Black Lotus

Wen Niannan slowly opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Gu Yansheng. His hand was trembling and the bandage got loose and blood came back out…

Gu Yansheng was a little surprised. It looked like the person on the bed was indeed quite weak. He returned to the chair beside the bed and sat down.

Wen Niannan’s eyes were in a daze and he curled up on the bed.

“My head hurts, I want to sleep…”

His voice was tiny as if he was afraid of something that would be disturbed by his voice.

Gu Yansheng looked at the bandage loosened above Wen Niannan’s eyes and felt that he might have done too much, so he slowly took up the bowl on the table.

“Come on, finish the porridge and I’ll fix your bandage again.”

Wen Niannan stared at the bowl in front of him and finally decided to finish the porridge despite the pain.

Seeing the blow was finally empty, Wen Niannan wanted to lie back down, but Gu Yansheng stopped him.

“Wait a minute, I still need to redo the bandage.”

Gu Yansheng brought over the first aid box and took out the rubbing alcohol and bandage.

While being treated, Wen Niannan sat obediently on the bed, looking at Gu Yansheng’s face inches away, patiently treating his wound. His heart was moved.

How nice would it be if you are always so kind?

Gu Yansheng put away the first aid kit and stood up, “Alright, since the porridge is finished, I have done my job.”

Then, he took the empty bowl and left the person sitting on the bed in a daze.

As soon as he got to the first floor, he saw that Zhou Yuanfeng and Lu Yun were already sitting at the dinner table. The two of them also looked at him as he walked down.

Lu Yuan only took a quick glance before she looked away and started eating.

“Humm… sir… Sorry. I wanted to call you, but the old lady said that I shouldn’t disturb you.” Fearing that Gu Yansheng might get mad because she didn’t call him for dinner, Aunt Lan immediately explained. 

Gu Yansheng didn’t say anything. He walked to the kitchen, tossed the dishes into the sink, and then sat down in front of the dinner table.

“Did Nian Nian eat yet? Did you feed him?”

“Of course, how would I not dare to feed him.”

“Then continue tomorrow. From now on, I will ask Aunt Lan to make some porridge for Nian Nian and you will bring it up to feed her. This will continue until his body fully recovers.” 

“Humph, with his porcelain-like body? He’ll never recover. Every day, he’s either uncomfortable here or there.”

Lu Yun slammed her chopsticks onto the table and said angrily, “Gu Yansheng, can’t you take care of him like a normal husband? He’s a patient, a patient who needs care.” 

“No.”

“Don’t think that I don’t know you have been living separately with Nian Nian every day.”

“You want me to live with Wen Niannan?” Gu Yansheng looked at Lu Yun as if she was crazy.

“What? You don’t want to? Aren’t you a couple? Plus, right now he needs extra care. Don’t forget who it was who caused him to be like this.”

Gu Yansheng wanted to refute, but he suddenly remembered Wen Niannan’s eyes filled with tears. He didn’t continue.

Seeing that Lu Yun didn’t argue with her, she was a little surprised and looked back at Zhou Yuanfeng. Zhou Yuanfeng nodded and didn’t say anything.

Lu Yun finished eating and went to the study room. Uncle Xu went up and cleaned out two guest rooms while Zhou Yuanfeng was staring into the computer, frowning.

Seeing Gu Yansheng was just sitting beside him and not talking, Zhou Yuanfeng asked, “What’s wrong? You seem different.”

“Does he always cough when he smells smoke?”

The hands typing stopped, and Zhou Yuanfeng asked, “What do you mean?”

“I started smoking well before we married, but how come this is the first time I heard him cough?”

Seeing that Gu Yansheng was doubting if Wen Niannan was faking it again, Zhou Yuanfeng stopped what he was working on and slapped Gu Yansheng lightly on the head, “Gu Yansheng, are you an idiot? He knows that you like to smoke, so he has always tried his best to not cough in front of you.”

Zhou Yuanfeng just couldn’t understand how a business talent like Gu Yansheng would be so stubborn when dealing with relationships.

“It’s getting late, you should go and accompany Niannan for a while.”

Gu Yansheng turned his face as he heard this. He wanted to avoid Wen Niannan as much as possible, so he chose to stay in the living room. He became a little irritated.
