On weekend afternoons, there is always a sense of leisure and tranquility, especially in the traditional Chinese medicine shop run by Su Jinyu. The warm sunlight filters through the half-opened windows, illuminating the neatly arranged medicine cabinets and wooden floors, adding a touch of vitality to the small space.
Su Jinyu is sitting on a high stool behind the counter, her long, smooth hair casually tied back. She is completely engrossed in reading a newly purchased book about herbs. Her brow furrows and relaxes from time to time, and her face occasionally shows a pensive expression, revealing her passion for learning and thirst for new knowledge.
At that moment, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Gu Chenyu entered. He was dressed in a simple suit, and his slightly tired expression revealed the busyness of work. However, when his gaze fell on Su Jinyu, a hint of tenderness involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
When Su Jinyu looked up and saw Gu Chenyu, a hint of surprise immediately flashed in her eyes. "Wow, Gu Chenyu, why are you here? Aren't you very busy today?"
Gu Chenyu With a slight smile, I walked over and sat on the chair opposite the counter, stretching lazily. "It's quite busy, but just the thought of being able to come here and see you makes me feel a lot better."
Su Jinyu Playfully blinking, she raised a mischievous smile at the corner of her mouth. "Oh, it sounds like a sweet moment. But, looking at your tired appearance, shouldn't you have something to replenish yourself?"
Gu Chenyu shook his head and looked at Su Jinyu with affection in his eyes. "No need, just being able to see you is already good enough. But what book are you reading that's so captivating?"
Su Jinyu excitedly picked up the book in her hand and showed it to Gu Chenyu. "Oh, this is a new book I just bought about herbs. There's so much knowledge in it that I didn't know before!"
Gu Chenyu nodded slightly, showing interest: "Sounds good, you should tell me about it when you have time too."
Su Jinyu immediately became spirited and said eagerly, "Of course, no problem. Let me finish it first, I guarantee it will broaden your horizons!"
In this way, the two of them spent a pleasant time in this small corner of the traditional Chinese medicine shop on a weekend afternoon. For Su Jinyu, being able to share her learning achievements and happiness with Gu Chenyu was a very happy thing. And for Gu Chenyu, even though he was busy with work, being able to come here and see Su Jinyu's energetic and passionate smile was enough to make him forget all his fatigue.
The hustle and bustle of the city is always accompanied by hurried footsteps and constant challenges. In such an environment, even the most understanding partners are bound to have friction and misunderstandings. Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu, this seemingly perfect couple in the eyes of many, are no exception.
In the Chinese medicine shop, Su Jinyu sat behind the counter, flipping through the new book about herbs.
"Jinyu, what are you looking at?" Gu Chenyu walked over, his voice low and magnetic.
Su Jinyu looked up and was about to answer when she suddenly noticed that Gu Chenyu's coat was covered in unidentifiable red stains. Her brows furrowed involuntarily, "Chenyu, what's on your coat?"
Gu Chenyu looked down and then smiled wryly, "It's tomato sauce from lunch today. I didn't realize it was so noticeable."
Su Jinyu didn't quite believe it, half jokingly and half seriously said, "Tomato sauce? It looks more like a lipstick mark. Chenyu, are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Chenyu's expression suddenly froze. He didn't expect a joke to make Su Jinyu so serious, and with a hint of misunderstanding. His voice was slightly cold, "Jinyu, what do you mean by this? Don't you trust me?"
A tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air, as if an insurmountable barrier had arisen between the two. Su Jinyu realized that her joke had gone too far and quickly explained, "No, Chenyu, I was just speaking casually. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously. Of course, I trust you."
But Gu Chenyu's mood had already been affected, and he simply said, "I'm tired. I'm going back to rest." With that, he turned and left the traditional Chinese medicine shop, leaving Su Jinyu standing alone, filled with regret and helplessness.
The small disagreement this time did not get resolved immediately, and both of them entered a period of cold war for a while. Su Jinyu felt more and more foolish, but didn't know how to ease the sudden awkwardness. Gu Chenyu also reflected on whether he was too sensitive, after all, Su Jinyu's words were not malicious.
