BLACK LOTUS (BL NOVEL)

💮 Chapter 77: Scars behind the white gloves

"Well..."

A strong burning sensation was all he felt, Wen Niannan bent down painfully.

Looking down, he saw the whole back of his hand become redder because of the hot water, there was even blistering in some places. Wen Niannan moved his fingers gently, breathing heavily with pain.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," said Shen Luoan, his voice coming over his head.

Wen Niannan slowly raised his gaze, staring straight at him, surprised, he saw the thermos cup in his hand, with fury he said: "Shen Luoan, what's the meaning of this?"

Shen Luoan pretended to cover his mouth with a startled expression, surprised, he asked: "Oh, why did you suddenly rush over, I didn't see you, you frightened me, couldn't help to spill the water everywhere, don't you see where are you walking?"

"I'm asking you what's the meaning of this? Do you purposely spill the hot water over me?" Wen Niannan frowned, leaning to the wall to stand up straight.

Shen Luoan lightly shook the cup in his hand, his eyes changed in an instant when he saw the state of Wen Niannan, his eyes were full of poison: "Of course, I did it on purpose, that way you won't be able to participate in the school celebration, plus you won't be able to play the piano, too."

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the teacher? You sure none of our classmates saw when you came up with the thermos cup?"

Hearing this, Shen Luoan suddenly laughed,  he took a step forward, grabbing Wen Niannan's burned hand, mocking: "First, they will have to believe you if you tell them, who do you think they will believe, the good student who is obedient in the eyes of teachers and students, or the lonely boy who is antisocial, who do you think is more convincing?"

Wen Niannan's scalded hand was intentionally held firmly by Shen Luoan, he engulfed in pain, struggling to take it away.

"And...if you dare to accuse me to the teacher by saying something, I'm going to tell Yansheng that you have been liking him in secret, also that you have been secretly in love with him for years."

"You...how did you know? "Wen Niannan was shocked when he heard that, a chill went down through his back instantly, he looked at Shen Luoan in disbelief.

"Well, I found out when you were asleep in the infirmary. Tsk tsk, it was pathetic, you liked him for so many years but he always ignores you, the only thing you can do is to call his name in your dreams."

Shen Luoan didn't pay attention to Wen Niannan, he was always lonely, not talking to anyone, but later he caught him staring at Gu Yansheng on many occasions when he wasn't paying attention.

It wasn't until he heard Wen Niannan was in the infirmary because of a fever, he was talking in sleep, calling Gu Yansheng's name, after hearing what he was saying, looking somberly at Wen Niannan, there was a wicked look in Shen Luoan's eyes.

From that moment, Shen Luoan began to target Wen Niannan everywhere, making Wen Niannan do dirty things in front of Gu Yansheng again and again, which made Gu Yansheng gradually became tired of that person who pretended to be aloof and poor.

"If you hadn't accused me everywhere, taking away my music, he wouldn't have become disgusted with me, I wouldn't have become the outcast by the whole school."

Shen Luoan was jealous of Wen Niannan's talent, after seeing the music written by  Wen Niannan, he knew that he couldn't let others hear Wen Niannan's music, otherwise, all the attention that belonged to him would be stolen away by Wen Niannan, including Gu Yansheng.

"I'm warning you Wen Niannan! Today will be the last time you'll be able to play the piano in school. You aren't allowed to play piano in school from now on, or, I'm going to tell Yansheng everything so he'll completely hate you."
