The morning sun shines through the gaps between tall buildings, casting light on the bustling metropolis. People hurry along the streets, and the traffic is constant, with everyone immersed in their own world. In a corner of this modern city, where tradition and modernity blend, Su Jinyu's traditional Chinese medicine shop stands quietly, its antique style contrasting sharply with its surroundings.
On this day, Gu Chenyu, as usual, came to the traditional Chinese medicine shop. As he entered the shop, he was greeted by the unique aroma of Chinese medicine, causing him to slow down involuntarily, with a hint of relaxation in his eyes.
Su Jinyu was busy sorting out medicinal herbs, her movements were skilled and elegant, every detail seemed so natural. When she saw Gu Chenyu come in, a bright smile appeared on her face: " Gu Chenyu, you're here! How's your health been lately?"
Gu Chenyu nodded, his tone still carrying his usual calmness: "Not bad. Your medicine is very effective."
"That's good," Su Jinyu smiled, then took out an ancient medical book and began sharing her insights on traditional Chinese medicine and the wonders of Chinese herbal medicine with Gu Chenyu.
Gu Chenyu listened quietly, his eyes revealing a deep respect for this ancient knowledge. Despite being the CEO of a technology company with a deep understanding of high-tech products, he always held a curious and learning attitude towards traditional knowledge like traditional Chinese medicine.
In this kind of communication, Su Jinyu and Gu Chenyu discovered more common ground. They are both passionate about their own fields and at the same time, they also have respect and curiosity for each other's fields. This mutual understanding and respect have made their relationship even closer.
As time passed, the afternoon sunlight gradually became softer. Su Jinyu suggested, " Gu Chenyu, the weather is so nice today. How about we go to the market? There are many interesting things there, I think you will like it."
Gu Chenyu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded. In his impression, the market was always bustling, which was quite the opposite of the tranquility and order he usually pursued. However, seeing the expectant look in Su Jinyu's eyes, he decided to try this different life experience.
Walking in the bustling market, Gu Chenyu was deeply attracted by the energetic woman beside him. Su Jinyu, who usually shuttled between ancient books and medicine bottles in the traditional Chinese medicine shop, now showed another side of her charm in this colorful market.
"Gu Chenyu, look at this little thing!" Su Jinyu pointed to a delicate handicraft, her eyes shining with excitement. She passionately introduced the crafting techniques and the stories behind these handicrafts to Gu Chenyu.
Gu Chenyu stood quietly on the side, listening to her introduction, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation. Although he didn't speak much, every word was direct and pertinent: "These handicrafts are indeed exquisite, showing the unique craftsmanship of the artisans."
Su Jinyu laughed heartily while pulling Gu Chenyu along, saying, "Come on, let's go check out the snacks over there. I guarantee it will broaden your horizons."
They arrived at a stall selling traditional snacks. Su Jinyu introduced the flavors and characteristics of the snacks to Gu Chenyu while buying a few for him to try. "This is my favorite, crispy and delicious, you have to try it."
Gu Chenyu took the snack and hesitantly took a bite. His eyebrows relaxed slightly, apparently satisfied with the taste. His expression softened a lot at this moment, forming a sharp contrast with his usual seriousness.
"The taste is not bad, better than I imagined," Gu Chenyu commented lightly.
Su Jinyu: "Seeing your surprised look, can't help but comment: 'Is it because you rarely try new things in your daily life?'"
Gu Chenyu: Smiles slightly, seemingly not averse to Su Jinyu's words: "Maybe, thank you for letting me try these."
Strolling through the market, Su Jinyu's enthusiasm and vitality made Gu Chenyu feel another side of life. He began to realize that life is not just about work and achievements, but also about these little joys and novel experiences.
"Gu Chenyu, what do you usually do to relax?" Su Jinyu asked curiously.
Gu Chenyu After a moment of silence, he said, "In my spare time, I mostly read and contemplate. I'm not very good at these lively occasions."
Su Jinyu shook her head with a smile, "Then you're too boring. There should be more color and fun in life, shouldn't there?"
Their conversation continued in this bustling market, ranging from everyday matters to deeper thoughts, gradually deepening their exchange. As time passed, Gu Chenyu's expression became more natural and relaxed, while Su Jinyu savored every moment spent with him.
