If You Could Hear My Heart

Xu Chaomu was suffering from a terrible toothache after school, and she wasn’t sure if it was because she caught a cold. To make matters worse, there was evening self-study that night, so she had no choice but to endure the pain and read.

By nine o’clock in the evening, self-study finally ended, but Xu Chaomu still had to do cleaning duty.

It was like misfortunes never come singly. Watching as all her classmates left one by one, she was left to continue sweeping the floor with a broom and wiping the blackboard with the eraser.

The surroundings were pitch-dark and completely silent, Yu Weiwei had been picked up by Li Beiting to go home, leaving her alone to silently endure the toothache while on duty.

The broom hitting the floor made a “swoosh” sound. The floor was really dirty; those boys would throw trash on the ground after eating.

Just as she finished sweeping and was about to close the windows, suddenly, the classroom door was kicked open.

A burst of cold air rushed in, and Xu Chaomu looked towards the door.

The girl leading the group was Yao Yue!

It was said she had been chasing after Lou Yanli for a long time.

Following her were several delinquents with tattooed bodies and cigarettes hanging from their lips, acting tough and unruly.

“Are you Xu Chaomu?” Yao Yue walked over.

Xu Chaomu glanced at her. She was dressed very skimpily, and her hair was dyed yellow. No wonder Lou Yanli didn’t like her. Rumor had it that Yao Yue came from a wealthy and powerful family and never took anyone seriously. She had to have whatever she wanted.

“I’m not, who are you?” Xu Chaomu gave her a disdainful look.

She was considered a small-time hooligan herself, not afraid of anyone!

But, they had more people.

“Kun Ge, go ahead, beat her to death for me, see if she dares to flirt with my man again!” Yao Yue stood aside with her arms crossed.

Xu Chaomu’s tooth still ached, which really affected her fighting back.

“Miss, there are levels to being disabled. So, with this girl, are we making her a first-grade disability or…” one of the delinquents said disdainfully.

“What’s all this talk for a fight? Just beat her to death, get it?” Yao Yue yelled.

“Yao Yue, look at what you’ve become, do you still expect Lou Yanli to like you?” Xu Chaomu said coolly.

Hisss—her tooth really hurt, even speaking was painful.

“What are you waiting for, hit her, hit her hard!” Yao Yue was furious.

Ever since she was a child, she got whatever she wanted, and everyone bowed down to her. She liked Lou Yanli, so he had to like her back!

Where did Xu Chaomu come from? Yao Yue had to beat her until her head was split open to show her might!

A few delinquents blocked the doorway, and one of them rushed towards Xu Chaomu, aiming a punch at her!

Xu Chaomu dodged to the left and swung a chair from the floor at them.

Bang bang clang clang, the classroom was suddenly filled with chaos.

Xu Chaomu regretted not learning Taekwondo when Shen Chi had asked her to

as a child.

The few delinquents had been in plenty of fights, and one of them reached out to grab Xu Chaomu’s arm!

No matter how quick Xu Chaomu was, she couldn’t jump out of the way, and her arm was seized!

“Stop fighting!” Lou Yanli appeared at the doorway out of nowhere, pushing aside Yao Yue and rushing towards Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu was pushed to the ground by one of the delinquents, scraping off a patch of skin, and her blood flowed without stopping.

Her tooth hurt, her arm hurt…

Hisss—

Xu Chaomu took in a sharp breath of cold air.

Just as the delinquent was about to hit Xu Chaomu again, Lou Yanli blocked in front, taking a vicious kick from the delinquent!

“Stop, stop!” Yao Yue saw Lou Yanli.

“Lou Yanli, when did you get here? Does it hurt?” Xu Chaomu was a bit flustered as she helped Lou Yanli up.

“It’s okay, I’m okay, what about you? Why are you bleeding? Did they hurt you?” Yanli went to examine Chaomu’s wounds.

Yao Yue was grinding her teeth with rage beside them, daring to show off their affection right in front of her?

“Miss, what should we do?” a young man asked Yao Yue.

“Pull the guy away and continue to beat them up for me! I’m determined to make her leave horizontally today!” Yao Yue was not convinced, no, she was getting angrier and angrier, furious!

“Who do you want to leave horizontally?”

Just as Yao Yue finished speaking, a tall figure appeared at the doorway.

The man had a powerful aura, with sharp eyes that scanned the room.

Good, he spotted Xu Chaomu in the corner; the girl glanced at him and then lowered her head to care for Lou Yanli.

“And who are you? But I don’t care who you are, I’ll take on anyone who shows up!” Yao Yue pointed at Shen Chi.

The young men also prepared for a fight, they had the numbers, who would be afraid?

Shen Chi let out a cold chuckle and said softly to his driver, Lao Cheng, “One, two, three, four, five, a total of five. Whether to beat them to death or not, you decide.”

Lao Cheng nodded: “Yes, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Chi walked in, and the young men even held knives. One of them lunged with a knife!

Before the blade could touch Shen Chi, Lao Cheng’s large palm grabbed the young man’s wrist and delivered a punch right to his chest!

Ding—

The knife fell to the ground, bouncing a few times, and the young man screamed in pain.

As Shen Chi walked toward Xu Chaomu, Yanli covered Chaomu’s eyes: “Don’t look…”

Chaomu obediently closed her eyes, making Shen Chi pause his steps.

Crrack, snap—the sounds of violence erupted at the entrance. Lao Cheng, who had retired from the military and was handpicked by the Shen Family, was of course very skilled.

Although the young men had the numbers, they were no match for Lao Cheng. Before long, they were beaten black and blue.

Yao Yue stood trembling by the doorway; she couldn’t fight and had only boasted with her lips.

Now, seeing her people beaten up like this by a middle-aged man, the situation was surely turning against them!

“Let’s go! We’ll settle the score another time! Xu Chaomu, you little bitch, how dare you seduce my man, you fucking wait!” Yao Yue was extremely vicious, her mouth still unrelenting.

Just as she was about to walk out, Shen Chi spoke in a deep voice, his face cold as he looked toward Lao Cheng: “For what she just said, beat her to death!”

“Yes, Mr. Shen.”

Chaomu, realizing that Shen Chi had arrived, felt fearless. For many years, as long as she saw him, she was afraid of nothing.

At that thought, her heart still ached.

If Shen Chi were to leave her one day, what should she do…

He couldn’t possibly stand by her side forever…

“Chaomu, does it hurt a lot?” Yanli took out a tissue to wipe the blood off her arm.

“Why haven’t you left so late?” asked Chaomu.

“I was on duty tonight. I happened to pass by your classroom and saw you being bullied,” Yanli said.

He looked down and carefully wiped the wound for Chaomu; it was quite serious, with a large patch of skin scraped off.

“Hiss, it hurts…” Chaomu bit her lip.

Her teeth hurt, her arm hurt, Chaomu felt uncomfortable all over.

“It’s my fault for bringing you trouble. I didn’t know Yao Yue would come for you, I’m sorry, Chaomu,” Yanli apologized to her.

Chaomu looked at him and smiled: “It’s not your fault, don’t worry, they can’t beat me..”
