Chapter 116: Proposing A Breakup
Sometimes when the two of them calmed down and talked, Seventy-Six also knew she was wrong and shouldn’t have yelled and hit the boy, but she said she just couldn’t control herself.
The boy also knew Seventy-Six’s family situation growing up, lacking fatherly and motherly love. He felt heartbroken and didn’t argue with Seventy-Six.
Instead, he joked, “It’s okay, Big Brother can handle it. If I can’t, I’ll tell you, haha.”
Hearing this, Seventy-Six tenderly touched the bruises on the boy’s body that she had caused.
In this way, the boy endured Seventy-Six, fantasizing that one day she would understand his good intentions.
A few months later, Seventy-Six wanted to take her grandmother on a trip to repay her grandmother for raising her.
She told the boy she wanted him to go with them. The boy said he would give Seventy-Six some money, thinking that no matter what, Seventy-Six was his girlfriend, and he should do something to support her filial piety.
No matter what the boy said, Seventy-Six stubbornly refused.
However, just one day later, Seventy-Six changed her mind and directly asked the boy if he would give her money to take her grandmother on a trip. The boy immediately said yes, giving Seventy-Six a few thousand.
At first, the boy didn’t understand what Seventy-Six meant, thinking she felt it was too little, so he directly added some more.
Seventy-Six knew that the boy didn’t have much money and sometimes was forced to spend on her credit card because more than half of his salary basically went to her, not to mention what he spent on her normally. But her intention was for the boy to continue spending on her card.
No matter how much the boy said he would give, Seventy-Six was unwilling. Later, the boy finally understood; she was asking him to give her all of it!
However, the boy eventually compromised because he foolishly believed that Seventy-Six couldn’t fail to see his kindness towards her. He believed that Seventy-Six would one day feel for him and return to being that good girl.
After the boy agreed, Seventy-Six picked up her grandmother, and then the boy, spending his own money, accompanied Seventy-Six and her grandmother to every tourist attraction in Fengtian, going out to eat and have fun. Every day when they returned, because the rental was on a higher floor, the boy would carry Seventy-Six’s grandmother up the stairs, to the sixth floor.
Many times, Seventy-Six’s grandmother felt very sorry for the boy, telling him to walk slowly, but the boy stubbornly carried her up.
After six days of traveling, the boy took them to a place they hadn’t been before. The boy heard from the driver that it would be fun to go further inside, but it would be more expensive. Seventy-Six and her grandmother said it was fine either way.
However, after arriving and buying tickets to enter, they found there wasn’t much to do.
At this moment, Seventy-Six suddenly turned hostile and, in front of her grandmother, suddenly became enraged, yelling at and slapping the boy.
“Slap!”
This sudden slap stunned the boy, and he instantly widened his eyes.
The boy was enraged and cursed, “Fuck your mother! Are you going to stop now? I haven’t been here before either, how would I know if it’s fun or not?”
Seventy-Six didn’t hear anything else the boy said, only hearing “fuck your mother.”
She questioned the boy, “You dare curse at me?”
She stepped forward to hit the boy again, but was stopped by Seventy-Six’s grandmother, who also scolded her a few times.
This averted an awkward situation for the three of them outside, but the boy was truly getting angry.
He thought, it was one thing for this to happen when it was just the two of them. He was spending money, taking time off work, working from dawn till dusk for her and her grandmother, and even washing her grandmother’s feet daily to show gratitude for her upbringing.
He rarely treated his own parents like this at home. Damn it! She was truly spoiled beyond measure!
Even so, the boy still didn’t fight back. Because since childhood, he believed that men fighting with women was disgraceful. Whether they won or lost, it was disgraceful.
They walked awkwardly, with Seventy-Six stomping off angrily. The boy, taking care of Seventy-Six’s grandmother, continued to serve them politely.
