The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.
Chapter 21 Concern
When Shu Xiangyu returned to the arched bridge where they had taken a photo together, she recalled that after losing her, she relied almost entirely on the photos that Xiangjun had taken on a whim to accompany her through those difficult decades.
She wanted to take a photo with Momo, but she was afraid that she would politely decline because of what happened that morning or because she felt it was inappropriate. After thinking for a moment, she called her whole family to stand at the bridgehead and asked a girl who happened to be passing by to take a photo. Two other girls were also traveling with the girl.
Shu Xiangyu then took off her baseball cap and mask, seemingly unconcerned about being recognized.
She embraced her parents in the middle, with Momo standing on either side of her, while Shu Xiangjun stood beside her.
The girl took the phone that was handed to her, stood not far away, counted three, two, one, and took several pictures of the happy family moments.
"That beautiful woman looks like Shu Xiangyu!"
One of the girl's friends whispered something in her ear.
"It looks like her! Wow... I never expected that a simple stroll here would lead to running into a big star!"
Another taller girl couldn't hide her excitement and secretly took a few photos with her phone's camera.
"Can we go and take a picture with her?"
The girl she was talking to was also unable to contain her excitement.
"Let's talk about it after Xiaoxiao finishes taking the photos."
The tall girl quickly posted the photos she had taken to the class group chat, wanting to show them off to everyone.
"The photo is taken..."
The girl taking photos walked briskly toward them, carrying a small black backpack.
Shu Xiangyu took the phone and looked at the photos. They were all pretty good, and everyone looked happy.
"Um, you...you're Shu Xiangyu, right? Hello, could I...take a picture with you?"
The girl actually recognized her when they were taking the photo.
After finally managing to control her urge to scream and take photos of them, she really didn't want to miss this opportunity to meet her favorite celebrities!
After the girl finished speaking shyly, her face turned bright red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at her at all.
Off-camera, Shu Xiangyu wore light makeup and looked much thinner and more beautiful than on TV. Her temperament was also exceptional, making her stand out from the crowd!
The girl's two other friends also came over, and they were overjoyed. They said that they especially liked the TV dramas she acted in, and they never expected to meet her here!
Fortunately, while they were delighted, they didn't announce it loudly, but politely asked if they could take a photo together.
Shu Xiangyu was always approachable, and to thank the girls for their help, he gladly accepted their request.
The three girls then took photos with her.
Schimerling stood by the stone fence, watching them take a group photo with a calm expression.
She used to easily overlook one thing: Shu Xiangyu was a kind and approachable older sister to her, a family member who had accompanied her day and night, and her guide in life.
However, she is also an internationally renowned superstar, whose film and television works are household names, who has never stopped endorsing high-end brands, and who also quietly focuses on charity work. Her ideals and values have long surpassed those of many people.
The economic differences are incomparable!
Whether in the past or present, she could not catch up with her pace. The undeniable gap had become the most solid wall between them. How could her ordinary and mundane life compare to hers!
After taking the group photo, the three fans left satisfied.
Only the five members of their family remained at the bridgehead.
Shu Xiangyu turned around and suddenly called out, "Mo Mo, let's take a picture together! We haven't taken one together in so long..."
Just as Schimerlin was about to walk onto the bridge, he heard these words and his proud figure suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Shu Xiangyu didn't give her much time to react, and casually tossed the phone to Shu Xiangjun, not forgetting to tell him, "Take good pictures of us, this place is quite beautiful, take as many as you can!"
As she spoke, she walked to Ximerlin's side, naturally linking her arm with hers, and a dazzling smile appeared on her face, as if she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"My photography skills are comparable to those of a professional photographer, so don't worry, sis!"
Shu Xiangjun looked proud, moved her phone to the side, and then squatted down to find the best angle to take the picture.
Schimerling was completely unprepared to take a photo with her alone. He could only stand there stiffly, his other hand clenched into a fist. His expression seemed calm and composed, but in reality, his heart was pounding like a deer.
"Hey, smile! Look how happy I am... Be natural, don't stiffen up..."
Calling her "wooden block" really does make her seem like a block of wood; Shu Xiangjun felt a bit disappointed in her.
