The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

Upon arriving outside the room, Xi Molin saw that the door was ajar and the lights were on inside. She stood there, not daring to go in immediately. The bathroom door was also closed, indicating that someone was inside.

Just then, Shu Xiangjun poked her head out of the room on the left side of the stairs and called out to her, "Kid, come here, I want to say a few words to you!"

Schimerin turned and glanced at him, then looked at the bathroom door.

"Come here! What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that she didn't move, Shu Xiangjun urged her on.

Schimerlin clutched the hem of his clothes, felt his way along the wall, and slowly walked over.

Arriving at the door of Shu Xiangjun's bedroom, one can see that his room is filled with all kinds of cartoon models, and the walls are covered with them. There are hardly any books on the computer desk; it is almost entirely filled with toys.

Shu Xiangjun was struggling to step onto the edge of the bed to take down a large cardboard box from the top of the wardrobe. He then smiled and placed it in front of her. When he opened the box, it was full of dolls!

"These are all for you!"

Schimerlin looked down at the various animal dolls inside; he had given them all to her!

Seeing that she didn't cheer happily, Shu Xiangjun assumed that girls would like these fluffy dolls, so he couldn't help but ask her, "What's wrong? Don't you like them?"

Schimerlin shook his drooping little head.

"Then why aren't you happy at all?"

Shu Xiangjun scratched his head, somewhat disappointed.

After a long while, Shimmering slowly raised his head, and tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

She came to this family and in a short time, she felt their warm care and love, which melted her frozen heart little by little. Since the earthquake, she had longed for this kind of family affection.

Shu Xiangjun never expected that he would make her cry!

He scratched his temple sheepishly, clearly at a loss for words: "Why...why are you crying? I won all these plush toys from the claw machine. I thought you'd like them, so I wanted to give them to you..."

Shu Xiangyu, who had just finished washing up in the bathroom, heard the commotion and came up behind Xi Molin, placing her hand on Xi Molin's thin shoulder. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing the dolls in the cardboard box, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "Wow, so many dolls! Shu Xiangjun, you've kept them well hidden."

Shu Xiangjun lowered his head and gave an awkward smile.

A refreshing fragrance emanating from Shu Xiangyu suddenly filled Xi Molin's nostrils and heart. She quickly wiped away her tears and buried her head even lower.

Shu Xiangyu squatted down, trying to find one she liked: "Mo Mo, which one do you like?"

Schimerlin tugged at his clothes, offering no reply.

Shu Xiangjun frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled: "Kid, are you mute? Why don't you answer anything when I ask you anything?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiangyu immediately put down the doll, stood up, slapped him on the head, and scolded, "What did you say! Can't you speak properly? Momo, let's ignore him, let's go back to sleep."

Xi Molin stood still, then raised her head again and bowed solemnly to Shu Xiangjun, saying in broken Mandarin, "Thank you, brother. I really like these dolls... I'll talk more in the future."

Shu Xiangjun's appearance just now reminded her of her brother.

Her brother used to always buy her snacks and toys from town, and he loved to take her running around in the mountains and fields, picking all sorts of wild fruits for her. He loved to carry her wherever he went. But he and dozens of his classmates were buried under the slabs of the building in the earthquake and never came back.

Seeing her sincerity, Shu Xiangjun suddenly realized that she had carelessly said the wrong thing. After all, the child had experienced such a cruel and merciless earthquake and lost all her relatives. It was only natural that she was timid and didn't like to talk.

He reached out and patted her head, bent down to look her in the eye, and said with a slight smile, "I misspoke, I'm sorry. From now on, I'll call you Momo... I'm glad you like these dolls. I'll get you more and cuter ones in the future!"

Schimerlin nodded, a long-lost smile appearing on his face: "Yes, thank you."

"That's more like how an older brother should act! You can accept these dolls then. Let's go, we're going back to sleep."

Shu Xiangyu smiled and picked up the cardboard box for her, then turned and went back to her room.

Schimerling nodded his thanks again.

Shu Xiangjun quickly replied, "No need to be so polite."

Before they could finish speaking, the person had already left.

"I'll leave the doll here for now. You can take it over once your room is tidied up."

Shu Xiangyu placed the cardboard box next to the bookshelf, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and came back to find her still standing by the door. Her smile deepened: "What? Aren't you sleepy? Aren't you going to sleep?"