The market journey brought them a different experience and made their relationship more intimate.
In front of a traditional pastry stall, Su Jinyu bought some Lotus Seed Paste cake and red bean cakes. She handed a Lotus Seed Paste cake to Gu Chenyu and said, "Try this, it's my favorite flavor."
Gu Chenyu took the Lotus Seed Paste cake and carefully took a bite. The pastry was crispy, and the lotus seed paste filling was sweet but not cloying. He couldn't help but nod in appreciation and said, "It's really good."
Su Jinyu sees him happy, and smiles even more. She continues to stroll around the market with Gu Chenyu, introducing every unique feature here.
As the sun sets in the west, the bustle of the market gradually dissipates. Su Jinyu and Gu Chenyu sit together in front of a small shop at the market, enjoying the day's harvest. Looking at Su Jinyu's contented appearance, Gu Chenyu feels a warm sensation in his heart.
"Today was really fun, thank you for bringing me here," said Gu Chenyu, his voice filled with sincerity.
Su Jinyu responded with a smile, "I'm also glad to experience this with you. Gu Chenyu, you're not as aloof as you seem."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Chenyu's eyes flashed with a hint of complex emotions, but he quickly regained his composure: "Perhaps, everyone has a side that is unknown to others."
As the sky gradually darkened, streetlights lit up one by one, and the hustle and bustle of the market gradually faded, replaced by a sense of tranquility and harmony. They walked home together, with Su Jinyu's words being light and cheerful, and Gu Chenyu occasionally interjecting, creating a more harmonious atmosphere between the two.
On the way, Su Jinyu suddenly stopped and pointed to a small restaurant ahead, saying, "Gu Chenyu, let's have dinner there! I heard they make really good home-cooked dishes." Gu Chenyu glanced at the unremarkable restaurant and nodded in agreement.
In the evening, the restaurant had soft lighting and a warm atmosphere. Su Jinyu and Gu Chenyu sat by the window, overlooking the city's night view with its brilliant lights.
"Gu Chenyu, this restaurant's braised pork is especially good, and the home-style tofu is also delicious. You must try it," Su Jinyu excitedly recommended, her eyes shining with a love for good food.
Gu Chenyu nodded, his eyes calm but hinting at an anticipation for something new, "Listening to your introduction, these dishes are indeed worth looking forward to."
Their conversation was brief but substantial, yet their understanding of each other was conveyed without words. When the dishes were served, Su Jinyu immediately showed her enthusiasm and professionalism, "This braised pork looks appetizing, the meat is tender and the color is enticing."
Gu Chenyu carefully savored each dish, his expression changing from his usual seriousness to a serious appreciation. He commented, "This braised pork is truly deserving of its reputation, with tender meat and flavorful sauce."
During the meal, Su Jinyu shared some interesting anecdotes from the market, her tone filled with joy and vivid descriptions: "Did you see that old man selling fruit? Every time he sells a box of strawberries, it's like he's won a battle, his eyes turning into slits from smiling so much."
Gu Chenyu listened to her story, and his eyes unconsciously lit up, revealing a rare smile: "It seems that the old man is quite confident in his strawberries."
Su Jinyu saw him smile and couldn't help but feel happy: "Gu Chenyu, you look really good when you smile. You should smile more often."
Gu Chenyu Her straightforward praise made him a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat lightly and resumed his usual seriousness: "Thank you for the compliment, but I prefer to remain calm."
Su Jinyu responded cheerfully: "Then I'll have to make you laugh more often in the future, so your life won't be so serious."
After dinner, they walked out of the restaurant together, and the night had grown deep. The neon lights on the street shimmered in the darkness, creating a romantic and mysterious atmosphere.
Su Jinyu looked at the starry sky, with a glint of dream in her eyes: "Gu Chenyu, I'm really happy today. I feel very fortunate to be able to share these simple yet beautiful moments with you."
Gu Chenyu turned to look at her, his eyes gentle: "Me too. Being with you, I've discovered that there are many ordinary yet precious things in life worth experiencing and cherishing."
Under this starlight, they seemed to have reached a kind of tacit harmony.
The gentle night breeze blows, taking away the hustle and bustle of the day, leaving behind the tranquility of the late night. Su Jinyu and Gu Chenyu walk slowly along the street, enjoying this peaceful moment.
