Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 986 Belated Wedding Video

On a lazy afternoon, Jiang Ciyou was pruning flowers and plants in the garden as usual. The warm spring sun shone on her body, the breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. Occasionally, she stood up and looked at the children playing and laughing on the lawn in the distance. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and her eyes were full of tenderness and pampering.

At this time, Lu Jingchen was in the basement of his home, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, with beads of sweat on his forehead. The surroundings were full of old cardboard boxes, and dust was flying wildly in the light coming in through the window. His eyes showed a hint of anxiety and a bit of expectation, and his hands kept searching in the boxes, as if he was looking for an extremely precious treasure.

Finally, in a dusty corner, he found the familiar videotape box. Lu Jingchen picked it up carefully and blew away the dust. The words "Wedding Video" on the box came into his sight. In an instant, memories of the past flooded into his mind like a tide. His hands trembled slightly, as if he was holding not a videotape, but a long-forgotten past that he dared not touch easily.

Lu Jingchen brought the videotape and quietly came to the study. He closed the door and drew the curtains. The room suddenly became dark, with only the faint light from the projector. He took a deep breath, slowly put the videotape into the player, and then sat on the sofa, staring at the screen intently, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

The screen lit up, the picture was a little blurry, and with a slight rustling sound, the scene of the wedding gradually emerged. Jiang Ciyou was wearing a white wedding dress, as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale. The tiny diamonds on the wedding dress sparkled under the lights, like a dream. Her face was filled with a happy smile, her eyes were full of longing for the future life, surrounded by relatives and friends, she shyly and sweetly waited for the groom to appear.

However, as time went by, Jiang Ciyou's smile gradually froze, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. She kept looking at the door, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness, and the bouquet in her hand was slightly deformed because of her tight grip. The whispers of the guests around seemed to be transmitted through the screen, getting louder and louder, filling the entire room.

Finally, her cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the original noise at the scene. Jiang Ciyou hurriedly took out her cell phone from her handbag. When she saw the number displayed on the screen, her hand shook violently and the phone almost fell. She pressed the answer button tremblingly and put the phone close to her ear. After a moment, her face turned pale in an instant and her body shook a few times, as if she had suffered a heavy blow. The guests around noticed something was wrong and cast concerned glances at her, but Jiang Ciyou seemed to be in a world without people. Tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, rolling down in large drops, dripping on her wedding dress, soaking up sad tears.

She stood there alone, her wedding dress like a heavy shackle, binding her broken heart. Everything around her became blurry, only the pain in her heart became clearer. She looked at the empty door. The person who should have appeared and walked through the rest of her life with her was cruelly absent at this most important moment.

Outside the screen, Lu Jingchen watched this scene, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and he could hardly breathe due to the pain. His eyes were red, full of self-blame and heartache. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if he could share the pain that Jiang Ciyou had endured. "Silly, why wasn't I by your side at that time..." He murmured to himself, his voice hoarse and trembling, tears of regret sliding down his cheeks.

The video continued to play, and the scene switched to the bridal chamber. Jiang Ciyou sat on the bed in a daze, the hem of her wedding dress casually dragging on the ground, looking messy and desolate. She stared ahead with empty eyes, tears flowing silently, and occasionally a few suppressed sobs came out. The room was silent, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall, and every tick seemed to hit her broken heart heavily.

Lu Jingchen couldn't bear to watch any longer. He stood up suddenly and pressed the pause button. The room instantly fell into silence. He covered his face with his hands, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart. After a long time, he took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his face, and walked out of the study.

Jiang Ciyou finished her work in the garden and returned home, preparing to go upstairs to change clothes. When she passed by the study, she found that the door was half-open, and a ray of light came from inside. She was puzzled and gently pushed the door open, and saw Lu Jingchen standing in front of the projector with his back to her, his body trembling slightly.

"Jingchen, what are you doing here?" she asked softly.

Lu Jingchen's body stiffened and he slowly turned around. Jiang Ciyou was shocked when she saw his red and swollen eyes and the tears that had not dried yet, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" She walked quickly to Lu Jingchen, her eyes full of worry.

