Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

The sun was high in the sky, pouring its blazing rays unreservedly over the urban villages on the edge of the city. The narrow streets and alleys twisted and turned like a maze, with shaky old houses on both sides. The walls were covered with mottled traces of time, and moss spread wildly in the corners, as if telling of the forgotten time here. The wires were crisscrossed in the air in a disorderly manner, and occasionally a few wisps of green smoke would emerge due to excessive load, adding a bit of danger to the dilapidated scene.

Jiang Ciyou stood in the middle of the land that was about to be transformed. Under her feet was the dry and cracked land. The dust was clearly visible under the sunlight. She was wearing a simple and capable white suit. Her long black hair was neatly tied behind her head. Her face was not made up, but it was hard to hide the firmness and confidence that radiated from inside to outside. Although the sun was scorching and her back was soaked with sweat, her eyes were always focused and blazing, staring closely at the ground in front of her where the foundation was being laid.

Beside her, a group of workers were busy shuttling back and forth, their tools making noisy noises as they collided with the ground. They had dark skin, and sweat flowed freely on their faces and backs, leaving clear traces, but everyone's eyes were shining with expectations for the future. Not far away, a large excavator made a dull roar, the huge mechanical arm slowly rose, and the bucket fell heavily, digging the ground to make room for new hope.

Jiang Ciyou personally laid the foundation for the "Xingchen Charity School". She held a shovel, bent down, scooped up a handful of soil, and solemnly spread it next to the foundation stone. The moment the soil fell, it seemed as if a seed of hope was planted, carrying the dream of countless children to change their destiny. At this moment, a young woman walked towards her quickly. The woman was a little thin, but her eyes showed tenacity. She walked in front of Jiang Ciyou, and her slightly trembling lips seemed to be trying to restrain her excitement.

"Are...are you Ms. Jiang Ciyou?" The woman's voice was choked with sobs.

Jiang Ciyou turned around, looked at her gently, and nodded gently: "I am, who are you?"

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes instantly. She took a step forward, hugged Jiang Ciyou tightly, and cried: "Do you still remember me? I am Xiaoyan, the girl who almost went astray back then. If it weren't for you, my life might have been ruined..."

A glimmer of memory flashed in Jiang Ciyou's eyes. She patted Xiaoyan's back gently and comforted her softly: "I remember you, Xiaoyan. I'm really happy to see you like this now."

Many years ago, Jiang Ciyou accidentally met Xiaoyan on the street. Xiaoyan was a minor at the time, but she was in trouble due to her family's poverty and was almost deceived by bad people. At that moment, Jiang Ciyou seemed to see her helpless self. She did not hesitate to lend a helping hand, not only giving Xiaoyan material help, but also spending a lot of time and energy to enlighten her, help her get back on track, and fund her to complete her studies.

Xiaoyan let go of Jiang Ciyou, wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, and a bright smile blossomed on her face: "You sponsored me to go to college and gave me a chance to start a new life. From then on, I vowed to work hard to become a useful person to society. Now, I have graduated from college and passed the teacher qualification certificate. I will come back here to become a teacher in this public welfare school and pass on the hope you gave me to more children like me."

Jiang Ciyou was deeply moved. She held Xiaoyan's hand and nodded vigorously: "That's great, Xiaoyan. This school needs a caring and determined teacher like you. The children are lucky to have you."

As they were talking, Lu Jingchen came striding over carrying a heavy toolbox. He wore a simple white short-sleeved shirt, his muscle lines were more obvious against the background of sweat, and a pair of dark blue jeans with the bottoms rolled up, revealing his wheat-colored ankles. His hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair soaked by sweat and sticking to his forehead, but he was still handsome, and at this moment, there was only the figure of Jiang Ciyou in his deep eyes.

"Wife, I'm here to help!" Lu Jingchen walked to Jiang Ciyou, put down the toolbox, took her into his arms, and gently kissed her on the forehead.

Jiang Ciyou raised his head slightly, looked at him and smiled: "You are such a busy man, how come you have time to come to the battle yourself today?"

Lu Jingchen raised his eyebrows and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "How can I not come on such an important day? Besides, for the sake of our public welfare cause, I have to make time no matter how busy I am." As he said, he opened the toolbox, took out a hammer and some nails, turned around and joined the workers to help pave the ground of the playground.

Jiang Ciyou looked at Lu Jingchen's busy back, her eyes full of love. She knew that Lu Jingchen had been silently supporting her every decision over the years, whether it was her hard work in business or her dedication to charity, he always stood by her without hesitation and fought side by side with her.

