The morning sunlight once again poured into the bedroom of Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng, the gentle light brushing over Lin Shiyong's delicate eyelashes. She slowly woke up and noticed that Gu Jincheng was already dressed, standing by the window gazing at the street outside.
"Jincheng, you woke up so early?" Lin Shiyong rubbed her eyes in surprise.
Gu Jincheng turned around, a faint smile on his face. "Yes, today is an important day for us, and I want to prepare in advance."
Today, they would officially visit Lin Shiyong's home, where Gu Jincheng would meet Lin's parents for the first time as her boyfriend. This was a significant and sacred moment for any couple.
Lin Shiyong stood up and walked over to Gu Jincheng, gently leaning on his shoulder. "My parents are actually easy to get along with, so you don't need to be too nervous."
Gu Jincheng gently held her hand. "I know, but I still hope to leave a good impression on your parents."
Lin Shiyong smiled and took Gu Jincheng's hand as they returned to the dining table to enjoy breakfast. The breakfast was simple, featuring Lin Shiyong's favorite sunny toast paired with fresh fruit salad and coffee. While enjoying their meal, the two discussed the upcoming family gathering.
"Remember, my mom loves to hear compliments about her gardening, so you might want to take a good look at our garden," Lin Shiyong said while eating his toast, giving Gu Jincheng some advice.
Gu Jincheng nodded, "Alright, I will pay attention."
After the meal, they began to prepare for departure. Lin Shiyong chose a simple yet stylish dress, while Gu Jincheng opted for a well-fitted suit that was both neat and elegant. Before leaving, Lin Shiyong took a moment to adjust Gu Jincheng's tie. They exchanged smiles, filled with anticipation.
The Lin family resides in a magnificent old mansion in the city center, a building that has witnessed the transformation of the city from ancient times to the modern era. As the car slowly came to a stop in front of the Lin residence, Gu Jincheng couldn't help but feel awed by the century-old architecture before him.
At the entrance, Lin Shiyong's parents were already waiting. Lin's father wore a casual shirt and had a smile on his face, while Lin's mother was dressed in an elegant long dress, holding a small pair of gardening shears, suggesting she had just returned from the garden.
"Mom, Dad, this is Gu Jincheng." Lin Shiyong said nervously yet proudly as he held Gu Jincheng's hand.
Gu Jincheng stepped forward and politely bowed, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Gu Jincheng. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Father Lin laughed heartily and stepped forward to pat Gu Jincheng on the shoulder. "I've heard Shiyong mention you many times. It's great to finally meet you in person. No need to be too formal, come on in."
Mother Lin also smiled and nodded. She looked Gu Jincheng up and down, then said with satisfaction, "Shiyong has good taste; you really are a polite young man."
As Gu Jincheng and Lin Shiyong followed Lin's parents into the elegantly decorated living room, Gu Jincheng felt a bit nervous, but he maintained his usual calmness and politeness. The warm smile of Lin's mother and her proactive gesture of preparing tea filled the space with a sense of home warmth and comfort.
After sitting down, Lin's father began a friendly conversation, occasionally directing his gaze at Gu Jincheng and then at Lin Shiyong, seemingly trying to glean more from their interactions. Gu Jincheng shared his family background, explaining how he grew up in an ordinary household and worked hard to make a name for himself in the esports industry, gradually achieving a certain level of success. His tone was calm, yet it conveyed determination and confidence, with each word reflecting his maturity and composure.
"Gu, I heard that you have quite a reputation in the gaming world," Mr. Lin said with a hint of admiration in his voice.
Gu Jincheng modestly replied, "Uncle, you're too kind. I'm just doing what I love, and today's achievements are also thanks to the collective efforts of my team members."
At this moment, Lin's mother walked over with a cup of tea and said gently, "It's not easy for young people to achieve this much. Gu Jincheng, what are your plans for the future?"
Gu Jincheng took the tea and looked gratefully at Lin's mother before saying, "Thank you, Auntie. For the future, Shiyong and I share a common dream. We hope to bring more energy to the esports community and create a platform where more young people can realize their dreams."
Hearing Gu Jincheng mention dreams, Lin Shiyong couldn't help but hold Gu Jincheng's hand, his eyes filled with support and trust.
Lin's parents exchanged smiles at this scene. Lin's father said, "It seems that you two are not only partners in your careers but also good companions who support each other in life."
