If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 697 - : I Hold You in My Heart

Chapter 697: Chapter 697: I Hold You in My Heart

When she ran back, Shen Chi had also awakened. He squinted his eyes towards her as if she were the most beautiful scenery in the world.

His gaze never left her. As she turned her head, she met his fervent eyes.

“What are you looking at me for, is there something weird on my face?” Xu Chaomu smiled.

“Just checking if I’m in your eyes,” Shen Chi smiled.

“I keep you in my heart,” Xu Chaomu blinked.

“I do the same with you.”

Xu Chaomu immediately got goosebumps all over. Weren’t they flirting early in the morning? Was that appropriate?

“You still have a fever, don’t talk,” Xu Chaomu scolded him.

“You’re yelling at me?” Shen Chi looked at her, innocence in his eyes.

“Yeah, what are you gonna do, hit me?” Xu Chaomu said, practically asking for trouble.

Shen Chi’s lips curled up, the arc deepening more and more.

Xu Chaomu ran over, sat by his side, and rested her head on his shoulder. Though she said nothing, her heart was constantly praying, Shen Chi, you have to be alright.

The two snuggled together. Xu Chaomu held him tightly, afraid that if she let go, she would lose him.

His body was still burning hot, and his wounds needed treating. However, the rescue team still hadn’t arrived.

Xu Chaomu was starving too, her little one in the belly kicking in protest.

With strong kicks to her stomach, she covered her abdomen with her hands as beads of sweat ticked down from her forehead.

“Mumu, what’s wrong?”

Shen Chi felt her anxiety and opened his eyes, just in time to see sweat forming on her nose.

“It’s nothing, the baby is kicking me,” Xu Chaomu said helplessly, shaking her head, but her face was sweet.

“Wait till he’s born, and I’ll kick him,” said Shen Chi.

Xu Chaomu laughed with a snort, “Is that how you’re going to be a dad?”

“A few kicks will teach a boy to remember,” said Shen Chi.

“Were you kicked when you were young?” Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes.

“Of course not, you’ve forgotten who I am, Shen Chi, so outstanding,” He boasted.

“Do you have no shame…” Xu Chaomu poked his arm, “my baby won’t be kicked by you, you’re not spoiling him, I will.”

Shen Chi laughed again; looking at her face, he tightened his hold on her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

“Mumu, Xiao Mo and the others will be here soon, hang in there,” Shen Chi comforted her.

“I’m fine, what about you?” Xu Chaomu wrapped her arms around his waist.

“I’m fine too.”

Xu Chaomu knew he was just trying to ease her worries, the way he fooled her. How could he be fine with a persistently high fever and his body still burning up?

But Shen Chi’s foresight was good.

In the afternoon, Xu Chaomu heard several loud bangs.

She quickly ran out of the cave, only to see a large rescue team arriving!

She ran towards them joyfully, and among the people leading the way, she saw Xiao Mo.

She waved at them, and someone in the team saw her and blew a whistle.

Xu Chaomu immediately turned back, calling out excitedly as she went, “Fourth Brother, Xiao Mo and the others are here…”

But no one responded; not even a eyelid twitch from Shen Chi.

“Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother…” Xu Chaomu panicked and quickly moved forward.

Shen Chi was unresponsive, sitting quietly on the ground.

His face was still very pale, especially around his lips, devoid of their usual color, his whole complexion as pale as paper.

Xu Chaomu was terrified; her nose tingled, and she quickly walked to his side, shaking his arm.

“Shen Chi, don’t scare me, wake up, please wake up, you’re scaring me. We promised to go back together, to hold on…”

Tears “plop plop” fell down, landing on the back of her hand and also on Shen Chi’s face.

However, no matter how she shook him, he was unresponsive.

Xu Chaomu hugged his neck and lay on his chest, pinching his face.

“Shen Chi, wake up, please talk to me, Xiao Mo and the others have arrived, they’re just below, don’t sleep…”

Shen Chi’s mind was a mess, and in his grogginess, it felt as if everything was blank.

But, he heard a noisy voice beside his ear, incessant and loud.

He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt heavy, utterly resistant, and he wanted to just sleep like this…

But the voice beside his ear was too noisy, shouting his name over and over.

“Shen Chi, Shen Chi, if you don’t wake up, I’ll leave you…”

His throat felt choked up and he wanted to say nothing, but the relentless noise was getting louder.

He finally weakly responded, “You wouldn’t dare.”

Xu Chaomu abruptly stopped crying, shaking his arm even harder, “You’re awake? Then get up and talk to me; don’t sleep, I’m scared.”

She was truly scared; Shen Chi was motionless and not responding to her, she was terrified.

“Just hold on a little longer, okay? Xiao Mo and the others are right below, almost here.”

“Hmm,” Shen Chi responded again.

Xu Chaomu lifted her hand, wiped away the tears, and finally revealed a faint smile.

“You have to be all right,” Xu Chaomu hugged him.

The rescue team from below struggled mightily and finally cleared the way up the mountain. The rain had been too heavy, and there were several near encounters with landslides.

Stones kept falling from the mountain as they tirelessly pressed on with the rescue, finally reaching the summit.

Xiao Mo was anxious; he had no idea what the situation was up on the mountain, only that there had been a severe explosion.

The blast was so powerful that the whole mountain seemed to shake.

He had always been stationed at the foot of the mountain, and as soon as the explosion occurred, he immediately sent people up for rescue.

Just now, he saw Xu Chaomu waving at him. So, what about President Shen? Was he alright?

“Hurry up, everyone,” Xiao Mo urged the crowd.

He was really afraid something bad had happened. President Shen had to be safe.

The mud slowed the rescue efforts; everywhere was damp and mucky, but thankfully, the sun had come out today, otherwise, the situation would have been unimaginable.

Luckily, the path was almost clear.

Xiao Mo was anxious but had no choice but to keep looking up the mountain.

Since Xu Chaomu had gone back in, he hadn’t seen her again and didn’t know what the situation was or why he couldn’t see President Shen.

A bad premonition slid through his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Finally, after the relentless efforts of all the rescuers, the path was opened.

But by then, it was already six o’clock in the evening.

The sky still had a hint of light as the stars came out, the clouds were faint, and the dusk curtain was slowly drawn.

The mountain was chilly, especially at night, with gusts of wind bringing bone-chilling cold.

“Secretary Xiao, it’s clear!” the rescue team leader shouted excitedly.

“Hurry up there,” Xiao Mo said with furrowed brows.

“Okay.”

One by one, the people started to move along the cleared mountain path.
