The dinner was over, and I should return to school. I didn't even need to weigh the envelope. I knew that my brother must have put a lot of money in it, enough for me to celebrate a few birthdays. The gift my brother gave me was really good. It was a Tibetan Thangka. I liked its mystery and primitive nature. When I was chatting with my brother in the past, I mentioned it to him. I thought that it had been so long that he must have forgotten about it. I was so busy with work, but I didn't expect him to remember. He has really sacrificed a lot for his sister. When others saw him, they would always have a cold expression. In fact, only I know that he looks really good when he smiles. Perhaps, now that he has learned how to socialize in the business world, sometimes, I don't know, but that's the real him.
When I arrived at the dormitory, everyone was waiting for me. We were discussing what to eat. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to eat hotpot in the dormitory. However, if the building manager found out that we were cooking in the dormitory, it would be terrible. There was no other way. These crazy women in the dormitory would not care about this. So we divided the work. Li Jie, Wang Jing, Huang Huizi, and Zhao Xueping went to buy things, and Wang Xin went to borrow hotpot utensils from his hometown. Zhu Jingxian tidied up the dormitory.
I bought a lot of food in the mall. Wang Jing secretly asked everyone if they wanted to buy wine. I had no objections because I didn't know how to drink. Huang Huizi, Zhao Xueping, and Li Jie all said they wanted to buy, so Wang Jing bought fourteen bottles, two bottles for each person. When we returned to the dormitory, Wang Xin and Zhu Jingxian were ready. We washed all the vegetables and meat. We decided to cut the cake. Otherwise, we might get drunk and not be able to cut it. But I really wasted the cake that brother bought for me. When we started eating, I realized that I was really a drunkard. Other than me, everyone else in the dormitory drank more or less. Especially since Wang Jing could drink six bottles of beer and one and a half catties of white wine alone. It was amazing. The result of that night was obvious. I had never drunk before, but I was forced to drink a bottle of beer by them and was drunk for a day and a night. She only woke up the next night. Her head still hurt and she felt dizzy.
When I woke up, Wang Jing asked me inexplicably," Hey, Fourth Brother, are you in love? Do you have a boyfriend? Why haven't we met before? Tell him the truth and let him treat us to a meal.”
"Is that so? Why didn't I know that I had a boyfriend? Did you make a mistake?”I quibbled.
"No, we heard it very clearly. You kept calling out a name. Hurry up and tell the truth. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences. Just say it. We're not snatching it from you.”Wang Xin said.
"I called out a name, but I don't know what it is.”I asked them.
"Of course you don't know. You won't tell me, right? I really won't tell you." Zhao Xueping also came up to join in the fun.
"I really don't have it. If I did, wouldn't all of you know? I'll definitely let you see it. It's not like it's a treasure. I can still hide it. He really didn't. Trust me." I swore.
"Really? Really? Then who was Shangguan Qiang? Who is it? Tell me the truth, what do you do, and where are you now?”Wang Xin asked me.
"I don't know who Shangguan Qiang is. Did you hear wrongly?”I retorted.
"Stop pretending. You were so noisy last night. You kept calling Shangguan Qiang's name. Wang Jing and I have been taking care of you.”Li Jie looked at me and said.
"Is that so? It was a friend from the past, but they had no contact with each other now. You must have heard wrongly." I rolled my eyes and couldn't be bothered with them. If they knew about anything, the entire department would know.
"Really?" Wang Xin asked me. From your drunken words, I can tell that you're not just an ordinary friend. It doesn't seem like you're not in contact. Hurry up and tell us the truth. Are you really going to have a taste of being tortured by everyone? If you tell the truth, we will let you go.”
"It's true. He's a soldier in Tibet now and is a classmate of my brother. Moreover, he's already married. Did you know? A military wife was protected by the law. Whoever destroys the wife of a soldier will definitely have serious consequences. I'm not that stupid. You're joking with your future." I deliberately said it for everyone to hear.
"Hey, hey, hey, our Fourth Brother is also playing this kind of romance. Isn't it possible to get a divorce after getting married? It's still a soldier. It's fine. When will you come back and let us see? Good things can't be hidden!”Huang Huizi joked.
"We really can't do anything to you guys. We really haven't contacted him for a long time. By the way, my elder brother gave me a gift. It's a unique Tibetan art piece---the Thangka. It's really beautiful and good. Do you want to take a look?" I took out the thangka for everyone to see.
"Don't change the topic. Is that soldier in Tibet? Tell me honestly.”Wang Jing asked me.
"Yeah, how did you know?" I asked.
"Thangka, you know such a strange name. If he wasn't in Tibet, you definitely wouldn't know. You don't like it, but you like the people there!”Huang Huizi said to me with a smile.
"Alright, I won't talk to you guys anymore. Save it. You guys made it sound like something was wrong. Go to sleep!" I protested. He changed the topic. If they continued to ask, they might be exposed. But today is my birthday. What is he doing? Would he miss me as much as I miss him? Will you prepare a gift for me and secretly give it to me like before? Perhaps, he has already forgotten that today is my birthday. Perhaps, he only remembered his wife's birthday now, because that was the person who had spent the rest of his life with him. And I am just a passer-by in his life. In fact, he was not even a passerby. He was just a stranger who was not very familiar with him. Perhaps he was just a stranger now.
