“She blocked me again, sister-in-law, can you come over? She lives at…” Fu Jingchen told Rong Yan Zhou Luo’s address.
"I'll go over there if I have time," Rong Yan replied.
"Brother, can I talk to you for a while?" Fu Jingchen had some private matters to discuss with Fu Jingsheng.
"Wait a minute, I'll turn off the speaker." Fu Jingsheng was afraid that Fu Jingchen would ask him about urology again, and it wasn't good to talk about this topic in front of his wife and others.
"Rong Yan, I'm going to the bedroom," Fu Jingsheng said.
"Go ahead, I'll finish writing about the past."
Rong Yan didn't want to know Fu Jingchen's secret.
After returning to the bedroom, Fu Jingsheng said, "Go ahead and speak."
Fu Jingchen has always told his older brother everything since he was a child, even about his physical defects.
Just now, Fu Jingsheng and the others asked him if he had unintentionally done something to upset Zhou Luo, and Fu Jingchen thought about their married life.
"Brother, could it be that she's tired of me?" Fu Jingchen started to feel insecure again.
"What do you dislike about me? Is it that aspect of you?" Fu Jingsheng immediately understood his brother's words.
"Hmm, is she upset that I can't even handle something this simple? She didn't twist her ankle, but..." Fu Jingchen and Zhou Luo had agreed not to tell anyone the truth. If anyone asked why she went to the orthopedic doctor, she would say she twisted her ankle. Fu Jingchen didn't want to hide it from his brother and the others anymore.
"What do you mean?" Fu Jingsheng was a little confused.
"I twisted my waist when we were together. It's my fault. When I was behind her, I pulled her head back, and then I twisted my waist. If I hadn't twisted my waist, I wouldn't have been bullied by Rong Bing..." Fu Jingchen said hesitantly.
"Stop, don't tell me the specific details. How can you just blurt out such private things?" Fu Jingsheng wiped his sweat. "But I still don't quite understand. You didn't do it on purpose, and you didn't want her to get hurt. It's not good to keep chasing after her and scolding her because of this." From an outsider's perspective, Fu Jingsheng thought Fu Jingchen hadn't done anything wrong.
"If I hadn't pulled her, she wouldn't have twisted her ankle. It was my fault for doing it recklessly," Fu Jingchen continued to blame himself.
“That’s not it. I agree with your sister-in-law’s opinion. Zhou Luo is sick and has psychological problems. Fu Jingchen, take her to get a diagnosis first. She’s been getting angry for no reason and hasn’t explained herself yet. We all think she’s being unreasonable. Her abnormal behavior means she has a mental problem or psychological problems. In short, it’s not your problem,” Fu Jingsheng said.
"Brother, I have a secret." Fu Jingchen hesitated before speaking.
"What?"
"Me." Fu Jingchen gritted his teeth. "Me."
"Could you please stop speaking like you're squeezing toothpaste?" Fu Jingsheng disliked speaking haltingly, as it was a complete waste of time.
"I..." Fu Jingchen was too embarrassed to speak. Urged on by Fu Jingsheng again, he closed his eyes and spoke quickly, "I took the medicine when I was with Zhou Luo. Did she find out? She picked a fight with me." Fu Jingchen had only taken it once or twice.
"What?" Fu Jingsheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"It started off well, but then it didn't work out again. I was afraid Luo Luo would be disappointed, so I..." Fu Jingchen didn't dare tell anyone.
"Fu Jingchen, don't you know that those single-use medications are harmful to the body?" When Rong Yan said that to Fu Jingsheng, he never thought of taking medicine to relieve the symptoms, but instead went to the hospital to see a doctor again and again.
"Brother, I was wrong. I found out it really does hurt my body. It's really only twice at most. Did Zhou Luo find out too?" Fu Jingchen was already insecure in this world, and now that he told his brother about taking the medicine, he felt even more pressured.
“How would she know if you didn’t tell her?” Fu Jingsheng didn’t think that was the main reason.
Fu Jingchen took a breath: "But apart from that, I really can't think of anything else that could have made her suddenly become like this."
"Fu Jingchen, let Zhou Luo calm down before we talk. We're not outsiders and don't know what happened between you two. All I can tell you is not to take that kind of drug again. I'll hang up now." Fu Jingsheng couldn't get to the bottom of things with Fu Jingchen, so he asked to hang up.
The man returned to the study and saw Rong Yan pulling at her hair.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Fu Jingsheng ran up and grabbed the woman's hand.
"Honey, are you done making the call?" Rong Yan asked, wrapping her arms around Fu Jingsheng's waist.
"Hmm, if I can't think of anything, I'll take a day off and go to sleep. When you have no inspiration, even if you pull out all your hair, it won't help." Fu Jingsheng thought about how he used to spend a long time thinking about writing a few hundred words for his essays, let alone Rong Yan's output of several thousand words every day.
Rong Yan leaned her head against her husband: "Hmm, we can't keep going, let's go to sleep."
Upon hearing his wife say she was going to sleep, Fu Jingsheng immediately picked her up and said, "Okay."
"Wife, let me help you find some inspiration," Fu Jingsheng said with a wicked smile.
"No, sitting for too long is tiring. I just want to lie down and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning." Rong Yan was mainly in a bad mood.
"Okay, I'll owe you one more time." Fu Jingsheng could tell that Rong Yan was very tired.
A pillow was placed between the two people.
Fu Jingchen's home.
The man drank a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
The coffee made him exceptionally alert.
She hadn't planned to contact Zhou Luo, but while scrolling through her phone, she saw messages the two of them had exchanged, messages that showed how happy they were.
He couldn't help but edit a message, but after pressing send, an exclamation mark still appeared, indicating that he was still on the blacklist.
The man entered the phone number again, but the receiver said it was not working.
Fu Jingchen gave up completely.
Zhou Luojia.
The woman lay face down on the bed, her eyes red from crying.
After being kicked out, Fu Jingchen never contacted her again.
Her back injury hasn't healed yet, isn't Fu Jingchen worried about her?
Zhou Luo was starving, but had no appetite. She made herself a bowl of instant noodles, but the smell made her feel nauseous.
So I drank a few sips of water, lay back in bed, and looked through the photos in the album. Although there weren't many, every single one of the photos was so sweet.
Zhou Luo started crying as she watched.
Why hasn't Fu Jingchen come to find me yet? Zhou Luo has already told me that as long as Fu Jingchen comes, she promises not to throw a tantrum anymore.
"Fu Jingchen, why aren't you coming over yet?" Zhou Luo kept talking to himself.
In the middle of the night, Fu Jingchen took a picture of a distant night view and posted it on Moyin (a Chinese music platform), along with some relaxing music and the caption "Enjoying solitude."
Zhou Luo quickly came across the video.
The woman clicked on the picture and looked at it. She recognized the location as Fu Jingchen's living room balcony. It was so late, and he still had the mood to post a video. He really wasn't sad at all.
Zhou Luo threw her phone away and punched the pillow with her fist.
After sending the jingle, Fu Jingchen put his phone aside.
The man thought to himself that since Zhou Luo didn't want to talk to him, he could just think about something in peace. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had ever enjoyed the night view alone in such quiet.
I've been troubled by relationship issues lately, and it's even affected my work.
Fu Jingchen leaned on the back of the sofa, deep in thought. Should he stop contacting Zhou Luo for the next few days?
He arranged for himself to go on a business trip the next day overnight.
