If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 314: Chenglang, it’s so cold

Translator: 549690339

Xu Chaomu stood motionless, letting Nie Chenglang support her without any reaction.

Nie Chenglang quickly took off his coat and draped it over her, carrying her quickly toward the hospital!

The snow was falling heavily; he had never thought that he would meet Xu Chaomu again in this place, at this time.

Half a year had gone by, a full six months.

Back then, he hadn’t left her any message, thinking they would never see each other again in this lifetime…

Fate really is a wonderful thing.

“Chaomu, hold on a little longer, we’re almost at the hospital.”

Nie Chenglang hugged her tightly, holding her close in his arms as if afraid the snowflakes would fall on her.

As for him, his hair had quickly turned white.

“Cold…” Halfway there, Xu Chaomu suddenly murmured, her voice extremely weak.

Nie Chenglang’s brows furrowed. Why was she alone in Paris? And her clothes were so thin, her body so frail.

After they said goodbye at the airport that day, had she really never gone back home?

When he held her, he could clearly feel that she had lost weight!

He hastened his pace toward the nearest hospital!

“Doctor, save her!” Nie Chenglang said anxiously as he carried her into the ward.

Xu Chaomu was in and out of consciousness, and at that moment, she seemed to hear a familiar voice…

Whose voice was that, was it… Nie Chenglang? Was it really him?

She tried hard to open her eyes, but the harder she tried, the more difficult it became…

She wanted to see if it was Nie Chenglang…

Having not seen him for half a year, she thought she would never see him again in her life…

“Doctor, come over here quickly, there is a patient!” Nie Chenglang called out again!

This time, Xu Chaomu heard clearly, it was him, it was his voice…

“Cheng… Chenglang… so cold…” Xu Chaomu murmured, her breath as fine as gossamer, desperately trying to open her eyes.

The light above flickered, she reached out and grabbed Nie Chenglang’s sweater as if that would make her warmer.

“Chaomu, don’t be afraid, we are at the hospital, hold on a little longer, the doctor will be here soon. Hold onto me, don’t let go.”

He pulled Xu Chaomu a bit tighter into his embrace, but he could feel her entire body shivering.

Once in the warm ward, he held both her hands tightly, hoping it would make her feel better.

A blanket was placed over Xu Chaomu, and she finally felt warmth, as well as the warmth emanating from Nie Chenglang holding her hands.

“Teacher Nie… Am I dreaming… Is it you…?”

Xu Chaomu made an effort to lift her eyes; she finally saw the person in front of her clearly.

He still looked handsome after half a year, his brows carrying the serenity of a bright moon.

She particularly liked this feeling of looking at him; it was different from looking at anyone else.

He gave her a sense of security, a kind that meant, “Spare you a life of hardship without a branch to lean on.”

Suddenly, she was very attached to this sense of security and warmth, different from what anyone else offered.

Just like now, as he warmed her hands and her body gradually warmed up, the place over her heart seemed to be revived…

The heart that had been ‘dead’ for half a year finally felt a throb of life.

“It’s me, Nie Chenglang. Chaomu, it’s been half a year, I never thought we’d meet again in a foreign land.”

“I feel like I’m still dreaming, pinch me.”

Nie Chenglang was helpless, shaking his head, “It’s not a dream.”

“Pinch me… pinch me…” Xu Chaomu said stubbornly.

No sooner had she finished speaking than she started coughing, feeling very uncomfortable in her throat.

“Alright, alright, there’s no talking sense with you.” After saying that, Nie Chenglang really did pinch her lightly.

“It hurts…” Xu Chaomu laughed, not a dream.

Indeed, it wasn’t a dream, to see an old friend in a foreign country.

What great happiness that is!

“Of course, it hurts, silly!” Nie Chenglang said with a laugh as he pinched her cheek.

After not seeing her for half a year, he still loved to see her laugh. Her laughter was always pure and lovely, like the sun in winter, instantly cheering up the heart.

But, having not seen her for half a year, she had become terribly thin.

This particularly pained him.

Soon, the doctor came to check on Xu Chaomu and instructed Nie Chenglang to take good care of her.

“Chaomu, how did you end up in Paris? Tell me the truth.”

“I missed you, so I came to see you.”

“Impossible, you’re not telling the truth. If you don’t, tomorrow you’ll be punished under the sun.”

“I’m not Tiantian, that trick won’t work on me.”

“Have you become so audacious that you won’t listen to me anymore? Then I’ll leave you here.”

“Don’t, don’t, Teacher Nie, I’ll behave, I’m a perfect student.” Even though Xu Chaomu knew he was joking, she still enjoyed playing along with him.

“Hmm, then tell me, why did you come to Paris? Alone? How did you get here?”

“Can I not say?”

Remembering the past events from half a year ago, Xu Chaomu felt a stab of pain in her chest.

That night, on the cruise ship, gunshots, bullets, bloodstains…

Everything was as if it had happened just yesterday, slowly becoming clear again.

She didn’t want to remember those things, but they persistently followed her like a shadow!

The less she wanted to recall, the clearer they became.

In the pouring rain, Bai Man told her she was pregnant with Shen Chi’s child, and Shen Chi’s true love was her, Bai Man! Her mother, Xu Mengxi, was killed by Shen Chi’s mother, Zhou Ran! Her beloved fourth brother was actually a ruthless swindler!

Later… she took a bullet for him, and as she fell into his arms, she said, “Shen Chi, eight years of debt has been repaid.”

From then on, she owed Shen Chi nothing.

Thinking of these things, she painfully withdrew her hands from Nie Chenglang’s, covering her head.

Her head ached terribly…

“Chaomu, what’s wrong? If you don’t want to talk, don’t talk, I won’t pressure you. Don’t think about unhappy things, relax a little,” Nie Chenglang quickly embraced her.

“My head hurts…” Xu Chaomu said with a pained expression.

“I’m here, I won’t ask you anymore. Don’t think about those unhappy things, get a good night’s sleep, get better. Do you remember I told you about the places in Paris that are fun? When you’re feeling better, I’ll take you there.”

“Mm…” Xu Chaomu nodded weakly.

“Alright, Chaomu, don’t be afraid, from now on in Paris, I’ll be with you. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want, just tell me.”

“Chenglang…” Xu Chaomu was in too much pain to speak, so she softly called out his name.

“Hmm, don’t speak, rest well. Lie down, sleep a while, I’ll cover you with a blanket.”

He gently laid Xu Chaomu down on the hospital bed, then went to fill a hot water bottle and place it beside her.

His warm palm brushed over her forehead, gently pushing away the messy strands of hair.

“Good, now close your eyes,” Nie Chenglang coaxed her as if soothing a child.

He knew that she was just a child who never grew up. And a child, well, they need to be tenderly coaxed.
