4698 Never Too Late to Love (105)
Bai Sheng was entranced.
Firstly, she felt that Gu Chengze was too cute when he was young.
Although the current Gu Chengze was also very good-looking, with facial features that were handsome and well-defined, his childhood chubbiness was really adorable compared to his present leanness.
Except… He looked familiar.
!!Where had she seen him?
Bai Sheng held the alb.u.m and did not flip through it. Her eyes did not move as she stared at the photograph for a long time.
When Chu He noticed this, she observed her reaction with great hope that the image had triggered her memory.
“How’s that?” she probed.
Bai Sheng came back to her senses, raised her head and smiled.
“Yes, he was very cute!”
Seeing that she did not seem to remember anything, Chu He could not help looking disappointed.
Bai Sheng continued to flip through the pages and after a few more pages, she suddenly stopped.
At the centre of the page was a group photograph.
Gu Chengze had his arm around a beautiful little girl. Beside them stood a big white puppet. The two of them were beaming with joy. However, compared to the previous few photos, he was smiling reluctantly. In this one, his expression was especially shy and a little immature.
The little girl beside him looked exactly like herself when she was young.
Bai Sheng stared at the photograph closely and could no longer flip the page.
When Chu He saw this, she immediately became excited. “This girl was Chengze’s best friend when he was little. Her name was also Bai Sheng. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”
“She was also called Bai Sheng?” Bai Sheng’s expression became increasingly suspicious.
“Yes, but when they were in kindergarten, something happened in her family, so she transferred schools.”
“Something happened?”
“Yes. Her parents were in a car accident. At that time, her mother was pregnant. Because of the car accident, this little girl became the sole survivor in the family. I heard that she was eventually taken to the countryside to continue her education.”
Bam!
Bai Sheng’s grip suddenly loosened and the alb.u.m fell onto the bed.
When Chu He saw Bai Sheng’s reaction, she finally voiced the question in her heart, “Is your childhood story exactly the same? Bai Sheng, don’t you remember Baby Chu?”
“Baby Chu…”
“Yes. That was Chengze’s nickname when he was little. Hahahaha. Speaking of that nickname, it’s very interesting. When he was young, Chengze liked me to call him Baby Chu. However, when he entered middle school, he tried everything to reject this name. The little guy had grown up and didn’t want to be embarra.s.sed. It was too silly to keep complaining about this nickname. So, from then on, I started to call him Chengze. We stopped calling him Baby Chu.”
When Bai Sheng heard this name, it was as if flashes started going off in her mind. The memories of her childhood came back piece by piece.
“You are Bai Sheng, aren’t you?” Chu He smiled and asked, “Although I’ve guessed it, I’ve never dared to ask. Because while Chengze had always remembered you, you didn’t seem to remember. Some people say that when one has too many bad memories in childhood, one will choose to seal those memories and never remember them again. Indeed, you were once very happy in your childhood, but your parents’ car accident might have created many bad memories. You wouldn’t want to remember them, right?”
Unknowingly, a tear suddenly fell from Bai Sheng’s widened eyes.
She lowered her head in embarra.s.sment. “… I remember now…” She closed her eyes and finally dug out those fragmented images from the depths of her memories. “Auntie, Baby Chu, and that fierce uncle…”
