Raindrops slowly fell from the sky of the bustling city, gradually turning into a downpour as time passed. Pedestrians on the street hurriedly sought shelter from the sudden heavy rain. Raindrops flowed along irregular paths on the glass windows of the tall buildings, reflecting the city's neon lights and creating a hazy and mysterious atmosphere.
In the busy city center, an expensive black sedan slowly drove on the slippery road. Inside the car, Gu Chenyu sat in the back seat, his face as cold as the moon, his sharp eyes revealing his extraordinary temperament. His brows were furrowed, his eyes focused on the documents in his hand, with a barely noticeable hint of impatience. His driver, dressed in a neat uniform, attentively drove the vehicle, occasionally glancing at the young CEO through the rearview mirror.
"Hurry up, we're already late," Gu Chenyu's voice was cold and stern, his words direct and unquestionably authoritative.
The driver nodded and accelerated, but the sudden heavy rain made the road extremely slippery. The car lost control while turning, skidding towards a traditional Chinese medicine shop on the side of the street. It was a small shop with antique decor, and a wooden sign hung in front of the door. At the moment of impact, the sign broke with a dull thud as it fell to the ground.
Su Jinyu, the heir and physician of this traditional Chinese medicine shop, is organizing medicinal herbs inside the store. Upon hearing a loud noise outside, she immediately sets down her work and walks out of the shop. Seeing the scene, her brow furrows slightly, but soon a smile appears at the corner of her mouth.
"Oh my, what an unexpected visitor," she murmurs softly, her eyes sparkling.
Gu Chenyu struggled to climb out of the car, looking disheveled with a slight scratch on his forehead and aching in his limbs. His eyes revealed a hint of pain as he gazed at the woman in front of him, dressed in a qipao with Chinese elements, showing a trace of wariness.
"Are you okay?" Su Jinyu asked with concern in her voice as she approached to inspect Gu Chenyu's injuries.
"I'm fine," Gu Chenyu's voice remained cold, but his eyes softened slightly, silently responding to the other's concern.
Su Jinyu shook her head gently and smiled, saying, "Your wound needs to be disinfected. Come in, I'll take care of it for you."
Gu Chenyu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed her into the traditional Chinese medicine shop. The air inside was filled with a faint herbal fragrance, and various bottles and jars were displayed around, creating a traditional atmosphere. Su Jinyu skillfully took a few things from the shelf and began treating Gu Chenyu's wound.
"Your technique is quite extraordinary," Gu Chenyu couldn't help but comment, his eyes carrying a hint of assessment.
Su Jinyu responded with a smile, "This is a secret recipe passed down in our family, and it works very well." Her tone was relaxed, seemingly maintaining a sense of ease and optimism in this tense atmosphere.
After a careful examination, Su Jinyu frowned and said, "Your foot injury is quite serious, and you need to take good care of it. I suggest you come back for dressing changes and follow-up visits frequently in the near future."
Gu Chenyu nodded slightly, though he didn't speak, there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
At this moment, Su Jinyu turned to the driver and asked with concern, "Are you okay too?"
The driver shook his head repeatedly, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Su Jinyu nodded and smiled at the driver, then turned back to Gu Chenyu to carefully bandage his wound.
Under her careful care, Gu Chenyu's wound was quickly treated. He looked at this unconventional female doctor and couldn't help but feel some admiration. Although his expression remained cold, the light in his eyes revealed his appreciation for her.
"Thank you for your help," Gu Chenyu finally spoke, his tone brief but sincere.
Su Jinyu smiled and shook her head, "No need to thank me, this is what I should do." Her eyes were full of passion and vitality, forming a sharp contrast with Gu Chenyu's calm temperament.
Between the two of them, a subtle atmosphere slowly flowed in the air, as if this unexpected encounter brought a different color to their lives. Gu Chenyu couldn't help but linger on Su Jinyu for a few more seconds, his eyes seemingly hiding an imperceptible sense of inquiry.
At this moment, the rain outside seemed to be even more intense. Su Jinyu walked to the door, looked at the rain curtain outside, and said softly, "It looks like you'll have to stay here a little longer. It's not safe to go out in such heavy rain." Gu Chenyu did not immediately respond. His gaze wandered around the traditional Chinese medicine shop, as if searching for something. Finally, he fixed his eyes on the wet outside and nodded in agreement.
