Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The night was like a huge piece of black silk, gently covering this coastal town. The sea breeze, with a hint of coolness, passed through the half-open window, fluttering the curtains, like the gentle caress of the sea. The homestay where Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen lived was a small wooden structure. The dim light in the house shone through the white lampshade, casting a warm halo, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet night.

The baby was already sleeping peacefully in the next room, curled up in the soft quilt, with a rosy face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, perhaps immersed in a sweet dream. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen quietly closed the door of the baby's room and sat down at the small table in front of the window.

The moonlight was like water, pouring down without reservation through the thin clouds, covering them with a layer of silver gauze. Jiang Ciyou slightly turned sideways and looked at Lu Jingchen. The moonlight just outlined the soft contours of her face. The deep affection in her eyes was like a bottomless lake, sparkling. Her voice was as soft as the whisper of the sea breeze, but full of endless attachment: "Jingchen, thank you for staying with me for so many years. Without you, I really don't know what to do."

Lu Jingchen's heart trembled suddenly, as if the moonlight touched the softest corner of his heart. He stretched out his hand, and with his slender and warm fingers, he gently brushed away a strand of hair that fell in front of Jiang Ciyou's forehead and tucked it behind her ear. His movements were so gentle that he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility. His eyes were always fixed on hers, and the love in his eyes was hot and firm, like a burning flame that could dispel all the coldness in the world. He leaned forward slightly and gently held her in his arms, as if he was embracing the whole world. His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, and he whispered softly, and that voice seemed to be a vow from the depths of his soul: "Silly, we are a family. Along the way, you have also given me countless warmth and strength."

Jiang Ciyou leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat. The past years unfolded slowly before her eyes like a picture scroll. She remembered the despair she felt when her husband betrayed her on her wedding night. The happy future she had been looking forward to was ruthlessly shattered in an instant. She felt like a lonely boat abandoned by the whole world, drifting in the storm, unable to find a harbor to dock.

"At that time, I really felt like the sky was falling." Jiang Ciyou's voice trembled slightly. Recalling the pain she had experienced, her eyes couldn't help but become red. "I gave so much to that wedding and prepared everything with joy. When I was choosing the wedding dress, I was still imagining how happy our future life would be, but I didn't expect..." Her words stopped abruptly, and her throat seemed to be choked by something. The painful memory was still like a thorn, piercing her heart.

Lu Jingchen's arms tightened slightly, as if he wanted to use his embrace to build a solid defense for her to resist the pain she had suffered in the past. He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head, which was full of heartache and pity. "I know, Ciyou, you must have had a hard time in those days." His voice was low and hoarse, with deep empathy for her, "But fate is so wonderful that it allowed me to appear when you needed me the most."

Jiang Ciyou raised her head slightly, tears flashing in her eyes, but with a hint of smile, like a flower blooming after the rain, weak yet tough. "Yeah, do you remember the first time we met? In that bar, I just wanted to find a way to have fun and forget the pain, but I didn't expect to meet you." The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

A smile flashed in Lu Jingchen's eyes, which were the exclusive memories of the two of them. "When I first saw you, I was attracted to you. Your stubborn and beautiful temperament made me want to get closer to you." His fingers gently stroked Jiang Ciyou's arm, as if he was recalling the heartbeat when they first met.

"At first, I just wanted to use you as a tool to avenge him and fill the emptiness in my heart." Jiang Ciyou's eyes flashed with guilt. She lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheeks. "But, slowly, I found that you are different from what I imagined. You always try your best to make me happy and accompany me when I am most sad."

Lu Jingchen gently lifted her chin and made her look back at his. "I have never blamed you, Ciyou. I know you have been hurt, and I just want you to be happy again." His eyes were sincere and honest, as if he could see through all the anxiety and guilt in her heart.

In the following three years of carefree time, they traveled to many places together, and those beautiful memories were like bright stars, embellishing their lives. They strolled on the streets of Paris, admired the art treasures of the Louvre, and felt the unique charm of the romantic city; in the fog of London, they walked hand in hand into the ancient library and immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge; in Times Square in New York, they watched the flashing lights on the big screen and cheered to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

"Those three years were the happiest time of my life." Jiang Ciyou's eyes sparkled with happiness, as if he was holding those beautiful memories in his hands. "We have seen so many beautiful scenery together and experienced so many interesting things together. It was you who helped me find the meaning of life again."

