Black Lotus - Chapter 79.2

“Don’t… Don’t lock me in the basement… please…” A drop of tear landed on his leg.

Basement?

Gu Yansheng looked at the trembling person and at the bandage on the person’s head. He released his hand.

As Wen Niannan fell onto the floor, Gu Yansheng wanted to help subconsciously, but before his hand reached there, he stopped.

After a moment of hesitation, he still lifted that person and threw him onto the sofa.

Wen Niannan was still trembling on the sofa. Remembering what Dr. Li said, he took deep breaths to calm himself down.

The fear in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Gu Yansheng was a little dazed. He didn’t want him but just felt awful seeing how different Wen Niannan treated him compared to Zhou Yuanfeng.

“I won’t lock you in the basement, why are you so reactive? Being a psycho?”

Wen Niannan wiped away his tears, and the fear gradually faded, but he still didn’t speak.

Gu Yansheng, irritated, walked to the balcony, and as he was about to light a cigarette, he glanced at the time on his watch.

Suddenly remembering the person under the spotlight tonight, he then looked at the trembling person on the sofa…

“I want to go back to my room.” A small voice came from behind.

Gu Yansheng paused for a moment and asked, “What?”

“I… I’m tired, and I want to go back to my room.”

“Just go back then, why are you asking me for permission?” His voice was full of discontent.

Wen Niannan glanced at the person on the balcony and smiled bitterly while going upstairs.

“Wait, I’m going up with you.”

Then, Gu Yansheng threw the cigarette in his hand to the trash can and said, “I’m tired too, and I’m also going back to the room.”

Then, disregarding the person beside the sofa, he walked onto the staircase.

Wen Niannan stared blankly at Gu Yansheng’s back for a while and didn’t move.

“What are you standing there for? Not going back to the room anymore?” Gu Yansheng asked impatiently from the stairs.

Wen Niannan finally came back to his senses and approached carefully, keeping at least several steps of the distance between them.

Opening the door, the two of them went in. Wen Niannan sat down on the bed and looked at the person still at the door.

Gu Yansheng also glanced at him and said, “Get me a change of clothes, I’m going to take a bath.”

“A… bath?”

Hearing that he would be taking a bath here, Wen Niannan was a little surprised, “Don’t you always bathe in the guestroom? How come today…”

“I just want you to get me a change of clothes. I don’t need you to ask me where I’m going.” His voice was full of impatience.

Your clothes are in the other cabinet to the left. “

Gu Yansheng went to get his clothes himself and slammed the door behind him as he went into the bathroom.

When Gu Yansheng changed into his pajamas and returned from the bathroom, he noticed that the room was extremely quiet. His hand drying his air stopped as he walked.

The person on the bed was already asleep, and the light shown on his face made him look extremely fragile.

Gu Yansheng walked up and bent down trying to close the light.

However, just as the light closed, the person sleeping woke up all of a sudden, looking up at him with fear.

“You… What are you doing?” Wen Niannan asked alertly.

Gu Yansheng humphed and said, “It’s your turn to use the bathroom now. I just want to remind you.”

Wen Niannan sat up and rubbed his neck that was slightly sore from his neck. Looking at the lamp that got closed, he grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom.

After the door got locked, Wen Niannan signed in relief. Wiping away the mist on the mirror, he was a little surprised to see the bandages on his forehead as he gently touched it.

Coming out of the bathroom, Wen Niannan’s eyes felt sore, and he was surprised to see what he saw on the bed.

Gu Yansheng was sitting on the bed looking at his laptop… He didn’t sit on the sofa like previously. Wen Niannan felt like he didn’t know what to do.

Gu Yansheng looked up at the person standing there in front of the bathroom and said coldly, “What are you looking at? Aren’t you tired?”

“Are you going to sleep here tonight?”

“What? Do you want to sleep on the sofa? If you don’t, then just shut up and sleep.”

Wen Niannan put down the towel in his hand and lay down. His body was still stiff, and he was still terrified.

The sound of keyboard typing came from behind him, and Wen Niannan couldn’t help thinking a little extra, soon losing the sleepiness he had before.

Gu Yansheng pulled over his headphones and clicked play. The familiar music sounded beside his ears. It was as if W.E.’s music was a living creature, containing the ups and downs of the musician’s mind.

Even after listening to it countless times, he still wanted to praise its beauty. When he first heard it, he really wanted to meet the person who could play the piano well to such an extreme.

But today, he heard the sound from the piano that was on the same level as W.E.

Gu Yansheng turned to look at the person beside him with the back turned to him, and a mysterious look entered his eyes.

With a stiff body, Wen Niannan stared at the lamp on the nightstand. After a while, the keyboard typing sound suddenly stopped, and with some subtle movements from the other side of the bed, the blanket was tugged over a little.

He didn’t dare to move his body or even breathe.

“Stop pretending, I know you are awake. Did water get into your wound?” Gu Yansheng suddenly broke the silence in the room.

“No, I avoided it.”

“Ok, that’s good, or else I would need to help you with the bandages again.”

Wen Niannan’s hand beside the bed tightened, and his look became empty.
