Chapter 4273: The Other Side 242

That night, Gong Fan did not come out to have dinner with everyone. Instead, he stayed in his room alone.

He had a serious gastric condition. Yun Shishi had warned him about this, too. If he didn’t eat on time, he could end up in serious pain. However, Gong Fan didn’t want to come out. He shut himself in the gloomy room and curled up on the bed, delaying his meal. Sure enough, his stomach started to cramp.

He clutched his stomach tightly, feeling cold all over.

If he had decided to leave, and since Yun Shishi had decided to give him up, then he had no reason to linger. He’d just be indifferent to the end. Let indifference end this. Perhaps it would hurt his heart less if he stayed indifferent to the end.

Gong Fan turned over with difficulty and reached out to switch on the bedside lamp. He fumbled around in the bedside table drawer and indeed found his gastric pills.

Without water, he chewed the pills and swallowed the dregs. He went back to bed, wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, and shivered with cold. This infliction of self torture was like him giving up on himself.

Meanwhile, at the door, Yun Shishi lingered with the dishes that had been reheated three times. She looked at the door longingly but could not summon the courage to knock.

When Mu Yazhe saw that she had been loitering in front of Gong Fan’s door without bothering to have her own meal, he was helpless and amused. He walked over and patted her shoulder gently.

“You haven’t eaten. You should eat first!”

Yun Shishi, however, could not be bothered to eat. The thought of Gong Fan’s gastric condition was too much for her. “He’s going to have a stomachache if he doesn’t eat dinner. But I’ve been standing at the door for a long time and I haven’t heard a thing. Does he rather suffer in silence than talk to me?”

Frustrated, Yun Shishi rubbed at her hair. Her eyes reddened again. “What could have happened? He was fine yesterday, but now he’s changed. He’s caught me off guard!”

As she spoke, she knocked on the door again and said gently, “Are you there? Gong Fan, can you come out for dinner? Mommy made your favorite pork and century egg congee. If you don’t have any appetite, just eat a little to fill your stomach.”

After a while, there was still no response. Yun Shishi bit her lip, her heart aching.

Unable to stand it any longer, Little Yichen shoved her aside and pounded on the door with his fist. “Gong Fan, come out and eat! Do you hear me?!”

He could not bear to see his mother so aggrieved, especially when she had offered her heart, but he had tossed it aside! He had no right!

But no matter how hard he banged on the door, there was no response coming out of the room. Was he completely ignoring all of them?!

Anger surged through the boy. Ignoring Yun Shishi’s attempts to stop him, he kicked the door open!

His violence surprised her, and she rushed in after him. The moment he turned on the lights, he saw the human form curled up under the blanket on the bed.

Little Yichen, who was initially enraged, saw that the bulging figure under the untidy sheets seemed to be tightly curled up. He walked over in confusion and lifted the blanket. He saw that Gong Fan’s body was hunched and his arms crossed.

Beads of perspiration covered his forehead, and some ran down his temples. His pajamas were also obviously drenched in cold sweat.

“What’s going on?”
