As Ximerlin returned to her sister's residence, memories of the past resurfaced in her mind. After all, she had been injured again, and in order to cover up her embarrassment, she began to try to find topics to talk about.

"Sis, I thought you'd already gone off to film a movie after all this time..."

Shu Xiangyu took off her hat and mask, and while tying her hair up, went to the room to find her a change of clothes: "It's still early. For the past two months, we've been focusing on training the martial arts moves we need, including archery, swordsmanship, and spear fighting."

"Won't bringing me back interfere with training?"

"No, I don't have many training tasks. I practice so that I can learn more."

Sitting in his wheelchair, Schimerin fell into deep thought once again.

Shu Xiangyu came out of the room, took the clothes, and prepared to push her to the bathroom to wash up.

"Sis, I'm all grown up now, I can wash myself."

Shu Xiangyu disagreed with her: "Your instructor said that your feet cannot get wet. Today, just wipe your body with a wet towel first. You can just sit there obediently."

"Sis, I'm... I'm eighteen years old this year, and I can still move my hands, can't you let me wipe it myself...?"

Schimerlin felt incredibly shy and embarrassed just thinking about how he, a grown man, would have to strip naked in front of her.

Since the wheelchair couldn't get into the bathroom, Shu Xiangyu had to bring a stool over and then tried to carry her in: "What part of your body haven't I seen? What's wrong? You've not only gotten older, but you've also gotten more temperamental."

Xi Molin quickly stood up, using the handrail for support, and Shu Xiangyu reached out to catch her, saying, "What are you panicking for? What if you fall?"

"I... I'll try to stand up and see if my foot still hurts."

Shu Xiangyu carefully helped her sit on the stool.

Does it hurt?

"It's alright, it doesn't hurt much when I put my heels on the ground."

Schimerlin sat on the stool, looking at his feet wrapped up like a dumpling.

"Wash your hair first, then dry your body."

"Sis, do I look silly with my short haircut?"

Schimerling sat up straight, looked at himself in the mirror, and looked completely silly.

"I think it looks great, fresh and cute, and even a little bit handsome. I'll trim it for you later..."

Shu Xiangyu turned on the bathroom heater and began washing her hair.

It felt like going back to the first time she washed her hair, except that from initial shyness to getting used to it, there were still some changes in feelings.

After quickly washing my hair, I dried it quite a bit with a towel; short hair has its advantages too.

Then she was asked to take off her clothes herself, but Schimerlin hesitated for a long time.

"Are you trying to do what you did last time? Do you still want this military training uniform?"

Faced with her sister's threat, she had no choice but to give up struggling and began to take off her training uniform, until she was left with only a military green underwear.

Seeing that she was hesitant to take off her pants, Shu Xiangyu had no choice but to do it herself. Just as she reached out to her, Xi Molin grabbed her pants and said nervously and stammered, "I... I can do it myself."

Shu Xiangyu filled the basin with hot water and placed a clean towel inside.

"Wood, what are you shy about? We're both girls, and we used to bathe together all the time. What haven't we seen? Why are you getting more and more timid as you get older?"

She really didn't understand what she was thinking.

Xi Molin pulled her pants down to her calves, but because she couldn't get any strength, Shu Xiangyu helped her take them off.

Finally, she reluctantly took off her underwear.

As she gently and tenderly wiped his body, Ximerlin's already chaotic thoughts became even more disordered.

She may never know that the reason she was shy in front of her was because, although they were both girls, she didn't really see her as an older sister...

Moreover, she had other thoughts in her mind, so she gradually couldn't accept being with her like this.

"I haven't been able to contact you for the past month. Did the school take your phone away?"

Schimerlin explained, "Yes, they will all be collected. The school does not allow the use of any electronic devices during military training. In the future, during regular classes, you can only retrieve your phone at specific times."

"This should be a regulation that the Armed Police Academy or military academy have. You can't use your mobile phone every day in the army. In the past, if I wanted to contact my dad, I would almost always call his camp first. Later, when mobile phones became more common, I was able to contact him directly sometimes."

Shu Xiangyu was familiar with these rules.

"Did you make any good friends at school?"

"Yes, there are only four girls in our class. We live in the same dormitory and help each other during military training. We have a great friendship."

"That's great. You're both classmates and comrades-in-arms, so your bond will definitely be much stronger..."

Shu Xiangyu chatted with her softly, and when he wiped her palm, he noticed many small scratches and calluses on her palms, which meant that military training must have been very tough.

She looked down at Momo's youthful face, which had already undergone changes with growth, and her skin was much darker than the day she was sent to register.

In the future, she will spend more time at school or in the military camp, while I will be traveling to various places to film. The time we spend together will become less and less. Thinking of this, I feel reluctant to part with her.

As Xi Molin felt her sister's gentle caress, a slight flutter rose in her heart, and her somewhat deep voice rang out in the quiet atmosphere: "Sister, when you're filming, do you ever fall for those male actors?"

Shu Xiangyu looked up and met her gaze, his eyes shifting from calm to a faint smile: "Right now, my main task is to film well, and the company has told me that it's best not to have any romantic relationships in the next few years. I'm not interested in those seemingly handsome male actors either; many of them have terrible character. Those good qualities they have online are all fabricated and can't be trusted."

When Schimerlin heard her idea, he was immediately overjoyed.

She often thought that if her sister fell for one of those handsome male celebrities, her already slim hopes would become even more distant.

"And you? Have you met any male classmates you like at school?"

Shu Xiangyu's smile deepened.

"School rules forbid students from dating, and I don't like those kinds of people anyway..."

As Schimerlin explained, he couldn't help but feel down.

"It's okay. You must have many outstanding male classmates around you. You can take your time to find one."

Suddenly, Shimmering grabbed her hand and pulled her close. She looked up at her intently and told her firmly, "I've said it before, I won't like anyone. Don't expect me to date anyone else..."

Shu Xiangyu was puzzled by her actions. After a moment of surprise, she smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I won't say these things again."

When she finished speaking and tried to pull her hand away, she found that it was still tightly clenched.

"Sister, I have someone I like in my heart."

Schimerling's heart pounded like a drum, making her already flushed face turn even redder, along with her ears and neck.

When Shu Xiangyu met her burning and deep eyes, she could see herself reflected in them.

She was not ignorant about love, but something seemed to have struck her heart. Beyond the palpitation, she felt even more shocked and incredulous.

She must be mistaken, and she's being too sensitive. It's definitely not what she thinks.

"Then...who is the person you love?"

Schimerling saw avoidance in her eyes, and she knew she couldn't reveal her hopes at this moment.

She had no choice but to give up this opportunity; if she really spoke up, she might never talk to her again.

She lowered her head, released her hand, and whispered, "I'll tell you later..."

Shu Xiangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had indeed been overthinking things.

"It's okay, it's normal for young people to have someone they like..."

She smiled and continued wiping her back.

Where she couldn't see, Shimmerling pinched her thigh hard; only the intense pain could temporarily distract her from the pain in her heart.

She could no longer let her overflowing emotions control her feelings and make her sister uncomfortable.

If she were to find out, and she couldn't accept it, how could they possibly continue to interact normally? The only option would be to continue hiding that forbidden love...

After wiping him down and changing into clean clothes, Shu Xiangyu helped Xi Molin back to his room to rest.

It feels so good to lie down.

Schimerling was exhausted, and the sticky feeling on her body made her feel much better.

After she fell into a deep sleep, Shu Xiangyu prepared to go out and buy some things to bring back, as he needed to make sure she got enough nutrition over the next few days.
