The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

Chengdu, Shuangliu Airport.

Lu Qianni and Xi Molin's destination was Qizhou City. However, Qianni's home was in Qingding District, which was two hours away from the city center. The two agreed that when they arrived in Qizhou tonight, she would stay at Molin's house for one night and then set off for her hometown the next day.

When the two arrived at the baggage check-in area, there were still many passengers queuing ahead of them, so they lined up in an orderly fashion at the back, without taking the preferential treatment given to military personnel.

As they approached the counter, Xi Molin noticed the two girls ahead of them struggling to carry five or six large suitcases. She put her ID in her pocket, walked over, and said calmly, "I'll help you..."

As she spoke, she turned and walked inside, effortlessly lifting all the suitcases onto the conveyor belt in just a few moments.

Both girls were slightly surprised; they had initially thought it was a man, but it turned out to be a woman!

She was wearing a navy blue jacket over a white shirt, the shirt tucked into tight black jeans, making her legs look straight and long. Paired with brown Martin boots, she looked both British and handsome. Her seemingly slender body was tall and upright, with an imposing presence, and her arm strength was beyond imagination!

They nodded quickly to express their gratitude, but Xi Molin simply gestured that they were welcome and then returned to Lu Qianni's side.

Lu Qianni, who had been engrossed in watching videos, looked up and frowned slightly. She teased in a low voice, "You really are a helpful person! You used so much force, are your arms alright?"

Schimerlin lowered his head and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Then they waited quietly for the two girls to complete the formalities.

When it was their turn, the process was completed in no time. The two of them didn't have much luggage, and it wasn't overweight.

After checking in their luggage, with plenty of time before boarding, the two strolled leisurely towards the waiting area. As they walked, Lu Qianni, who was looking down at her phone, suddenly exclaimed, "Wow! Merlin, look! Shu Xiangyu actually showed up in Shanghai today for a ribbon-cutting ceremony! There are so many people there..."

Excitedly, she held her phone up to Xi Molin's face. Suddenly, through her sunglasses, she saw a video on Douyin, probably recorded by a fan. Although it was a bit shaky, she could still clearly see Shu Xiangyu surrounded by countless people in front of the shop. If it weren't for the numerous security guards protecting her, she would have been overwhelmed by the huge crowd in less than a minute.

The video is only a few dozen seconds long, but it has already received over ten thousand likes, comments, favorites, and shares.

The usually composed Ximerlin was startled by her sudden action, his expression momentarily stunned, and his eyes inevitably fell upon the graceful woman who looked like an immortal.

She was still so beautiful, so breathtaking…

At this moment, she is unlike any character in film or television dramas. Years of dedicated study in acting have allowed her to portray different lives. In those days of joy, sorrow, bitterness, and sweetness, her once singular soul has acquired multiple identities, which has cultivated her unique confidence and depth. She has long since turned the label of "pretty face" that was once given to her into her own advantage, and her future is bright!

These two people, who seem to have no connection whatsoever, truly have no relationship anymore. Regardless of their circumstances, everything about her is no longer relevant to her.

As he pondered, his eyes gradually shifted from surprise to sadness, until they fell silent…

Lu Qianni didn't notice her strange behavior. She quickly put her phone away and went straight to the trending topics list, where she could see more videos taken from different angles.

"It's so rare to see her outside of TV and award ceremonies. She's so beautiful, slim, and sexy! She's just too low-key! She should show her face more often..."

Hearing her exclamation, Xi Molin's brows furrowed involuntarily. Images flashed through her mind of how she had argued vehemently against the various variety shows and reality shows the company had arranged for her, which had led to her being sidelined by the agency for a period of time.

She gently adjusted her sunglasses with her knuckles, her voice casual yet deep as she said, "She has never liked participating in variety shows, and she doesn't take on many commercials. Aside from filming and promotions, she prefers to stay at home. Occasionally, she'll meet up with friends and go shopping. It's quite rare to be able to get her to come!"

Hearing Merlin speak so naturally and fluently about her understanding of Shu Xiangyu's personality, Lu Qianni's eager gaze shifted from the screen to Merlin's face, and then she asked meaningfully, "How do you know so much! You actually kept it from me and secretly followed her. You're so unfair! I usually don't have anyone to talk to about these things, and you actually kept it a secret and pretended not to know..."

