Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 369 Lu Jingchen's Awakening

Lu Jingchen has been sinking into the abyss of self-destruction for a long time. The once high-spirited and energetic him is now swallowed up by endless pain and despair. Every morning, when the sun shines through the gaps in the curtains onto his messy bed, he is always awakened by a hangover headache and a heart full of fatigue. His room is filled with the pungent smell of alcohol and cigarettes, and empty bottles and cigarette butts are scattered all over the floor, just like his broken life at the moment.

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes, and Jiang Ciyou's figure appeared in his mind again. Those beautiful times spent with her were playing in front of his eyes like a movie. The morning when they watched the sunrise together at the beach, the sun shone on Jiang Ciyou's face, and her smile was brighter than the rising sun. They ran in the rain, snuggled up to each other and hid in a small shop on the street. Jiang Ciyou's wet hair stuck to her cheek, but she was still so beautiful that it moved his heart. Every scene of the memory was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting his heart.

However, in this endless cycle of pain, one morning, things began to change a little. Lu Jingchen woke up with a headache as usual, but when he looked in the mirror, the decadent self in the mirror made him feel extremely unfamiliar. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his eyes were bloodshot, and his chin was covered with messy stubble. His once handsome face was now only haggard and vicissitudes. His clothes were wrinkled and exuded an unpleasant smell, as if he was no longer the image-conscious and refined self.

A strong emotion suddenly surged in his heart. It was not only disgust for his current situation, but also a memory of the promise he had made. He remembered the promise he had made to Jiang Ciyou. He said that he would become someone she could rely on, give her happiness, and accompany her through every ups and downs in life. But what about now? He completely gave up on himself because of Jiang Ciyou's departure and became like this. He began to reflect, is his life really meaningless without Jiang Ciyou? Will he be defeated by a setback and sink forever?

This thought, like a ray of light in the darkness, began to slowly spread in his heart. He knew that he couldn't go on like this. He slowly walked to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. The cold water sprayed on his body, making him shiver. But this cold stimulation made him more sober. He scrubbed his body vigorously as if he wanted to thoroughly wash away his past self. He picked up the razor and carefully shaved off the stubble on his face. Every shave seemed to be cutting off his past decadence.

When he looked at the mirror again, his eyes were still tired, but there was a hint of determination. He walked out of the bathroom and began to tidy up his messy room. He cleared away the empty bottles and cigarette butts one by one, opened the window, and let fresh air flow into the room. He changed the sheets and quilts, washed them, and hung them on the balcony. Looking at the sheets fluttering in the wind, he seemed to see his life starting over again.

Lu Jingchen realized that he needed to find his own rhythm of life again. He decided to start with the most basic healthy life. He put on his sneakers and walked out of the house. The streets were still quiet in the early morning, with only a few morning exercisers running. He began to run slowly. At first, his body was still not used to it, his breathing was rapid, and his steps were heavy, but he did not give up. He kept cheering himself up and told himself to stick to it. As time went by, his pace gradually became lighter and his breathing became even. He felt the sweat sliding down his forehead, and this feeling made him feel that he was still alive and had the strength to start again.

After returning home, he did not sit on the sofa like before, but went into the kitchen and prepared a simple breakfast for himself. Although it was just simple fried eggs and bread, he ate it very seriously. He knew that this was the first step for him to return to a normal life.

After breakfast, he sat at his desk and began to think about his future. He knew that he could no longer live in a muddle-headed way like before. He needed a goal, a motivation to cheer himself up again. He looked at a book on the table that he had read with Jiang Ciyou, and an idea came to his mind. He decided to learn more knowledge and improve his abilities. He turned on the computer and began to search for various business training courses and learning materials. He signed up for an online business basics course. Although this course was somewhat difficult for him, he told himself that as long as he persisted in learning, he would be able to master it.

During the learning process, he encountered many difficulties. Those complex business concepts and theories gave him a headache, and sometimes he had to read them over and over again before he could understand them. But he did not back down at all. He remembered that when he faced difficulties, Jiang Ciyou always encouraged him and believed that he would be able to overcome them. Although Jiang Ciyou is not around now, he wants to prove himself with his actions. He took notes seriously, actively participated in the course discussions, and took the initiative to ask questions to the teacher and other students.

In addition to studying, he also began to reorganize his social relationships. He sent messages to friends he hadn't contacted for a long time, expressing his determination to get back on his feet. His friends were very supportive and provided him with a lot of useful advice and help. One of his friends introduced him to a small business project. Although the project was small, it was an opportunity for Lu Jingchen to start over.

Lu Jingchen began to devote himself to the project. He carefully studied the project information and analyzed the market demand and competition. He used his knowledge to come up with some innovative ideas and solutions. During the implementation of the project, he encountered various problems, such as insufficient funds and difficulty in staff deployment. But he was not intimidated by these problems. He looked for investment everywhere and asked experienced people for advice on personnel management methods. He constantly adjusted his strategy and overcame difficulties one after another.

As the project progressed, Lu Jingchen found that he gradually regained his former confidence and vitality. He was no longer the decadent person who was immersed in pain all day, but an entrepreneur full of fighting spirit. His efforts began to pay off, and the project gradually got on track and achieved good results. The success of this project made him recognized by some people in the industry, and he began to receive more invitations for business cooperation and social activities.

His life began to become fulfilling, with new challenges and opportunities waiting for him every day. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but he was no longer afraid. He believed that as long as he persisted and continued to work hard to improve himself, one day he would be able to become a person that satisfied himself. Even if Jiang Ciyou might not come back to him, he would live his own wonderful life.
