Black Lotus - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Are you trying to hug me?

After Wen Niannan’s injury had healed a bit, he decided to leave the bed and walk around. While Uncle Xu was out, he decided that he should go out and walk around.

Wen Niannan leaned against the wall to rest for a bit as his body was still aching. Who knew that he already felt dizzy after only walking two steps.

“Um..”

“Little brother, please be careful. Are you okay?” A sweet voice asked playfully.

Wen Niannan opened his eyes only to see the person who was helping him laugh with a bright face and dimples on both sides of his cheeks. His stare left a questioning impression.

Once he recovered, he hurriedly pushed away from the hand that was helping him up, only to fall back again.

“I just told you to be careful. Are you trying to hug me, little brother?” Wen Niannan tried to shove away the hand that was holding his waist. “Let go.”

Tang Shuo came to visit a friend in the hospital. As he was about to leave, he met Wen Niannan who was staggering and caught him as he was about to fall down.

“Will you be able to stand once I let go? Hmm?” Tang Shuo teased the man whose expression slowly turned into an embarrassment.

“I told you to let go, let go of me!” Wen Niannan began to tremble and pushed away from the unknown man’s hand with force.

Realizing that something was wrong, Tang Shuo loosened his hold, only to see the man slide down on the ground shaking constantly, and suddenly glanced at him with horror.

Tang Shuo was stunned for a bit when he recognized that familiar face, and then expressed with joy, “Wen Niannan?! It is you. I haven’t seen you for so long. I didn’t expect to meet you here, do you still remember me?”

Wen Niannan back against the wall slowly stopped trembling. He stood up and looked at the person who was staring at him excitedly. Looking at the two sweet dimples, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

I remember. It was the young master of the Tang Family who confessed to him in front of the whole school when they were in high school. But he was head-over-heels for Gu Yansheng that he immediately rejected him, but Tang Shuo never gave up pursuing him, and then lost contact after they graduated high school.

“Young Master Tang, how could I not remember?” Wen Niannan said with a smile.

“Haha, don’t call me that. Just call me Tang Shuo.” Tang Shuo scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

“By the way, what happened with your head?”

“Nothing. I accidentally fell and hit my head on the edge of the table.” Wen Niannan’s smile faded.

Tang Shuo realized that it wasn’t that simple. He seemed to think of something and stared at the ring on Wen Niannan’s right hand and said, “You’re hurt but no one’s taking care of you? Where’s Gu Yansheng? Did he not come?”

Wen Niannan froze in place, not knowing what to reply.

“He…he just left. I came out to send him off.”

“Hey, isn’t Mr. Gu going to talk about the project in Nation F today?! My brother’s there too.” Tang Shuo asked him with a puzzled face.

Looking at Wen Niannan’s embarrassed expression after being exposed, Tang Shuo realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately changed the subject.

“Niannan, do you still feel dizzy? I’ll help you back to your room. How could you leave your room on your own when you’re hurt?”

“No… It’s fine, I’ll do it myself. You don’t have to help me,” he replied, avoiding Tang Shuo’s extended hand and used the wall as support instead.

“Haha, you really don’t like people touching you, just like when we were in high school. Before I met you, I heard rumors that you’re an unkind and arrogant young master. ”
