Xia Yu ate her sesame seed cake, her gaze shifting back and forth between me and Hong Mao. After a while, she asked Hong Mao, who was gulping down soy milk, "I've stayed all night, and I still don't know your name. My name is Xia Yu, and I'm Xia Xiang's younger sister."

Red Hair looked at me, his eyes seeming to say, "So your name is Xia Xiang."

After putting down his bowl, Red Hair said to Xia Yu, "My name is Hua Hong, Hong as in magnificent."

Xia Yu was taken aback. I thought she would laugh out loud like me, but to my surprise, she said, "This name is quite interesting when paired with your surname, just like me, Xia Yu. Hehe, many people ask me if it was raining when I was born when they first heard my name."

"Was it raining when you were born?" Red Hair asked innocently.

"Yes, my mom said it started raining heavily right after I was born."

Red Hair nodded and asked again, "Why is your brother called Xia Xiang? Does it have any special meaning?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Xia Yu glanced at me and laughed merrily. "When my brother was born, there was thunder in the sky. It was said to be the loudest thunder since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he was named Xia Xiang (meaning 'Xia the Sound')."

Red Hair glanced at me furtively, smiled to himself, and continued drinking his soy milk.

After dinner, Xia Yu went to her advisor's house. Before leaving, she quietly told me, "I'm done for. There was no passion in his eyes when he looked at me. I guess he's gay too. If you're really done with Zhang Peng, then you should really make the most of him. To be honest, there aren't many handsome guys like him in your circle." After saying that, Xia Yu flicked her stylish short hair, grinned at me, picked up her backpack, and walked out.

I stared blankly at the closed door, thinking, "Is Red Hair gay? I didn't realize that."

Someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Red Hair smiling at me, his healthy, white teeth gleaming.

"Your sister is gone. Now can you tell me how I got here? At this point, the only thing I can confirm is that I wasn't kidnapped by bad guys."

"You...no...are you?!" I craned my neck and stared at the red-haired man in surprise!

This kid doesn't remember how he got here? ...That makes sense, he was already fast asleep before he got here!

With a sigh, I walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, gesturing for him to sit to the side.

"Tell me what you remember. It's too much trouble to recount the whole process."

"I only remember driving out and you lying to me that your name is Onion. I don't remember anything else." Red Hair crossed his legs as soon as he sat down.

Hey! Whose house is this anyway? And who's asking whom these questions?

Do you remember when you got drunk?

Red Hair thought for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

"Do you remember when you blocked my way on Xueyuan Road while driving drunk?"

"I have a vague impression of it."

"Do you remember when you acted crazy, singing and dancing in the street?"

"Bullshit! How could I do something so unseemly? You're talking nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Red Hair jumped up and stared at me.

Seeing how excited Red Hair was, I couldn't stop laughing to myself.

My brother is talking nonsense, so what? Anyway, you're drunk, and there's no way to verify it when you're drunk!

"Do you remember what you said to me?"

"Don't you remember what I said?"

"Think about it carefully."

Red Hair frowned, thought hard for a moment, and finally shook his head in resignation, "I really can't remember."

"Hehe, let me give you a hint, such as your bank account number and password, mobile phone number, home address, workplace, girlfriend's name..."

"You fucking tricked me!"

Before I could finish speaking, Red Hair suddenly walked over and grabbed my shirt collar.

"How did I mess with you? Dude, show some respect, stop pulling and tugging!" I brushed aside the red-haired man's hand and straightened my shirt. All my clothes are with Zhang Peng; what am I supposed to wear if I ruin them?!

"I don't have a girlfriend, how could I tell you her name! Are you kidding me?" Red Hair said, staring at me with his big, bright eyes.

I was taken aback when I heard that. So, he was dumped by a man yesterday?

Wow! Xia Yu was right! When did this girl get Sun Wukong's Fiery Eye Crystal transplanted?

The next second, the image of Red Hair collapsing into my arms and sobbing loudly flashed through my mind, and a sense of shared misfortune welled up inside me. Looking at Red Hair, I couldn't bear to tease him anymore.

"Okay, to tell you the truth, you almost bumped into me last night after you got drunk, and you even tried to drag me to a club. I wasn't planning to bother with a drunk like you, but seeing you so drunk I was worried you'd get robbed if you slept on the street, so I kindly carried you back."

"real?"

"What's in it for me to lie to you? Believe it or not, it's up to you, but that's the truth." I pulled Red Hair's car keys from my pocket and tossed them to him. "Catch."

Red Hair took the key and examined it for a long time as if it were a map containing the secrets of a treasure.

What's wrong with this guy? Is he afraid I'll switch his keys?

"The car was originally parked on Xueyuan Road, but I reckon it's been towed away by now." I interrupted Red Hair's thoughts and reported the reality to him.

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you drive it back?" Red Hair looked up at me, scrutinizing me from head to toe. His eyes seemed to say: How could you be so dumb? Just drive the car back! Now look what happened, you've got my car towed away!

Looking at Red Hair's "You're so stupid" expression, I got really angry!

Damn it! I do a good deed and people still complain about me? What kind of messed-up society is this?!

“What do you know? All I know how to do is drive a motorcycle!” I yelled at the red-haired guy.

This time it was Red Hair's turn to be stunned. He stared at me blankly for a minute before bursting into exaggerated laughter.

"Hahahaha... You only know how to drive a two-wheeled motorcycle... Why didn't you say so earlier... Hahahaha... I'm so sorry... I wronged you."

"Tch!" Laugh, laugh! Laugh until your stomach cramps, laugh until you're suffocating!

I turned around, ignoring Red Hair's incessant laughter, turned on the TV remote, and turned the volume up high enough to drown out his laughter.

"Come on, come with me to get the car. I'll treat you to a nice meal later!" Red Hair shouted, blocking the TV.

"Why?"

"Idiot! Do you even need to ask? You saved my life, it's only right that I treat you to a meal!"

I chuckled and mouthed to him, "Forget about dinner, you might as well offer yourself to me."

Red Hair didn't understand and loudly asked me what I was talking about. I turned off the TV and said to him, "You're so energetic after just breaking up? I think you should stay home and rest, take care of yourself."

Red Hair was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to reply with just two words, "Fuck!"

I collapsed onto the sofa, laughing so hard I could hardly contain myself.

This kid is so funny!
