The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.
Chapter 23 Significance
Shu Xiangyu, waiting outside, kept her head down, staring at the fortune slip in her hand. Shu Xiangjun, who was talking to a colleague on his phone, couldn't help but ask, "Sis, what did the fortune slip you drew say? It's making you so distraught..."
Shu Xiangyu folded the fortune slip in her hand, her mind replaying the Taoist priest's words. She could have simply left and pretended nothing had happened. She had only been trying her luck, so how could she possibly think so extremely and desperately about the future just because of a fortune slip? After all, she still had the memories of her previous life.
But her inner fear prevented her from leaving easily. She had to admit that she would be willing to give anything to change the hope of her future doom, even if there was only a sliver of hope.
Even after Shu Xiangjun finished his business, he didn't hear Shu Xiangyu reply to him with a single word. He put his phone in his pocket, glanced at her unusually solemn expression, and guessed that the fortune she had drawn was probably not good.
"Sis, drawing lots is just a game, don't take it too seriously."
Without hesitation, Shu Xiangyu asked him, "What if it really comes true?"
Shu Xiangjun paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "I think life is an unpredictable adventure. Whether you experience something good or bad, it's inevitable. You might find it hard to accept at the time, but can you solve the problem by not accepting it? For me, it's best to accept and deal with things calmly. As for other things, since they haven't happened yet, there's no need to worry. Living well in the present is the most important thing!"
Everyone understands what is reasonable and well-founded, but understanding does not mean being able to bear it. Shu Xiangyu could not prevent the earthquake from coming, but she could keep Momo away from the rescue that would take her life.
Perhaps this is the variable!
"My lord, do you believe in rebirth?"
Shu Xiangyu suddenly changed the subject and asked him a question.
Shu Xiangjun leaned closer to her, his smile deepening: "What? Is rebirth the theme of your next drama?"
To his surprise, Shu Xiangyu turned his head and looked directly into his amused eyes with a calm expression: "If we lose someone very, very important in the future, will you accept it calmly?"
She still remembered that in her previous life, after his silent sacrifice, Xiangjun seemed to have quickly moved on from his grief, but only his family knew that his inner sorrow was no less than anyone else's, and he had never truly let go of it over the years.
Unable to meet her sudden, deep gaze, Shu Xiangjun quickly sat up straight and looked at the exquisitely carved wooden door in front of her: "Sister, isn't that a false proposition? How could we possibly know the future in advance? Do you really believe in those randomly drawn lots?"
"I believe! I believe as long as it involves life and death."
The answer, given without any hesitation or doubt, surprised Shu Xiangjun slightly. Her older sister, who had always only believed in herself and science, had become so superstitious...
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Xi Molin finally emerged, her figure seemingly lost in thought. However, compared to when Shu Xiangyu came out, she appeared much calmer. The two siblings both thought that the lot she drew shouldn't be too bad.
Xi Molin approached Shu Xiangyu and handed her the folded note: "Sister, this is what the Taoist priest asked me to give you. He said that once you read it, you will understand the answer to what you are asking for."
Shu Xiangyu quickly took the note from her hand but did not open it immediately: "Where is the Taoist priest?"
"He has left."
Shu Xiangjun immediately stood up: "I haven't given him the money yet!"
He said this as he walked into the hall, preparing to pay the money.
Only then did Shu Xiangyu open the note, which contained only a few words: "Let nature take its course; fate will bring us together, and destiny will prevail."
"Did the Taoist priest say anything else?"
She didn't get the answer she wanted and was somewhat unwilling to give up.
"No."
Schimerling answered truthfully.
Shu Xiangyu folded the note again, then reached out and held her hand, which was hanging by her side. Although it was a sunny spring day, both of their hands were unusually cold.
She gently pulled her closer until they were inches apart, then naturally wrapped her arms around her waist, leaning her head against her body, as if only in this way could she dispel the unease and fear in her heart.
Shermerling's hard-won composure began to flutter again. Rationally, she shouldn't let her lean on her, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse outright, as that would seem too deliberate.
"MoMo, did you do well on the fortune slip you drew?"
Her weak and feeble voice evoked a strange sense of heartache. Xi Molin looked down at the top of her hat, his eyes softening: "The Taoist priest said that I will have a successful career, a harmonious family, and live to be a hundred years old!"
The more she spoke, the tighter Shu Xiangyu held her. When she heard the last part about "living a long and healthy life," she suddenly stood up. Forgetting that they were in a solemn and quiet Taoist temple, she cupped her pale face in her hands, her eyes filled with surprise and eagerness: "Really? The Taoist priest really said that?"
Ximerlin was somewhat taken aback by her action, but perhaps genuinely happy for her, he didn't think much of it and nodded: "Yes, really!"
"That's great! That's great..."
Shu Xiangyu couldn't help but shout out loud, hugging her neck tightly, overwhelmed with excitement. Even though the lot she drew wasn't good, she could at least see a lot of hope in Momo. She always believed that the future could be changed.
Schimerlin couldn't help but hug her back, but deep in his unseen eyes lay a calm acceptance of death.
At least for a limited time, she still has the opportunity to reach her.
After paying, Shu Xiangjun came out and saw the two embracing tightly. Unusually, she didn't make any jokes, but just shook her head and smiled indulgently.
The three of them soon left the Taoist temple.
Even after returning to her parents' side, Shu Xiangyu never let go of Momo's hand. She held it tightly, as if only in this way could she feel more at ease.
