Black Lotus

Uncle Xu came down from upstairs and stooped slightly to greet Zhou Yuanfeng, “Master Yuanfeng, your room is ready. ”

“Okay, thank you, Uncle Xu. ”

Zhou Yuanfeng put away his computer and stood up. As he walked past Gu Yansheng, he patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely, “Like what I said, try to understand him, he is not what you think. ”

Gu Yansheng turned to look at Zhou Yuanfeng’s back with a pair of empty eyes.

He was the only person left in the living room, and after a while, he too stood up to go upstairs.

As he walked, the lights in the hallway automatically opened, and Gu Yansheng stopped after he reached the door.

Click. The door opened from the inside and Wen Niannan appeared behind the door looking very surprised to see Gu Yansheng in front of him.

“What are you…what are you doing here ”

Gu Yansheng looked up at the person in front of him. He did not open his mouth but went in with a cold face.

Wen Niannan walked to his bed with support against the wall. Confused, he asked, “Tonight… are you planning to stay here? ”

Did mom ask him to take care of me?

“Shut up! ”

As if he was exposed to his secrets, Gu Yansheng’s face changed, and he walked onto the balcony and slammed the glass door behind him.

Wen Niannan stared at the person on the balcony and laughed self-deprecatingly. 

What are you hoping for? Why would you ever come into your room willingly? Wen Niannan, have you still not figured out who you actually are?

Wen Niannan’s eyes darkened, and he slipped into his quilt silently.

Perhaps it was because of the headache, or perhaps it was because he woke up too early today, Wen Niannan fell asleep soon after he got on the bed.

It was past midnight, and the temperature outside dropped drastically. With a breeze of cold wind, Gu Yansheng shivered and went back into the room.

Seeing that Wen Niannan was sound asleep, he was even madder. He walked to the edge of the bed and was about to wake the person up, but he suddenly heard Wen Niannan say something very quietly.

Gu Yansheng paused… Wen Niannan called for his name just then.

A complicated look appeared on his face. He stared at the person on the bed for a long time before going into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

As the sound of the water stopped in the bathroom, Gu Yansheng walked out and sat on the other side of the bed.

Everything that had happened today gave him a headache. Thinking that he had to take care of Wen Niannan for the next period of time made him feel even more irritated. He rubbed his temple and went to the sofa to rest.

The morning sun shone through the glass window and onto the sleeping man on the sofa.

The man’s eyes moved and opened. His eyes were filled with irritation.

Gu Yansheng rubbed his head and sat up. Suddenly remembering where he was, he looked at the person on the bed.

Wen Niannan was still sleeping quietly. His hair was slightly curled up, and he looked very well-behaved as he slept.

Gu Yansheng walked over and looked at the person who looked very different from usual after falling asleep. Subconsciously, he reached out and touched the soft-looking curly hair.

“Hmm…”

The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yansheng. They both paused for a moment.

The first thing that Wen Niannan saw was Gu Yansheng’s face inches away, and after he saw that Gu Yansheng’s hand was reaching over, his head fully woke up from sleep. He fearfully pushed the hand away.

“Don’t touch me! ”

With a bang, the person rolled down from the bed.

“Ouchh…”

The person that fell onto the floor froze, then his face immediately darkened, and suddenly stood up to fight back.

“Wen Niannan, what the fuck are you doing? Are you crazy?! ”

Wen Niannan clutched tight onto the blanket and looked at Gu Yansheng with a face full of fear. He said in a low voice as he looked down, “I… I thought you were about to hit me… I forgot you are in my room.”

“You! ”

Knock, knock, knock… Someone knocked from outside of the room’s door.

Gu Yansheng’s furious eyes looked away from Wen Niannan and asked angrily toward the door, “Who is it?”

“Sir, are you awake? The lady wants me to call you two down for breakfast. ”

Hearing no reply, Uncle Xu was confused. He clearly heard the voice of the two just then, so they must have been awake.

Uncle Xu knocked a few more times but was stopped by a loud roar from inside the room.

“Get lost! ”

Uncle Xu’s hand stopped in mid-air. He was more puzzled than ever, but he still left after a while.

In the room, Wen Niannan didn’t dare to look into Gu Yansheng’s scary eyes. He hopped off the bed and went to the bathroom, leaving the person pissing off beside the balcony.
