As the joy of victory gradually faded, Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng chose to meet at a uniquely styled café on a quiet weekend to reminisce about the highlights of the season.
This café is located in a corner of the city, away from the hustle and bustle, filled with a blend of modernity and artistry. The interior decor is simple yet stylish, with abstract art pieces hanging on the walls, creating a serene and warm atmosphere. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can see pedestrians hurrying by and cars flowing in a vibrant contrast.
Lin Shiyong wore a casual dress, feeling relaxed and at ease. Her long hair fell casually over her shoulders, adding to her graceful appearance. A cheerful smile lit up her face, and her eyes sparkled with hope for the future. As she sat down, she couldn't help but gently sway her legs, showcasing her natural vitality and optimism.
Gu Jincheng, on the other hand, was dressed in a simple shirt and casual pants, looking both stylish and elegant. His black short hair was neatly styled, giving him a spirited look. Beneath his calm exterior, there was a hint of concern and warmth towards Lin Shiyong. His movements as he sat down were deliberate, and his gaze reflected deep contemplation.
Sitting in the corner of the café, the two ordered their favorite drinks, ready to begin their conversation. The relaxed atmosphere made it a perfect place for deep discussions.
Lin Shiyong excitedly held his coffee cup, his eyes filled with uncontainable joy: "Every time I think about our achievements this season, it feels like I'm in a dream!"
Gu Jincheng smiled slightly and replied calmly, "It truly is an extraordinary journey. But you know, success is never a coincidence." His tone was steady, but his eyes revealed determination.
Lin Shiyong pouted, appearing somewhat unconvinced. "Hmph, you're always so rational. But I like to be impulsive sometimes; that's what makes life interesting!"
Gu Jincheng elegantly took a sip of coffee, his gaze deep: "Impulsiveness certainly has its charm, but one must not overlook the importance of planning and strategy. Your nature gives you infinite possibilities, but sometimes, it is necessary to calm down and think things through."
Lin Shiyong lightly pursed her lips, but her eyes revealed a deep trust in Gu Jincheng. She suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Jincheng, do you remember that sudden downpour before the finals?"
Gu Jincheng's lips curled slightly as he recalled that moment: "Of course, the rain nearly ruined our plans. But your response at that time was truly unexpected."
Lin Shiyong laughed like a child: "I was really scared back then, but it felt so thrilling! The fact that we actually ran in the rain still seems unbelievable to me!"
Gu Jincheng looked at her seriously and said, "That is your courage. You always manage to show your strength at the most critical moments."
He continued, "Shiyong, your performance this season has been truly outstanding. Your progress is evident, and I am very impressed."
Lin Shiyong smiled gently and responded modestly, "It's all thanks to your guidance and help. Honestly, I was a bit surprised myself; I didn't expect to do this well."
Gu Jincheng nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Your hard work is evident, but what I admire more is your adaptability and teamwork during the competition. These are essential qualities for becoming a top player."
Lin Shiyong took a sip of coffee, her eyes sparkling with contemplation. "I remember a match where the opponent's tactics caught us off guard. I was really nervous at that time, but I recalled what you told me before: to stay calm, observe carefully, and find their weaknesses."
Gu Jincheng listened to her words, a hint of a satisfied smile appearing in his eyes. "You performed exceptionally well in that match. Your judgment and actions at critical moments helped the team turn the situation around."
Lin Shiyong's face revealed a hint of pride. "Yes, at that moment I was really excited. I felt like I had suddenly opened the door to a new world and saw more possibilities."
Gu Jincheng smiled gently. He admired Lin Shiyong's optimism and positivity, which were her most charming qualities. He said earnestly, "Shiyong, you have tremendous potential. You are not only an outstanding competitor, but your character and attitude will also be important factors in your success."
Lin Shiyong smiled gratefully upon hearing these words. "Thank you for your encouragement, but I know I still have many shortcomings. I need to gain more experience in more competitions."
The two continued to discuss the details of the competitions in the café, sharing their feelings and what they had learned. Their conversation was not only a reflection on the past but also a look forward to the future.
