Black Lotus

Gu Yansheng quickly walked upstairs but stopped at the door as he listened to the sound of the piano being played.

Looking at the familiar person’s back, he suddenly recalled when he saw Shen Luoan was playing piano and waiting for him to return home.

He took a step forward and said blankly, “Luoan?”

It wasn’t until the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end that Gu Yansheng came back to his senses. He was annoyed that he was finding Wen Niannan’s playing to be enjoyable.

“Who allowed you to touch that piano?”

Wen Niannan, startled by Gu Yansheng’s angry voice and jumped up in surprise.

Gu Yansheng walked over with a gloomy face and pushed Wen Niannan away.

“Who told you that you can touch it? You don’t have any right to touch it! Do you want me to destroy it?”

Wen Niannan had never seen any expression so terrifying. He explained in a hurry, “I’m sorry, I don’t know that it is so important to you, I…”

“Shut up, people like you are not qualified to play on it. Disgusting!”

Wen Niannan stood there with a pale face, and suddenly remembered the two letters that he saw just now…LS…

It turned out that this was Shen Luoan’s piano, no wonder he was so serious about it.

Gu Yansheng remembered the piano he saw in the living room downstairs, and said harshly, “Are you the one that brought the piano in downstairs? A person like you that cheats off other people’s work will always be a disgraceful outsider!”

“…This is original.” Wen Niannan’s voice trembled a bit, unable to believe what he heard.

Who did I cheat the music from? Shen Luoan?

Gu Yansheng grabbed Wen Niannan’s collar and looked at the shirt he was holding in his hand. He asked fiercely, “How dare you to say that you are not cheating your ideas off of him! Where did you get this shirt from? Who allowed you to wear this?”

“I found this in my room’s closet. I’m not sure how it got there.”

The shirt was placed in his closet on the first day he came here. He thought it was Gu Yansheng who prepared it for him, so he wore it happily, not realizing that this was Shen Luoan’s.

Listening to Wen Niannan’s perpetual lies, Gu Yansheng even more loathsome.

“Go and put away the piano you brought, and you are not allowed to play the piano again in the future! You are never qualified enough! Understand?

“Niannan?” Tang Shuo’s voice drew him back from his memories.

“Huh? What’s the matter?”

“Don’t you want to try it out?” Tang Shuo looked at him curiously.

“There’s no need. I’d rather not bother the clerk, and I don’t want to play right now.” After that, he reluctantly turned and walked away.

Suddenly someone grabbed his hand, and he quickly broke free instinctively.

“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I forgot that you don’t like to be touched.” Tang Shuo quickly apologized and scratched his head embarrassedly.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to apologize.”

“Niannan, would you like to come to the music studio I run? It’s not far away from here.”

“No, I should go back.”

“I bought a batch of musical instruments a few days ago. There is a piano made by the famous pianist Robert from Nation F. Do you want to go check it out?”

Wen Niannan didn’t speak, and it took a long time before Tang Shuo heard the reply he wanted.

“Sure.”

Tang Shuo knew that Wen Niannan liked the pianist very much. He spent all his savings to bid this piano from auction, and the rest of the instruments were all purchased with borrowed money from his brother.

But when he saw Wen Niannan’s eyes flashing as they went to see the piano, he knew that it would be worth the price.
