The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

I walked out of the blinding light, and the hatch of the time shuttle slowly closed, pulling me back from that unknown world to the familiar reality. What came into view was Lu Yuxuan's anxious face, his eyes bloodshot, his once handsome features now filled with fatigue and worry.

"Lolo!" When he saw me, he was immediately overjoyed, ran over and hugged me tightly in his arms.

I felt his strong heartbeat, the warmth of his embrace, and even more so, his uncontrollable excitement. I buried my face in his chest, greedily breathing in his scent, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Yuxuan, I'm back, I'm finally back..." I choked and spoke intermittently.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." He repeated this sentence over and over again, as if he wanted to rub me into his bones and blood.

We hugged each other tightly, tears intertwined, unable to tell each other apart. At this moment, we forgot time, space, and everything else. Only each other's presence was the most important.

At this moment, I heard hurried footsteps, and then I heard my best friend's joyful voice: "Lolo! Is it really you? You're really back!"

I looked up and saw Xin and Uncle Wang running towards us in a hurry, their faces filled with excitement and joy that were hard to conceal.

"Xin, Uncle Wang, I'm back." I tried to force a smile and nodded to them.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Uncle Wang burst into tears and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Xin grabbed my hand, looked me up and down, and asked with concern: "Lolo, are you okay? Are you doing well over there? Have you suffered any injustice?"

I shook my head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, everything is fine, don't worry."

Xin wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Lawrence Lu: “Okay, if you have anything to say, let’s go back and talk about it.”

I nodded, interlocked my fingers with Lawrence Lu, and walked towards the villa surrounded by Xin and Uncle Wang.

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on us, stretching our shadows very long, as if foreshadowing that our future will be even better...

We returned to the villa, feeling reunited, as if we'd just survived a catastrophe. Everyone was immersed in the joy of reunion. I took a hot shower and changed into the comfortable home clothes Xin had prepared. I immediately felt relaxed. For dinner, the table was filled with a sumptuous feast, all my favorites. Uncle Wang made my favorite sweet and sour fish, Xin baked my favorite chocolate cake, and Lawrence Lu silently served me food, his eyes so gentle that they seemed to melt me.

"Okay, can you tell me now?" Xin put down her chopsticks and looked at me curiously. "What did you experience in the future? How did you suddenly travel to the future? And how did you come back?"

I took a deep breath and looked at Lawrence Lu. He gave me an encouraging look, and then I slowly began to recount my extraordinary experiences in the future. I described that technologically advanced world, the diverse people I met there, the advanced knowledge I learned there, and, of course, the dangers and challenges I faced there.

My story was sometimes thrilling, sometimes humorous, and sometimes deeply touching. Xin and Uncle Wang were stunned, as if they were listening to a fairy tale. Lawrence Lu listened quietly the whole time, his eyes never leaving my face, his eyes full of heartache and pity.

"You've been through so much..." Xin was filled with emotion after listening to my story. "Fortunately, you finally came back safely."

"Yeah, it all feels like a dream," I sighed. "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed it was real."

“Lolo,” Lawrence Lu held my hand and said with a firm look in his eyes, “No matter what you have been through, no matter where you have been, remember that I have always been here waiting for you and will never leave you.”

His words were like the warm sunshine in winter, warming my heart. I shook his hand and nodded, my heart filled with emotion and happiness.

After dinner, Xin and Uncle Wang tactfully left, leaving Lu Yuxuan and me alone. Late into the night, moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silvery glow on the floor. We snuggled on the sofa, chatting softly, seemingly with endless things to say. We talked about each other's recent situations, future plans, and our love.

"Lolo," Lawrence Lu suddenly looked at me affectionately, "Do you know? Ever since you left, I've been thinking about you every day, every minute and every second. I've tried all sorts of ways to numb myself and stop thinking about you, but it's all in vain. Your voice, your smile, your every frown and smile, have been deeply engraved in my mind and are unforgettable."

I was deeply moved by his words. I snuggled tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth and heartbeat of his chest. I knew he truly loved me, just as I loved him.

"Yuxuan, I love you." I raised my head, looked at him affectionately, and said softly.

"I love you too, Lolo." He lowered his head and kissed my lips gently.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and we were the only two left in the world. We held each other tightly, feeling each other's love and warmth, until the dead of night...

The morning light streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, signaling a new day. I opened my eyes and saw Lawrence Lu's sleeping face, a surge of sweet happiness welling up in my heart. I gently got up, walked to the window, and stared at the bright sunshine outside, my heart filled with anticipation for the future.

