Jin'an Wetland is located in the suburbs, and many people usually go there to exercise, take walks, or cycle. However, at noon, when the temperature is high, there are almost no pedestrians.

Schimerling arrived first. She took a picture of the wetland sign and sent it to Sister Yu so that she would know where she was.

Shu Xiangyu's van was parked on the roadside not far away, and her every move could be clearly seen.

"MoMo is really persistent; she's waiting for people under the scorching sun in this heat..."

As a bystander, Ni Qing diligently pressed her face against the car window, keeping a close eye on what was happening over there.

Shu Xiangyu sat calmly and composedly in her seat, her hands clasped together and her legs elegantly crossed. Although she closed her eyes to rest, something inside her seemed to want to burst out. She tried her best to suppress it and refused to allow herself to lose her composure in any way.

After waiting for more than half an hour in a slightly shaded area, Mei Xiaofei finally arrived with Yu Qingtong in his car.

As soon as the car stopped, Yu Qingtong eagerly opened the door and got out.

At the same time, Schimerlin also saw her.

Ni Qing turned to Xiang Yu and reminded him that Yu Qingtong had arrived.

Shu Xiangyu opened his eyes at the right moment and witnessed everything that was happening over there.

When Yu Qingtong saw Mo Lin, she almost ran over, called out to her, and then reached out and hugged her tightly.

"Sister Yu, you..."

Ximerlin was taken aback by her initiative.

"Merlin, I'm sorry, please help me... Mei Xiaofei is still watching over there, I'll explain to you later."

Yu Qingtong whispered in her ear, while outwardly maintaining an appearance of deep affection.

Schimerlin knew things weren't that simple.

She didn't refuse; she cooperated and hugged her tightly in return.

Mei Xiaofei sat in the car watching the two of them being all lovey-dovey, feeling like she was about to break the steering wheel from her grip.

Ni Qing and Lao Tu were equally shocked; it seemed they were serious.

Watching that scene, Shu Xiangyu's teeth seemed to have been ground down several times, and there was a bottomless coldness in his eyes.

She sneered, feeling ridiculous that she had followed them here to witness their heartfelt confession. It had really broadened her horizons.

"Let's turn around and leave..."

She didn't want to watch any longer, and since she had made her choice, she would respect it.

Old Tu didn't dare to delay, quickly started the car, turned around, and left.

Yu Qingtong then led Merlin away, ignoring Mei Xiaofei, and walked around the wetland in another direction, explaining to her why she did this.

Mei Xiaofei was almost driven mad with jealousy as she watched them disappear into the dense forest trail, but she could no longer let her bad emotions run rampant.

She needs to re-examine their problems and is determined to win her back…

Yu Qingtong did not hide her relationship with Mei Xiaofei, even though it was a painful past.

Only then did Xi Molin understand the love-hate entanglement between them. She really thought Sister Yu liked her. Fortunately, it was just an act. It almost scared her to death.

"Merlin, I'm sorry to involve you in our affairs. I really... can't find a better candidate."

Yu Qingtong felt extremely guilty.

“I understand, it’s okay, anyway, it doesn’t cost me anything.”

Xi Molin smiled and comforted her, saying that she didn't plan to tell her that her sister and Ni Qing knew about it, so as not to make her anxious.

"Then you can be my girlfriend for a while. Let me make it clear beforehand that I will never take advantage of you, and I will never fall in love with you."

"I know you still like Mei Xiaofei, it's just that you can't be with her..."

Hearing her teasing herself, Yu Qingtong smiled as well, and then sighed.

"I used to deceive myself, and my hesitation only led to trouble. Now I've realized it."

Schimerlin's smile deepened: "Wake up... Do you want to become a nun in the future?"

"Maybe."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Neither of them went home that night, fearing that Mei Xiaofei would notice something was wrong, so they found a nice hotel and booked a double room.

We ordered a lot of takeout, drank beer, and continued our lively conversation about life.

It was past seven in the morning when Yu Qingtong was still asleep. Xi Molin got up and rushed home to pick up his packed luggage and return to school.

Unfortunately, it was rush hour and the roads were congested again.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, she recalled everything that had happened yesterday, as if it were a chaotic dream.

I wonder if my sister is home. I stayed out last night, so she probably won't mind, considering how unpleasant things ended between us at the barbecue restaurant.

She finally arrived, opened the door and went inside, feeling anxious and worried that her sister was also there.

Fortunately, no one was in the living room, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

When she arrived at the bedroom door, which was ajar, her relaxed heart instantly tensed up again. She gently pushed the door open and saw Shu Xiangyu lying on the bed with his back to her, covered by a thin blanket.

She stood there, gazing at that serene figure, and once again felt as if she were in a dream.

His eyes held an unusual complexity and apology.

If he hadn't confessed to her back then, and if Sister Yu hadn't happened, wouldn't she have been able to stay by her side openly, instead of having to face her so secretly? Unfortunately, there's no going back.

After pondering for a long time, she still didn't wake her sleeping sister. She quietly went into the bedroom, carefully opened the wardrobe door, and took out her suitcase. Even with such caution, she still made some noise.

Fortunately, the person in bed was not disturbed.

She held her breath, raised her suitcase, and prepared to leave.

"wood…"

Shu Xiangyu's low, hoarse voice instantly shattered Xi Molin's last hope.

She stopped with her back to her.

A soft rustling sound came from the bedding. Shu Xiangyu sat down on the edge of the bed, her face somewhat haggard and pale. She stared at her thin back with a somber expression.

"You've decided to be with Yu Qingtong..."

Suppressing the pain in his heart, Xi Molin slowly turned around and met her gaze.

She feigned composure and replied calmly, "We're still getting to know each other..."

Do you like her?

Shu Xiangyu no longer beat around the bush.

"Like liking you?"

Schimerlin gave a wry smile: "We haven't reached that point yet, but it wouldn't hurt to give it a try..."

"Have you made up your mind?"

Shu Xiangyu's voice became even lower as he suppressed the pent-up emotions that had accumulated throughout the night.

"Yeah, I've thought about it."

Schimerlin's voice was soft yet firm.

"it is good…"

She suddenly smiled, her eyes revealing a chilling coldness, and stood up to stare at her.

“From now on, I will no longer interfere in your affairs with her. No matter how things go between you, you must never let Mom and Dad know.”

The words, like sharp arrows, pierced Schimerlin's heart, causing her excruciating pain.

"I will…"

She lowered her head and avoided eye contact, afraid that she would see the reluctance in her eyes and the love that had not yet faded.

Since we can't be in love, it's better to let her continue to misunderstand. At least it will ease her burden and make her less worried about whether I will continue to love her.

"I...I'm going back to school now."

Schimerling turned to leave.

“Wait a minute… the lease for this apartment expires next month. You’ve gone back to school, and I won’t be back much, so we won’t be renewing the lease. You can just go back to Qizhou during your holidays.”

Shu Xiangyu's calm voice was devoid of warmth.

"Yeah, I remember."

Schimerlin dragged his suitcase and left the place dejectedly.

After all that has happened, even if she renews her lease, she has no reason to come back here.
