Chapter 68.1 - Niannan... Does It Hurt...? (1/2)



The person he hadn’t seen for a very long time appeared in front of him with a bright smile on the person’s face.

Wen Niannan held his hand on the steering wheel and lowered his head but did not bring down the car window.

Seeing that it was really Wen Niannan in the car, Tang Shuo was overjoyed. He excitedly waved his hand toward the car while smiling cheerfully.

The person inside the car just stared at him and looked down with an elusive look.

Tang Shuo noticed that Wen Niannan was different from usual. Without knowing why, he walked to the car window and knocked, smiling happily. He gestured to Wen Niannan to lower the window.

In the car, the person didn’t move, just leaning against the steering wheel. Tang Shuo got worried and knocked again while yelling, “Niannan, Niannan, can you lower the window, please? I want to talk to you.”

Tang Lunxuan walked over from behind, looking at the person inside the car and then at his brother. He shook his head and said, “Don’t be like this, don’t be rude to Mr. Wen.”

“He was never like this before. He never ignored me. Something must have happened.”

Tang Shuo knocked hard on the car window again, face full of anxious expression. Suddenly, the window was lowered, Wen Niannan looked sad as he said, “That’s enough, Tang Shuo, you are about to break my car window. Are you going to pay me if you break it?”

“Niannan, did you come to visit me? I’m so happy. What happened just then? When I called your name…” Tang Shuo’s voice paused as he saw the face more clearly.

“You… How come you lost so much weight? And why do you look so weak? It was only a matter of time since we last met, are you sick again?”

The door opened and Wen Niannan stepped down from the car. Only now did Tang Shuo noticed that Wen Niannan was wearing a hat, and his head was still lowered.

Wen Niannan stood beside his car and said calmly, “I don’t have a good appetite recently, and I ate a bit less, so I look a little weaker than usual.”

Seeing that Tang Shuo was about to ask more questions, he quickly changed the topic and looked at Tang Linxuan beside him and asked, “You are…?”

“I forgot to introduce him, he is my elder brother. Niannan, do you think we look similar?”

Wen Niannan looked carefully and said, “Your brother looks more handsome than you.”

“Niannan, why did you say so? My brother looks like my mom and acts like my dad, while I am the direct opposite.”

Tang Lunxuan knocked on Tang Shuo’s head heavily and stepped forward while reaching out his hand to Wen Niannan, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Wen, I am Tang Lunxuan. I’m sorry that Tang Shuo has troubled you over the recent years.”

The person across from him gave no response for a long time, and Tang Lunxuan looked up, seeing Wen Niannan’s troubled face.

“Brother, Niannan didn’t like to be touched by others.” Tang Shuo patted Tang Lunxuan’s shoulder and reminded him.

“Sorry, Mr. Tang.”

Tang Lunxuan took back his hand and shook his head, saying, “It’s okay, I’m sorry for being so abrupt ”

It suddenly started to grow windy, and Wen Niannan sneezed. Seeing so, Tang Shuo quickly took off his jacket to put on Wen Niannan’s back.

But Wen Niannan was a little shocked by the sudden interaction. He instinctively pushed Tang Shuo back, “What are you doing?” ”

The jacket fell onto the floor, and Tang Shuo was a little shocked too. He looked at the panicking person in front of him, “Are… are you okay, Niannan? I just wanted to put a jacket on you.”

After Wen Niannan calmed down, he realized that he was too impulsive, and apologized, “Sorry… Tang Shuo, I shouldn’t… Achoo.”

“It’s getting windy out here, let’s go talk inside.” Tang Lunxuan pushed his brother and turned to go inside.

Tang Shuo picked up the jacket and handed it to Wen Niannan. As the wind was indeed getting bigger, he also wanted to go in.

“Niannan, my studio was recently remodeled, do you want to check it out?”

“No, thank you, I have to go now. I was here for something else, didn’t expect to see you here.”

Wen Niannan turned to open the car door, but the second it was opened, it was pushed back close by someone.

“You’re lying…”
