Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

On this seemingly ordinary night, the long-suppressed conflict between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen finally broke out, like a long-accumulated volcano erupting in an instant, shaking the seemingly indestructible emotional world between them to the point of collapse.

Dinner time was supposed to be a warm family time, but it was filled with a tense atmosphere. Jiang Ciyou prepared dinner early, and the table was filled with dishes that Lu Jingchen liked. She sat at the table, her eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and worry. Recently, the company's affairs were numerous, and the relationship between her and Lu Jingchen became increasingly subtle, all of which made her exhausted.

Lu Jingchen came home very late as usual. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Ciyou sitting at the dining table with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. Jiang Ciyou couldn't help but complain: "You always come home so late recently, are you so busy with company affairs?" There was a hint of complaint and grievance in her voice.

Lu Jingchen was already upset because of work, and when he heard Jiang Ciyou's complaints, his anger suddenly rose. He frowned and retorted: "I came back so late because of work. Do you think I want to be so tired?" His voice was a few notes higher than usual, full of impatience.

Jiang Ciyou felt even more aggrieved when she heard this. She felt that Lu Jingchen did not understand her concerns at all, and did not realize that there was a problem in their relationship. She raised her voice and said, "Work, work, is work all you have in mind? We haven't sat down to have a good meal and chat for a long time."

Lu Jingchen was angered by Jiang Ciyou's words. He felt that Jiang Ciyou was making trouble for no reason. He said angrily: "I work hard for our future, but you are blaming me now. How can you be so unreasonable?"

Jiang Ciyou's tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "I am unreasonable? Have you ever thought about my feelings? There is not even the most basic communication between us now."

Lu Jingchen felt a little sorry for Jiang Ciyou crying, but his anger still prevailed. He felt that he was already under a lot of pressure at work, and he shouldn't have to face Jiang Ciyou's accusations when he got home. He stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh sound on the ground. He slammed the door and left angrily, leaving Jiang Ciyou alone sitting at the dining table crying.

Jiang Ciyou looked at the heavily closed door, her heart filled with despair. She didn't understand why things had turned out like this between them. The sweetness and warmth they once had seemed like a thing of the past. Her tears kept flowing down, dripping onto the food on the table. At this moment, she had lost her appetite, and just sat there blankly, constantly recalling what had just happened in her mind.

After Lu Jingchen rushed out of the house, a cold wind blew in his face. His mind was a little clearer, but the anger in his heart still did not dissipate. He walked aimlessly on the street, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that his behavior just now was a bit extreme, but he felt that Jiang Ciyou should not blame him when he was so tired. He began to reflect on the relationship between himself and Jiang Ciyou, and found that there were indeed more and more conflicts between them recently, and they did not properly solve these problems.

After returning home, the house became cold and deserted. Instead of going to the bedroom as usual, Lu Jingchen went to the guest room. He opened the door of the guest room, walked in and slammed the door. He lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, his heart full of regret. He knew that his behavior might cause great harm to their relationship, but he didn't know how to make up for it.

When Jiang Ciyou heard Lu Jingchen coming back, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She thought Lu Jingchen would come into the bedroom and have a good talk with her. However, when she heard the door of the guest room being closed, the glimmer of hope in her heart was instantly shattered. She knew that the cold war between them had begun.

Since then, they started a cold war. The atmosphere at home became extremely depressing, and the room that was once full of laughter became cold and deserted. In the morning, they no longer ate breakfast together as before, but each prepared their own things silently and then went out. In the company, they also tried to avoid contact with each other. Even if they had to communicate at work, they only said a few necessary words briefly and indifferently, and then left quickly.

Their friends and colleagues noticed something was wrong with them. Their friends tried to persuade them, but they just responded indifferently and had no real intention of solving the problem. In the company, the employees also felt the tension between the bosses, which made the atmosphere of the whole company depressing.

Jiang Ciyou put more of her energy into work, trying to numb her emotions with work. She worked late every day and tried to avoid returning to the home full of the Cold War atmosphere. The same was true for Lu Jingchen, who worked desperately in the company, trying not to think about the conflict between him and Jiang Ciyou.

However, the more they wanted to escape, the more intense the pain in their hearts became. Every night, when they lay alone in their beds, they would involuntarily think of each other's kindness. Jiang Ciyou would think of Lu Jingchen's tenderness and consideration for her, and the good times they spent together kept emerging in her mind. Lu Jingchen would also think of Jiang Ciyou's smile and their mutual support when they faced difficulties together. However, because of their self-esteem, they were unwilling to bow their heads and make peace first.

As time went by, the atmosphere of the Cold War did not ease, but became more serious. The relationship between them was like a frozen castle, seemingly solid, but full of crisis. They didn't know when the castle would completely collapse because of a small touch, and they didn't know whether they could regain their former love.

During this cold war, their lives became boring. The two people who were once full of energy have now become depressed and tired. Their friends saw it and were anxious, but they didn't know how to help them break the deadlock. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen themselves gradually lost their way in this painful cold war.

The employees in the company began to talk about their bosses in private. Some people were worried that the company would be affected by the conflict between the bosses, after all, their company was at a critical stage of development. Others speculated about what happened between them, and various versions of rumors spread in the company. These rumors also reached the ears of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, which made their relationship more complicated.

Jiang Ciyou tried hard to maintain her image in the company, but her heart was full of pain. She knew that she couldn't let the company's employees see her vulnerability, but she didn't know how to face her relationship with Lu Jingchen. The same was true for Lu Jingchen. He still acted strong in the company, but he was constantly struggling in his heart.

