Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The afterglow of the evening shines through the French windows, gently onto the desk in the study, casting a layer of warm golden light on the documents in Jiang Ciyou's hands. She frowns slightly, concentrating on reviewing a business cooperation proposal, and her pen occasionally marks the edge of the document. During this period, she has to balance her growing career on the one hand, and take good care of the little life growing in her belly on the other. Being busy has become the norm in her life.

Perhaps because she had been sitting in the same position for a long time, Jiang Ciyou suddenly felt a little sore in her waist. She gently put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, and subconsciously touched her slightly bulging abdomen with her right hand and rubbed it gently. At this moment, her fingertips suddenly felt a very slight tremor, like a butterfly flapping its wings gently in her palm, or like the slightest ripples on the lake surface caused by the spring breeze.

Jiang Ciyou froze in an instant. She stared at her belly with eyes wide open in disbelief, and her breathing became softer unconsciously, fearing that she would disturb this magical moment. A few seconds later, the gentle tremor came again, and this time, she was absolutely sure that it was the baby in her belly moving!

"Lu Jingchen!" Jiang Ciyou's voice was trembling with excitement. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She walked out of the study barefoot and shouted towards the living room.

Lu Jingchen, who was reading a parenting book on the sofa in the living room, heard the call, immediately threw down the book, stood up, and stepped in front of Jiang Ciyou. His eyes were full of concern, and he held Jiang Ciyou's shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously: "What's wrong, Ciyou? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Ciyou's eyes were slightly red. She grabbed Lu Jingchen's hand and pulled him towards the study, her voice filled with unconcealed joy: "Come on, the baby is moving!"

Lu Jingchen's steps suddenly stopped, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, and then was replaced by great surprise. His hand was tightly held by Jiang Ciyou, and he walked all the way to the chair in the study.

"Really? Can I feel it?" Lu Jingchen's voice was a little tense. He squatted down beside Jiang Ciyou carefully, staring at her belly without blinking, with his hands suspended in the air, as if he was afraid that his rough hands and feet would disturb the baby.

Jiang Ciyou gently pulled his hand over, slowly placed his warm palm against her abdomen, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, calm down and feel it."

Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He stared at Jiang Ciyou's belly intently, his eyes full of expectation and tenderness. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the whole study was so quiet that only the slight breathing of the two could be heard.

Suddenly, Lu Jingchen's eyes widened. He felt the extremely weak but very real fetal movement! It was like a tiny seed breaking out of the soil, with vigorous vitality, gently hitting his palm.

"She's moving! Ciyou, the baby is really moving!" Lu Jingchen's voice trembled slightly with excitement, tears flashing in his eyes, as if he had discovered the most precious treasure in the world. He leaned close to Jiang Ciyou's belly, his ears almost touching it, as if he wanted to capture every movement of the baby more clearly.

"I heard it. There seemed to be a gurgling sound. Is that the baby talking?" Lu Jingchen whispered curiously like a child, with pure joy on his face.

Jiang Ciyou was amused by his appearance, and gently combed his hair with her fingers, her eyes full of love: "Silly boy, that's your illusion, the baby is still young, how can he speak."

Lu Jingchen didn't care at all. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Ciyou with burning eyes: "This is the first time I feel her presence so clearly. Ciyou, I'm so happy." As he spoke, his eyes became redder again.

Jiang Ciyou gently stroked his cheek, feeling touched. She knew that Lu Jingchen had always been looking forward to this child. In order to let her rest assured and take care of the baby, he almost took care of all the chores at home. No matter how busy he was at the company, he would take time out every day to walk with her, chat with her, and read stories to the baby.

"I want to record this precious moment." Lu Jingchen seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly stood up, rummaged in the drawer of the study for a while, and took out a small and exquisite miniature recorder.

"This recorder has a very good sound quality. I've been thinking that I must record the sound when the baby moves." Lu Jingchen explained while adjusting the recorder. His fingers trembled slightly, but he was very serious, as if he was performing an extremely sacred ceremony.

Jiang Ciyou looked at his focused look, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She leaned back in her chair again, her hands gently wrapped around her belly, her eyes full of maternal radiance.

After Lu Jingchen adjusted the recorder, he squatted beside Jiang Ciyou again, put the recorder close to her belly, his eyes full of piety: "My dear daughter, Daddy is here, move again, let Daddy hear your voice more."

As if the baby heard his call, it moved gently a few times. Lu Jingchen was so excited that he almost cried out. He quickly pressed the recording button and stared at the flashing indicator light on the recorder, afraid of missing any details.

"I recorded it, Ciyou, I really recorded the baby's fetal movement!" Lu Jingchen stood up, his face filled with pride and joy. He listened to the recording several times, and the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

"When the baby grows up, we will play this recording for her to let her know how much her parents have loved her since she was in her mother's belly." Lu Jingchen carefully placed the recorder on the table, as if it were a rare treasure.

Jiang Ciyou smiled and nodded: "She will definitely be very happy to have such a caring father like you."

