The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

The area downstairs became completely quiet.

The barking stopped, indicating that they had already left the alley.

Schimerling then slumped to the edge of the bed, resting his hands on his knees, tears silently streaming down his face.

She didn't cry out loud, but just stared at the night outside the window and let her tears fall.

Even though she was reluctant, what could she do? There was nothing she could do.

My sister has her own ideals to pursue. She is so outstanding and bright, she will surely achieve her dreams in the future.

As for herself, what should she do next, and where does her future lie...?

As dawn broke, Xi Molin, who had fallen asleep from crying, was woken up by Shu Xiangjun, who called her downstairs for breakfast.

Schimerlin responded, sat up in bed, calmed himself down, and waited for a while before getting up, rubbing his eyes, and going to the bathroom.

After a quick wash, she went downstairs to the dining room and saw only Rong's father, Yang's mother, and Shu Xiangjun sitting at the table. She stopped in her tracks, realizing that her sister had really left home.

Seeing that she looked dazed and had dark circles under her eyes, Shu Yunrong was a little worried: "Mo Mo, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

Schimerling snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and sat down in his chair: "No..."

Seeing this, Shu Xiangjun joked with a smile, "With her sister gone, Mu Tou must be really sad to see her go; his eyes are all swollen from crying..."

Shu Yunrong turned and glared at him, then put another fried dough stick on Momo's plate and gently comforted her, "It's okay, your sister will come back during her vacation. If you miss her, just call her. When she left this morning, she repeatedly told us to take good care of you."

Xi Molin raised her head, a faint smile appearing on her pale face: "Yes, I know, thank you, Dad Rong."

Yang Yufen came out of the kitchen and placed two bowls of cooked multigrain porridge in front of Momo and Shu Yunrong. She then patted Shu Xiangjun on the head and said, "Just eat your food. Why are you talking so much? Go to the kitchen and bring the porridge over."

"Oh…"

Shu Xiangjun didn't dare to say anything more and got up to go to the kitchen.

Yang Yufen sat down and said softly to Momo, "This summer you and your sister have become best friends who can talk about anything. I hope you can also gradually open your heart to us. If there's anything you need to talk to us about, you can always come to us. You can also try to have a heart-to-heart talk with us, okay?"

They all knew that she had always kept her heart closed off and was unwilling to talk to people much.

Fortunately, after coming to the Shu family, Shu Xiangyu became the key to unlock her heart, but there would inevitably be times when they had to part.

Schimerlin nodded dejectedly and replied softly, "Yes, Aunt Yang, I know, I will..."

Shu Xiangjun placed the remaining two bowls of porridge in front of Yang Yufen and himself, then deliberately moved closer to Momo and said proudly in a loud voice, "You have your brother to protect you from now on, so don't be afraid."

"Thanks…"

"Don't be so polite. Protecting your sister is only right and proper."

Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen exchanged glances, both knowing that it couldn't be changed overnight. Children's minds are sensitive and fragile, but as long as they are carefully nurtured, they will eventually melt away.

With her sister away, Xi Molin spent her mornings reading and her afternoons online and listening to music. Her mood didn't seem to change much, but she felt empty inside and couldn't concentrate on anything.

Shu Xiangjun, who is often absent-minded, is still busy with tutoring, and there is not much time to spend with her.

As for the lawsuit against Lu Xiyi, it is proceeding slowly. The whole process is not as simple as imagined. It requires a lot of information and evidence, and it also has to go through court procedures.

In the evening, Shu Xiangyu, who had settled in Haishi, called back and talked a lot about school. You could tell from her words that she was full of anticipation for her future university life.

Next comes the unavoidable military training, which, though rigorous and arduous, allows you to connect with classmates from all over the country and find like-minded friends.

That evening, Xi Molin turned on her computer and logged into QQ. Coincidentally, her sister was also online, so she immediately sent her a message.

Shu Xiangyu sat on the edge of the bed, chatting with her on his phone.

Schimerlin could express in writing what he couldn't say aloud in real life.

My mood, which had been low because of my sister's departure, gradually improved.

After that, they could often chat for a while, talking about the interesting things they encountered. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, they were not afraid of becoming strangers.

Before we knew it, it was ten o'clock. It was Shu Xiangyu's turn to go to the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower, so we said goodnight to each other.

Schimerlin turned off his computer and prepared to wash up and go to bed.

She just felt a little uneasy about suddenly having someone less by her side.

At the end of August, Shu Xiangjun and Xi Molin began registering for school.

Shu Xiangjun is about to enter the second year of high school, while Xi Molin will enter the second year of junior high school. Both of them are in the same school, where Yang Yufen also teaches.

After the incident where Lu Xiyi bullied Momo, Shu Yunrong and Yang Yufen decided not to tell anyone at school about her situation.

It's unclear whether it was a teacher from the training course or Coach Tang Xiaolong who leaked the information.

This led to her being bullied and resented for no reason. To prevent any malicious people from taking advantage of her and doing anything bad to her, it's best to keep it a secret.

Although they believe there are many good people around them, bad people are also everywhere.

In early September, Qizhou Anping Middle School officially opened for the new semester.

After the opening ceremony, flag-raising ceremony, welcoming of new students, and principal's speech, all teachers and students returned to their classrooms.

The second grade class welcomed a new student, Xi Molin. After a brief self-introduction on the podium, she sat down next to a female classmate.

"Hello new classmate, my name is Fang Tian, ​​Fang as in square and round, and Tian as in sweet."

"Hello…"

Schimerlin had already introduced himself on the stage, and nodded calmly to her without saying much.