Schimerlin glanced at her, who was wearing a white nightgown, seemingly casually, his nervousness almost overflowing.

"I'm not really... used to sleeping with other people."

She finally tried to express her thoughts.

Shu Xiangyu nodded in understanding, then sat down on the edge of the bed and took out a lotion from the drawer: "Actually, I'm not used to it either, but my bed is big enough, and we can each have a blanket, so it should be better."

Upon hearing this, Schimerlin's flushed face clearly showed relief.

Shu Xiangyu quickly finished applying the lotion to her arms and long legs, then got up to leave: "I'll go downstairs to get the blankets. You go to bed first; those blankets should be softer."

This time, Xi Molin didn't hesitate or struggle anymore. She listened to her and took off her shoes. She picked up the teddy bear and placed it in the corner of the bed. She lifted the thin quilt and lay down. She immediately felt soft and comfortable. The faint, elegant fragrance on the quilt was the same as the one on her sister. It smelled especially good and inexplicably calmed her uneasy and nervous heart.

When Shu Xiangyu returned with the air-conditioning blanket, he saw that she had her eyes closed and seemed to be asleep, so he moved very quietly so as not to wake her.

She made the bed, closed the door, and drank some water to moisten her throat, but she couldn't drink too much, otherwise her face would easily swell the next day.

After lying down on the outside of the bed, she reached out and turned off the light, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Although Schimerlin had his eyes closed, he was not asleep at all and was constantly sensing the movements in the room.

She didn't dare to turn over at this moment, and could only lie there quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the faint breathing sounds around me gradually became regular, indicating that Shu Xiangyu had fallen asleep.

Schimerlin then tried to turn to the side to ease the discomfort in his body.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt something pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She opened her eyes, and in the dim light outside, she saw that her sister had put her legs over her and her upper body was pressed against her through the blanket. She didn't know whether to move or not.

The pleasant and refreshing fragrance made her gradually lose her sleepiness. She tried to move Shu Xiangyu's long legs away, but it was no use at all. She seemed to be used to sleeping with something in her arms. As soon as she finally moved her legs away, her arms followed.

Left with no other choice, she could only endure it and continue sleeping.

Despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she eventually succumbed to a deep drowsiness...

The next day, around 7 a.m., Yang Yufen knocked on the door and woke the two of them up.

"Mom, why did you wake us up so early!"

Shu Xiangyu was very dissatisfied. She had finally finished the college entrance examination and just wanted to get a good night's sleep, but she was woken up early almost every day.

"You're just lazy, and you still want to be an actor! If you don't get up and go for a run and work on your legs, you'll gain weight and then you won't be able to act!"

Yang Yufen spoke to her daughter without any politeness or gentleness, and then turned off the air conditioner.

"Mom, you're so annoying!"

"I'm annoyed, I'm not annoyed, how could you grow up like this!"

Xi Molin rubbed her eyes and yawned. She had been sleeping on and off all night and was quite sleepy now.

"Mo Mo, your clothes are in the closet over there. Wear whatever you like. Once you're dressed and have washed up, come down for breakfast... Xiao Yu, you should get up too."

After Yang Yufen finished speaking, she went to knock on Shu Xiangjun's door.

Shu Xiangyu turned over, closed his eyes, and continued sleeping, seemingly with no intention of getting up.

Schimerling was very obedient. He got up from the foot of the bed, took out his clothes and pants, and went to the bathroom with them.

After the family finally finished eating together, it was already past nine o'clock. Shu Yunrong then took Momo out. Shu Xiangyu planned to practice his lines and yoga at home, while Shu Xiangjun carried his schoolbag and went to tutoring. All the other children were on summer vacation and playing around every day, but he was still studying. It was because his grades were not good, and it would be difficult for him to get into university.

Taking advantage of Tuesday, a workday, Shu Yunrong brought all the necessary documents and quietly went to the community to register. Then she went to the local police station to apply for a temporary residence permit. Her original household registration remained in her hometown in Sichuan and was not directly transferred here. As for taking the college entrance examination in the future, because she had an orphan certificate and the national policy, she could take the exam in another province without any restrictions. Afterwards, she used her household registration book to open a bank account for herself. Her parents had left some savings, as well as government subsidies and donations from others, all of which she deposited into the account so that it would be more convenient for her if she needed money in the future.

