In Gu Chenyu's office, the lights were still bright, and the city outside was gradually sinking into the quiet of the night. His desk was piled with various documents and reports, and the computer screen was flashing with dense numbers and charts. His brow was furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep concentration, staring motionless at the screen, his fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, producing a brisk rhythm.
His phone lay quietly on the corner of the desk, and the screen lit up a few times, displaying unread messages from Su Jinyu. The messages revealed her anticipation for their upcoming date, but Gu Chenyu was completely unaware of it all. For him, work always came first. He was always so focused on the task at hand, neglecting to pay attention to the things around him.
As time passed by, the clock in the office ticked away, as if reminding Gu Chenyu of the existence of a life beyond work. However, he seemed like a solitary island, isolated from the world, completely immersed in his own work.
Suddenly, his assistant knocked on the door and entered, with a hesitant and worried look on her face. "CEO, it's already very late. Would you like to take a break today?" The assistant's words carried concern, but Gu Chenyu simply shook his head and did not take his eyes off the screen.
"These reports need to be submitted tomorrow morning, I don't have time to rest," Gu Chenyu's tone was cold and firm, showing his strict attitude towards work.
The assistant looked at his focused eyes and deep expression, knowing that further persuasion was useless, and silently retreated. The office once again returned to silence, leaving only Gu Chenyu and his work.
The clock hands quietly slid past midnight, and Gu Chenyu was still buried in a pile of documents and data. His phone lit up again, with another message from Su Jinyu, but he still didn't notice, as all his energy and thoughts were firmly focused on work.
In the dim office light, his face appeared even more serious and cold. Every keystroke seemed to be casting his determination and sense of responsibility. His dedication to work made him forget about time, and even forget about his own fatigue.
Until late at night, when he finally finished all his work, he leaned wearily against the back of the chair and only then noticed the unread message from Su Jinyu on his phone. A hint of panic finally flashed in his eyes.
On the other side, Su Jinyu stood at the restaurant door, gently rubbing the small gift in her hand. Her eyes occasionally scanned the other end of the street, hoping for Gu Chenyu's appearance. Today, she deliberately wore a light blue long skirt, the hem of the skirt gently swaying in the wind, adding a touch of elegance. Her long hair was gently tied behind her head, revealing a fresh and lovely face.
As time slowly passed, the street lights gradually lit up, and pedestrians came and went around. However, Gu Chenyu still hadn't appeared. Su Jinyu began to show impatience in her eyes, lightly kicking the ground and muttering, "This guy, could he have forgotten again? Really, it's always like this."
She took out her phone to check the time, and it was already half an hour past the appointed time. A clear expression of dissatisfaction appeared on her face, and she began to feel annoyed: "Gu Chenyu, you busy person, really are a headache."
Su Jinyu sat helplessly on the steps outside the restaurant, unconsciously crumpling the gift in her hand. She looked up at the sky and sighed, "I'm such a fool, always getting my hopes up like this."
As time passed, the number of pedestrians on the street dwindled, and the night grew darker. Su Jinyu's mood sank further, her face losing its usual smile and instead showing traces of disappointment and anger.
In the end, she stood up, took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Forget it, I won't wait any longer. Gu Chenyu, you owe me an explanation." With that, she turned and walked into the night, leaving the small gift she had prepared for Gu Chenyu lonely on the steps.
Su Jinyu sat on the sofa at home, her mood changing like the seasons, from initial anticipation to disappointment, and now to anger and confusion. The room was dimly lit, the night outside was heavy, and the air seemed filled with her sense of loss and helplessness.
When Gu Chenyu finally called, Su Jinyu had gone from initial anticipation to disappointment, and now to anger. She answered the phone with a tone of dissatisfaction and sadness, saying, "Gu Chenyu, what do you want by calling now? Do you want to tell me you've forgotten something again?"
Gu Chenyu's voice came through the phone, heavy with apology, " Jinyu, I know there's nothing I can say to make up for my mistake tonight, but I really forgot. Work has been too busy, I..."
