Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

In the early morning, Jiang Ciyou got up early. She stood on the balcony of her bedroom, looking at the beautiful flowers in the garden outside the window. The breeze blew, bringing bursts of sweet fragrance, but her thoughts drifted away. Thirty years, like a colorful and magnificent painting, slowly unfolded before her eyes. Those laughter and tears, setbacks and glory, have turned into dazzling pearls in the long river of life, each carrying an unforgettable memory.

Lu Jingchen beside him also came to the balcony at some point. He gently hugged Jiang Ciyou, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly: "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed?" Jiang Ciyou came back to her senses, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand to cover Lu Jingchen's hand and said softly: "I was thinking, we have been through so much along the way, it's time to leave something for the future." Lu Jingchen was slightly startled, then he understood what she meant, a glimmer of light in his eyes: "You mean, time capsule?" Jiang Ciyou nodded gently: "Yes, let future generations know our story and pass on this love and courage."

The family gathered in the garden, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of golden light, as if to add a layer of dreamy filter to this warm scene. The grandchildren, like a group of cheerful little sparrows, surrounded Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

"Grandpa and grandma, what is a time capsule?" the little granddaughter asked in a baby voice, blinking her big watery eyes.

Jiang Ciyou squatted down, held his granddaughter in his arms, and explained with a smile: "Baby, a time capsule is like a magical time treasure box. We put the things we think are precious now in it, bury it underground, and wait for many, many years later, when it is dug out, people at that time will be able to understand our current life through the things inside."

"Wow, this is so fun!" the children cheered excitedly.

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen took the children back to the house and began to carefully select the items to be put into the time capsule. Jiang Ciyou walked into the study and took out a thick photo album from the bottom shelf. The cover of the album was a little worn, and the corners were slightly yellowed, but it revealed a charm of years. She gently opened the album, and the photos inside recorded every detail of their family: there was a sweet photo of her and Lu Jingchen at the beach when they were newly married. At that time, they smiled brightly and their eyes were full of longing for the future; there were cute looks of the children when they first learned to walk and changed their teeth when they were young; there was also a warm scene of the family sitting around the dining table, laughing and celebrating the festival... Behind each photo, there is a warm or touching story. Jiang Ciyou's fingers gently stroked the photos, tears flashing in her eyes. These are their most precious treasures.

Lu Jingchen walked into the storage room and pulled out an old wooden box, which contained some small items he had collected over the years: a jade pendant he wore as a child, its warm color seemed to still retain the warmth of his childhood; an already somewhat worn diary, which densely recorded the hardships and persistence he experienced in the early days of his business. The words written in pen were blurred in some places due to tears or sweat, making them all the more precious; there was also a suicide note his mother left for him. On the yellowed paper, his mother's gentle and firm handwriting gave him strength in his darkest moments, allowing him to always believe in the existence of love and hope.

The children were not idle either. They searched through the boxes and cabinets in their rooms and found their beloved treasures. The little grandson held his favorite dinosaur toy and said reluctantly but firmly: "This is my best friend. I want to put it in so that future children will know how much I like dinosaurs." The little granddaughter held a family portrait she drew. The family members in the painting all had big smiles. Although the colors were a little childish, they were full of innocence and love. She blushed and said: "This is my painting of our family. I hope that people in the future can see it and feel the happiness of our family."

The family came to the garden again. Under an old tree with lush branches and leaves, Lu Jingchen picked up a shovel and started digging a hole. His movements were steady and powerful, with fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. The sun shone on his body, outlining his tall figure. Jiang Ciyou watched from the side, her eyes full of tenderness and attachment. She whispered to the children: "Do you know that this tree was planted by grandpa when he was young? Just like he guarded our family, it has been growing strong and healthy." The children listened, their eyes full of admiration, and they gathered around the tree, watching their grandfather digging a hole.

After the pit was dug, Jiang Ciyou carefully placed photo albums, diaries, letters, children's toys and paintings into a special metal box. With each item she placed, she felt a complex emotion, both reluctance to part with the past and expectations for the future. Lu Jingchen brought a piece of waterproof cloth and carefully wrapped the box to ensure that the items inside would not be damaged.

Then, the family gathered around the pit, Lu Jingchen held Jiang Ciyou's hand, and the children snuggled up to them, and everyone slowly put the time capsule into the pit. Jiang Ciyou picked up a shovel, scooped up a handful of soil, and gently sprinkled it on the capsule. With tears in her eyes, she whispered: "May this love and courage travel through time and space and be passed on forever." Lu Jingchen also picked up a shovel and filled the soil with Jiang Ciyou, and the children also stretched out their hands to help fill the soil.

