Chapter 669 Gradually Shaking
After coming out of the small shop filled with the aroma of coffee and the warm atmosphere, Jiang Ciyou couldn't calm down for a long time. Lu Jingchen's heartfelt confession was like a huge rock thrown into the lake of her heart, stirring up ripples and making her heart, which was originally as calm as still water, stir up waves again.
At night, Jiang Ciyou lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and the past with Lu Jingchen kept emerging in her mind. Those scenes seemed to be cast by magic, and they were projected in front of her eyes frame by frame with great clarity.
In the bar where they first met, the lights were dim and flickering, and the music was deafening. Jiang Ciyou, filled with pain and the urge for revenge, searched the crowd for targets that could be used. And Lu Jingchen just broke into her sight without any warning. He was tall and handsome, but his eyes revealed a trace of loneliness that was out of tune with the noisy environment. At that moment, Jiang Ciyou's heart skipped a beat for no reason, but at that time, she was full of hatred for her ex-husband's betrayal, and only regarded Lu Jingchen as a tool, a tool that could help her vent her pain and regain her self-esteem.
In the days that followed, they went on vacation to the beach together. The sun was scorching, the beach was golden, and the waves surged onto the beach one after another, then slowly retreated, leaving behind strings of glittering foam. Lu Jingchen held her hand, running and playing on the beach, and his laughter echoed in the air. When she was tired, she lay on the beach chair. He carefully opened the parasol for her and handed her a glass of cold juice, his eyes full of doting. Jiang Ciyou looked at the blue sky like a gem, and the ice in her heart that was built by betrayal began to crack.
Another time, Jiang Ciyou was sick and bedridden, feeling groggy and extremely uncomfortable. In a daze, she felt a warm hand gently touching her forehead, testing her body temperature and changing the towel, with gentle and skillful movements. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Lu Jingchen's eyes full of worry and fatigue. He stayed by her bed and stayed awake all night just to take care of her as soon as she was uncomfortable. At that moment, Jiang Ciyou's eyes were moist, and a voice deep in her heart whispered quietly: This man is really good to her.
However, whenever these beautiful memories came to her mind, Jiang Ciyou's joy would always be replaced by fear in an instant. The pain of being betrayed by her husband was like a scar that was difficult to heal, piercing her heart from time to time. She was afraid that if she devoted herself to love again, she would still be ruthlessly hurt and abandoned. She knew that behind the sweetness of love, there might be bitterness that could make people fall into eternal damnation.
The morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto Jiang Ciyou's slightly haggard face. She rubbed her sore eyes and struggled to get up. A new day had begun, but her heart was still filled with contradictions and entanglements.
After washing up, Jiang Ciyou sat at the dining table, looking at the breakfast in front of her, but she had no appetite. The phone screen lit up, and it was a message from a friend, asking about the progress between her and Lu Jingchen. Jiang Ciyou slid her fingers across the screen, but she didn't know how to reply. At this time, another message popped up, it was Lu Jingchen's greeting: "Ciyou, good morning, I hope you are in a good mood today. If you have any troubles, feel free to contact me." These simple words made Jiang Ciyou's heart tremble violently.
After much hesitation, Jiang Ciyou put down her phone and decided to go out for some fresh air. She walked aimlessly on the street, watching people coming and going, and became more and more confused. Unconsciously, she walked to the park she used to go to with Lu Jingchen.
In the park, there are green trees, lush flowers and plants, and the lake is sparkling. Jiang Ciyou walked slowly along the path by the lake, and the scene of strolling and chatting with Lu Jingchen in the past reappeared. Suddenly, a scene not far away attracted her attention. An old couple supported each other and sat down on a bench by the lake. The old man took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the corners of the old lady's mouth, his eyes full of tenderness and love. The old lady smiled at the old man, her eyes full of deep affection accumulated over the years. They didn't say too much, just such a simple action, but it conveyed endless warmth and happiness.
Jiang Ciyou's eyes unconsciously became moist, and she remembered what Lu Jingchen once said: "I want to walk through every day of the future with you, no matter the wind and rain, and never leave you." At this moment, the balance in her heart began to tilt quietly.
After returning home, Jiang Ciyou sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought. She knew that she could not escape like this any longer. She saw and felt Lu Jingchen's sincerity clearly. Those beautiful memories and warm moments were real, not illusory dreams. And she really longed to have happiness again, to have someone she could rely on and trust.
Finally, Jiang Ciyou picked up her phone and opened Lu Jingchen's chat window. Her fingers trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, she typed a line of words: "Jingchen, I've figured out some things, let's find time to talk." After sending it, her heart was pounding, she was both nervous and excited.
Not long after, Lu Jingchen replied: "Okay, I'm always free, just set the time and place." Looking at this message, Jiang Ciyou's mouth corners unconsciously raised, and a long-lost light flashed in his eyes.
In the following days, Jiang Ciyou began to take the initiative to contact Lu Jingchen. She would ask if his work was going well, and remind him to eat on time and take a rest. The communication between the two was no longer stiff and awkward as before, but full of warmth and sweetness.
Once, Lu Jingchen was so busy at the company that he worked non-stop for an important project and barely slept for days and nights. When Jiang Ciyou learned about it, she bought his favorite snacks and rushed to his company. When she walked into the office and saw Lu Jingchen's exhausted face, she felt distressed.
"Jingchen, don't work too hard. Your health is important." Jiang Ciyou said softly, placing the snacks on the table.
Lu Jingchen raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and emotion: "Ciyou, you are here. Seeing you makes me feel less tired all of a sudden."
The two smiled at each other, and at that moment, the office seemed to be filled with a pink sweet atmosphere. Since then, they have spent many such ordinary but happy moments together, and their relationship has become closer and warmer like a vine in spring.
Jiang Ciyou's friends noticed her change and teased her: "Look at you, you are so radiant now. The nourishment of love is really different." Jiang Ciyou blushed and smiled without saying anything. She knew that she had gradually let go of her worries and concerns, opened her heart again, accepted Lu Jingchen, and accepted this hard-won love. As for the future, although there are still unknowns and challenges, as long as she joins hands with Lu Jingchen, she has the courage to face everything.