There weren't many female soldiers in the team, and the male soldiers were all rather naive. They were shy and reserved when they saw the women, blushing for a long time after saying a few words, and always stammering. Sometimes, they couldn't even find someone to talk to.

Faced with her accusations and complaints, Schimerlin realized he had misspoke, so he quickly went to the waiting room and casually replied, "I just read a report about her, and that's what it said."

"Don't try to fool me, you know her situation so well..."

Lu Qianni caught up with her and seemed to have discovered a big secret. After all, Xi Molin was known in the team for being serious and never smiling. She was also very serious in her dealings with others, and it was rare to hear her talk about anything other than training.

Schimerlin, however, remained expressionless and continued forward, ignoring her questions.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qianni's gossipy nature took hold, and she relentlessly pressed Xi Molin for answers. Unable to resist her persistent questioning, Xi Molin could only offer a few perfunctory replies.

"She's so famous, any random entertainment article online can analyze her thoroughly, don't you know that?"

Lu Qianni naturally knew, but she didn't expect that someone as detached from worldly affairs would also care about these things. The gossip that was about to rise in her heart gradually died down. After all, she often recommended these things to her, so it was not surprising that she knew them. So she said awkwardly, "Of course I know... But since you know so much about Shu Xiangyu, do you like her? And what about the TV shows and movies she's acted in?"

Shimmerling paused slightly, a fleeting shadow of gloom crossing her face, but she quickly regained her composure and continued forward, coldly replying with three words: "I don't like it..."

Lu Qianni seemed to have been mentally prepared, and did not try to reason with her by saying nice things about Shu Xiangyu to change her mind about 'disliking' him. After all, it was indeed a bit difficult to make her like these entertainment stars.

When they arrived at the waiting room, there was still some time before boarding. While the two were resting, two girls who had helped with their luggage check-in came up to them with small gifts.

"Hello there!"

When Shimmering looked up and saw it was them, he put away his phone, stood up, and politely replied, "Hello!"

The slightly taller girl gently handed her the gift, saying, "Thank you for helping us just now. This is a token of our appreciation, and we hope you like it."

Xi Molin smiled and politely declined, saying, "It was nothing, no need to be so polite. I appreciate your kindness, thank you."

The girl was taken aback by the refusal and paused for a moment, but still smiled and said, "They're just some snacks, you don't have to feel guilty. You can take them home for your kids."

Seeing that she said that it wasn't anything valuable, Ximerlin had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Thanks…"

"Um... can we add each other on WeChat?"

The girl held her phone in both hands, her eyes filled with expectation, her bright and gentle appearance was truly beautiful.

Schimerling wanted to refuse, but felt a little embarrassed and couldn't find a good excuse, so he could only reply in a low voice, "Okay."

The girl then showed her WeChat QR code, and while she was scanning it, she continued to introduce herself: "My surname is Xi, the Xi of Chairman, and my given name is Juan, the Juan of Juanxiu. I'm from Jiangyan. This time I'm traveling to Haishi with my best friend Xiao Yang..."

As soon as Xi Molin scanned the QR code on WeChat, he heard her introduction and immediately looked up at her, somewhat surprised, and said, "I also have the surname Xi, Xi Molin. Mo means silence, and Lin means forest. I'm also from Jiangyan, but I'm from Chengmu County!"

"What a coincidence! We not only share the same surname, but we also come from the same place!"

Xi Juan also found it somewhat unbelievable.

But after they added each other on WeChat, before they could exchange more pleasantries, Xi Juan and Xiao Yang had to rush to board their plane. Before leaving, the two girls thanked each other again.

After the two had walked away, Lu Qianni stood up and said meaningfully, "Merlin, did you notice how tender and ambiguous the girl's eyes were when she looked at you?"

Schimerlin glanced at her again, handed her the bag, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense..."

Lu Qianni took the snacks, her smile undiminished: "I'm not making this up. Don't you think her eyes are sparkling like stars when she looks at you?"

Schimerlin sat down again and retorted, "It was just a chance encounter, and besides, she's a girl. What are you thinking!"

"What's wrong with that! Many young people date these days, and most are accepting of it..."