At an important company meeting, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen had to sit next to each other. The atmosphere between them was extremely tense, as if the air had frozen. During the meeting, they hardly made any eye contact, just focusing on the content of the meeting. However, they occasionally accidentally touched each other's arms, and every touch would cause ripples in their hearts. This subtle feeling made them even more at a loss, and they didn't know how to deal with this familiar yet strange feeling.

After the meeting, Jiang Ciyou hurriedly left the meeting room, fearing that she would lose her composure in front of Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou's departing back, feeling helpless. He knew he couldn't go on like this, but he didn't know where to start.

As the cold war continued, the distance between them seemed to grow. Not only physically, but also mentally. They began to make some independent decisions in life and work, instead of consulting each other as before. This situation of each doing their own thing also had a certain impact on the development of the company, and some mistakes that could have been avoided began to occur.

Seeing Jiang Ciyou so depressed, her best friend couldn't help but persuade her: "Ciyou, it's not a good idea for you and Lu Jingchen to continue like this. There must be misunderstandings between you. Why don't you find a chance to talk it out?" Jiang Ciyou smiled bitterly and said, "I want to, but I think our relationship is already very strained now, and I don't know how to start." Her best friend sighed and said, "If you continue to be so stubborn, you may lose him. You have to know that the relationship between you is hard-earned." Jiang Ciyou felt a pang of pain in her heart after hearing what her best friend said. She knew that her best friend was right, but her self-esteem prevented her from taking that step.

Lu Jingchen's friend also tried to persuade him. His friend said, "Jingchen, what happened between you and Jiang Ciyou? You were so good before, but now you are like enemies. You are a man, you should take the initiative." Lu Jingchen frowned and said, "I also want to take the initiative, but I feel that she doesn't understand me at all. I work so hard outside, but she only knows how to blame me." His friend shook his head and said, "You are both angry and don't think about the problem from the other's perspective. If you really love her, you should put down your airs and have a good talk with her." Lu Jingchen listened to his friend's words and fell into deep thought.

However, despite their friends' persuasion, the cold war between them continued. They seemed to be trapped in a vicious circle and could not find a suitable way to break the deadlock. Their lives continued in pain and depression, and they did not know when they would be able to turn things around.

By chance, Jiang Ciyou saw Lu Jingchen's car in the company's parking lot. A complex emotion surged in her heart, including longing, resentment, and a hint of expectation. She stood there, staring blankly at the car, and the scene of them sitting in the car together emerged in her mind. At that time, they talked and laughed, full of happiness. But now, they are like strangers.

Lu Jingchen also saw Jiang Ciyou, and his heart was also filled with mixed emotions. He wanted to walk over and talk to Jiang Ciyou, but his footsteps seemed to be nailed and he couldn't move. They just stood there at a distance, staring at each other silently. At this time, the parking lot was silent, with only the sound of their heavy breathing.

After a while, Jiang Ciyou broke the silence first. She whispered, "How is the company's project going recently?" Lu Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Not bad, how about you?" Their conversation was still brief and cold, but this was the first time they took the initiative to talk to each other since the cold war.

This brief exchange did not substantially improve their relationship, but it did cause a crack in the wall in their hearts. They began to realize that they could not continue like this and they needed to find a way to resolve the problems between them.

However, neither of them knew how to take the next step. Their self-esteem and inner conflicts were still at work, making them hesitant on the road of love. Their cold war was still going on, like a lingering haze, covering their lives and work.

In the process, their company also faced some new challenges. Competitors began to take advantage of their conflicts and launched some attacks on their company. This made Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen more aware that they must solve their problems as soon as possible, otherwise not only their relationship would be affected, but the company might also suffer greater losses.

Jiang Ciyou began to re-examine the relationship between herself and Lu Jingchen. She realized that she had done a lot wrong in the previous quarrel. She shouldn't just see that Lu Jingchen came home late without considering his work pressure. She shouldn't blame him when Lu Jingchen was tired, which would only intensify the conflict between them.

Lu Jingchen was also reflecting on his own behavior. He knew that he was too impatient and did not communicate well with Jiang Ciyou. He should also be more understanding of Jiang Ciyou's concerns instead of blindly refuting her. He began to realize that the relationship between them required the joint efforts of both parties to maintain, rather than relying on the efforts of one person.

However, despite this realization, the cold war between them has not ended. They are still waiting for the right time, a time when they can put aside their pride and be honest with each other.

At a company party, all the employees were enjoying themselves. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen also attended the party, but they still kept their distance. They sat in different corners and chatted with their colleagues. However, their eyes always drifted towards each other unconsciously.

During the party, an employee suggested playing an interactive game. This game required everyone to divide into groups and then carry out some cooperative tasks. Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen were unexpectedly assigned to the same group. They were a little nervous, but it was difficult to refuse.

During the game, they had to interact with each other. They slowly began to let down their guard and tried to cooperate as before. This feeling of cooperation made them feel familiar and warm. They began to realize that the tacit understanding between them was still there, but it was covered by the haze of the Cold War.

After the game, the atmosphere between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen became a little subtle. They were no longer as indifferent as before, but they had not yet returned to their previous intimacy. They were both thinking about the revelation brought to them by this game. They knew that their relationship needed to be repaired, but it was not an easy task.

As the party ended, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen returned to their respective life tracks. They were still in a cold war, but they both had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They knew that they needed more time and opportunities to repair their relationship, and they were willing to try hard for this relationship.

However, their lives are still full of uncertainty. They don't know what will happen in the future, nor do they know whether they can truly overcome the damage caused by the Cold War and regain their former love. They can only slowly grope their way forward in this long and painful Cold War, hoping to find the opportunity that will bring them back together.
