The door was closed and locked. The woman, wearing slippers, went to the bathroom first, and the sound of running water could be heard.

When she came out, she tied up her long, loose hair as she walked to the sofa.

He then bent down and began to take off Fang Tian's clothes until she was only wearing underwear. The coolness of the air conditioner in the room instantly spread throughout her body.

This commotion finally caused Fang Tian to show signs of waking up.

She opened her drowsy eyes, her deep gaze seeming to be fixed on a priceless treasure that haunted her dreams.

She thought she was dreaming, so without thinking, she reached out and wrapped her arms around the neck of the woman next to her, trying to get closer to her.

"Li Siyin, you've finally deigned to see me..."

The girl's youthful face was flushed with a beautiful blush, and her long eyelashes were streaked with tears.

Deep within her hazy eyes lay an untold tenderness, a sign of budding romance and a yearning to throw herself into it without hesitation.

Li Siyin braced himself on his arms beside her, his calm and deep eyes filled with a profound sadness, his breathing gradually deepening.

She knew her bottom line well. Although she maintained an ambiguous posture and did not immediately separate from her, she still had to make things clear to her.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. If you want to see me again, focus on your college entrance exam. When you've made a name for yourself, we'll meet again..."

His calm and indifferent voice sounded as if he were talking about someone else's affairs.

Li Siyin's emotions have always been as steady as a mountain. Even if she does something extremely extreme, she will resolve and accept it without changing her expression.

As Fang Tian gradually regained consciousness, she realized that this was not a dream, and she also understood the meaning behind her words.

She shouldn't try to soften her heart with those childish tricks; it would only make her more annoyed.

He even resolutely decided to leave, just to no longer be bothered and disturbed by her.

She knew she loved her deeply, and she thought that as long as she turned eighteen and could decide her own future, she could try to accept her unreserved admiration and her childish affection.

Unfortunately, she was very wrong.

Li Siyin only ever treated her with the care and affection of a junior, and would never develop any romantic feelings for a woman of the same sex.

Fang Tian remembered every single word she had ever said.

"Do I have no chance...?"

Her low, hoarse voice was choked with sobs, as if she had been abandoned, which was indeed the case for her.

"You should understand the choices I've made all along..."

Li Siyin's calm tone and emotion showed that she had no other thoughts about Fang Tian.

She has proven it time and time again.

But she was unwilling to accept it. She longed for her love, her attention, her care, and the tenderness that would make her fall for her.

She was unwilling to ruthlessly take back what had already been given to her, and she couldn't bear to part with it.

Fang Tian understood her choice perfectly well, but she simply refused to admit it.

She always knew that Li Siyin's future choices would never include her, who had suddenly barged into her life.

To each other, aren't we all just passing through...?

Although Fang Tian was drunk, her consciousness was clearer than ever before.

She loosened her grip, no longer holding her, and covered her eyes with the back of her hand, but the tears still flowed slowly through the gaps.

Li Siyin propped herself up and stood up, her brows furrowed in a rare frown, and she sighed inwardly, seemingly also troubled.

"The water in the bathroom is ready. Go take a shower first, and get some rest afterward."

After saying that, she didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to her room, closing the door behind her.

Fang Tian was left alone lying on the sofa.

Hearing the door close, she knew she had left, leaving her with a final act of dignity.

At this moment, my whole body was aching terribly, along with my heart.

Having just experienced love for the first time, she was utterly defeated, with no room for struggle and no room for her to make any attempt to salvage the relationship.

She curled up, her sobs becoming uncontrollable, though still very soft, so soft that only she could hear them.

In the end, she still crashed headlong into the wall...

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Tian sat up, dressed in her clothes, pants, socks, and shoes, looking exactly as she had arrived.

She wasn't planning on taking a shower; there was no need to make her house dirty anymore.

Li Siyin stayed in her room the whole time and didn't come out.

She really should leave; continuing to cling on will only make things awkward for both of them.

Fang Tian swayed as she stood up and stood quietly for a while. The light and pain in her eyes had vanished, leaving only a deathly stillness.

She didn't say or do anything more, nor did she bother Li Siyin again. She chose to leave quietly, and even the sound of the door closing was barely audible.

Li Siyin sat quietly on the edge of the bed, seemingly aware of Fang Tian's every move.

As soon as the outer door closed, she slowly opened the bedroom door and walked out.

The living room lights were still on, and the water in the bathroom was still running. Apart from the faint smell of alcohol in the air, everything seemed so ordinary.

Despite her unwavering strength, she ultimately failed to protect her own heart.

She came here to escape the past, but ended up inexplicably caught up in another relationship. Fortunately, this time she has the right to choose and the reason to refuse…

What makes her feel guilty is that this choice comes at the cost of hurting a sincere, lovely, and naive girl.

She had done her best to resolve the situation, hoping that her departure would allow her to let go completely and not let her efforts of more than ten years go to waste, so that she could have some peace of mind.

But why, even after she felt relieved, did tears still fall along with her heartache?

Perhaps she wasn't as cold and heartless as she imagined; after all, who could resist such unreserved, sincere, and pure affection?

Fang Tian's future holds countless possibilities. She has seen the vibrant world, experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and even had a passionate love affair that left a deep impression on her.

Her heart could hold nothing else; her only wish now was that the silly girl could have her own world and a rich and wonderful future…

Schimerling arrived home after 10 p.m.

