Chapter 362 Jiang Ciyou's Conflict and Pain
After Jiang Ciyou returned to her husband, every day was like being trapped in a nightmare from which she could not wake up. Her heart was in extreme entanglement and pain, and this pain was like a fine spider web, tightly entangling her and making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She looked at the man who had once broken her heart, and memories of the past came flooding back. They had had good times before, and the excitement of their first meeting and the sweetness of their love seemed to be just yesterday. However, now he no longer had a trace of love in her eyes, only endless strangeness. His every move and every word made Jiang Ciyou feel as if she was facing a completely unrelated stranger.
The night became her most difficult time. When darkness enveloped the room and it was so quiet that only her own breathing could be heard, her thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and she could not help but drift towards the days she had spent with Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen's gentleness was like the warm sunshine in spring, gently sprinkled on her heart. Every look in his eyes was full of affection, and every hug made her feel endless warmth. He was considerate and meticulous, and he always appeared by her side when she needed him most, whether it was taking good care of her when she was sick, or silently accompanying her when she was in a bad mood. His tolerance was as broad as the sea, and no matter her occasional willfulness or temper, he could accept it with a smile.
In contrast, the current husband is so indifferent and utilitarian. His mind seems to always be on his career, and he completely ignores Jiang Ciyou's emotional needs. He is always busy with various social events and work affairs, and often does not return home at night. Even if he is occasionally at home, he is just immersed in his own world and ignores Jiang Ciyou's existence. Communication between them has become extremely difficult, and every conversation is like a war, full of quarrels and accusations. The husband always accuses Jiang Ciyou of not caring enough about his career. In his eyes, Jiang Ciyou seems to be just an accessory who should silently support him at home. Jiang Ciyou complains that her husband has no sense of family responsibility. This home is more like a hotel for him to rest, rather than a harbor full of love.
Jiang Ciyou knew that she had made a wrong decision. She often asked herself in her heart, why did she return to this place where there was no love? Was it because of the pressure of public opinion? In this seemingly open society, but in fact traditional concepts are deeply rooted, divorce seems to be always criticized. She was afraid of being accused of being an unfaithful woman, afraid of those strange eyes and whispers behind her back. Or was it because of her obsession with the past? She once had a beautiful vision of this marriage, and she had invested so much emotion, she was unwilling to give up so easily. She tried to convince herself that maybe her husband would change, maybe they could find their former love again.
However, every time she comforted herself, she became vulnerable in the face of reality. She knew clearly that what she really wanted was the simple and pure happiness of being with Lu Jingchen. When she was with Lu Jingchen, there were no complicated conflicts of interest, no endless quarrels and indifference, only mutual understanding, support and deep love. She missed the time when they strolled along the beach together, the sea breeze blew gently, with a salty taste, and Lu Jingchen held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his life. They would watch the sunset together, and the gorgeous sunset glow reflected on their faces. They didn't need words, just the intersection of their eyes could understand each other's intentions.
In those quiet nights, Jiang Ciyou often cried alone. Her tears soaked the pillow, but could not wash away the pain and confusion in her heart. She didn't know how to face her own heart. On the one hand, she missed and felt guilty about Lu Jingchen, and on the other hand, she felt helpless and desperate about her current marriage. She felt like she was trapped in a dark abyss, unable to find a way out, and could only struggle in pain. She tried to find a balance, a way that would allow her to pursue happiness without violating social morality, but every time she thought about it, she became more confused. She knew she couldn't go on like this and had to make a decision, but the decision was so difficult that she was afraid that once she made a choice, she would face more pain and uncertainty.
She began to recall every detail of her time with Lu Jingchen, trying to find strength from those memories. She remembered the scene of their first meeting, in that bar, the lights were dim and the music was loud. Lu Jingchen suddenly appeared in her world like a ray of light, and his handsome face and unique temperament instantly attracted her. Since then, their story has unfolded slowly like a beautiful piece of music. They went to many places together, and their laughter and sweetness were left in every place. They tasted delicious food together, and Lu Jingchen would always put her favorite food into her bowl first; they watched movies together, and Lu Jingchen would gently wipe away her tears when she was moved to tears. The more beautiful these memories are, the deeper her pain is now.
She would also think of the quarrels with Lu Jingchen. Although those quarrels were rare, each time she quarreled, she would understand him better. Lu Jingchen would always calm down first during the quarrel, and then communicate with her patiently. He would never hurt her with fierce words. However, her current husband was always aggressive during the quarrel, thinking only of his own ideas and interests. This contrast made Jiang Ciyou realize more clearly who she really loved, but she was afraid to face this fact.
During the day, she tried to look normal, trying to hide the pain in her heart. She would do some housework and prepare meals as usual, but her heart was not on these things. She was always thinking about Lu Jingchen in her mind, wondering how he was doing now. She wanted to call him and tell him how much she missed him and how much she regretted, but she didn't have the courage. She was afraid that Lu Jingchen was so disappointed in her that he was no longer willing to accept her. She was also afraid that her behavior would bring more harm to Lu Jingchen, after all, she was the one who left him first.
Jiang Ciyou's heart was like an ocean ravaged by a storm, turbulent and chaotic. She kept wandering in pain and entanglement, not knowing where her future was, nor how to get out of this predicament. She could only silently endure the torment in her heart every day and night, waiting for an opportunity that would allow her to make up her mind.
