Gu Zhaohan had already walked in.
He was wearing a white shirt, always carrying a black shoulder bag, hanging on his shoulder.
Outside the auditorium, there was a setting sun.
He entered, stepping on the remaining light of the sunset, not rushing nor slow, his cool demeanor revealing a fascinating laziness.
Several girls in the auditorium swooned at the same time, “He is so handsome.” Xia Yangyang’s heart leapt with joy, and she said to Gu Zhaohan, “You’re here.” Gu Zhaohan responded in a cold voice, “Didn’t you say the rehearsal begins today?”
The rehearsal officially started.
When they came out dressed in ancient costumes, everyone started seeing stars again.
My God, Gu Zhaohan looked too handsome in ancient costume.
The rehearsal went smoothly, because everyone had become quite familiar with the script thanks to the previous selection.
When the rehearsal was about to end, Hua Qingqing came off the stage and took out her SLR camera with a click.
Gu Zhaohan suddenly lost control. As if he couldn’t stand, he crouched down, clutching his head like he was panicking, almost growling coldly, “Stop taking pictures!”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They had no idea what had happened.
Hua Qingqing was also scared, at a loss of what to do.
It was Xia Yangyang who reacted, she had previously asked Gu Qichen why there were no photos of Gu Zhaohan growing up at home.
Gu Qichen had said that Gu Zhaohan had a phobia of cameras.
At that time, Xia Yangyang hadn’t asked in detail, she just thought the problem was strange.
But Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected that it was true.
It took Gu Zhaohan a while to calm down.
Gu Zhaohan then said, “I’m sorry, but could you not take pictures next time?” Hua Qingqing responded, “But there will definitely be a lot of people taking pictures on campus festival day. If you can’t handle this, how are you going to perform?”
On the way home.
Gu Zhaohan and Xia Yangyang were walking one in front of the other.
The Gu mansion was not far from the school, about half an hour’s walk.
Xia Yangyang had originally planned to take a taxi home.
But seeing Gu Zhaohan pushing his bicycle and not riding it, she quietly followed behind him.
What Hua Qingqing had just said apparently hit Gu Zhaohan hard.
After dinner, Xia Yangyang dragged Gu Qichen into her room and asked,
“What’s the story with Gu Zhaohan’s camera phobia?”
Gu Qichen frowned and said, “He was kidnapped as a child. At that time, the kidnapper took a lot of photos to threaten the Xi family. That’s where his psychological shadow started.”
Xia Yangyang was shocked: “Then that means he really is the son of Xi Jiachen, the richest man in Asia.”
Actually, there had been a lot of rumors about Gu Zhaohan’s biological father. The most official version was that the young master of the Gu family was the child of Xi Jiachen, the wealthiest man in Asia, and Gu Mingzhu.
Xi Jiachen was a womanizer and had already married three times.
His marriage with Gu Mingzhu was quite low-profile at the time, so not many people knew about it.
But now Xia Yangyang knew that Gu Mingzhu was Xi Jiachen’s second wife.
Gu Zhaohan was the legitimate third son of the Xi family.
It was said that Xi Jiachen had always wanted to bring Gu Zhaohan back, but
Gu Mingzhu strongly opposed.
Reflecting on this, Xia Yangyang asked, “Isn’t there a solution to this camera phobia?”
Gu Qichen said: “We have tried many times since he was a child, and we have also invited several psychologists. The impact of this on him is too great. Xiao Han’s cold and closed personality is also influenced by that incident to some extent.”
At this point, Gu Qichen wore a face of regret.
That year, he was 13, Gu Zhaohan was 6. That day he took Gu Zhaohan to the amusement park, and then…
Xia Yangyang held Gu Qichen’s hand: “You can’t blame yourself, you shouldn’t be so self-reproaching. After all, at that time, you were just a child yourself..”