Su Jinyu Upon seeing the situation, she smiled and returned to the counter, beginning to organize some scattered medicinal herbs. Her movements were light and skilled, with each small action revealing her passion and focus on the job.
Gu Chenyu Quietly observed her, although he felt annoyed by the sudden unexpected situation, he also had to admit that this woman brought him a somewhat unusual feeling. His gaze inadvertently fell on her delicate wrist as she skillfully handled the medicinal herbs, and he unexpectedly felt a sense of inexplicable calmness in his heart.
"Are you familiar with these medicinal herbs?" he couldn't help but ask, his voice tinged with curiosity.
Su Jinyu turned around, her eyes sparkling with wisdom: "Of course, these are all familiar to me since I was young. Each type of medicinal herb has its own story and function. This is not only my profession, but also my passion."
Gu Chenyu Listening to her words, he couldn't help but feel a bit of respect for this female doctor. He slowly relaxed his guard and asked softly, "Can you tell me the story of these medicinal herbs?"
Su Jinyu stood in front of the ancient medicine cabinet, her fingers gently sliding over the exquisitely carved small drawers. Her face was filled with an uncontrollable enthusiasm, like an explorer discussing her new discovery. When she spoke about a medicinal herb called "lingzhi," her eyes sparkled with the fire of knowledge.
"Do you know?" Su Jinyu turned to him, her bright eyes staring at him, full of anticipation. "Ganoderma is not just a precious medicinal material, it was also considered by ancient people as a symbol of immortality!"
Gu Chenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of a cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "These are just superstitious words, immortality is just people's fantasy."
Su Jinyu's lips curled into a playful smile, she enjoyed this kind of debate. "Oh, I'm just telling an interesting story. Can't you just relax and enjoy these beautiful legends?"
Gu Chenyu raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze sweeping over Su Jinyu, seemingly evaluating her words. "I am a person who values science and evidence, not a character in a fairy tale. I care about facts, not fantasies."
Su Jinyu shook her head, with an expression that seemed to say, "You're no fun." "You're really too old-fashioned. Life always needs a little romance and miracles, doesn't it?"
Gu Chenyu responded calmly, "Romance and miracles cannot cure patients."
Su Jinyu couldn't help but smile. She found debating with Gu Chenyu both stimulating and enjoyable. Returning to the medicine cabinet, she continued to explain other medicinal materials, her voice revealing her love and respect for this ancient medical art.
Gu Chenyu stood quietly to the side, his eyes shimmering with appreciation for Su Jinyu's passion, even though his face still maintained its cold and stern expression. He had to admit that the knowledge of this female doctor held a special attraction for him.
The rain gradually stopped, and through the mottled wooden window of the pharmacy, the wet streets gradually revealed the luster of the bluestones. Gu Chenyu stood up slowly, his movements graceful and cautious, as if every detail had been carefully calculated.
Su Jinyu smiled and walked lightly to the door, ready to see off this unexpected visitor. Her eyes sparkled with a curious light, as if she were a child exploring a new toy.
Gu Chenyu turned around, his eyes indifferent, but beneath that cold and stern exterior, there was a hint of imperceptible hesitation. His gaze involuntarily fell on Su Jinyu, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Our encounter today is quite interesting. Your understanding of medicinal herbs is impressive."
A mischievous smile tugged at the corner of Su Jinyu's mouth. "Oh, it seems you're not as cold and boring as I imagined," she said, her words filled with playfulness and provocation.
Gu Chenyu responded indifferently: "Don't think that your few words can understand me. I just respect your expertise." His words were direct and a bit sarcastic, but within that bluntness, there was a hint of admiration for her.
Su Jinyu couldn't help but smile lightly. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, like the murmuring of spring water in the mountains. She looked back at Gu Chenyu: "I am Su Jinyu, the heir to this Chinese medicine shop, and a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner!"
Gu Chenyu's mouth lifted a barely perceptible smile and responded, "I am Gu Chenyu, an operator and manager of a technology company."
He paused and added, "A promising young technology CEO."
Su Jinyu heard and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, CEO Gu. Remember to come back for a check-up!"
This initial meeting was filled with impressions of each other. As Gu Chenyu's figure disappeared at the street corner after the rain, Su Jinyu stood at the door, her eyes shining with anticipation. This unexpected encounter was like a rainbow after a light rain, bringing a hint of different colors to their peaceful lives. And this subtle chemical reaction also destined the fate between them.
