The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

She stood there, staring at her for a while. After a long while, she sighed softly, closed the door, said nothing, grabbed her pajamas, and went to the bathroom.

Shu Xiangyu didn't even open her eyes, turned over, and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

After Xi Molin finished washing up, she glanced at her phone, replied to a few messages, then drew the curtains, went around to the other side of the bed, plugged in her phone, and carefully and quietly lay down under the covers.

A familiar and pleasant fragrance wafted into her nostrils. She turned her head and saw Shu Xiangyu's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face right in front of her. The last time they slept in the same bed was the night before they broke up. In the blink of an eye, more than four years have passed!

After she turned over and turned off the light, she didn't move again. She went to sleep right next to the bed, so far away from Shu Xiangyu that two more people could sleep in the room!

After an unknown amount of time, Shu Xiangyu moved from under the covers to behind Xi Molin, her hands and legs habitually resting on her. Xi Molin, who was not asleep, quickly pushed her away.

"Get a good night's sleep."

I just want to sleep next to you!

Shu Xiangyu wasn't asleep either; her sleepy voice carried a hint of coquetry.

Is this really interesting of you?

Shermelin couldn't understand why her attitude towards him had changed so drastically in just a few days since she returned.

The sudden change was indeed hard to accept. Shu Xiangyu knew that she had been a bit too hasty. She wanted to tell her just how much she loved her!

Shu Xiangyu moved her hands and feet away, curling up in dejection. In her past life, after losing her, she drank almost every day to numb herself, otherwise she couldn't fall asleep at all. For the rest of her life, no matter what happened or what great achievements she made, nothing could make her happy again. Those joys and happiness had long since disappeared with her. She couldn't let go, and she couldn't forget.

Later, she relied almost entirely on sleeping pills to get through the day.

These days, she often wakes up suddenly, afraid that when this dream ends, Momo will also disappear. This constant back and forth, this anxiety and fear, makes her uneasy.

"Mo Mo, I know I hurt you in the past. I don't expect your forgiveness now. I just want to stay by your side, okay?"

The soft, pleading voice was heart-melting, but Xi Molin's heart had long been hardened like cold iron. She now only had family affection left for the Shu family, and as for love, she no longer needed it!

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know."

Shu Xiangyu naturally understood the meaning behind her words.

"You've given up on the career you valued most, the reputation you cherished, and the fans who loved you? Besides, I don't want it anymore. I don't want to experience the pain of being abandoned again and again..."

Schimerling didn't know if it was just a passing fancy or if she really couldn't forget her past feelings, but she genuinely didn't want to continue entangled with her.

"wood…"

"I don't know what you're trying to do, but I'll say it again: we'll just be ordinary sisters. Now you have your world, and I have my life. We don't have much in common. I was too naive and ignorant before, and I'm sorry for causing you trouble..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shu Xiangyu suddenly sat up and hugged her tightly. She leaned on her shoulder, shaking her head and crying, "No, I don't want to be your sister. I was wrong, I regret it. I shouldn't have treated you like that. Now I just want to start over with you..."

The soft, fragrant, and boneless touch suddenly assaulted Ximerlin, who was used to being indifferent, and was not used to it for a moment, even feeling a little oppressed!

She tried to struggle a few times, and with her strength, she could have easily broken free, but Shu Xiangyu used quite a bit of force, as if she might disappear at any moment.

She really didn't know what she was planning, and she didn't want to say anything too hurtful that would make their relationship even worse.

Schimerlin stopped what he was doing and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Regret? Don't you think... it's too late to say these things now? To be honest, there was no right or wrong in what happened back then, it was just a difference in perspective. I couldn't be your choice, that's my own problem, I can't blame you."

A word of regret cannot undo the hurt caused.

Even that couldn't overcome the endless despair she felt after being abandoned.

That's a pain comparable to losing a loved one, and how can they possibly mend those lost years...?

Shu Xiangyu was well aware of the pain and torment she had endured when she was heartbroken, and it was not something that she could easily soothe with a few words now.

"I know it's a little late, but as long as there's love, it's never too late..."

"But I don't love you anymore..."

Schimerlin's words were resolute and unwavering.

She doesn't love her anymore!

The words, spoken casually yet with absolute certainty, pierced Shu Xiangyu's heart like tens of thousands of sharp arrows without warning. Unlike the unbearable grief of losing her, the bitterness and sorrow that filled her heart at this moment was overwhelming, accumulating in her chest and causing her unbearable pain.

She never considered that she no longer loved herself. She was too confident and too naive, thinking that she would stay in the same place and wait for her forever.

Driven by selfish desires and a desire for her future, she recklessly harmed her. It was all her fault, and she can't blame anyone else.

Shu Xiangyu gradually loosened his grip on her, tears streaming down his face. His voice, choked with sobs, rang out in the stagnant darkness: "Back then, I always worried about too many things, and I was even more afraid of losing the opportunity to become famous in the entertainment industry. Just like you said before, I considered everything, except for you. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it without any resentment either."

After she finished speaking, she got up from beside her, walked barefoot to the window in the night, and pulled back the curtains. She felt suffocated, as if she could hardly breathe.

Ximerlin lay motionless on the bed, and the two remained silent for a moment, both tormented by the pain and turmoil in their hearts.

What should I do if I no longer love someone?

Can I make her fall in love with me again?

But she didn't believe that she really didn't love herself anymore; perhaps she just couldn't get over that mental hurdle.

