Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 252: The Cold War Begins

After the quarrel, the two fell into a cold war. Jiang Ciyou returned to her room alone, feeling aggrieved. She felt that she had paid a lot for this relationship, but she could not get Lu Jingchen's understanding.

Jiang Ciyou sat on the bed, looking out the window with empty eyes. She recalled every bit of her time with Lu Jingchen over the past three years, and those beautiful moments kept flashing in her mind like a movie. They strolled along the beach together, feeling the breeze and listening to the sound of the waves; they tasted delicious food in a high-end restaurant together, enjoying the romantic atmosphere; they spent countless warm nights together, telling each other their secrets. However, now all this seems to have become distant and unfamiliar.

Jiang Ciyou didn't understand why Lu Jingchen couldn't understand her efforts. She had been fighting for their future and working hard, hoping to create better living conditions for them. However, Lu Jingchen only saw her dedication to work and ignored her inner exhaustion and helplessness. It's not that she didn't value him, but she felt that in this fiercely competitive society, only by continuous efforts can one gain a foothold.

Jiang Ciyou's heart was full of contradictions and confusion. She didn't know what to do, whether to continue to stick to her position or to admit her mistakes to Lu Jingchen. She didn't want to lose this relationship, but she didn't want to give up her principles either. She fell into a deep tangle and couldn't extricate herself.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingchen was sulking in another room. He thought Jiang Ciyou had changed and was no longer the gentle and considerate woman she used to be. He remembered that when they first got together, Jiang Ciyou always put him first and considered his feelings no matter what she did. But now, she was becoming more and more indifferent and cared less about him. He felt that his position in her heart had been replaced by work, which made him feel very lost and frustrated.

Lu Jingchen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Jiang Ciyou's figure kept appearing in his mind, her smile, her gentleness, her stubbornness, every picture made him heartbroken. He didn't know why things had turned out like this between them, and he didn't know how to save this relationship. He felt helpless and lonely, as if he had been abandoned by the world.

The atmosphere of a cold war spread between the two, and the air seemed to have frozen. Neither of them was willing to bow their heads first, and neither of them was willing to take the initiative to break the deadlock. They were both waiting for the other to take the first step, but neither of them had the courage to make this decision.

As the days passed, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen continued their lives, but their relationship became increasingly tense. They were no longer as close as before, and no longer as close as before. It seemed as if there was an invisible wall between them, separating them from each other and preventing them from getting close.

Jiang Ciyou began to deliberately avoid Lu Jingchen. She tried to reduce contact with him as much as possible to avoid conflicts. She put more time and energy into work, trying to numb her emotions with busyness. She went out early and came back late every day, rarely ate at home, and rarely communicated with Lu Jingchen. She thought that this might make her feel better, but she found herself getting more and more lonely and missing Lu Jingchen more and more.

Lu Jingchen also felt the change in Jiang Ciyou, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart became stronger and stronger. He felt that Jiang Ciyou didn't care about his feelings at all, she only cared about her work. He began to doubt Jiang Ciyou, he didn't know if she still loved him, whether she was still willing to be with him. He wanted to talk to Jiang Ciyou, but every time he saw Jiang Ciyou's cold eyes, he lost his courage. He felt that he was a failure, very incompetent, and couldn't even keep his own woman.

During the cold war, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's mood became heavier and heavier. Their lives lost their former colors and became dull. They began to miss the good times and each other's tenderness and consideration. They knew that they couldn't go on like this, they had to make changes, otherwise their relationship would be completely broken.

However, their pride and ego prevented them from putting down their airs and asking for peace. They were all waiting for the right time, a chance to break the deadlock. However, this time never came.

One night, Jiang Ciyou worked overtime until late at night before returning home. She opened the door and found that the living room was dark, with only the light on in Lu Jingchen's room. She felt lost, as she knew that Lu Jingchen was still angry with her and didn't want to talk to her. She walked into her room silently and lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Jiang Ciyou's mind kept popping up the image of Lu Jingchen. She recalled the good times they had together, and her heart was filled with emotion. She knew she couldn't go on like this, and she had to take the initiative to break the deadlock, otherwise their relationship would be completely broken. She decided to have a good talk with Lu Jingchen tomorrow, and tell him everything in her heart, hoping that he could understand her difficulties.

