Chapter 63: Chapter 063 He kissed her

Translator: 549690339

The downpour showed no sign of stopping, and Xu Chaomu’s hair was completely drenched. She closed her eyes, her face covered with droplets of water, afraid to open them.

Her inner fear was magnifying bit by bit, but Shen Chi’s voice undoubtedly gave her great comfort.

However, after a while, there was still no movement.

Had she imagined it, or had he left?

“Shen Chi… Shen Chi, I’m here… Shen Chi…” she yelled with all her strength, pleading for him to come and save her quickly.

The faint rain mixed with the salty tears streaming down her cheeks, indistinguishable from one another. All around was desolation, like the primal screaming of the primordial universe.

The water level rose higher and higher, engulfing Xu Chaomu’s limbs. Xu Chaomu didn’t know if she could hold on any longer; her legs were already giving out.

She couldn’t swim.

By the time Shen Chi was completely soaked by the downpour, he finally spotted Xu Chaomu.

“Mumu! Mumu!” He scrambled down the landslide-prone slope, his flashlight beam illuminating the culvert entrance!

He couldn’t even bother to wipe the tears off his face because he saw Xu Chaomu being slowly swallowed by the rising water.

After Xu Chaomu clearly heard Shen Chi’s voice, she finally collapsed, her legs giving out, and everything went dark; she couldn’t hold on any longer and fell…

With a “plop,” Shen Chi watched her sink into the water.

“Mumu!” A heart-wrenching scream echoed around!

She couldn’t swim! She couldn’t die!

Shen Chi’s eyes reddened, his facial features tensed. Throwing everything aside, he dropped the flashlight and leaped into the culvert, frantically searching for Xu Chaomu amid the surging water and pouring rain!

Xu Chaomu was slowly sinking; she choked on water several times, trying to clutch at rocks or plants, but it was all in vain. Then, she lost consciousness…

Darkness and death were rushing toward her.

Branches in the culvert wrapped around her arms, and she felt suffocating pain. She struggled to pull free, but they only tightened more.

Stones kept plummeting into the water, hitting her, causing intense pain…

She struggled to breathe, her ears ringing, and breathing grew increasingly difficult…

Just when she thought she would stay eighteen forever, suddenly, she seemed to hear a loud splash!

A few seconds later, a strong hand grasped her frail arm, pulling her towards the surface!

The hand was as domineering as ever, gripping her, leaving no room for resistance.

But this time, the dominance brought her immense tranquility and boundless hope.

Xu Chaomu’s head ached, and though she could see or hear nothing, she firmly believed it was Shen Chi, it must be him.

He had come for her, he hadn’t abandoned her…

She clung to him like grabbing the sole lifeline, her small hands tightly encircling his waist, very tightly.

Shen Chi swam upward with Xu Chaomu, as the heavy rain and stones continued to hammer into the culvert, quickly raising the water level by several centimeters.

Finally, standing at the entrance, he closed his eyes and let out a heavy breath as if he had just journeyed through a cycle of life and death!

The rain lashed his face, but he felt no pain; he only knew…she was safe.

The girl’s hands still clung to him like an octopus, grasping tightly, refusing to let go. Shen Chi let her hold on, embracing her with a strong arm, shielding her from the rain that now fell on him instead of her.

Xu Chaomu fainted, oblivious even as Shen Chi held her.

Shen Chi stroked her damp hair, feeling an unprecedented sense of solidity and peace.

The rain followed his hair down as his lips were tightly compressed, his resolute face even more austere in the dark night. Under the faint light, his lips slowly curved into a smile.

“Chaomu… it’s all right now… let’s go home,” Shen Chi said, looking at her and picking her up.

He walked step by step up the slope, relentless rain pouring down, boulders tumbling—none of which mattered to him at this moment.

He reached the black Hummer, opened the door, and placed Xu Chaomu in the passenger seat.

But the girl still wouldn’t let go, her hands tightly grasping his arm, tangling like waterweed. Shen Chi, smiling helplessly, had no choice but to pry her fingers apart one by one.

She was ice-cold all over. Shen Chi turned on the car’s air conditioning, and soon, the vehicle warmed up.

He found water, a dry towel, and some of his regular clothes from the trunk. He began unbuttoning her clothes, but when her skin was exposed before his eyes, his throat involuntarily tightened.

This was the first time he had seen her body. Last time in the bathroom, when he told her, “I have seen what I shouldn’t have seen,” he actually hadn’t seen anything.

But this time was different; he was personally unbuttoning her clothes.

His long fingers undid her buttons, the girl no longer the scrawny Xu Chaomu from eight years ago; now, just one more glance at her would make him unable to stop himself.

The closer he looked, the more the fragrance of the young girl on Xu Chaomu enveloped him.

Rainwater moistened Xu Chaomu’s hair and eyelashes as she lay with closed eyes. However, her lips, tender and rosy, appeared even more lustrous and adorable because of the rainwater.

Shen Chi slowly lowered his head, inch by inch, drawing closer to her face.

He wanted to kiss her, so badly.

He was just two centimeters from her, close enough to see her delicate eyelashes adorned with tiny glistening droplets.

In this moment, Xu Chaomu was quiet and docile, nothing like the spoiled little wildcat he had nurtured.

“Chaomu…” his voice husky, he called her name.

In his eyes was intoxication and indulgence, as reason gradually lost its foothold. His burning hand brushed her face…

Finally, he closed his eyes, his warm lips pressing against her moist ones. Regardless of consequence, he indulged in the feeling.

Xu Chaomu remained unresponsive, nestled in Shen Chi’s arms, extremely well-behaved, just like… completely at his mercy.

Shen Chi cradled her head, the kiss unending…

The scent of the young girl lingered at his nose; she didn’t react, but he was like a man in deep torment!

All his resolve and defenses crumbled in that moment. All he knew was that he was holding her, as if he was embracing the entire warm world.

He kissed her for a long, long time, as if for an entire century, as though autumn had ended, stars had shifted, and time had circled again and again in a complex journey. He reached to unbutton his own shirt, with only one thought in his mind—he wanted her.

“Hmm… Shen Chi…”

Xu Chaomu groggily called out and furrowed her brows..