Lu Jingchen gently held her hand, interlocking their fingers, as if to tightly entwine their fates. "That is also my most precious memory, Ciyou. With you, every day is full of surprises and happiness." His eyes were full of tenderness, as if he wanted to drown her in this affectionate gaze.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. They also experienced many quarrels and separations. Those days were like dark clouds that briefly covered their sky. Jiang Ciyou remembered that once, they had a fierce quarrel over a trivial matter, neither of them gave in, and finally she packed her bags and left in anger.

"After I left that time, I felt really bad. I thought we were over." A trace of pain flashed across Jiang Ciyou's eyes. Her fingers unconsciously grasped Lu Jingchen's hand, as if she was afraid of losing him again. "But, I found that I can't leave you at all. After leaving you, my world became dark."

Lu Jingchen placed her hand on his cheek and gently stroked it, his eyes full of regret. "Me too, Ciyou. After you left, I realized how important you are to me. I regret why I was so impulsive and didn't communicate with you properly." His voice was choked with sobs. The quarrels and separations in the past made him know how to cherish the happiness in front of him.

There was also the time when Jiang Ciyou's husband suddenly returned to China and tried to win her back, which put their relationship into a huge crisis. Jiang Ciyou fell into a deep tangle, on the one hand, there was the pain and responsibility of the past, and on the other hand, there was her love for Lu Jingchen.

"At that time, I really didn't know what to do. I didn't want to hurt you, nor did I want to go against my own heart." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of helplessness. That painful decision made her exhausted. "I know that my attitude towards you made you very sad, but I was really confused."

Lu Jingchen sighed softly, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but more of understanding. "I understand, Ciyou. Although I was very angry and sad at the time, I know you were also very upset. I was just afraid of losing you, so I did those impulsive things." His hand gently stroked Jiang Ciyou's back, as if to comfort her once injured heart.

Fortunately, they finally went through all the ups and downs hand in hand. At the birthday party of the richest man, the truth was revealed, and Lu Jingchen's true identity surprised everyone. Jiang Ciyou then realized that he had been silently protecting her. For her, he was willing to hide his identity and accompany her through all the ups and downs.

"When I found out about your identity, I was really shocked, but more of a moved person." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of affection. She looked up at Lu Jingchen, and the love in her eyes was like burning stars. "You have done so much for me, but you have never asked for anything in return. How can I deserve your love?"

Lu Jingchen hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. "Ciyou, you deserve all the good things in this world. I am willing to do anything for you, just because I love you." His voice was firm and powerful, like a vow, echoing in this quiet night.

Today, they have a happy family, a lovely baby, and a thriving career. But they know that all this has not come easily. They have worked together and overcome all difficulties with love and courage.

"Jingchen, we must cherish our current life." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of determination. She seemed to be making a promise to Lu Jingchen, and also seemed to be warning herself, "The ups and downs along the way have made me understand that happiness is not easily obtained. We must protect it with our heart."

Lu Jingchen nodded heavily, his eyes showing the same determination. "Don't worry, Ciyou, I will always be by your side, protecting you and the baby, and protecting our family." He held Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly again, as if conveying his determination.

The moonlight is still like water, sprinkling on them, witnessing their deep affection and gratitude. They embraced each other quietly, grateful for the gift of fate, which allowed them to meet, know each other, and stay together. The pain and frustration they had experienced in the past have turned into the most precious wealth in their hearts at this moment, making them know how to cherish this hard-earned happiness. The road ahead is still long, but they know that as long as they join hands with each other, nothing can stop them from pursuing happiness.

In this warm atmosphere, Jiang Ciyou gradually closed her eyes, with a satisfied smile on her lips, and leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms at ease. Lu Jingchen gently adjusted his posture to make her lean more comfortably. He always looked at her gently, his eyes full of doting. Outside the window, the sea breeze was still blowing gently, and the waves hit the coast, making a pleasant sound, as if playing an eternal movement for their love.

After a long while, Lu Jingchen carefully picked up Jiang Ciyou, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world, and walked towards the bedroom. He gently put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, gently kissed her forehead, and then lay beside her, hugging her tightly. Accompanied by the moonlight, they gradually fell into a sweet dream. In the dream, they still had their happy future and those beautiful memories that would never fade.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window and onto their faces, awakening the couple who were immersed in happiness. Jiang Ciyou slowly woke up, looking at Lu Jingchen who was still sleeping beside her, her eyes full of love. She got up gently, not wanting to wake him up, walked to the window, stretched her body, and breathed in the fresh sea breeze. She knew that a new day had begun, and they would continue to write their happy story, with gratitude to each other and love for life, striding towards the future. And those past events will be forever engraved in their hearts, becoming their driving force, making their tree of love more flourishing and blooming with eternal light.
