Even until Death, the Scum Gong thought I was a White Lotus

Ch18 - Dirty and broken

He had met with a car accident on the way home and had been in a vegetative state for a long time. He had only just woken up and because he had lost his memories, he had been sent to a psychiatrist for treatment.

All of this was reasonable, but the Xie Mu, who had listened to Bo Qin explain all of this, always felt like there was something wrong. 

“When I went for treatment, why was Tan Tao also there…”

Bo Qin lowered his eyes. “He was still pursuing you, so he rushed over when he heard the news.”

“Xiao Mu, don’t be afraid. Tan Tao has been dealt with, and he won’t be able to do anything to you anymore.”

The youth, who was still half asleep and had woken up to a changed world, lifted his head in a trance. “He…has been dealt with?” 

Half an hour later, Xie Mu frowned slightly as he stared at the blank search results.

As expected, based on what Bo Qin had told him, Tan Tao had been completely suppressed by him to the point of not being able to raise his head. Regardless of his own entertainer status, there wasn’t a single mention of him on the internet.

He should have been happy, but for some reason, he felt a faint unease.

As if, there was something wrong somewhere.

Yesterday, when faced with Tan Tao’s gaze and his words, Xie Mu had only wanted to escape him and had not listened. But now, as he recalled, why did he call him so tenderly?

“What’s wrong, Xiao Mu?”

Bo Qin stood by the youth, watching the confusion evident within his eyes. The hand that pressed down on the youth’s shoulder moved a little, and his face was still full  of a smile of indulgence. He asked casually, “Tan Tao’s downfall, aren’t you happy?”

“Didn’t you say, you were very scared, it was very annoying, and you didn’t want to see him?” 

“Xiao Mu…”

The man’s hand softly massaged the youth’s shoulder. “You didn’t tell me why you hated Tan Tao.”

These words were the words Bo Qin had asked Xie Mu the first time they had seen Tan Tao after Xie Mu first got together with Bo Qin, but at that time, Bo Qin was only treating Xie Mu as a complaining lover, and did not ask for details.

But now, after all that happened to Xiao Mu, Bo Qin wanted to know everything. 

“Why, why did I hate him…”

Xie Mu’s eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was remembering something.

Xie Mu “He, he always bullied me, and laughed at me with others. He threw my homework away…”

But these things, were not the important things. 

That day, Tan Tao had dragged him to the bathroom. The school bathrooms had separate stalls – Tan Tao had covered his mouth and pressed him against the wall…

It was May. The fragrance of gardenias drifted in through the window. He struggled desperately, but afterwards, the person he liked came.

Gardenias…
