After the celebration night came to an end, Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng set off on their way home together. The night was as dark as ink, and the city under the streetlights was quiet and beautiful. Their footsteps sounded particularly clear in the stillness of the night.
Walking along the wide street, the two maintained a respectful distance, yet it felt as if their souls were connected. The shadows cast by the streetlights stretched long behind them, seemingly whispering the unspoken feelings they shared.
Gu Jincheng turned his head to look at Lin Shiyong, a soft light shimmering in his eyes. "Tonight's celebration was a great success; everyone seemed very happy."
Lin Shiyong smiled in response. "Yes, seeing everyone so joyful makes me feel fulfilled as well. Everything today felt like a dream; it was just wonderful."
Their conversation was gentle and natural, like two old friends sharing their thoughts. Yet within this mundane exchange lay a profound understanding of their relationship.
As they walked slowly, Lin Shiyong suddenly stopped, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky, his tone dreamy: "Look, the moon is so round and bright tonight. When I was a child, I always dreamed of being able to pick the moon."
Gu Jincheng also stopped and looked up at the sky with her, gently saying, "If possible, I would be willing to help you take it down."
Although these words were spoken lightly, they warmed Lin Shiyong's heart. She turned to Gu Jincheng, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and affection. "Jincheng, thank you for your support and encouragement all this time."
Gu Jincheng smiled slightly, his gaze firm. "We are teammates, but more importantly, we are friends."
Lin Shiyong nodded. She understood that Gu Jincheng's words were not just a momentary comfort, but a long-standing promise. She said softly, "I know that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as you are by my side, I will have endless courage."
They started walking again, their pace neither hurried nor slow, but remarkably coordinated. The trees lining the street swayed gently in the night breeze, producing a rustling sound as if bearing witness to this rare friendship.
After walking for a while, Gu Jincheng suddenly said, "Shiyong, the moonlight is beautiful tonight. How about we find a place to sit down and chat for a while?"
Lin Shiyong was slightly taken aback, but a glimmer of joy quickly flashed in his eyes. "Alright, let's find a place to sit down."
Not far away was the entrance to a park, so the two turned and walked in.
The evening breeze gently brushed by, and the night in the park carried a coolness and tranquility. The footsteps of Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng sounded particularly clear in the stillness of the night. Under the streetlight, their shadows stretched long, intertwining with each other.
As they walked into the park, Lin Shiyong couldn't help but take a deep breath of the refreshing air. She turned to Gu Jincheng, her eyes sparkling with joy. "It's really quiet here; it feels like all my worries have been left behind."
Gu Jincheng smiled slightly, his voice calm and steady. "Yes, sometimes taking a moment to settle down is also a kind of enjoyment." As he spoke, they found a bench under a streetlight and sat down, one on the left and one on the right.
After sitting down, Lin Shiyong couldn't help but stretch lazily. Looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, she couldn't help but say, "Do you think those stars are watching us too?"
Gu Jincheng glanced at her, the corners of his eyes slightly raised. "Maybe, but what I care about more is the young lady sitting next to me right now."
Lin Shiyong chuckled. She gently nudged Gu Jincheng. "Oh, you, how come you’re getting better at talking? But seriously, I'm really happy to be walking here with you today."
Gu Jincheng's expression softened, and he said softly, "Me too. Whenever I'm with you, I always feel a special sense of peace."
At that moment, a gentle breeze blew by, causing the leaves to rustle softly and bringing with it the sound of insects, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquility. The two of them sat quietly like this, enjoying the peaceful moment brought by the night.
Lin Shiyong suddenly thought of something and turned to Gu Jincheng, saying, "By the way, Jincheng, when we were just celebrating our victory, it seems like we didn't mention you. Do you have any special feelings about it?"
Gu Jincheng pondered for a moment and then replied, "While victory is certainly joyful, for me, the greatest reward is being able to work hard and grow together with all of you."
"Hey, you always speak so seriously," Lin Shiyong said, making a funny face, but soon her tone softened. "But I understand what you mean. I also cherish every collaboration and every bit of friendship between us."
The two continued to chat about many things, from the details of the competition to their dreams for the future, with a rich variety of topics. For them, such an evening was a moment of spiritual connection and a beautiful memory.
Lin Shiyong turned to look at Gu Jincheng, his eyes filled with curiosity about their relationship. "Gu Jincheng, what are your plans for the future?"
