If You Could Hear My Heart

Xiao Mo quickly drove to West Suburb, where the scenery was vast, with mountains and water, creating a very pleasant environment.

Once inside the courtyard of Waterside Pavilion, there were rockeries, flowing water, and waterfalls, with mist rising and steam lingering. All around, only the sound of water and birdsong could be heard, peaceful and elegant.

Since Xu Chaomu had gone to board at school, Shen Chi had been spending more time here.

After getting out of the car, Shen Chi walked into Waterside Pavilion.

Xiao Mo did not follow, but watched Shen Chi leave before driving off himself.

It didn’t take long for Xu Chaomu to also be dropped off at school by Old Cheng, her little fits of temper came quickly and dissipated just as fast.

As long as she didn’t see that bastard Shen Chi, everything was fine!

The adoption relationship had ended, why wouldn’t they let her move out of the Shen Family home?

Could he be more domineering?!

Just as she was dragging her feet into the classroom, Yu Weiwei’s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over to hug her.

“Chaomu… where have you been? I’ve missed you so much, I was really afraid something happened to you.”

“Don’t I look fine? Look at me, I can hop and jump around. Here, let your sister tell you a joke.”

“I don’t want to hear a joke, you tell me where you went?” Yu Weiwei’s eyes welled up, asking anxiously.

“You really don’t need to ask, I didn’t go far, just suddenly didn’t feel like going to school.”

“Tell me, why did you suddenly run away from home? After you left the bar that day, did that scum do anything inappropriate to you?”

“Weiwei, come here, I’ll tell you a secret.”

Xu Chaomu beckoned Yu Weiwei over with an air of mystery.

Yu Weiwei leaned in, and Xu Chaomu whispered in her ear, “You mustn’t tell anyone, but my fourth brother, he’s no good.”

“Ah?” Yu Weiwei looked disappointed, “Really? What a waste of that face, that body, that promising youth.”

“You needn’t worry about that, he’s got plenty of money. Even if he’s no good, plenty of young girls still want to marry him.”

“Oh, like you.”

“Spit, why would I want a man who’s no good?”

“Then, who was crying like a dog at the bar that day?”

“It was you.”

Yu Weiwei rolled her eyes.

Just then, someone knocked on the window, Xu Chaomu and Yu Weiwei looked up together and saw it was Li Beiting.

Xu Chaomu immediately lowered her head, knowing Li Beiting didn’t like her.

She was also aware that Li Beiting was looking out for Shen Chi’s interests, after all, she, Xu Chaomu, was not good enough for Shen Chi.

“Weiwei, come out.” Li Beiting gestured to Yu Weiwei.

Yu Weiwei stuck her tongue out at Xu Chaomu and quickly walked out.

“Second uncle, what do you need?”

“How can you wear so little today? Put this jacket on, they say it’s going to get colder tonight.”

Without waiting for a response, Li Beiting draped the jacket he brought over Yu Weiwei.

“Oh, thanks, second uncle.” Yu Weiwei made a face.

“Hmm. Have you been causing trouble lately?”

“Nope, I’ve been good. I just advanced from the eighth from the bottom to the ninth, and I think I can get to the tenth from the bottom in the midterms in half a month.”

Li Beiting’s mouth twitched, “Is that all the ambition you have?”

“Why don’t you praise me? I’m clearly making progress every day.”

“This thing, shouldn’t you explain it?”

Li Beiting pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Yu Weiwei’s eyelids twitched; how did that thing end up in Li Beiting’s hands.

She flashed him a smile and reached out to snatch it: “Second uncle, don’t look at that, it was just for fun.”

“Don’t treat me like a fool.” Li Beiting said coldly, “Go and change this application. As a girl, why filled out for a male specialty? I won’t allow it!”

“Second uncle, really, it was just for fun. Give me the application form.” Yu Weiwei reached out to grab it.

But no matter how she tried, she couldn’t outmatch Li Beiting, who clenched the application form tightly, unwilling to relent.

“I said, go change it!” His face was cold, not leaving any room for argument.

“I won’t change it!” Yu Weiwei’s temper flared up as well, “Why do you care so much, wasn’t it just for fun? Besides, why can’t a girl apply for a male specialty? That is gender discrimination!”

“Don’t argue with me, go change it now!” Li Beiting yanked her arm, pulling her towards the administrative office.

“Li Beiting, we’re not related by blood, why do you meddle so much? I call you ‘second uncle’ to give you face, if I didn’t, I’d just call you Li, Big, Jerk!” Yu Weiwei said each word distinctly, very angrily.

Applying for a male specialty was her grand ambition!

Li Beiting didn’t listen to her nonsense and without further ado, dragged her to the administrative office.

At the office, he threw the form on the desk: “Change her option!”

The teacher put on glasses, took a look, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Yu’s ambition is noble and unique, just like Xu Chaomu, only the two of them dare to apply for it.”

Li Beiting’s brow furrowed; Xu Chaomu had applied too?

Clearly, the two were in cahoots.

“Mr. Li, what should I change it to?”

Yu Weiwei immediately shouted, “Don’t you dare change it, keep it that way! Teacher Wang, don’t listen to him, choosing a university major is my own business.”

The teacher shook his head with a helpless expression.

“Change it to Chinese, it’s better for a girl to study literature.” Li Beiting didn’t care about Yu Weiwei’s shouting.

“Fine, I can do that.” Teacher Wang pushed up his glasses and started making changes on the computer at the administrative office.

“I refuse, I don’t like Chinese, I like male science! Li Beiting, if you ever have a problem in the future, at least I could treat you for free!”

Li Beiting was immediately embarrassed; what was wrong with him!

The girl said this without blushing or batting an eye.

The administrative office teacher chuckled even more.

“Also, change Xu Chaomu’s as well.” Li Beiting said.

“To Chinese too?”

“Yes.”

“Fine.”

“Li Beiting, if you dare to change it, we are done for good, pretend I never knew you!” Yu Weiwei raged.

“It’s fine if I know you.” Li Beiting didn’t bother with her.

If he was scared of her, he wouldn’t be called Li Beiting.

Teacher Wang quickly made the changes on the computer, printed two new applications, and showed them to Li Beiting.

Li Beiting was finally satisfied and sternly told Teacher Wang: “In the future, if they fill in anything nonsensical, report it to me.”

“All right, Mr. Li.”

“Li Beiting, this is interference, I’m going to sue you!” Yu Weiwei was furious.

“Go ahead and sue, right now.” Li Beiting glanced at her dismissively and turned to leave.

“Li Beiting! You turtle bastard! You’re destroying my dream! I will never tolerate you!”

Yu Weiwei cursed as she walked, and in a fit, she took off the jacket from her body and threw it at Li Beiting.

“Take your jacket, and don’t ever see me again. You’re as disgusting as a fly, I wish I could squash you!”

The coat landed squarely on Li Beiting’s face, but he wasn’t annoyed; he caught the jacket and watched her coldly.
