The actress is reborn and is chasing after her husband.
Chapter 54 Taboo
After dinner, all six of them got completely drunk.
The proprietress had no choice but to contact Fang Tian's grandmother, her former teacher.
Grandma Xu then contacted their homeroom teacher, who in turn contacted their parents to pick them up and take them home.
Yang Yufen returned home quietly, having regained some of her senses.
Schimerlin wasn't very good at drinking, and he didn't drink as much as Fang Tian and the others.
When they were about to go upstairs, Yang Yufen wanted to accompany her, but she was worried that if she got drunk and lost her balance, she might fall.
Schimerling smiled and declined, saying that she was not so drunk as to be unconscious and that she could walk and take care of herself normally.
She returned to her room in a daze, and without even turning on the lights, she walked familiarly to the bedside and lay down on it.
Now, every breath I exhale feels like I'm reeking of alcohol.
She had never known what it felt like to be drunk before, but tonight, after a few drinks, it wasn't as unpleasant as she had imagined.
The feeling of being intoxicated was like floating on the clouds.
I wonder where my sister is now, is she still filming, is she eating on time, and is she very tired...?
She longed to hear her voice, but was afraid of disturbing her, so she decided to hold back a little longer.
Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep.
It was past three in the morning, and the area around the small building was quiet, with the streetlights beside the courtyard casting a dim yellow light.
Shu Xiangyu, alone, carrying a small suitcase, quietly approached the courtyard gate...
Luckily, she didn't forget to bring her house key, otherwise she would have had to wake Momo up to open the door for her.
Guided by her phone's flashlight, she quietly made her way back upstairs.
Perhaps it was because this was the time when she was in the deepest sleep, she did not wake her mother, who was a light sleeper.
Upon arriving at the room, Shu Xiangyu was puzzled to see the door wide open. However, when she saw the bedroom, she realized that Mo Mo was lying on the bed without even taking off her shoes, and there was a faint smell of alcohol in the air.
She suddenly realized that Mo Mo had not only learned to drink, but had also gotten drunk…
Shu Xiangyu turned on the light, put her luggage in the closet, took off her thin coat, hung it up, and closed the closet door.
She came to the bedside and quietly leaned closer to the sleeping Momo.
She hasn't been back for a long time. Even when she took the college entrance exam, she was too busy to come back and be with her. I wonder if she feels resentful towards her.
Momo, who is almost eighteen, has changed a lot since she first came home.
The bed where I used to lie down anywhere is now a place where I can lie at an angle with my feet sticking out.
Thanks to my mom making her drink fresh milk every day to supplement her nutrition over the past few years, coupled with long-term exercise, she has grown taller than me.
His youthful features have gradually matured, becoming more refined and profound, and he has gained a more mature air.
She's grown up quietly and become a young woman...
Shu Xiangyu smiled indulgently and reached out to touch her forehead, the warmth touching the slight coolness.
Even though summer was approaching, the June nights were still quite chilly, and the silly blockhead fell asleep without even covering himself with a blanket.
She turned and went to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water with a towel inside. She came to the bedside, placed the basin on the floor, wrung out the water, and sat down on the edge of the bed to gently wipe her face and neck, just as she had taken care of herself before.
Then she painstakingly removed her shoes and clothes that reeked of alcohol, revealing her fair, snow-white skin.
Long-term martial arts training has left her with no excess fat, smooth and firm muscle lines, and a clear six-pack, unlike the slender figures that others maintain through deliberate dieting.
Shu Xiangyu was initially focused, but after taking off her underwear, the more she wiped her down, the more shy she felt. Her gaze trembled slightly, and she no longer dared to look directly at her.
They are no longer as open as before. Now that they are mature in all aspects, even if the relationship is very close, they should keep some distance.
After wiping her down, Shu Xiangyu quietly put on her pajamas, covered herself with a light blanket, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
What a troublesome blockhead! She didn't even wake up after all that.
She then prepared to wash off the light sweat that had appeared on her body.
By the time she finished tidying up and lay back in bed, it was nearly 4:30 a.m., and the sky outside was still pitch black. She could sleep for a few more hours.
This time, Xi Molin slept on the outside, while Shu Xiangyu could only sleep on the inside.
She spent most of the day filming, then rushed back to Haishi in the evening to meet and have dinner with the director of another film. She then took a plane back to tidy up the silly wood. After lying down, she felt extremely tired. She snuggled up next to her loved ones, feeling comfortable and at ease, and soon fell asleep.
Yesterday's sunny weather turned gloomy and heavy this morning, though the birds still chirped crisply and a cool breeze occasionally blew in through the lattice window. After a good night's sleep, Schimerlin finally woke up.
When she opened her eyes, besides feeling a little dizzy and slightly aching, she also felt something pressing down on her. The moment she turned her head, her sister's serene profile appeared before her. She was shocked, thinking she was still dreaming...
It wasn't until she quietly turned to the side and reached out to touch her sister's hair, the touch bringing a sense of reality, that she realized this wasn't a dream, but real.
