Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Jiang Ciyou felt that her world had never been so chaotic. She sat in the beautifully decorated living room, everything around her seemed so quiet, but her heart was like the waves in a storm, surging endlessly. The light sprinkled softly on her, but it could not dispel the haze in her heart.

She thought of every detail of Lu Jingchen's past. His eyes, which were always smiling, became firm and powerful when she encountered difficulties; his warm embrace seemed to be able to protect her from all the storms in the world; and his care for her that he inadvertently revealed, those subtle movements and words, were like strands of sunshine, slowly penetrating into her originally closed heart. However, every time she wanted to devote herself to this relationship, the pain of being betrayed in the past was like an invisible wall, standing in front of her. She was afraid that all these seemingly beautiful things would eventually turn into bubbles, and she would fall into endless pain again.

This kind of conflicting and tangled emotions made her feel like she was about to suffocate. She knew that she couldn't bear it alone any longer, so she picked up her phone and called her best friend Lin Yue.

"Yueyue, I've encountered some things recently, and I'm very confused. Can you talk to me?" Jiang Ciyou's voice was filled with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

Lin Yue could tell something was wrong with her on the other end of the phone and quickly said, "Ciyou, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I'll come find you right away."

Not long after, the doorbell rang. Jiang Ciyou opened the door and saw Lin Yue standing at the door with a concerned look on her face. Lin Yue walked into the room, pulled Jiang Ciyou to sit on the sofa, looked at her haggard face, and asked distressedly: "What happened? You look very bad."

Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and told Lin Yue everything about her and Lu Jingchen, from their first meeting to everything he did for her later, as well as her doubts about his identity and the threat from her husband.

Lin Yue listened quietly, and the expression on her face kept changing as Jiang Ciyou spoke. When Jiang Ciyou finished speaking, Lin Yue gently held her hand and said, "Ciyou, I know you are in pain now, but you can't be careless about emotional matters. Lu Jingchen's identity is indeed very suspicious, and it is normal for you to have doubts."

"But, Yueyue, he is really good to me, I can feel his sincerity." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were glistening with tears and his voice was a little choked.

"I understand, but you can't let your emotions get to your head. Think about it, you were betrayed by your husband before, do you want to experience that feeling again? What's more, Lu Jingchen's identity is so complicated, what will you do if he has some ulterior motives?" Lin Yue's eyes were full of worry.

Jiang Ciyou lowered her head and remained silent. She had thought about these questions before, but whenever she faced Lu Jingchen, her heart softened involuntarily.

"Ciyou, I'm not telling you not to trust him, but you have to think carefully. You have to think about your own future and safety. Maybe you can try to keep some distance from him, figure things out first and then make a decision." Lin Yue continued to persuade.

Jiang Ciyou raised his head, looked at Lin Yue, and nodded gently: "I know, Yueyue, thank you. I just... don't know how to face him. Every time I see him, I feel conflicted."

"I understand how you feel, but you must stay calm. You can focus on your career first and distract yourself. Don't let this matter affect your life." Lin Yue patted Jiang Ciyou on the shoulder and comforted him.

The two chatted for a while. Seeing that Jiang Ciyou's mood had stabilized a little, Lin Yue stood up and said goodbye: "Ciyou, have a good rest. Call me anytime if you have anything. Remember, I will always be by your side to support you."

Jiang Ciyou saw Lin Yue off to the door, and watched her leave with gratitude in her heart. She returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and thought about Lin Yue's words, and became even more confused. She knew that Lin Yue was doing this for her own good, but she couldn't just give up Lu Jingchen like that.

She thought of her longing for love and her desire for happiness. Should she give up the possible happiness in front of her just because of these doubts and worries? But if she didn't give up, what if she was really hurt again as Lin Yue said?

Jiang Ciyou's mind kept popping up Lu Jingchen's figure, his smile, his gentleness, his affection, every picture made her heart tighten. She didn't know how to balance the relationship between love and reality, and she didn't know how to choose so that she wouldn't be hurt, while at the same time holding on to this hard-won relationship.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the lights in the city lit up one by one, but Jiang Ciyou was still immersed in her own thoughts, unable to extricate herself. She knew that this night would be another sleepless night...
