Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

After several hours of driving, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen finally arrived at the fascinating seaside town. The car slowly drove into the town, and Jiang Ciyou couldn't wait to roll down the window. The fresh and slightly salty sea breeze instantly blew in her face, gently brushing her hair, like a warm greeting from the sea. She took a deep breath, her face filled with childlike innocence and excitement, and turned to Lu Jingchen and said, "Jingchen, the air here is so fresh, it feels like all the fatigue has been blown away at once." Lu Jingchen looked at her dotingly, his eyes full of smiles, and responded, "Yes, it seems that this trip has chosen the right place, I hope you will like it."

The streets of the town are narrow and quaint, as if they were a quiet painting that had been precipitated over the years. On both sides are colorful small houses, each of which seems to have been overturned by nature. Pink, blue, yellow... intertwined and arranged in a patchwork manner. Flowers are placed on the windowsills of every household. Those flowers are red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow. They sway gently in the breeze, exuding bursts of rich fragrance, as if telling passers-by about the warmth and beauty of the town. Jiang Ciyou is like an elf who has broken free from her shackles. She holds Lu Jingchen's hand and shuttles through the streets. Her eyes are sparkling, as if she can hold all the novelties in the world. Stop for a while to appreciate the paintings of street artists. Those paintings have different styles. Some are abstract seascapes, using bold colors and unrestrained brushstrokes to outline the magnificence and depth of the sea; some are delicate character sketches, capturing the simplicity and innocence of the town residents when they work. Jiang Ciyou was fascinated by the paintings and exclaimed from time to time. She sincerely praised: "These paintings are so full of vitality. Every stroke seems to contain the creator's love for life." Lu Jingchen stood beside her, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, art comes from life, and it is fully reflected here."

After a while, Jiang Ciyou was attracted by the exquisite handicrafts in the shop. Each shop was like a treasure box, filled with a wide variety of objects. There were wind chimes carefully carved from shells. When the breeze blew, they made a crisp and pleasant sound, as if the sea was singing softly; there were dream catchers woven with colorful silk threads, with mysterious dreams woven in the fine mesh, which seemed to capture people's beautiful dreams; there were also small ornaments made of wood carving, which vividly showed the characteristics of the town, and the scenes of fishermen going out to sea and dolphins jumping into the sea were vivid. Jiang Ciyou picked up this one, but couldn't put that one down, her eyes full of love and entanglement. Lu Jingchen saw what she was thinking and said with a smile: "If you like it, buy them all and keep them as a souvenir of our trip." Jiang Ciyou smiled a little embarrassedly: "Maybe there are too many, but they are really beautiful." In the end, with Lu Jingchen's encouragement, Jiang Ciyou selected several favorite handicrafts and left the shop happily.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun is like a layer of golden veil, gently dyeing the entire sea surface orange-red. The waves are like a group of happy children, chasing each other and gently hitting the beach, making a pleasant "swooshing" sound, and rippling layers of snow-like waves. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked hand in hand along the coastline. Their figures were stretched out by the setting sun, leaving a series of deep and shallow footprints on the beach, as if they were the marks of their love along the way. At this time, the world seemed to be quiet, leaving only the sound of waves, wind and each other's heartbeats.

By chance, they met an old lady selling shell jewelry. The old lady sat on a small stool by the beach, with a blue cloth in front of her, which was filled with all kinds of exquisite shell necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The old lady's face was full of wrinkles of the years, but her eyes were bright and energetic, revealing kindness and kindness. When she saw Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen approaching, a warm smile immediately broke out on her face, and she enthusiastically introduced the shell necklace in her hand to them: "My children, these are all made by me. These shells are all collected by me at the beach for many years, and each shell carries the blessing of the sea. Look, the pattern of this shell looks like a blooming flower, which means that your love is blooming like a flower; and this one, its color is particularly pure, symbolizing that your feelings are pure and flawless." Jiang Ciyou was deeply moved by the sincerity of the old lady. She squatted down and looked at the shell jewelry carefully, her eyes full of amazement and love. After being polished and strung together by the old lady's skillful hands, these shells have become unique pieces of art, each of which exudes the scent of the sea.

Jiang Ciyou picked out two necklaces, one for herself and one for Lu Jingchen. She picked up the necklace that she was going to give to Lu Jingchen. The shells sparkled with a warm luster in the afterglow of the setting sun. She whispered, "Jingchen, this necklace is for you. I hope it can protect you with the blessing of the sea, just like the old lady said." Lu Jingchen took the necklace, his eyes full of emotion. He gently put another necklace on Jiang Ciyou, his fingers gently brushed her hair, and whispered, "This is a gift from the sea to you, just as precious as you are a gift from God to me. In my heart, nothing is more important than you." Jiang Ciyou's cheeks were slightly red, and tears of happiness flashed in her eyes. She leaned on Lu Jingchen's shoulder and admired the intoxicating sea view together.