Unaware of anything, she couldn't remember anything about last night, only that she went back to her room and then seemed to fall asleep.
She had no idea when her sister returned.
Her heart, which had been filled with disbelief, grew tense and excited. She lay there, afraid to move, her chest heaving and her breath growing longer. His deep, affectionate gaze was fixed on her, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
Only now do I realize how distinct and nostalgic the sensation under the thin blanket truly is.
How long has it been since they slept together like this...?
Since she signed with the company last year, she has been so busy that she didn't even have time during the Chinese New Year. When she finally came back, she only stayed for half a day before leaving again.
They knew being a celebrity was busy, but they hadn't expected to be so busy that they had no free time at all.
However, for an actress in her rising career, being busy means she has many acting opportunities.
Having the opportunity to work with more directors and actors will lay a more solid foundation for the future.
The hardships they endured were unimaginable, and they might also suffer a lot of injustice, but Shu Xiangyu never mentioned any of this to them.
Yang Yufen felt that since the college entrance examination was finally over, she did not go upstairs to call Momo to get up and eat as usual.
I plan to let her catch up on her sleep these next few days; a little laziness now and then is fine.
Schimerlin had turned to face his sister, who was still fast asleep.
Compared to last year, she seems to have lost weight, and her features have become more defined.
She previously said it was for the sake of looking good on camera, but in private she looks so thin it's heartbreaking.
Yang's mother often complains that she hardly eats normally anymore, and eats all kinds of health supplements, vitamin pills, vegetables, eggs, shrimp, fish and beef rich in protein every day.
To achieve an even thinner figure, one can only rely on dieting and drinking water to stay alive.
The gentle and kind older sister she remembered seemed to have changed a lot, yet it also seemed like nothing had changed. She felt a vague sense of unease.
In his sleep, Shu Xiangyu suddenly hummed and moved his body, snuggling into her arms like a child, just like before.
Xi Molin's heart pounded, and as always, he stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
Maintaining an unusual, even ambiguous, posture, she remained frozen, afraid to move even slightly, lest she wake her.
Such moments were both precious and extremely torturous for her.
At times like these, the somewhat sordid thoughts that had always been hidden deep within her would be given a magical elixir, allowing them to grow wildly and unrestrained.
She couldn't stop it, so she could only let it develop, and after some time, she would cut it off herself and bury it deep in her heart. This cycle repeated itself time and time again, and she often felt like she was going crazy.
"It's so noisy..."
Suddenly, Shu Xiangyu shouted out two words with some impatience.
Schimerlin was startled and listened carefully to the sounds outside, but the surroundings were completely quiet.
Did you have a bad dream?
She patted her back reassuringly, which seemed to have an effect, and Shu Xiangyu stopped arguing.
Time passed slowly, and Schimerlin's arm, which had been pressed down, became numb, but he still maintained the original posture perfectly.
It wasn't until nearly noon that Yang Ma downstairs called out to her to come down for lunch, waking Shu Xiangyu from her deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the person so close to her, and a slightly hoarse, low voice rang out: "Good morning, Woody..."
Simelin silently withdrew her arm, a smile playing on her lips: "Sister, what time did you get back last night?"
Shu Xiangyu rolled over, stretched, and yawned: "I came back around 3 a.m. last night and found you lying drunk on the bed."
Xi Molin rubbed his arms and got up first, responding to Yang Ma's call.
When she got to the wardrobe and looked down, she realized she was wearing pajamas and no underwear...
Shu Xiangyu sat up and, seeing her dazed expression, couldn't help but smile slightly: "I changed your clothes and pants for you, but you didn't even change your shoes. What were you doing last night? You were so drunk..."
Xi Molin's fair face and ears immediately turned bright red with embarrassment. She didn't dare to turn her head to look at her, and just stammered, "Last night... I had dinner with some classmates, and everyone was in a good mood, so... we drank a little too much."
"Yeah, I understand. After all, everyone is relaxed and free after the college entrance exam."
As Shu Xiangyu spoke, he got up to go to the restroom. He paused as he passed her, glancing at her briefly and muttering to himself, "She really is a bit taller than me..."
Seeing her leave the room, Xi Molin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her calm mind was stirred up again by those words, revealing how poor her mental fortitude was.
After washing up and changing their clothes, the two went downstairs.
Yang Yufen didn't seem particularly surprised to see her daughter. She even prepared three dishes and a soup for lunch, all of which were her favorites, since it was rare for her to come back.
Shu Xiangyu felt something was off: "Mom, did you know I came back last night?"
Yang Yufen brought the last of the seaweed soup to the table: "Do you think I'm stupid? Your shoes were so obviously left in the entryway, how could I not know?"
"Yeah, hehe..."
Shu Xiangyu then realized what had happened and couldn't help but laugh at himself for being so stupid.
"How many days are you planning to rest after you come back this time?"
Schimerlin ate her meal slowly beside her, glancing at her sister, equally curious.
