4718 Never Too Late to Love (125)
The night sky gradually darkened.
Bai Sheng tossed and turned on the unfamiliar bed, unable to sleep well.
The Gu residence was decorated in a Chinese style. The room they were sleeping in had been renovated in a neo-Chinese style.
The so-called neo-Chinese style abandoned many of the more repetitive traditional Chinese style, took the elements of its essence, and interpreted it in a modern way.
However, the timber bed was a little hard. In addition, she was used to her own bed.
Bai Sheng could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Gu Chengze, who was next to her, was also half-asleep from her tossing and turning and asked in a daze, “What’s wrong?”
“Ah… did I wake you up?” Bai Sheng had a fright. The sudden voice in her ear caught her off guard.
Gu Chengze rubbed his eyes and pulled her into his arms. He pinched her nose and said angrily, “Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour? What’s going on?”
“I… I’m not used to the bed. I can’t sleep.”
“Why not?” He sobered up a little and opened his sleepy eyes. The wall lamp in the room had been left on. Under the dim light, Bai Sheng looked at him innocently and said aggrievedly, “Maybe the bed is too hard.”
“Too hard?”
Gu Chengze was used to it though.
He explained, “For as long as I can remember, the Gu residence was decorated in an ancient style. Later on, my mother felt that the style was a little too lifeless, hence many of the rooms were renovated.”
In the past, before the renovation, he had been very careful.
Because it was very likely that the vases in the room were all priceless antiques.
Gu Jinglian loved collecting antiques. In addition, the Gu family used to be a wealthy family, so many of the antiques that had been passed down were precious item.
Chu He was used to cleaning her room carefully.
After almost knocking over the antique vase and dressing mirror several times, she repeatedly emphasized that she wanted to renovate the old residence.
The man naturally gave in to her.
Therefore, after the renovation, many precious items had been moved to be displayed in the ancestral hall.
“This residence has probably been around for many years. I remember watching many Hong Kong style horror movies when I was young. They were filmed in gloomy houses similar to this.”
“Eerie…” Gu Chengze was greatly amused by her descriptions.
For a moment, he could not refute. Because even he felt the same way.
Gu Jinglian grew up in this house, so he did not feel the same. However, when the boy moved into this house at the age of five, he always felt that it was huge. Not only did he often lose his way, he’d always feel that there were things lurking in the corners at night, waiting to jump out at him.
It was not hard to understand why Bai Sheng was so nervous.
“In the future, let’s not renovate in a neo-Chinese style.”
Bai Sheng could not help the lingering fear she felt.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chengze asked, “What style do you like?”
“Northern European! If the house is smaller, it will look warm and cozy in the Northern European style.”
“Northern European timber?”
“Actually, there are many types of Northern European style, just as there are many neo-Chinese styles. I like Scandinavian style. It gives people a sober feeling. It’s best if it’s a large area of white walls. When the sunlight streams in through the window, the entire house feels so warm.”
“Alright, we’ll go with that.”
When it came to renovation, Gu Chengze was not fussy.
“But I also feel that the American style is not bad…”
Bai Sheng started to mutter again.
