The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

Xi Molin placed the chestnuts on the coffee table and sat down in the empty seat next to Shu Xiangjun. When Shu Xiangyu came over, she looked at Mo Mo and paused slightly before sitting down next to her as well.

This made Shimmerling a little uncomfortable, and she casually shifted her position.

As Shu Xiangyu peeled chestnuts, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that she was deliberately avoiding him, and his eyes darkened slightly.

"Sis, you're unusually enthusiastic towards Momo today..."

Shu Xiangjun saw through her little scheme and couldn't help but tease her.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, what's wrong with being a little warmer?"

Shu Xiangyu retorted to him while keeping an eye on Mo Mo's reaction.

Shu Xiangjun pulled Momo's arm, feigning to sow discord: "Don't believe her. If she really missed you, how could she not have gone to Jiangyan to see you for so long!"

These words completely snapped the already tense nerves in both of them.

As he said, it was all an illusion and a deliberate act.

Shu Xiangyu gripped the chestnut tightly, wishing he could punch Shu Xiangjun a few times.

The spark that Shimmerling had just ignited was instantly extinguished by him!

Yang Yufen then mentioned introducing outstanding boys to Momo.

As in the past, Schimerlin also spoke about settling down in Jiangyan in the future.

As in the past, the couple expressed their respect for her choice and had no objections.

Shu Xiangyu felt that his life was heading in the same direction as before, and he thought about how Mo Mo was deliberately distancing herself from him, as well as the earthquake that was yet to come.

The hidden pain and despair in her heart surged up again. She pretended to be angry, left a sentence, and turned to go upstairs again.

When she first woke up, Shu Xiangyu was not mentally prepared. Now she suddenly realized that the events that happened in the two lifetimes were almost exactly the same!

If she hadn't known in advance, she might have repeated the same mistakes. Now that she has been reborn, she can definitely change the course of many things. She needs to calm down and sort everything out.

"Oh no, my sister's angry! Momo, go and comfort her..."

If he can't be appeased, the blame for his embellishment and quiet settlement will likely fall on him, and he'll definitely suffer the consequences.

Xi Molin never expected that her sister would care so much about her settling down in Jiangyan!

Shouldn't her staying away and no longer bothering her be what she wanted?

As Shu Xiangyu pondered in her bedroom, she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, not long after she returned to her room, she silently followed her outside.

But at the time, no one took the initiative to open that door; they all chose to avoid it.

This time, she heard light footsteps stop in the hallway by the door. She waited quietly for a while, but that silly blockhead still didn't knock on the door.

Just as Schimerin was hesitating and preparing to leave, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Shu Xiangyu stood at the door, staring intently at her back as she stood to the side, and whispered, "Wood!"

Hearing the sound, Xi Molin turned to look at her, her eyes filled with surprise. When she realized that Xi Molin was staring at her without any attempt to hide it, she quietly looked away, afraid that Xi Molin would see through her hidden thoughts.

"Come here for a moment, I need to tell you something..."

Shu Xiangyu abandoned his superficial reserve and began to take the initiative.

However, Schimerling remained standing in place, seemingly with no intention of going over.

She is now more like a contradiction. She misses her very much, but when she is alone with her, she, who is usually decisive and efficient in the team, not only begins to shrink back physically, but also feels somewhat bewildered and helpless.

Shu Xiangyu could not hide his sorrow; this man was still so dull and dazed!

She didn't seem to have much time to think about or worry about the fact that their relationship was in the past. As long as she thought about the pain of losing her, the despair of not being able to get her back no matter what she did, her heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

After calming her chaotic and agitated mind, she quickly walked over, reached out and took her hand. The cool touch met the warm touch, and without saying a word, she led her into the house and closed the door.

Stunned, Shimmering tensed up instantly at her sudden intimate gesture, her heart clenching, but she still let her do as she pleased.

Then Shu Xiangyu pressed her down to sit on the edge of the bed, and the next moment she saw her sitting on her lap without any hesitation! Her arms naturally wrapped around her neck, and the two of them were facing each other so close.

Her beautiful and delicate appearance amazed her when they first met in her youth, and now time has bestowed upon her an increasingly exquisite elegance and intellect, which is so captivating and mesmerizing every time you look at her!

As a talented actress in many popular dramas, her own charisma and artistic influence have made her temperament more refined and reserved.

She is so beautiful and graceful, like the moon, and is loved by so many! And secretly, so many people long to have her!

