Upon hearing that Yu Tou had been beaten up by Zhou San, Ping Ge and I immediately rushed to the airport. We met Zhou San at the airport police station. Because of the language barrier, Ping Ge was the one who communicated the whole time, but I could tell that Zhou San didn't show any remorse and had a tough expression on his face no matter who he looked at.
To clean up the mess, Brother Ping wore a smiling face to everyone he met...
A surge of anger suddenly welled up inside me. If I weren't in a wheelchair, I would have slapped Zhou San right now. He was just too impulsive and reckless.
After some communication, Brother Ping said to me, "I've asked around, and I have to pay a fine and get the victim's forgiveness... Can you contact Fish Head now?"
I quickly said, "I have Yu Tou's contact information, but I don't know if he has activated international roaming."
"Let's try it first... If the fish head wants to pursue this matter, it will be difficult to handle. I heard that this guy is quite ruthless; he smashed the fish head's head open, and he'll definitely need stitches!"
I glanced at Zhou San again, and he happened to look over as well. Only then did his fierce gaze, which was directed at everyone, falter for a moment.
...
I dialed Yu Tou's number, and thankfully the call went through, but it wasn't Yu Tou who answered. I knew it was Yang Sisi, and she asked me, "Who are you?"
"This is Michael... How is Fish Head?"
After a brief silence, Yang Sisi replied, "It's being bandaged."
"Is there anything seriously wrong?"
"What do you think? Every stitch was sewn into the flesh, and because it was a head injury, they didn't even dare to use anesthesia!"
“That must have been quite a ordeal! ...Please apologize to him for me. San San isn't a bad person at heart, he's just prone to impulsive actions. I'll talk to him properly when he gets out.”
"It's fortunate that it's not inherently bad; it managed to smash the fish's head like this. If it were inherently bad, should it have stabbed the fish in the head to death?"
"With such strict security at the airport, he couldn't possibly bring a knife in... Sisi, let's not argue about it for now. Could we ask Yu Tou to explain to the police station at the airport? Let's get him out of there first... Apologize if necessary, compensate if necessary... I'll take responsibility for this!"
"He hit the fish head, and then the fish head had to bail him out... Have you ever seen anything like this?"
“I know you’re angry, but we can’t just stand by and watch him stay there… If you’re really furious, once he’s released, we’ll find a secluded spot, and Fish Head can beat him up however he wants…”
...
Half an hour later, Yang Sisi and Yu Tou bailed Zhou San out. The rest of us stood outside the terminal, the atmosphere heavy because Yang Sisi was giving Zhou San a cold look. Everyone was waiting for Yang Sisi to speak, because we all knew that she was the one who started this whole thing.
Finally, Yang Sisi said to Zhou Sansan, "After all, you are a highly educated person..."
"How could an intellectual like you do something so low as to assault someone at the airport? ...Did he offend you somehow? Or did I offend you?"
Zhou San glared at the fish head, then replied to Yang Sisi, "That guy is a real bastard. He said he came to Thailand with you to see my brother... You barely left before he sent his parents to talk to your parents about the marriage. He just doesn't want to give you a way out... He doesn't respect you at all... Shouldn't you know that your parents met?... I know what he's thinking. If your parents also agree to the marriage, and you happen to be feeling vulnerable, you might have impulsively agreed... He's taking advantage of your vulnerability, that's just how people behave!"
Yang Sisi turned to look at the fish head and asked, "Is what he said true?...Are you really that disrespectful to me?"
"Sisi, let me explain... I didn't disrespect your thoughts at all. I genuinely want to marry you... I didn't mean anything by having my parents go to Shanghai. When we get married, I need to know what your parents' requirements are... I just want to give you the best happiness... I've already talked to my parents and asked them to buy a villa in Shanghai. After we get married, you can live wherever you want. I won't 'force' you to go to Qingdao with me... My parents went there for this reason."
"If you don't get my consent, you're disrespecting me... I hate it when people try to trick me. Don't bring up marriage with me again."
Fish Head's face flushed red and then turned deathly pale. After a long while, he finally said to Yang Sisi, "What terrible mistake did I make?... Why are you treating me like this?"
"Can you honestly say you have absolutely no selfish motives?"
"Yes, I have my own selfish reasons... I just want your parents to know that you and I are a perfect match, and I want them to feel at ease entrusting you to me."
As Yu Tou said this, he turned his gaze to me...
I felt ashamed of myself. Compared to him, I had little to offer Yang Sisi; I would only be a burden to her.
After a moment of silence, Yu Tou pointed at me again and said, “Sisi, don’t think of me as someone with ulterior motives… Last night, I really went to see him for you, and I even gave him the engagement ring, but he didn’t want it… Even though you kept giving him chances, he never intended to marry you… But for your happiness, before I left, I left the ring with Brother Ping. I just wanted to give you one last chance… If you don’t believe me, ask Brother Ping. He can testify that I really left the ring with him.”
Yang Sisi looked at Ping Ge.
It was only then that I realized... it wasn't Yu Tou who wanted to come to me last night; Yang Sisi sent him...
