The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

Schimerling remained silent, his hands gripping the chopsticks so tightly that the veins on his hands had disappeared.

Guan Yue saw that Xiang Yu's face had turned pale and somber, and knew that she had asked something she shouldn't have. However, she didn't regret it and thought it was better to let Mo Mo know.

After a moment of silence, Shu Xiangyu suddenly spoke up and asked her, "Guan Yue, have you really thought about ending things with her completely...?"

The sharp boomerang pierced Guan Yue's heart without mercy. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Once a choice is made, there's no turning back..."

"Even if she suffers a thousand times more than she does now in the future, and loses the will to live, you don't care!"

The resounding question made my heart tighten.

Guan Yue put down her chopsticks and met her deep gaze.

"What do you mean?"

Shu Xiangyu hesitated whether she should tell her the truth, but since it hadn't happened yet and there was no basis for it, if she told her, it would be fabrication.

"All I can tell you is to cherish the person in front of you and not let her lose hope, otherwise one day you will lose her completely..."

As she finished speaking, she turned to look at the person beside her.

It seems to be a reminder that one will only regret it when they truly lose it one day.

Schimerlin looked up and met her gaze, a sense of estrangement filling the air.

She should instinctively accept this relationship that she could regain, just as she said, and cherish the person in front of her.

But a voice in her head kept reminding her, no, this is wrong.

She quickly looked away, not wanting to reveal her thoughts.

Shu Xiangyu's eyes darkened; she probably wouldn't forgive him for the harm he had caused her in the past, not in the short term.

Guan Yue slumped back in her chair, her carefully constructed facade of strength crumbling, her expression complex.

"You don't understand. Yiqiu is an only child. Her parents have high hopes for her. The year she took the college entrance exam, her application was changed because of me. She could have gone to a better university... My parents have long been at their wits' end with me, so I don't need to worry about them anymore. But Yiqiu can't. Even though she chose to stay away, she can't sever the bonds of family. I've tried to help her, and I've accepted all their harsh words. There's just one thing I can't overcome: they want to sever ties with Yiqiu. Besides, they're in poor health. If something happens because of us, Yiqiu will never forgive herself..."

This is a real problem that most same-sex couples encounter, and it's not just them who can't overcome it.

What lay before Xi Molin and Shu Xiangyu, besides emotions and worldly ethics, was their parents, who seemed like an insurmountable mountain.

No one dared to reveal even the slightest detail, for fear of hurting them. Compared to Guan Yue and Huang Yiqiu, who were somewhat contrary to common sense, what other feelings could exist between the two who called each other sisters?

At the dinner table, the three of them seemed to be stuck in a stalemate that they couldn't break through.

"Let's eat our food, let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore."

Shu Xiangyu was at a loss for how to advise her, as her own affairs were also in a mess.

"Come on, let's drink until we drop tonight!"

Guan Yue raised her glass, her interest rekindled.

"Alright, let's drink until we're drunk..."

Shu Xiangyu clinked glasses with her, and they both drank it all in one gulp.

Schimerling remained silent throughout; the food on the table had long since lost its flavor, and his throat felt incredibly sore.

As night falls, the city becomes bustling, with traffic jams recurring on the roads, while the neon lights remain dazzling.

When Xi Molin finished cleaning up the pots and pans and came out of the kitchen, Shu Xiangyu and Guan Yue, who were lying on the sofa, were still chatting incessantly about their troubles.

There were empty wine bottles on the coffee table, and a newly opened bottle was only half full.

"MoMo, just give me a straight answer: can you and Xiang Yu get back together...?"

Guan Yue shouted loudly.

Shu Xiangyu looked at her at the same time, his eyes gleaming, as if he was also waiting for her answer.

Schimerlin approached slowly, still perfectly lucid despite having drunk two bottles of beer.

"Sister Guan Yue, you've had too much to drink."

Guan Yue sat up from the sofa, her face flushed, and said solemnly, "I'm not drunk. I'm just asking for Xiang Yu. Can't you see how she feels about you?"

"..."

Schimerlin did not answer her question, nor did she meet her sister's gaze.

As she turned to leave, Shu Xiangyu suddenly called out to her, "Mo Mo..."

She turned and stood up, barefoot, her unsteady legs carrying her slowly as she approached her, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"I know you're still struggling to get over the fact that I gave up on you, and I don't expect you to give me an answer right now..."

"sister…"

Schimerlin turned to face her, interrupting her at the same time.

Her expression was serious, and her voice was calm and indifferent: "The past is the past. I really wanted to know if you ever loved me, and your answer was very clear. I don't deny that I still have feelings for you, but I don't want to love you anymore, and I don't want to endure the constant abandonment and separation. The time of unrequited love was both sweet and bitter, and for me, it was all precious."

"Even without Rong's father and Yang's mother's objections, even if you weren't afraid of the negative impact or that your fans would find out, I still couldn't accept your change of heart... Let's be sisters for life, and let's not cross that line again..."

After she finished speaking, her gaze was firm and resolute, and she turned and went back to her room.

Her words completely shattered all of Shu Xiangyu's hopes; this was the consequence she deserved, this was her retribution.

Guan Yue stared blankly at Xiang Yu, who remained motionless.

Soon, Ximerlin changed into her own clothes and came out, trying her best to control her anxious and empty feelings.

"Sister, I'm leaving now. I'll be going back to Qizhou with Tian Tian tomorrow... Sister Guan Yue, let's get together again sometime."

She lowered her eyes and nodded in acknowledgment, then quickly walked to the entrance without lingering for a moment.

Shu Xiangyu rushed over in a panic, grabbing her wrist and pleading in her eyes, "Mo Mo, why won't you give me a chance? I'll prove my feelings to you..."

"No need, it's pointless now."

Schimerlin stood sideways, avoiding her gaze out of the corner of his eye.

Shu Xiangyu tightened her grip on her hand, unwilling to accept it. Tears welled in her eyes as she asked in a hoarse voice, "But you still love me, don't you? Why are you saying things you don't mean? I don't believe you can really let go of this relationship..."

Shermerlin turned to face her questioning, her eyes brimming with anger. The pain that had accumulated over the years could no longer be contained at this moment, and it completely overwhelmed her.

Her voice was low and hoarse, her hands clenched tightly as she forced back the pain: "Whether you believe me or not is your business. Should I just keep waiting for you? Should I be unconditionally by your side when you want to be, and disappear without a trace when you don't? In the past four years, have you ever looked for me? You yourself said that you've only ever treated me like a younger sister, and that your so-called feelings were just an act. Now you're pretending to be so affectionate. You say you love me now, and I'm supposed to be foolish enough to believe you? I'm a living, breathing person with feelings. Just because you're nice to me doesn't mean I'll soften and unconditionally accept your so-called love..."

"Shu Xiangyu, I'm telling you one more time, no matter what you say or do, there is no possibility between us anymore. If you still consider me your sister, don't mention those words again."

Without a second thought, she forcefully shook off her clenched hand, ignoring her heartbroken state, and resolutely left the place.

The moment the door closed, it separated the two of them once again.
