He definitely wasn’t heartless; he was the one who had his heart taken away, but he was full of feelings.
After the two separated, Zhou Zhenfei felt embarrassed to message Fan Shang. He thought Fan Shang would reach out to him, after all, that night it was Fan Shang who took the initiative.
But after waiting a whole month with no news from Fan Shang, rumors started circulating online that Fan Shang was now with a famous actress under Fan Yin’s film studio.
How could this be possible?
Zhou Zhenfei sobbed as he clutched his phone while scrolling through Weibo.
The results were overwhelming photos of Fan Shang and the actress smiling together on the red carpet.
Fan Shang’s gaze was full of affection, completely different from the way he looked at Zhou Zhenfei.
At that moment, Zhou Zhenfei confirmed that he had been heartlessly discarded.
However, unlike a woman, he couldn’t get pregnant, and even if he had been with a man, he couldn’t ask for responsibility. He opened Fan Shang’s WeChat, bitterly staring at Fan Shang’s profile picture and name, and finally mustered the courage to send a message.
Zhou Zhenfei: Fan Shang, have you forgotten about what happened that night?
Immediately, a gray box popped up on the screen.
Fan Shang had turned on friend verification; you are not yet his friend. Please send a friend verification request, and you may chat once he accepts.
There was a blue sentence below: Send friend verification.
Zhou Zhenfei was stunned. He rushed to the top-level manager’s office to find Shuai Chang, bursting in without knocking.
“Brother! He actually deleted me as a friend!” Zhou Zhenfei’s eyes were filled with tears; he felt that all his heartfelt affection had been fed to the dogs. He had anxiously waited for a month, only to discover that he had already been removed!
Shuai Chang put down the documents he was working on and led Zhou Zhenfei to sit on the sofa. “Who deleted you?”
“Fan! Shang!” Even now, saying his name filled Zhou Zhenfei with a sense of bitterness.
Shuai Chang understood; it seemed Fan Shang wasn’t fond of his younger brother. Unaware that the two had already been intimate, he reassured Zhou Zhenfei, “There are plenty of fish in the sea. There are many like Fan Shang, and I will definitely introduce you to similar types in the future.”
Zhou Zhenfei sulked, his face pouty and eyes red, looking pitiful.
“But it’s different; no one can compare to him!” Zhou Zhenfei didn’t understand what had possessed him. Just thinking about Fan Shang pulled at his heartstrings; not being able to see him made him sad, and after being unfriended, his heart felt shattered.
Yet, he still liked him.
“Brother, am I being pathetic? But I can’t help it; I’m so sad.” As Zhou Zhenfei blinked, tears overflowed, streaming down his face until it was completely wet.
“Don’t say that! How could you think of yourself that way?” Shuai Chang handed Zhou Zhenfei some tissues to wipe his face. “Actually, I’m partly to blame. I haven’t told you something.”
Zhou Zhenfei looked up, choking back his sobs, “What is it that you haven’t told me?”
Shuai Chang hesitated to speak: “Fan Shang… he likes your sister-in-law.”
Fan Shang likes his sister-in-law?
Zhou Zhenfei recalled Wei Yanze’s exquisite and beautiful face, comparing it to his own, and turned to hug Shuai Chang, crying heartily.
Zhou Zhenfei sadly realized that if he were Fan Shang, he too would like his sister-in-law.
He had no chance with Fan Shang anymore.
Feeling guilty, Shuai Chang granted Zhou Zhenfei a month off to heal his emotional wounds.
Zhou Zhenfei stayed home every day, refusing to go anywhere. No one could persuade him; he was stubborn this way. Unless he came to a conclusion himself, he would never give in to others’ advice.
Zhou Zhenfei knew there was no way he could look as good as Wei Yanze, so he began to indulge himself, overeating, and within a month he had gained weight.
One day after dinner, Zhou Zhenfei sat on the sofa with a box of cookies, eating while watching TV. Zhou’s mother frowned and said, “Zhou Zhenfei, enough already. You can’t just eat yourself into a pig because of a breakup; no one will look at you anymore.”
Zhou Zhenfei pretended not to hear and quickly stuffed two cookies into his mouth, but he ate too fast and choked. He coughed violently, and Zhou’s mother rushed to get him water. When she came back, she saw Zhou Zhenfei leaning over the trash can, throwing up everything he had eaten for dinner.
Zhou Zhenfei sat up and took the water from Zhou’s mother, rinsing his mouth. His face was pale, and Zhou’s mother couldn’t help but tear up, saying, “Are you torturing yourself or me?”
Zhou Zhenfei sat there dazed, his gaze unfocused, and after a long moment, he said, “Mom, I’m sorry.” He truly shouldn’t hurt his family’s feelings over a scumbag.
The next day, Zhou Zhenfei decided to start fresh, setting a meal plan for himself; losing weight was the priority.
However, it seemed his vomiting from the day before had opened the floodgates, as he started throwing up everything he ate thereafter; even with hospital checks, his stomach was fine.
After the holiday ended, Shuai Chang looked at his emaciated younger brother and sighed, “I can manage the company, so you focus on taking care of your health and stop overthinking.”
Zhou Zhenfei replied, “Brother, I don’t want him anymore, but I can’t help it; I throw up everything I eat.” He was also very troubled.
He didn’t think that his situation was because he couldn’t forget Fan Shang; in fact, he had almost returned to an indifferent state like before he had feelings for Fan Shang.
That night, Wei Yanze lay in Shuai Chang’s arms and said, “Do you think Zhenfei’s condition resembles pregnancy symptoms? I know he’s a man, but his reactions are exactly the same as when I was with Cheng Yun. First, he beams with hunger, wanting to eat anything he sees, then he starts eating and throwing up everything until five months have passed. Should we take him to the hospital for a check-up, just to be safe?”
Men and women didn’t appear very different externally; the only way to determine gender was through hospital testing at birth.
Shuai Chang was persuaded by his words and took Zhou Zhenfei to the hospital the next morning.
The doctor inquired about his gender and then his symptoms, saying, “It might be a gastrointestinal issue; let’s do a gastroscopy just to be sure.”
Shuai Chang replied, “Doctor, we’ve done that already; Zhenfei has no gastrointestinal problems. Today, we want you to check if he might be pregnant.”
The doctor widened his eyes in surprise, “He’s not a man?” How could a man possibly be pregnant?