The next morning, Jiang Ciyou got up early and prepared breakfast. She knocked on Lu Jingchen's door, but got no response. She opened the door and found that Lu Jingchen was no longer in the room. She felt lost. She didn't know where Lu Jingchen had gone or when he would come back. She sat at the dining table, looking at the breakfast she had carefully prepared, feeling helpless.

Jiang Ciyou decided to go to the company to find Lu Jingchen. She wanted to talk to him face to face and tell him everything in her heart. She came to the company, but found that Lu Jingchen was not in the office. She asked her colleagues and found out that Lu Jingchen had gone out to discuss business. She felt lost. She didn't know when Lu Jingchen would come back, and she didn't know if he was willing to listen to her explanation.

Jiang Ciyou waited in the company for a whole day, but never saw Lu Jingchen come back. She was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She didn't know where Lu Jingchen had gone, or whether he was still angry with her. She began to regret her impulsiveness and willfulness. She felt that she should have admitted her mistakes to Lu Jingchen earlier, and maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this between them.

Just when Jiang Ciyou was about to leave the company, she received a text message from Lu Jingchen. The content of the text message was very simple, with only one sentence: "Let's break up." Jiang Ciyou felt a sharp pain in her heart when she saw the text message. She couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't know why Lu Jingchen suddenly proposed to break up. She wanted to reply to the text message and ask him why he did this, but she didn't know what to say. Her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, and she felt that her world had collapsed.

Jiang Ciyou didn't know how she got home. She just felt her mind was blank and her heart was full of pain and regret. She sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what to do, she didn't know if she could still save this relationship. She felt like a failure, very incompetent, and couldn't even protect her own love.

Just when Jiang Ciyou was in despair, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Lu Jingchen calling. She was surprised. She didn't know why Lu Jingchen called her, nor did she know what he was going to say. She hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.

Lu Jingchen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ciyou, can we have a good talk?" Jiang Ciyou was excited when she heard Lu Jingchen's voice. She quickly replied: "Okay, where shall we meet?" Lu Jingchen said: "In the bar where we first met." Jiang Ciyou said: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Jiang Ciyou hung up the phone, quickly changed her clothes, and took a taxi to the bar. She arrived at the bar and saw Lu Jingchen waiting for her there. She was touched, she knew that Lu Jingchen still cared about her, otherwise he would not take the initiative to ask her out. She walked up to Lu Jingchen and sat down.

Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He was silent for a while, then he said: "Ciyou, what happened between us? Why did it become like this?" Jiang Ciyou felt sad when she heard Lu Jingchen's words. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Lu Jingchen's eyes. She was silent for a while, then she said: "Jingchen, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken work so seriously and ignored your feelings. I just want to create better conditions for our future, and I don't want you to suffer with me." Lu Jingchen was moved when he heard Jiang Ciyou's words. He held Jiang Ciyou's hand and said: "Ciyou, I know you are doing this for our own good. But I also hope that you can care about me more and spend more time with me. I don't want our relationship to become distant because of work." Jiang Ciyou felt guilty when she heard Lu Jingchen's words. She nodded and said: "Jingchen, I know. I will definitely care about you more and spend more time with you in the future. I will no longer let work affect our relationship." Lu Jingchen felt relieved when he heard Jiang Ciyou's words. He held Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly and said, "Ciyou, I love you. I don't want to lose you. Let's not have a cold war anymore, okay?" Jiang Ciyou felt warm in her heart when she heard Lu Jingchen's words. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's not have a cold war anymore. We will stay together forever and never separate."

Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen finally broke the deadlock of the cold war, and their feelings became stronger in the process. They knew that they could no longer quarrel over trivial matters, and could no longer let the cold war affect their feelings. They had to learn to understand and tolerate each other, learn to cherish each other, and go through every stage of life together.