Gu Jincheng was silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before he slowly replied, "I think that no matter what we encounter in the future, I hope to face it together with you. Not just in competitions, but in every little aspect of life."
Although these words were not explicitly stated, they were enough to convey his true intentions. After hearing this, Lin Shiyong felt an unprecedented warmth surge within her. She softly replied, "Me too, thank you for letting me meet you."
Under the moonlight, the two sat facing each other, their eyes filled with deep determination. Although they had not spoken of it aloud, in this moment, their hearts had drawn closer together.
In the night of the park, they continued their relaxed and deep conversation, sharing their dreams and expressing their visions for the future. Under the tranquil night sky, they experienced an unprecedented exchange, as if the whole world had come to a standstill.
Time passed unknowingly, and when they realized it was already late at night, they reluctantly stood up to say goodbye. Gu Jincheng gently said, "Shiyong, I really had a great time tonight. Thank you for your company."
Lin Shiyong smiled and nodded, "Me too, Gu Jincheng. Everything tonight will become a precious memory for me."
They slowly walked out of the park, the night breeze gently brushing against them, bringing a hint of coolness, but their hearts felt warm. At the moment of parting, Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng embraced each other, their heartbeats seemingly synchronized at that moment. This embrace felt like a silent promise for the future.
Soon after, they each set off on their journey home, filled with thoughts of one another. The exchanges of that night would become the most brilliant page in their shared memories, laying a solid foundation for their future relationship.
In that moment, Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng both held an unspoken agreement in their hearts—no matter what the future held, they would support each other through every challenge in life and create a brilliance that belonged to them together.
The next day, Lin Shiyong was resting alone at home. The sunlight outside streamed into the room through the sheer curtains, warm but not glaring. She sat at her desk, holding a book in her hands, but her mind was not on the words. The conversation she had with Gu Jincheng in the park last night felt like a gentle breeze, constantly swirling in her heart.
Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed Gu Jincheng. Lin Shiyong's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately smiled as she hurriedly answered the video call.
Gu Jincheng's face appeared on the screen. He was wearing a casual T-shirt today, looking relaxed and at ease. "Lin Shiyong, how has your day off been?" His voice came through the phone, gentle and caring.
Lin Shiyong smiled slightly and playfully replied, "It's been okay, but without you around, it feels like something is missing."
Gu Jincheng raised an eyebrow and pretended to speak seriously, "Oh? Did you miss my nagging?" After he finished speaking, both of them couldn't help but laugh.
After the laughter subsided, Lin Shiyong suddenly became serious. "Jincheng, the moon was really beautiful last night. I will always remember that moment we shared together."
Gu Jincheng's expression softened considerably as he replied affectionately, "I feel the same way, Shiyong. At that moment, I felt a deeper connection between us. We are not just teammates, and we are not just friends."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyong couldn't help but blush. She lowered her head and softly said, "Yes, I feel the same way too. Jincheng, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Jincheng suddenly interrupted her, "Shiyong, actually, there's something I want to tell you."
Lin Shiyong looked up and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Gu Jincheng said seriously, "Actually, I've been thinking that our relationship should not just stay at the level of friends. Shiyong, I hope we can take it a step further."
Lin Shiyong's heart raced upon hearing this. She didn't answer directly but instead asked, "Jincheng, are you sure? Won't this affect the team?"
Gu Jincheng said firmly, "I have thought it through. As long as we handle it properly, it won't happen. Moreover, I believe that with you by my side, we can overcome any difficulties together."
Lin Shiyong's eyes flashed with determination as she finally smiled, "Gu Jincheng, then let's move forward together, no matter how treacherous the path ahead may be."
The video call between the two continued in a warm atmosphere as they shared the little details of their daily lives. Although neither of them directly said the words "I love you," they could feel the love in each other's hearts through the screen.
After the call ended, Lin Shiyong leaned back in his chair, filled with sweetness. On Gu Jincheng's side, he also wore a smile. This video call was not just an ordinary exchange; it marked the beginning of their new relationship.
Late at night, Lin Shiyong lay in bed, the moonlight outside still bright. She stared at the ceiling, her mind filled with thoughts of Gu Jincheng. Meanwhile, in another place, Gu Jincheng was reminiscing about every conversation he had with Lin Shiyong, feeling warm inside.
This night marked a beautiful beginning for them. On the road ahead, there may be storms, but as long as they are together, nothing can hinder their steps forward. Under the witness of this unspoken promise, they will walk towards a brighter tomorrow together.
