Fang Tian drove onto the highway back to Qizhou, and finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time.

"You look so downcast, did you have a fight with your sister?"

Schimerlin closed his eyes, leaned back in the car seat, and gave a soft "hmm" in response.

"You two broke up again?"

"They never made up in the first place, so how could they have broken up?"

Perhaps he caught a chill while sleeping in the car, because Schimerlin's voice had become noticeably hoarse.

"So the rumors circulating online that she has a boyfriend are true."

Schimerlin said indifferently, "It's none of my business. I don't know..."

Judging from her tone, Fang Tian had already guessed that their situation was indeed not very optimistic, so she stopped asking any further questions.

"And what about you and her? What's been going on these past few days?"

Schimerlin opened his eyes, picked up the bottled water on the armrest, and took a few sips.

"It's nothing special, we're still friends..."

The gap between her and Li Siyin in social status, economic status, and even their experiences and knowledge seemed quite different.

Faced with her casual reply, Xi Molin knew that she had her own plans, so she didn't press for details.

"Actually, being alone is quite nice; at least there aren't as many worries..."

Fang Tian smiled bitterly, the light in her eyes gradually fading.

As Xi Molin gazed at the city receding into the distance outside the car window, he sighed in a deep voice, "It's better to forget each other in the vast world than to cling together in hardship. Simplicity is better."

Fang Tian then turned up the volume, hoping to dispel their respective troubles.

During the subsequent ten-day holiday, Xi Molin didn't go anywhere. He stayed in Qizhou with Rong's parents and Yang's parents, and sometimes he would get together with old friends.

Shu Xiangjun would come back whenever she had time, but Shu Xiangyu was still extremely busy. She would only occasionally take a break to go home, and Xi Molin would find an excuse to go out. She would leave after a short time.

Xi Juan, whom I met at the airport before, keeps contacting Xi Molin, telling her that she has returned to Sichuan and that we should hang out together sometime.

It was a rare opportunity to meet friends outside the camp, so Schimerlin accepted the invitation.

As the holiday drew to a close, Xi Molin invited his friends over to his house. Lu Qianni also packed her things in advance to come over, and Shu Xiangjun specially took leave to rush back.

As for Shu Xiangyu, she has something to do and can't come back for the time being.

That evening, Yang Yufen invited someone to her home to cook a table full of dishes, which were no different from those in Chinese restaurants, but the ingredients were fresh and clean.

After everyone took their seats, they raised their glasses together to offer Merlin their sincere blessings, all hoping that she could return to Qizhou often in the future.

In the midst of the lively atmosphere, the doorbell suddenly rang. Yang Yufen thought there were still guests, so she got up to open the door.

To her surprise, when she opened the door, she saw a stranger carrying a lot of things. He smiled and introduced himself humbly, saying, "Hello, Auntie... I am Liu Luoqing. This is my first visit. I apologize for disturbing you."

Yang Yufen then realized that he was the male celebrity who had been rumored to be having an affair with Xiao Yu!

His sudden visit to our home must mean it really happened.

Her expression brightened instantly, like clouds parting to clear skies, and she immediately broke into a kind smile: "Hello, please come in, please come in..."

"Excuse me for bothering you... I'll just put on some shoe covers."

Yang Yufen quickly waved her hand: "No need, no need, just come in."

Liu Luoqing was clearly well-prepared; she was dressed in a formal suit, her hair was perfectly styled, and her male assistant was carrying a number of gifts.

"You're too kind, bringing so many things."

"this is necessary."

Liu Luoqing and her assistant followed her to the living room. After putting down their things, the assistant left first.

"Mr. Liu, tonight a few young people are having a farewell party for my youngest daughter. If you don't mind, please stay for a drink and a bite to eat."

As Yang Yufen spoke, she led him toward the dining room.

Liu Luoqing hesitated slightly: "Wouldn't that be too much of a bother..."

"No, no, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."

Upon entering the dining room, all eyes turned to the two of them.

Lu Qianni's eyes widened in disbelief; she could hardly believe she was actually on the front lines of gossip.

"Merlin, it's Liu Luoqing, Liu Luoqing..."

She leaned close to Xi Molin, extremely excited, and couldn't wait to take out her phone and take a picture of Liu Luoqing visiting the Shu family.

Qu Shiwei and Ding Meng both felt the timing was perfect and didn't want to look away, after all, this was a big star they had only seen on TV, and he looked even more handsome in person.

Shu Xiangjun was clearly taken aback, thinking that his sister had also returned, but he hadn't expected to come alone.

After a moment of stunned silence, a strong sense of panic surged through him, followed by a chill as if it were the dead of winter. However, despite his pale face, he maintained his composure.

The visitor's intention was obvious without needing to think too much about it.

Everyone else couldn't hide their excitement, but she alone kept her eyes down, gripping her chopsticks tightly until her knuckles turned white, the sounds of conversation seemingly coming from afar...

Fang Tian glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and noticed the fleeting moments of sadness in her eyes.

I felt terrible inside, and no matter how much I denied it, the true feelings I expressed couldn't be faked.

Shu Yunrong turned to the side, looking puzzled.

Liu Luoqing stepped forward and bowed very politely, saying, "Hello, Uncle, I am Liu Luoqing. Please excuse my sudden visit."

Shu Yunrong received a hint from his wife's eyes and said politely, "Hello, please sit down. We've just started eating, and you've come at the perfect time."

Liu Luoqing hesitated because the empty seat was occupied by her aunt, and felt embarrassed to sit down.

Yang Yufen understood what he meant, patted his shoulder, and her smile never faded: "Please sit down, don't be shy, I'll go get you a set of chopsticks and a bowl."

After Liu Luoqing sat down, Shu Yunrong introduced him from the left: "This is my second son, Xiao Jun. The one in the middle is my youngest daughter, Momo, Xiao Yu's most beloved person. The one next to her is Momo's comrade-in-arms, Qian Ni. Then there's Tian Tian, ​​Shi Wei, and Xiao Ding. They are all Momo's classmates."

Liu Luoqing nodded to them in turn to greet them.

Everyone responded with polite greetings.

Yang Yufen placed clean bowls, chopsticks, and wine glasses in front of him, then took her own and sat down next to Shu Xiangjun.

"Let's eat now, before the food gets cold."

Shu Yunrong spoke, and only then did everyone begin to pick up their chopsticks.

During the meal, everyone chatted and laughed.

Fang Tian and the others chatted about interesting things from the past, Lu Qianni talked about Xi Molin's deeds in the detachment, and Shu Xiangjun occasionally chimed in to liven up the atmosphere.

Schimerlin mostly kept his head down and ate his food, occasionally exchanging a few words, but he remained troubled and unable to find a solution to his problem.

Shu Yunrong chatted with Liu Luoqing casually, occasionally clinking glasses and drinking, creating a fairly lively atmosphere.

However, no one explicitly stated Liu Luoqing's purpose for coming here; it seemed that everyone tacitly understood.

"Mr. Liu, you and my sister... have a good relationship, right?"

Shu Xiangjun raised his wine glass to him and casually asked a question.

Liu Luoqing smiled gently and warmly: "Yes, it's fine."

"Does she know you're coming this time?"

These words startled Liu Luoqing slightly. Just as he was about to reply, Yang Yufen interjected, "Just drink your drink, why all the nonsense..."

Shu Xiangjun guessed some of the answer, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Looking at Mo Mo beside him out of the corner of his eye, he realized that she hadn't heard what they were talking about.
