If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Some Functions of Your Husband Are Not Old
 

That night Shen Chi was also frightened by her; he hadn’t expected her to lose control to the extent of not wanting the child anymore.

Fortunately, after two days, her mood had stabilized a lot.

However, he would not easily bring up the unpleasant past between them in the future.

After breakfast, Shen Chi drove the convertible to take her to the beach.

Five years had passed, and he hadn’t properly taken her out until now.

The weather today was exceptionally fine, the sky was a brilliant blue, cloudless. The crisp air after the rain, accompanied by a gentle breeze, brushed past the ears.

The temperature was neither hot nor cold; it was just right.

Shen Chi turned off his mobile phone. Today, he would definitely keep her company; he wanted to see the carefree Xu Chaomu.

Before long, the car had driven from Waterside Pavilion to the nearest coastal area.

There were fewer residents along this coastline, the sand was clean, and not many people were coming and going.

However, probably because of the summer vacation, there were quite a few children on the beach.

“There are quite a lot of people here today. Shall we change places?” Shen Chi was wary of too many people affecting her mood.

“Let’s just stay here,” Xu Chaomu seemed to actually like it.

Shen Chi heeded her desire, parked the car by the shore, and took her hand as they walked towards the beach.

The sight of so many people suddenly aroused different emotions in Xu Chaomu.

She really liked lively scenes. Breaking free of Shen Chi’s hand, she walked toward the beach on her own.

Shen Chi didn’t bother her; he just followed behind her, content to watch her.

Initially, Xu Chaomu walked on the sand wearing canvas shoes, but after a while, feeling uncomfortable, she simply took them off and carried them in her hand.

Walking along the beach, she soon left behind a trail of little footprints where she had passed.

There were many children on the beach, and also young couples, everywhere was filled with laughter, frolicking, and playfulness.

Xu Chaomu’s mood brightened as she watched them.

At that moment, thinking the shoes in her hand were just a nuisance, she turned her head and gave Shen Chi a glance.

Shen Chi was about five paces away from her, and at this moment, the sun was hanging in the east. She squinted at him, noticing that Shen Chi looked particularly handsome and youthful today.

So this man could also be this young. She had always thought that his youth had been devoured by a dog.

After all, since her first glance at him, he was always prematurely mature, composed, and calm.

In her memory, he was almost always neatly dressed in clean shirts; it was rare to see him in a T-shirt, let alone one as juvenile as this.

She hadn’t paid much attention earlier, but now, standing in the sunlight and looking closely, she noticed an image of a standing boy printed on his T-shirt.

Small head, big eyes, very cute.

She looked down and realized that her shirt indeed had a little girl on it.

Small head, big eyes, also very cute.

No wonder he said they were a pair.

She pouted, reluctant to agree; she and he were not a pair.

She was so youthful, beautiful, lively, and gracious. How could she be a pair with this deep, old man?

At that moment, Shen Chi also squinted his eyes, folded his arms, and watched her.

She turned around, raised her arms, holding the shoes, and gave Shen Chi a gesture.

“What is it?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

“Holding the shoes is inconvenient,” she said.

“Hm? So?” Shen Chi pretended not to understand.

“So could you, Xiaoshen, please help me by taking the shoes back to the car?”

Xu Chaomu’s face was expressionless, but her big eyes betrayed her.

When she was in a good mood, her eyes always sparkled with joy, and a slight blink seemed as though even her long eyelashes could speak.

Shen Chi smiled; she had learned to give orders.

He walked a few steps forward, stopping with arms folded in front of her.

She held the clean canvas shoes in her hand, with a glint of crystal light in her eyes.

Behind her was the vast ocean, boundless, and the pure blue blended perfectly with Xu Chaomu.

As he watched, his heart melted.

He loved this version of Xu Chaomu, a love that penetrated his bones. He didn’t want her to be unhappy; he wished for her to be eternally happy.

“Hm,” Xu Chaomu raised her shoes a little higher.

Shen Chi took them, his lips curving slightly: “Is there a tip?”

Xu Chaomu bent down, picked up a small seashell from the beach, and stuffed it into his hand: “Is this enough? I have more.”

Shen Chi laughed, appearing as if he was helpless against her.

He turned around, carrying her shoes towards the car. He also took off his own shoes and took a pink, laced hat out of the trunk.

When he turned back, Xu Chaomu was already running towards the edge of the sea, bending down to scoop up a handful of seawater.

Gradually, she spread her palms, letting the waters flow back into the sea.

A childish game, yet she indulged in it tirelessly.

Shen Chi placed the hat on her head, worrying that after a day of play, she would turn from Snow White into a charcoal black version.

The seawater immediately reflected her image and the image of Shen Chi standing behind her.

“What are you playing at?” Shen Chi squatted down beside her.

Xu Chaomu ignored him, silently lowering her head, scooping up another handful of water from the sea, muttering, “A thousand pitchers are little to what my heart would pour; a single pitcher is much where my heart finds rest.”

Shen Chi laughed, “Who are you going to select?”

“I’m not telling you,” Xu Chaomu replied nonchalantly.

“Besides me, whom else do you plan to select?” Shen Chi’s tone was quite domineering.

“You’re too old,” Xu Chaomu played with the water, “I like fresh meat.”

“Old? Some of your husband’s functions aren’t old.”

“…” Xu Chaomu shot him a glare. Why did he always tell such improper jokes? Moreover, every time he did, he seemed so earnest.

She was curious whether he was like this at the group?

And who had he learned it from? Or perhaps… was he self-taught?

Xu Chaomu played in the water by herself, just at that moment, a big wave came crashing in with a “whoosh,” overpowering like mountains and seas!

Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu were far enough to avoid being drenched, though they still got splashed.

With the wave’s arrival, the beach erupted with jubilant cheers and screams.

Xu Chaomu also covered her face and turned away, but the water still soaked her back.

“That was a huge wave!” Xu Chaomu exclaimed.

The crest brought seaweed, small fish, and debris from the ocean, and the edge of the beach was no longer dry.

“Going to pick seashells?” Shen Chi asked her.

“I’ll pick them up myself, don’t follow me,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Fine, pick them up yourself, I’ll watch you,” Shen Chi agreed.

He found a piece of rock to sit upon and watched her from there.

Xu Chaomu ran off, like a child frolicking on the beach, picking up seashells back and forth.

Her big eyes constantly scanned the beach, searching for pretty seashells.

Suddenly, she saw a glistening seashell!

With a “plop,” she covered it with her hands and leapt forward!

But she was a step too late, as a single seashell was seized by a three or four-year-old girl ahead of her.
