The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.

When I arrived at school and returned to my dorm, my roommate still hadn't come back.

Shu Xiangyu casually put down the contract and let out a long sigh of relief.

Before Xi Molin could even react after closing the dormitory door, she suddenly turned around, hugged her tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Wood, thank you, thank you for everything you've done for me, thank you..."

Her tense and excited mood, which had been running all the way, could finally relax at this moment.

Schimerlin also reached out and hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder. His unrestrained embrace captivated her, making her even more reluctant to be distracted in such a moment.

Shu Xiangyu leaned on her shoulder as well, her whole body filled with indescribable joy and happiness, making her feel a little dizzy and lightheaded. Such a good thing always felt unreal; she had actually achieved her wish.

"My sister deserves the best..."

Although she was happy for her, this happiness also made her feel lost.

After that, her sister will only get busier and busier, and perhaps the chances of seeing each other throughout the year will be even fewer than they are now. This is something she doesn't want to accept but can't do anything about.

"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what I would have done, and I don't even want to think about the consequences..."

Shu Xiangyu still feels lingering fear whenever he thinks about that night, and even feels like he has survived a disaster.

Momo is truly her lucky star.

Feeling her leaning on him with a sense of security and strength, Ximerlin felt extremely satisfied.

She closed her eyes and hugged her sister tightly again. She longed to stay with her like this forever.

Only when she's by my side can I fill the emptiness in my heart.

“It will get better and better.”

Her deep, pleasant voice was reassuring, but unexpectedly, her cool lips brushed against Shu Xiangyu's fair and soft ear, sending a tingling sensation through his heart.

She had never experienced this strange feeling before. She didn't think too much about it. She was used to being close to Momo, and these things were already commonplace for them.

After calming down, the two picked up their packed suitcases and prepared to head to the train station.

As he boarded the car again and watched the pedestrians and scenery rushing past the window, Schimerlin's mood became even more depressed.

She longed to integrate into this metropolis like her sister, yet she felt she didn't belong here.

Penniless and powerless, she had no foundation to stand on, and the gap between her and her sister's excellence was obvious.

"Wood, what are you thinking about?"

Shu Xiangyu noticed that she looked serious, as if she had something on her mind.

Schimerlin shook his head gently: "It's nothing."

She took her hand and held it tightly.

His sidelong glance revealed his worry: "You'll be taking the college entrance exam in a year. Don't take what you promised Dad before to heart. Just choose a major you like, okay?"

"elder sister…"

"Um…"

Schimerlin turned to look at her, his deep, serene eyes like a spring that had been settling for years, penetrating straight to the heart.

"Will you be coming home even less often in the future...?"

Her words, tinged with a hint of sadness, made Shu Xiangyu lower his eyes and remain silent.

Looking at her hands with their distinct knuckles and slender fingers, she replied in a low voice after a long while, "I guess so... For me right now, my career in the industry is just beginning, and I'm actually quite uncertain about what the future holds."

Anyone would have such worries. Even for celebrities with money and resources, it's not easy to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.

After all, only by gaining the recognition of the audience and the market can one truly have a bright future.

Although Schimerling was young, he could see through these interests.

She gripped her hand tightly, straightened her back, and said sincerely, "Sister is beautiful and talented. I believe that as long as you study and work hard, you will definitely be able to put on a show that is better than many stars... Moreover, Rong's father, Yang's mother, Xiangjun, and I will always support you and will always be your audience."

With unwavering support, Shu Xiangyu's confidence soared. Although she couldn't know what the future held, she believed she could handle the challenges ahead.

She turned slightly to face her, her eyes overflowing with tenderness and emotion.

A warm hand gently stroked her tender, flushed face: "I understand your feelings. Even though I will be very busy in the future, I promise you that I will come back to see you whenever I have time."

Schimerlin's eyes gradually welled up with tears as she felt reluctant to part with him.

The hand pressed against her face sent a delicate and soft sensation through her, making her feel dazed and captivated.

She dared not look directly into her gleaming eyes.

"I don't want to be separated from you for too long or too far..."

His deep voice conveyed a profound sadness.

This was the first time she had clearly expressed her dependence on Shu Xiangyu.

Perhaps knowing that this would mean a complete break with the past, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to express her feelings.

Shu Xiangyu was completely taken aback when she said something so blunt, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, it's normal for a young girl to have such thoughts.

She smiled indulgently and affectionately, playfully pinched her cheek, and coaxed her softly, "Silly girl, I won't become distant or ignore you just because I'm busy with work. You have a lot of studies to do now, and you need to focus all your energy on the college entrance exam. Although we won't be able to see each other often, we can chat on our phones and call each other. After you finish the college entrance exam, you can come to Haishi to see me..."

Schimerlin seemed to have been waiting for her to say those words.

She looked up at her excitedly, her eyes sparkling with joy: "Really? After I finish my college entrance exams, I can really come to see you..."

Shu Xiangyu lowered her hand, her smile still on her lips, and replied, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you? I will have a fixed place to stay in Haishi, so just come and stay."

"Well, I can find a summer job in Shanghai then."

Are you still sad now?

Shu Xiangyu had already figured out her thoughts completely.

Since she came to the family, she has also developed a lot of affection for this lovely and sincere younger sister.

She wasn't the only one who felt reluctant to part with it.

But she was finally about to embark on her long-awaited dream, and there was simply no time to pay much attention to her.

She knew that Momo didn't ask for much, but she lacked a sense of security and was afraid of gradually drifting apart from herself, which was why she was always so uneasy.

Xi Molin shook his head slightly: "Sadness is only temporary. I will try my best to catch up with you and Xiangjun and become Rong's father and Yang's mother's pride as well."

