A quick note: In Northeastern Chinese, "heartburn" can mean the burning sensation in your stomach after eating too much of something. It can also mean feeling upset and furious about something, so that just thinking about it makes you feel awful.
For example, the thought of Yu Yue finding a boyfriend kept Jian Congming awake all night.
At daybreak, he went to confront Yu Yue, getting straight to the point.
"I've supported you for five years. Pay me back."
"I will."
"That includes food, clothes, and a place to sleep. Everything."
Yu Yue froze, then berated the childish man ten years her senior.
"Jian Congming, have some self-respect."
"No."