At this moment, on the distant sea level, several seagulls spread their wings and soared, their figures were particularly agile under the reflection of the setting sun. Jiang Ciyou looked at the seagulls and said with emotion: "Jingchen, look at those seagulls, how free they are, they fly freely in this sea, unrestrained. Sometimes I really envy them." Lu Jingchen gently stroked her hair and said: "Youyou, in fact, we are also very free now. We can go anywhere we want to go and do anything we want to do, just like these seagulls, enjoying our life." Jiang Ciyou nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on her face: "You are right, I am the happiest when you are by my side."

They continued to stroll along the coastline. Occasionally, there would be small crabs washed ashore by the waves on the beach, crawling sideways quickly, making Jiang Ciyou laugh. Lu Jingchen looked at her happy face, his heart full of tenderness. He suddenly stopped, faced Jiang Ciyou, held her shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "Youyou, I want to tell you that this trip means a lot to me. After experiencing so many ups and downs, we can still hold hands like we do now, and appreciate such beautiful scenery. I am really grateful. I hope that every day in the future will make you as happy as today." Jiang Ciyou's eyes flashed with tears of emotion. She nodded gently, choked and said: "Jingchen, me too. I never thought that I could have such happiness. You are the most beautiful accident in my life, and I will always cherish the time we spend together."

As she spoke, Jiang Ciyou took the initiative to stretch out her arms and hugged Lu Jingchen tightly. Lu Jingchen also hugged her back tightly, as if he wanted to use this hug to integrate her into his life. At this moment, their love was sublimated in this beautiful seaside town, just like the sea under the sunset, deep and hot. Accompanied by the sound of the waves, they just hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's heartbeats, and enjoying this moment of tranquility and sweetness.

As the night gradually fell, the stars in the sky twinkled and lit up, like gems inlaid on the black sky. The temperature at the seaside gradually dropped. Lu Jingchen gently let go of Jiang Ciyou, took off his coat, put it on her shoulders, and said gently: "It's cold at night, don't catch a cold." Jiang Ciyou smiled and looked at him, her heart full of warmth. They walked back along the way they came. The streets of the town were lit up with dim street lights, and the lights swayed in the night, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

When passing by a small restaurant, the tempting aroma of food wafted out. Jiang Ciyou's stomach growled at the right time, and she smiled a little embarrassedly. Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "You must be hungry. How about we go in and try the local specialties?" Jiang Ciyou nodded in agreement. Walking into the restaurant, the decoration inside was simple and warm. There were some local scenery photos hanging on the walls, and the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. The boss greeted them warmly and recommended dishes to them in Mandarin with a local accent: "You two should try our seafood noodles. The noodles are chewy, and the seafood is just caught from the sea today, so it's very fresh; and this steamed fish, the meat is tender, I guarantee you will want to eat it again." Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen looked at the menu, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a bottle of local specialty fruit wine.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another. The soup of the seafood noodles was rich and mellow, and the noodles were of moderate thickness. They were covered with fresh shrimp meat, clam meat and squid tentacles, exuding an attractive aroma. The steamed fish was even more attractive in color. The fish was sprinkled with shredded green onions, ginger and red pepper. After being drizzled with hot oil, it sizzled and the aroma was fragrant. Jiang Ciyou couldn't wait to taste the seafood noodles. The delicious taste spread in her mouth. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, this is so delicious. It is indeed a local specialty." Lu Jingchen looked at her satisfied look and smiled and said: "Eat slowly, don't choke, there are so many dishes." As he said, he poured Jiang Ciyou a glass of fruit wine. The fruit wine was light pink and exuded a fresh fruity aroma. Jiang Ciyou picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The fruity and wine aromas blended perfectly, and the taste was sweet, which made her feel more happy.

As they savored the food, they shared their feelings about the day. When Lu Jingchen talked about seeing Jiang Ciyou running through the streets excitedly like a child, his eyes were full of doting: "Youyou, you are really cute today. Seeing you so happy, I think everything is worth it." Jiang Ciyou blushed and smiled, "I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. Being with you, I seem to have regained the carefree feeling of my childhood." The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of love. In this cozy little restaurant, they enjoyed the food and each other's company, as if time had stopped for them.

After finishing their meal, they walked out of the restaurant hand in hand. The night in the town was exceptionally quiet, and occasionally the sound of waves and a few dogs barking could be heard from afar. They slowly walked back to their accommodation, which was a homestay near the sea. The wooden architectural style exuded simplicity and nature. The yard of the homestay was full of various flowers and plants, exuding a faint fragrance in the night. Walking into the room, the room was warm and comfortable, with a large bed covered with white sheets, and an oil painting of the seaside hanging at the head of the bed. The window faced the sea, and when the curtains were opened, the sparkling sea surface under the moonlight could be seen.

Jiang Ciyou walked to the window, opened it, and the sea breeze blew in gently, caressing her face. Lu Jingchen hugged her gently from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "Youyou, good night, I hope you have a good dream tonight." Jiang Ciyou turned around, put her arms around Lu Jingchen's neck, and said gently, "Jingchen, good night, with you by my side, every day is a good dream." They hugged each other, and gradually fell into a sweet dream in this gentle sea breeze. This encounter and beauty of the seaside town will always be engraved in their hearts, becoming a shining pearl in their long river of love.
