Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Liking is a feeling

Xu Chaomu lifted her eyelids, her voice weak and breathless, “Yeah, it’s too cold, I couldn’t get up, and I also broke the alarm clock this morning.”

“Then I’ll buy you several alarm clocks next time,” Lou Yanli said with a laugh.

“Why did you come out too? Isn’t it class time?” Xu Chaomu tilted her head to look at him.

Lou Yanli smiled, “I came out to keep you company. How could I bear to let you stand alone in the wind early in the morning?”

“I don’t believe it. You must have been too mischievous in class and got kicked out by the teacher, right?”

Xu Chaomu smiled at him, feeling much better.

Lou Yanli was indeed a sight to behold, especially standing in the wind,

detached from the world, exuding a gentle gentleman’s warmth.

No wonder the entire grade liked to call him the “Male God”; it really wasn’t an undeserved title.

“Maybe you’re right, I told the teacher, ‘Teacher, I’m going out to stand with Xu Chaomu. She’s so alone.’ Without a second word, the teacher sent me out.”

“I don’t believe you, you’re teasing me again,” Xu Chaomu said, her big eyes twinkling with laughter.

“Anyway, I can’t go back now, so you have to take me in; make some room for me,” Lou Yanli looked at her with a pitiful gaze.

Xu Chaomu moved aside by the balcony, “Hmph, just stand with me. Isn’t it embarrassing to be seen standing with a poor student like me?” “Embarrassing? Standing with a beauty like you is a wish come true.”

“Ahem, Lou Yanli, who did you learn this slick talk from? If I spread this around, your ‘Male God’ status will be gone.”

“Do you think I’m a Male God?”

Xu Chaomu cocked her head and scrutinized him, looking him over from left to right. Lou Yanli certainly was good-looking.

He had the energy and vitality unique to an eighteen-year-old, as well as a gentle scholarly air about him, exuding an aura of being both refined and cultured from head to toe.

So, Xu Chaomu nodded vigorously, “Hmm, a Male God, no doubt about it!”

“As long as you think so, I don’t care about anyone else’s opinion.” “How come you fell for me?” Xu Chaomu blinked her eyes. “Liking someone is a feeling,” Lou Yanli said seriously.

“Oh, don’t understand.”

“If you don’t understand, let it be,” Lou Yanli laughed, finding it amusing when Xu Chaomu acted clueless. He reached out and lightly touched her hair.

The gesture was intimate, but not in a way that caused discomfort. On the contrary, Xu Chaomu felt her heart warm considerably.

“Male God, would you read this poem to me, please?”

Xu Chaomu flipped to that page and pointed out the short poem for Lou Yanli to see.

Lou Yanli laughed heartily, “Why are you suddenly interested in this? I’m impressed.”

“You’re making fun of me for not liking to read,” Xu Chaomu pouted.

“How could I make fun of you? Here, I’ll read it to you,” Lou Yanli knew it by heart, having memorized it long ago.

Amidst the wind and rain, Lou Yanli recited the poem word for word to Xu Chaomu.

His voice was very pleasant to listen to, clear and resonant; he had always been a broadcaster for the school radio station. Many times, he had also helped the English teacher by reading listening test passages to the whole school.

The love-struck girls all said that listening to Lou Yanli’s voice over and over could get them pregnant.

Indeed, Xu Chaomu thoroughly enjoyed listening to him recite poetry.

“Where are the drifting catkins and blossoms…”

“How much resentment in the west wind, unable to scatter the curved brows…” For the first time, Xu Chaomu felt that learning could be a pleasure.

She listened entranced as Lou Yanli read, not noticing that the Maybach below had never left.

Shen Chi wasn’t anywhere else; he was sitting behind the wheel, his hands quietly resting on the steering wheel. The wipers weren’t on, and the rain washed over the windshield, blurring his view.

Even though his suit was soaked by the rain, he had forgotten to take it off.

From his position, he could clearly see Xu Chaomu. Of course, there was also a boy with her, if he remembered correctly, was named Lou Yanli.

Lou Yanli again.

Xu Chaomu was laughing quite happily at the moment, still that carefree Xu Chaomu. Completely unlike the silent and sullen girl from last night and this morning.

She had started to show him a sour face, as if the world dared not show her a

sour face, yet she dared.

She was just taking advantage of his indulgence, relying on the fact that he wouldn’t dare to treat her badly.

Right now, the two of them were talking about something, and Xu Chaomu’s face was filled with laughter, particularly joyful.

Shen Chi felt increasingly uneasy, his thin lips pursed, his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter and tighter. Just then, Bai Man called him.

He finally picked up.

“Shen Chi, where are you? I’ve called you many times, and you haven’t answered.”

“I had a project meeting last night and haven’t returned. I’m in a hotel, and my phone died,” Shen Chi casually replied.

“The rain is heavy today. Which hotel are you at, and have you been drinking? Should I come pick you up?

“No need, I’ll head to the group soon.”

“Be careful on the slippery roads. Have you had breakfast?”

“Hmm.”

“I won’t bother you then. Just hearing your voice is good enough. You don’t know how anxious I was this morning when you didn’t answer the phone. I was scared something happened to you. Thankfully, you’re fine.”

“You don’t need to worry about me.”

Bai Man laughed softly, “If I don’t worry about you, then whom should I worry about? Anyway, will you come home for dinner tonight? What if I cook for you personally, would that be nice?”

“I have a dinner engagement tonight.”

“Is that so?” Bai Man’s enthusiasm instantly faded, “When will the engagement end? I’ll wait for you.”

“You don’t need to wait for me.

“No, I will wait, because I’m your wife, and I want to.” Shen Chi frowned slightly, “Stop it, go to sleep.”

“No matter how late, I will wait for you.”

After saying that, Bai Man hung up the phone. She rarely hung up before Shen Chi, but this time, she didn’t wait for his reply and decisively ended the call.

Indeed, no matter how late, she would wait for him.

If she didn’t wait, she feared that he might become someone else’s without realizing it.

Shen Chi was increasingly bugged and was about to open the car window when Xiao Mo’s call came through.

“President Shen, the shareholders are waiting for you to return for a meeting.”

“Let them wait.’

“President Shen… where are you?”

“I’ll be there soon,” Shen Chi said coldly.

“Oh, okay, everything is prepared for the meeting. I’ve told Secretary Kang to go downstairs and wait for you.”

“Hmm.”

After hanging up, Shen Chi turned the car around and drove the Maybach out of the school.

As he left, he glanced up one more time to see Xu Chaomu and Lou Yanli still standing side by side on the balcony.

This heavy rain had unwittingly become their romantic backdrop for a lovers’ talk.

Remembering how he had braved the rain to carry her up the stairs, it all seemed rather ridiculous now.

He, Shen Chi, since when had he become so undignified?

Perhaps due to the Maybach’s eye-catching design, as Xu Chaomu was talking with Lou Yanli, she glanced up and just happened to see Shen Chi’s car leaving the school.

She had thought he had left long ago.

She lowered her eyelids again; whether he left or not, what did it have to do with her?
