Never Too Late to Love (21)

That night, Bai Sheng slept fitfully. In her sleep, she vaguely heard a little boy calling her name.2

"Sheng'er…"

"Sheng'er!"

In the dream, she vaguely saw a car. Sitting in the backseat, she turned around. A thin figure was getting further and further away, and the shouts of "Sheng'er" faded.

Bai Sheng's eyes snapped open and she sat up on the bed. She realized that the sky had already brightened.

The memory of the dream had faded, but the voice calling out "Sheng'er" still lingered in her ears.

She really couldn't remember anything about her childhood. She had even almost forgotten what her parents looked like.

Time is the most powerful amnesiac. It seems to be able to dilute everything. She vaguely remembered that there was a boy who always liked to call her Sheng'er. However, she had no memory of his name or surname.

Perhaps because of her parents' death when she was in kindergarten, she spent a long time healing from it. Eventually, she realized that if she wanted to walk out of that dark memory, she had to forget it completely.

As if hypnotizing herself, Bai Sheng forced herself to forget all the memories of that period.

Later on, she couldn't even remember what her parents looked like, when she tried to recall.

She tried her best to remember, but nothing came to her. She did not have the courage to look at photographs.

Although the saying goes that the old will die, and the living will go on.

But…

The it appears that the ones left behind are the ones who suffer the greatest pain.

Because of her parents' death, her grandmother went into a shock afterwards. She became mentally ill and somewhat irritable.

The old lady did not seem to like her that much.

Grandma actually favored boys over girls. Without her father, she had lost her spiritual support.

After that, her grandfather and grandmother both passed away, and Bai Sheng was homeless for a long time.

Now that she suddenly had a family, she felt so happy that she was at a loss.

It was not that her expectations were too low, but rather, she could not imagine what her happiness would look like.

Wrapped tightly in the bathrobe, Bai Sheng walked out, only to find that a set of home clothes was neatly folded on the sofa, waiting for her.

From the kitchen came the sound of eggs being cooked.

She changed into her home clothes and approached the kitchen. She saw Gu Chengze holding a frying pan and spreading the eggs evenly.

"Eh? You know how to cook?"

Gu Chengze turned around upon hearing her voice. Seeing that she had woken up, he smiled and greeted her, "Morning."

"Morning!"

Bai Sheng walked into the kitchen and looked at the eggs in the pan. They were tender and white, and looked very appetizing.

Frying an egg is a very simple task, but it is also a test of skill to make tasty eggs.

"It's the first time I've seen a man in an apron."

Gu Chengze was wearing a snow-white t-shirt, long trousers, and an apron, but he didn't look out of place at all.

Instead, it was a heartwarming picture.

When Gu Chengze heard this, he laughed. "Is it that rare for a man to be cooking?"

"Of course it's rare! Did your parents nurture your culinary skills from the time you were a child?"

"Uh…"

Gu Chengze frowned slightly. "My father said that if a man doesn't know how to cook, he won't be able to get a wife."

"…"

Bai Sheng was dumbfounded.

"What's the matter?"

"My aunt says that girls who don't know how to cook won't be able to find themselves a husband."

"What about you?"

Gu Chengze sized her up. "Do you know how to cook?"

"A little!" Bai Sheng squeezed her fingers to gesture, "Just a little."