Shu's parents stood not far away, watching them with kind and gratified eyes. After so many years, the two sisters still had such a good relationship!
Xi Molin glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and saw that she was beaming. Perhaps it was because of her feelings, and not wanting to spoil her mood, she tried to relax and forced a smile. When she occasionally looked down at the person beside her, she probably didn't realize the deep affection in her eyes.
The gentle breeze that echoed through the ancient street buildings occasionally caressed Shu Xiangyu's smooth, long hair. She sensed the subtle changes in Mo Mo, and the unease in her heart dissipated. Her gentle smile deepened unconsciously, and she tightened her arms around her. The way she leaned on her shoulder was somewhat like a little bird clinging to her. Facing the camera, her casualness and ease were already masterful.
"Sis, the photos are done. Come and see how they turn out!"
Shu Xiangjun looked down at the photos she had taken and secretly marveled at how much her photography skills had improved!
Shu Xiangyu did not go over immediately, but instead quietly grasped Mo Mo's warm hand and gently squeezed it.
The delicate touch seemed to carry a few wisps of electricity, enveloping Xi Molin's mind. She couldn't help but lower her eyes to look at the hand she was holding.
"MoMo is such a good girl..."
Her soft, ambiguous voice was close to her ear, seemingly carrying her warm breath. In a moment of quiet, the weight of her hand shifted to her little finger, just like when they used to dress conservatively and secretly date outside. Whether walking in a bustling city or a deserted place, they always liked to hold each other's hands like this.
A familiar, long-lost feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, and Xi Molin was momentarily stunned and lost her thoughts. It wasn't until Shu Xiangjun's urging voice rang out again that Shu Xiangyu finally reluctantly let go of her fingers.
Taking the phone, Shu Xiangyu casually put on a baseball cap and looked at the photos again. The last few were pretty good, and he felt much happier and sweeter than in his previous life!
"Sis, how is it? Not bad, right?"
"Yes, the filming is quite good."
But in the first few pictures, Mo Mo's expression clearly felt somewhat unfamiliar and stiff...
By this time, Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen had already crossed the ancient bridge and were no longer waiting for them to dawdle.
"Let's go, Mom and Dad are nowhere to be seen... Momo, what are you daydreaming about! Let's go!"
Shu Xiangjun walked past Xi Molin and habitually patted her shoulder, the patting force was not light, it even made a sound.
A sharp pain shot through him, and Schimerlin instinctively clutched his arm.
"What, did I hit you too hard? You're so tough, it can't be that bad."
He said it jokingly, but then he saw her brows furrow slightly, her expression somber. He turned his head and saw his older sister staring intently at him, her eyes filled with resentment.
Is it possible that he can't even touch Momo's shoulder now?
My sister looks like she's about to give him a good beating.
"It shouldn't be a big problem; Momo's always been the most sturdy..."
He gave an awkward smile and, before his older sister could erupt in anger, quickly left the area.
As the pain subsided, Xi Molin finally snapped out of her daze. With her head down, she took a step forward, but because she was distracted and didn't notice what was in front of her, she accidentally bumped into someone. Realizing what had happened, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
As they looked up, the person who had been hit was also standing still. The two of them stared at each other without prior arrangement... The awkwardness in their eyes lessened, and their lingering affection was revealed.
At this moment, Shu Xiangyu felt as if he had been transported to another world, and it seemed that it was indeed so.
She still vividly remembers when Momo first arrived at the Shu family, she was thin and frail. Now, Momo is more than half a head taller than her. Having served as an armed police officer for many years, her natural temperament is even more outstanding!
But the scenes that reappeared at that time felt somewhat unreal to her.
"Sis, let's go..."
Xi Molin's low, husky voice suddenly broke Shu Xiangyu's slightly startled expression, and her calm eyes appeared even more profound under the brim of her hat.
Just as they were about to leave, Shu Xiangyu, disregarding her family in front of her and without saying goodbye, suddenly took Momo's left hand and quickly walked into the alley on the side.
Schimerlin reacted somewhat slowly, and in a daze, followed her to a deserted place.
"Let me see the injury on your arm!"
Shu Xiangyu took off his baseball cap, his expression serious, and reached out to take off her coat.
