The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

That evening, Shu Xiangyu took over from her mother and stayed at the hospital to take care of Momo. For the time being, they were the only ones staying in the two-person ward.

Before going to bed, she fetched hot water from the boiler room, drew the dark blue curtain, and first had Momo rinse her mouth with a cup. Then she wrung out a towel to wipe Momo's face and body. The hospital had the air conditioning on all day, so the temperature wasn't high, but Momo still sweated a lot.

"If I had been there when you came to the dance studio yesterday, would you have told me about Lu Xiyi looking for you?"

As Shu Xiangyu asked her questions, she bent down and gently wiped her face, being especially careful to avoid any wounds. To make things easier, she casually tied her long hair into a bun.

Xi Molin lay quietly, his serene gaze falling on her fair and delicate profile and her long, sexy neck, where he could almost see the pulse of her veins. Her focused and meticulous expression was so beautiful that Xi Molin was somewhat mesmerized.

Even if I were there, you wouldn't tell, would you...?

Shu Xiangyu understood her dull and timid nature.

When the hand touched her chest, Xi Molin suddenly came to her senses. Being taken care of like this by her suddenly made the usually shy and reserved girl feel a little embarrassed.

Her heart was pounding with nervousness, and her face was burning. She quickly looked away, too afraid to refuse, and forgot to answer her question.

Have you ever been in a fight before?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shu Xiangyu changed the subject and asked her something else.

"I've fought with other kids in the village a few times before."

The childish, husky voice sounded just like the night I arrived at the Shu family's house...

Shu Xiangyu stopped what he was doing, looked up and met her gaze. His beautiful and tender eyes were fixed on her star-like eyes. She seemed the same as always, yet something seemed to have changed.

"So, did you win or lose? Were you injured...?"

She sat sideways on the edge of the hospital bed, threw the towel into the basin, leaned over, and placed her palms on either side of Mo Mo. She seemed to see through Mo Mo's little scheme of not wanting to answer properly.

Shimmering was so close and stared at so directly that she immediately turned her head away shyly. Her pale face turned red and even hot, and her heart beat faster.

Unexpectedly, Shu Xiangyu reached out and gently pinched her chin, insisting that she look at him. Her eyes darkened slightly, and her brows furrowed: "Is it hard to answer my question? Why are you afraid to look at me?"

Xi Molin swallowed hard, meeting her angry eyes again. The innocent girl didn't know how to answer.

"I don't."

He spoke without confidence, and soon lowered his eyes to look at the faint blue veins on the inside of her elbow.

Shu Xiangyu let go of her and propped herself up slightly. She couldn't do anything to her today!

"You're afraid of me..."

"No."

"You still say you didn't, and you don't even dare to look at me. Where is your courage in front of Lu Xiyi?"

Shu Xiangyu sometimes liked her naivety, and sometimes felt a bit disappointed in her.

Schimerlin couldn't escape her questioning, and he couldn't get out of bed, suffering both physically and mentally.

"I... don't know how to say it."

Shu Xiangyu softened his tone: "It's okay, just treat it as a chat and tell me how you felt at the time."

Schimerling was so overwhelmed by her that he eventually gave in.

"That afternoon, after Lu Xiyi came to find me, I went home in the rain... I didn't want you to worry, and I didn't want him to look down on me, so I didn't tell you... But I overestimated my abilities..."

As she spoke, she glanced up at her reaction, then looked away and continued, "Most of the fights with the village kids are just for fun, they don't fight to the death. I don't like to cause trouble, and I don't fight often... But Lu Xiyi is different. He's very strong and has a grudge against me. If he goes all out and tries to kill me, I might get hurt even more badly."

Seeing that she was finally willing to open up and speak her mind, Shu Xiangyu gently stroked her injured little face, his eyes filled with deep tenderness: "Silly girl, sometimes you can't think of people so simply. We don't blame you for what happened this time, we were just worried about you risking your life alone. As an armed police officer, your father often tells Xiangjun and me, 'We won't offend others unless they offend us, but if they do, we don't have to endure it. We should act when necessary.' You did a great job this time, you didn't back down, but bravely attacked. We are all proud of you, but it hurts to think that you are so young and have to go through all this..."

Perhaps in her original world, the people around her were all innocent and kind, and she wouldn't have suffered too much malice.

This time, the cause was still her own, which made her feel even more guilty.

Xi Molin smiled slightly, her eyes clear: "Sister, don't be sad, I'm fine now. I know how you all feel about me. I will train hard from now on and won't let anyone bully me again."

Shu Xiangyu's soft, delicate fingertips brushed across her eyebrows and nose, bringing a soothing, ticklish sensation. Most of the shallow wounds had already scabbed over, so they shouldn't leave any scars.

"But you're not allowed to be reckless anymore. If anything happens, remember to tell us. Remember, we're a family. You're not alone anymore, understand?"

Tears welled up in Xi Molin's eyes. She had only been in the Shu family for a little over a month, but their care and love had gradually filled the emptiness in her heart, giving her a sense of security and the motivation to keep moving forward. The confusion about the future was also gradually dissipating.

"Yeah, I remember."

"good…"

After opening up to each other, both of them felt better.

Shu Xiangyu lifted the blanket, preparing to untie her blue and white hospital gown.

