After more than four hours of travel, the car finally arrived at the gate of the Shu family's house at six o'clock in the morning!

It was just getting light, and everything was extremely quiet. Xu Lei turned around and looked at his boss, who was fast asleep in the back of the car, and hesitated for a moment.

Should he wake her up? Or should he have her family come and help her home? Or should he let her sleep until she wakes up and then decide what to do?

Feeling somewhat indecisive, he opened the car door to clear his head outside. After driving all night, he was exhausted and extremely sleepy.

He gently closed the car door, stretched his stiff body a few times, and rubbed his face dryly with his hands, trying to ease his fatigue. Although he had quit smoking for many years, he desperately wanted to have a cigarette at that moment…

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came out of the Shu family's main gate!

Wearing a black tracksuit and white sneakers, Schimerlin slowly walked over, ready to go for his morning run.

Xu Lei stopped what he was doing and stared at her. He had been following Shu Xiangyu for more than three years and knew Shu's parents and her younger brother, but he had never seen this short-haired woman before.

"Excuse me, are you also from the Shu family?"

Since they came from the Shu family, they must be relatives and friends.

Xi Molin glanced up at the slender man, then her gaze fell on the van behind him. Her calm eyes seemed to glow, and her heart skipped a beat. But she quickly looked away, afraid that her thoughts might come true: "Yes, I am Shu Xiangjun's sister."

That means she's the boss's sister!

Xu Lei was somewhat surprised, and then it dawned on him that he seemed to have heard his boss mention before that she had a younger sister who was a member of the armed police in a distant place, and he thought that this must be her.

He took two steps closer, rubbed his hands together, nodded, and said in a low, earnest voice, "Hello, I am Shu Xiangyu's personal driver, my name is Xu Lei. My boss was a little... drunk last night, and it's not convenient for me to take her back to her room. Could you please help her home?"

Normally, if Xiao Chen is around, he doesn't need to worry about these things. After all, there's a difference between men and women, and he's perceptive enough to always maintain the proper distance from his boss.

Schimerlin looked up again, and sure enough, she was in the car!

She thought she wouldn't come back so soon.

The fleeting guess in her mind was confirmed. Zhuozhuo's eyes, now even more shimmering and surprised in the dim light, and the usually dormant heart in her chest began to beat wildly. Just like that, she could no longer control her heart and emotions...

Xu Lei didn't give her time to refuse. He quickly went over and opened the car door, where Shu Xiangyu was lying flat on the unfolded car seat, covered with a thin blanket.

She was sleeping very soundly, and none of the noise woke her up.

Shermling remained standing still, her gaze subtly shifting away, no longer daring to look closely at the woman hidden deep in her heart, a woman she seemed to be almost forgetting, yet whom she had long loved and resented.

Why is she in such a hurry to come back?

Was it because they found out they were back?

But those four years of ignoring each other were a real occurrence.

At this moment, the two are only a few steps apart. How should she treat her?

Whenever it comes to matters concerning Shu Xiangyu, she seems to instinctively become slow and hesitant.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing that she seemed lost in thought, Xu Lei lowered his voice and asked her again.

He didn't dare wake his boss; she had a terrible temper when she woke up, and sometimes it could be terrifying.

Schimerlin suddenly snapped out of his daze, his expression blank.

Is there any other way?

If she didn't want to help, she could only wake up Rong's father, Yang's mother, or Xiangjun.

But it was still early, and it wasn't a big deal anyway. After thinking for a moment, despite his unresolved concerns, Schimerlin decided to do it himself.

She steadied herself, then walked a few steps to the front of the car and said in a low voice, "Could you please open the door and turn on the lights for me in a bit?"

Xu Lei nodded and replied, "You don't need to be so polite. Don't worry about helping the boss. I'll be in charge of opening the door and lighting the way."

Xi Molin gave a soft hum, took a few deep breaths, and rubbed her arms to relieve the soreness before bending down and stepping into the car. She walked silently to Shu Xiangyu's side, carefully removed the thin blanket from her body, and bent down to hug Shu Xiangyu's neck and knees through her soft hair, now only inches apart.

