If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1125 - Chapter 1125 Chapter 1125 Two People Sleeping

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Two People Sleeping Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Two People Sleeping On the morning of the second day around four or five o’clock, Jin City was enveloped in a light drizzle that fell gently from the sky like strands of cow hair.

Shen Chi was not accustomed to the hotels here, having barely slept a wink the entire night. His head didn’t hurt, but his heart ached.

He woke up very early, alone, holding up an umbrella as he walked the streets of Jin City.

It had to be said, Jin City was a truly beautiful county town, with scenic beauty and fresh air.

C City bustled throughout the night, but by five in the morning, Jin City had yet to awaken from the light rain. The whole city was peaceful, compounded by the rainfall, with the sky overcast and gloomy.

The place where Shen Chi was staying wasn’t far from West Garden, and he could walk there.

He hardly ever walked anywhere when he traveled, but this time, strolling in the rain, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

He let go of all the group’s affairs and everything related to C City.

He finally understood why Chaomu chose to hide away here–it was indeed much more comfortable than C City. No pressure at all, but of course, no room for advancement either.

The scenery here was exquisite; walking along the road, one could see continuous mountains everywhere. Misty rain blurred the vision, and the mountains were shrouded in a green haze, with trees creating dark silhouettes.

Shen Chi carried a large black umbrella in one hand, his custom-made black leather shoes stepping on water droplets, steadily heading towards West Garden.

The rain made no sound on the umbrella, but soon the surface was wet.

With a gust of wind, the misty rain drifted onto his face, cool as mint.

It was still a bit cold in the morning, so he wore a dark blue casual suit. Though it was early, he still drew glances from passersby.

As he walked, Shen Chi admired the beauty of this place, no wonder she didn’t want to leave.

But how could she not understand, no matter how nice this place was, it wasn’t her home.

Did she really want to rent a house for a lifetime, raising Xiaobao on her own?

But that stubborn woman, she might actually think that way.

He only hated that he was too lenient to her when she was young. Had he been a bit stricter, her temperament wouldn’t be so stubborn now!

It was all his doing!

Shen Chi walking alone with the umbrella became a striking scene on the road, not many people were out, but those who saw him almost always gave him a few looks.

Shen Chi was used to it, he stopped by a breakfast stall that was already open near the housing complex and bought soy milk and steamed buns.

He couldn’t even remember the last time he bought these things himself. Shaking his head, he gave a wry smile.

The sky still held a bit of chaos and blurriness. When he reached the bottom of the building, he put away the umbrella.

The building was still very quiet, with no one around.

He went up the stairs and stood directly at Chaomu’s front door.

Without knocking or calling, he simply stood there quietly.

He knew that children woke up early and she wouldn’t be sleeping in.

Sure enough, after standing for less than fifteen minutes, he heard the sound of a baby’s cry from inside.

Chaomu was sleeping soundly when Xiaobao’s fussing woke her, her desire to cry bordering on tearless as she yawned, her eyes barely opening.

She hurriedly changed his diaper, fed him, then with her eyes still closed, coaxed him back to sleep.

Thankfully, although it was only a few days, she had already grown accustomed to it.

But ever since Xiaobao’s arrival, she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. She was either woken up at night or in the morning, or she stayed up until midnight trying to soothe him, and he still wouldn’t sleep.

“Xiaobao, Xiaobao, fall asleep quickly… it’s still early…” Chaomu cooed until she herself dozed off.

That’s when she heard a knocking sound outside the door!

“Knock, knock,” it wasn’t loud, but it was there!

Suddenly alert, her sleepiness vanished, she called out cautiously, “Who’s there?”

It was just past five in the morning, who would knock at the door so early? This had never happened before.

Shen Chi remained silent; he knew that if he spoke up, she would certainly not come to open the door.

“Who is there? I won’t open the door if you don’t answer,” Chaomu muttered, but still headed towards the door.

Shen Chi knocked again, and Xu Chaomu suddenly realized–could it be Shen Chi?

It was very likely, as this man always rose early in the morning.

Had he not left yet? Could he have been beaten up last night? Those old men who exercised every day were pretty tough…

But that didn’t seem right either, Shen Chi was a black belt in taekwondo, would he be afraid of them?

In her hesitation, she didn’t know whether to open the door or not.

Knock, knock, knock–the sound of knocking came again.

Shen Chi felt the warmth of the soy milk in his hand, if she didn’t open the door soon, it would get cold.

Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth and walked to the door.

She had nothing to fear from him, nothing to be afraid of…

The moment she opened the door, Shen Chi reacted quickly, bracing his hand against it.

Xu Chaomu was quick as well, and on seeing it was Shen Chi, she immediately tried to shut the door!

“Get out, get out!”

“Don’t move!” Shen Chi warned her, “Be careful not to wake Xiaobao!”

She wasn’t as strong as him, and soon, he had pushed the door open, stepped inside, closed the door, and handed her the breakfast he was holding.

“Eat it while it’s hot,” Shen Chi said.

Xu Chaomu didn’t even look, “I don’t want it. What are you doing here?”

“Bringing you breakfast.”

“Just leave it there, then get out.”

Shen Chi folded his arms and watched her silently, just observing her.

The place wasn’t big, but she had managed to keep it fairly tidy, though there was a pervasive smell of milk and that distinctive baby scent.

There were two bedrooms; he saw Xiaobao and her bed were in one room, and there was another bed in the second room.

Two beds here–had Xiao Mo slept here too?

Thinking that made him uneasy.

Xu Chaomu didn’t look at him. He was already here, so she couldn’t kick him out, she might as well just ignore him.

She turned around, walked back to her bedroom, and closed the door.

“Xu Chaomu!” Shen Chi frowned and called out after her.

Pathetic!

In the past, it was always him shutting her out of the door, and now, he was the one being shut out.

As soon as Xu Chaomu returned to her room, she felt tired and fell asleep on the bed, as if she’d just been sleepwalking.

Standing outside, Shen Chi glanced at her room with disdain and reluctantly tidied up a bit for her.

And by the way… he also tidied up the other bedroom’s bed.

The bed wasn’t that big, but it was more than enough for two people to sleep in.

While tidying, he came across a dog bed, and sure enough, Wealth, the little guy, was soundly asleep inside.

This rainy weather was perfect for sleeping, and Wealth was no exception.

Looks like his guess was right, Wealth must have been taken from the Shen family by Xiao Mo.

Only someone like Xiao Mo would do things without leaving any trace, cautious and meticulous.

But precisely because he left no trace, Shen Chi suspected Xiao Mo.

Perhaps smelling a familiar yet long-lost scent, Wealth suddenly woke up, and on opening his eyes, it was indeed Shen Chi.

Excited, the dog jumped out of its bed and started hopping around Shen Chi’s feet, especially cheerful.

Its little bell jingled “ding ding” around its neck, and from time to time, it stretched out its little paw to tug at Shen Chi’s pants.

“Arf, arf…” Wealth barked happily.