When I got home after finishing my business, Yang Yufen had already prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal to celebrate Momo's arrival.

Everyone raised their glasses in celebration, and the house was instantly filled with laughter and joy.

From their conversation, Ximerlin learned that her sister had been accepted into the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Academy and that in the near future, she was likely to become a nationally renowned actress, appearing in television dramas and movies.

She was amazed that she had such ideals, while she herself was ordinary and insignificant.

Shu Xiangyu, who had clear goals in life, noticed her thoughts, so he gently patted her head and told her in an exceptionally tender way that as long as you work hard and are willing to put in the effort, you can achieve even the vast universe, let alone change your own destiny!

Although Ximerlin didn't understand much, she would definitely study harder. Even if she didn't know what she would do in the future, she thought that as long as she became a useful person, her parents would be happy for her.

Shu Xiangjun also believes that interest is the best choice in life.

Doing a job you don't like is more torturous than torture!

With his handsome looks, he could probably make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, but that's not his ambition; he has a very free and easy personality.

Thus, without changing his name, Ximerlin officially became a member of the Shu family!

She no longer called Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen "uncle" and "aunt," but instead addressed them as "Dad Rong" and "Mom Yang." After all, she was already young, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to change her address to call them "Dad" and "Mom." This way of addressing them was also more intimate.

As they spent more time together, she earned a new nickname from Shu Xiangjun's daily antics: "Wooden Head"!

He noticed that she was always dazed and didn't like to talk. Whether standing or sitting, she could remain motionless for a long time, just like a wooden doll.

Shu Xiangyu, who doted on her younger sister, gradually started calling out to her as well.

She didn't mind being called "Silent" or "Wooden Head," and she would respond to either.

When they have free time, the siblings also teach her to pronounce Mandarin correctly so that they can communicate more easily in the future.

Before she arrived, Yang Yufen had planned to tidy up the small room on the second floor. However, the room was separated from the bathroom by only one wall. The wall had been soaked in water for a long time, and much of the paint on the wall had already peeled off. The room was also dark, and the windows offered a direct view of other people's toilets. So she hesitated and delayed starting the work.

So, after everyone discussed it, Momo officially decided to share a room with Shu Xiangyu, thinking that since she would be going to university and wouldn't be home for long each year, the room would just be empty anyway.

Shu Xiangyu didn't have any objections; she actually quite liked having someone sleep quietly beside her.

Schimerling naturally wouldn't say anything; he'd just get used to it.

However, every night, her small body would bear the weight of long, seemingly light but incredibly strong legs. She tried to put them down, but soon their arms and legs would come up again. She couldn't escape them whether she was lying on her side or on her back.

She eventually gave up completely!

Although she was simple-minded, she wasn't stupid. She knew very well that she was now living in her sister's room, sleeping in her bed, wearing her pretty clothes, eating her food, drinking her drinks, and using her things. What was it to ask her to lend a hand?

However, sometimes the two of them would switch from two blankets to one, and in the morning the remaining blanket would mostly be on the floor. Later, they simply shared one blanket, and Momo went from accepting one leg to enduring the embrace of half a person.

Shu Xiangyu probably never realized how bad her sleeping posture was!

When she used to sleep alone, she would usually hug her big teddy bear. Now that the teddy bear has been thrown aside, she has naturally become the one being hugged while sleeping.

She often found herself pushed against the wall by Shimmering, and her blanket would inexplicably be snatched away in the middle of the night. Even when she pulled it back, only a small corner of the blanket was left, barely enough to cover her lower abdomen. Sometimes, she really couldn't help but want to kick her to relieve her frustration...

She thought about it, but in the end, she didn't dare to actually kick her.

Perhaps it's because sleeping with someone is more comfortable than sleeping alone, since Momo came, Shu Xiangyu's sleep quality has improved significantly. Moreover, it feels great to sleep while holding her; she's soft and cool to the touch.

Xi Molin still frequently has nightmares, talking in her sleep in a daze. Shu Xiangyu, who was beside her, would first wake up in fright, and later become conscious. Each time, she would hold Xi Molin in her arms, gently pat her back, and whisper words of comfort.

So, Momo felt that apart from the fact that her hug was a bit heavy and tight, everything else was fine. Her body was softer and smelled better, which made her feel very safe.
