If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 76: She is Not Done with Him

Translator: 549690339

“…” Yu Weiwei rolled her eyes.

Xu Chaomu threw her books down very discontentedly, making a

“pitter-patter” noise. Those who didn’t know the situation might think she had turned in a blank test paper again.

“Xu Chaomu, come over here!” The class teacher stood at the classroom door.

What was expected to come, still came. Damn it!

Yu Weiwei nudged Xu Chaomu’s arm, “Hey, the class teacher is calling you!

What’s wrong with you? Something’s off?”

“Collect my corpse.” Xu Chaomu walked out as if resigned to her fate.

Even though it was still spring, today’s sun was particularly passionate, drying the ground completely. Raising her eyes, the blinding sunlight was almost painful to the eyes.

“Xu Chaomu, I already said it in class this morning, everyone must wear the school uniform. So many students can comply, why can’t you? Wearing that super short skirt is simply ruining the school’s atmosphere.” The class teacher was unsparing, scolding her harshly.

“I don’t want to go home and change.” Xu Chaomu replied.

“Everyone else can change, but you can’t?”

“The rain was too heavy yesterday; my house got flooded.” Xu Chaomu said casually but with a serious look.

“…” The class teacher was so frustrated she didn’t want to speak and took several sips of water.

“How about this, you stand in the middle of the playground for two hours and reflect on your behavior,” the class teacher said angrily.

“Oh, stand then stand.”

Xu Chaomu did not wait for the class teacher to speak again and walked out on her own.

She made her way to the middle of the playground as if she had done it a thousand times.

Shit, why is the sun so vicious! It’s so bright she can barely open her eyes!

In no time, her face and arms were sunburned, and she was sweating all over. Forgetting to bring a tissue, she could only wipe the sweat with her sleeves.

But at the hottest time of the day, it was all in vain. She had barely wiped her face when more beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and nose, and her back was dripping with sweat.

Xu Chaomu gritted her teeth, cursing Shen Chi countless times in her heart.

Had she just lost her temper with him yesterday? Did he really need to treat her like this?

No, she hadn’t lost her temper with him.

The scorching sun made Xu Chaomu’s body burn with heat, when suddenly a thought struck her, ‘Pah! Why should she listen to him? Why is she standing here?’

She must be out of her mind! Standing there pointlessly for half an hour!

Just as she boldly prepared to leave the playground, she saw Shen Chi and his group walking over.

Shen Chi’s sharp gaze landed on her, instantly cooling down the temperature around them.

Xu Chaomu shivered and obediently took her position.

“President Shen, look, in this hot weather, this child is quite obedient. Why don’t we let her go back to class?” someone said to Shen Chi.

“Has she stood for two hours?” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“This… she’s probably only been there for half an hour.”

“What, does no one take my words seriously?” Shen Chi said coldly.

The crowd fell silent again, and Shen Chi glanced at them: “Have someone keep watch. ”

“Right, right.”

Xu Chaomu heard every single word of their conversation clearly and truly wished she could rush over and give Shen Chi a few kicks. What was he trying to prove?

Shen Chi looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with indifferent light.

Xu Chaomu clenched her fists; she was not done with him!

However, forty minutes later, a class came out for PE, and it happened to be Lou Yanli’s class.

Xu Chaomu wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Just as she was about to move to a less conspicuous area, Lou Yanli walked over to her.

“Chaomu, up to no good again?” Lou Yanli asked with a smile.

Lou Yanli, truly the heartthrob of many, smiled with an air of refreshing breeze and moonlight. Even Xu Chaomu was momentarily dazzled.

“Didn’t wear the school uniform,” Xu Chaomu said, pouting.

She had expected Lou Yanli to look down on her because, based on her experience, top students often despised underachievers, just as the rich look down on the poor.

“It’s not a big deal; I think you look quite nice in that outfit,” Lou Yanli said with a smile.

Xu Chaomu thought that like others, Lou Yanli would view students wearing very short skirts as bad students. But he didn’t, and Xu Chaomu felt a little moved.

“Last time when I invited you to the movies, you wore this outfit. I’ve always thought it looked really good on you,” Lou Yanli added.

“You still remember…” Xu Chaomu felt like a young girl again in Lou Yanli’s presence.

Lou Yanli’s lips curved in a smile: “Of course I remember, I always do. Is it too hot? Don’t stand there anymore. I’ll keep you company by the swing and we can talk. ”

“I’ll get scolded.”

“I’ll take the heat for it.

“It’ll affect you.”

“Didn’t we agree to share both the good times and the bad?”

Xu Chaomu was touched, and her heart warmed, she laughed.

Lou Yanli led her to the swings at the edge of the playground. There were two swings, and they took one each.

The spot was pleasantly shaded, with lush branches of a large tree shielding them from any sunlight. The swings, made of wood, felt light and breezy; with the slightest push, they soared high.

The fragrance of flowers and trees filled the air; it was spring, and everything was vibrantly blooming. Beside the swing frames grew clumps of orchids, blooming at their peak, lush and gloriously green.

Xu Chaomu leaned against the swing frame, squinting her eyes, sometimes looking at the sky, sometimes at Lou Yanli.

Lou Yanli stood under the sunshine, his smile bright and clear as the February pear blossoms, pure and gentle.

He was indeed a sight one could never tire of.

“Heartthrob… I finally understand why so many girls are so persistent in chasing you, ” Xu Chaomu said as she looked at Lou Yanli, her eyebrows curving into a smile.

“I know,” Lou Yanli also said with a smile.

“You’re not modest at all, haha. But let me tell you, liking me is quite a hindrance to you. You’re so talented—you’re bound to be a pillar of the state in the future. You’ll meet a girl as outstanding as you,” Xu Chaomu said cheerfully as she talked with Lou Yanli, but no sooner had she finished speaking than a wave of sadness spread through her heart.

She was neither good enough for Shen Chi nor for Lou Yanli.

“Fate has nothing to do with being outstanding,” Lou Yanli said, looking at her earnestly.

Xu Chaomu tilted her head, thinking for a long while.

But then she laughed heartily, “Let’s talk about that later, in the future. Maybe

I’ll become really outstanding too.”

“Even if you don’t become outstanding, I won’t despise you,” Lou Yanli said with a smile.

“But I will despise myself,” Xu Chaomu replied, smiling as well.

As the two were talking, Xu Chaomu’s class teacher pushed up her glasses and walked over.

This wicked witch had been scolded by Li Beiting previously, and it took a lot of effort to keep her position at the school. Seeing Xu Chaomu being punished by President Shen today made her extremely happy.

Although Li Beiting was also one of the school’s investors, compared with President Shen, his influence was certainly lesser.

She had wanted to teach this little girl a lesson for a long time.

“Xu Chaomu, I told you to stand in the middle of the playground, and here you are enjoying the cool shade?” the class teacher asked sternly.

“I’m not standing there! Why should I wear a school uniform anyway? Aren’t you just trying to put on a facade? Whatever big shots, as far as I’m concerned, they’re worth nothing!”