After filling the soil, Jiang Ciyou, Lu Jingchen and the children planted a circle of colorful flowers where the capsules were buried. When the breeze blew, the flowers swayed gently, as if guarding this treasure that carried family memories.

After finishing all this, the family sat on a bench in the garden to rest. Jiang Ciyou's eyes inadvertently swept to the sky in the distance, and saw a gorgeous sunset rising from the horizon, like a huge oil painting, dyeing the sky red. The light of the sunset was reflected in the garden, covering every flower and every leaf with a layer of golden coat, and the whole world seemed to be immersed in a dreamy atmosphere.

Jiang Ciyou gently leaned on Lu Jingchen's shoulder and said with emotion: "Chen, look at this sunset, it's so beautiful. Just like our life, although there have been storms, but in the end we have ushered in such a splendid moment." Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly and said gently: "Yes, all this is thanks to you. It's you who made my life so complete and so beautiful."

The children were laughing and playing nearby. The little granddaughter ran to Jiang Ciyou with a small drawing board and said in a baby voice, "Grandma, I want to draw this sunset and put it together with the painting in the time capsule, so that people in the future can see the beautiful scenery we saw today." Jiang Ciyou smiled and touched her granddaughter's head: "Okay, baby is really sensible."

Lu Jingchen looked at the children with love in his eyes: "They are like the light of our hope. Let this love continue forever." Jiang Ciyou nodded in agreement: "I hope that no matter what difficulties they encounter in the future, they can remember the time capsule buried today, draw strength from it, and bravely pursue their dreams."

At this time, the housekeeper came over and reminded softly: "Sir, Madam, dinner is ready." The family stood up and walked hand in hand to the dining room. In the dining room, the table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the flickering candlelight reflected the happy faces of the family.

After dinner, the children went back to their rooms to rest. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen went to the garden for a walk. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the path in the garden, as if it was covered with a layer of silver carpet. Jiang Ciyou raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said thoughtfully: "Chen, what do you think the world will look like when the time capsule is opened in a few decades?"

Lu Jingchen raised his head slightly, looked deeply at the night sky, and said softly: "I think, no matter how the world changes, love and courage will always be the most precious things. Just like us back then, we faced so many difficulties, but we also made it all the way, didn't we?" Jiang Ciyou sighed softly: "Yes, the hardships of those years seem like a dream now. But it is precisely because of those experiences that we have become stronger and cherish our current life more."

The two walked slowly along the path, recalling the past. Suddenly, Lu Jingchen stopped and pointed to a corner not far away and said, "Do you remember there?" Jiang Ciyou looked in the direction he pointed and saw a small pavilion, which was surrounded by roses and exuded a faint fragrance under the moonlight. A smile flashed in her eyes: "Of course I remember, that's where we had our first date."

Lu Jingchen took Jiang Ciyou's hand and walked to the pavilion to sit down. He gently put his arm around Jiang Ciyou's shoulders and said softly, "You were wearing a white dress that day, and you were as beautiful as a fairy. I was so nervous that I almost couldn't hold the flowers." Jiang Ciyou gently hit him and said with a smile, "I was just saying that. Your face was so red at that time that I thought you were sick." The two smiled at each other, and the laughter echoed in the night sky, as if they had returned to that youthful and beautiful night.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the petals of the roses fell one after another, like a romantic flower rain. Jiang Ciyou reached out her hand, caught a petal, and gently stroked it in her palm, her eyes full of tenderness: "Chen, it is my greatest luck to meet, know, and love you in this life." Lu Jingchen held her hand, sandwiched the petal between their palms, and said affectionately: "Me too, you are the brightest star in my life, illuminating all my darkness."

Under the moonlight, the two hugged each other tightly, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful moment. They knew that time would pass and the world would change, but their love would remain unchanged, just like the flowers in the garden and the bright moon in the sky. The time capsule buried today will carry their hopes and dreams, become the bond of family heritage, and one day in the future, once again open a legend of love and courage.

Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, her eyes full of determination: "We must protect this family well so that the children can have a happy life like us." Lu Jingchen nodded, his eyes revealing the same determination: "Of course, our love will continue."

As the night deepened, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked back to the house hand in hand. Their figures were stretched out very long in the moonlight, as if telling a love story that would never end. The time capsule in the garden lay quietly underground, waiting for the call of the future, witnessing the changes of time and the inheritance of the family.
