If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1350: Grateful to Have Met You

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chaomu still shook his arm and asked, "Was that Shui Fu?"

"Yeah, she wants my third brother to come back to the country," Shen Chi said.

During this time, he had people constantly checking on Shen Shihan’s condition, but the news he received was always unsatisfactory. Nearly a month had passed, and there was still no sign of him waking up.

"That’s good." Xu Chaomu felt a bit saddened, "At least if he’s in the country, I can look after Shui Fu a little. She doesn’t have many friends and she’s pregnant now. If I visit her often, it might lift her spirits."

Shen Chi gently patted the back of her hand, "Don’t be sad."

"By the way, why was Shui Fu there that night?" asked Xu Chaomu.

"She has been looking for my third brother. Later, she found out he was in California, but she never knew his exact whereabouts," Shen Chi explained, "That night, she came with the police and accidentally learned from the police station about the collusion between Shen Shihan and Jack."

"I see."

"Yeah."

"Do you think my third brother knows that Shui Fu is pregnant?"

Shen Chi shook his head, "If your third brother doesn’t wake up, this will forever remain a mystery..."

"My third brother will definitely wake up, he must," Xu Chaomu held Shen Chi’s arm, very distressed.

Shen Chi couldn’t answer her; he could only say he would try his best.

"Shen Chi... let’s go see Chenglang this afternoon..." Xu Chaomu’s eyes were misty.

"Are you feeling a bit better? If not, I’m afraid to take you there," Shen Chi looked at her.

"Chenglang once told me something, ’If the heart faces the sun, there is no reason for sadness,’" Xu Chaomu said faintly, "I promised him I would actively live each day. I think he wouldn’t want to see me upset."

"That’s good then, I’ll accompany you this afternoon."

"Taking a day off to be with me today, did it delay your work again?"

"It’s fine, there’s Xiao Mo. He’s unmarried with no girlfriend, I can just leave the work to him."

"That’s no way to torture a single guy," Xu Chaomu laughed, "Is he feeling better now?"

"He’s completely fine now."

"That’s good, you should give him a raise," Xu Chaomu said.

"Yeah... Now that you mentioned it, it would be hard to refuse a raise."

"I’ll visit the company one of these days. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there; I want to see if the company is doing better and if this President is slacking off."

Shen Chi laughed and pinched her face.

Xiaobao, playing puzzles silently on the carpet, glanced at them, feeling very contemptuous. Why are these two always sticking together, they are adults after all...

After lunch, Shen Chi took Xu Chaomu to the cemetery in the West Suburb.

The place was picturesque, and with spring arriving, some areas had beautiful blossoms. From a distance, it didn’t look like a cemetery.

Nie Chenglang’s grave was in a very quiet area, surrounded by willows and green pines. The sunlight slanted onto the gravestone, and it was so quiet that only boundless tranquility could be heard.

They agreed not to be sad, but standing in front of the tombstone, Xu Chaomu couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.

"Chenglang... it’s Chaomu... I’ve come to see you..." Xu Chaomu squatted down.

The only response was the vast tranquility, with clouds hanging low in the sky, as if time itself had stopped.

"Chenglang... I only came to see you today, do you blame me... I didn’t bring Xiaobao today, I know you always wanted to see him... Last time at the cafe, he still loves the toy you bought him... Do you know, you look so warm when you smile... I’ve always wanted to tell you, I really like your smile..."

Xu Chaomu looked at the tombstone, her eyes red and vacant, gazes hollow and lifeless.

Her soul seemed as if it had drifted away. Xu Chaomu stared at the tombstone, her sobs echoing lowly in the air.

"The last time we spoke on the phone, we were so happy. Why did you leave me without a word... I miss you so much..." Xu Chaomu choked up, "You were so kind to me, and didn’t even give me a chance to repay you. I’m annoying, but I still want to annoy you..."

Shen Chi also crouched down, holding Xu Chaomu’s shoulders, wiping away her tears.

"Chenglang..." Xu Chaomu called out again, but no one responded to her.

Memories always drift gently back to the first time they met, at the orphanage where she grew up, spending the most beautiful time with Nie Chenglang.

Actually, every day she spent with him was beautiful, filled with sunlight and warmth.

However, he would never come back...

The afternoon breeze, like a gentle hand, softly brushed Xu Chaomu’s face, drying her tears.

Xu Chaomu leaned against the tombstone, her gaze quietly staring into the distance...

Shen Chi was always beside Xu Chaomu, his deep eyes looking toward the headstone, remembering the promise he made to Nie Chenglang.

Xu Chaomu was reluctant to leave, sitting in front of the tombstone when she got tired of crying. Just like many past nights when she was troubled, he would just sit with her.

Now, she was also sitting with him.

Soon, the sun slowly moved to the west, slowly setting behind the hills.

Red twilight covered the graveyard, casting a shallow layer of orange everywhere, radiantly cheerful, the best season indeed, but the graveyard was quiet and secluded.

The remnants of the sunset scattered on Xu Chaomu’s hair and clothes, softening her complexion.

Shen Chi draped his jacket over her, pulling her into his embrace.

The evening breeze gently began, softly lifting Xu Chaomu’s hair, she squinted lightly.

"Mumu, it’s getting windy, let’s go home." Shen Chi looked down at Xu Chaomu in his arms.

Xu Chaomu’s gaze remained on the tombstone, her hand gently touching Nie Chenglang’s name.

After a long while, she nodded slightly.

"Chenglang, I’ll come to see you again next time." Xu Chaomu said.

She looked reluctantly, Nie Chenglang’s smiling face always surfacing in her mind, all still so real.

She and Shen Chi left the graveyard, walking down the hill.

"Husband, thank you for coming with me." Xu Chaomu said.

"It’s what I should do."

"Husband, I’m really fortunate to have met you..." Xu Chaomu linked arms with him, smiling faintly.

"Really? Sincerely?" Shen Chi raised an eyebrow, "Then tell me, what about me do you like?"

"Stop it!" Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, ignoring him.

He was good in every way, changed his bad temper for her, bowed down to her, even ready to confront the whole world for her, for her, he gave all his tenderness...

The way down the hill wasn’t long, and soon, they reached the foot of the hill.

As they walked towards the car, Xu Chaomu tip-toed and, while Shen Chi wasn’t paying attention, kissed his cheek.

Under the sunset, Shen Chi’s lips curled into a smile, his face full of tenderness and happiness.

The next second, he scooped her up and walked towards the car.