As night fell, the lights in the café became softer, adding a touch of warmth and romance to their conversation. Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng's exchange not only brought them closer together but also filled them with anticipation and confidence for the future.
In every corner of the café, their laughter and dialogue resonated. Each word they spoke and every glance they exchanged left a profound mark in each other's hearts.
Finally, as they left the café, Lin Shiyong looked at Gu Jincheng and sincerely said, "Today's conversation was truly meaningful, Gu Jincheng. I feel that we are not just teammates, but more like friends."
Gu Jincheng smiled in response, "Yes, Shiyong. On this journey in esports, we will move forward together."
Leaving the café, the two of them strolled along the brightly lit street. Lin Shiyong suddenly had a mischievous glint in her eyes and turned to Gu Jincheng, suggesting, "Gu Jincheng, let's go to the arcade! We can relax a bit and try out those little games!"
Gu Jincheng was slightly taken aback. His life was usually structured and orderly, so he was a bit surprised by Lin Shiyong's sudden proposal. However, seeing her innocent smile made him unconsciously smile back. "Sure, let's see how lucky you are."
The two of them arrived at a nearby arcade, where the lights were flashing and the sounds of various game machines and lottery machines filled the air, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere. Lin Shiyong's eyes lit up as she saw the colorful game machines; she looked around excitedly like a curious child.
She grabbed Gu Jincheng's hand and said enthusiastically, "Come on, let's start with this one!" She pointed to a shooting game machine that looked quite interesting.
Gu Jincheng followed her steps, slightly furrowing his brow, but soon relaxed. He knew that Lin Shiyong was a person full of energy and curiosity. In front of the game console, Lin Shiyong picked up the gun-shaped controller and focused intently on aiming at the target on the screen, a serious expression appearing on her small face. Although her movements were somewhat clumsy, they were filled with enthusiasm and enjoyment.
Gu Jincheng stood calmly beside her, observing Lin Shiyong's actions and occasionally offering some guidance: "Try to relax a bit and pay attention to the rhythm."
As the game progressed, Lin Shiyong's performance improved more and more. She happily turned to Gu Jincheng and said, "See, I've made progress!" Her eyes were filled with a sense of achievement.
Gu Jincheng looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but feel warmth in his heart. He nodded and said, "Indeed, you are quite talented."
Then, they arrived at the claw machine. Lin Shiyong excitedly inserted a coin and focused intently on maneuvering the mechanical claw. Her brows furrowed slightly as she carefully adjusted the position and then pressed the grab button. The mechanical claw slowly descended, and the tense atmosphere made her hold her breath. However, the first attempt was unsuccessful, and the doll slipped from the claw.
Lin Shiyong pouted and said with some frustration, "It's so hard!"
Gu Jincheng smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, try again. You can do it." His voice was filled with encouragement.
Lin Shiyong nodded, readjusted her mindset, and challenged herself once more. This time, she observed more carefully and slowly moved the mechanical claw. Finally, with her meticulous operation, the mechanical claw steadily grasped a cute little doll.
When the doll successfully fell into the prize slot, Lin Shiyong jumped up excitedly, her face beaming with the joy of victory. "I did it! Look!" she exclaimed as she eagerly picked up the doll to show Gu Jincheng.
Gu Jincheng watched her childlike joy and couldn't help but smile gently, feeling a corner of his heart touched by her innocence. "Congratulations, Shiyong," he said, his voice filled with warmth.
On this simple afternoon, the two enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing time at the arcade.
In the evening, they walked out of the arcade together. Lin Shiyong held the small doll she had just won in her arms, a satisfied smile still on her face. She looked at Gu Jincheng and sincerely said, "I really had a great time today. Thank you for being with me."
Gu Jincheng nodded gently, looking back at her with warm light shimmering in his eyes: "I'm also very happy to be with you."
The experience of this day was not just a simple leisure relaxation, but also a beautiful page in the relationship between the two. In this competitive and stressful world of e-sports, being able to have such moments is undoubtedly a precious relief and respite for them.
The night deepens, and the city lights twinkle behind them. Two young souls weave their memories together on this brilliant night.
