Black Lotus - Chap 21

Wen Niannan followed Gu Yansheng toward the house, talking to the person next to him as they walked, but didn’t notice that the person in front has stopped, and suddenly bumped into him.
“Hmm …”

His nose hit the broad shoulder of the person in front of him. Wen Niannan’s nose was a little numb from the pain, his eyes were a little teary.
He clutched his nose and lowered his head. When he thought of the person who he hit, Wen Niannan immediately took a step back.
“I…It wasn’t intentional.” His voice trembled again, he was afraid that the relaxed atmosphere would be destroyed again by him.
Gu Yansheng turned around looking coldly at the person who was holding his red nose in front of him with tears in his eyes. His long hairstyle made him look inexplicably pitiful.
At that moment he thought something, suddenly he stepped forward and bent down.
When Gu Yansheng out of the blue leaned himself towards him and raised his hand, Wen Niannan thought that he was about to be beaten again, closed his eyes in fear wanting to retreat but held back.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yansheng slowly stretched out his hand to touch his nose, rubbed his nose gently, and said: “Does it hurt? It’s all red.”
Wen Niannan was frozen by the sudden touch, he raised his head and looked at Gu Yansheng with surprise.
“No…it doesn’t hurt.”
“Come here and I’ll rub it for you.”

After that, he helped Wen Niannan gently wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Gu Yansheng’s intimacy made Wen Niannan hold his breath. He stared blankly at the handsome face so close to him, still a little unbelievable that it was real.
The series of moves made Wen Niannan breathe tighter and more agitated, his face was bright red, when he was about to speak, he heard grandpa’s laughter from behind him.

“Haha, these two kids started to distract themselves when they were still in the hall. Did you forget the elders were upstairs?”

Hearing Lu Yun’s voice, Wen Niannan hastily stepped back, blushing in embarrassment.
Turning around, he saw Old Man Gu and Lu Yun going down the stairs, and also…his father who hadn’t seen him in such a long time.
Gu Yansheng, on the other hand, withdrew his hand calmly, glanced at Wen Niannan, then turned and walked in front of Old Man Gu.

“Grandpa, I’m back.”

Grandpa Gu nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and said lovingly to Wen Niannan: “Niannian, come here and let your grandpa see you, why do you look thinner than the last time when you came back, and your face is so bad. Your body is already weak, why didn’t you take care good of it?

“I also think that Nian Nian’s complexion doesn’t look as good as before. Sheng, are you bullying him? If you dare to bully Nian Nian, grandpa and I will be the first ones to not forgive you.”
Lu Yun suddenly said some meaningful words.
She raised her look and glanced at Gu Yansheng, Gu Yansheng’s impatient expression was caught by her, and mother and son looked at each other.
Wen Niannan was afraid that mother and son would fight again, and quickly explained: “Grandpa, I’ve been having a bad appetite recently, and I’ve eaten less, or maybe because my hair is long, my face looks smaller.”
“Then you have to eat more, don’t look down on your body.”
Grandpa Gu frowned and explained the harm to the body of not eating. Wen Niannan nodded from time to time and listened to his grandfather’s explanation, but his eyes looked at his father beside him.
But seeing that his father only wanted to talk to Old Man Gu, and didn’t care about asking about him, he lowered his eyes in frustration.
“I made prepare the tea that you like. You and Sheng go over and have some. I have something to talk with your father.”
“Ok, thank you, Grandpa.”
After a few people walked away, Gu Yansheng looked at the direction that Old Man Gu and the others were leaving, and spoke lightly: “You did a good performance, you are really good at it.”
