Black Lotus - Chap 66
Not long after Wen Niannan slept, he was awakened by a nightmare, his mind was full of images of him locked in the basement, crying but no one responding.
He rubbed his dizzy head before stepping out of the bed, the pajamas were soaked in a cold sweat, sticking to his body making him feel uncomfortable. Wen Niannan decided to take a bath and change his clothes.
He opened the bathroom door walking in, stretch his hand to turn on the faucet of the bathtub, the rushing sound of the water invaded the bathroom. Wen Niannan stood in front of the mirror looking at himself.
Messy hair…red and swollen eyes…thin chin…messy gauze bandaged above his eyes…
Wen Niannan raised his hand touching gently his face, feeling in the mirror was someone unknown.
How did you become like that…
The bathtub was filled up by the water, Wen Niannan raised his foot stepping into the bathtub, when the water reached his chest, he sat in it with his hands and legs curled up, with no expression on his face.
After a moment, he slowly laid down on his back, the whole man was covered by the water, he stayed like that for a long time, the water overflowed…
Gu Yansheng walked to Wen Niannan’s room carrying the porridge, knocked hard on the door, but no one answered for a long time, so he opened the door entering.
Without raising his head, he said impatiently to the person on the bed: “My mother made Aunt Lan prepare the porridge, it…”
When he looked up, he saw that Wen Niannan wasn’t in bed, putting down the tray, he walked to the balcony.
There was no one on the balcony either no one on the bed.
Suddenly hearing a sound coming from the bathroom, Gu Yansheng sighed in relief, then went over with a gloomy face.
He approached the bathroom door opening a little bit of it, only to find that inside was also empty, he didn’t see the person he was looking for.
Gu Yansheng raised his foot walking in, he saw the clothes that Wen Niannan had taken off in the basket. He was a little bit surprised: was he taking a shower?
“Wen Niannan.”
“Wen Niannan answer me, don’t pretend to be dead.”
When he saw he wasn’t going to get a reply, Gu Yansheng approached opening the shower door with a somber face, he was shocked when he saw the man lying unresponsive in the bathtub…
“Damn it!”
Gu Yansheng quickly stepped forward pulling the man up from the water. Wen Niannan was suffocated by the water turning into a constant cough, with an expression of pain on his face, he couldn’t tell whether it was tears or dripping water.
When he saw Yansheng standing beside him, he was in awe, his eyes widened but they gradually dimmed.
“Are you a lunatic? If you want to die, stay away. Are you threatening me with your death?”
After he stopped coughing, Wen Niannan looked up wiping the water off his face, he whispered: “I wasn’t trying to do it, I was just thinking about everything, I wanted to lose myself in the water.”
The tone was extraordinarily plain as if he didn’t care if he would die from drowning.
Looking back at the pale-looking person sitting in the bathtub, his slightly long hair wet was falling graciously on the back of his snow-white neck, some drops slipping through the perfect line of his back, the gauze on his forehead seemed to become loose because of the water as if the next moment would fall, there was sickly beauty…