When Shu Xiangyu returned home that night, she wasn't in a bad mood like before, and she didn't go to Momo to vent her frustrations after getting drunk. What she needed to do now was to slowly melt that cold heart, instead of rushing things.
But before going to sleep, she still hesitated and went to Momo's door to knock.
She had just finished washing up; her hair was still wet. She was wearing a light olive-green military short-sleeved physical training uniform. In a daze, it was as if she had returned to her college days, looking just like that, with clear, bright eyes, and appearing exceptionally youthful.
"Sis, is something the matter?"
Shu Xiangyu didn't ask to sleep with her, nor did he intend to go inside. Instead, he said somewhat awkwardly in a low voice, "Xiangjun said you bought gifts for your family... I was thinking..."
She lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed to finish her sentence.
"Oh, right, wait a moment..."
Fortunately, Shimmerlin understood what she meant and quickly turned around and went back into the house.
Shu Xiangyu stood at the door, her face flushed with embarrassment. This was the first time she had ever asked Momo for something.
Schimerlin quickly took out the gift box and handed it to her with a slight smile: "A little gift, I hope you like it."
Shu Xiangyu took the hand, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, he looked up at her, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy and happiness: "Thank you. Whatever it is, I like it. Go to sleep early. Good night."
"Good night."
Schimerlin was secretly delighted by her unthinking liking.
When she was choosing a gift in Jiangyan, she had imagined the scene of giving it as a gift many times, but she rejected them all because she felt embarrassed. Fortunately, the actual situation was not as difficult as she had imagined!
Shu Xiangyu turned to leave, but then said, "Oh, right, I'm leaving for a few days to go to Beijing tomorrow. I have an event to attend, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
"okay."
After watching her leave, the smile in Shimmering's eyes gradually faded.
By the time she returned, he had already set off for Tibet, and there were few opportunities for them to meet again.
Shu Xiangyu returned to her room, opened the small gift box, and inside was a simple yet beautiful brooch.
In her previous life, she was unable to accept it herself and only found it in the room later. By then, time had passed between them. Now that she has been given a second chance, the things that were missed cannot happen again, and she cannot leave any regrets.
After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Shu Xiangyu, as always, set off for Beijing with Xu Lei.
Xi Molin was not affected much and continued to prepare for his road trip to Tibet in an orderly manner, while also visiting Grandpa Liu and Grandma Xu.
Unexpectedly, the day before their departure, Shu Xiangyu returned home with two large boxes of things, saying that he wanted to go to Tibet with her!
"No, I didn't expect anything from you."
Schimerlin's expression darkened, and he refused outright.
Driving to Tibet would not only take a lot of time, but also carry risks, and she couldn't let her take that risk.
Shu Xiangyu had already guessed that she wouldn't agree, so he didn't plead any further. He simply said, "Fine, then I'll find someone else to go with me. I don't believe no one will want to come with me!"
After saying that, she turned to go upstairs.
"Shu Xiangyu! Are you serious?"
Xi Molin's tone turned cold, and she even called her by her first name. This was only because there was no one else in front of her, otherwise Shu Xiangyu would have slapped her on the head long ago.
"If you refuse me again, I'll really find someone else. All the things I bought are there. Pick something useful to take with you. I'm really sleepy, I'm going to catch up on some sleep."
During her few days in Beijing, she had to participate in promotional activities everywhere, place various orders online, and negotiate with Zhao Hong for a long time, but he still disagreed with her going to Tibet. In the end, she made her own decision to come back, and she couldn't sleep well every day.
Don't you have any acting jobs?
"No need, I've made all the arrangements. There's plenty of time this time."
Shermerlin had always thought that the overly intimate thing that day was just a whim of hers, but he never expected that she would actually decide to go to Tibet with him today!
What exactly is she trying to do? Why is she acting stranger and stranger each time?
After dinner, the two sat on opposite ends of the sofa in the living room to watch the spy drama starring Shu Xiangyu and Li Yichen with their parents.
In the drama, she is outwardly a Kuomintang officer and a highly talented intelligence agent, while secretly possessing two other identities. Because of her stunning beauty, she is coveted by many ill-intentioned people. However, she remains loyal to her beliefs and the people she loves. In a complex era fraught with assassinations and gunfire, she repeatedly uses her intelligence and wit to successfully resolve various dangers. The intricate plot keeps viewers hooked.
"Wood, we're leaving tomorrow, let's go upstairs and get some rest."
Shu Xiangyu knew the plot all too well and had no desire to continue watching.
"You should rest first, I'm not sleepy yet."
Schimerin was looking down at his phone, scrolling through short videos.
Shu Xiangyu raised an eyebrow slightly. This blockhead was really getting more and more arrogant! She held back as much as she could.
"Mom and Dad, I'll go upstairs first. You should get some rest too."
"okay."
Yang Yufen had time to reply, but Shu Yunrong's mind was entirely on the television.
Before going upstairs, Shu Xiangyu glanced at that silly blockhead one last time. She couldn't get angry, she couldn't lose her temper; she had to be gentle, she had to restrain herself…
As soon as she left, Xi Molin immediately put down his phone and stared intently at the beautiful woman in a Republic-era military uniform on TV…
It's 9:30 PM. After airing two episodes, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch it again.
Xi Molin said goodnight to Rong's parents and then prepared to go back to his room to rest.
To her surprise, as soon as she turned on the light, she saw a person lying on the side of the bed. Who else could it be but Shu Xiangyu!