The long-awaited closeness made Xi Molin feel both nervous and somewhat dazed. The familiar, unique, alluring, and slightly sweet fragrance and faint scent of alcohol emanating from her body immediately filled her nostrils, making her already tense heart feel as if it was about to burst out of her chest. The gentle face against her shoulder was many times more beautiful than on television. She didn't need to exert much force; this woman was so light and soft, and it seemed that she could live on water alone all year round in order to maintain her figure.

Xu Lei was surprised that she could lift the boss so easily! He was about to ask her if she needed help, but then he thought that as an armed police officer, she should have the strength. So, he just used his hands to protect the boss's head from being hit. But his worries were unnecessary. The person who held her in her arms would not let her get hurt at all.

After getting out of the car, Ximerlin walked effortlessly toward the front door. The temperature of her skin, which he touched, changed from slightly cool to warm, and then gradually became scorching. She kept her eyes fixed ahead and did not look at her appearance any further.

Xu Lei took Shu Xiangyu's bag, phone, and high heels from the corner of the car, then quickly ran to push open the slightly ajar door.

Using the flashlight shone from Xu Lei's phone, Xi Molin carried Shu Xiangyu steadily the whole way. When they arrived at the third floor and her room, Xu Lei only turned on the small bedside lamp and lifted the blanket to make room for her. Xi Molin then carefully placed her on the bed, covered her with the blanket, and made sure the corners were covered to prevent drafts. Xu Lei also carefully placed his phone and bag on the bedside table next to her.

Xi Molin's expression turned somber, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, though she was still tense. She looked at Xu Lei and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work. You should go back and rest early."

"You're too kind, it's what I should do."

Xu Lei chuckled and scratched his head, a little embarrassed, as it was all his duty: "I just really didn't realize you were so strong!"

He was impressed when he saw her carrying the boss upstairs without even breaking a sweat.

Schimerlin remained calm, turned off the lamp, walked to the window, and drew the curtains: "Let's go, let her get some more sleep."

"Thank you for your help. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Goodbye..."

Xu Lei left the room before her. He just wanted to find a place to catch up on sleep. He was too tired and sleepy after staying up all night.

She quietly walked to the door, suppressing the deep sorrow and bitterness in her heart. She turned to look back at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed. Some things, even though a long time has passed, the deep-seated heartache has not diminished with the passage of time.

Her obsession over the years has permeated all her emotional world. She knows very well that no one will ever come back into her heart, nor will anyone make her disappear from their heart. Although the despair and pain she experienced back then still linger in her heart, she is not indifferent to it. She has simply learned to let go and hide it.

Until the sound of the door closing came, the person who had been keeping their eyes closed in the darkness could no longer pretend and opened their bright eyes.

The long-lost intimacy left her momentarily dazed, unable to distinguish reality from illusion. Just as she often dreamt, her Momo had truly grown up, her arms stronger and more powerful. But the barrier remained, and she no longer knew how to interact with her calmly and without reservation...

While running in the villa area with its excellent green environment, Xi Molin encountered many people exercising in the morning and walking their dogs. She mainly focuses on long-distance running, and when she was in the team, she would run more than 10 kilometers every day.

Listening to upbeat music and maintaining a good rhythm was no different from usual, but today I inexplicably felt a bit mentally exhausted.

She stopped after running ten kilometers, slightly out of breath. It was already bright outside, and there were many more people out exercising and taking walks.

After stretching, she turned off the music, rubbing her slightly sore right arm as she slowly walked back, occasionally taking deep breaths of fresh air. As she looked up at the veil-like dawn, a thought suddenly arose in her mind…

When Lu Qianni woke up, she found no one beside her, so Merlin must have gotten up long ago.

