Chapter 387 Jiang Ciyou's Life Changes
Jiang Ciyou's life is quietly undergoing tremendous changes, and every detail seems to be a powerful step towards her new life.
Leaving the habitat that was once full of contradictions and disappointments, Jiang Ciyou's first habitat was a small hotel. It was a place full of strangeness and temporary feeling. There was only a simple bed, a shabby table and an unstable chair in the small room. There, she spent the first days of confusion and anxiety. Every night, when she lay on the somewhat hard bed, her thoughts always drifted back to the past involuntarily, recalling every bit of being with Lu Jingchen, or deep worries about her future.
However, as her work became more stable and her mentality gradually adjusted, she realized that she could not live in such a cramped and insecure environment. So she began to look for a place that truly belonged to her. After a lot of searching, she finally rented an apartment. Although the apartment was not big, it was a world of difference compared to a small hotel.
The living room of the apartment has a bright window, and the sunlight can pour in without hindrance, illuminating the whole room. There are several pots of green plants placed next to the window, which were specially selected by Jiang Ciyou. Each leaf is full of vitality, as if telling a new beginning. There is a soft sofa in the living room. The color of the sofa is light beige, and there are several colorful pillows on it. After get off work, Jiang Ciyou often sits on this sofa tiredly, feeling its softness and tolerance, just like the warmth given to her by this new home.
Her bedroom is warm and comfortable. There is a large bed with a bed sheet with small floral prints and a soft cotton quilt, which makes her feel like she is covered by a cloud. There is a small bookshelf at the head of the bed, which is filled with books she has collected from various places. These books cover different types, including inspirational workplace novels, philosophical essays, and some books on how to improve your professional knowledge. Every night before going to bed, she would pick a book from the bookshelf and read it quietly under the soft light. This became the most relaxing moment of her day.
In addition to the improvement of her living environment, Jiang Ciyou also began to pay attention to her image and quality of life. She knew that the change in her appearance was not only to make herself look more beautiful, but also a reflection of her positive attitude towards a new life. She applied for a gym membership and took a few days a week to exercise. In the gym, she tried various sports. At first, she felt a little overwhelmed by the complicated fitness equipment, but she did not back down. She humbly asked the coach for advice and slowly mastered the use of each piece of equipment.
On the treadmill, she could sweat as much as she wanted and feel her body gradually becoming stronger. Every time she ran, she seemed to be saying goodbye to the fragile and confused self in the past. As time went by, she found that her physical strength was getting better and better, and her figure became more symmetrical and tight. She began to wear those slim-fitting sportswear that she had never dared to think of before. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw an unprecedented confidence.
In addition to fitness, she also actively participates in some cultural ballet performances and goes to the theater to watch ballet performances. The dancers jump and spin lightly on the stage, as if they are a group of elves from fairyland. Every movement is full of artistic appeal, which makes Jiang Ciyou immersed in the enjoyment of beauty. She also goes to art exhibitions. Standing in front of the exquisite paintings, she seems to be able to feel the painter's state of mind when creating. Those colorful pictures, whether it is the tranquil pastoral scenery or the passionate urban night scene, are like different worlds that open their doors to her.
In terms of social life, Jiang Ciyou has also changed. Due to her work, she has met some like-minded friends. These friends come from different backgrounds, but they all have a positive attitude towards life. They will have dinner together on weekends to share each other's life experiences and work experiences. During these dinners, Jiang Ciyou heard all kinds of interesting stories and learned a lot of different perspectives and ways of thinking. She is no longer as closed as before, but actively participates in everyone's discussions, and her laughter is increasingly echoing in these gathering places.
However, although her life has become full and meaningful, she still feels that something is missing deep in her heart. Every time she works out alone in the gym, she suddenly remembers Lu Jingchen's encouragement and companionship; when watching those touching ballets, she hopes that Lu Jingchen can be by her side to share this feeling with her; when she is laughing and chatting with her friends, she occasionally gets distracted and Lu Jingchen's smile appears in her mind. This sense of loss is like a small corner hidden in her heart, which will quietly emerge when she is not paying attention, reminding her that her past feelings have not completely disappeared.
She knew that her new life was moving forward steadily, but Lu Jingchen was like a seed that had once taken deep root in her heart. Although she tried to cover it up with a new life, she could never uproot it. This complex emotion was intertwined in her heart, making her feel a little melancholy while enjoying her new life.
