As night fell, amidst the countless lights of the city, the urban splendor did not diminish; instead, it appeared even more dazzling in the tranquility of the evening. Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng sat in a spacious conference room, with endless city lights visible outside the window. The interplay of light from outside and the illumination within the room created an atmosphere that was both focused and slightly warm.
Gu Jincheng was gently tapping on the keyboard, with a screen filled with dense competition data and battle analyses. Lin Shiyong held a notebook, his brow slightly furrowed, seemingly pondering some issue.
"Jincheng, look here. The opponent has shown a clear preference for formations in past matches. Can't we exploit this?" Lin Shiyong pointed to an analysis on her notebook, her tone filled with exploratory anticipation.
Gu Jincheng turned his head, gazing at the information she provided, a glimmer of evaluation flashing in his eyes. "This observation is valuable, but we also need to consider that they might have already realized this and made adjustments."
Lin Shiyong smiled, "That would be a double psychological warfare. We can prepare a plan that seems to target their traditional weaknesses on the surface, but actually has other intentions."
Gu Jincheng couldn't help but laugh, "You always have quite a few clever ideas in that head of yours. However, this is indeed a good strategy worth discussing in depth."
The two continued to engage in deep discussions, exploring various possible strategies and countermeasures. As time passed, their conversation became increasingly profound, and the rapport between them deepened throughout the process. Lin Shiyong's optimistic nature complemented Gu Jincheng's calm rationality, allowing them to think about and solve problems from different perspectives.
As the discussion stretched into the late hours of the night, Lin Shiyong stretched and stood up, walking toward the window to overlook the brightly lit city below. "Jincheng, no matter the outcome of tomorrow's competition, I feel it has all been worthwhile. We have learned so much along the way and have grown a lot."
Gu Jincheng stood up, walked to her side, and looked in the same direction. "Yes, Shiyong. This journey, regardless of the outcome, is a testament to our joint efforts. Our team, our dreams, have been moving forward on this path. Whether in victory or defeat, it is all part of our growth."
Lin Shiyong turned to Gu Jincheng, her eyes shining with determination and gratitude. "Jincheng, it's truly wonderful to have you here."
Gu Jincheng smiled and gently held her hand. "Shiyong, the future is long, and we will reach the peak together."
The night breeze softly brushed by, bringing a hint of coolness. The two stood quietly by the window, immersed in this special night, as if the entire city was cheering them on. In this moment, all anxiety and pressure seemed to dissipate.
Time passed unknowingly, and Gu Jincheng suddenly said, "Lin Shiyong, it's already late. Let's rest. We need to get up early tomorrow and stay in our best condition."
Lin Shiyong nodded and began to gather the scattered notes and materials on the table. The two exchanged a smile, then turned off the lights in the room and stepped out of the conference room. In the darkness, their figures slowly merged into one as they walked toward the future together.
After the lights in the conference room went out, the two of them walked down the corridor toward the elevator. Lin Shiyong suddenly patted her stomach lightly and showed an awkward smile. "Jincheng, I'm suddenly a bit hungry. Is there anywhere we can find a late-night snack at this hour?"
Gu Jincheng turned to look at her, a smile spreading across his face. "You little foodie. Alright, I know a 24-hour snack shop nearby that has pretty good food. Let's go, I'll take you there."
The two of them walked out of the building, the night breeze carrying a slight chill, while the city remained bustling with activity. Pedestrians moved back and forth on the street, the lights of the night market flickered, and the aroma of various snacks intertwined in the air.
Upon reaching the snack shop, Lin Shiyong's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the counter filled with all kinds of delicious food. She couldn't help but swallow hard. "Wow, it looks really good! Jincheng, what should we order?"
Gu Jincheng smiled as he looked at her excited expression and suggested, "How about some stir-fried rice noodles, tofu pudding, and barbecue? And your favorite bubble tea, of course."
"That sounds great! It's settled then," Lin Shiyong replied enthusiastically, nodding her head. She then watched Gu Jincheng go to the counter to place the order. Finding a seat by the window, she rested her chin on her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Not long after, Gu Jincheng came over with a large tray of delicious food, instantly filling the table with a sumptuous late-night snack. "Here, try this stir-fried rice noodle. I heard this place makes it especially tasty," he said as he handed Lin Shiyong a pair of chopsticks, encouraging her to give it a taste.
Lin Shiyong took a generous bite without hesitation and chewed contentedly. "Mmm, it's really delicious, Jincheng. You should eat too. We've worked hard all day; we deserve to treat ourselves."
Gu Jincheng nodded and began to savor the delicious food in front of him. They chatted while eating, discussing tomorrow's competition and sharing some light-hearted topics.
After finishing their late-night snack, Lin Shiyong patted his stomach contentedly and said, "Jincheng, thank you for accompanying me for this late-night snack. I feel energized now and am confident to face tomorrow's challenge."
