Chapter 385 Jiang Ciyou's Emotional Confusion
Chapter 385 Jiang Ciyou's Emotional Confusion
Jiang Ciyou met some outstanding men at work. Each of these men had his own strengths. They broke into Jiang Ciyou's originally monotonous life like stars, but also plunged her into deep emotional confusion.
One of the men is Lin Yu, who is a business backbone of the company, young, promising and full of energy. His smile is always so bright, as if it can dispel all the haze around him. Lin Yu has cooperated with Jiang Ciyou a lot in work, and he always takes good care of Jiang Ciyou. When discussing projects, he would listen carefully to Jiang Ciyou's ideas, and would give affirmation and encouragement from time to time. There is always a special enthusiasm in his eyes, which is not only a commitment to work, but also seems to contain a special feeling for Jiang Ciyou.
Once, the company organized a team building activity, and everyone went to a holiday villa in the suburbs. At the bonfire party, Lin Yu took the initiative to walk to Jiang Ciyou, handed her a cup of hot drink, and said with a smile: "Ciyou, it's cold at night, drink something hot." Jiang Ciyou took the cup, felt the warm touch, and her heart moved slightly. Lin Yu continued: "You know? I noticed you from the first day you came to the company. You have a unique temperament, that kind of toughness and gentleness mixed together, which is really attractive." Jiang Ciyou lowered her head a little embarrassedly, not knowing how to respond. Lin Yu did not stop, he continued: "I know you may have had some past, but I hope you can give me a chance to let me walk into your life." Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked at Lin Yu's sincere eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Lin Yu was a very good person, but she still had the shadow of Lu Jingchen in her heart.
There is also a man named Su Ran, who is a senior manager of the company. He is mature, stable and charming. Jiang Ciyou admires his wisdom and decisiveness at work. Su Ran also pays special attention to Jiang Ciyou. He often chats with Jiang Ciyou after work. The topic is not limited to work, but also involves all aspects of life. He will care about whether Jiang Ciyou's living environment is comfortable and whether there are any troubles in life. Once, Jiang Ciyou encountered a lot of pressure at work. The progress of a project was seriously delayed due to some unforeseen problems. After Su Ran knew about it, he took the initiative to help her analyze the problem and coordinated resources from other departments to support the project. In the process, Su Ran said to Jiang Ciyou: "Ciyou, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Everyone will encounter difficulties. I believe you have enough ability to overcome it. Moreover, you are not fighting alone. I will always be by your side." Su Ran's words blew into Jiang Ciyou's heart like a warm spring breeze. However, Jiang Ciyou still couldn't open his heart easily.
Jiang Ciyou often tossed and turned in bed at night, thinking about her emotional problems. She knew that she couldn't always be immersed in her past feelings for Lu Jingchen, and she always had to look forward in life. Lin Yu and Su Ran were both very good people, and they both had the potential to bring her new happiness. However, every time she tried to accept one of them, Lu Jingchen's shadow would appear in her mind. She would think of the bits and pieces of her time with Lu Jingchen, and those beautiful memories were like a shackle that locked her steps towards a new relationship.
She was worried that if she started a new relationship, it would be unfair to others. Lin Yu and Su Ran both treated her sincerely. If she forced herself to be with one of them because she wanted to forget Lu Jingchen, it would be a deception to them. She didn't want to hurt those who were really good to her. She knew the pain of being hurt emotionally, so she didn't want to inflict this pain on others.
At the same time, she was afraid of being hurt again. She had been hurt in her marriage, and her relationship with Lu Jingchen did not have a happy ending. These experiences made her fearful of new relationships. She didn't know if the new relationship would fail again, and she didn't know if she still had the courage to face the possible hurt. She was struggling in the whirlpool of emotions, not knowing how to make a decision.
Sometimes, she would think that it would be great if she could completely forget Lu Jingchen. However, memories are something that the more you want to forget, the deeper they become. She tried to keep herself busy and put more energy into work, hoping that work would occupy her mind and leave her no time to think about emotional matters. However, in between work, those emotional confusions would still come like a tide.
She would also observe Lin Yu and Su Ran, trying to find some flaws in them so that she could firmly reject them. However, Lin Yu's enthusiasm and sincerity, Su Ran's steadiness and thoughtfulness made it difficult for her to find a reason to reject them. She felt like a person groping in the dark, unable to find a direction or hope. She longed for a clear answer to tell her what to do, but how could matters of love be so easy to answer?
She began to recall the feeling when she was with Lu Jingchen. It was a pure and passionate love. They could walk together in the morning sunshine and enjoy the quiet time; they could sit in each other's arms at night and share each other's dreams. That feeling was so beautiful, but so far away. She didn't know if she could have that kind of love again. She didn't know if she should give up the pursuit of that kind of love and try to accept new feelings.
During lunch time at the company, Lin Yu would often come over and sit with Jiang Ciyou to eat. He would bring some snacks that he made himself and say with a smile, "This is what I just learned, you try it." Jiang Ciyou would take the snacks, but her heart felt heavy. She knew Lin Yu's intentions, but she couldn't respond to him as Lin Yu hoped. Su Ran would also send Jiang Ciyou some interesting articles or warm little jokes during his breaks at work. He always cared about Jiang Ciyou silently. Jiang Ciyou looked at these messages, and his heart was full of contradictions.
She would also see Lin Yu and Su Ran interacting with other women in social situations, and she would observe their attitudes. Sometimes, she would feel that this was a bit inexplicable. She had not established a relationship with them, so why should she care about their interactions with other women? However, deep in her heart, there would still be some subtle emotional fluctuations. She knew that this was wrong. She could not not accept them and not allow them to interact normally with other women.
Jiang Ciyou is sinking deeper and deeper into this emotional confusion, and she doesn't know where her future will go. She hopes that time can give her an answer, or a miracle will appear, so that she can suddenly see the light and understand what she really wants.