Lin's mother gently nodded, her eyes filled with affection. "As parents, we are very pleased to see Shiyong find such an outstanding partner with shared goals."
In this warm and sincere conversation, time quietly passed. Gu Jincheng not only successfully won the favor of Lin's parents but also deepened his feelings with Lin Shiyong.
During lunchtime, in the Lin family's dining room, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the neatly arranged dining table, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The delicious dishes prepared by Lin's mother emitted an enticing aroma, filling the entire space with the essence of home.
Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng sat on one side of the table, while Lin's parents were seated across from them. The atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious and warm, with everyone engaging in relaxed conversation, occasionally punctuated by laughter.
Lin Shiyong occasionally playfully kicked Gu Jincheng with her foot. Whenever Gu Jincheng felt her little actions, he would secretly glance at her, and their eyes met with a shared understanding and affection. Lin Shiyong would then show a playful smile, while Gu Jincheng responded with a doting gaze. All of this silently demonstrated the deep feelings between them.
Seeing this scene, Lin's mother couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems you two get along very well. Shiyong has always been quite mischievous, so Jincheng, you need to take good care of her."
Gu Jincheng smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will. Shiyong has given me a lot of happiness and support, and I will do my best to make her happy."
Lin's father joined the conversation, his tone slightly teasing, "Jincheng, I've heard you're quite famous in the esports world. Does that mean we can have Shiyong do less housework from now on?"
Gu Jincheng, upon hearing this, quickly said seriously, "Uncle Lin, of course. I will share the household chores with Shiyong so that she has more time to pursue her dreams."
Lin Shiyong couldn't help but interject, "Oh, Dad, don't put Jincheng in a difficult position. He already does a lot of chores, and I can't always have him running around."
The pleasant and relaxed conversation made the atmosphere of the lunch even warmer. Everyone chatted while eating, sharing their stories. This family lunch not only allowed Gu Jincheng to deeply feel the warmth and inclusiveness of the Lin family but also further strengthened his bond with them, laying a more solid foundation for his relationship with Lin Shiyong.
After the meal, the atmosphere in the Lin household remained harmonious and warm. Lin's mother led Gu Jincheng to her meticulously maintained garden, while Lin Shiyong secretly leaned in to whisper to Gu Jincheng, "Remember to compliment it a bit more; my mom takes great pride in this garden."
Gu Jincheng nodded, indicating understanding, and then followed Mrs. Lin into the garden. The garden was filled with various types of flowers, from blooming roses to delicate dwarf morning glories, each meticulously cared for.
As they walked, Mrs. Lin introduced, "These are the varieties I've collected over the years, and each flower has its own story."
Gu Jincheng sincerely praised, "Mom Lin, your garden is so beautiful. Every flower is blooming so vibrantly. It's clear how much care you give them."
Upon hearing Gu Jincheng's praise, Mom Lin's face showed a satisfied smile, "Thank you, Gu Jincheng. These flowers are like my children. I have indeed put a lot of thought into them."
At this moment, Lin Shiyong interjected, "Yeah, sometimes I worry that my mom's enthusiasm for these flowers and plants might make her forget about me."
Gu Jincheng responded with a smile, "I think your mom's love for you is just as strong as her affection for these flowers and plants."
Lin's mother heard this and shook her head with a smile. "Shiyong, this child just loves to joke around. Gu Jincheng, you young people have your own world. As parents, we only hope to provide support when you need it."
Finally, when they returned to the living room, Lin's mother said to Gu Jincheng, "Gu Jincheng, you are always welcome to come to our home; this place is also your home."
Gu Jincheng said emotionally, "Thank you, Auntie. Your garden, like you, brings warmth to people."
"Jincheng, I am very glad to see you today. It's clear that you are sincere about Shiyong," Father Lin said during the farewell, his tone filled with approval and support.
Gu Jincheng replied firmly, "Thank you, Uncle. I will prove through my actions that my love for Shiyong is eternal."
As he left the Lin family home, Lin Shiyong embraced Gu Jincheng and said, "Jincheng, you did great today. My parents really liked you."
Gu Jincheng smiled and gently kissed her forehead, saying, "With you by my side, I have the whole world."
Today was not just a meeting between Gu Jincheng and the Lin family; it marked the beginning of emotional connections and blessings between the two families. In this atmosphere of love and support, Lin Shiyong and Gu Jincheng's relationship grew stronger, bringing more anticipation and brightness to their future.
