When Mei Xiaofei rushed back from France, she only saw Xi Molin's martyr's tombstone. They had always kept in touch. Although Shu Xiangyu later left the company to start her own studio, their little-known friendship remained unchanged.

It's a pity that we met again in this situation!

"I remember how you always went ahead without hesitation, like a stubborn fool, fearless of everything, except for fear that Shu Xiangyu would be bullied, that she would be sad and heartbroken, that she wouldn't be able to achieve her wishes. Sigh... No wonder she always said you were a blockhead, inflexible and unable to make choices. Actually, you just truly loved her, didn't you? Because you loved her too much, you couldn't control your emotions, which is why it ended so abruptly. I haven't told Tongtong about your situation yet, because I'm afraid she can't accept it. As for her situation, I've always owed you a thank you. Thank you for helping Tongtong when she was in her most difficult time. As for Xiao Teng, he'll be out soon. I visit him every year. He's changed a lot. If you hadn't disregarded the past and rushed to save him in time, he might never have had a chance to change... Merlin, may you rest in peace. You've endured so much pain in this life. I hope that in your next life you will have a happy and fulfilling family, and grow old hand in hand with the one you love..."

She squatted in front of the tombstone, her eyes filled with sorrow, her expression solemn, and her words were also full of regret and reluctance.

After waiting for Mei Xiaofei to leave outside the cemetery, Chang Ming carried Bai Ju to the cemetery alone. He didn't stay long, only exchanging a few words. The two weren't close, and there was even some resentment between them, but he still hoped she could live well...

Mei Xiaofei stayed in Qizhou for two days. She left a message for Shu Xiangyu, wanting to see her before returning to France.

Shu Xiangyu, who had been missing for almost half a month, arrived at the Shu family's old house on Yangpu Street as promised and met Mei Xiaofei, whom he had not seen for three years.

The two stood on the dilapidated street, looking at the old, crumbling houses.

"This place should be demolished soon!"

Mei Xiaofei has grown her hair long, and she looks much better than before. Her eyes have lost much of their sharpness and gained more warmth and gentleness.

The once decisive and aloof person has finally changed.

Shu Xiangyu's complexion was still not good. Despite wearing light makeup, she could not hide the haggardness and sadness in her eyes.

"Yeah, almost."

"I went to Jiangyan to see Merlin..."

Shu Xiangyu lowered her head and didn't speak. She was still trapped in the pain of losing Silent and couldn't let go. Perhaps this was a fact she could never accept!

Mei Xiaofei took out a USB drive from her pocket and handed it to her: "There are things in here that you didn't know before. I didn't originally plan to let you know, but now that Merlin is gone, keep it as a memento. After reading it, you might understand how much a devoted fool once sacrificed for you!"

Shu Xiangyu took the USB drive as if she were receiving something incredibly heavy, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Was I too foolish before..." Her voice had become even more hoarse and choked with emotion.

Mei Xiaofei gave her a deep look and sighed, "In the chaotic entertainment industry, how much of her feelings could your choices possibly take into account? Even if she couldn't accept it at first, after all these years, I think she should understand your original intention in giving up, and she doesn't want to put you in a difficult position. So, she chose to let go and keep her love hidden deep inside..."

Little Momo, who lost her family and all meaning in life, gradually became more talkative and cheerful after coming to the Shu family. She also became very well-behaved and not only taught herself the harmonica, but also became very skilled in grappling and fighting!

Although she is aloof, she is incredibly kind and thoughtful. Being with her means you won't encounter gossip or betrayal. After becoming an armed police officer, she feels even more just and secure.

She called her sister again and again, and risked her life to protect her several times. Her feelings for her had been hidden deep in her heart since she was young, but she was slow to react and could not even understand and stay with her.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. She understood everything now, but it was too late. No matter what she did, she couldn't bring her back.

After that, she fell seriously ill and did not appear in public for a long time.

After recovering from her serious illness, Fang Tian learned about Merlin's situation from Shi Wei. She smiled faintly, tilted her head back, looked at the sky, and said calmly, "I know she's gone. She came to say goodbye and told me to live well..."

She never believed in ghosts or gods, but during the time she was unconscious, she seemed to sense that Merlin had come and talked to her a lot.

Later, she and several friends went to Merlin's hometown to pay their respects to her and her family. They poured her a lot of wine, said many words, and missed her dearly...

……

After that, year after year, Shu Xiangyu never had a romantic relationship with anyone after peacefully breaking up with Liu Luoqing, and even rumors about her became extremely rare.

She stopped letting the production team and entertainment reporters fabricate stories and hype her up at will, and focused on filming, working almost year-round, one project after another, ensuring both quality and a significant improvement in her acting skills.

It is said that ever since her sister passed away, she has always had a faint sadness in her eyes, which has given her many roles more depth.

At the age of thirty-five, Shu Xiangyu won the Feitian Award for Best Actress for her role as Chunyu in "Children of the Earth".

At the age of 42, Shu Xiangyu gave a heartfelt performance as the mother in the film "Deep Hidden," for which she was nominated for and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress.

Since then, she has won almost every major award in domestic and international television and film, and her impressive ratings and box office performance have left industry insiders in the dust. As an actress, the heights she has reached are unprecedented for her age!

At the age of 45, still beautiful, she began to move behind the scenes, no longer participating in any film or television dramas, and only occasionally appearing at award ceremonies. Her fans were saddened that they could no longer see her work, but she would still often share her daily life on Weibo.

Now, she has returned to Qizhou to live with her parents. When she has free time, she takes them to travel around the world. She always carries her harmonica with her, and when she thinks of her, she plays a tune.

