It's Not Easy Being Your Love Rival's Big Brother

Chapter 1 (2)

Once again, the baked cake came out of the oven. Master Zhao squeezed his somewhat sore shoulders and looked at the other people around. Most them had their heads buried, and they were all busy. He thought the atmosphere in the kitchen today was too dull.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and it was already four o’clock in the afternoon. Uncertain, Master Zhao looked around a lap, and not see the usual noisy figure, the doubt grew greater in his heart.

With his elbow, he hit the apprentice next to him. Master Zhao asked, “Little Zhou, Wei Han, that silly kid? I haven’t seen his shadow all day. Usually he always hang around in front of my eyes. What, is he too lazy to come to work today?”

Little Zhou seized by the two sensitive words “Wei Han”, quivered from head to foot, and lowered his voice. “Shh! Master Zhao, you should lower your voice a bit. Be careful that you’re not heard by the store manager. You can’t mention Big Brother Wei. He’s a big taboo.”

“That silly kid became a taboo?” Master Zhao heard it and became silly.

Little Zhou sighed. “Ai, Master Zhao, you weren’t in the store yesterday. It’s no wonder you don’t know. Big Brother Wei was driven out by our stingy store manager. The two also took a trip to the police station.”

“What? What happened? Quickly tell me.”

Little Zhou nodded his head and put his mouth to Master Zhao’s ear. “Yesterday morning, Big Brother Wei’s friend specially came to find him. Big Brother Wei immediately put down his work and happily walked past. Afterwards, who knows what the two people talked about, but that man had just left when Big Brother Wei rushed into our kitchen. His complexion was very pale, and he grabbed the unfinished cake at hand and bit it. He finished after a few bites, and carried on eating the next one.”

Master Zhao froze for a few seconds. “…Did he suddenly starved to death and reincarnated as a ghost that hadn’t eaten meat for several days?”

“Uh…maybe.”

“Anyway, one after the other, whether it’s cake, biscuits, egg tart, or pizza, whatever Big Brother Wei saw, he ate. Everyone was frightened by him and came forward to stop him. But who knew where his big strength came from, he simply couldn’t be stopped,” Little Zhou went on.

This time, Master Zhao couldn’t even joke, and stared with wide eyes, “This…this was what Little Wei did? I see he’s always been upright and honest before. Even when he’s bullied by our stingy store manager, he doesn’t say anything. Head of melon seeds, lacking in muscles, he’s too silly.”

In Master Zhao’s impression, Wei Han never arrived late, worked hard and was enthusiastic. In addition to making cakes and sweets, usually he also helped wipe the tables and cabinets and cleaned the kitchen. He was a kid who bustled in the kitchen and never stayed idle.

There were a lot of times when the store manager took Wei Han as free labor. Not only did he make him work overtime, but he instructed him to do a lot of the heavy drudgery, and also deliberately deducted his wages. Wei Han laughed “hehe” and didn’t feel like complaining. Who knew whether he was really silly or pretending to be silly.

“I haven’t finished talking yet, there’s more! Afterwards, the store manager hurriedly rushed over and when Big Brother Wei saw the store manager, his expression turned terrible. He shouted out his resignation, but also roared out all the grievances in the past few years, saying, ‘the ruthless fear the unreasonable, the unreasonable fear the rash, the rash fear those not wanting life’. The store manager was so angry his eyeballs almost burst out, but he didn’t dare to step forward. Finally, he called the police and they came before this matter was settled.”

After listening to Little Zhou’s long narration, Master Zhao let out a long sigh. “Drop my mother. I didn’t expect Little Wei who’d borne this burden for so long would unexpectedly…seems like he’s not really silly. But what he did yesterday was so brazen, could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit?”

Little Zhou shook his head. “Yesterday, after Big Brother Wei fiercely cursed at the manager, his whole person became absent-minded and spiritless, crying while eating the cake, and vaguely shouted something like ‘Little Yao’……

“As soon as I heard, I immediately reacted. Wasn’t this who Big Brother Wei kept mentioning all day long, the name of the love interest who lives with him? So I thought it over and it’s most likely the wife ran away with someone else.”

