Under the soft light of the bedside lamp, Gu Yunxi's room was immersed in tranquility. Lying in bed, her thoughts gradually drifted away from the hustle and bustle of the day, her mind as peaceful as the night outside the window. Before falling asleep, she couldn't help but recall the time she had spent with He Siyan; those joyful and warm scenes flashed through her mind, causing a sweet smile to unconsciously appear on her lips.
As night deepened, Gu Yunxi's breathing gradually became even and deep. In her dreams, there might be the steaming aroma of a spicy hot pot restaurant, the interplay of light and shadow in a movie theater, and leisurely strolls with He Siyan through the streets. These simple everyday moments wove together into beautiful pictures in her dreams.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, gently illuminating Gu Yunxi's bed. She awoke to birdsong, stretched, and felt refreshed. A good night's rest had filled her with energy, preparing her for a new day.
After getting up, Gu Yunxi changed into casual home clothes and briskly went downstairs to the kitchen. She wanted to prepare a hearty breakfast for her family to express her gratitude and love. In the kitchen, she busied herself frying eggs, toasting bread, and cutting fruit; every movement revealed her care for her family.
Soon, the rest of the family woke up one after another, drawn by the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen. Seeing Gu Yunxi busily working, everyone felt a warmth in their hearts. Xia Liang walked into the kitchen, gently patted her daughter's shoulder, and said softly, "Yunxi, thank you for your hard work. The breakfast looks really good."
Gu Yunxi turned her head and gave a bright smile: "Mom, it's not hard work. I feel very happy to be able to make breakfast for my family."
The family sat around the dining table, enjoying the breakfast prepared by Gu Yunxi, chatting and laughing in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. This weekend not only deepened the bond between Gu Yunxi and He Siyan, but also made Gu Yunxi cherish the time spent with her family even more.
After breakfast, Gu Yunxi and her family cleared the table together, and then suggested going to the yard to water the flowers and tend to the plants. Xia Liang and Han Yulan were delighted with the suggestion, as it meant the family could enjoy the fresh air and sunshine outdoors together.
Gu Weiguo and Gu Yanxiao also joined the family activity, picking up gardening tools and starting to mow the lawn and clear away fallen leaves. Gu Yuanzhi helped out by watering the plants, her face beaming with a happy smile.
Gu Yunxi held the watering can and gently watered each flower. Watching the water droplets sparkle on the petals, her mood became exceptionally pleasant. She said to her family members beside her, "This morning is so beautiful. It feels especially warm and cozy to do some housework together."
Xia Liang smiled and replied, "Yes, Yunxi, the greatest happiness is that our family can be together like this."
In the courtyard, the family's laughter and conversation mingled together, creating a harmonious scene. They were not only tending to their little garden, but also nurturing the bonds between family members.
After more than an hour of work, the yard became cleaner and more vibrant. Gu Yunxi suggested taking a break, so everyone sat on the benches in the yard, enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Gu Yanxiao took out his camera and captured this heartwarming scene, showing the happy smiles of his family. He remarked with emotion, "These moments are truly precious; we should take more photos to preserve these beautiful memories."
Gu Yunxi nodded in agreement: "Dad is right. We can take these photos out and reminisce in the future."
After resting, Gu Yunxi returned to her room, ready to begin her day of studying. She knew that although weekends were a good time to relax and enjoy family time, as a student, she couldn't forget her studies.
She sat at her desk, opened her book, and began to study. Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on her book and adding a sense of tranquility and focus to her study time.
Just as the Gu family was enjoying a peaceful weekend morning, the phone suddenly rang. Gu Yuanzhi, who was closest to the phone, reached out and answered it. Her voice carried a hint of curiosity: "Hello, this is the Gu family."
He Siyan's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is He Siyan. Is Gu Yunxi home? I'd like to talk to her."
Gu Yuanzhi recognized He Siyan's voice and gave him a mischievous smile: "Oh, it's Brother He Siyan. My sister is home. Wait a moment, I'll go call her."
He Siyan chuckled on the other end of the phone, feeling warmed by Gu Yuanzhi's friendly attitude: "Okay, thank you, Yuanzhi."
Gu Yuanzhi put down the phone and ran quickly to Gu Yunxi's room, knocking on the door: "Sister, it's He Siyan on the phone, he's looking for you."
When Gu Yunxi heard it was He Siyan calling, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. She put down the book in her hand, stood up, and quickly walked to the living room to answer the phone.
She answered the phone, a hint of joy in her voice: "Siyan, is that you? What's up?"
He Siyan replied on the other end of the phone, "Yunxi, good morning. I just wanted to confirm the time we agreed to meet at the library this afternoon, so as not to disturb your rest."
Gu Yunxi remembered that they did indeed have this agreement, and replied with a smile, "Oh, yes, we'll meet at the library entrance at two o'clock this afternoon. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten."
Hearing Gu Yunxi's reply, He Siyan was relieved: "Okay, see you this afternoon. Do you have any plans for this morning?"
Gu Yunxi glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window, feeling cheerful: "I'll help with some housework this morning and enjoy the leisure of the weekend. What about you?"
He Siyan also shared his plans: "Me too, I'm planning to read at home for a while, and then go to the library in the afternoon. See you this afternoon."
The two chatted for a few more minutes, then said goodbye and hung up. Gu Yunxi returned to her room, filled with anticipation for their meeting at the library that afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yunxi returned to her room in a cheerful mood. She sat at her desk, gathered her thoughts, and then continued studying. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting dappled shadows on her books, adding a tranquil beauty to her study time.
Time slipped away quietly as she turned the pages of her book. Gu Yunxi focused intently on reviewing the course material, occasionally jotting down key points in her notebook. She knew that her appointment with He Siyan at the library was not only a casual get-together, but also a great opportunity for learning and exchange.
At lunchtime, the Gu family gathered around the table again, enjoying the delicious food that Xia Liang had carefully prepared. During the meal, Gu Yunxi mentioned her afternoon trip to the library with He Siyan. Gu Weiguo and Han Yulan both expressed their support, encouraging her to study and exchange ideas with friends more often.
Gu Yuanzhi blinked and asked curiously, "Sister, what do you all do in the library?"
Gu Yunxi replied with a smile, "We usually find books that interest us to read, and sometimes we discuss study problems together and help each other."
After lunch, Gu Yunxi returned to her room and began preparing what she would bring to the library that afternoon. She selected several professional books and notebooks, along with a pen, and then packed them into her backpack.
At 1:30 p.m., Gu Yunxi said goodbye to her family, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and left home. She walked through familiar streets, the sunlight warming her. Her heart was light and expectant as she imagined spending the afternoon with He Siyan at the library.
When Gu Yunxi arrived at the library, He Siyan was already waiting there. He was wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans, holding two cups of coffee. When he saw Gu Yunxi approaching, a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Yunxi, you're here. I bought you a cup of coffee." He Siyan stepped forward and handed her a cup of coffee.
Gu Yunxi took the coffee and said gratefully, "Thank you, Si Yan. You're always so thoughtful."
The two entered the library together, beginning their pleasant afternoon of study. They wandered among the bookshelves, selecting books that interested them. Occasionally, they would find a quiet table to sit down, share their reading experiences, and discuss academic issues.
Time slipped away quietly in the ocean of knowledge, and both Gu Yunxi and He Siyan felt very fulfilled and satisfied.