I know that I should have returned to my own time and space, that technologically advanced future world. But I realized even more clearly that my heart had already stayed here, in this place full of love and warmth, by Lawrence Lu's side.

I returned to the bedside and gently stroked Lu Yuxuan's cheek. He was sleeping soundly, with a hint of fatigue in the corners of his eyes. I knew that he must have paid a lot in order to find me these days.

"Yuxuan, I have decided to stay and be with you." I whispered in his ear.

As if he heard what I said, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief: "Lolo, are you serious? Are you really willing to stay?"

I nodded firmly. "Yes, I have decided to stay and face the challenges of the future with you. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

He pulled me into his arms and held me tightly, as if he wanted to knead me into his bones and blood.

"Lolo, thank you, thank you for staying." His voice was a little choked, and I knew that at this moment, he was really moved.

We decided to throw a party to celebrate my return and our stronger love.

Xin and Uncle Wang were overjoyed when they learned of my decision. They immediately began preparing for the party, personally taking care of every detail, from the venue decoration to the guest invitations.

On the day of the party, the villa was bustling with activity. Guests gathered, and laughter and joy filled the air. Wearing the dress Xin had carefully chosen for me, I walked arm in arm with Lawrence Lu, weaving through the crowd, receiving blessings from friends and family.

"Lolo, you're finally back. We all missed you so much."

"Congratulations, your love story is so touching."

"I wish you happiness forever!"

……

Listening to those sincere blessings, my heart was filled with warmth and touched. I know that I am lucky because I have family and friends who love me, and I also have a man who loves me deeply.

The climax of the party was the surprise Lawrence Lu prepared for me. He took out an exquisite ring, knelt on one knee, looked at me affectionately, and said, "Lolo, marry me. Let me spend my whole life protecting you, loving you, and cherishing you."

I was so moved that tears streamed down my face. I nodded and said yes without hesitation: "I do!"

He put the ring on my finger, then stood up and held me tightly in his arms. At that moment, we seemed to be in a fairy tale world, everything around us became unreal, and only each other's existence was real.

We hugged and kissed each other passionately, thunderous applause and cheers rang out around us, and everyone's face was filled with a blessing smile.

I know our love story has just begun...

As the party drew to a close, brilliant fireworks burst into the night sky, illuminating the smiling faces of every guest. Lu Yuxuan and I stood in the center of the crowd, hand in hand, accepting the final blessing.

"Lolo, Yuxuan, come and make a wish!" Xin took out a huge cake with candles on it. The twinkling lights of the candles reflected our happy faces.

“Okay!” I nodded with a smile, and closed my eyes with Lawrence Lu, holding our fingers tightly.

At this moment, countless images flashed through my mind, including the sweetness of Lu Yuxuan and I when we first met, the pain when we separated, the joy when we met again, and the determination of our decision to stay together for life.

I silently made a wish: I hope that time will stay at this moment forever, I hope that my love with Lawrence Lu will last forever, I hope that we can overcome all future challenges together and live happily together forever.

When we opened our eyes, Lu Yuxuan and I smiled at each other, and each other's shadow was reflected in each other's eyes, which was the witness of our love.

“Let’s blow out the candles together.” Lawrence Lu’s voice was gentle and low, like a moving melody, gently echoing in my ears.

"Okay." I nodded, took a deep breath with him, and blew out the candles on the cake.

Suddenly, thunderous applause, cheers and blessings intertwined together and resounded throughout the night sky.

I snuggled tightly in Lawrence Lu's arms, feeling his warm embrace and strong heartbeat, my heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

However, at this moment, the necklace on my chest suddenly became hot, and a strange energy wave emanated from the necklace, making me feel dizzy.

I was horrified to find that everything around me began to become distorted, the smiling faces of the guests became blurred, and the cheerful music became increasingly distant...

"Lolo, what's wrong with you?" Lawrence Lu noticed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

"I..." I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.

My consciousness began to gradually blur. Before I completely lost consciousness, I saw Lu Yuxuan's anxious face and terrified eyes. Then, everything went black before my eyes, and I knew nothing...

"Lolo! Lolo!"

In a daze, I heard someone calling my name anxiously in my ear. I tried hard to open my eyes, but found that my eyelids were as heavy as a thousand-pound stone.

Who is calling me? Is it Lawrence Lu?

I tried to respond, but no sound came out.

Could it be... that I have traveled through time again?
