The red-haired boy got up from the ground, and the beef, mutton, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms slipped off his body and fell to the ground. He was in a mess and yelled at Xu Yanfeng, "Who the hell are you? Minding my business!"

His fists were clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound, and he looked like he was about to start a fight at any second. His companions at the table next to him also stopped watching the fun and looked at each other with frowns on their faces.

Seeing that something was wrong, the waiter immediately called the manager over.

The manager didn't want to make things worse, so he went to appease the most difficult red-haired boy in the crowd: "Friend, friend, let's talk things over clearly and don't resort to violence."

The red-haired boy refused to give in, pointing at Xu Yanfeng's nose, spit flying everywhere: "He started it first, I'm going to call the police! Just wait, I'll make you pay for it."

"Okay, let's call the police." Xia Xi stepped out from behind Xu Yanfeng and said to the boy, "I'm going to sue you for sexual harassment first."

"Who sexually harassed me?" The red-haired boy denied it flatly. "What evidence do you have?"

He knew the store had surveillance cameras, but he hadn't done anything intrusive. At most, his words were a bit explicit, and the cameras couldn't pick up any sound. Even if the cameras could pick up sound, he had deliberately moved closer to the girl and lowered his voice when he spoke, so no one except the girl and him could hear him, let alone be recorded by the cameras.

The police couldn't just settle a case based on one side of the story, so he felt confident and even turned the tables: "I accused you of seducing people in public. Didn't you just call me brother and say you'd treat me to a midnight snack?" His eyes swept across Xu Yanfeng's frosted face, "Oh, you saw someone more handsome and couldn't wait to pick up someone else?"

He curled his lips in a ruffian manner and sneered softly: "It's obvious that she is not a decent woman, why are you pretending to be pure..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard on the face. The red-haired boy didn't even see how the man hit him. He just felt a pain at the corner of his mouth and a bloody taste spread in his mouth.

The red-haired boy's face tilted to the side, and he didn't wake up for a long time, as if he had been hit. He covered his cheek and turned back. The nonchalant expression on his face disappeared, leaving only fierceness: "Fuck you, you're done."

He clenched his fist and threw it, but Xu Yanfeng dodged sideways. The boy was furious and shouted to his companions, "What are you still standing there for? Kill him!"

Chen Mian and others who came to eat with Xu Yanfeng rushed over, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight.

The situation became serious. The manager was overwhelmed with sweat. He quickly called a few more people to stop the red-haired boy and his companions. He tried to smooth things over in a gentle manner: "We're all here to eat, what are you doing? Give me some face and stop making trouble. I'll give you a free meal at this table. I'll have someone bring over a few more plates of meat. Let's have a peaceful meal. Don't..."

The manager was beaten by the red-haired boy and didn't say anything else.

Xia Xi didn't expect that she would run into such a tough guy when she went out for a meal. In the end, the customers in the store were afraid of being affected and helped to call the police.

The police station was just two blocks away, and the response was very quick. The police arrived and took the whole group away to take a statement.

There were four people in Xu Yanfeng's dormitory, four people in Xia Xi's dormitory, seven or eight people from the red-haired boy's group, and the barbecue restaurant manager, a total of nearly twenty people, and the police station could hardly accommodate them.

The red-haired boy refused to behave himself even at the police station, insisting that it was Xia Xi who seduced him.

Xu Yanfeng's hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists, the knuckles turned white, and the veins from the back of his hands to his forearms were tense. If Chen Mian had not discovered it in time and held down his arms tightly, he might have beaten the boy again in front of the police.

The police questioned everyone one by one. When it came to Xia Xi, she took out her cell phone without saying a word and played a recording, which was the evidence of the red-haired boy initially stopping her and verbally harassing her.

Combined with the on-site surveillance video provided by the barbecue restaurant, it can be seen that it was the red-haired boy who first blocked Xia Xi's way and tried to grab her wrist, but she avoided it in time.

After all the evidence was laid out, Xia Xi finally began to explain, "He was the one who harassed me first. My... friend saw me and came to help. He wasn't convinced, so he not only verbally abused me but also called on his companions to attack him."

The red-haired boy knew he was in the wrong and didn't argue with that point, but he caught on to one thing. He pointed at Xu Yanfeng and angrily said, "Uncle police, he was the first to start. He pushed me and punched me. Look, my face is all swollen."

The barbecue restaurant manager, holding his bloody nose, interjected at the right moment: "You attacked me first."

The red-haired boy was speechless.

The police understood the situation and criticized them.

Finally, the two sides negotiated and decided to settle the matter privately.

After walking out of the police station, the red-haired boy was still holding back his anger. He turned his head and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground. The wound on his face was real. The boy who hit him didn't even get a corner of his clothes dirty. How could he just let it go like that?

He gritted his teeth and threatened Xu Yanfeng, "Just wait, sooner or later I'll make you kneel down and beg for mercy, you little bastard."

Xu Yanfeng hadn't said a word since the police finished questioning him. He glanced at him coldly and said, "I'll stick with you till the end."

The red-haired boy was intimidated by the coldness that flashed across his eyes. His facial muscles trembled a few times, but he didn't dare to refute.

Xia Xi looked at Xu Yanfeng. What happened that night overturned her perception of him. She was shocked and dizzy. After the group left, she asked Xu Yanfeng, "Why are you there?"

Xu Yanfeng glanced at her and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'm having dinner with my roommates tonight?"

"Oh, yes." Xia Xi slapped her forehead. She was confused and forgot about this. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the people from the two dormitories were having a dinner together at that barbecue restaurant tonight.
