If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1373: Xiaobao’s Daddy, You Are So Amazing

Xia Chuqing moved her lips and finally blurted out, "Or...you could give me a piggyback ride..."

After saying it, she felt so pretentious that she wanted to strangle herself.

Not daring to look at Xiao Mo’s face, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Saying something like this to a man she had only met a few times and wasn’t really familiar with was truly...awkward.

Without waiting for Xiao Mo’s response, she patted his shoulder and giggled, "Just kidding, just kidding. I’m not that fussy."

"Hmm...I don’t think you’re that fussy either," Xiao Mo replied.

Xia Chuqing’s heart sank bit by bit. Did she really come across as such a tomboy? Not really, right? Maybe Xiao Mo treated her a bit better because she was Chaomu’s friend, but did he really just see her as one of the guys?

She scratched her arm. Was she really that bad?

Along the way, neither spoke again. Xiao Mo appeared nonchalant, with hardly a change in his expression, whereas Xia Chuqing was feeling uneasy.

Occasionally, they ran into some acquaintances on their way, but no one made a big deal about it. They all thought Xia Chuqing was accompanying someone from Shen’s, since she often did this kind of reception work before.

When they arrived at the campus infirmary, the doctor treated Xia Chuqing’s scrape briefly.

The injury was nothing much to Xia Chuqing, but when she looked up at Xiao Mo, he wasn’t looking at her.

He had his hands in his trouser pockets, composed and unfazed, showing no particular emotion.

He was surveying C University through the window. This place was vibrant with youth, starkly different from the workplace. The students’ faces still carried a hint of immaturity, even though some were juniors or seniors.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Xiao Mo’s lips curled into a slight smile.

He couldn’t remember how long it had been since he left the campus. Today was his first time giving a lecture at a university. If it hadn’t been for Shen Chi pressuring him, he wouldn’t have come.

Xia Chuqing sat while the doctor treated her wound, but she turned her head to look at Xiao Mo.

A soft light cast upon his face added a touch of warmth to his deep facial features, and the way he curled his lips was particularly handsome, capturing her gaze in a sort of enchantment.

"Are you watching a beautiful girl?" Xia Chuqing suddenly asked.

Xiao Mo came back to his senses and glanced at her: "There are indeed many beauties in your school."

"If you like, I can introduce you to a pretty one someday. They love mature guys like you," Xia Chuqing said disgruntledly, emphasizing the words "mature guy" sharply.

It was the first time Xiao Mo had been called a mature guy, and especially by a college student.

It hadn’t been many years since he left campus, and now he was already a mature guy?

Xia Chuqing thought he was seriously looking at something outside the window, but he was actually looking at a beautiful girl.

All men are lascivious...

Plus, in this season, neither cold nor hot, many beautiful girls wore stockings, which is said to be very appealing to men, right?

"The pretty ones usually have big egos," Xiao Mo said, glancing at Xia Chuqing with a teasing smile.

"Then I’ll find you one who’s not only beautiful but also doesn’t have a big ego. I’m the president of the student council after all; I have some influence," Xia Chuqing said sourly.

"Alright," the school doctor stood up. "Just be careful when taking a shower, and apply the ointment on time."

Xia Chuqing stood up: "Okay, thank you, doctor."

Without waiting for Xiao Mo to reply, Xia Chuqing grabbed her bag and headed out of the infirmary, not fond of the smell of disinfectant.

"Xiao Mo, I’m leaving."

Standing outside, Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but turn her head to say goodbye to him.

She headed off right after greeting him, ignoring the wound on her foot and walking briskly away.

"Hmm." Xiao Mo’s gaze was slightly stern, "Take care of yourself."

Xia Chuqing really wanted to turn around and say something to him, but seeing his indifferent attitude, she felt that it was she who was too sentimental.

With that thought, she bit her lip and, leaning on the wall, left.

Upon returning to the dorm, she buried herself in the quilt, not uttering a word, and didn’t eat anything.

It turned out that Xiao Mo only considered her a friend and had no inappropriate thoughts about her; it was she who had let her imagination run wild.

In Xiao Mo’s eyes, she probably wasn’t anything special. Her strengths were his strengths too, like speaking fluent English and being able to effortlessly plan any event.

Others saw her as outstanding, but not in the eyes of Xiao Mo. freēwēbnovel.com

What he probably wanted was a girl who was dependent on him, who would act coquettishly with him, who would drag him out shopping...

At least, that’s what she believed in her heart.

Thank goodness she hadn’t confessed her feelings. Otherwise, it would probably be even more awkward to meet him in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuqing felt upset and uncomfortable, buried in her quilt, feeling a little sad.

Her dorm mates called out to her several times, but she didn’t respond, simply saying faintly, "I’m so tired, let me sleep for a while."

She turned off her phone and even skipped the afternoon activities, just lying silently on the bed.

Xiao Mo watched Xia Chuqing walk back to the dorm. The pale daylight shone on her blue jeans and white T-shirt, and as he watched her receding figure, his eyes narrowed slightly.

On both Saturday and Sunday, no one mentioned the matter; it was as if a dragonfly skimmed across the water, without even causing a ripple.

But when Xu Chaomu called Xia Chuqing on Saturday, Xia Chuqing didn’t pick up, which took her by surprise. Had they really ended their friendship?

After making several calls without a response, Xu Chaomu muttered, "Strange."

Shen Chi had gone out to take care of some business in the morning and didn’t return until noon. Seeing Xu Chaomu still lounging in bed, he asked indifferently, "Didn’t have breakfast?"

"Skipping it just for one day won’t hurt," Xu Chaomu laughed.

"Who told you that?" Shen Chi furrowed his brows, glancing at her bulging belly.

"Alright, alright, don’t be angry. I’ll get up now," Xu Chaomu said.

"How can you be so lazy?" Shen Chi looked down on her but his eyes were filled with indulgence, "I went out and made a deal already."

"Xiaobao’s daddy, you are so amazing," Xu Chaomu said as she grabbed her clothes and crawled over barefoot, hugging Shen Chi’s neck and giving him a kiss.

"..." Shen Chi’s mouth twitched.

Xu Chaomu quickly dressed, brushed her teeth, and washed her face while Shen Chi sat on the bed watching her.

"When is big sister coming back?" Xu Chaomu asked him.

Shen Di and Qin Chen had gone back to their hometown and had been away for quite a few days. She missed her.

"In two or three days," Shen Chi said.

"Are you going to handle the engagement party?"

"Yeah." Shen Chi replied, "My dad’s health isn’t good, he obviously can’t take the lead, so I’ll have to handle everything."

"That’s good," Xu Chaomu said with a smile, "It’ll make arranging the wedding even easier in the future."

Shen Chi squinted and smiled, he especially liked this authentic Xu Chaomu.

"By the way, Chuqing has been ignoring my calls," Xu Chaomu said.
