If You Could Hear My Heart

Yu Weiwei’s secret was, before taking the biology exam, she would first read a bit of “Little Forbidden Book,” and then… her interest would skyrocket.

Xu Chaomu secretly tried it out and took out an encyclopedia of health knowledge tucked between her biology books.

The scale of current health books sure is bold, oh my, Xu Chaomu’s face turned red after looking at it for a while.

Thump, thump, her heart wouldn’t stop pounding.

They didn’t even clothe the men and women in the illustrations, it was quite embarrassing to look at.

Xu Chaomu sneakily peeked, covering her mouth and snickering.

Just as she couldn’t stop laughing, “clang,” the door opened.

It turned out to be Shen Chi, and Xu Chaomu hurriedly hid the book in the drawer.

But as she looked up, she saw an explosive scene.

Damn it, Shen Chi only wrapped a towel around his lower half as he entered!

His wheat-colored skin still had droplets of water on it, but what attracted Xu Chaomu more was his strong physique, perfect abs, and irresistible V-line. Muscular and powerful, exceptionally charming.

Xu Chaomu felt her blood surging, she was close to getting a nosebleed.

She even forgot to stuff the health book back into the desk, holding it in her trembling, excited little hands.

Her gaze slid down from his neck, further down, and even further down…

Her big eyes rolled, and she swallowed her saliva with lust.

Dammit, just when her gaze reached his waist, the towel appeared!

She had nearly seen him all…

After eight years, she finally had the chance to appreciate the sight of him without clothes.

But why, oh why only half! The heavens were still so unfair to her!

Unconcerned, the man closed the door and came over, “The faucet in my bathroom broke, so I can only borrow yours.”

“Oh, okay,” Xu Chaomu responded absentmindedly, still eyeing his towel.

Alas, the towel was too thick, she couldn’t make out anything, not even an outline…

Swallowing her saliva, her blood raced through her veins.

Shen Chi, watching her stare, slowly approached, picked up the health book in her hand, “Oh? Studying the human anatomy, are we?”

Only then did Xu Chaomu snap back to reality, reaching out to snatch it back, “Give me the book.”

“The stuff in the books is too theoretical, nothing good to research, want me to be the model for you to study? Hmm?”

His warm breath brushed her ear, and Xu Chaomu’s face flushed, too excited to speak.

No, no, no, she couldn’t be so lecherous. This man was married, and she had to control herself.

She had already done something wrong by kissing him forcefully before, and now she couldn’t make another mistake by stripping off his clothes. Otherwise, knowing his character, he would surely strip her in return.

However, something didn’t seem right!

Xu Chaomu slapped her forehead. Way before, when she was kidnapped that rainy night, he had personally changed her clothes, seeing everything that shouldn’t be seen.

No, even before that, when she was taking a bath, he suddenly rushed in, and he saw all of her.

Thinking it over carefully, it was horrifying.

“Get lost, I’m not interested in you,” Xu Chaomu said vehemently, although her words didn’t match her feelings.

In fact, she quite wanted to rip his towel off.

Endure, endure, endure, you must not be tempted by beauty.

“Really don’t want to look? Then forget it, I’m going to take a shower. Of course, you’re allowed to sneak a peek,” he shamelessly said.

“Get lost!” Xu Chaomu grabbed the book from his hand and gave him a glare.

Shen Chi didn’t tease her anymore and turned around to enter the bathroom in Xu Chaomu’s room.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Xu Chaomu was reading the adult-rated health book while listening to the water in the bathroom, her little heart thumping non-stop.

Should she sneak a peek?

No, no, no, she couldn’t sneak a peek. What if he caught her, she’d have to pay back tenfold.

But she really wanted to look, what to do?

No, no, no, hold back, she must bear it even if it killed her!

So, when Shen Chi came out, Xu Chaomu was acting as if she had suffered a great ordeal, as if she had endured a lot.

The health book in her hand was even upside down, who knew what was going on in her mind.

“Wake up, it’s time to check the homework!” Shen Chi poked her face.

Xu Chaomu jolted, sitting straight, “Oh. Are you done washing? If you’re done, go back to your room.”

Shen Chi wouldn’t budge, he sat beside her, wrapping his arm around her waist, “Let’s see, check if there are any questions that you did wrong.”

As soon as he got close to her, she could smell the fragrance of his shower gel. Light and refreshing, very pleasing.

Just as Shen Chi was helping Xu Chaomu check her homework, a woman arrived at the gateway to the Shen Family villa.

It was Mo Shuifu.

She looked anxious, holding what appeared to be a stack of documents, alas, she had no way to enter the villa.

She called out a few times, but no one paid attention to her. She lingered outside the villa for a long time but still did not encounter anyone.

The urgency on her face became clearer under the moonlight, and she was almost in tears.

With no other option, she had to leave, retracing her steps back.

The Shen Family, such an opulent and noble place, was not meant for her. She should not have come to trouble Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi.

She walked back step by step, her hand holding the documents shaking continuously, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Her mother had just had surgery for a sudden intracranial hemorrhage.

The surgery was expensive, and the money in the bank card given to her by Shen Shihan had all been spent.

She could not ask Shen Shihan for more money, nor did she want to borrow from him again.

She had thought of Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu; Shen Chi being Xu Chaomu’s fourth brother, and Mo Shuifu being Xu Chaomu’s friend…

Xu Chaomu would help her, wouldn’t she…

But after walking all the way here without anyone paying attention to her, she realized that the Shen Family was not a place where she should be.

She should not trouble Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu.

Clutching the expense list and the surgery report, Mo Shuifu walked back, having gone through the trouble of finding this place without even taking a taxi to save money.

If she couldn’t pay the hospital fees, the doctors wouldn’t be able to perform the next minor surgeries on her mother.

With every day’s delay, her mother would suffer.

As she continued walking along the road, suddenly, a beam of light shone on her face.

A car abruptly braked with a screech.

She hastily covered her eyes, afraid to be hit by the glare.

Shen Shihan stomped on the brakes and jumped out of the car.

“Mo Shuifu, don’t you know the traffic rules? Who walks in the middle of the road like that?”

His eyes were red, and he scolded her heatedly.

Does she not value her life? Hmm, she didn’t get to decide that, not without his consent! It was his intervention that saved her life!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Shen, I wasn’t paying attention.”

Mo Shuifu’s hands trembled, and the documents along with the papers fell to the ground.

She didn’t know when she had ended up in the middle of the road…

She squatted down, teeth clenched, picking up the papers one by one under the light.

As Shen Shihan looked down, he saw the top charge slip.

The amount due was one hundred and fifty-six thousand exactly.

Suddenly he leaned down, catching her hand, locking eyes with her, “Need money again?”
