With four days left on their family visit leave, Xi Molin and Lu Qianni finally drove back to Qizhou in the evening!

However, both of them had been tanned several shades darker by the intense ultraviolet rays of the plateau, to the point that Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen almost didn't recognize them.

Xi Molin and Lu Qianni exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly, "We didn't take proper sun protection measures at first, and after a few days in the sun, it was too late."

Although they were a bit dark-skinned, it wasn't a big problem for them as armed police officers. As long as they could get home safely, that was all that mattered. Shu's parents didn't say much. That evening, Yang Yufen cooked a lot of her signature dishes to welcome them home.

After a comfortable night's rest at the Shu family's house, Lu Qianni took advantage of having a few days left and set off back to her hometown.

When Shu Xiangjun learned that Mo Mo had returned from her trip and would be going back to Jiangyan in a few days, he wanted to go home to chat with her. However, the project was in full swing and he had to stay on site to oversee it, so he couldn't leave. He also asked about Shu Xiangyu's current schedule, only to find out that she was in France shooting advertising materials and couldn't come back for the time being.

Xi Molin didn't care much. She and Qian Ni drove out of Tibet and headed home without stopping, just wanting to spend some more time with their parents.

As for Shu Xiangyu and Liu Luoqing's relationship, she didn't talk much about it with her parents at the time, and admitted that she wasn't pregnant and that they were just dating as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Although the couple was somewhat disappointed when their expectations were dashed, for them, the real joy would be if they actually talked about getting married, since relationships in the entertainment industry often don't last long.

Shermerling just smiled bitterly and didn't say much about it. During this time, she had been trying to calm herself down from her insane jealousy. Perhaps only when she was far away from all of this could she truly be free from desires.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't see her friend Fang Tian during the remaining few days of her holiday. As a police officer, she was extremely busy, traveling around investigating cases all year round.

The night before her departure, Xi Molin quietly went up to the third floor and placed the gift she hadn't been able to give in person in Shu Xiangyu's room. The gift wasn't expensive; it was just a small token of her appreciation. She didn't know when they would see each other again, and she only hoped to leave no regrets.

As she was about to leave, she looked around the room again. Compared to the small bedroom in her old house, this place was obviously more spacious and luxurious. There was a walk-in closet, a dressing table, a jewelry cabinet, a floating bed, and a large private balcony. Every detail and color was to her liking. This was perhaps her long-held wish to have her own private space at home.

When she arrived at the Shu family home with Rong's father, all that was left was a dusty storage room. Even if it were cleaned, it wouldn't be suitable as a bedroom. It was dark and damp, and the window overlooked another family's toilet.

After the family discussed it, she started sharing a room with her sister and even slept together at night. Naturally, her sister also used her wardrobe, desk, and computer, which took up most of her private space. However, she never said anything and even seemed quite happy about it.

In truth, she had always cherished and cared for herself, but she was too greedy; what she wanted was far too precious…

After closing the door, she calmly returned to the bedroom and began to organize her clothes. There weren't many items, and she quickly folded them and put them in her suitcase. Then she cleaned and wiped the room clean, leaving no stains, as if no one had ever lived there.

That night, she ate takeout barbecue with Rong's father and Yang's mother in the living room, drinking red wine and chatting for half the night. As she gradually became drunk, she slowly returned to her room, washed up, and lay down, but found herself unable to fall asleep!

Her mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic thoughts, a jumble of everything, a hazy, dreamlike state. She tossed and turned for what seemed like an eternity before suddenly grabbing her phone, throwing off the covers, getting out of bed, slipping on her slippers, and groping her way to open the door in the dim light. Still half-asleep, she made her way up to the third floor.

When she stopped at the door of Shu Xiangyu's bedroom, she didn't think too much about it. Anyway, she wasn't home, and if she went in to sleep for three or four hours, no one should notice.

She opened the door and entered the house quietly, without turning on the lights.

Lying in bed again, apart from the faint, familiar fragrance emanating from the pillowcases, it seemed no different from her own bed. Yet, she cherished this stolen moment. She lay on her side, pulling the bedding into her arms and holding it tightly, as if she were holding a lover she had longed for. Perhaps feeling at peace, sleep gradually crept in. Although she drifted into a dream, tears had unknowingly slid down her cheeks, wetting the pillow.

She slept soundly until six in the morning. Unlike usual, Xi Molin didn't wake up naturally; instead, she slept exceptionally soundly. The alarm clock rang on time, and she subconsciously reached for her phone. When she saw that it was already six o'clock, she turned off the alarm, closed her eyes again, and dozed off for a while to clear her somewhat confused mind.

Just then, the light outside the window began to brighten slightly. She sat up, looked around the room, and her hazy thoughts suddenly came to her senses. She had actually gone to sleep in her sister's room last night!