Seventy-Six’s grandmother comforted the boy, saying, “Don’t be like her. She’s a bitch, not a good person. I see how good you are to her, and she’s still ungrateful, yelling and hitting you. Just ignore her.”
The boy sighed helplessly, “It’s okay, Grandma. She’s not old yet, she’ll be better in a few years.”
After the three returned to the rental room, the boy didn’t speak to Seventy-Six. He took care of Seventy-Six’s grandmother’s meal, washed up, and went back to his small room.
Because after Seventy-Six’s grandmother arrived, the boy had given the big room to Seventy-Six and her grandmother to live in, and he slept alone in the small room.
After the incident that day, no one knew what Seventy-Six’s grandmother said to Seventy-Six, but in the middle of the night, Seventy-Six went to the boy’s small room to coax him.
The boy ignored her and told her he wasn’t accompanying her anymore. He was going back to work tomorrow. He had spent a lot of money these past few days, and his kindness to her grandmother was almost like that of a grandson. Yet, Seventy-Six still hit and yelled at him as she pleased. He felt heartbroken.
Seventy-Six tried hard to comfort the boy. Finally, the boy was no longer angry, but he absolutely wouldn’t accompany her anymore.
The next day, the boy went back to work. Seventy-Six took her grandmother out for another two days. Then, the grandmother told the boy that her visit had caused trouble and that she needed to go back.
The boy took time off work to see her off.
After Seventy-Six’s grandmother left, Seventy-Six was well-behaved for a few days and stopped being so troublesome. The boy thought she had changed her ways.
But it wasn’t even three days before she reverted to her old self.
By this time, Seventy-Six had been like this for about half a year. The boy couldn’t take it anymore and calmly proposed a breakup to Seventy-Six.
After saying this, the boy packed his things and told Seventy-Six that he had already paid the rent for another month, and she could leave whenever she wanted. He was resigning and preparing to go home.
Hearing this, Seventy-Six was stunned because she knew that the only reason the boy had stayed there for so long was because of her; otherwise, she had heard he was going to quit when she first arrived.
The boy calmly advised Seventy-Six, “I’m older than you. Big Brother has been with you for so long and has treated you well. I’ve done everything I could. You’ve hit me for half a year, and I’ve only cursed you a couple of times but never hit back. You’re younger than me, and your parents weren’t around when you were little, so Big Brother doesn’t blame you. But I can’t take it anymore. I won’t be with you on your future path. You be good on your own. Whoever you’re with in the future, don’t act like this again. No one will indulge you like I have.”
Seventy-Six didn’t know what to say. At this moment, she had lost her usual temper and meekly said, “Okay.”
Seeing that Seventy-Six wasn’t angry, the boy continued, “If you need Big Brother’s help with anything in the future, just say so. Although we can’t be like a couple anymore, I’ll help you if I can. Also, don’t be angry, okay? I’m not criticizing you. It would be best if you could see a psychologist when you have time. Something is definitely not quite right with you. If it were someone else, after I’ve done all this, they wouldn’t just not argue with me, but they certainly wouldn’t hit and curse at me on a whim. Think about it yourself.”
After speaking, the boy went into another room.
About ten minutes later, the boy heard Seventy-Six crying loudly, constantly calling out to the boy, “Brother, Brother, come here, Brother, I’m sick, crying, Brother, I have mental illness~! crying…”
The boy thought something had happened to Seventy-Six and quickly ran to see. Seventy-Six was muttering these words while showing the boy her phone. The boy glanced at it and saw that Seventy-Six had contacted a psychologist and had roughly explained her situation to the doctor.
The doctor’s reply was for her to find a nearby psychological clinic as soon as possible. She definitely had bipolar disorder, which is manic-depressive disorder, and also a tendency towards schizophrenia. The doctor urged her to get checked quickly, otherwise, if it developed into schizophrenia over time, it would be difficult to treat.
Seeing this chat, the boy’s mind went blank. No wonder, no wonder he felt Seventy-Six was so strange.
This…
