Chapter 228: The Person from Back Then, It Was Him!

Bai Shunan did not intend to hide it either, saying directly, "It's Gu Yunting."

"Are you and him together again?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"No, he just keeps shamelessly insisting on bringing me meals."

Bai Shuruo said worriedly, "Sister, then you must not be as foolish as you were before. What if he still has that 'white moonlight' in his heart?"

Bai Shunan said, "He and Mo Wanqing are no longer in contact; I have seen this with my own eyes. He says he likes me now."

"Sister, the way you said that sounds just like those 'love-brained' people on the internet."

Bai Shunan let out a laugh, then pulled Bai Shuruo to the dining table, and while serving her porridge, said, "'Love-brained' refers to someone who gives up on themselves because they like a person, but love is something I love when I want to, and don't love when I don't want to. I don't think I've reached the 'love-brained' stage yet."

Bai Shuruo said discontentedly, "You just like him and can't let him go. As long as he comes back to find you, you'll immediately surrender."

"That's not quite it. He came to find me a few years ago, but I didn't pay him any mind and instead focused on my own career. This time, I'll treat it as getting to know him all over again. As for whether we can end up together, I'll leave it to fate."

"Then what about Ling Feng?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"I've always treated him as a friend. We agreed on that from the very beginning, and there's nothing between us. Aside from him occasionally joking about confessing his feelings, I have clearly rejected him every time."

"I don't understand you two, but Sister, this seafood porridge is really delicious," Bai Shuruo said while drinking the porridge.

Bai Shunan said, "Then you keep drinking first, I'll go call Xiaofeng over to have some too."

……

The next day, Bai Shunan went to work. Bai Shuruo was bored, so she took Xiaofeng back to Sunshine Garden.

"Mommy, is this our home too?"

Stopping at the door of 1601, Xiaofeng tugged at Bai Shuruo and asked in her little milky voice.

"Yes, this is our home too. It was the first home for Daddy and me."

"Is this house ours?"

"Yes, it is."

"Then why don't we live here?"

"If Xiaofeng wants to live here, that's fine too, but it depends on whether you like it."

Bai Shuruo then pressed the passcode, the door opened, and the familiar scene came into view.

The sofa was the place where she and Han Yangting used to watch movies together; he would also hold his laptop here to handle work, and the two of them would even do shameful things here.

In the small drawer of the coffee table, there would be the spicy strips she hadn't finished eating.

In the dining room not far away, there were often meals he had cooked for her, as well as the fruit juice he had squeezed for her.

"Mommy, this home is so big!" Xiaofeng ran back and forth inside excitedly.

Bai Shunan smiled.

This home must have been cleaned by hired help regularly; it was clean inside, things were arranged neatly, and even the equipment in the gym was polished until it shone.

Bai Shuruo looked at this gym equipment, thinking of the scenes of working out with him here in the past, and her heart couldn't help but thump again.

The feeling from before seemed to have returned.

"Mommy, where is your room?"

Bai Shuruo pointed to a room nearby. She opened the door and saw that it was still the same as before, though the quilts had been put away in the wardrobe, and the bed was empty.

"Mommy, did you and Daddy really live here before?"

"Of course," Bai Shuruo laughed.

"Then I want to take a nap here too."

"Alright, you take your nap here, and when you wake up, we'll go to Auntie's house."

"Can't I sleep here for a night?" Xiaofeng was not satisfied.

"That's possible, but if we do that, we won't be able to play with Auntie tonight."

"Then I'll just take a nap," Xiaofeng said, bouncing on the bed excitedly.

"Take off your shoes first, you little rascal," Bai Shuruo said, playing with Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng kicked off her shoes and then rolled around on the bed.

Bai Shuruo wanted to get a quilt for her.

Opening the wardrobe, she saw the quilt had been stored on the top shelf, so she moved a stool over to stand on it and reach it.

She was as careful as possible to avoid any accidents.

After throwing the quilt onto the bed, she saw a box of things on top of the wardrobe.

She really couldn't remember what this was, so she dragged the box out, opened the lid, and saw many little trinkets inside.

Weren't these the things she didn't want when she went back to the old mansion?

She remembered that when she went back at that time, she only packed a few things, and let Auntie Fen help throw the rest away, but how could these trinkets be here?

Did Auntie Fen send them over? Or did she accidentally pack them away herself?

"Mommy, are there toys?" Xiaofeng saw them too, and she wanted to look as well.

Bai Shuruo carefully moved it down, and then looked through it together with Xiaofeng.

"Mommy, what is this?"

"These are lucky stars, I think," Bai Shuruo said.

She must have folded them when she was in middle school, but she had forgotten.

"Mommy, what about this?"

"These are wish pills. Originally, I was going to find a place to bury them and dig them up after a certain amount of time, but for some reason, they weren't buried," Bai Shuruo said.

She opened a wish pill and saw a slip of paper inside.

This immature handwriting was indeed from her middle school days.

Inside was written a sentence: I hope that ten years from now, I can marry him.

That was when she was 14, right? 10 years later, that would be 24. By the time she was 24, she had already given birth to Han Yangting's child.

Then, is the "he" on the note Meng Ze?

"Mom, what is this again?" Xiaofeng asked.

Bai Shuruo saw Xiaofeng pull out an eyeglass case and open it; inside was a pair of sunglasses, which looked like they were for a man.

Xiaofeng was not interested in the sunglasses, so she went to dig for other things.

But after Bai Shuruo saw these sunglasses, a face suddenly flashed through her mind, a face that was also wearing sunglasses.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She held the sunglasses up to the window, and as the sunlight spilled in, it plated the sunglasses in a layer of golden light; this layer of golden light was like a key to time, and through the sunglasses, it continuously channeled memories from back then into Bai Shuruo's mind.

Bai Shuruo's expression gradually turned to shock.

That agile figure on the basketball court, that big brother sitting in the library reading books, and the person who rushed in front of her and took the mineral water bottle from her hand... it was him!
