Chapter 155 - 156: Fear of Camera
Gu Shengyuan said, “I’ve just discussed your wedding with Mr. Xia. Since you’ve already gotten your marriage license, you should get the wedding done as soon as possible.”
Gu Qichen spoke up, “I’ve already discussed this matter with Yangyang. Once she graduates, we will hold the wedding.”
This was also what Xia Yangyang had in mind, as she was still a student after all.
Xia Yangyang spoke, “Let’s wait until after I graduate to have the wedding. I’m about to start my senior year, and my studies are going to get very busy.”
While her classes weren’t that many, Xia Yangyang had to start writing her thesis. The subject she chose was quite complex. Moreover, she was currently still filming, so she didn’t really have time to prepare for a wedding.”
Not to mention, thinking about the grandeur and attention that a Gu family wedding would have, Xia Yangyang felt it better to postpone it if possible.
In the end… she just wasn’t ready yet.
Gu Shengyuan thought for a moment and said, “Since both of you have thought it through, there’s no need to rush.”
After Xia Liangdong gave a few more pieces of advice, he left.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen were staying at the Gu residence that night.
Gu Qichen was indeed very busy, still dealing with business affairs in the study late into the night.
Xia Yangyang was in her room, flipping through a photo album she had casually picked up from the bookshelf.
All the photos in there were from Gu Qichen’s childhood.
As expected, people who look good now were already good-looking when they were kids.
Almost all the photos in the album were of Gu Qichen and his sister Gu Mingzhu together.
Everyone knew that Gu Qichen had a very deep attachment to this sister. You could see it just by looking at these photos.
Gu Qichen had quietly entered the room at some point and had come over, asking, “You’re not asleep yet? What are you looking at?”
By the time Xia Yangyang looked up, Gu Qichen was already sitting next to her, his hands were wrapped around her, with his chin resting on her shoulder.
It was clear that he was very tired, but he was still forcing himself to stay awake and talk to her.
Xia Yangyang said, “I’m looking at your childhood photos. You looked so delicate as a child, just like a little girl.”
Gu Qichen smiled slightly, “Are you complimenting or teasing me?”
“Of course I’m complimenting you.”
Xia Yangyang pulled out a picture; it seemed to have been taken when Gu Qichen was five or six, possibly at some gathering. He was wearing a small suit, looking serious. Although he was still a child then, his mature demeanor was similar to his present self.
Xia Yangyang said, “Give me this photo, I want to keep it as a souvenir.”
Gu Qichen leaned in towards Xia Yangyang’s ear, “Why? So you can miss me when you see it?”
Xia Yangyang’s face flushed, and when she turned her head, she almost brushed against his face. “I just purely find it cute.”
“Alright, stop explaining. I already know how much you like me.”
Xia Yangyang:”…”
As Xia Yangyang continued flipping through the album, she asked, “Why are there only photos of you and your sister in here, but none of Gu Zhaohan?”
Mentioning this, Gu Qichen frowned slightly.
Gu Qichen said, “He doesn’t like taking pictures. He has a fear of cameras.”
Fear of cameras?
This was the first time Xia Yangyang had heard of such a weird term.
Gu Qichen said, “This is due to some things that happened in his childhood. It’s been many years, but…”
Gu Qichen’s expression became serious, and there was a flicker of guilt and pain in his eyes, as if he were immersed in a memory of the past.
Xia Yangyang did not press further and changed the subject: “By the way, why is Oscar named Oscar?”
Gu Qichen did not expect Xia Yangyang to switch topics so quickly, causing him to pause for a moment.
“I’m talking about the golden retriever.”
Gu Qichen’s eyes changed for a moment before he nonchalantly replied, “I just picked it randomly. It’s just a name, why are there so many questions?”
Before Xia Yangyang could speak, Gu Qichen said, “It’s late, let’s sleep.”
Xia Yangyang nodded, put away the album, lay down, and went to sleep..’