At the age of fifty-two, both of Shu's parents had passed away. Shu Xiangyu lay in a small house in the mountains, where the morning sun shone down, carrying the scent of early autumn, and the birdsong was crisp and melodious.

In a daze, she heard someone calling her: "Yu Bao, Yu Bao, look, the tree has grown taller..."

That silly blockhead is still so young!

She had become emaciated, wrinkled, and covered in countless gray hairs due to liver cancer, looking incredibly ugly. Wouldn't that silly blockhead find her too old and unattractive?

"Yu Bao, come quick! I've been waiting for you for so long, let's go to the mountaintop to watch the sunrise..."

Shu Xiangyu closed her eyes, a happy and content smile on her lips. She was finally going to find Silly Wood. Her Silly Wood had waited for far too long. This time, she would never let go of her hand again. She wanted to be with her forever, never to be separated...

******

She didn't know how much time had passed, her consciousness was always hazy day and night. Reflecting the light of the day outside, Shu Xiangyu suddenly woke up from her dream. She looked around and found that she was in her home in Qizhou. There were still tear stains on her face. It turned out that it was dawn again!

When did she get home? Didn't she already die of illness in the mountains?

She touched her face, the sudden change leaving her somewhat bewildered. She hurriedly ran barefoot to the bathroom, where she saw herself looking as young as ever in the mirror. What had happened to her life before that?

Could it be that I've been reborn?!

How could this be?

What exactly happened that caused the time distortion? Or is what's happening now the reality, and that future accident, is it a hint from a dream, or did it actually happen?

She pinched herself hard; it hurt. But everything in front of her hadn't disappeared. Was she dreaming?

She then pulled out her phone and saw that the date was when Momo returned from her family visit leave, which meant that Momo was still alive!

Such thoughts immediately flooded her mind, instantly igniting her dormant heart.

Memories from several decades of his previous life also began to surface.

She vaguely recalled that the following year, Mo Mo sacrificed herself in an earthquake. From then on, she devoted herself to acting and completely closed herself off. After living a lonely life for twenty years, she passed away in the mountains with her niece Miao Miao by her side.

In the countless days and nights after losing Momo, she would always remember the fact that she was gone, and waves of heart-wrenching pain would suddenly strike, making it unbearable for her.

The endless pain not only tormented her, but also made her realize that she had long been deeply in love with Momo. However, surrounded by the dazzling and colorful world, she was blinded, chose the wrong path, and hurt her most innocent heart. She was too foolish, too stupid, and too ignorant.

Just then, Shu Xiangjun knocked on the door and called out, "Sister, are you awake?"

"Well, wake up."

She responded weakly, then, holding onto the bed, put on her slippers.

"Your parents want you to come downstairs to talk to them about something."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

When she stood in front of the bathroom mirror again, looking at her youthful self, she should have been happy, but she was also uneasy. After washing off the smell of alcohol, she changed into her home clothes, put on a light jacket, grabbed her phone, and went downstairs to the living room, where she saw her parents, who were still young and healthy, and her handsome younger brother.

She and Shu Xiangjun sat side by side on the sofa, chatting. Her parents tentatively asked her if she had anyone she liked. If not, they wanted her to go on blind dates. Shu Xiangjun, who was well-versed in the online world, teased her about her rumored relationship with Liu Luoqing.

At this moment, Shu Xiangyu, who possessed a long sense of time, did not feel disgusted by their discussion of blind dates. She simply leaned comfortably on her younger brother's shoulder, looking at her parents who were still young and healthy, and a sense of happiness welled up in her heart. She had truly achieved what others could only dream of!

The topic quickly turned to Momo again. Shu Xiangyu suddenly remembered something, her expression froze, and then she hurriedly got up and ran to the door, where she and Xi Molin, who had been standing in the entryway for who knows how long, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just like before!

It turns out she was here all day, and she overheard their conversation…

Schimerlin felt a little embarrassed and was about to lower his head.

Seeing the silly wooden figure standing right in front of her, Shu Xiangyu's mind went completely blank, as if in a dream. Overwhelmed with nervous excitement, she didn't think of anything else and immediately rushed over, hugging him tightly.

Schimerling was clearly still a bit stunned!

What is she up to?

Why have they suddenly become so intimate and affectionate?

The feeling of Shu Xiangyu embracing her was so real! So much more real than in his dream!

"Silently, silently..."

Unaware of the situation, Ximerlin's heart also raced at her actions. She asked in a low, husky voice, "What...is wrong?"

Shu Xiangyu didn't hesitate to sink into her slightly cool neck, her arms tightening around her. Long-dormant emotions poured out all at once, how could she control her emotions on the verge of collapse!

After a long pause, she choked out, "I miss you so much..."

The short sentence, which only they could hear, instantly made Ximerlin's already bewildered heart even more uneasy, yet she could not ignore the deep-seated stirring within her.

As Yang Yufen called out to them, Shu Xiangyu gradually recovered. She slowly released her, her eyes filled with tears. The two looked at each other, but there was a sense of unfamiliarity between them.

"MoMo, it's been a long time..."

More than twenty years have passed since they were separated by death. Her longing and concern have long since overwhelmed her thoughts at this moment, replaced by a deep affection that she cannot express.

"haven't seen you for a long time…"

Schimerlin nodded blankly, looking down.

"It's been such a long, long time since we last saw each other!"

Shu Xiangyu's voice trembled slightly, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Aunt Yang is calling us, let's go over there first."

She avoided her captivating gaze, and as she spoke, she walked past her, carrying the chestnuts, and into the living room.

Shu Xiangyu glanced at her back, then quickly looked down at her trembling hands. Her fair face was flushed from the emotional outburst, and it was faintly burning. She couldn't be too hasty or frighten her. She had to slowly win back Mu Tou's heart.
