The next morning, He Siyan stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining himself. His movements revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation. He checked his clothes, making sure every detail was impeccable, because he knew that today was an important day for him.
When he came downstairs to the dining room, he saw his parents sitting at the table and couldn't help but feel curious. "Dad, aren't you busy at work? Why are you still home at this hour?" He Siyan asked, his tone tinged with surprise.
He Zhiyi looked up, his eyes sparkling with affection and humor. "Well, I know my son is going to start dating, so of course I have to be concerned as a parent." His words revealed his support for his son and his curiosity about what was about to happen.
Hearing his father's words, He Siyan didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he naturally took over the conversation, "She's Grandpa Gu's great-granddaughter. I only found out yesterday. She's currently studying at Huada University. I happened to be her instructor during military training." His voice carried a hint of pride and anticipation for the upcoming date.
Huang Haitang listened from the side, a gratified smile on her face. "So she's the Gu family's granddaughter. She's a good girl. Si Yan, you should seize this opportunity." Her words were full of blessings for her son and goodwill towards Gu Yunxi.
He Siyan nodded, his heart filled with determination and confidence. He knew that today was not only the day he confessed his feelings to Gu Yunxi, but also the moment he would show his parents his maturity and sense of responsibility.
That morning, the He family home was filled with a warm and expectant atmosphere. His parents' support and encouragement made He Siyan feel the warmth and strength of family, further solidifying his resolve to express his feelings to Gu Yunxi that day.
After He Siyan left home to attend his important appointment, Huang Haitang turned to her husband, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and contemplation. "How come you've seen such a little girl before?"
He Zhiyi nodded slightly, recalling his several meetings with Gu Yunxi. "I've met her. I have business dealings with her mother. I've met her twice. Although she's young, she has unique insights into things." His voice revealed his appreciation and recognition of Gu Yunxi.
Upon hearing this, Huang Haitang's eyes flashed with surprise. He Zhiyi continued, "Her mother probably wants to groom her to take over the family business. She herself is good at all aspects of her studies, and I heard that she even won first prize in a piano competition before." His words were filled with admiration for Gu Yunxi's many talents.
He Zhiyi smiled and said, "I just didn't expect our son to have such good taste." His tone contained both pride in his son and anticipation for the relationship that was about to unfold.
Huang Haitang smiled too, "Yes, it seems our son not only has good taste, but is also very lucky." Her smile was full of optimism for the future and blessings for her son's happiness.
That morning, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere filled the He family's dining table. The parents expressed their support and appreciation for their son's choice, while also affirming Gu Yunxi's talent and character. They believed that this relationship would bring their son happiness and growth.
He Siyan stood at the gate of the Gu family home, feeling somewhat uneasy. He glanced at his watch, then at his phone, seemingly confirming the time, while also hesitating whether he should call Gu Yunxi. He hadn't made a clear appointment yesterday, and now, standing at the Gu family's gate, he felt somewhat lost.
Gu Yunxi sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while struggling internally. She regretted rushing home yesterday without waiting for He Siyan to give her a specific time to meet. Now she didn't know whether she should go out or not, and even less where to look for him if she did.
Just then, Aunt Wu came over. Her gaze pierced through the window and fell upon He Siyan standing outside the door. "Yunxi, look at that young man outside. Isn't he your classmate? He's been standing there for ages." Aunt Wu's words interrupted Gu Yunxi's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi immediately looked out the window and saw He Siyan standing at her door, pacing back and forth, looking somewhat anxious and hesitant. She immediately realized that He Siyan was probably also annoyed because they hadn't agreed on a specific time yesterday.
A smile appeared on Gu Yunxi's face, and the hesitation and regret in her heart instantly vanished. She stood up and walked quickly to the door, ready to greet He Siyan. She knew that regardless of whether they had arranged a time yesterday, today would be a wonderful beginning for them.
The moment she opened the door and saw He Siyan, their eyes met, both filled with anticipation and joy. He Siyan's anxiety instantly vanished into a smile upon seeing Gu Yunxi. He stepped forward and said softly, "Good morning, Gu. Shall we head to the amusement park now?"
Gu Yunxi nodded, her heart filled with anticipation for the day to come. The two walked out of the Gu family's gate together, embarking on their journey to the amusement park. This day would be a new beginning for them.
Gu Weiguo peered out the window through his glasses, his gaze landing on He Siyan before turning to Gu Yuanzhi, his tone tinged with curiosity and amusement, "Is this Old Master He's grandson?"
Gu Yuanzhi nodded, confirming, "Yes, Grandpa." A hint of mischief and excitement flickered in her eyes, clearly showing her curiosity and excitement about her sister's date.
Han Yulan then turned to Gu Yuanzhi, a kind smile on her face, but her tone also revealed a hint of emotion, "Erbao, do you know where your sister went?"
Gu Yuanzhi blinked and replied, "He invited my sister to the amusement park." Her voice carried a hint of envy, clearly showing her longing for the amusement park.
Upon hearing this, Han Yulan sighed, her tone tinged with a mixture of reluctance and pride, "My granddaughter has grown up so much." Her words conveyed both her感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and a sense of accomplishment) about Gu Yunxi's growth and her blessings for her granddaughter's upcoming new chapter in life.
Gu Weiguo and Han Yulan exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting joy at the children's growth and anticipation for the future. They knew that the children were maturing step by step, beginning to explore their own lives and feelings.
Gu Yuanzhi quickly finished her breakfast. She stood up, a hint of eagerness and excitement in her voice, and said goodbye to Gu Weiguo and Han Yulan. "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm done eating. I made plans to go to the library with my classmates today, so I'll be going now." Her voice was full of youthful energy and anticipation for her upcoming trip to the library with Pei Yanchuan.
Han Yulan looked up, a kind smile on her face, and nodded in response, "Take it easy on the road." Her tone was full of concern and advice for her granddaughter.
As Gu Yuanzhi packed her schoolbag, she replied, "Yes, I know, Grandma." Her movements were quick and efficient, showing her respect for time and her family.
Gu Weiguo smiled as he watched his granddaughter's hurried figure, his heart filled with admiration for the younger generation and affirmation of her independence.
Gu Yuanzhi slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, walked briskly out of the house, and set off for the library. Sunlight shone on her, and her mood, like the bright morning, was full of hope and vitality.