"I just finished filming all the scenes for the previous movie, and the next movie hasn't been decided yet, so I should be able to rest for a few days."
As Shu Xiangyu ate the food his mother had prepared, he didn't complain about the oil and salt, the high carbohydrate content, or the fear of gaining weight, as he usually did. Instead, he ate heartily.
This puzzled Yang Yufen.
However, she didn't say anything. It was already a luxury for her daughter to be able to eat a normal meal, and she was worried that her daughter wasn't eating enough.
Seeing that her sister had a good appetite, Shimmering was also happy, and today's food tasted especially delicious.
After dinner, Shu Xiangyu suggested going to the mall in the afternoon. Now that she was earning money, she could buy her family things she couldn't afford before.
Yang Yufen said frankly that she lacked nothing and told her to save her money and buy her own house in Beijing or Shanghai in the future.
As parents, they have limited income, but they can still provide some support when the time comes.
Shu Xiangyu naturally understood her considerations, but buying a house was still a long way off, and they weren't short of money right now.
Unable to dissuade her, Yang Yufen and Xi Molin had no choice but to go to the mall with her.
More and more large shopping malls are being built in the city, and a wide variety of shops are emerging, but the prices are so high that they are daunting for the average wage earner.
As a minor celebrity, her earning ability is beyond doubt.
Shu Xiangyu is adept at identifying the strength of brands. She knows which ones are of good quality but expensive, which ones are of average quality but also expensive, and which ones are of poor quality and she doesn't even consider them.
As a reward for Momo's successful college entrance examination, Shu Xiangyu planned to give her a new mobile phone and a laptop.
"Sister, the college entrance exam scores haven't come out yet. What if I did badly..."
Schimerlin was afraid of disappointing her.
"Don't worry, no matter how you do on the exam, I'll still get you a new phone and a new computer. You'll be preparing for college next semester anyway... Come on, let's compare prices and see the best one first..."
Shu Xiangyu generously led her to the boutique, with Yang Yufen following behind, feeling gratified that her daughter had considered her younger sister's needs.
After shopping until past six in the afternoon, the three of them sat wearily in a rest area in a corner of the mall, carrying large and small bags.
It felt even more tiring than working back home. Yang Yufen was wearing low-heeled sandals, and her feet were in excruciating pain.
Schimerling has always had low demands for material things, and he knows nothing about brands. He mostly follows behind Yang's mother and sister, helping to carry things.
She yawned countless times along the way, realizing that spending an entire afternoon shopping was definitely not something an ordinary person could endure…
Although Shu Xiangyu was tired, she was very satisfied. Perhaps this was the confidence she had after making money. She could buy whatever she wanted without any hesitation.
This time, she also bought a lot of things for her father and son. Compared to the requirements for women, the requirements for men were much simpler: as long as they could be used, that was fine, but of course, the quality had to be up to standard.
After having dinner out that evening, Yang Yufen drove them home, their car laden with their purchases.
The moment the three of us sat down on the sofa, a feeling of comfort spread throughout our bodies. We were so tired. We'll never be so silly again and spend the whole afternoon shopping.
Before going to sleep, as was her habit, Shimmerling slept on the inside of the bed. After her sister returned from the bathroom and the lights were turned off, the room was completely dark.
With a refreshing fragrance lingering in the air, Shu Xiangyu lay back on the bed, the wood under the mattress creaking slightly.
"Sister, can I come find you in Haishi after I fill out my college application...?"
Schimerling brought up something he'd mentioned before, wanting to confirm it again.
"Of course! When I finish filming and go home, I won't have to face an empty house alone. You can cook me some delicious meals, talk to me, and have a heart-to-heart chat..."
Shu Xiangyu had been eagerly anticipating her arrival.
"I'm thinking of finding a summer job to earn some living expenses and also to train myself."
"Okay, whatever you do, I'll support you..."
Xi Molin, however, had some ulterior motives. Working a summer job would allow her to stay in Haishi for an extended period. If she did nothing, she would feel embarrassed to stay at her sister's house indefinitely.
As the night deepened and her restless heart gradually succumbed to sleep, her hopes for the future became her new goal…
To everyone's surprise, Shu Xiangyu only stayed at home for two days before being called back by the company.
A well-known director saw her current drama and thought her acting skills were quite good. He also mentioned that there was a role in his new drama that would be suitable for her and wanted her to audition.
After saying goodbye to her family, she took a flight that night and returned to Haishi overnight.
The results of the college entrance examination were released at the end of June.
After checking their scores, some students achieved their goals while others were disappointed and defeated, but the outcome was already decided, and they could only accept it calmly.
As predicted, Xi Molin, Fang Tian, Qu Shiwei, and Heng Weiyang all scored well, exceeding the admission scores of their ideal universities.
As for Ding Meng and Zhang Jingwen, although their scores were a bit lower, they were good enough to get into a second-tier university.
After finishing the college application process, Schimerlin began packing his things, preparing to head to the place he had longed to visit.
