Black Lotus

Cuckoo Cafe was rated as one of the most romantic restaurants in City M.

Tang Shuo had also visited all the surrounding restaurants to prepare for a rare date with Wen Niannan, and finally found this “romantic” restaurant thanks to a friend’s recommendation. 

After arriving at the restaurant, Wen Niannan still looked a little empty. Being the gentleman that he was, Tang Shuo helped Wen Niannan on the seat, grabbed the menu, and handed it to him.

“I found this music cafe after searching for a long time. The food here is splendid. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

Wen Niannan took the menu and observed the surrounding environment. He indeed liked the style here.

“The atmosphere here is perfect. You sure know me well. I like it very much.” 

After hearing the praise, Tang Shuo’s tail was almost up to the sky1An idiom to show one’s extreme excitement and happiness.

Raising his face with two small dimples, he blinked his eyes and said with a smile: “Haha, of course, what do you like to eat, Niannan, order whatever you want.”

Wen Niannan ordered a few signature dishes in the cafe and some desserts.

The food soon arrived at the tables. It looked very appetizing.

Under Tang Shuo’s hopeful gaze, Wen Niannan took a bite and said, “It’s delicious.”

Seeing Tang Shuo’s expression of immense joy he also laughed.

The two’s conversation also gradually became more casual. Tang Shuo kept talking about funny stories and jokes to make Wen Niannan happy. Looking at the smiling person in front of him, he felt very good in his heart.

“Niannan, I’m really happy now. I didn’t expect that we would meet again after so many years, and we would still sit face to face and chat like this.”

Seeing the bright smile in front of him,  Wen Niannan felt a little bit sorry for Tang Shuo. He couldn’t love him like this back.

“Thank you for inviting me to the concert and bringing me here for dinner. I haven’t been so happy like this for a long time. Tang Shuo, thank you so much, but… I’m already married.” Wen Niannan looked at Tang Shuo’s eyes with a grieved expression as he spoke.

Tang Shuo was a bit surprised but still said excitedly, “But I…I still like you very much. I will never forget you in my heart. You have had a bad experience in the past few years, right? The happy spirit inside you has disappeared.”

Wen Niannan opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Tang Shuo had already continued, “I heard a friend who told me about your wedding that year. When we met in the hospital, the injury on your head was from Gu Yansheng, right?”

Wen Niannan clenched his hands, turned his head when he felt the pain, and said, “No… I fell on the stairs, as I said before.”

Tang Shuo suddenly grabbed Wen Niannan’s hand and said, “Don’t speak for him, he is not worth your love. How about give me a chance? Even if I’m not as good, can I just stay by your side?”

“You let go first, Tang Shuo, let go, I feel uncomfortable.”

Wen Niannan struggled to pull his hand back as his body trembled.

But seeing Tang Shuo looking at him with red and hopeful eyes, he couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Wen Niannan finally said helplessly, “Alright alright, you can. Can you let go of my hand first? I feel really uncomfortable. If you continue…”

“Oh? When did you become so popular? Are you here cheating?”

Without a warning, a cold and angry voice came from behind. Wen Niannan was stunned and turned around slowly and met Gu Yansheng’s cold eyes.
