If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 698 - : Don’t Cry, Let Go

Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Don’t Cry, Let Go

The rescue team was comprehensive, with disaster relief and personnel rescue.

The captain and Xiao Mo walked at the forefront, with the captain in charge of commanding, constantly scouting ahead.

When they reached the mountain, Xiao Mo was immediately shocked by everything before his eyes.

Rubble and wreckage were everywhere, blackened by the fire; these remains bore witness to an extremely intimidating explosion.

Most of the trees had been charred, and a few were still stubbornly clinging to life, struggling on their last breaths. Despite the recent heavy rain, some areas still seemed to be emitting a wisp of blue smoke.

The air held a peculiar smell, with the freshness of the post-rain clarity, the fragrance of soil, and also the burnt scent of ruins.

As nightfall descended, the place looked even more ghastly.

“Disaster relief, follow up, see if there are any sources of fire and survivors!” the captain blew a whistle.

Immediately, firefighters with extinguishers began searching, everyone switched on their flashlights.

Xiao Mo found Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi, with Xu Chaomu holding Shen Chi, eyes closed, constantly talking to him.

“Shen Chi… you never properly proposed to me. But even if you did propose, I’d still need to think about whether I want to marry you or not.”

“Shen Chi… feel the baby, whether you believe it’s yours or not; when they’re born, I’m taking them for a paternity test with you.”

Unfortunately, the video was lost. Otherwise, she could have shown it to him.

“Shen Chi… you’re not planning to have a wedding ceremony, are you? Every girl has a grand wedding, and you just took me to get a marriage certificate, oh, and didn’t even pay for it.”

“Shen Chi… look at my hand, not even a diamond ring. You’re so stingy.”

…

Xu Chaomu was whispering into his ear the whole time, while Shen Chi had no response at all.

As she spoke, Xu Chaomu’s tears fell onto his collar.

By the time Xiao Mo arrived, Shen Chi’s collar was already soaked.

Xu Chaomu’s eyes were red and swollen like two ripe peaches, and her face was streaked with tears as she held Shen Chi.

Her appearance seriously startled Xiao Mo, who had just arrived. He thought something bad had happened!

“Miss Xu!” Xiao Mo shouted anxiously as he strode into the cave.

Several rescuers also entered, and for a moment, the cave was filled with people.

Wiping her tears, Xu Chaomu stood up with a sobbing voice, “Secretary Xiao, why did you take so long…”

Having sat for too long, she was unsteady and nearly fell, but Xiao Mo quickly steadied her.

“Miss Xu, I’m sorry, I’m late. Are you okay? How is President Shen?”

“He has a fever…”

Xu Chaomu crouched down, touching Shen Chi’s forehead, which felt hotter than before.

Xiao Mo called over a doctor, “Quick, check on President Shen.”

The rescue team’s doctor hurriedly opened the medical kit, anxiously preparing injections and medication.

They administered a shot in Shen Chi’s arm, and Xu Chaomu couldn’t bear to watch, her nose sniffling.

“It’s okay, Miss Xu, the doctor is here,” Xiao Mo comforted her.

“Secretary Xiao, I’m scared,” Xu Chaomu said, “he’s been on and off with a fever since last night, and he also has injuries.”

“It’s okay, leave it to the doctor,” Xiao Mo said. “You need to take care of yourself.”

Xiao Mo knew that Xu Chaomu was Shen Chi’s most cherished love. He treated her with even more care than he did himself.

In Shen Chi’s heart, Xu Chaomu’s life was definitely more important than his own.

“I’m fine,” Xu Chaomu nodded.

The doctors donned their masks, working urgently to treat Shen Chi’s wounds. They removed Shen Chi’s shirt and began cleaning the contusions with alcohol wipes.

The alcohol’s sting roused the groggy Shen Chi, who immediately furrowed his brow.

Knowing it must hurt, Xu Chaomu ran up and embraced Shen Chi.

“If it hurts, bite me,” Xu Chaomu offered her hand to his lips.

For some reason, Xiao Mo, standing aside, fell silent, a warm surge coursing through his heart.

Everyone said Shen Chi doted on Xu Chaomu, but nobody realized that Xu Chaomu had every reason to be doted on by Shen Chi.

Shen Chi finally opened his eyes, looking at Xu Chaomu with tenderness swirling in his pupils.

He actually bit down on her hand, and Xu Chaomu immediately closed her eyes, bracing for the pain.

Unexpectedly, instead of the anticipated pain, what pressed against her hand was a warm, tender kiss.

“Fool,” he smiled softly from the corner of his mouth.

Xu Chaomu’s nose tingled, almost bursting into tears again.

“I’m not a fool,” she hugged him, unwilling to let go.

The doctors stood somewhat awkwardly, wondering whether to continue their work or stop.

While holding him, she felt his intense fever, and she cried even harder.

“No crying, let go,” Shen Chi said in a deep voice.

“I won’t cry,” Xu Chaomu dried her tears, “I’ll let go, but you have to promise me you’ll be alright, that you’ll let me hug you all I want.”

“Mm,” Shen Chi grunted affirmatively.

Xu Chaomu finally let go, and then the doctors resumed their work.

As the doctors used tweezers to clean Shen Chi’s wound, Xu Chaomu covered her face, tears streaming through her fingers again.

Shen Chi clenched his teeth, but still said to her, “Turn your head.”

“I won’t…” Xu Chaomu disagreed.

“Turn your head!” Shen Chi’s tone turned cold, his voice rising.

His stern command startled Xu Chaomu, drawing back her tears as she finally turned away, back to him.

Xiao Mo softly consoled her, “It’s okay, come out with me.”

At first, Xu Chaomu refused to leave, but Xiao Mo persisted, leading her out of the cave.

Outside the cave, night had fallen, so dark one could barely see their hand in front of them.

Fortunately, the rescuers had lit some torches, which made the surroundings bright again.

“Xiao Mo… he won’t be in any danger, right?”

“Definitely not, don’t worry.”

“When can we go down the mountain to the hospital?”

“As soon as the doctors do some basic treatment, we’ll go down.”

“Okay.”

“Miss Xu, what exactly happened? Tell me,” Xiao Mo asked.

Xu Chaomu sniffled and then explained everything that had happened to Xiao Mo in detail.

She told him everything clearly, including her being taken hostage, Shen Chi coming to her rescue, and the explosion.

The rescue team continued to search nearby, and before long, police with search dogs also arrived.

“No signs of life found here,” the rescuers told the police.

Shining their flashlights, the police took continuous notes.

“Any casualties?” the police inquired.

“We found a charred male body,” the rescuers said, “unrecognizable.”

As Xu Chaomu was talking to Xiao Mo, hearing this, her brows furrowed, and she felt a wave of nausea.

Due to the discomfort, she ran to the side and began to vomit. She knew that the charred body was Zhou Peitian.