“Ai…” Master Zhao sighed and repeatedly shook his head. “Is that girl blind? I, Old Zhao, on my conscience can say that originally Little Wei’s body was sturdy and robust. Then he said he wasn’t worthy of his wife. Everyday he ate less, running and jumping when he’s free, and going to what fitness center to torment himself desperately. But later, this Little Wei dropped a few dozen pounds of meat, he also seemed to be a very vigorous lad, really handsome.”

“That’s right. I also think that when Big Brother Wei was fat, he was sturdy and gave a sense of security. When he became thin, his appearance was handsome.”

Thinking of Wei Han, every month his wages were not much. In addition to subsidizing the family expenses, the rest was estimated to be spent on his wife. Master Zhao suddenly had a bit of a panic.

He was all of twenty-seven years of age, guarding his sweetheart for seven years. It seems like this year, he’d foolishly hoped to get married. The originally thick body also lost that much weight, it depended on his perseverance and infatuation. Nowadays, where can you find such a good man, how can they fall apart? Really pitiful.

“Ai, I hope that silly boy can have a better future.”

Twelve o’clock at night, Xinyang Garden Court C, building unit three. The “Divine Comedy” came out of Room 802 one after another?

“Why am I always the one who’s hurt? What am I doing wrong? It’s my heart that you don’t understand, oh! You don’t understand…”

“I am the one who loves you the most. How can you part with me. I feel sad. I’ve invested so much in you, but you haven’t been moved…”

“What a painful realization, you once were my everything…”

……

Really, this burst of ‘wailing ghost and howling wolves’, completely tone deaf, was enough to make people run away and become deranged.

The full-of-lethality singing floated to the next door, and awoke the couple who’d been intoxicated in dreamland. They only felt that their ears had been gang-raped countless times, and were already not themselves anymore.

At the moment, the couple who were forced to sit up in the middle of the night, angrily stood in front of Room 802. Since no one responded to the several doorbell rings, the shrewish, strong-character wife began to “bang bang bang” pound on the door.

“Oh, mother, I…I’m almost dying. Wife, you have to stand strong ah.”

The husband painfully covered his two ears, and kept wanting to knock his head against the wall. The devil music pierced his ears; listen to it again, he’d bleed from his seven apertures and die.

The woman gritted her teeth and grabbed their family’s shovel used to fend off thieves, and once again pounded on the door. “Fuck! The stupid, deficient idiot inside, stop singing. Fucking all pig-killing sound, if you don’t shut up, this old woman will fucking raid your home! Call the police!”

The voice hadn’t fallen when the door opened and in an instant, a horrifying face appeared.

His eyes bleak and lifeless, a man was shrouded in a haze, and his mouth was chewing something. His mouth and collar had a lot of vague crumbs, but also stained with bright red liquid…

“Clang, dong!” The woman immediately dropped the shovel and was suddenly scared silly, hiding herself behind her husband. Instead, she pushed her husband forward.

The “shield” husband also had a burst of scalp numbness, but still bit the bullet, trembling said, “Good…good people have safe lives. Be charitable and spare us. Let us go to sleep, okay?”

The owner of Room 802…Wei Han forcibly squeeze his throat, finally swallowed the pork chop down, and stepped across the doorstep. “Oh, I’m sorry. I was too engrossed in singing and temporarily forgot.”

The couple, “……”

In the light of the corridor, the couple clearly saw Wei Han. A big man, face with not-yet-dried tears, was wearing Doraemon cartoon pajamas. His mouth and collar were full of cake and bread crumbs, mixed with red…ketchup.

The couple were dumbstruck again.

“What the hell! Did your parents die?” The shrewish woman immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted.

“Go, go, don’t talk nonsense.” The man who didn’t like to cause trouble felt that his wife was a bit too much. He smiled mildly, “But mister, you usually are very quiet. Suddenly so noisy, it shouldn’t be that something happened to your parents, right?”

