Black Lotus - Chapter 23

Gu Yansheng frowned after his yell had no effect at all. Since he couldn’t pull his hand out either, he decided to let the head lean against him as it was.

He suddenly remembered what his mother told him in the study room: “As long as you spend more time with him, your opinion of him will change. Before you know it, you will start to get along with him.”

Looking down at the face resting on his shoulders, he saw that Wen Niannan looked different after falling asleep. The facial lines were softer and weaker than usual.

Which side is real and which side is fake?

The hair on Wen Niannan’s forehead was wet with cold sweat, so Gu Yansheng stretched out his hand and stroked the hair up, revealing an inch-wide scar on his forehead.

He gently touched the scar, and when he realized what he had done, he pushed the sleeping person away.

Wen Niannan’s head swung aside and hit the window, waking up frowning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Yansheng staring at him fiercely.

“You’re finally awake. Do you know what you have done just now?” An angry voice came from behind.

Wen Niannan, who had just woke up, was still a little confused, thinking that he seemed to be holding someone’s hand in his dream. He looked down at his hand, and then looked at the wrinkled part of the suit on Gu Yansheng’s shoulder.

Seeing that Wen Niannan’s face suddenly changed, he realized what he had done. Gu Yansheng closed the file in his hand and said with contempt in his eyes, “Here we go again. Just look at your pitiful and shameless face. It seems that your father must have given you some good ideas. Oh, such a filial son that always does what the daddy says.”

It was past ten o’clock when they got home. As Wen Niannan got off the car, he felt a little dizzy and unsteady.

Gu Yansheng, who was right beside him didn’t show any means to help him. After leaving a cold tare, Gu Yansheng walked in alone.

Hearing the sound of the car coming, Uncle Xu came out, glanced at Wen Niannan, and said asked Gu Yansheng, “Sir, are you going to stay here tonight?”

“Yeah.” After replying, he walked upstairs steadily to the study room.

Wen Niannan looked at Gu Yansheng’s fading back and opened his mouth to say nothing, but no words came out. Thinking that he had fallen asleep leaning on Gu Yansheng, he knew that Gu Yansheng probably thought he was faking it again.

Since a certain day that he couldn’t remember, he became reluctant to interact with Gu Yansheng. He was scared.

He didn’t know what Shen Luoan had said to Gu Yansheng which made Gu Yansheng hate him so much, so he could only try to avoid making him angry.

Walking in the house and passing by the study room, Wen Niannan stopped and stood there for a long time before entering his room.

He was lying on the bed but couldn’t sleep. Although he knew that Gu Yansheng would sleep in the study room and not return to the bedroom, he still hoped that it would happen.

Couldn’t fall asleep, he got out of bed and turned on the computer. After seeing a private message on the screen, he smiled slightly.

He has been uploading songs that he wrote on the internet. Although not many have been published, the ratings for each piece were good, and some of his fans would even be willing to pay a high price to commission a piece.

Since he hadn’t been composing for a while, a lot of notifications popped up as soon as he logged in. Those who left comments were fans who accompanied him since his early days, and questions about the next song appeared to be the most frequent.

Wen Niannan slowly scrolled down to read all the notifications and suddenly saw a private message from a group named GZ Music Studio in Nation Y. The studio wanted him to compose a song with high compensation.

This was not the first time he received an invitation from this studio. Wen Niannan wrote a song for GZ studio two years ago when he first became popular, but because the song was released abroad, he didn’t know how well the song was doing.

After replying to some of the comments, Wen Niannan logged out of the account. He checked the time and found that it was early in the morning. Feeling a little thirsty, he got up and went downstairs.
