Chapter 92: Chapter 77.1 - Scars Under The White Glove

“Ouch…”

The extreme burning pain made Wen Niannan bend down.

Looking down, he saw that the entire back of his hand was burnt red by the boiling water, and some places even got swollen. Slightly trying to move his fingers, Wen Niannan took a deep breath in pain.

“Oh my, I’m so sorry,” Shen Luoan’s meaningless apology came from above his head.

Wen Niannan slowly looked up and saw the thermos water bottle and asked furiously, “Shen Luoan, what do you think you are doing?”

Shen Luoan covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to be surprised, “Ah, why did you just come in all of a sudden? You scared me and made me spill all the hot water I just got. Darn it, watch where you are going next time.”

“I’m asking what’s the meaning behind all this? Why did you pour hot water on me?” Wen Niannan frowned and supported himself against the wall so he could stand up.

Shen Luoan lightly shook the bottle in his hand, and his eyes changed. He said as he looked at Wen Niannan with evilness in his eyes, “Yes, that’s right, I did that on purpose, just so that you can’t attend the celebration, and you can’t play that piano.”

“Do you think I won’t tell the teacher about this? Do you think no one else saw you coming up here with a thermos bottle?”

Hearing so, Shen Luoan laughed. He took a step forward and grabbed the hand that got burnt and said, “Someone has to believe what you said first. Who do you think the teachers will trust? I, who was hardworking, or you, who was always acting weird and antisocial? Who do you think will be more convincing?”

Being grabbed by the hand that still hurts, Wen Niannan painfully took his hand back.

“Also… If you dare to tell the teacher that I did this, then I’ll tell Yansheng that you had been secretly falling in love with him for years.”

“You… how do you know about this?” Wen Niannan was surprised and felt a chill down his back as he looked at Shen Luoan in shock.

“Of course, it was when you were asleep in the hospital ward. Tsk tsk, how pitiful of you, calling the name of the lover in your dream who will never care about you.”

Shen Luoan never paid much attention to the quiet boy Wen Niannan before, and he only felt alerted when he noticed once Wen Niannan started at Gu Yansheng for a long time.

When he heard Wen Niannan calling for Gu Yansheng’s name in the hospital, Shen Luoan’s glances toward Wen Niannan started becoming evil.

From that day on, Shen Luoan always targeted Wen Niannan wherever possible, causing Wen Niannan to look back repeatedly in front of Gu Yansheng, and Gu Yansheng soon started disliking this clumsy and weak person.

“If it wasn’t because you framed me and stole my sheet music, he wouldn’t have hated me, and I wouldn’t have been disliked by the entire school.”

Shen Luoan hated Wen Niannan’s talents, and after seeing the music Wen Niannan wrote, he knew that he couldn’t allow anyone to hear Wen Niannan’s music.

Or else, the fame and attention that belonged to him would all be taken away by Wen Niannan, including Gu Yansheng.

“I’m warning you, Wen Niannan! Today better be the last day you play the piano in this school. As long as I hear you play again, I will tell Yansheng everything and let him hate you forever.”

Wen Niannan smiled bitterly and asked, “Why do you always have to do this to me? He’s already yours. Everyone knew how much Gu Yansheng valued you, and no one could do anything about that. What else do you have to worry about?”

He never wanted much, but could he at least just watch his love from far away…?

“How I target you has nothing to do with Yansheng, simply because I hate you. People like you don’t deserve such good talents and standing under the spotlight. Since you are so quiet already, why don’t you continue being mute? Get back to the corner you belong!”

Shen Luoan moved himself to a position so that Gu Yansheng who was walking over could see. He leaned toward Wen Niannan and said, “Do you know how good I feel when Gu Yansheng praised me after hearing me playing the music that you wrote?”

Wen Niannan’s face changed and also because Shen Luoan was too close, he just lightly pushed on him.

“Hmm…”

Shen Luoan took a large step back and crashed against the wall. On his face was a shocking expression, “Niannan, please don’t be mad at me. I know it’s my fault.”

“What is your fault?” Gu Yansheng’s voice came from the stairs.

Seeing Gu Yansheng was coming, Shen Luoan quickly went over and asked quietly, “Yansheng, are you here to seek me?”

“Did he push you?” Gu Yansheng fiercely glanced at the person next to them whose head was lowered.

“No… it’s alright. We just had an argument.”

Gu Yansheng’s face changed and walked toward Wen Niannan, but Shen Luoan grabbed him and said, “It’s ok, we should go back, or else there won’t be any good seats.”

Shen Luoan turned back as they walked away, looking at the person in a distance frozen in place, his eyes showing a victorious sight.