Wei Han shook his head, and the man was a bit relieved. The result was in the next second, “They already had an accident.”

The man’s heart came up again, “Ah?”

Wei Han pinched his fingers to calculate, in dead earnest said, “My dad hasn’t been around for more than ten years and definitely would have reincarnated. The year before, my mother had a serious illness and was taken away, but she hated to part with me, so it’s estimated that within the first two years, she’ll also come to see me. I calculated that at this time, she just might come back to see me.”

Hearing his words, the couple felt a coldness on their backs, the air becoming overcast and chilly. The man couldn’t help trembling. “…Oh, pardon me, pardon me. Then are your other relatives fine?”

“My grandma is still in her hometown. On Chinese New Year, she waits for me to bring home a daughter-in-law to see her.”

“Aiyo, truly pitiful. Then your wife?”

“Wife?” Wei Han’s eyes suddenly got bright, but instantly extinguished again. “A full seven years, to be totally devoted to him. In the end, he broke up with me yesterday, and put on the engagement ring from another man.”

“Fuck! How can this be? That person really isn’t human.” The gossip-loving woman suddenly burst into anger.

“I was angry with him, hated him, but I was angrier and hated myself even more.”

For so many years, Wei Han had no hope of a promotion. However, he saw his boyfriend Chu Chuanyao mixed with better and better people. Mixing with the upper class, all day long he came into contact with a pile of tall, rich and handsome men. Whatever those men wanted, they had. They wanted to be more outstanding, then they would be more outstanding. How was he comparable.

However, obviously Chu Chuanyao was surrounded by many excellent and courteous men. Why did he unfortunately have to choose “Qi Zhifan”, that arrogant and rude guy who wouldn’t even shake his hand when he first met him!

Not only that, but he also ridiculed him by saying “cuddly” and laughed at the fat-to-death fatty who all along didn’t deserve Little Yao. Seeing the tonnage, he was destined to be alone in this life, fuck! This also led to his weight loss later on.

However, when he thought about it again, dating for seven years, he’d always thought Chu Chuanyao was younger than he was, and very carefully cared for him, not daring to do too much. As a result, the most intimate move was to hold his little hand and kiss his forehead.

Nowadays, the gentle and pure good gong was destined to be cannon fodder. In the novels and TV shows, how come all the male protagonists were mad tyrants!

He should have been a bit more domineering early on. Wasn’t it just rolling in the sheets? Rolling more would be healthier. If his and Chu Chuanyao’s relations had stabilized early on, on the stage this time, who could say but that they’d be husbands living their lives happily together.

“I believe you also have your advantages, sir,” the man comforted.

“My advantages? Well, my stomach has a very big appetite. I can make a lot of delicious food, and even more, love to eat delicious food. Then…then there’s no more. Tone deaf, fat and frightened and foolish, does this count?” Wei Han can’t help but laugh bitterly.

“……” Life is hard enough as it is, ai. The couple looked at each other. It’s better not to ask. Asking caused more sadness, more blood and tears.

“Well, you continue. We won’t bother you.”

Closing the door, Wei Han continued to eat, starting his non-human “wolf down his food” mode.

At the beginning, Wei Han still had a runny nose and tearful eyes. Later he thought, wasn’t it just breaking up? He was a twenty-something year old man. It was too fucking unreasonable. So grief and indignation turned into appetite, and the broken-hearted appetite “chewing”, kept eating things.

Before his falling out with the store manager and getting thrown out, he also thought that if he could eat a little, the store manager would lose a little, and he could earn back a little. Even he also knew that this idea and behavior was simply ridiculous.

The sadder Wei Han was, the more he loved to eat madly. Only his true love of gourmet food would never betray him. His true love betrayed him, so he must not betray the gourmet food!

After three consecutive days of binge eating, Wei Han was accidentally choked to death.

Wait…wait a moment, he didn’t want to die!

Also this kind of death, wasn’t God really playing with him?