Fang Tian noticed her restraint and wasn't in a hurry to talk too much. Today's main tasks were collecting books and cleaning the classroom, and there wouldn't be any formal classes for a while, so she changed the subject and talked about some issues that needed attention in the coursework.

During their subsequent school years, the two got along remarkably well, one active and the other quiet, as if they had known each other for a long time.

With her sweet appearance and lively personality, Fang Tian, ​​who was always outgoing, became Xi Molin's first friend in Qizhou.

Soon she met Fang Tian's other two best friends, Qu Shiwei and Shao Dongting from the next class.

During lunch breaks, the four of them would often get together for a meal and chat about interesting stories and gossip from both inside and outside the school.

They talked a lot about handsome and beautiful celebrities, and following celebrities seemed to be their most interesting thing at this stage.

Schimerling mostly took on the role of listener. She didn't talk much, but when she did express her views, she was always very precise. She seemed dull on the surface, but in reality, she was intelligent and steady. The three of them gradually got used to her frequent silences and slow pace.

After more than two months of recuperation, her injuries have almost fully recovered.

My daily routine consists of reading, doing homework, listening to music, and most importantly, chatting online with my sister.

She didn't talk much with her classmates at school, but she had endless things to say when she was with Shu Xiangyu.

They shared their daily funny stories with each other and had a great time chatting.

The pressure and anxiety that Shu Xiangyu had been accumulating every day were also released a lot when he chatted with her.

She sometimes finds it amazing that even though Mu Tou is so much younger than her, there's no generation gap when they chat, and she doesn't feel immature at all; it's just like communicating with someone her own age.

Much better than the immature Shu Xiangjun.

On Thursday noon, after class, Xi Molin and Fang Tian went to the second floor of the junior high school cafeteria for lunch, as usual.

Not long after, Shu Xiangjun, who was attracting attention everywhere, hurriedly came looking for him.

"Wood, what are you eating that's delicious...?"

He sat down next to Ximerlin naturally and casually placed the Coke he had just bought in front of her.

This was the first time he had ever looked for her at school.

The junior high and senior high school buildings are quite far apart, so there are very few opportunities for them to run into each other.

Fang Tian and Qu Shiwei, who were sitting at the same table, widened their eyes without realizing it, and even the girls at other tables looked over at the same time.

They were all curious: when did the usually taciturn Shimmering meet the school heartthrob of the high school...?

"Have you eaten the usual meals?"

Xi Molin hadn't noticed the strange looks they were giving him; he simply asked Shu Xiangjun in a calm tone.

"I've already eaten. Oh, by the way, my mom asked me to give you twenty yuan. She's going out for dinner tonight and told us to just grab something to eat outside before going back."

As he spoke, he took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.

Schimerlin looked at the money and said bluntly, "I don't need this much."

Shu Xiangjun patted her head and smiled indulgently: "Are you silly? If you can't use it all, save it for next time. Consider it your allowance."

"Oh, okay..."

Schimerling kept the money.

"Silly blockhead, I have something to do, so I'll be going now... Goodbye, my dear classmates."

He didn't forget to say goodbye to Fang Tian and the others before leaving, and then he left gracefully.

"..."

Schimerlin was somewhat speechless at his habit of flirting.

"Wow, Merlin, when did you meet Shu Xiangjun...?"

As soon as the others left, Fang Tian immediately came over. Qu Shiwei and Shao Dongting also looked at her, equally puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Schimerling continued eating his meal in small bites, seemingly not quite understanding her astonishment.

"He's a famously handsome guy in the high school, one of the school's most popular guys. His mother is a history teacher at the high school, and his sister, Shu Xiangyu, is the most beautiful girl in our area. It's a pity she's already graduated and left... You actually kept this person a secret from us."

Fang Tian unconsciously raised her voice, wanting to instill these things that were publicly known at school into her dense brain.

Xi Molin looked up at her. She admitted that her sister was the school beauty, but Shu Xiangjun was actually the school heartthrob…

She was a little puzzled: "Is Shu Xiangjun very handsome?"

When she first saw him, she thought he was somewhat handsome, but after looking at him for a while, she thought he was alright.

Qu Shiwei shook his head, expressing deep regret: "It seems that she is not only slow-witted, but also lacks appreciation. Look around, isn't he handsome?"

Schimerling actually looked around... well, compared to the others, she admitted he was indeed quite handsome.

Fang Tian ignored her questions and continued to press, "So what exactly is your relationship? Are you dating? Are you childhood sweethearts...?"

This illogical conjecture instantly shocked the pure brother-sister bond in Schimerlin's heart.

His calm expression finally showed a slight change.

She looked at them in disbelief and said in surprise, "Aren't you thinking too far-fetched? He's my brother, we have no other relationship."

The usually straightforward Shao Dongting rarely spoke up, asking, "Your adopted older brother?"

Schimerling sighed, speechless.

She really didn't want to talk too much about her background, otherwise it would soon spread throughout the school, and then there would be so many opinions that she wouldn't be able to cope.

"Are you stupid? It must be your cousin. Otherwise, why would Shu Xiangjun's mother give money to Merlin?"

Qu Shiwei, who was quick-witted, found a very good reason for her.

"That's understandable, but... it also means that Shu Xiangyu is your cousin."

Fang Tian cast an envious glance at her.

When Shu Xiangyu was mentioned, Xi Molin's helpless expression changed noticeably.

She put down her chopsticks, casually placed the Coke that Shu Xiangjun had bought in front of her, and then asked in a low voice, "Um... Sweetie, is my sister... my cousin famous at school? Can you tell me about her?"

"You've come to the right person..."

Fang Tian, ​​who always loved gossip, readily accepted her bribe and then vividly recounted the inside scoop she knew.