She glanced at the time on her phone; it was just past eight o'clock. It was a rare treat to spend the night in such a luxurious place, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. She got up, walked to the window, stretched, and looked out at the bright sunshine, the lush green garden, and the birdsong. Perhaps it was her eagerness to go home, but her relaxed mood lifted considerably!

"Time to go home, time to go home..."

After quickly washing up in the bathroom, Lu Qianni took out her olive-green armed police uniform, intending to wear it home later. Then she started packing the things she had bought for her family yesterday. She missed her family so much, and she especially wanted to eat her mother's cooking, her father's braised fish, and her grandmother's fried pork and eggplant.

Just as she was almost finished getting ready, Xi Molin, who had finished his morning exercise, opened the door and came in. Seeing that she was already dressed, he said with slight surprise, "I thought you were still asleep!"

Lu Qianni pulled her suitcase closed: "When did you get up?"

Schimerlin walked to the wardrobe, took off his sports jacket, revealing a light gray short-sleeved workout shirt.

"It's past six o'clock."

Lu Qianni pushed her suitcase to the door. Judging from her expression, she knew she had gone for a run. She gave her a helpless yet disdainful look: "Are you really that serious? We're not even in the team. Do you have to be so hardworking?"

Schimerling casually replied, "I'm used to it."

"Okay, I'm used to you being like this, but your arm injury hasn't fully healed yet, so don't overdo it."

Lu Qianni reluctantly accepted her reason.

"Ok, I know."

"Then I'll go downstairs first."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xi Molin suddenly turned around and asked, "Qianni, I'm thinking of driving to Tibet in a few days. Would you like to come with me?"

Lu Qianni looked at her with surprise in her eyes: "What's wrong? You finally come home for a visit, instead of spending time with your parents, you're thinking of going to Tibet?"

"I really want to go. Rong's parents won't say anything. Think about it first, and let me know as soon as you decide to go."

Schimerlin remained calm, offering no further explanation.

This holiday is very long, and besides wanting to spend time with Rong's parents, she also wants to take this opportunity to fulfill a long-held wish.

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Lu Qianni knew that she was not an impulsive person and always planned her actions carefully, but she still didn't quite understand her sudden idea.

"Ah."

"Let's go, see me out."

Xi Molin quickly changed his clothes, straightened his collar as he followed her out of the room: "It's not easy to get a ride here, I'll drive Rong's father's car to take you to the station."

Lu Qianni immediately replied with a smile, "That's great, I don't need to spend any more money."

After breakfast, before leaving the house, Xi Molin told Rong's parents that his sister had returned early in the morning and was sleeping upstairs.

After thanking her uncle and aunt and saying goodbye, Lu Qianni followed Xi Molin to the garage.

"Merlin, are you saying your mysterious sister is back?"

Lu Qianni couldn't contain her curiosity and desire to explore.

"Ah."

Seeing that Merlin had no intention of making an introduction, she sighed, "That's a pity, I won't be able to meet him."

Schimerlin naturally guessed her little scheme, so he explained to her tactfully, "It's not that I'm deliberately preventing you from seeing her, it's just that she really doesn't like meeting people she's not familiar with."

Not even his own sister's comrades? That makes him seem rather aloof and cold!

Lu Qianni was self-aware enough not to force anyone, and she gave up her expectation of seeing her sister. Instead, she asked her, "Are you really going to Tibet? It's so far. The round trip will take up all your vacation time."

"Yes, I'm going."

Without hesitation, Xi Molin opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. Lu Qianni put the luggage in the trunk and then got into the passenger seat.

"Actually, I really want to go out and see the world. Staying in the brigade for so long, I don't have any time to go to other places."

A road trip to Tibet is a dream for many, a yearning for freedom. The stunning scenery along the way constantly attracts people from all over the world, and she was no exception.

"You don't have to force yourself. If you can't go, just stay home and spend more time with your family."

Schimerling was prepared that she couldn't go with them, but she would set off no matter what.

"Okay, I'll contact you when I've thought it through."

The car quickly drove out of the garage and headed towards the bus station.