"Yes, I believe you can do it."

Their clasped hands gave each other strength.

"By the way, are you going to tell Rong's parents about signing the contract?"

Shu Xiangyu's expression turned serious: "Let's talk about these things after I've completely settled them. Also, don't tell them about that night when you go back, so they won't worry."

"Yes, I won't tell."

Schimerlin didn't know what she was planning, but he figured she had her reasons.

After this conversation, they all felt relieved, and their low spirits lifted.

Upon arriving at the train station, the two of them collected their train tickets from the automatic ticket machine and walked to the entrance.

"Mo Mo, wait here for a moment, don't go in yet, I'll be right there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Xiangyu turned and ran towards the supermarket next to the train station.

Before Shimmering could say anything, she had already disappeared from sight.

Outside the train station, crowds thronged, with hurried travelers carrying, lifting, or sliding their luggage.

After more than ten minutes, while she waited and watched, she finally saw Pingting's figure running towards her.

Schimerlin quickly put his suitcase down and hurried over to meet him.

"I bought you some snacks for the road. We won't have time to eat lunch together, so I bought a hamburger and a Coke, which are your favorites..."

Shu Xiangyu was panting heavily, her face flushed, showing how rushed she had come.

"Why did you buy so much? I can't possibly eat it all."

Schimerlin noticed that she had not only bought hamburgers and cola, but also a large bag of snacks.

Spicy strips, dried tofu, beef jerky, jelly, and potato chips and fries—they're treating her like a little kid.

Shu Xiangyu, carrying the snacks, simply smiled faintly at her exclamation and said, "If you can't finish them, take them home and eat them slowly. Come on, I'll see you to the station."

After passing through ticket checks and security, the two successfully entered the train station. Shu Xiangyu did not have a train ticket, but could use his ID card to enter the station through the manual channel.

They found the ticket gate, but it wasn't time to check in yet, so they just found a place to sit and rest.

"Eat something to fill your stomach first."

Shu Xiangyu took out a hamburger and a cola for her.

Ximerlin took the food, but didn't start eating. He just looked at her and asked, "What about you? Aren't you going to eat lunch?"

"You know I don't eat these things. I'll just grab something to eat outside when I get back to school... You go ahead and eat."

Shu Xiangyu urged her on while keeping a close eye on the waiting area.

By 1:30, a long line had already formed at the ticket gate.

Xi Molin dragged her suitcase and stood in line behind her. Shu Xiangyu waited until Xi Molin finished getting her ticket checked and her figure disappeared from sight along with the throng of passengers before she left the train station alone.

Even though they were both reluctant to part ways, they had no choice but to return to their own lives.

The separation is only temporary. We should strive to achieve what we desire so that when we meet again, we will have no regrets.

I bought a hard seat train ticket in Shanghai from Ximerlin. The journey was a bit long, but it was cheap, which saved me a lot of money.

This time when she went back, Shu Xiangyu insisted on choosing a sleeper berth for her, not wanting her to be exhausted from sitting.

Schimerling couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he reluctantly chose a hard sleeper berth.

Sitting by the window of my sleeper berth, I watched the train gradually pull away from the platform.

This dazzling and bustling city of Shanghai became her next life goal, and she only hoped that she could still stay safely by her sister's side by then...

As the National Day holiday ends, the city's nights become restless and congested once again.

Mirage, Bixi Garden.

After returning home from her social engagements, Mei Xiaofei, having drunk quite a bit, was helped into the bathroom by Yu Qingtong, intending to wash up before going back to her room.

Sit down, take off your clothes, rinse with water, wash your hair, rinse with water again, take a shower, rinse with water again, finally dry yourself off, put on your pajamas, and then blow-dry your hair.

Yu Qingtong then helped the drowsy Mei Xiaofei back to the bedroom, settled her in, and then took her pajamas to wash up.

This smooth and hands-on approach to care had been rehearsed many times.

Mei Xiaofei was very cooperative, showing no dissatisfaction or shyness, after all, they had already done more intimate things many times before.

After tidying up, Yu Qingtong returned to her room and quietly took out her usual pillow and quilt from the wardrobe.

She entered the living room and neatly spread out on the comfortable, wide brown sofa, which would be her sleeping place tonight.

Mei Xiaofei never allowed her to sleep with him. Even if they had just finished making love and were still feeling the afterglow, she would make him leave immediately without any tenderness or lingering affection.

Tonight, she's staying out all night, and as always, she'll sleep in the living room. Even though there are two guest rooms available, she doesn't feel entitled to sleep there.

Yu Qingtong sat quietly on the sofa, looking at her phone for a while.

He then got up, went to the dining room, poured two glasses of warm water, drank one himself, and took the other to the bedroom.

After helping Mei Xiaofei sit up and giving her a few sips of warm water, she seemed to become much more awake.

Her face flushed, she stared with unfocused eyes at the silent woman beside the bed, her gaze lowered, bathed in the soft light of the bedside lamp.

She slowly extended her hand, her voice soft and low, and said, "Come here..."

Yu Qingtong slightly raised her eyes, casually placed the water glass beside her, and then leaned down into her arms as her arms wrapped around her.

The room was quiet and still. No one spoke. Yu Qingtong rested her head on her chest, closed her eyes, and listened to the rhythm of her heartbeat.

Mei Xiaofei seemed lost in thought, simply stroking her back repeatedly, again and again, patiently, as if to soothe her, or perhaps to express his longing…

Until the movements gradually stopped and the breathing became even.

Yu Qingtong then propped herself up to sit up, her deep, dark eyes fixed on the sleeping woman.

She didn't know if her sudden gentleness tonight was due to being drunk or something else, but she knew it wasn't because of her.
