4700 Never Too Late to Love (107)
âStay here and look through the photos. Iâll go down and prepare dinner.â
âAlright.â Bai Sheng nodded silently.
Chu He pushed the door open and walked out.
Bai Sheng sat on the bed and quietly flipped through the album.
!!
After a while, she heard footsteps approaching the door.
She was so absorbed in looking through the photographs that she did not hear the footsteps initially. By the time she did, Gu Chengze was already behind her.
He hugged her waist from behind and asked gently, âWhat are you looking at?â
âLooking at your childhood photos.â
Gu Chengzeâs face instantly turned red. He looked at the album and was about to reach out to snatch it away when Bai Sheng stopped him.
âWhat are you doing?â
âThereâs nothing to see!â
âThatâs not true!â Bai Sheng said solemnly, âI think you were very adorable when you were young!â
Gu Chengzeâs face turned red, but it was because he was shy. âReally?â
âUh huh. Has no one ever said that?â
âThe album has always been kept by my mother. I wouldnât show it to anyone.â
Bai Sheng suddenly stared into his eyes and stopped talking.
Gu Chengze looked into her eyes. He was able to act calm for a moment, but gradually, his breathing became rapid. Bai Shengâs deep gaze made him feel like he was being scrutinized.
It was not that he was uncomfortable, but he could sense her probing.
âWhatâs the matter?â He could not help asking.
Bai Sheng suddenly demanded, âWhy didnât you say so earlier?â
âEh?â He was surprised for a moment, not understanding what she meant. âWhy didnât you say so earlier?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThat youâre Baby Chuâ¦â
Gu Chengze was stunned. Before Bai Sheng could say anything, Gu Chengze covered his face in shame and said, âStop calling me âBaby Chuââ¦â
Bai Sheng laughed out loud. âWhen we were young, you actually rejected the name Gu Chengze.â
âDid I?â
âYou did.â Bai Sheng recalled, âYou said that the name âBaby Chuâ was given to you by your mother, and âChengzeâ was given to you by your father. Since you were young, you had been more fond of your mother than your father, so you preferred to go by the name âBaby Chuâ and did not like me to call you âChengzeâ. Why do you now dislike âBaby Chuâ? Do you feel that it is too old-fashioned?â
Gu Chengze was a little surprised. He looked at Bai Sheng in a daze and said in disbelief, âYou⦠You still remember that?â
âYes, of course I remember.â
âWell then â¦â For some reason, Gu Chengze became nervous. It was a side of him that she rarely saw. He asked her cautiously, âWill you regret it?â
âRegret because I remember who you are?â
âUh huh.â
Bai Sheng said helplessly, âIf I regretted it, would I be talking to you like this now? Idiot.â
After realizing that he was Baby Chu, Bai Sheng no longer felt that inexplicable distance between them. All of a sudden, she felt a sense of closeness towards this man.
When they were young, the two of them were close friends. As she grew up, his name gradually faded together with her painful childhood memories.
But now that she recalled the past closeness with him, other than longing for him, there was also a sense of familiarity.
Bai Sheng put her arms around his shoulders and said, âWhy should I regret it! Iâve liked you since we were young.â
