If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1633: Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth Through Death (2)

Chapter 1633: Chapter 1633: Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth Through Death (2)

She remembered crying many times during the night, her tears soaking his pillow.

The scene before her was the most familiar, yet he was no longer there.

She remembered while packing her things, Xiao Mo’s mother barely said a word to her. It was only after her repeated pleas that Xiao Mo’s mother agreed to let her sleep there.

She asked for nothing more, only that Xiao Mo’s mother would not drive her away.

As dawn was breaking, she drowsily caught a few winks and, in her sleepy haze, first heard the sound of a dog barking.

The sound was so much like Guai Guai’s barking, Xia Chuqing thought she was dreaming.

But the puppy barked a few more times, and in her blurry state, she seemed to hear Xiao Mo’s voice!

She was particularly sensitive to his voice, and yes, without a doubt, it was his voice.

She drew back the curtain; there he stood downstairs, graceful and elegant, with a gentle smile, like a celestial being. Guai Guai was jumping around at his feet.

Xiao Mo, it was him!

She could no longer distinguish between dream and reality, tears falling unchecked, she quickly ran out.

Even if it was a dream, she wanted to see him and touch him in the dream.

Phoenix reborn from the ashes, living on through death.

Xiao Mo heard her call, at first in doubt, how was she staying at his house?

She had returned the key to him; how had she gotten in, and was even sleeping in his room?!

But before he could find an answer, Xia Chuqing had already run out barefoot and hugged him tightly!

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo... is it really you?" Xia Chuqing cried out his name, clutching him tightly.

She feared it was a dream, but in the dream, she wanted to hold on to him, fearing that waking up would bring boundless darkness once more.

Though puzzled at heart, Xiao Mo couldn’t bear to see her cry.

He lowered his head, replacing a thousand helpless feelings, gently wiping away her tears.

"It’s me."

The voice was as familiar as ever, along with his unique fresh scent, making it all feel very real to Xia Chuqing.

Yet, she was sure she was dreaming again; these days, she often dreamt of him, of past events, with tears, happiness, and quarrels. But no matter what, he was still alive in them.

Xia Chuqing held on tightly; even if it were a dream, she wanted to hold him a bit longer.

Tears quickly soaked his white shirt, and Xiao Mo didn’t quite understand Xia Chuqing’s current reactions and emotions.

Had she not woken up yet?!

Guai Guai was delighted to see Xia Chuqing, circling them, jumping around, nearly climbing up her leg into her arms.

Yet, after a good while of jumping, no one paid it any attention.

It had no choice but to bark a few more times to draw their attention.

But at this moment, Xia Chuqing’s eyes were full of Xiao Mo.

Gripping his shirt, she cried heart-wrenchingly, choking up, unsure where to begin.

The place in her heart that had been torn seemed to be slowly healing; in this instant, she couldn’t describe the feeling, and "lost and regained" was insufficient to capture her entire emotion.

His fingers gently glided over her face, still as tender as ever, wiping away her tears.

Xia Chuqing held his hand; she was filled with excitement and trembled all over.

She greedily nestled against him; afraid that once she woke from the dream, he would be gone, leaving her all alone.

"Xiao Mo..." was all she could call out amid a thousand words.

"Hmm?" He was somewhat lost, "Why are you crying, did you have a nightmare?"

This moment, his recently mended heart ached again.

After thinking it over all night, it turned out he wasn’t as rational as he thought. Seeing her cry, he couldn’t help but feel concern and distress.

"No... I..." Xia Chuqing responded to him incoherently, her sobs intermittent.

Xiao Mo gave her a pitiful look; she was crying so heartbreakingly, almost to the point of fainting.

He laughed instead, "Well, is it ’yes’ or ’no’?"

Had she had a nightmare? Hadn’t everything that happened these days seemed like one nightmare after another?

From seeing the crashed car involving him, seeing him bloodied and bruised, to everyone telling her he was gone...

One nightmare after another shattered her heart completely.

Tears continued to flow endlessly, rendering her speechless for a while.

"Am I... dreaming?" She was fearful it was just another dream.

Yet, the sunlight, the scent of earth, the barking—all seemed so real...

Xiao Mo gave her a puzzled look, what was going on with Xia Chuqing?

He couldn’t help but pinch her cheek playfully and asked, "Does it hurt?"

It hurt... but with such a gentle pain...

Truly, this was not a dream!

Xia Chuqing lifted her head from his embrace, shaking his arm, looking at him with wide eyes, as if seeing him for the first time.

"Xiao Mo, you’re still alive, you’re still alive!" She was overly excited, tears streaming down.

But her eyes were full of brilliance, the sunlight reflecting the color of hope in them.

He was really still alive; the person speaking to her was Xiao Mo, she wouldn’t mistake it!

"Hmm?" Xiao Mo was even more confused, "You don’t want me to be alive?"

No way, even if she was going to be with Yao Hongming, wasn’t this curse way too much?

"Are you really still alive? Am I dreaming? Am I seeing things?" Xia Chuqing almost jumped up.

"..." Xiao Mo couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, reaching to touch her forehead, she wasn’t running a fever.

How did she become so nonsensical in just a few days?

"Answer me, say something to me, do you know I’ve been thinking of you."

Xia Chuqing grew frightened at his silence; she still couldn’t trust her eyes.

Fear glinted in her eyes, a fear of losing and being disappointed.

"What’s the matter with you, why are you at my home?" Xiao Mo asked.

"It’s really you..." Xia Chuqing believed now, covering her face, tears streaming down again.

"..." Xiao Mo’s lip twitched.

Looking down, he noticed she hadn’t worn shoes and had run out just like that.

And what did she say just now, she missed him?

His gaze inadvertently fell on her hand that covered her face, her ring finger adorned with the ring he had given her, pink diamond, cherry blossoms, dazzling under the sunlight.

His heart was touched, his mind racing yet still unable to comprehend what had transpired these past few days.

The only thing certain was that Shen Chi was lying to him!

Shen Chi had said she was with Yao Hongming, but if she indeed was, why was she still wearing the ring he gave her.

Crying until she was short of breath, these days, it felt like Xia Chuqing had cried all the tears of a lifetime.

She reached out to gently caress Xiao Mo’s cheek.

He was really still alive, his features were so clear, eyes bright, lashes long, nose elegantly high.

Xia Chuqing bit her lip, he truly was alive...

Confused by Xia Chuqing’s reaction, Xiao Mo merely saw her standing barefoot on the ground, and tenderly picked her up to head inside.
