4668 Never Too Late to Love (75)
Bai Sheng welcomed them into the apartment.
Chu He and Gu Linxi looked at each other. The woman whispered into her son’s ear through her mask, “This girl is not guarded at all.”
“…I guess it’s because you and Chengze look alike.”
Hearing this, the Chu He nodded.
The two of them entered the house and Bai Sheng invited them to sit on the sofa. She seemed rather hasty. After all, this was the first time she was receiving an elder from Gu Chengze’s family. Her hands were intertwined as she probed, “Erm… Chengze is still at work. Shall I call him to come back?”
“Oh, oh, no need.” Chu He quickly waved her hand.
Gu Linxi added, “It’s fine. We’re just dropping by to say hello. Since he’s not around, let’s wait for him to come back from work!”
Bai Sheng was puzzled, “Is there really no need?”
Since she was here to look for Gu Chengze, and since he was not around and she was alone, the atmosphere would inevitably be awkward.
Chu He quickly changed the subject. “Do you have any tea?”
“Sure…” Bai Sheng immediately reacted and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, you’ve been here for so long but I haven’t gotten you guys any tea. Let me boil some water.”
“No hurry.”
Gu Linxi watched her enter the study before exchanging glances with Chu He.
The woman nodded in approval. “Yes, she looks quite pretty. It’s just that…”
“She seems a little familiar?”
“Uh huh.”
“Her name is Bai Sheng. This name is also very familiar.”
It had been so long ago that Gu Linxi had almost forgotten this name that he had come across once upon a time.
When they were young, there seemed to be a girl who got along very well with Gu Chengze.
The moment he mentioned her name, Chu He instantly recalled. “Could it be that Sheng’er?”
Unlike Gu Linxi, Chu He was an adult at that time after all, so she had a deeper impression of her.
Bai Sheng…
“Sheng’er?” The woman immediately thought of this name. “When you boys were young, wasn’t there a girl by the name of Sheng’er, who was quite close to Chengze?”
“From what you’re saying, I remember now. Indeed, there was such a girl.”
Could it be that this Bai Sheng was the “Sheng’er” that Gu Chengze had yearned for when he was a child? UIf so, then it explained why Gu Chengze got married in a flash.
He was deeply in love with Sheng’er. Even after so long, the photograph they took together when they were young was still in his drawer.
With that, Gu Linxi and Chu He exchanged another glance.
“I’ll ask her again when she comes over?”
“Okay, alright.”
The two of them sat upright.
