If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 695 - : The baby’s name is decided
Chapter 695: Chapter 695: The baby’s name is decided
The chicken wings were indeed effective; Xu Chaomu could only look at him with her big, limpid eyes.
So, Shen Chi continued, “If you want me to cook, I can.”
Xu Chaomu couldn’t speak, so she just silently watched him.
“You have to give something in return, understand?” said Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu stayed quiet and kept looking at him, quietly waiting for what he would say next.
“For example, give me a kiss, or have a bun with me,” Shen Chi suggested.
Xu Chaomu knew that these were the only things on his mind. She took off a chicken wing, took a bite, and remained silent in defiance.
“In other words, whatever I want to do, you need to go along with it,” Shen Chi continued.
Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes at him, “Oh, then I won’t eat.”
It’s just a meal, after all; it doesn’t really matter who makes it. Although, eating what he makes does warm her heart.
“You!” Shen Chi was at a loss for words, his mouth twitching.
Xu Chaomu was enjoying her meal, but she knew she couldn’t eat too much of the barbecue. When she had eaten enough, she fed Shen Chi a piece of chicken.
“I’m feeding you, want some?” Xu Chaomu asked with a smile.
“No,” Shen Chi frowned, looking disgusted.
“If you don’t want it, then forget it. I’m not often this kind-hearted.” After speaking, Xu Chaomu prepared to eat it herself.
However, before she could bring it to her mouth, Shen Chi grabbed her hand and bit off the piece of chicken she was holding.
Xu Chaomu huffed, wasn’t it that he didn’t want it? A proud man, indeed, stubborn to boot.
She sat beside him, suddenly feeling that these moments were precious.
She was quite spineless; just the other day, Shen Chi had sternly scolded her.
Thinking about that, she still felt imbalance in her heart. She turned her head to look at him.
Shen Chi was selecting wild chickens from the rack, the firelight casting a soft glow on his face, making it look much gentler.
“Shen Chi, you scolded me the other day, and I still feel wronged, what should I do about that?”
“Then you can scold me,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Xu Chaomu pulled a long face, knowing she could never do that; that’s essentially the difference between her and Shen Chi.
“You’re not allowed to scold me anymore,” Xu Chaomu said, aggrieved.
“It depends on the situation.”
What does that mean, ‘it depends on the situation’… Xu Chaomu’s face was full of frustration.
…
That day, she just sat there and chatted with Shen Chi; by evening, the rain hadn’t stopped and was pouring heavily. The patter of the rain could be heard everywhere as it hit the ground.
On the mountain, it was particularly quiet since all the sounds from outside could be heard.
Only half of the plump wild chicken was left; Shen Chi hadn’t eaten much of it, and most was consumed by her.
In the cave, branches burned, and luckily, there were some dry branches at the entrance; otherwise, they would have been without fire by now.
“Shen Chi… what if we can’t get out?” Xu Chaomu rested her chin on her hands as she watched the heavy rain at the cave’s entrance.
“We will.”
“The rain is so heavy, it must be hard for them to come up. We’re out of food.”
“Isn’t this it?” Shen Chi gestured at the wild chicken, speaking lightly.
“That’s not enough, you didn’t eat. Were you saving it for me?” Xu Chaomu asked.
“No, I just couldn’t eat any more,” Shen Chi said, closing his eyes.
Listening to Shen Chi’s voice, sounding weak, she suddenly put her hand on his forehead to feel; ah, it was so hot.
Immediately she became worried: “You have a fever again. Tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Shen Chi grabbed her hand, “It’s nothing, don’t worry.”
Xu Chaomu was nearly frantic, quickly soaking a towel in water just as she had done the day before, to cool him down.
“You can’t let anything happen to you, you haven’t even thought of a name for our baby yet,” Xu Chaomu said, anxious.
“I’ve thought of one,” a shallow smile appeared on Shen Chi’s lips.
“Hmm?”
“If it’s a boy, we’ll call him Ugly, and if it’s a girl, we’ll call her Beauty, okay?”
“What the heck, that’s the name you came up with? You’re such an irresponsible father,” Xu Chaomu complained, exasperated.
Shen Chi’s lips were pale and dry, but seeing her so earnest, he smiled and reached out to stroke her head.
He pulled her into his arms with a firm tug and held her tight.
Because of the injury and fever, his knuckles were pale. Xu Chaomu’s tears were welling up as soon as she saw them.
“Shen Chi, you have to promise to get down the mountain with me safely,” Xu Chaomu clutched his collar.
“Hmm.”
Xu Chaomu huddled in his arms, quietly listening to his steady heartbeat.
“So, did you actually think of a name for the baby?” Xu Chaomu asked again.
Her hand caressed her belly, snuggling closer into his embrace.
The thought of being together as a family of three was wonderful, only, Shen Chi was feverish.
“If it’s a boy, we’ll call him Shen Yun, and if it’s a girl, we’ll call her Shen Ling, okay?”
His lips curled up in a smile; in truth, he had thought of these names quite some time ago.
When Xu Chaomu heard this, she thought for a moment, then a sweet smile spread across her face, and she nodded, “Okay.”
This time, she didn’t argue with him or insist that the child take her surname.
She lay in his embrace, lifting her small face, and even complimented him, “Having an education really makes a difference. I was thinking of naming them Shen Chaomu or Shen Mumu, haha.”
“You’re quite cultured too,” Shen Chi said, the corner of his mouth twitching.
“So guess, is it a boy or a girl?” Xu Chaomu stroked her belly.
“A boy.”
“Why?” Xu Chaomu immediately felt unhappy, “Don’t you like girls?”
“No reason, your various reactions imply that it’s indeed a boy.”
“I’m upset,” Xu Chaomu looked down.
“Don’t be upset, when we get back, I’ll try hard to have a daughter,” Shen Chi said.
“Shameless,” Xu Chaomu muttered, looking down.
Time slowly passed in the quiet of the cave, still no sounds from below the mountain.
After about half an hour, the heavy rain finally stopped, leaving only the sound of a massive waterfall.
“Shen Chi, do you care whose child this is?” Xu Chaomu asked again.
Last time when he had fought with Nie Chenglang in the infirmary, all his actions indicated that he cared a lot about this “non-biological” child.
“I don’t care.”
“You obviously do care.”
“I really don’t, but I do care if you’ve been flirting with other men.”
“Shen Chi, when we get back… should we have a paternity test?”
“No need,” Shen Chi said, closing his eyes, speaking indifferently.

It was clear the child couldn’t be his; there was no need for a paternity test that could harm Xu Chaomu’s health.
“You just…”
“Tell me, who is the man you care about the most?” Shen Chi cut her off.
“Uh…” Xu Chaomu broke into a sweat at his blunt question.
She touched her belly, deliberately saying, “My baby.”
“His name is Male Infant!” Shen Chi snapped.
“Male Infant will grow up to be a man too, don’t underestimate him; maybe he’ll be handsomer than you,” she teased.
“Fine, and then what?” Shen Chi endured.
“Let me think…”
“Does this kind of thing require thought?” Shen Chi burst out.