She didn't want to say or do anything to hurt her again, to provoke her hidden emotions. She wanted to slowly melt that frozen heart, not rush things.

After an unknown amount of time, Shu Xiangyu stood by the window, feeling a chill creeping over her. Once her turbulent emotions had subsided slightly, she quietly lay back down on the bed and hugged Momo again. She knew Momo wasn't asleep. She whispered in her ear, her voice low and hoarse, "Momo, I'm sorry… After we return from our trip to Tibet, I will leave. But for now, I'd like to spend some time with you peacefully, is that alright?"

"Why now?"

Shu Xiangyu was somewhat puzzled by her meaning: "What?"

"Over the past four years, you have your acting career and I have my military service. We have almost lost all contact, and our past feelings are gone. But why do you suddenly seem like a different person in the few days since I came back? I don't think you would suddenly realize that you still have feelings for me, abandon the interests you valued most in the past, or ignore those rumors. Although I may be dull and boring, I am not stupid."

Xi Molin's clear-headed and straightforward words put Shu Xiangyu in a difficult dilemma. If it were the past her, perhaps she would still make the same choice as before, prioritizing interests above all else. Even if she couldn't let go of her, she would still choose what she thought was right. But after a lifetime, all her regrets and deep feelings have converged here. How can she explain her feelings to her at this moment?

After a moment of silence, Shu Xiangyu did not directly answer her question, but simply said, "If I told you that what I said was true, without any reason, would you believe me?"

"I want to know the truth."

Schimerling confronts his deepest, most hidden, and conflicted past.

Shu Xiangyu, however, lost the will to take responsibility. She didn't want to deceive her anymore, and she didn't want to do anything rash for something that hadn't even happened yet.

"I can't answer the question you're looking for right now, but I understand my feelings. No matter what you think, I will stick to it and that will never change!"

Hearing her speak with such unwavering certainty, Schimerlin swallowed the bitterness welling up in his throat.

"Go to sleep, I don't want to talk about this right now..."

She turned her head away, temporarily giving in. Her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't hear anything. Perhaps she couldn't bring herself to be too cruel to her.

Shu Xiangyu felt extremely distressed; her submissive and accommodating attitude was completely unlike her usual proud personality.

"Then I want to hold you while I sleep!"

"Ah."

"You're not allowed to push me away!"

"Ah."

"Then move over a bit, I'm about to fall..."

She recovered her composure quickly and spoke with confidence again.

Schimerling then moved to the side.

Shu Xiangyu then loosened his grip a little, then naturally put his hands and feet on her body, rubbed against her neck, and smelled the faint sandalwood scent on her body. He found a comfortable position, which seemed like he was settling for second best, but he was also being unreasonable and willful. He was nowhere near as glamorous as a big star!

She was completely speechless. She sighed, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

"Goodnight, Momo."

She hadn't felt this at ease in a long time; the feeling of being held in someone's arms was so wonderful! Warm and real.

Since he couldn't truly let go, he had no choice but to shamelessly pursue her again. Shu Xiangyu believed that where there's a will, there's a way! One day they would reconcile.

However, after closing her eyes and sleeping for a long time, Xi Molin's originally calm thoughts kept popping up and running around in her mind. Not only did she not fall asleep, she became more and more awake.

The carefree person beside him had already fallen into a deep sleep.

But she gradually recalled the scene when she first went to the Shu family with Rong's father...

In 2008, the Chinese people will probably never forget two major events: the Wenchuan earthquake and the Beijing Olympics.

Because of the earthquake, countless precious lives were mercilessly swallowed up in an instant. No one can withstand such a natural disaster. The entire disaster area was devastated, with families broken and people killed. Faced with the loss of loved ones, all that remained was grief and numbness, except for loud crying. The survivors could no longer offer any words of comfort.

In August, despite the great disaster that had struck the country, the nation still managed to host the world-renowned opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with all its might. At that time, countless people sat in front of their televisions to watch this grand event.

A few words cannot fully express the hardships and difficulties of that time, and many people's lives were changed because of it.

At the end of June 2009, thirteen-year-old Xi Molin boarded a train from Chengdu to Qizhou with Shu Yunrong. She had her hair tied in a small ponytail, wore an orange round-neck short-sleeved shirt and faded blue jeans, and carried little luggage, only an old dark blue schoolbag in her arms. Her small face did not show the sadness and dejection that one might expect from a separation, but it was rather pale and thin, as if she were malnourished. Her eyes were also calm and unwavering, and she hardly spoke a word along the way.

Shu Yunrong wore a pine-green armed police uniform, with red shoulder straps revealing his major rank. He spent most of his time on the training field, his skin was not only tanned dark, but he also looked strong and muscular. His usually resolute and serious face showed a rare peaceful and gentle side at this moment. He didn't say anything nice, and the two only exchanged a few simple words occasionally. The train ride would take about ten hours, and he had bought a lot of snacks that his children liked at the convenience store in advance, thinking that children his age should like them.

But Xi Molin was clearly not paying attention. In the relatively quiet sleeper car, she either sat quietly or lay quietly on her side under the white blanket. It was almost seven o'clock before she managed to eat a small half-bucket of instant noodles.

The train traveled from day to night, stopping at countless temporary stations. Fortunately, there weren't many passengers changing trains in their carriage, so it wasn't too noisy.

Around 9 p.m., the train finally arrived at the North Station of Qizhou City.