Perhaps no one would believe it if it were told, but a household name like this is what a celebrity is like in private.

But this sudden intimacy left Shimmering completely bewildered; their relationship seemed to have lost some of its former warmth…

Looking at the lively, silly girl right in front of me, holding her in my arms felt like having the whole world!

Shu Xiangyu could no longer contain her longing and excitement. She missed the faint sandalwood scent on her body, a unique fragrance that she could never find again.

Her slightly cool palm slowly moved from the back of her head to her face, her index finger gently tracing her eyebrows, eyes, and bridge of her nose, feeling her normal body temperature, her gentle and charming gaze meeting her deep eyes.

"Wood, let's start over, okay..."

Her words, spoken so easily, exploded in Shimmerling's mind like a thunderbolt. Her eyes widened in shock, her brain seemingly short-circuited, leaving her completely at a loss for how to react or respond.

Confused and disoriented, as if in a dream, she thought she had misheard.

restart?

Will they become secret lovers again?

But the price is that they will be ruthlessly abandoned when they need to be evaluated, disliked as a worthless burden, and even more so as to be dispensable.

Seeing that she was stunned and silent, Shu Xiangyu knew that she couldn't accept it for the time being, but her heart was absolutely certain at this moment!

She wants to get back together with her, rekindle their romance, and accompany her through the rest of her life...

She lowered her head, her nose touching hers, both feeling cool. Light and long breaths brushed against Ximerlin's face, and without any hesitation, she kissed those soft lips.

This caught Schimerling completely off guard, and his heart seemed to stop beating!

When the delicate touch on her tongue came over her, she suddenly realized what was happening. With her last bit of rationality, she quickly stood up and pushed her away. She even took several steps back to the side.

"Can't!"

Shu Xiangyu was disappointed by her resistance, but not angry. He still wanted to get closer to her and hold her hand: "You don't need to answer me right away. Wait until you've thought it over..."

Schimerlin took two steps back again, dodging her outstretched hand, and coldly questioned her, "What new movie are you planning to make this time, trying to find inspiration from me?"

Her behavior from the moment she entered the house until now has been extremely abnormal!

Before she returned, the two of them had not communicated at all. Could a choice that someone had persisted in for years really change so quickly in just a few hours?

"I don't…"

Shu Xiangyu lowered his empty hand, looking flustered, as if his heart had been stabbed by a sharp blade.

"Enough! You were the one who said in the past that we could only ever be sisters. You were only so kind to me out of pity... I accept your choice, and I won't stand in the way of your dreams, so please stop toying with my feelings..."

Schimerlin's refusal was obvious. After speaking, she prepared to leave, not wanting to fall into this dazed and confused state.

"Mo Mo, wait..."

Shu Xiangyu was extremely anxious at this moment and hurriedly called out to her, "I know I hurt you in the past, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, but this time I'm serious, I've loved you all these years..."

Schimerling gripped the doorknob, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm his anxious heart.

A moment later, her heavy voice, tinged with pain, came through: "I have completely let go of the past feelings. If you really care about me, please... don't give me any more hope or illusions."

Watching her resolute departure, Shu Xiangyu slumped to the edge of the bed. She didn't continue to explain her true feelings to her, knowing that this matter couldn't be rushed.

But if this is a dream of atonement, then let her complete it before it ends!

In her previous life, she had let down the man who had been so devoted to her. This time, she only hoped to make up for all the regrets. Even if the dream eventually ended, she was willing to accept it. More importantly, she could never lose him again!

After leaving the third floor, Schimerlin did not go to the living room, but went straight back to his room.

She went to the bathroom, closed the door, turned on the tap, and quickly splashed several handfuls of cold water on her face, trying to cool down her restless heart.

She braced her hands on the sink, looking up at herself in the mirror. Water droplets were still sliding down her cheeks, and her hair was damp and clumped over her forehead. Her bright eyes looked even more profound, and her pale face was tinged with a blush.

However, even after a long while, she still couldn't calm down!

She simply couldn't ignore the sudden closeness and the thrilling kiss; it all happened so fast that she was completely unprepared!

From the moment she rose at dawn, her mood fluctuated with her every move. She, who was usually calm and composed in the face of adversity, realized at this moment that she could not treat her the same way at all, and even restraint was difficult for her.

She lowered her head helplessly; this feeling of being unable to control herself was too painful!

How can she avoid her unwarranted advances? She really doesn't want any more emotional entanglement with her, and she doesn't want to fall into that desperate and painful situation again...