Lu Jingchen sat down next to Jiang Ciyou again, his hand gently covering hers, and the two of them felt the baby's movements together. At this moment, the study was filled with warmth and happiness, and the sunset outside the window stretched their figures long, like a beautiful painting.

"Baby, you have to grow up well. Mom and dad are waiting for you to come into this world." Lu Jingchen whispered to Jiang Ciyou's belly, his voice so gentle that it seemed to drip water.

Jiang Ciyou leaned on his shoulder, her eyes full of longing: "I really want to see her soon. I imagine her little appearance. She must be very cute."

"She must look like you, with big eyes and long eyelashes." As Lu Jingchen said this, his daughter's appearance had already appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Maybe he'll be like you, and a handsome little smart guy in the future." Jiang Ciyou joked with a smile.

The two of them discussed the baby's future, their eyes full of expectations for a new life. The sky outside the window gradually darkened, the lights of the city gradually lit up, and in this small study, love and hope were shining.

"Are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat." Lu Jingchen suddenly remembered something and stood up and said. During this period, Jiang Ciyou's appetite had become a little picky, so he specially learned a lot of recipes for nutritious meals for pregnant women, just to make her happy.

"A little bit. I suddenly want to eat the shrimp wontons you made." Jiang Ciyou touched his stomach and said with some anticipation.

"Okay, wait, I'll do it right away." Lu Jingchen kissed her forehead lightly, turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Jiang Ciyou looked at his departing back, her heart filled with warmth. She gently stroked her belly and said softly, "Baby, look how much daddy loves us. From now on, we will be a happy family of three."

In the kitchen, Lu Jingchen put on an apron and prepared the ingredients skillfully. He washed the fresh shrimp, removed the shrimp thread, chopped it into a fine shrimp paste, added chopped green onion and ginger, soy sauce, salt, sesame oil and other seasonings, and stirred it clockwise. On the chopping board next to him, there was a wonton wrapper that had been rolled out as thin as a cicada's wing.

Lu Jingchen was skilled at making wontons. The small and exquisite wontons were formed in his hands and neatly arranged on the tray. After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and he gently put the wontons into the pot and stirred them gently with a spoon to prevent them from sticking.

While the wontons were cooking, he quickly prepared a bowl of wonton soup, and the delicious aroma of chicken soup filled the kitchen.

"Ciyou, the wontons are ready, come and eat." Lu Jingchen brought the steaming wontons to the dining room, carefully arranged the tableware, and helped Jiang Ciyou sit down at the dining table.

Jiang Ciyou looked at the wontons in front of her, which were delicious in color, aroma and taste, and her appetite increased greatly. She took a bite gently, and the delicious soup spread in her mouth. The tenderness of the shrimp meat and the strength of the wonton skin were perfectly blended.

"Is it delicious?" Lu Jingchen sat opposite, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Well, it's delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better." Jiang Ciyou gave a thumbs up and praised.

Lu Jingchen smiled. Seeing Jiang Ciyou eating happily, he also felt satisfied: "As long as you like it, I will make different delicious food for you every day in the future."

While eating wontons, the two continued to share their vision for the baby's future. The warm yellow light in the restaurant shone on them, outlining a warm and beautiful picture, as if all the troubles in the world were isolated, leaving only this overflowing happiness.

After dinner, Lu Jingchen accompanied Jiang Ciyou for a walk in the community. The night air was fresh and cool, and the street lights in the community emitted a soft light, stretching their shadows to different lengths.

"After the baby is born, we will take her out for a walk every night and let her look at the stars." Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's hand and said softly.

"Okay, maybe she will be interested in astronomy and become an astronomer in the future." Jiang Ciyou responded with a smile.

The two walked slowly along the road in the community, and occasionally neighbors passing by would cast envious glances at them. Along the way, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen had experienced too many twists and turns. Now, they have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and are about to welcome the arrival of a new life and start a new chapter in their lives.

After returning home, Jiang Ciyou was a little tired. Lu Jingchen helped her sit down on the sofa and covered her with a soft blanket. He turned on the TV, tuned to a channel playing soothing music, and poured a cup of warm milk and handed it to Jiang Ciyou.

"Drink some milk, it will help you sleep. The baby moved today and you are tired too." Lu Jingchen said gently.

Jiang Ciyou took the milk and took a sip. The warm liquid flowed down her throat, making her feel extremely comfortable. She leaned on the sofa, watching Lu Jingchen busy packing things in the living room, her heart full of gratitude.

"Jingchen, thank you. I feel very happy to have you by my side." Jiang Ciyou said softly.

Lu Jingchen stopped what he was doing, walked to the sofa and sat down, gently hugging Jiang Ciyou into his arms: "Silly, what are you talking about? This is what I should do. You and the baby are the most important people in my life, and I will always protect you."

Jiang Ciyou nodded gently in his arms and closed her eyes. At this moment, she felt extremely peaceful. With Lu Jingchen's company, she believed that the days ahead would be filled with more beauty and surprises. And the baby in her belly was also growing quietly in this full of love, waiting for the moment to come into the world.
