng Haowen closely.
There was no expression on his face, as if it were a cold stone sculpture, making it impossible for anyone to peek into his inner thoughts.
Meng Haowen felt a little uncomfortable facing Meng Haowu's gaze, but he did not dare to show it easily.
The two stood aside, and Meng Haowen broke the silence, his voice trembling a little, "I... I still want to talk to you."
Meng Haowu said nothing, and just continued to stare at him, as if waiting for the next step.
His eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing into Meng Haowen's heart silently.
Meng Haowen took a deep breath, "Yes... I can't help you, I know. His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was under tremendous pressure inside."
However, Meng Haowu still did not respond.
His silence was like invisible pressure, making Meng Haowen more and more uneasy.
However, he still had the courage to continue talking, "I didn't tell you this matter in advance, but I hope you don't mind what I did."
Hearing this, the corners of Meng Haowu's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but couldn't.
His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including anger, sadness, and a hint of imperceptible forgiveness.
"You know? I used to think that we were the closest people, but what you did made me feel chilled." Meng Haowu's voice was very calm, but full of deep pain.
"I know, I will make up for my mistakes." Meng Haowen's voice was full of determination, and he looked at Meng Haowu firmly. "
Meng Haowu was silent for a moment, "I hope so." He said lightly.
Meng Haowen took a deep breath. He knew that what he was about to say might change the relationship between him and Meng Haowu, and might also complicate the relationship between him and Lu He.
However, he decided to speak out because he believed that only honesty can make things easier.
He turned to Meng Haowu, looked him in the eyes, and said in a deep and firm voice: "Meng Haowu, I must tell you, I have fallen in love with Luhe."
His heartbeat was speeding up, but he forced himself to stay calm. He hoped that Meng Haowu could understand his feelings, but at the same time, he was also prepared to face possible conflicts.
Meng Haowu was obviously shocked by this sudden confession.
Various complex emotions flashed across his face, but in the end, he chose a calm acceptance.
He looked at Meng Haowen, a glimmer of understanding and kindness flashed in his eyes.
"I understand, brother." He said softly, "This is not easy, but I will respect your decision."
Meng Haowen breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew this was a good start.
He thanked Meng Haowu for his understanding and support, and they moved on.

Meng Haowu's face showed deep shock and fear. His eyes moved from Meng Haowen's face to his hands, and then back to Meng Haowen's face, as if he was trying to accept this incredible reality.
What his brother, Meng Haowen, said shocked him, and he even couldn't believe it.
Meng Haowu's heart was in chaos. He was confused by Meng Haowen's words. It was a sense of betrayal between brothers and a deep rift between relatives.
He couldn't understand why his brother, whom he had always regarded as a role model and guide, would say such a thing.
His eyes were full of disappointment and doubt. This was his deepest pain, a blow he had never expected. He looked at Meng Haowen as if he were meeting him for the first time, with deep fear and unspeakable pain in his eyes.
A trace of firmness and determination flashed in Meng Haowu's eyes. He took a deep breath, then looked directly at Meng Haowen and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."
Meng Haowen looked at his brother's serious expression and was slightly startled. He motioned for Meng Haowu to continue.
Meng Haowu paused, organized his words, and then said firmly: "I do not agree with Lu He becoming your wife." His voice was full of determination, without any intention of giving in.
Meng Haowen was obviously shocked by his brother's words. He was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He looked at his brother's firm eyes and felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.
Meng Haowu felt a little unbearable when he saw his brother's reaction, but he knew that this was something he had to say.
He took a deep breath and continued: "Brother, I know you may think I am selfish, but I just don't want to see our family broken up because of this incident."
When Meng Haowen heard this, the shock in his heart slowly subsided. He looked at his brother, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I understand what you think, brother. I will seriously consider it."
Meng Haowen didn't know whether he should continue to say anything, but he was very conflicted in his heart.
Didn't he already express his understanding just now?
Why are you saying such things now?
Meng Haowu felt indignation in his heart, like a fire burning in his chest.
He shook his arm fiercely, which was a strong emotion leaking out, expressing his inner anger and dissatisfaction.
He turned around and faced the yard. It was a place full of pain and frustration, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.
Meng Haowu stood in front of Lu He with sharp eyes.
His figure looked more burly in the sunlight, like a tiger from the mountains. His eyes, which were originally ordinary, revealed a deep anger and determination at this moment.
He stopped and stared at Lu He fiercely.
His eyes were like two hot coals, burning with the flames of anger. His hands were clenched into fists, and each knuckle seemed so tight, as if he was trying to squeeze out both anger and determination.
There was a cold light in his eyes, the way he looked at his prey, a decisive look.
His eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing deep into Lu He's heart, leaving her with nowhere to escape.
Under Meng Haowu's glare, Lu He felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain, unable to move.
His eyes were so intense that she couldn't look directly at him, so she could only lower her head to avoid the sharp gaze.
At this moment, Meng Haowu was like a furious lion, staring at his prey, preparing to launch the final attack.
The look in his eyes made Lu He feel unprecedented pressure and fear.
He strode towards the door, each step representing his determination and firmness.
His back looked firm and lonely under the sunlight, and his eyes were like knives, with a sense of determination and decisiveness.
His figure gradually lengthened in the sunlight, and then disappeared through the door. As he left, the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to become deserted and empty.
Meng Haowu stopped at the exit of the courtyard.
His eyes were deep and firm, and a strong momentum emanated from him.
He stared at the stone at the door. The lifeless gray stone became a thorn in his eyes at this moment.
He took a step forward, stepped over to the stone, grabbed the edge of the stone with both hands, and lifted it from the ground with all his strength.
The stone seemed to turn into a heavy object driven by rage in his hands.
His muscles were tensing and veins were popping out on his forehead, obviously bearing great force.
He raised his hand, pointed the stone forward, and smashed it down with all his strength.
