Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

After the quarrel, an invisible high wall seemed to have been erected between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, completely separating them from their former intimacy. The room was filled with a depressing and heavy atmosphere, and the quarrel just now seemed to still echo in the air, the lingering sound piercing each other's hearts.

Jiang Ciyou sat in a corner of the sofa, her eyes revealing regret and confusion. Her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously, and her thoughts were like a tangled mess. She knew very well how irrational her impulse just now was. Those hurtful words were like sharp swords, which she threw at Lu Jingchen without thinking in anger. However, at this moment, she was like a little animal trapped in a maze, unable to find the exit, and didn't know how to repair the sudden rift between them.

The scene of the quarrel just now kept replaying in her mind. Lu Jingchen's hurt and angry eyes were like a sharp hook, deeply hooking her heart, making her feel pain every time she recalled it. She knew that Lu Jingchen's feelings for her were sincere and deep. He had always been like a warm harbor, giving her endless care and love when she was most vulnerable. However, her husband's sudden return home was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves, disrupting her originally calm heart lake, and also disrupting the beautiful love between her and Lu Jingchen.

She began to recall every little bit of their past together. Those mornings when they walked together on the beach, the sun shone on them, and Lu Jingchen always held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go; those romantic dinners in high-end restaurants, Lu Jingchen would carefully cut steak for her, his eyes full of doting; and when they encountered difficulties on the journey, Lu Jingchen always stood in front of her without hesitation to protect her from the wind and rain. All of this is now like a double-edged sword, making her feel more guilty about her actions just now, and making her more entangled and painful when facing her husband's return.

As for Lu Jingchen, he was like a wounded lone wolf, silently licking his wounds alone in the other corner of the room. His chest rose and fell violently, showing his inner restlessness. His hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. His heart was full of pain and anger. On the one hand, he felt betrayed by Jiang Ciyou's attitude towards her husband, and on the other hand, he was annoyed that he had just lost control of his emotions.

He didn't understand why Jiang Ciyou became so hesitant after her husband came back. In his eyes, the man had hurt Jiang Ciyou so much, like a deep scar engraved in her heart that could never be erased. He thought he had slowly healed the scar with his love and companionship, allowing Jiang Ciyou to find happiness again. But now, everything seemed different. He began to doubt his position in Jiang Ciyou's heart. Was he not doing well enough? Was his love not enough to make her completely forget the pain of the past?

He wanted to win back Jiang Ciyou's heart, wanted to tell her that his love for her was unwavering, and that he would be by her side no matter what happened. However, the hurtful words he had said during the argument just now were like a barrier between them. He didn't know how to break the deadlock, and every time he wanted to speak, he was afraid of causing another argument and making their relationship worse.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing. The sunlight shone through the window onto the floor, but it could not dispel the haze in their hearts. Jiang Ciyou secretly glanced at Lu Jingchen several times, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally lowered her head. Lu Jingchen would occasionally cast his gaze at Jiang Ciyou, but when their eyes met, he would quickly look away, as if he was afraid of touching that sensitive nerve.

The outside world was still bustling with traffic, and the noise was faintly heard through the window, but in this small room, there was only endless silence and depression. Jiang Ciyou felt as if she was bound by an invisible force. She wanted to break free and break the deadlock, but she didn't know where to start. She began to reflect on her behavior silently in her heart. She knew that her impulsiveness and indecision were the main reasons for the quarrel. She also understood that Lu Jingchen's anger and pain were not without reason. It was her attitude that made him feel hurt.

Lu Jingchen fell into deep self-reflection. He began to recall every detail of his time with Jiang Ciyou, trying to find out if there was anything he had not done well enough. He remembered that sometimes he would ignore Jiang Ciyou's feelings because of work, and sometimes he would have small frictions with her because of some trivial things. He suddenly felt that perhaps these seemingly insignificant problems, which slowly accumulated in Jiang Ciyou's heart, would make her waver when facing her husband's return. He began to blame himself, if he could be more perfect and take better care of Jiang Ciyou, perhaps the current situation would not have occurred.

Time passed by, and the atmosphere of the cold war became thicker and thicker like the thick fog in winter. Jiang Ciyou felt even more depressed. She felt as if she had lost the most important thing, but she didn't know how to find it back. She remembered a book she had read that said love is like a fine porcelain. Once cracks appear, even if it is repaired, it will leave permanent marks. She was afraid that her love with Lu Jingchen would be like this, and it would become riddled with holes because of this quarrel and ultimately irreparable.

Lu Jingchen also felt extremely painful, and his heart felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles. He knew that he couldn't just give up like that, and he needed to do something to save their relationship. However, he was afraid that his actions would cause Jiang Ciyou to be disgusted again. He paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about various possible solutions in his mind. He thought about sending flowers to Jiang Ciyou and writing a heartfelt apology letter; he also thought about taking her to their favorite place to evoke those good memories. However, he was worried that these actions would seem too deliberate or childish. After all, the problem between them was not that simple.

Night gradually fell, and darkness slowly flooded the entire room like a tide. Jiang Ciyou stood up and turned on the light. The moment the light came on, her eyes subconsciously looked at Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen also looked up, and their eyes briefly met in the air, and then quickly separated. Jiang Ciyou opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out. She walked silently to the bedroom and closed the door.

Lu Jingchen looked at the closed door, and his heart ached. He knew that this door had brought them further apart. He sat on the sofa, holding his head in his hands, and fell into deep despair. He didn't know what would happen tomorrow, nor did he know where his and Jiang Ciyou's future would go. He only knew that at this moment, his heart had been broken into countless pieces, and on each of those pieces, Jiang Ciyou's name was engraved.

During this long night, Jiang Ciyou tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Lu Jingchen's face, his smile, his gentleness, and his hurt eyes today kept appearing in her mind. Her heart was full of regret. She regretted why she quarreled with him so impulsively, and why she couldn't face her husband's return more firmly. She knew that she loved Lu Jingchen deep in her heart, but she hurt him because of a moment of confusion. She thought a lot, from their first meeting to their later acquaintance and love, every moment was like a movie playing in her mind. She didn't know how to make up for this mistake, nor did she know whether Lu Jingchen would forgive her.

Lu Jingchen spent a difficult night on the sofa in the living room. He looked at the ceiling in the dark, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He remembered the nights he and Jiang Ciyou had spent together, they would watch the stars together, share each other's dreams and thoughts. But now, all this seemed to be out of reach. His heart was full of longing and worry for Jiang Ciyou, he was afraid that he would lose her just like that. He decided that he must find an opportunity to have a good talk with Jiang Ciyou tomorrow. No matter what the result was, he didn't want this relationship to end in vain.

As the first rays of dawn poured into the room through the window, a new day began. But for Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, the shadow of the Cold War still loomed over them. Their love was facing an unprecedented test, and whether they could get out of this predicament and regain their love for each other was still unknown.
