If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 985 - Chapter 985 Chapter 985 New Years Eve Reunion Night

Chapter 985: Chapter 985 New Year’s Eve, Reunion Night Chapter 985: Chapter 985 New Year’s Eve, Reunion Night At least, with his current understanding, it wasn’t like that.

At least, when he picked up Shen Chi to take him home, Shen Chi was always murmuring Xu Chaomu’s name.

If it weren’t for a love deep in his bones, if it weren’t for a love to the point of madness, how could he be so unable to forget…

After dropping off Shen Chi, he went home.

The weather in C City this season was very cold and dry. Especially late at night, everywhere was deserted, without a hint of liveliness, such desolation made one’s heart gradually cool as well.

On his way back, Xiao Mo received a text message, which to his surprise, was from Xu Chaomu.

Hearing her tone earlier in the evening, she seemed indifferent, as if she could let everything go, but now, she still hadn’t fallen asleep, had she?

At a red light, he stopped the car and opened the message.

“Xiao Mo, if you’re free tomorrow, come to Jin City. I have something to tell you,” Xu Chaomu said.

Xiao Mo furrowed his brow, something to tell him?

He replied with one word: Okay.

When the red light turned to green, Xiao Mo pressed the accelerator and drove home.

Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and although he didn’t need to go home for the holiday, he thought of Xu Chaomu being alone in Jin City and went to the mall to buy her some gifts.

Choosing and choosing, he didn’t know what to give a girl, so he simply bought some food. Biscuits, milk, fruit… he got her a bit of everything, which would save her quite a bit of money.

He went after eating lunch, having made a special trip to Shen Family in the morning.

Both of them, about the same age as him, still needed his care, and Xiao Mo found that childish.

When he arrived at Shen Family, the butler said Shen Chi hadn’t woken up from a night of heavy drinking, so Xiao Mo left helplessly.

After lunch, he took the gifts and headed to Jin City.

Xu Chaomu was at home trying to hang couplets, a challenging task for one person, especially for the high spots she simply couldn’t reach.

Reach she must though, stretching her hand, reaching!

There, one more “Fu ” finally in place, Xu Chaomu clapped her hands happily, satisfied with her work.

She still had several “Fu ” characters and couplets in her hand, which she and Chuqing had bought on the street.

Today was New Year’s Eve, and the neighborhood was starting to get lively.

Being an old community, many of the residents’ sons and daughters had returned from other places, and just then, Xu Chaomu saw many unfamiliar faces.

Looking down from the fifth floor, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Wang – everyone had smiles on their faces.

New Year’s Eve, a night of reunion.

Xu Chaomu actually missed her Wealthy a bit. If she left, would an unhappy Shen Chi kick him?

He certainly would, with that bad temper of his, would he find Wealthy pleasing to the eye?

Thinking this, she planned to ask Xiao Mo to take the opportunity to bring Wealthy out of Shen Family.

Especially now, as she saw many dogs downstairs, she missed her Wealthy even more. Having Wealthy would make things better.

As she thought, she pouted and hopped down from the stool.

Just as she was about to climb higher to stick a “Fu ” on the window, there was a knock on the door.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

“Coming!” Xu Chaomu ran over.

She could now tell who it was by the knock on the door alone; it certainly wasn’t Xia Chuqing, so it could only be Xiao Mo.

Indeed, when she opened the door, Xiao Mo was standing there with several bags in his hands.

Xu Chaomu said with a smile, “Come in.”

“Your attitude has changed,” Xiao Mo said with a laugh as well.

Last time he came, she had almost kicked him out with her hands and feet, her face looking unpleasant.

“That’s right, we’re on the same side now, friends.”

“So what you’re saying is that we weren’t friends before.”

“No, no, no, now it’s like forming an alliance, which means our friendship has become even stronger,” Xu Chaomu said.

“You sure have a lot of funny logic,” Xiao Mo said with a laugh, shaking his head.

“You brought so many things with you, are they all for me?” Xu Chaomu asked, “How could I accept that?”

“You don’t want them? If you don’t, I’ll just take them back. I drove here, anyway.”

“No, no, no, thank you, Xiao Mo,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile as she accepted the things, “I really appreciate it, thank you. But… if you could help me put up this ‘blessing’ character over there, I’d be even more grateful.”

After she said that, Xu Chaomu stuffed a ‘blessing’ character into Xiao Mo’s hands.

Xiao Mo looked at it and realized it was quite high up, a bit of a challenge for Xu Chaomu.

But he was tall, and after stepping onto a stool, he easily reached and stuck the ‘blessing’ character in place.

“I came to be manual labor,” Xiao Mo said.

“You’ve worked hard,” Xu Chaomu replied as she poured him a cup of tea.

“Spill it, what do you need me for?” Xiao Mo got to the point.

“No one will be with me on New Year’s Eve, so I thought, since you’re the only person I know in Jin City, I’d have you join me,” Xu Chaomu said, “I’ve bought hot pot ingredients and sauces; how about having hot pot tonight?”

Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu to invite him for dinner a second time.

He never really hoped for the chance to dine with her, but today, on this special day, she had invited him.

New Year’s Eve was a night for family reunions, and it was indeed a surprise to him.

“You don’t like hot pot? Hmm, the flavor is a bit strong, but it’s really delicious,” Xu Chaomu said.

“No, hot pot is fine,” Xiao Mo replied.

“Great, then you can wash the vegetables,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

“What about you?”

“I can play,” Xu Chaomu said with a mischievous smile, “Besides, the hot pot is going to be hard to clean, and the dishes and chopsticks will be tough to wash too…”

Xiao Mo instantly understood and chuckled, shaking his head, “Alright, alright, I’ll do the washing.”

Xiao Mo took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and began sorting through the vegetables she had bought.

“You see, I had a purpose in calling you over,” Xu Chaomu said.

“You and Shen Chi, neither of you are good people,” Xiao Mo teased.

“Don’t compare me with him.”

Xiao Mo smiled and didn’t say anything; he continued picking vegetables while listening to Xu Chaomu talk.

“Xiao Mo, if you get a chance, see if you can bring Wealth over for me,” Xu Chaomu said.

“You’re asking me to steal a dog?”

“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched, “It’s originally my dog, how can it be called stealing.”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“Are you that cowardly? Actually, it’s quite simple. Isn’t there someone who gets drunk? When he’s drunk, doesn’t he ask you to take him home? After you drop him off, find an opportunity to sneakily carry Wealth away, and wouldn’t that settle it?”

“Don’t you know that the Shen family’s place is surrounded by surveillance cameras?”

“Then find a chance to take Wealth out for a walk, and while you’re at it, oops, it got lost!”

“…” Xiao Mo was starting to ignore Xu Chaomu.

“Just do me this favor; I really miss it.”

“Today you’re missing Wealth, and you want me to steal him over, if one day you miss Shen Chi, are you going to ask me to steal him over too?” Xiao Mo said with a laugh.

“…” Xu Chaomu’s face fell.

“Okay, I’ll find a chance to help you out and see if I can bring it over,” Xiao Mo said, “By the way, didn’t you have something you wanted to tell me?”