Under the scorching sun, Lu Jingchen worked hard with the workers. He swung the hammer, hammering the nails into the wooden board again and again, each time firmly and powerfully. His back was already soaked with sweat, and his white short-sleeved shirt stuck tightly to his body, outlining his broad back. Occasionally, he would stand up, wipe the sweat from his forehead with his arm, and turn to look at Jiang Ciyou. When their eyes met, they conveyed endless tenderness and tacit understanding.

At this moment, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, pressing down heavily, and a strong wind swept over, blowing the dust and debris on the ground into the sky. Jiang Ciyou looked up and thought to himself, "It's going to rain, everyone quickly find a place to shelter from the rain!"

The workers put down their tools and ran to the nearby makeshift shed. Lu Jingchen grabbed Jiang Ciyou's hand and took her to the scaffolding not far away. As soon as the two hid under the scaffolding, bean-sized raindrops fell down, splashing high water on the ground in an instant.

Rain kept flowing down the cracks of the scaffolding, soaking their clothes. Jiang Ciyou couldn't help but shiver. Seeing this, Lu Jingchen hurriedly hugged her tightly in his arms, using his body to shield her from the wind and rain. His arms were warm and solid. Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

"Are you cold?" Lu Jingchen lowered his head and asked softly in Jiang Ciyu's ear.

Jiang Ciyou shook his head, raised his head and looked at him, with a different light flashing in his eyes: "It's not cold, it's not cold as long as you are here."

Lu Jingchen's heart moved, and he lowered his head and kissed her. The rain hit their faces and bodies, but it couldn't extinguish the burning love in their hearts. This kiss was passionate and affectionate, as if they were back to the rainy night bar where they first met.

At that time, Jiang Ciyou had just experienced betrayal on her wedding night. She walked into a bar full of pain, wanting to drown her sorrows in alcohol. And Lu Jingchen also met her that night. The dim lights and noisy music in the bar became the background of their story. Jiang Ciyou drank one glass after another, with despair and helplessness in her eyes. Lu Jingchen was deeply attracted to her and took the initiative to talk to her. Under the influence of alcohol, the two spoke freely. Jiang Ciyou confided her inner pain, and Lu Jingchen listened quietly and comforted her with warm words.

That rainy night, their hearts were close for the first time. And now, under the scaffolding in the heavy rain, they hugged and kissed each other again, looking back on the hardships and sweetness along the way, their hearts were full of emotion.

The rain gradually subsided, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the sun shone through the clouds, covering the earth with a layer of golden light. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen walked out of the scaffolding and looked at the construction site washed by rain, their hearts full of hope.

"After this rain, everything will be brand new." Jiang Ciyou said softly.

Lu Jingchen held her hand, smiled and nodded: "Yes, just like our life, after going through ups and downs, it will only be better."

They returned to the construction site and continued to work. Jiang Ciyou discussed the subsequent construction plan with the workers. Her eyes were focused and determined, and she did not miss any details. Lu Jingchen helped to carry the construction materials. His figure shuttled back and forth on the construction site, full of strength.

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed a brilliant orange-red. After a busy day, the workers finish their work one after another. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stand in the middle of the construction site, looking at the "Xingchen Charity School" that has taken shape, and their hearts are filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"You've worked hard today, let's go home." Lu Jingchen gently put his arm around Jiang Ciyou's shoulders.

Jiang Ciyou nodded, turned around and left the construction site with him. Their figures were stretched out very long in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if telling the story of their journey, and also foreshadowing that more beautiful things were waiting for them to create in the future.

After returning home, Jiang Ciyou leaned on the sofa tiredly. Lu Jingchen thoughtfully poured her a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand: "Drink some hot tea and relax."

Jiang Ciyou took the tea and took a sip. The warm feeling instantly spread throughout her body. She looked at Lu Jingchen with gratitude in her eyes: "If it weren't for you today, I really don't know what I would do."

Lu Jingchen sat down next to her, held her hand, and said gently: "Silly, we are husband and wife. No matter what happens, I will be with you."

The two smiled at each other, and a warm atmosphere filled the whole room. At this moment, they didn't need to say much, as they already understood each other's intentions. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they walked hand in hand, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

Late at night, Jiang Ciyou lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. The scenes at the construction site during the day kept appearing in her mind, the hard-working figures of the workers, Xiaoyan's hopeful eyes, and the image of Lu Jingchen shielding her from the rain. Everything made her feel a great sense of responsibility.

