Chapter 556: 556 The child is gone (3)_1
Just like scenes from a TV show, the door to a hidden room was opened. Standing there, Eleven was dumbfounded, surprised by the spectacle that unfolded before her eyes.
She thought...
Situations like this only happened in TV dramas, not in reality. She never expected such a secret chanism to exist in real life!
Perhaps because the place was familiar to her, Eleven did not find it scary to venture beyond the hidden door and instinctively walked in.
She only found it strange: why would Gu Liancheng construct a hidden room in his house? Was there so secret he wanted to keep hidden from the world?
Normally, there would be dead bodies or other fearso items concealed in such places...
He wouldn’t possibly be hiding such things in the comfort of his own ho, right?
With a whirlwind of thoughts, Eleven stepped in. She covered her eyes and blindly reached for the light switch. Then, with cautious anticipation, she removed her hand slowly.
The room was not large, maybe around twenty to thirty square ters. The first thing that crossed her eyes was a shelf, and to the right was an open window. To the left...
Seeing what was there, Eleven suddenly halted in her tracks.
These were...
A string was hung from the left wall to the right, with several photographs clipped to it. In her layman’s terms, she could only describe them as picturesque, and visually attractive.
She had never envisioned seeing Gu Liancheng in his teens.
He was a dash of youthful energy with an innocent charm that certainly would not exist later on, making a simple white T-shirt look exceptional, sitting joyously under the sunny grassland.
This was definitely an image that, let alone her, no one else had ever seen!
Did he also once experience such youthful days?
The next few photos were of him and Wen Qianxi, taken from various angles; each one bore a radiant smile that brightened anyone’s mood.
She rembered the phrase: "She used to be part of his world."
And then she left in a hurry?
Each photo had a specific date written on it. After doing so quick calculations, Eleven figured out that the span was from when he was fifteen until he turned twenty.
In that case, he and Wen Qianxi were together for five years?
Approximately...
It was his first love, huh?
Ugh!
He had the audacity to chide her for budding romance when he himself was in a relationship at the age of fifteen. Hypocrite!
Upon witnessing all this, Eleven didn’t feel any jealousy or resentnt. She found everything beautiful. After all, who doesn’t have a youthful romance they reminisce about? These photos are ntos of his past, just as when she recalls being fifteen, she thinks of Jin Xiangbei.
Although so people have exited her life and world, they linger in a corner of her mory, impossible to remove and not intended to be removed. These mories belong to her and have nothing to do with anyone else.
His ti with Wen Qianxi reminded her of her own past with Jin Xiangbei. They both seed destined for a lifelong journey but ended up rely crossing paths, becoming fleeting figures in their lives.
She wondered: what kind of pain had he endured?
After appreciating these mories, Eleven noticed a small tin box on the table. Prepared to sneak a peek to satisfy her curiosity, the sudden ringing of her phone startled her.
Seeing that it was Gu Liancheng, she nervously left the room, closing the secret door behind her. Then she nonchalantly answered her phone: "Hello?"
On the other end, amid weak coughs, a grievous voice spoke: "Gu Qianxun! I’m thirsty! I’ve been calling you for ages! Is this how you take care of a sick person, leaving them unattended? You’re totally shirking your responsibilities!"
