Li Hansong was called out by his roommate to talk about something, and when he came back, the auditorium was packed with people.
He was just looking for a gap to crawl into when a female voice that made his scalp tingle rang in his ears.
"Brother Li."
Li Hansong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Comrade Ge Hongxia."
Ge Hongxia was not alone, there was Xiao Qiao standing next to her. There was a movie showing that day, and Wen Xueman gave Xiao Qiao a day off so that she could go out and play.
Xiao Qiao nudged Ge Hongxia's arm and said with a grin, "Is he Director Li? He's a nice guy."
Ge Hongxia glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Li Hansong didn't dare to get entangled with Ge Hongxia, and was about to attack her when he saw this.
Xiao Qiao stopped him, "Director Li, please stop talking. Hongxia still has something to tell you."
Li Hansong ignored him and turned around.
Seeing that he avoided her like the plague, Ge Hongxia felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Is she really that bad? He didn't even bother to take a second look.
As if by magic, Ge Hongxia quickly stepped forward, grabbed Li Hansong's sleeve, and timidly said, "Brother Li, I, I don't have a seat at the movie, can I sit with you?"
Li Hansong pulled his sleeves out reflexively and said coldly, "No."
Ge Hongxia's body was shaken by the force he pulled out.
Xiao Qiao couldn't bear to see her good sister being humiliated, so she stood up for Ge Hongxia and said, "Director Li, when a girl talks to you, you should at least be polite, right?"
Li Hansong said impatiently: "For the sake of Commissioner Yu, I have been very polite. Otherwise, Comrade Ge Hongxia's behavior could have been defined as hooliganism. Remember, it is not only men who can be hooligan to women."
Ge Hongxia was immediately embarrassed and sad, "I just pulled your sleeve, and you think I was being a hooligan?"
"Any harassment that causes the other person physical discomfort and very serious distress is hooliganism." Li Hansong's voice was emotionless. "Comrade Ge Hongxia, all your actions make me feel harassed. Please stop. Girls should respect themselves."
Li Hansong was not a person who liked to say harsh words. This was the first time in his life that he treated someone so ruthlessly, and the other person was a girl.
In order to take Ge Hongxia's self-esteem into consideration, he tried to speak in a low voice. The people in front of him were all paying attention to the movie, and no one came to laugh at Ge Hongxia's joke.
But Ge Hongxia still felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face, and it was burning with pain.
She stood there in a daze.
Xiao Qiao was more irritable, and immediately pinched her waist and cursed, "What's so great about you? You're just a crappy director! Our Hongxia's brother-in-law is still a committee member! It's your blessing that she likes you, how shameless!"
Xiao Qiao was not well educated and did not know how high a rank a section chief was. She only knew that the highest-ranking officials in the entire camp were the division commander and the party committee member, and that Ge Hongxia was the sister-in-law of the party committee member and was not afraid of offending Li Hansong.
So she cursed without restraint.
"You said Hongxia was being rude to you, but it was you who seduced her and was being rude to her!" Xiao Qiao suddenly got an idea while cursing, "That's right, it was you who was being rude, you touched her!"
Xiao Qiao grabbed Li Hansong's arm and screamed, "Someone is being a hooligan——"
All of a sudden, the people in front turned their heads.
Ge Hongxia stared at Xiao Qiao with wide eyes, "Are you crazy? What are you talking about?"
Xiao Qiao whispered in Ge Hongxia's ear: "He has humiliated you so much, why don't you punish him? I will testify for you and say that he touched you. Let him drink a pot of wine!"
Then, Xiao Qiao yelled even louder, "Someone is bullying Yu Weiwei's sister-in-law. Come and catch the bad guy!"
Li Hansong couldn't believe it: "You, you..."
More and more people gathered around, and Li Hansong's voice of defense was completely drowned out.
"What are you arguing about!" The crowd made way for him, and Xiao Chen walked over with his hands behind his back, his face ashen.
"Deputy Division Commander Xiao," Li Hansong explained the incident briefly as if he had seen a savior, "...This female comrade said that I touched Comrade Ge Hongxia, which is a slander!"
Xiao Yu's eyes immediately fell on Ge Hongxia, and he asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, did Comrade Li Hansong touch you?"
Ge Hongxia pinched her palms and opened and closed her mouth twice, but no sound came out.
Xiao Qiao was worried, mainly because she was afraid that Ge Hongxia would tell the truth. That would mean she was lying, and she couldn't let Ge Hongxia fail at the critical moment.
"I touched it, that's it!" Xiao Qiao nudged Ge Hongxia's arm, "Don't worry, Hongxia, let your brother-in-law take care of it for you!"
Everyone stared at Ge Hongxia.
Ge Hongxia lowered her head and bit her lip. After a long while, she said in an almost inaudible voice, "I touched it."
Xiao looked at her sternly, "Are you sure?"
Ge Hongxia closed her eyes and nodded heavily.
The moment she nodded, Ge Hongxia was stunned.
She slandered Li Hansong for being a hooligan to her not because she wanted to punish him, but because she was fantasizing that Li Hansong would accept her and marry her in order to clear himself of the crime of hooliganism. But after she lied, she felt a little sorry for him...
No matter what Ge Hongxia thought, she nodded and had already pushed the matter to a high step. Whoever was on the step would eventually fall down.
