The day Chen Yao finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital arrived. Fang Zhiyi specially groomed himself and waited at the hospital entrance with a bouquet of flowers to pick up his true love, but fate seemed to have played a massive joke on him.
He saw Zhou Kai, the scumbag who had abandoned Chen Yao, walking out with his head held high, and Chen Yao was linking arms with him.
At this moment, Fang Zhiyi was dumbfounded.
"Thank you, you are a good person... but I can't lie to you, and I can't lie to myself either. The one I love is still him... You'll wish me well, right?"
Fang Zhiyi stared blankly at the still-beautiful girl in front of him, as well as her family behind her.
The way they looked at him now lacked any of their previous warmth; instead, their eyes were filled with guarded wariness.
He was unwilling to accept this. He had sacrificed so much for Chen Yao, how could it end just like this? Fang Zhiyi mustered his courage, wanting to ask Chen Yao for an answer. He couldn't understand why Chen Yao would still choose the man who had abandoned her.
But the Chen family shut him out.
"Look at your status! You're up to your neck in debt and you still want to marry our daughter? Are you worthy?" Mother Chen, who had originally seemed amiable, finally showed her true colors and spoke her actual thoughts.
"But I'm in debt because..."
"You! I knew you didn't have such good intentions!" Chen Yao's younger brother, Chen Mingli, rushed out. "Did we beg you for those things? You did it voluntarily! If you're not satisfied, go sue us! We'll take you on!"
Fang Zhiyi stood there numbly. Chen Mingli shoved him, forcing him to stumble backward repeatedly.
He felt a breath stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
Chen Yao didn't answer his calls, but he still tried to send her a message. He didn't want anything else; he just wanted an answer. After a long time, Chen Yao replied. He wanted to know why she would treat him like this after he had done so much.
"I didn't beg you to help me, you were the one willing to help. I am human too, and I have the right to pursue my own feelings! I heard from my mom that you even went to my house to make a scene today. If you do this again, I will just call the police next time!"
Fang Zhiyi's face was full of a bitter smile. Just then, Wang Hao called. On the other end of the line, Wang Hao was obviously drunk.
"Bro, hurry over and buy me two packs of cigarettes."
Fang Zhiyi froze for a moment. "I'll transfer the money to you, buy them yourself."
"Hic... Are you..."
Fang Zhiyi hung up the phone, took out his phone, and transferred the little money he had left. He dug into his pockets and found five yuan in cash left over from working a few days ago. He found a small shop, bought a cheap five-yuan bottle of liquor, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp. Then, he walked with steady steps toward the cross-river bridge.
At the bridgehead, he met an older woman sitting by the road crying. Fang Zhiyi stepped forward to ask what had happened. The woman simply said she came to find relatives, but not only had she lost the address, she also lost her wallet and now had nowhere to go.
Fang Zhiyi comforted her with a few words and stuffed his old phone into her hand.
"If you don't mind, take this and use it."
The woman spoke words of gratitude as Fang Zhiyi waved his hand and continued walking forward.
He gave his last bit of kindness to a stranger, then found a spot and jumped into the river water.
"Hmm..." Fang Zhiyi rubbed his chin. "Is that it?"
Little Hei nodded. "What else?"
"What about the aftermath? Shouldn't that woman have had a relapse of her old illness and died?"
Little Hei threw his hands up. "Do you think this is a movie with instant karma? She lived a peaceful life and even gave Zhou Kai two sons."
"Damn it, that's too frustrating." Fang Zhiyi rolled his eyes.
Suddenly, someone behind him urged, "Buddy, hurry up and move forward. What are you spacing out for?"
Fang Zhiyi looked back at the man behind him, then looked forward, instantly realizing that he was in line to buy movie tickets.
He wanted to turn and leave, but suddenly found that his body uncontrollably took a few steps forward, and his face unconsciously smiled at the person behind him.
"What's going on??" Fang Zhiyi was bewildered.
Little Hei suddenly realized something. He reached out a tentacle and shoved it into his own mouth, searching around inside his body, then looked at Fang Zhiyi with a guilty conscience. "When did this guy... go back? He, he..."
Fang Zhiyi understood. This was exactly like a previous world; he was sharing a body with the original owner.
When it was the original owner's turn, he bought two movie tickets and then went straight back to the dorm.
"Oh, Zhiyi is back. Perfect, now that you're back, I won't move. Please help me get some food, I really don't want to go out."
Xiong Hua, a coworker in the same dorm, had a smile on his face.
The original owner nodded. "Sure."
But he didn't move. Xiong Hua looked at him, puzzled. "Go on."
The original owner wanted to leave, but his body couldn't move, and another voice rang out in his mind: "Go where? Why should you buy him food? Are you his dad?"
Seeing Fang Zhiyi's dazed appearance, Xiong Hua couldn't help but feel a bit displeased. "I said hurry up, the cafeteria will close soon."
"Close your mom's door, if you want to eat, go buy it yourself!" Fang Zhiyi blurted out.
Xiong Hua was stunned. "What did you say?"
Fang Zhiyi quickly covered his mouth, smiling apologetically at Xiong Hua. He didn't know what was wrong with himself, as if there was another person inside his body.
"Afraid I won't pay you? When have I ever shortchanged you?" Xiong Hua said.
Fang Zhiyi's left hand forcefully pried his right hand off his mouth: "Haven't you been skipping the errand fee? Do I owe you something?"
Xiong Hua's expression turned ugly. "Why are you so petty? And to think I used to believe you were a decent guy. You're asking me for an errand fee just to buy some food?"
He angrily got out of bed and walked toward the door, ignoring the bizarre sight of Fang Zhiyi covering his mouth with one hand and waving wildly with the other, and left while cursing under his breath.
"With your pathetic look, you still want to chase Liu Mengmeng? You should take a piss and look at your own reflection!"
The words Xiong Hua threw down before leaving left the original owner stunned, and his hand no longer tightly covered his mouth. Obviously, Xiong Hua had previously said that he and Liu Mengmeng were a good match, and he would often pat his chest promising to put in a good word for him with Liu Mengmeng.
"See that? This is fucking reality. You can feed a dog like this every day and it might not even wag its tail at you, but the one day you don't feed it, it will turn around and bite you!"
The sudden voice made Fang Zhiyi tremble all over.
"Who... who are you?"
"I..." Fang Zhiyi glared at Little Hei, opened his mouth, and started speaking nonsense. "I am your grandpa!" In the original plot, Fang Zhiyi's grandfather had passed away when he was young, and was one of the few people who treated Fang Zhiyi very well.
"Aren't you just talking nonsense? Who would believe that an extra person in their head is their grandfather..." Little Hei knew he had caused trouble.
"Grandpa!"