Aunt Yang was still waiting for her in the living room.

When she returned, Yang Yufen did not ask her why she had gone out suddenly; she was just glad that she had come back safely.

Schimerlin felt a little bad and said that Sweetie had something to do, but it had been resolved.

Yang Yufen told her to rest well these few days, to read if she wanted to, and not to read if she didn't want to, and to adjust her mental preparation for the college entrance examination.

Xi Molin felt that Yang Ma's trust and understanding of her was stronger than that of Xiang Jun, and she was very confident that she would make steady preparations for the college entrance examination.

Back in her room, she had just changed her clothes and was about to wash off the sweat when her phone rang again.

She picked up her phone, and it was Sweetie!

Merlin, are you home yet?

Judging from her voice, Shimmerling figured she must be much more awake now.

"We're here. I was just about to wash up. How are you feeling?"

"Thankfully... I made it back to my own home."

Schimerlin sat on the edge of the bed, his expression slightly somber: "That neighbor who lives across from you... I've never heard you mention her before. Although she seems a bit aloof, she's been quite nice to you."

Fang Tian sat on her sofa in her own home. The room was pitch black, with only a few small red lights on.

"She was really good to me... but she's leaving tomorrow."

His sighs and melancholy were palpable.

"leave…"

Schimerlin was somewhat puzzled, feeling that it wasn't as simple as a business trip or a vacation.

"Actually, she moved here during the summer after our junior year of high school. She was just staying temporarily, and she probably won't be coming back this time..."

The past events between the two flashed through Fang Tian's mind like a slideshow.

Even the words they once spoke, the glances they exchanged, and the things they did together were all deeply etched in her memory.

"You can't bear to see her leave..."

Schimerlin sensed a peculiar affection in her words for women, one that was neither like that of family nor like that of friends.

"We were just strangers who met by chance, and whether I want to let her go or not, it won't change her decision... It's getting late, Merlin. Thank you for taking me home tonight. Go wash up and get some rest. We both need to focus on the college entrance exam and try to get into our dream universities."

"Okay, then you should stay home these next few days and don't go out drinking anymore, so that Grandma Xu won't worry about you."

"Yes, I won't."

"Goodbye then."

"Bye-Bye."

After ending the call, Xi Molin put down his phone, but an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

She couldn't figure out what it was, so she went to the bathroom to wash up first, prioritizing the college entrance exam.

As for Fang Tian, ​​she lay on her side on the sofa, hung up the phone, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep. She was too tired, both mentally and physically exhausted.

The night before the college entrance examination, Shu Yunrong rushed back from the detachment. He had taken two days off to accompany Momo through the exam.

Both Shu Xiangyu and Shu Xiangjun, who were far away, sent their encouragement and blessings to Momo via telephone.

We hope she can achieve her goal and get good results, which will not only comfort her parents but also bring solace to the spirits of her deceased relatives.

It would be a lie to say that Ximerlin, who was in bed early, wasn't nervous. But he wasn't particularly nervous; he just tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She took out her phone and dialed her sister's number.

It was past eleven o'clock when Shu Xiangyu returned to the hotel after filming a night scene. Before he could even wash up, he received a call from her.

"Hey, Wood."

"Sister, are you resting?"

"Not yet, I just got back to the hotel."

"Then you should wash up first."

"It's okay, no rush... Can't you sleep?"

Schimerlin lay on his side, his phone on speakerphone, the room utterly quiet: "Hmm, can't sleep."

Shu Xiangyu leaned back on the soft couch, feeling much more comfortable after a long day of running around.

"I also had some insomnia the night before my college entrance exam. I kept imagining what the exam would be like, how difficult the questions would be, what knowledge points I hadn't reviewed properly, and what I would do if I did poorly... Do you also think about these things?"

"Yes, I think about a lot of things..."

"It's only natural to feel this way. After all, the college entrance examination is related to the life of children from ordinary families. However, in addition to reviewing their usual grades, the most important thing about the college entrance examination is to test a person's psychological resilience under pressure. Once you panic and lose your composure, even if you usually have good grades, you may not do well on the exam. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Anyway, everyone has the same exam time and the same exam questions. As long as you sit in your seat and answer the questions seriously, you will have done right by your efforts and hard work."

Listening to her sister's comforting words based on her different perspective, Schimerlin's worried and tense heart gradually relaxed.

After all, she often participates in martial arts competitions, so she has the mental fortitude to cope with pressure.

However, the real college entrance examination is definitely much stricter than the usual mock exams, and the difficulty level is the highest.

"I understand, I will keep a calm mindset."

"Yes, Wood will always be the best in our hearts. If you do well on the exam this time, I will grant you one wish. As long as it is within my ability, I will agree to it."

Schimerlin immediately replied happily, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely try my best."

"Then you should go to sleep early. Sleep as much as you can so you can have plenty of energy for tomorrow's college entrance exam. I'm cheering you on."

"Okay, you should get some rest too. Goodnight."

Goodnight, Momo.

After the two hung up the phone, Schimerin turned off his phone and went back to sleep.

Shu Xiangyu sighed softly, hoping that Momo could finish her exams smoothly in the next two days and get into her ideal university, so that all her hard work and effort would not have been in vain.

I have passed the physical examination and political review for the Armed Police Academy. As long as I can get a good score, being admitted will be a natural outcome.