She turned over gently, looking at Lu Jingchen who was sleeping beside her, and swore in her heart: She must run the "Xingchen Charity School" well, so that more children can get out of poverty and have a bright future. This is not only her commitment to this land, but also an explanation to Lu Jingchen and all those who support her.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the windowsill, as if it was also cheering her up. Jiang Ciyou closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and gradually fell asleep. In her dream, she saw the "Xingchen Charity School" was completed and opened, and the children's laughter echoed in the campus. That was the most beautiful picture in her heart...

The next morning, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto Jiang Ciyou's face. She slowly opened her eyes, and a new day began. She got up gently, fearing that she would wake up Lu Jingchen who was still sleeping. After a simple wash, she went to the study and began to busy herself with the follow-up matters of the charity school.

She consulted various materials, communicated with team members, and developed detailed teaching plans and teacher training programs. She repeatedly considered every link and strived to achieve perfection. Unconsciously, the sun had risen high, and Lu Jingchen pushed open the study door and walked in.

"Wife, you're so busy so early in the morning. Don't overwork yourself." Lu Jingchen walked behind Jiang Ciyou, put his hands gently on her shoulders, and massaged her.

Jiang Ciyou raised his head, looked at him and smiled, "I'm fine. If we arrange these things earlier, school can start earlier. By the way, what are your plans for today?"

Lu Jingchen thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the company to take care of some things today, and I'll be back to accompany you in the afternoon. If you're done, remember to take a rest."

Jiang Ciyou nodded: "Okay, go ahead and don't worry."

Lu Jingchen kissed her forehead gently and turned to leave the study. Jiang Ciyou looked at his back, her heart full of warmth. She knew that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, as long as they supported each other, they would be able to realize their dreams.

In the following days, Jiang Ciyou devoted herself to the construction of the public welfare school. She ran around to raise funds, recruit volunteers, and was busy with every detail of the school. Lu Jingchen also tried his best to provide help in his spare time, either contacting partners to donate materials or personally going to the school construction site to supervise the progress.

Finally, after several months of intense preparation, the "Xingchen Charity School" welcomed the opening day. The campus was decorated with lights and colorful flags. The children came to school early in the morning wearing brand new school uniforms and with innocent smiles on their faces. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stood at the school gate to welcome every child.

Watching the children happily walk into the campus, Jiang Ciyou's eyes sparkled with tears. This has been her dream for many years, and now it has finally come true. Lu Jingchen gently held her hand, giving her strength and support.

"Thank you, husband." Jiang Ciyou turned her head and said to Lu Jingchen.

Lu Jingchen smiled and shook his head: "This is our common dream. I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in such a meaningful thing."

The two walked into the campus hand in hand to attend the school's opening ceremony. On the playground, the children lined up neatly, their eyes full of desire for knowledge. Jiang Ciyou walked up to the podium and looked at the children below, his heart full of emotion.

"Dear children, welcome to the 'Xingchen Charity School'. Here, you will open the door to knowledge and pursue your dreams. No matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that you are not alone, and there are many people who care about you and support you. I hope you will study hard and become a useful person to society in the future." Jiang Ciyou's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the campus.

There was warm applause from the audience, and the children expressed their vision for the future and their gratitude to Jiang Ciyou in the most innocent way. Lu Jingchen stood in the audience, looking at Jiang Ciyou on the stage, his heart full of pride. He knew that the woman in front of him was not only his beloved wife, but also a person with great love in her heart. She changed the fate of countless people with her actions.

After the opening ceremony, the children walked into the classroom and started their first class. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen inspected the classrooms one by one, and they were filled with joy when they saw the children listening attentively.

"From now on, this will be the place where children's dreams will set sail." Jiang Ciyou said softly.

Lu Jingchen nodded: "Yes, we must protect this field of hope together."

Since then, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen have often come to the school to care about the children's study and life. They have organized various activities for the children and donated books, stationery and other school supplies to make the children feel cared for and warm.

With their efforts, "Xingchen Charity School" gradually got on the right track, and students graduated from here one after another and went to a broader world. The love between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen also deepened with each effort and harvest. They used their actions to interpret what true love and responsibility are, and became role models in people's hearts.

As time goes by, the story of "Xingchen Charity School" continues, and the legend of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen is passed down from generation to generation in this city, inspiring more people to bravely pursue their dreams and convey love and hope.