Lu Qianni spoke casually and without any hesitation, then started rummaging through the snacks. But what she said made Xi Molin shudder. It was as if a secret she had kept deep in her heart had suddenly been revealed to the world. But no one else would know. She was flustered and confused, afraid that someone had really seen through her thoughts.

Her deep gaze turned to Lu Qianni, who was unpacking snacks. She had been out of touch with the world of the same sex for a long time and rarely saw reports about these things online. Little did she know that in today's diverse and open online society, the attitudes of young people have undergone earth-shattering changes.

……

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was underway until 10:30 a.m., when the road outside the store became extremely congested due to the large number of fans. Security guards and traffic police were doing their best to clear the congestion, but they couldn't stop the highly popular Shu Xiangyu from appearing there. In addition, many more people had learned about the event online and were still trying to get there. Seeing that the congestion was getting worse, Shu Xiangyu had to leave the event site with his assistant Cheng Chen after discussing with the organizers.

As soon as he boarded the van, countless fans swarmed around him, excitedly pressing against the windows. Driver Xu Lei carefully followed the traffic police's directions and quickly drove away at the end of the road. Some of the more enthusiastic fans even followed closely in their cars until they could no longer keep up, at which point they finally stopped!

Just then, Shu Xiangyu's private phone rang, and Cheng Chen handed it to her.

A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiang Yu, you've worked hard today. Thank you for helping with the promotion. Next time I have time, I'll cook for you myself and treat you to authentic local cuisine."

"You're too kind. I'll definitely come by then. I also wish you a prosperous business."

Shu Xiangyu's elegant voice is deep and pleasant to the ear.

"Thank you for your kind words. I'll hang up now. I have a lot of things to do here. Let's chat again when we have time."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye-Bye…"

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Chen asked as usual, "Sister Yu, Director Zhao is treating us to dinner tonight. It's still early, shall we go home and rest?"

Shu Xiangyu didn't speak, but instead looked down and opened the WeChat voice message: "Xiaoyu, Momo finally has time to take a family visit leave. She will arrive in Qizhou around 3 pm today. Xiaojun will also be back. Come home and get together when you have time. It's been a long time since you three siblings have seen each other."

Shu Yunrong sent it at 9:30, and her words clearly showed that she was both happy and excited.

Shu Xiangyu's expression, which had just been slightly pleased, suddenly became serious and frozen after hearing the voice message, and his eyes trembled slightly.

Quietly taking my family visit leave!

She finally agreed to come back!

They really hadn't seen each other for a long time!

Her parents didn't tell her in advance, leaving her completely unprepared!

Over the years, she and Xiangjun have met frequently, since they both travel around Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou. However, Momo, who has been in the army for many years, has not been home for almost four years. Every time, she gives the excuse that she is too busy with training or has some mission. Later, her parents missed her so much that they would go to Jiangyan to visit her whenever they had time, and travel around Sichuan, including western Sichuan and Ganzi by car.

Xiangjun accompanied her several times, but he, who was once closest to her, never went even once!

Perhaps she was too harsh on her back then. After they broke up, she never contacted her again, and neither did she, even though they used to be so close!

Seeing her frowning, Cheng Chen asked, somewhat uncertain about the upcoming schedule, "Sister Yu... should we turn down Director Zhao's invitation?"

Shu Xiangyu looked at her phone and said indifferently, "No need, let's go home first."

After hesitating for a while, she replied to her father's message: "Okay, I'll come back when I have time."

Then, she opened the WeChat contact named Momo. The profile picture had changed to a picture of a majestic mountain range taken under a beautiful and magnificent sunset, while their chat interface was blank.

Four years ago, she deleted everything about the two of them, keeping only their contact information. Neither of them took the initiative to contact the other on birthdays or holidays. In their family and friends group chat, they tacitly avoided chatting or mentioning each other. When they occasionally posted on their WeChat Moments, they would set it to only show posts from the last three days, truly ensuring that they would not disturb each other.

Compared to the years when communication was not so advanced, when they had endless things to talk about every day and shared every little detail of their lives, their current lack of contact seems a bit too deliberate!

She sighed softly, and a hint of indescribable sorrow suddenly appeared in her deep eyes. Her heart, which had been silent for so long, began to ache faintly.

We were entangled for too long and too deeply. Even though so much time has passed, I still feel deeply guilty towards her. She broke her promise first, so how can I be completely at peace with myself?
