Black Lotus

Soon, he came back out, and his hair was back to its usual neatness.

Gu Yansheng tidied up his clothes and also went into the bathroom. Wen Niannan looked at the closed door behind him and went downstairs. 

After he was down, Uncle Xu saw him first and came to the stairway to help him, “Mr. Wen, how come you came down by yourself? Where is Mr. Gu?”

He’s using the bathroom and will come down soon. I’m hungry so I came down first.”

Lu Yun saw that Wen Niannan came down, she turned to Aunt Lan and said, “Aunt Lan, bring the soup over for Nian Nian.”

Zhou Yuanfeng quickly got up as well to give his seat to Wen Niannan. He asked, “Niannan, are you feeling better? Is there anywhere else that you are feeling uncomfortable?”

“Yeah, how are you feeling?” Lu Yun asked worriedly as well.

Seeing how caring mom and Zhou Yuanfeng were, Wen Niannan felt a little sourness in his nose and wetness in his eyes. He held back his tears as much as he could and said, “I’m much better now. My head is not hurting as much anymore.”

Don’t be so nice to me, or else it will hurt when I leave…

Lu Yun’s eyes flashed and said, “Did Gu Yansheng mess with Nian Nian again? Did he make you angry?”

Hearing Lu Yun’s words, Wen Niannan paused when he was eating and answered, “No, Gu Yansheng… he’s good, very good…”

Yeah…. he’s doing his best already…

“Nian Nian, quick, finish the soup. Mom told Aunt Lan to get this just for you. It’s healthy and nutritious. Look how thin you are.”

“Thank you, mom.”

Zhou Yuanfeng looked at his watch and saw that it wasn’t early anymore. After saying a few more words, he went to work.

Gu Yansheng suddenly came down from upstairs and sat down on a chair. Looking at the person beside him eating breakfast, his eyes flash a sense of disdain.

“Where’s Yuanfeng?”

“He went to work. Do you think everyone is as leisure as you are? If it wasn’t because of all the bullshit that you did, Yuanfeng wouldn’t have to work so hard,” his mom replied.

Gu Yansheng did not say anything. He looked down and ate the porridge in the bowl.

After finishing the soup Aunt Lan made from him, Wen Niannan placed down the bowl and chopsticks, “Mom, can I go outside and take a walk today?”

“Where is Nian Nian going? Let A Sheng go with you.”

“No… There’s no need. I just want to go out by myself.”

“Alright then. Are you sure you will be alright by yourself? It’s quite cold outside.” Lu Yun still wasn’t very assured to let Wen Niannan go out by himself. 

“Yeah, I’ll be fine ”

Wen Niannan got a call yesterday from Dr. Li asking him to go to the hospital tomorrow for another check-up.

At first,  he wanted to talk about what he wanted to do yesterday, but last night when Gu Yansheng suddenly appeared in his room, he forgot about it.

Gu Yansheng didn’t say anything. He just finished his food and went upstairs.

Standing in front of the windowsill watching the car slowly driving away, his eyes flashed a touch of puzzlement. Why did Wen Niannan suddenly want to go out…

When Wen Niannan came to the hospital with the eye-catching bandage on his head, Dr. Li was shocked.

“What happened to you? What got you this?”

“I want you to prescribe me some medicine. I really can’t control my emotions.” 

Back in his car, he threw the medicine on the passenger’s seat. Wen Niannan’s headache was getting worse. Recently he came to the hospital very frequently and hated the smell of disinfectant. 

Supporting the steering wheel for a long time, Wen Niannan finally started the car and left the hospital.

As he drove across Leqing Street, Wen Niannan stopped at that eye-catching studio. A sense of sadness flashed across his eyes. He didn’t get out of his car and was about to step on the gas.

“Haha, right. I thought so too. Brother, don’t you like it?”

Then can more of the familiar laughter from behind. Wen Niannan’s body stiffened and started the car to leave this place in a hurry. 

Tang Shuo reorganized the new instruments he bought and renovated the studio. He invited his brother over to take a look.

Many times when Tang Lunxuan came, he always got preoccupied with company business. Today when Tang Lunxuan came past Leqing Street after signing a contract, Tang Shuo didn’t give up the chance to show him around.

Tang Lunxuan only took a few glances before he found out what was wrong. He smiled helplessly and pushed his glasses back, “Do you like this style better or that style?”

“Haha… uh… really? I like this style a lot.”

After taking a walk, Tang Lunxuan was about to return to his company, and Tang Shuo sent his brother all the way to his car.”What do you think, brother?”

Tang Lunxuan frowned, “Not something that you usually like to do. It felt much quieter than usual.”

“Haha, I thought so too. Don’t you like it?”

Tang Shuo wanted to say something else, but suddenly, he saw a familiar car in front of him.

His face was full of surprise, and his eyes grew large.

That is… Niannan’s car… Niannan’s here.

“I felt like…” Tang Lunxuan was about to answer until he saw that Tang Shuo dashed forward with full speed.

“Tang Shuo! Tang Shuo, where are you going.” Tang Lunxuan walked over puzzled.

Wen Niannan was about to accelerate, but in front of his car suddenly appeared a man, making him step on the brakes in a hast. Looking up… the person was Tang Shuo.

Author’s Notes:

Like what I promised earlier…

Nian Nian’s revenge on Shen Luoan and Gu Scum is coming very soon!

After they divorced, how about let’s witness Gu Scum eat blades every day? How fun would that be?