How did you know I... was injured?
Schimerling never expected that she had brought him here for this reason!
Shu Xiangyu was taken aback. She certainly couldn't say that she already knew, so she could only make up a random excuse.
“Dr. Kang… mentioned it on the phone, but I thought you probably didn’t say it because you were afraid your parents would worry.”
Ximerlin quickly grabbed her wrist, his expression anxious: "Sister, my injury has healed a lot..."
Shu Xiangyu stubbornly shook off her hand, his eyes firm and resolute: "You're always lying to me, I want to see for myself!"
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Shimmerlin could only let her take off her black denim jacket, revealing a half-collar knit sweater underneath, with the cuffs rolled up to her upper arms, just enough to expose the edge of the gauze. Because the cuffs were too tight, she didn't roll them up any further.
How long have you been injured? How many stitches did you need?
Shu Xiangyu grasped her arm, his thumb gently stroking the skin still red with adhesive residue.
Xi Molin looked down at her, who was standing in front of him, her eyes filled with heartache and worry for him, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Back then, when she fought with Lu Xiyi, and whenever she was injured, Lu Xiyi would always take such good care of her. Although she was in pain, she felt warm inside.
"It's been almost a week, and I've had twelve stitches..."
As soon as he heard the words, Xi Molin looked up and was unexpectedly struck by Shu Xiangyu's intense and indelible affection.
Her heart felt weightless for a moment, pounding wildly in a panic, completely bewildered.
"Twelve stitches! How did this happen? It actually required twelve stitches..."
Her cool fingertips traced her forearm down to the back of her hand, and quietly intertwined with her fingers.
The wound must have been stitched up so many times, and I wonder how deep it is and how much pain it must have caused!
In her previous life, however, she asked nothing and knew nothing.
The long-standing guilt and self-blame made her feel particularly heartbroken and distressed at this moment. How much about her had she missed, and how had she completely ignored the fragile and sensitive heart hidden in her hard shell?
Although her thoughts were in disarray, Shimmerlin kept glancing warily at both sides of the alleyway, afraid that other tourists or local residents might suddenly appear. If someone recognized her, who knows what kind of bad rumors might spread.
She quickly pulled down her sleeves, put on her clothes, and held her shoulders, gently comforting her in a soft voice: "Sister, I'm fine now, you don't need to worry too much. Besides, as an armed police officer, how can you not get injured? I'm used to it... Let's go out, Rong's parents are definitely waiting for us."
Shu Xiangyu held her tightly around the waist, his forehead pressed against her chest, remaining motionless.
"Wood, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Her deep, soft voice, tinged with sobs, was heart-wrenching, bringing a bittersweet feeling to the throat.
Schimerlin sighed helplessly and cooperated by remaining still.
Shu Xiangyu's tears soaked her clothes, and at this moment, the hearts that had been frozen for so long seemed to melt.
"Your arm was clearly injured, why did you insist on carrying me upstairs this morning? What if the wound reopened...?"
Schimerling didn't think much about it at the time, and besides, she wasn't heavy.
She replied softly, "It's alright."
Shu Xiangyu, however, refused to listen: "You're not allowed to act tough anymore, understand?"
"Ah."
She responded in a low voice.
"Take good care of yourself in the future and don't get hurt."
"Ah."
"Every time you agree so readily, you turn around and physically defy it!"
Shu Xiangyu has said this countless times, but he still can't help but remind her every time.
Shermerling remained silent. Her family knew the nature of her work, and injuries were inevitable. They could only hope that she wouldn't be seriously injured.
After Shu Xiangyu calmed down and raised her head, her moist, clear eyes gazed at Mo Mo, who was filled with indescribable, lingering emotions.
Schimerlin and she looked at each other, and his heart began to flutter uncontrollably once again.
But her mature and stubborn mindset prevented her from thinking too deeply. She hurriedly looked away and carefully put a baseball cap and mask on her: "Let's go, let's go find Rong's father and the others."
She took her hand, still warm to the touch, and slowly walked out of the alleyway in the warm sunshine.
Shu Xiangyu loved the feeling of being cared for by her. How wonderful it would be if she could continue walking hand-in-hand with her like this forever…