Suddenly, she became clear-headed, quickly got up to tidy the messy bed, and then quietly returned to her room.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she washed her face with water. There were faint dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well. Her eyes were also dull and lifeless. She was somewhat annoyed that she always said one thing and did another! Fortunately, the two of them rarely had the chance to meet, so she didn't need to hide too much from her.

After washing up and calming himself down, Xi Molin went downstairs, where Yang Yufen had already gotten up early to prepare a sumptuous breakfast.

She sighed inwardly. She had wanted to get up early to make them breakfast, but it still couldn't compare to Yang Ma's thoughtfulness.

When Lu Qianni arrived at the Shu family home from her hometown to meet Merlin, it was almost nine o'clock. Just like when they picked them up from their home, Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen escorted them from the airport this time.

With boarding time approaching, Yang Yufen still reminded Momo not to delay her marriage. They didn't have high expectations for the man. As long as he loved her, treated her well, and had a harmonious relationship with his parents, they would be at ease. As for his family background, they didn't ask for great wealth, just a reasonable income and expenditure, no gambling or reckless behavior, and a simple life would be fine.

To put their minds at ease, Schimerlin had no choice but to agree to each of their requests.

As parting drew near, she couldn't hide her sadness. Since entering the Armed Police University, she had had very few days to spend with them. Often, it was they who visited her more often. They had devoted themselves to raising her for over a decade, and the love and guidance they had given her was no less than what they had given her sister and Xiangjun. Yet, besides endless gratitude, she also felt an unspeakable guilt. This conflicting feeling often made her doubt herself, wondering if she truly deserved their selfless love...

After a heartfelt farewell hug to Rong's parents, Xi Molin and Lu Qianni slowly pushed their suitcases into the waiting room, but she kept turning back to wave until they could no longer see each other.

After saying goodbye to their two children, the couple felt a deep reluctance to part with Momo, but they could only keep it to themselves.

They brought her home when she was thirteen. Thirteen years later, she had become an outstanding Chinese Armed Police officer. They were proud and gratified that she had not let her family down and had not felt inferior.

When the plane landed at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, Xi Molin and Lu Qianni were rushing to catch the subway when they unexpectedly saw a huge advertisement on the wall of the passageway. In the picture, Shu Xiangyu was holding the latest mobile phone, wearing a sexy red dress, with a long neck, a distinct collarbone, and her fair and slender long legs were faintly visible. She looked absolutely stunning! She appeared charming and passionate, elegant and intellectual.

Looking at her, Lu Qianni sighed inexplicably, "Anyone who could marry her would be laughing in their sleep! She's just too beautiful..."

Schimerlin gripped the suitcase handle tightly, then looked away from Youzhuo's complex and cold gaze without uttering a word.

Shu Xiangyu has been learning dance since she was a child, day after day without stopping. Her natural elegance today is also the result of the foundation she laid during that time. Only her family knows how much sweat and hardship she had to put in to achieve such an enviable figure.

Now her dazzling star shines throughout the country, and she still has many fans who love her. She has also found a like-minded lover in her thirties, and it is time for me to completely say goodbye to the past that is entangled with her!

She should have realized her place and adjusted her mindset long ago. As ordinary as she is, how could she expect to obtain that dazzling star, and what ability does she have to give her everything she wants?

She once longed to marry her, but now, looking back, she realizes how utterly delusional and self-aware she was, how ridiculous she was…

After finally getting back to her dormitory at the detachment, Xi Molin closed the door, took out her luggage, packed it up, and cleaned the room before finally sitting down at her computer desk, exhausted.

Since learning that she had announced her relationship, she hadn't dared to think about those things in detail. Her feigned strength could finally be released without restraint at this moment. Perhaps for her, there was no need to dwell on anything anymore, after all, her future happiness was none of her concern.

After hesitating for a long time, she opened the WeChat chat box with only a few words, quickly typed out a line, and this time she didn't hesitate for too long before sending it: "Sister, I have successfully returned to the team. I saw what happened between you and Liu Luoqing online. I sincerely wish you happiness."

The distance between them is now like an insurmountable chasm; they have gone to two completely different worlds. She will always be the brightest star, while I am just a silent guardian in the mountains.

That secret love affair was like a beautiful dream, but when the dream shattered, it became a fleeting memory. For me, having had it was already a blessing.

But she had to admit that she was extremely jealous and envious of Liu Luoqing. He was not only the first person to openly and honestly date her, but he also didn't have to worry about any discriminatory looks from the world. Her feelings and intentions, on the other hand, could only be deeply hidden and never seen the light of day. She didn't say anything, and no one would know. It would eventually become her secret alone!

After sending the message, she was unexpectedly relieved.

It's time to put an end to this relationship that ended without a trace. From now on, there will be no more expectations or fantasies, no more sadness and pain that I can't understand, and no more being trapped in the past.

Give up completely, bury all the love from the past!
