The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

He took a closer look a few more times.

"Sorry, I have to go now..."

Her voice quickly disappeared into the bar.

Xi Juan was left standing there, stunned, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Just then, Xiao Yang came over from a short distance away, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, "It's okay. If you really like her, take your time to get to know her better."

"She probably has someone she likes..."

The deep voice was filled with disappointment and sadness.

"How did you tell?"

Xiao Yang was somewhat puzzled.

"She must have gone after that customer who just left, maybe someone she knows... Didn't you say she's been coming to the store for several days in a row?"

Xiao Yang then noticed that the familiar-looking mysterious female guest had indeed left.

Could her purpose be to wait for Merlin to appear here...? How could that be?

"But how did she know Merlin would come?"

Xi Juan gestured for Fu Lei to mix her a drink: "I don't know either... If we're destined to be together, we'll meet again even if we're thousands of miles apart."

Schimerling chased after him out of the bar, but the street was full of all sorts of young men and women, and she couldn't see where the person she was looking for had gone.

She wasn't sure if she was seeing things, or perhaps she wanted to escape the awkwardness of that moment, but the woman wearing the hat clearly looked exactly like her.

After searching everywhere to no avail, Ximerlin gradually lost confidence. Perhaps she was seeing things; she couldn't possibly call and ask if that person was really her.

Having already left the bar, she had no intention of going back. She understood Xi Juan's feelings, but since she couldn't give her an answer, why add to her troubles?

She then wandered aimlessly along the streets of Jiuyanqiao, which were full of bars and people coming and going, including many hawkers.

Despite the biting cold wind along the riverbank, everyone's enthusiasm for sightseeing and shopping remained undiminished.

She suddenly remembered Zhao Lei's song "Chengdu," which seemed strangely fitting at this moment...

Just as Shimmering was feeling down, the person she was looking for was surely standing ahead on the street.

The man seemed to have been waiting for quite some time, his gaze fixed firmly on her.

She should be happy, but her heart was pounding and she was hesitant.

Shu Xiangyu lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. She often hoped that she could take the initiative, but forgot that she was inherently introverted and mild-mannered, especially when it came to feelings.

Unless the feelings are clear, she always hesitates to take the plunge, unlike when they were together when she used to sweet-talk and flirt.

After a moment's thought, she was surprised to find that she had slowly approached her.

"sister…"

Shu Xiangyu raised her head slightly, her eyes softening: "I thought you wouldn't recognize me."

"How...did you come here?"

Schimerling's calmed heart suddenly tightened again.

She was always conflicted. She was really looking forward to seeing her, but when she actually met her, she didn't know how to interact with her casually.

"I've got nothing to do, so I'm just wandering around... let's chat as we go."

The two walked slowly toward a quieter neighborhood.

Schimerling really wanted to ask her how it could be such a coincidence.

She just had to walk into the bar owned by Xi Juan and Xiao Yang, and then she just had to run into her...

"Actually, I came to Chengdu this time mainly to help a friend with a few cameo roles. Since I couldn't get in touch with you, I asked Yin Jia from the medical team. She said you would be on vacation during this period, so I stayed after filming. Over the years, apart from the last training camp, I haven't been here much. I just wanted to spend the New Year with you here... Yin Jia also told me the location of the bar."

Her words perfectly explained her doubts.

As for the truth, besides learning from Yin Jia that she was on vacation, the location of the bar was a place she often went to drown her sorrows after silently sacrificing herself in her previous life, because the two owners were rare friends with whom she could talk about her past.

This has always been Shu Xiangyu's regret; she has rarely tried to understand her life or accompany her through important moments in her life as she grew up.

In her previous life, during this period, she not only became a stranger to him, but she also had to bear the pain of losing her comrade-in-arms alone.

Now she wants to make up for lost time, and even more so, to fill the void in her heart.

Upon learning of her plans, Ximerlin was not only somewhat surprised, but also inexplicably delighted, knowing that at least this New Year would be more lively.

"At the bar, I saw the owner..."

"I have nothing to do with her."

She realized what she wanted to ask and was unusually eager to deny it.

"But I think she treats you... quite specially."

Beneath the brim of his hat, a pair of deep, dark eyes revealed displeasure, and his tone was slightly bitter.

She only learned later, during a conversation with Xi Juan, that she actually harbored feelings for Momo.

"We're just ordinary friends, nothing more...related."

She knew perfectly well that what Xi Juan meant was not only to ask about her feelings for her, but also to express her possessiveness towards her.

However, even if she wanted to reject her now obvious feelings, she would no longer deceive herself with other people's feelings for her.

Shu Xiangyu took a deep breath quietly, and after a long silence, he looked up and asked her with a slight smile, "What about me?"

The seemingly casual question caught Xi Molin off guard, who was already in a state of confusion, and he didn't know how to answer her.

Looking up, she met those hopeful eyes. She clearly remembered that she had been rejected last time, so why was she still so persistent after several months?

The relatively quiet streets were still occasionally occupied by people, including cyclists.

"Mo Mo, what kind of words are you trying to use to make me back down again?"

She stepped forward slightly, getting closer to her, almost touching her.

The usually perceptive and thoughtful Shu Xiangyu was no longer as irrational as she had been when drunk; she wanted a clear answer now.

Why are you afraid to tell the answer in your heart?

Her relentless pressure made the previously silent Schimerlin flustered once again.

Even if you do have an answer in your heart, whether you say it or not, it can't solve all the problems.

My decision... will not change.

The deep, hoarse voice wasn't as resolute as I'd imagined.

Shu Xiangyu lowered his eyes and smiled coldly.

"I guessed right after all..."

Thinking that something unexpected might happen, she suddenly felt an unusual tightness in her chest.

Schimerling's hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched tightly, maintaining his rational composure throughout.

"Schmeling, what exactly are you afraid of?"

She pushed her away unwillingly, her angry roar drawing all eyes to her, and her reason was ultimately suppressed by her aroused emotions.

Shu Xiangyu really wanted to know what else she was worried about besides her parents.

Looking into her tearful eyes, Xi Molin felt as if his heart was being slashed by a sharp knife. She had clearly seen through him long ago, yet she still stubbornly wanted her to tell him the answer.
