If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1362: The Male God is Always the Male God

When the words left his mouth, it felt as though an invisible hand was clutching at his heart, tightening its grip incessantly.

Shen Di moved her lips, but didn’t speak, her gaze veiled with a misty and bewildered hue.

Wen Zhiyuan eventually left, his figure slowly vanishing under the sunlight.

It took a long while before Shen Di slowly turned her head, staring in the direction where Wen Zhiyuan had disappeared, somewhat dazed...

About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Chen and Zhou Ran came back.

Qin Chen had bought many of Shen Di’s favorite foods, and Zhou Ran said with a smile, "Qin Chen said you like candies and such, I told him not to buy them, but he insisted on doing so."

"Mom, I’m not a child anymore, eating too many sweets won’t cause cavities," Shen Di said with a laugh.

She thought about it; when had she developed a habit of eating sweets... probably when Wen Zhiyuan was still around her.

When she had to take bitter medicine and couldn’t avoid it, Wen Zhiyuan would buy her candy.

Later, Wen Zhiyuan found that the candies he made himself were even better, and he started making them during his free time.

He had made honey-flavored candies, also those with fruit juice flavors; whatever flavor she wanted to try, he nearly attempted them all. He also experimented with various shapes.

Late on, when Qin Chen came into her life, Qin Chen thought she had loved eating candies since childhood...

Candy is like honey, but sometimes it’s not necessarily sweet.

Qin Chen handed her a watermelon-flavored gummy, which she tossed into her mouth, the refreshing taste slowly spreading in her mouth.

She stood up and said with a smile, "Let’s go, let’s head upstairs."

She walked ahead, on the same path Wen Zhiyuan had just walked, but the scent of disinfectant was no longer in the wind.

...

After spending an entire afternoon accompanying Shen Cexian in the hospital, Shen Di and Qin Chen planned to head back to Shen Family.

As Shen Di was not feeling well, Qin Chen forbid her from wandering around anymore, and in the following days, he watched over her, not letting her leave the splendid world outside.

The weather gradually warmed, spring flowers blossomed profusely, and willows turned lush green.

In the distance, the mountain tops cradled greenery, shrouded in a layer of light blue mist, and beneath them, the water patterns were shallow; a breeze stirred, creating ripples upon them.

That day, the sky was laden with dark clouds; it was somewhat cold during the day, and towards the evening, a light rain began to drizzle from the sky.

Shen Di sat alone in her room, which still maintained its appearance from years ago, simple but with some cute decorations.

On the table were gifts prepared by Xu Chaomu, like little joyful bears, message bottles, greeting cards, etc. Though they were small, most were exquisitely cute, and she liked them very much.

Shen Di stayed alone in her room, sometimes gazing at these little trinkets on the table...

During her time in Australia, someone had also bought her these kinds of things.

He complained that the tone of her room was too somber, not befitting a young lady.

Later, he changed the wallpaper in her room to bright colors, and replaced the curtains with light blue ones...

She remembered initially arguing with him about it, but gradually, she also grew to like these sweet colors...

Seeing these vibrant greens and other colors truly lifted her spirits; but at this moment, her heart could not unfurl, as if weighed down by a massive stone.

The rain continued outside, and its pattering could be heard from inside the room.

She pushed open the window, and a few raindrops whisked in with the wind, touching her face and stirring her hair strands.

Rain always brought a deeper sense of melancholy; her gaze blurred as she watched the hazy nightscape outside, the lamplight and the halos created by the rain...

After standing there for a long time, she finally turned back to take out her violin.

Because of the rain, the Shen Family had finished dinner early, Xu Chaomu was sitting on the bed reading a book, while Shen Chi was sitting on the sofa working.

Xu Chaomu particularly liked such tranquil and cozy moments, sometimes after reading for a while, she would sneak glances at Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was very serious when he worked, from her angle she could perfectly see his handsome and profound facial profile, and his slightly pursed, sexy thin lips.

The male god is always a male god; time didn’t leave any traces on his face, instead, it added maturity and restraint to him.

Xu Chaomu felt that the best thing in her life was her good taste in men.

As she watched him, she even discarded her book and just quietly rested her chin on her hands, gazing at Shen Chi.

Just then, after sending an email, Shen Chi suddenly looked up and caught her glance.

"Daydreaming," Shen Chi curved the corners of his lips.

Xu Chaomu picked up the book again, "I wasn’t looking at you..."

Shen Chi smiled, didn’t argue with her, and continued to look down at his laptop.

The soft blue light from the computer added a stern and composed air to his face; Xu Chaomu, not satisfied just sneaking glances, blatantly stared at him.

While she was engrossed in looking at him, she heard the sound of a violin, along with the pattering sound of rain on the windows.

"Is big sister playing the violin?" Xu Chaomu asked with curiosity.

"Yes, her favorite piece," Shen Chi said.

"It’s my first time hearing big sister play the violin, it’s really beautiful," Xu Chaomu listened intently.

"Big sister has held concerts, could her playing be anything but beautiful? Unlike you, who can’t do anything," Shen Chi said.

"Damn, Shen Chi, nothing nice ever comes out of your mouth!" Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth.

Shen Chi curved the corners of his lips again and continued to work.

Xu Chaomu started to seriously listen to Shen Di’s violin playing, which was truly beautiful, melodious and flowing, yet within that fluid melody was also a touch of melancholy, as if it were conveying heartfelt emotions.

The sound of the violin mixed with the pitter-patter of the rain, and as Xu Chaomu listened, she began feeling somewhat emotional.

Memories began to filter through her mind like a movie...

She wasn’t a sentimental person, but she subconsciously thought of a line of poetry: How much hatred does the west wind bear, unable to scatter the curve of your brows...

She rested her chin on her hands and slowly her eyelids drooped, and a thin layer of moisture formed on her long eyelashes.

"What’s the matter?" Shen Chi had approached her at some point, gently stroking her head with his big hand.

Xu Chaomu raised her head and glanced at Shen Chi, gently resting it on his chest.

"Is big sister troubled by something?" Xu Chaomu asked softly.

"Perhaps."

"Shen Chi, don’t you want to talk to your sister? After all, you are siblings, she would certainly tell you if something is on her mind."

"Sometimes she’s like me, if she doesn’t want to say something, she absolutely won’t speak," Shen Chi said.

"Nothing is absolutely absolute. Is there something you don’t want to talk about?"

"Don’t worry about it; thinking too much isn’t good for the baby," Shen Chi said.

"Oh..." Xu Chaomu nodded, "Are you going to sleep now? Have you finished your work?"

"Yes, let’s sleep," Shen Chi climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around Xu Chaomu’s waist.

I remember in the past I used to drink with a bunch of friends at night, but ever since I brought Xu Chaomu home, I haven’t had any nightlife, and I rarely even visit Ji Shengxuan’s club anymore.