Lu Jingchen didn't say anything, but just silently stretched out his hand and gently held her in his arms. Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms, listening to his violent heartbeat, and her uneasiness became stronger. "What's wrong? Don't scare me." She raised her head, looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, and asked anxiously.

Lu Jingchen let go of her, took a deep breath, and pointed at the projector, "I...I want to show you something." His voice was a little choked.

Jiang Ciyou looked in the direction of his finger and saw the frozen picture on the screen. It was her crying in her wedding dress in the bridal chamber. In an instant, she felt like she was struck by lightning. Her body trembled violently and her face turned pale. The painful memories of the past rushed in front of her like a surging wave, drowning her.

“Why…why are you showing me this now…” Her voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Jingchen embraced her again, holding her tightly, as if to use his arms to build a barrier against pain for her. "Ciyou, I just want you to know that I feel every minute and every second of the suffering you have endured. I want you to understand that those pains are not meaningless, and they eventually became the foreshadowing of our happiness today." He whispered in her ear, his words full of affection and self-blame.

Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms, her tears soaking his clothes. She felt mixed emotions, with painful memories of the past and touched by Lu Jingchen's kindness. After a long while, she raised her head, looked at Lu Jingchen, nodded slightly, and signaled him to continue playing.

Lu Jingchen gently let her go, picked up the remote control, and pressed the play button. The screen switched, and this time it showed the grand scene of their wedding ceremony. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and the blessings from relatives and friends came one after another. Jiang Ciyou was wearing a more gorgeous wedding dress, holding Lu Jingchen's arm, with a happy and confident smile on her face, and the light in her eyes was more dazzling than the warm spring sun.

Witnessed by the pastor, they made a lifelong vow. Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ciyou affectionately, the love in his eyes seemed to overflow, and his voice was firm and powerful: "Jiang Ciyou, no matter life, death, wealth or poverty, I am willing to spend it with you hand in hand, and never leave you." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of tears, and she smiled and responded: "Me too, Lu Jingchen, please give me more guidance for the rest of my life."

The guests in the audience applauded and cheered, and the colorful confetti fell like snowflakes, sprinkled on them, adding more romantic atmosphere to this beautiful moment. Children surrounded them, laughing and playing, waving flowers in their hands, and their innocent smiles were like flowers blooming in spring, injecting endless vitality and energy into this wedding.

After the video recording ended, the room was filled with a warm and slightly sad atmosphere. Jiang Ciyou's face was still covered with tears, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of relief for the past and expectations for the future.

Lu Jingchen walked over to her, held her hand, and took out a delicate little box from his pocket. He opened the box, and inside was a sparkling diamond brooch in the shape of a blooming rose, with tiny diamonds inlaid on the petals, sparkling brightly under the light.

"Ciyou, this is something I specially customized for you. This rose is just like you, beautiful and tough. Even after going through wind and rain, it can still bloom with the most brilliant brilliance. I hope it can replace me, always be by your side, and witness every happy moment of our future." Lu Jingchen said, gently pinning the brooch on Jiang Ciyou's chest.

Jiang Ciyou looked down at the brooch on her chest, stroking it gently with her fingers, and a warm current surged in her heart. "Jingchen, thank you, this is the most precious gift I have ever received." She raised her head, her eyes full of love and gratitude.

Lu Jingchen held her in his arms and kissed her forehead gently, "Silly girl, why are you still saying thank you to me? The future is still long, and we still have a lot of happiness to create."

Since then, every year on their wedding anniversary, Lu Jingchen would carefully make a video for Jiang Ciyou as promised. The video recorded every bit of their past year, including the beautiful scenery they saw when traveling together, the laughter and tears of their children growing up, the warm and trivial things in daily life, and every moment of their companionship and support for each other.

These videos have become the testimony of their love, like an invisible bond that closely connects their hearts. Every night of their wedding anniversary, they will turn off the lights, sit on the sofa in the living room, hold hands, and watch these videos together. Recalling the beauty of the past and looking forward to the happiness of the future, their love has become more mellow over the years, like aged wine, exuding a charming fragrance. And the box of wedding videotapes that once broke people's hearts was also properly preserved by Lu Jingchen. It is no longer a symbol of pain, but an important milestone in their love journey, reminding them at all times that no matter how great the difficulties are, as long as they work together, they will surely reach the other side of happiness.
