Gu Luo said doubtfully, took the photo album from Luo Shuning and looked at it carefully.
After confirming that the immature little boy in the photo was himself, he asked in surprise and confusion: "...This is indeed me, but when was it taken?"
Hearing this, Luo Shuning, who was leaning in Gu Luo's arms, had her pupils shrink, and her heart began to beat wildly, as if there were millions of drumsticks beating it.
Because the little girl in the black dress and quiet smile in the photo was not herself, but Luo Shuhe.
At this moment, fragments of the past came flooding in like a tide, drowning her in the deep sea of memory.
Finally, I understood why Shu He behaved so abnormally when she first met Gu Luo on the train - the sister who was always cold and reserved suddenly had a look of stubbornness and haggardness in her eyes, and she asked for his contact information almost stubbornly, fearing that he would disappear like the wind.
Luo Shuning felt dizzy, and some memories that she had deliberately buried were ruthlessly torn open at this moment.
That summer, she naturally won the first place in the competition again, and finally got to go abroad with her father to see her mother.
Luo Shuhe and Luo Shuling were sent to their grandmother's home in the countryside.
The scene in her memory was frighteningly clear—before leaving, she had deliberately boasted about her trip abroad in front of Luo Shuhe, waving her plane ticket in front of her sister.
But Luo Shuhe remained indifferent. He just quietly flipped through the book in his hand without even raising his eyelids.
On the last day, she finally lost control.
Under the sycamore tree in the community, he pushed Luo Shuhe hard.
My sister was caught off guard and fell to the ground, and her black dress was immediately covered with dust.
But even so, Luo Shuhe just slowly got up, gently patted the hem of her skirt, and then looked at her with a look that she would never forget - there was no anger in that look, only deep, almost compassionate sympathy.
Luo Shuning will never forget that look in her life.
And I regretted countless times what I did to my sister that summer.
But time cannot be reversed.
After the summer vacation, when she came back from abroad, the lively Shu Ling surrounded her like a little sparrow and told her all the interesting things in the countryside.
Most of the stories revolve around a special little boy.
Luo Shuning wanted to recall the details of what Luo Shuling had said at that time, but it was too long ago and he couldn't remember them at all.
All we know is that this little boy is very important to Luo Shuhe, and the two seem to have made a precious promise.
Due to some reasons, neither of them had the chance to say goodbye.
Luo Shuning wanted to recall more details, but the long river of time had already washed away those memories.
The current situation is that Shu He recognized Gu Luo at first sight, but Gu Luo did not recognize her.
䥍——Why has Shu He never mentioned this matter?
And when Gu Luo reacts, he will definitely want to find out about the photo. How should I answer?
Tell the truth?
That would be equivalent to pushing Gu Luo towards Shu He.
Luo Shuning didn't want any accidents to happen before Sunday.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, and her nails unconsciously dug into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped marks on her delicate skin.
Before Gu Luo could ask, he pretended to be calm and asked ambiguously:
"Xiaobao, do you still remember this photo?"
Gu Luo was still trying to recall, and after hearing this, he replied somewhat awkwardly: "Ahem... Sorry, I really can't remember..."
After a pause, he quickly explained, "Well... I was a bit of a middle school kid when I was little, and I was also the leader of the kids, so I knew a lot of friends... But at that time, Xiao Man was not in good health, so all my focus was on her... There are really not many childhood playmates I can remember..."
"So, when was this filmed? And the little girl in it is..."
Hearing this, Luo Shuning felt his heart almost jumping out of his chest, but he still forced himself to suppress the emotions that surged in his heart, raised his head, and smiled gently:
"Xiaobao...long time no see."
At the same time, she was experiencing a tsunami in her heart:
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
These "apologies" are like heavy hammers, hitting my conscience.
She really didn't want any accidents to happen. Since Shu He chose to remain silent, she would just keep things stable for the time being.
After officially confirming her relationship with Gu Luo on Sunday and everything being in place, she would formally apologize and forcefully say that she just wanted to make a joke to tease him, and that she would confess in two days.
For now...this is the only way.
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
'sorry. '
... ...
"It's Shu Ning." Gu Luo was delighted, feeling this was fate. He quickly asked, "I grew up in Caixin County. Dabao, when did you come? We even took a photo."
"I can't quite remember. I think it was taken when I went back to my grandma's house." Luo Shuning's smile was impeccable, but her voice was slightly tense.
"Shu He should have been there at the time, which is why she insisted on getting your contact information. She must have thought it was fate to meet her childhood playmate."
"I'm sorry, Xiaobao, I didn't recognize you at the time. I'm not as good as Shu He in this respect."
She had to be generous and proactive in bringing up Shu He, because Gu Luo would definitely think in that direction.
"Ah.....So that's how it is.....I was thinking."
Gu Luo suddenly understood and thought to himself, no wonder Luo Shuhe was so strange and abnormal at the beginning, so this is how it is.