Ignoring the pain, Shimmering quickly grabbed her hand.

“You’ve sweated a lot, and we don’t want you to move around too much, so let’s take off your clothes so we can wipe you down.”

But she was genuinely embarrassed to expose her chest like that.

Shu Xiangyu was amused by her nervous appearance.

“We’ve showered together several times already, why are you still shy?”

"Could you not apply it? I'm afraid it will hurt..."

"It's so hot, what if you smell bad if you don't wipe yourself? And I'll be very, very gentle, I won't hurt you."

Shu Xiangyu coaxed her, removed her hand, and then unbuttoned her clothes.

Silly blockhead, what's there to be ashamed of if you're flat-chested?

Even her ribs and bruises were clearly visible; she was still too thin.

She wrung out the towel again and wiped her body very gently.

When it came time to take off her pants, Shu Xiangyu had to coax her for a long time before she finally agreed.

Although Schimerlin was still very shy, she didn't show it, chatting with her sister to distract herself.

After finishing all that, it was getting late. Shu Xiangyu covered her with a blanket before going to the bathroom to wash up.

After Shu Xiangyu finished washing up, Xi Molin had fallen into a deep sleep within ten minutes. It seemed that she was weak and hadn't rested well during the day, so she must be extremely tired.

I tucked her in, afraid she'd catch a cold at night.

Then, she spread the blanket on the bed in half so that it wouldn't feel uncomfortable to lie on. She turned off the overhead light and left only the small lamp by the bedside. Seeing that Momo was sleeping peacefully, she then lay down on her side.

She thought about many things that night, and didn't fall asleep until late into the night.

Five days later, Schimerlin was finally able to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate, only needing to return to the hospital on time to change his dressings.

Shu Yunrong had entrusted all matters to her lawyer friend in the past few days. After sending Momo home, she hurriedly returned to the brigade.

Because of the rib fracture, the doctor specifically advised against any strenuous or excessive activity for a short period of time.

Xi Molin could only rest at home for the time being. Shu Xiangyu no longer needed to go to the dance studio to practice dancing, so he took on the task of taking care of her daily life. Shu Xiangjun went to tutoring classes every day without fail.

But upon returning, Schimerlin encountered a difficult problem…

Before this, she and her sister would occasionally shower and wash their hair together, and she also carefully wiped her body in the hospital.

Now that she's home, even though she's perfectly capable of moving around a little, her older sister ends up washing her clothes for her, doing it all herself with excessive care and attention to detail.

Schimerlin sat on the stool with his head down, looking shy and embarrassed, covering himself with his hands.

Shu Xiangyu looked at her and couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Silly blockhead, we've washed together and dried each other, why are you still so shy? You keep covering yourself up, but I can see everything."

Although she teased her, she still gently avoided her wounds and bruises.

The injury wasn't very noticeable in the first two days, but now it's all over his arms, chest, back, and legs. It breaks Shu Xiangyu's heart to see it, and tears keep welling up in his eyes.

She turned on the hot water and poured it over her entire body.

"These must hurt... If I hit you too hard, just say so, do you know?"

She was afraid of hurting her, but this silly blockhead kept enduring it without making a sound.

"Actually, I can... wash it myself."

She couldn't wash her forehead because of the bandage, but she could still wash herself by herself when taking a bath.

Shu Xiangyu squeezed out some shower gel and spread it evenly on her body: "You sit still and behave yourself. After I leave, you'll have to wash yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xi Molin felt a dull ache in her heart. She looked up at her sister, whose face was also flushed, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Shu Xiangyu dabbed the foam he had made on her nose. Seeing that her eyes were wet and deep as she stared at him, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? You can't bear to part with me?"

"Yes, I'll miss it..."

Schimerling bravely spoke his mind this time, and then lowered his head shyly afterward.

Shu Xiangyu moved behind her and gently stroked her back. The child's skin was good, but she was too thin, and her spine was clearly visible. Her eyes were heavy: "I can't bear to part with you either. You still need someone to take care of you, and I'm really worried about you..."

Xi Molin didn't know how far Haishi was from Qizhou, but the thought of not seeing it for a long time made her inexplicably sad.

"Sister, can I come to see you in the future?"

Shu Xiangyu smiled faintly: "You're so young, what if you get lost while looking for me?"

Schimerlin quickly said, "I won't get lost, and I won't go with just anyone."

Shu Xiangyu continued to rub her arm, knowing that she was very dependent on him now, so he gently comforted her, "When you graduate from junior high school, you can come to me. By then you will definitely have grown a lot taller, and bad people won't be able to kidnap you."

Xi Molin thought that she still had two years before graduating from junior high school, but even if she wanted to now, Rong's parents would definitely not agree.

"Besides, I'll be back during my winter and summer vacations, then you'll be able to see me."

"Um…"

She naturally understood these principles, but understanding them did not change her heavy and painful feeling.

After Shu Xiangyu finished rubbing her legs and feet, he turned on the hot water to rinse them.

After showering her, I dried her hair, dressed her, and then went to shower myself.

Lying in bed, Schimerlin was still feeling down and upset.

She sometimes lamented that she was too much younger than her older sister, and that by the time she went to university, her sister would have already graduated and started working.

She disliked parting, but it was always unavoidable.
