Chapter 574 Lu Jingchen's True Feelings
Lu Jingchen's eyes were glued to Jiang Ciyou's slightly haggard but still charming face, and he felt mixed emotions. He watched her hesitate and struggle between her husband and him, and the emotions buried deep in her heart quickly spread out like a wasteland blown by the spring breeze. Love and hate, attachment and resentment collided fiercely in his heart, but at this moment, love was like the rising sun breaking through the clouds, and gradually gained the upper hand.
He took a deep breath, as if to muster up his courage, and then slowly walked towards Jiang Ciyou. Each step was firm and heavy, as if his feet were carrying all their past memories and infinite possibilities for the future. His eyes were shining with complex light, with affection, uneasiness, and a subtle expectation.
When he finally came to Jiang Ciyou, everything around him seemed to become blurred, as if there were only the two of them in the world. He gently stretched out his hand, the hand that had held her countless times, but now with a slight tremor, he carefully held Jiang Ciyou's arm. His touch was so gentle, as if he was afraid that he would disturb her with a little force, as if he was touching a rare treasure.
Jiang Ciyou was slightly startled, and subconsciously wanted to break free, but the familiar yet unfamiliar warmth made her body stiffen instantly. She raised her head, and her eyes met with Lu Jingchen's. At that moment, she saw too many emotions in his eyes, and those emotions were like a powerful torrent that instantly drowned her.
Lu Jingchen didn't say anything, but silently pulled her through the bustling crowd to a relatively quiet corner. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the banquet, there were only a few pots of green plants quietly emitting vitality, and soft lights sprinkled on them, as if creating an independent little world for them.
He turned around and faced Jiang Ciyou, holding her shoulders gently with both hands, forcing her to look straight at him. His eyes were deep and blazing, as if he could see through her soul. "Ciyou," his voice was low and gentle, with a hint of hoarseness that was difficult to conceal, which was the surge of emotion in his throat, "I know that my previous actions may have made you feel extremely confused, or even scared."
He paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and as if he was giving Jiang Ciyou time to digest his words. "In the past three years," he continued, every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, "I have never stopped missing you for even a moment. Whether it's waking up in the morning and seeing the first ray of sunshine shining on the empty bedside, or tossing and turning at night, looking at the starry sky but unable to find your figure, you are always in my heart and have never left."
His eyes were full of affection and nostalgia, as if he was telling every moment he missed her in the past three years. "I still remember the days we spent together, those simple and happy times." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a bitter yet sweet smile, and his thoughts drifted back to the past.
"Do you remember the time we went to the beach together? The boundless blue ocean sparkled in the sunshine. You ran on the beach excitedly like a child, and your laughter floated in the sea breeze like a silver bell. You chased the waves, and every time the sea water came, you would scream and jump away happily. And I stood quietly by the side, watching you, my heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. At that moment, I wished that time could stay there forever, so that we could stay together like this until the end of time."
His eyes became a little blurry, immersed in the beauty of memories. "There was also that time when you were sick and bedridden, and your pale face made me distressed. I was so anxious that I wanted to do something for you, so I decided to cook porridge for you myself." At this point, he couldn't help laughing, with a hint of self-mockery in his laughter, "But my poor cooking skills almost burned the kitchen. I was busy in the kitchen, and I burned my hands and then burnt the porridge. But when I saw you drinking that bowl of unpalatable porridge with a gentle smile, I felt that everything was worth it. At that moment, I swore that I must take good care of you and not let you get hurt."
Lu Jingchen's eyes returned to Jiang Ciyou, and the affection in his eyes became stronger. "Ciyou, I don't care about your leaving, nor do I care about the hurt you caused me by the huge check. Those are all in the past. I only know that in my life, you are the irreplaceable existence. I just hope that we can have a chance to start over, so that I can use my life to make up for all the pain you have suffered and rewrite our story."
He used his hands to pull Jiang Ciyou closer to him, their bodies almost touching. He could feel her trembling body and hear her rapid breathing. He lowered his head and gently pressed his forehead against hers. Their eyes were close and their breaths blended together. "Give me a chance, okay?" His voice was as light as a feather, but as heavy as if it carried the weight of the whole world.
Jiang Ciyou's heart was filled with ripples. The emotions that she had buried deep in her heart were completely awakened by Lu Jingchen's words and actions at this moment. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her, and the beautiful memories she had spent with him were constantly playing in her mind like a movie. She remembered the warm embrace when they watched the sunrise together at the beach; she remembered the happy smiles when they shared delicious food in the restaurant; she remembered the feeling of peace of mind when they accompanied each other on the journey.
There was a hint of tenderness and hesitation in her eyes. She knew that deep in her heart she had always longed to start over with Lu Jingchen. His sincerity was like a key that opened the closed door in her heart. However, the pain of the past and the fear of uncertainty in the future were like two invisible ropes that bound her hands and feet tightly, making her dare not take that step easily. She didn't know what would be waiting for them in the future if she chose Lu Jingchen again. Would she make the same mistake again? Would she experience betrayal and hurt again? These worries were like shadows, shrouding her heart and causing her to fall into a deep struggle.
She bit her lip and looked up at Lu Jingchen, her eyes full of hesitation. She wanted to say something, wanted to tell him her true feelings, but her throat seemed to be choked by something and she couldn't say a word. She could only stand there quietly, feeling Lu Jingchen's gaze and body temperature, with mixed feelings in her heart, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.