A few days later, Su Jinyu finally gathered the courage to send a message to Gu Chenyu: "Chenyu, can we talk? There are some things I want to say to you."
Gu Chenyu saw the message and fell silent for a moment before replying, "Okay, I'll come over tonight."
That night, Gu Chenyu arrived as planned. Su Jinyu had prepared a simple and warm dinner. After they sat down, Su Jinyu spoke with a hint of apology in her voice, "Chenyu, I'm really sorry for what happened that day. I shouldn't have joked so casually and caused you to misunderstand."
Gu Chenyu looked at her, and the coldness in his eyes gradually melted. He sighed softly, "Jinyu, I was also at fault. I was too sensitive and didn't give you a chance to explain before jumping to conclusions."
They locked eyes and both saw the sincerity and apology in each other's eyes. Su Jinyu gently held Gu Chenyu's hand and said earnestly, "Chenyu, in the future, when we encounter problems, let's communicate first instead of resorting to a cold war, okay? No matter what misunderstandings arise, we should trust each other and solve them together."
Gu Chenyu nodded, his eyes showing determination: "Yes, you're right. We should trust each other and communicate in a timely manner, so that our relationship can become more stable."
That night, their hearts drew closer once again. They realized that even in the most stable relationship, continuous communication and understanding are necessary to make love last. And this small disagreement turned into a timely adjustment and sublimation in their relationship.
From now on, no matter what problems they encounter, Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu will choose to face and communicate openly, making their love even more resilient.
After that late-night honest conversation, the atmosphere between Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu significantly improved. They realized the importance of communication and learned to communicate openly immediately when conflicts arise, which helped them resolve misunderstandings in a timely manner and made their relationship more stable.
However, life is always full of unexpected challenges. Just as their trust in each other was being rebuilt, an unexpected event placed them in a new trial.
One afternoon, when Gu Chenyu stepped into the traditional Chinese medicine shop again, there was a hint of restlessness in his eyes. Su Jinyu keenly noticed his change in mood and asked with concern, "Chenyu, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."
Gu Chenyu sighed and sat down in the chair opposite Su Jinyu, saying heavily, "Some things happened in the company today that have been giving me a headache."
Su Jinyu immediately put down the work in her hands and listened attentively, then encouraged, "Talking about it might make you feel better. I'm here to listen."
Gu Chenyu then described some of the conflicts and difficulties that occurred within the company. Throughout his description, Su Jinyu sometimes furrowed her brow in thought and nodded in understanding. However, when Gu Chenyu mentioned having to engage in multiple in-depth discussions with a female colleague in order to resolve the issues, Su Jinyu's expression seemed to subtly change.
Gu Chenyu did not notice this and continued to express his thoughts and plans. It wasn't until he finished his lengthy discourse that Su Jinyu gently spoke up: "Chenyu, are you very close with that female colleague?"
This question caught Gu Chenyu off guard, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Our interaction is strictly limited to work-related discussions, nothing more."
Su Jinyu's expression became somewhat complicated after hearing this. She softly replied, "I understand it's for work, but sometimes I can't help but worry unconsciously."
Gu Chenyu looked into Su Jinyu's eyes and felt a sense of emotion. No matter how much they trusted each other, people's hearts would always unconsciously generate unease. He gently held Su Jinyu's hand and sincerely said, "Jinyu, I understand how you feel. But I hope you know, to me, you are the most important. Work matters will not affect our relationship."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu felt some of the knots in her heart seemed to be released. She looked up, her eyes shining with affection, and responded, "Chenyu, thank you for understanding. I also believe in you, but sometimes I can't help but think too much."
Gu Chenyu nodded gently, with a firm and affectionate look in his eyes: "No matter what misunderstandings we encounter, we must believe in each other. This way, our relationship can become stronger and stronger."
As the days passed, the relationship between Gu Chenyu and Su Jinyu matured with each adjustment. They learned to lend a helping hand when the other needed it, to give a hug when the other felt lost, and to share joy when the other was happy.
