Chapter 234: Co up, I’ll carry you
Translator: 549690339
“Woof, woof, woof!” Dabai barked cheerfully twice, extrely happy.
Shen Chi followed behind them, silently walking.
This road was very long, but even the longest road has its monts where one can’t walk any farther.
Xu Chaomu was the first to get tired; she looked up at Shen Chi, “I want to go back to school. Take the car over, I’ll wait for you by the roadside.”
“That’s not safe at night,” he replied.
“Then call soone to drive over.”
“No one at ho knows how to drive.”
“You’re joking.” Xu Chaomu was huffing and puffing. To think he could tell such a lie, he really was shaless Shen.
“Chaomu, don’t go back tonight, stay,” he pleaded. He hadn’t seen her for so long, a day apart felt like an eternity. He missed her; his dreams were haunted by her, filled only with her image.
“I still need to go back and do practice exams, there’s a test coming up.”
“I’ll have soone drive and get them for you.”
“I thought there was no one at ho who could drive?”
“When it’s necessary, there will be soone; when it’s not, there won’t be.”
Damn shaless, Xu Chaomu was utterly defeated.
There was no helping it; the place was deserted with no taxis in sight. Xu Chaomu could only droop her head in dejection, following Shen Chi step by step back ho.
She’d been sched against, truly no business without crookedness. Shen Chi was even craftier, always planning sothing against her.
Sure enough, Shen Chi imdiately called soone to help Xu Chaomu retrieve the papers from school.
Dabai kept rubbing against Xu Chaomu’s feet, bouncing around joyfully.
By the light of the streetlamps, Xu Chaomu saw that they had left the Splendid World villa complex far behind; walking back would take a considerable amount of ti.
As for Shen Chi, he didn’t seem tired in the slightest.
She sat down on the flowerbed at the roadside, spreading her arms, “I’m not walking anymore; I’m dead tired, and my feet hurt.”
“Be good, the ground is cold, get up,” Shen Chi extended his hand.
“No, I won’t get up. Have soone drive here; I can’t walk anymore,” Xu Chaomu said indignantly.
“Can you really not walk?” Shen Chi frowned.
“Why would I lie to you?”
Shen Chi, helpless, crouched down and patted his shoulder, “Co on, I’ll carry you.”
Xu Chaomu was stunned for a mont, blinking her eyes. He would carry her?
He was always such a precious person, so proud and aloof. How could he carry her? He was the head of a corporation. Being seen like this, how embarrassing it would be.
She pouted, “I’m quite heavy, don’t carry .”
“You’re still not content with offering to carry you? Well, enough talk, get on!”
Without waiting for her consent, Shen Chi frowned and lifted her onto his back.
She wasn’t heavy at all.
During these days at school, she seed to have grown even thinner.
“Hold on tight, don’t fall off. If you get hurt, don’t cry out in pain,” Shen Chi’s tone beca particularly imperious.
Xu Chaomu had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder. When she was close to him, she could sll the pleasant scent of herbs on him. The fragrance was captivating, lingering.
Her eyes were slightly moist.
“Shen Chi.”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve realized you’re quite good at coaxing girls.”
“Should I thank you for the complint?”
“n like you, it’s easy to attract won. You’ve cooked for many girls, you’ve carried many girls, haven’t you?”
“Jealous?”
“There’s no need; I don’t like you,” Xu Chaomu said contrary to her true feelings.
“I can even sll the jealousy. Be good, don’t make a fuss.”
Xu Chaomu shut her mouth; she wasn’t ssing with him.
She leaned on his shoulder, thinking of soone—Nie Chenglang.
Back in her hotown, when crossing a small ditch that she couldn’t step over, Nie Chenglang had carried her across, all the way to the door of the orphanage.
Xu Chaomu sighed internally.
Dabai followed behind them, jumping and hopping, extrely cheerful. They created a harmonious picture with the surroundings, beautiful and warm.
Halfway down the road, a red Maserati ca up behind them.
It was no other than Li Beiting.
Initially, seeing Dabai, Li Beiting was unsure who the person walking in front was. But as he drove closer, to his surprise, the man was Shen Chi.
And the one he was carrying was Xu Chaomu.
Li Beiting imdiately hit the brakes, quietly observing them from behind.
He had known Shen Chi since they were young, and he had really never seen Shen Chi carry a girl before.
He rembered back in school, when a girl sat too close to Shen Chi, about to hand him a love letter, Shen Chi would frown and slam the table, “Move away.”
As a result, the girl would get so frightened she’d forget to reach for the letter, stumbling away in a hurry.
Of course, despite this, there were still bold girls who kept trying.
But the outco was the sa; none got close to Shen Chi, all getting shouted away by him.
So girls would go back and secretly cry, as if they had never seen such a fierce boy.
There was one exception though, Bai Man. When she visited his classroom, he would let her sit next to him.
But that was all, just sitting.
Li Beiting thought, Shen Chi’s soul must have been bewitched by Xu Chaomu. Just like Shen Chi had said in the hospital, “Xu Chaomu is just Xu Chaomu, irreplaceable by anyone else.”
Once upon a ti, Shen Chi also shouted at Xu Chaomu, told her to stay away.
But now, it seed Shen Chi himself couldn’t stay away from her anymore.
Li Beiting sat in his car, quietly watching the scene unfold before him.
He used to think Shen Chi and Bai Man were the perfect match made in heaven. But he thought now he was mistaken. Shen Chi’s heart had long belonged to Xu Chaomu, not to be shared with another woman.
Even if they were a perfect match, even if they were made in heaven, it couldn’t beat love.
Sotis, love was the only thing, given to just one person.
After a long mont, Li Beiting picked up his phone.
A petal of oleander had just fallen on the car windshield, Li Beiting looked out the window and dialed Bai Man’s number.
Bai Man was filming a night scene at the set when she received Li Beiting’s call, a bit surprised.
“Hello, Li Beiting, is there sothing you need?”
“Bai Man, you asked last ti to secure a spot for studying abroad.”
“Yes, did you get it? Of course, this should be simple for soone like you, Mr. Li.”
“Getting a spot indeed isn’t a big deal for , but I’ve decided not to go after it,” Li Beiting’s gaze remained outside the window.
“What do you an? Why?” Bai Man bit her lip in frustration.
Even though Shen Chi had said he wouldn’t marry her, she still wanted to compete, to completely eliminate any won around him, especially… Xu Chaomu.
I’m sorry, Shen Chi, you forced my hand.
“Bai Man, I will help you with other things, but I won’t help with this one,” Li Beiting said firmly.
If he secretly arranged for Xu Chaomu to study abroad, keeping it under wraps, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
“Li Beiting, if you won’t help, fine. Don’t you consider a friend?”
“Bai Man, Shen Chi is about to marry you; you have no reason to worry about Xu Chaomu.”
Bai Man imdiately gritted her teeth; marriage, huh, marriage…
Only she and Shen Chi knew that their marriage was impossible.