Gu Jincheng smiled at her and said, "Lin Shiyong, being with you, whether it's preparing for the competition or having a late-night snack, makes me very happy. Remember, no matter what the result is tomorrow, we are already the best."
As night deepened, the footsteps of Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng echoed clearly on the quiet street. The streetlights cast their shadows on the ground, gently swaying with their steps. The distant sounds of the night market contrasted sharply with their conversation, making this moment of tranquility even more precious.
"Jincheng, do you know? Every time before a competition, I always get really nervous, but today, being with you, I surprisingly feel less scared," Lin Shiyong turned to Gu Jincheng, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Gu Jincheng tilted his head to look at her, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "Is that so? It must be because you understand that no matter what, I will always be there to support you."
Lin Shiyong pouted and half-jokingly complained, "Hmph, I knew you were going to say something official. But... I still quite like listening to it."
Gu Jincheng chuckled softly, his smile appearing especially warm in the night. "Shiyong, you are always so straightforward, and that's one of the things I like about you."
"Is that just one of them? What else is there?" Lin Shiyong feigned surprise, a mischievous glint sparkling in his eyes.
Gu Jincheng pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "Well, let me think. Your optimism, your courage, and the way your eyes light up every time you eat."
Lin Shiyong couldn't help but laugh, "Oh my, you actually noticed that!"
"Of course, I never miss any details," Gu Jincheng replied earnestly, his eyes revealing a deep concern for Lin Shiyong.
They continued down the street, passing a small vendor selling late-night snacks. Lin Shiyong's eyes lit up as he grabbed Gu Jincheng's hand. "Jincheng, let's try this! I heard the grilled squid here is especially delicious."
Gu Jincheng glanced at the stall and then at Lin Shiyong's eager expression, smiling helplessly. "Alright, as long as it's what you want to eat, we'll give it a try."
They stopped in front of a stall, and Lin Shiyong excitedly chose food while Gu Jincheng quietly stood by, watching her gently. Their laughter intertwined with the surrounding noise of the night market, creating a warm scene.
After buying their late-night snacks, Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng found a relatively quiet spot to sit down. As Lin Shiyong ate grilled squid, she smiled brightly at Gu Jincheng and said, "Jincheng, you have to try this; it's really super delicious!"
Gu Jincheng smiled slightly as he took the grilled squid she handed him, carefully biting off a small piece. Under the lights, his usually calm and rational face showed a satisfied expression. "It's really good; it seems your choice was not wrong."
Lin Shiyong smiled proudly, "See? I told you!"
As they were eating, Lin Shiyong suddenly put down her food and looked seriously at Gu Jincheng. "Jincheng, we've always been like this. Whether busy or relaxed, we can be together. It's truly a blessing."
Gu Jincheng set down the grilled squid in his hand and looked back at her earnestly. "Meeting you is my greatest fortune. I also hope that we can always be like this, walking together forever."
Lin Shiyong's eyes flashed with emotion, but he quickly returned to his usual playful self. "Alright, speaking so seriously makes me feel shy. Come on, eat some squid, eat some squid!"
Gu Jincheng gently shook his head but raised the food in his hand in response to Lin Shiyong's words. They exchanged smiles and continued to enjoy this wonderful evening.
The night was deep, and the conversation between Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng gradually drew to a close. Eventually, they packed up their things and continued on their way home. The night breeze brought a hint of coolness, but their hearts felt as warm as spring.
As they walked home, Lin Shiyong unconsciously leaned against Gu Jincheng's shoulder. Gu Jincheng glanced at her and then naturally draped his arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.
Under the streetlight, the shadows of two people stretched long and intertwined closely. In this moment, all words seemed unnecessary, with only the sound of their heartbeats weaving together into the most beautiful melody in the quiet night.
"You know, if we win, should we celebrate? Like going to that theme park we've always talked about," Lin Shiyong suddenly suggested, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Gu Jincheng smiled and replied, "Of course, whether we win or lose, we should celebrate our efforts and victories. Going to the theme park is a great idea."
Lin Shiyong clapped his hands happily and said, "That's wonderful! I'm already looking forward to it. However, the most important thing right now is tomorrow's competition; we must give it our all."
When they arrived at Lin Shiyong's doorstep, Gu Jincheng stopped and looked at her seriously. "Shiyong, no matter what happens tomorrow, remember we are a team. You are not fighting alone."
Lin Shiyong gazed deeply at Gu Jincheng, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Jincheng. With reliable comrades like you, I feel very reassured."
After saying their goodbyes, Lin Shiyong entered his home while Gu Jincheng turned to leave. In the night, they each contemplated the various possibilities of the competition, but more than that, they reflected on their trust in each other.
