Shen Yixuan frowned, his little face full of indignation: “They are so mean, mom and dad must be very sad, right?”
Jiang Zhi held his son in his arms. "Yes, at that time, we were filled with shock and anger, and we vowed to make them pay. From then on, our fight was not just for ourselves, but for all those they had hurt, and for justice and peace in the world."
The family sat on the grass nearby. Jiang Zhi took out the prepared snacks from the basket and distributed them to the children. Chen Yueyao ate the sweet snacks and asked with sparkling eyes, "Mom, what happened next? How did you defeat the bad guys?"
Jiang Zhi smiled and looked at Shen Qingchen, motioning for him to start the story. Shen Qingchen cleared his throat and began to recount the final confrontation: "Later, we fought our way to the core stronghold of the mysterious organization. It was a den of dragons and tigers, and the security was extremely tight. But we didn't retreat, because we knew that success or failure depended on this one move. When we first entered, it was relatively smooth, and we advanced step by step according to the plan. But unexpectedly, the enemy discovered us very quickly, and the alarm sounded, and we were instantly caught in a bitter battle."
"I remember that I was surrounded by a group of enemies. I was wounded in many places and my clothes were stained with blood. Every time I swung my weapon, it seemed as if I had used up all my strength. But I couldn't fall down. I had to protect my mother and you." Shen Qingchen gently stroked the scars on his body that had long healed, his eyes full of memories of the past.
Jiang Zhi held his hand distressedly. "I was also injured. My arm was also scratched. But seeing you in danger, I had only one thought in my mind, which was to fight my way out with you. Just when we were almost unable to hold on, we accidentally discovered the energy system of the mysterious organization. As long as we destroy it, we can throw the enemy into chaos."
Shen Yixuan listened intently and asked anxiously, "Did mom and dad succeed?"
"Of course it worked." Jiang Zhi smiled and patted his head. "I feigned defeat to distract some of the enemies, while your father took the opportunity to rush towards the energy system's control area. Along the way, he overcame numerous obstacles and, under my remote guidance, successfully destroyed the energy system. In an instant, the lights in the stronghold flickered and chaos reigned. The enemy's formation was thrown into disarray, and we took advantage of the opportunity to pursue them and ultimately achieved victory."
The children cheered, their eyes full of admiration for their parents. Shen Yueyao threw herself into Jiang Zhi's arms: "Mom and Dad are so awesome! When I grow up, I want to be like you and protect everyone."
Jiang Zhi hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes full of relief: "Okay, baby, as long as you have a brave and kind heart, you can do it."
Chen Qingchen looked at the heartwarming scene before him, his heart filled with emotion. Past hardships made them cherish their present happiness even more. Looking back, the hardships, fears, despair, and struggles along the way have now become their most precious treasures. They know that it is those unforgettable experiences that have forged their present indestructible selves, making this happiness seem even more hard-won, and making them even more determined to protect each other, their families, and this hard-earned peace.
A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers. Jiang Zhi leaned on Shen Qingchen's shoulder, watching the children playing, and whispered, "Qingchen, sometimes when I think about it, it really feels like a dream. Those moments of life and death, the pain of losing relatives and friends, seem to be still before our eyes, and yet now, we can sit here and enjoy this peaceful time."
Shen Qingchen held her hand tightly: "Yes, although this journey is difficult, it is all worth it. Because of you and the children, we have walked through the darkness together and ushered in the light. In the future, we must tell these stories to the children and let them know that no matter what difficulties they encounter, as long as they have faith and love in their hearts, they will be able to overcome everything."
Jiang Zhi nodded, tears glistening in her eyes, a remembrance of the past and a hope for the future. The setting sun cast a golden glow over their figures. The family's laughter echoed across this land of memories, as if bidding farewell to the past and ushering in the future. It was a warm and beautiful moment that lingered for a long time.