As the sumptuous dishes were laid out on the table, Shu Xiangjun, suppressing her cravings, walked to the top of the stairs, looked up, and shouted loudly upstairs, "Sis, Momo, come downstairs for dinner..."

The deafening sound echoed throughout the house, and soon the echoes came back.

"Okay, I'll be right down."

Shu Xiangyu did not take the elevator down, but instead walked slowly down the stairs.

As soon as she reached the second-floor corridor, she encountered Xi Molin, who was walking out of his room. The two looked up at each other, their expressions seemingly calm and composed, but their inner thoughts were already churning.

"Let's go down together."

Shu Xiangyu smiled, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

She had tried her best to calm her agitated mood. She didn't say anything, pretending nothing had happened, and followed slowly behind her with her head down.

Yang Yufen, who was setting the table, saw them come down at the same time and their expressions were fine. She assumed that the two had finished their conversation and didn't ask any more questions.

During the meal, Shu Xiangjun, unable to contain her curiosity, leaned next to Xi Molin and whispered, "Wooden head, how did you manage to appease your older sister?"

As Xi Molin picked up food with her chopsticks, she looked up and saw the beautiful woman across from her slowly chewing her food, and her heart clenched for no reason.

She quickly looked away, not intending to explain her doubts, and simply replied with two words: "I didn't coax you..."

The little flame of gossip that had ignited in Shu Xiangjun's heart was instantly extinguished by her calm and self-control. He knew that as long as she was unwilling to speak, no one could pry her open her mouth!

"All right…"

He had no choice but to sullenly stop asking questions.

After lunch, Schimerlin, as always, volunteered to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

Shu Xiangyu and Yang Yufen were peeling fruit at the dining table. She thought Xiangjun would suggest going to Cixi Ancient Town as before, but when she quietly finished cleaning up the kitchen, he didn't mention it.

So she took the initiative to suggest that the whole family go to Cixi Temple for a visit.

No one had any objections, and Yang Yufen was especially happy. She couldn't have imagined how much she wanted her three children to spend time with them!

Shu Xiangyu packed the cut fruit into airtight containers, intending to take them to town and eat them when she got hungry.

With departure imminent, Yang Yufen, beaming with joy, hummed a song and walked briskly back to her room to change her clothes.

Shu Yunrong was driving again, and the three siblings sat in the same positions as before.

Although Shu Xiangyu wanted to sit quietly next to her, she didn't want to push her too hard and cause her to feel resentful. It was better to keep a distance for now.

During the journey, Dr. Kang called, but Xi Molin was afraid that his injury would be exposed, so he did not answer immediately. Shu Xiangjun noticed this and another fight broke out in front of Shu Xiangyu.

When the phone fell into Shu Xiangyu's hands, she didn't immediately return it to Momo this time, but instead answered the call.

She spoke briefly with the other person in a gentle and polite manner. After hanging up the phone, Shu Xiangjun quickly moved closer to her.

"Sister, what did Dr. Kang say?"

Shu Xiangyu handed the phone to Momo and said calmly, "She didn't say anything..."

Xi Molin looked over Shu Xiangjun with a tense gaze. She saw that Shu Xiangjun was calm, but when she took the phone, her face was still pale and nervous. She quickly sent a message to Dr. Kang in secret.

"You really didn't say anything?"

Shu Xiangjun was clearly unwilling to accept it and did not believe it.

"If you're feeling really bored, I wouldn't mind if you got out of the car and ran alongside me..."

Shu Xiangyu retorted impatiently.

Shu Xiangjun smiled awkwardly and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't want to anger this queen!

After sending the message, Xi Molin was clearly relieved. Fortunately, Rong's parents didn't get involved or ask her why.

Returning to her old haunts, Shu Xiangyu basked in the warm, spring-like sunshine. Everywhere she looked, there were her most important family members and loved ones, and she was deeply moved.

She was given a second chance to live as the young 'Shu Xiangyu', wondering if she could make up for the regrets of her previous life. She knew that everyone would eventually die, and she didn't have many other desires. She only hoped that she could spend the next few decades with the people she loved most.

As Wang Xiaobo wrote in his book: I came into this world not to reproduce, but to see how flowers bloom, how water flows, how the sun rises, when the sun sets, to experience interesting things, and to meet unforgettable people.

She had already lived a profound and painful life and did not want to endure that boundless loneliness alone again.

Fortunately, it's not too late, everything is still possible...