Su Jinyu interrupted him, her voice tinged with a hint of despair: "You're always like this, putting work first every time. Gu Chenyu, do you know how long I've been waiting for you tonight? Do you know how disappointed I am?"
Gu Chenyu's silence seemed particularly heavy, his voice low and powerless: "I know I was wrong, Jinyu. Please forgive me for this negligence."
Su Jinyu's mood has reached its limit, her voice trembling: "Shouldn't we have a good talk, Gu Chenyu? I don't know how far our relationship can go. I'm tired, really tired."
The silence on the other end of the phone felt like a mountain pressing on Su Jinyu's heart, and she felt an unprecedented heaviness. She finally hung up the phone, tears silently streaming down her cheeks. She sat quietly on the sofa, filled with confusion and unease, unsure of what the future holds for her and Gu Chenyu. The night grew thicker, much like the emotions in her heart, complex and profound.
Early the next morning, Gu Chenyu silently appeared at the company like a shadow. The office still had the same neat row of workstations, with the morning sunlight streaming through the windows onto his desk. However, his mood was as heavy as the thick clouds covering the sky, gloomy and oppressive.
Sitting at his desk, he was surrounded by piles of documents and data as usual, but today they seemed to have lost their meaning. His gaze was vacant, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the desktop, his thoughts drifting far away. Su Jinyu's words from last night felt like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart, causing him waves of pain and self-blame.
Gu Chenyu is usually a cold and serious person, but now his face is full of worry. His gaze has become melancholic, as if reflecting on his own actions. His fingers are paused on the keyboard, not moving for a long time. He is pondering whether he has truly neglected Su Jinyu's feelings, and whether in the pursuit of career success, he has gradually overlooked the truly important people in his life.
Gu Chenyu deeply sighed, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. He is accustomed to using work to escape emotional conflicts and confusion, but this time, Su Jinyu's disappointment and sadness are like a mirror, clearly reflecting the shortcomings and unease deep within his heart.
Su Jinyu stood in the traditional Chinese medicine shop, holding a bunch of Chinese herbs in her hand, but her gaze seemed distant, as if her thoughts were elsewhere. Her face still bore a smile from her work, but within the smile, there was a hint of deep confusion and hesitation.
When a customer walked into the store, she automatically stepped forward, serving with her usual enthusiasm and lively attitude. But while answering the customer's questions, her mind was elsewhere. Her fingers lightly turned the medicine bottle, her eyes occasionally gazing into the distance, and at other times lost in thought.
She is thinking about her relationship with Gu Chenyu. This love has always been warm and hopeful in her heart, but now it has become somewhat unclear. Gu Chenyu's busyness and aloofness make her feel lonely, causing her to start questioning whether this kind of relationship is really suitable for her, and whether it can really give her the happiness she wants.
A regular customer noticed Su Jinyu's unusual demeanor and asked with concern, "Miss Jinyu, you look very troubled today."
Su Jinyu smiled faintly, masking her emotions: "Oh, it's just a small matter, nothing serious." Her voice was cheerful, but her eyes couldn't hide a trace of melancholy.
In the midst of her busy work, she would occasionally pause, gaze into the distance, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to Gu Chenyu. Her heart was filled with conflict and struggle; on one hand, she cherished her feelings for Gu Chenyu, yet on the other hand, she longed for more care and companionship.
The clock in the shop ticked away, marking the passage of time, while Su Jinyu was deep in thought. She needed to make a decision, one that would determine her own happiness. Her expression shifted between concentration and confusion, revealing the inner struggle and unease she was feeling.
In the afternoon, Gu Chenyu decided to go to the Chinese medicine shop to find Su Jinyu. He walked into the shop and saw Su Jinyu carefully preparing medicinal herbs for an elderly person. He stood quietly to the side, waiting for her to finish.
Su Jinyu turned around and saw him, the surprise in her eyes quickly replaced by indifference. Gu Chenyu stepped forward and earnestly said, "Jinyu, I'm really sorry for what happened last night. I know I was wrong. I think we need to have a good talk."
Su Jinyu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Gu Chenyu, we really need to talk. Our relationship cannot just be an accessory to your work."
