My childhood friend’s girlfriend barged into my house and slapped me across the face. She even smashed my most expensive tea set. “Manly, you shameless homewrecker! Don’t you have a man of your own? How dare you flirt with someone else’s boyfriend in public? Have you no shame?” she screamed. After the misunderstanding was cleared up, she put on an innocent face and said, “I only did it because I care about Tyler so much! Manly, you won’t hold a grudge against me, will you?” I smiled and said, “Of course not!” I’m the type of person who gets even immediately. So I slapped her back and made her pay for the damages. A week later, she started trying to seduce my husband. It was the middle of the night, and Chris and I were both sound asleep when his phone suddenly rang. He was sleeping like a log, not moving even after I kicked him a few times. I reluctantly reached for the phone, answered it, and put it on speaker next to his ear. Chris mumbled a sleepy “Mmm.” I was also about to drift off again. Suddenly, a sweet girl’s voice came through: “Hello, Uncle Chris!” That voice was an instant wake-up call. I was wide awake in a second. “Uncle Chris, I’m on my period and feeling awful. Could you bring me some sanitary pads?” I turned on the light with a snap, and Chris shot up in bed the next second. He looked at me with terror in his eyes. He tried to grab the phone. I stopped him with a single glare. “Your uncle doesn’t know anything about these things! Come on, tell Auntie what you need! What brand do you like? Day or night use? With wings or without? Auntie will bring them to you!” There was silence on the other end of the line. After a while, the girl let out a light chuckle. “Oh, it’s Manly!” I finally recognized her voice. “Snow?” “Yes, it’s me. Good evening, Manly and Uncle Chris!” Chris and I looked at each other in disbelief. A moment ago, I was already planning where to bury Chris. But now, I was willing to believe in his moral integrity. After all, Snow was Tyler’s girlfriend. And Tyler was our childhood friend. “Have you been drinking?” I asked. Snow giggled, “Manly, you’re so sharp! No wonder even Uncle Chris is afraid of you at drinking parties!” Before I could figure out if there was any hidden meaning in her words, Snow changed the subject: “I was playing Truth or Dare with my friends. I lost, so I had to call Uncle Chris as a dare. Sorry, Manly, for disturbing you and Uncle Chris while you were sleeping. You won’t be mad at me, right?” I replied calmly, “Of course not! But calling Chris was quite a risky dare. After all, he’s a married man. If I hadn’t kept my temper in check and said something nasty, wouldn’t that have been embarrassing for you?” “Married man? Oh, I see. I learned something new. Well, I’ll keep that in mind, Manly! Alright, Manly and Uncle Chris, bye-bye!” The call ended abruptly. I didn’t even have time to respond before I was left stunned. It felt like something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t spit it out or swallow it. “Honey, are you okay?” Chris asked cautiously, looking at me. “Was she insulting me?” I asked with a dark expression. “Uh…” “It’s okay, don’t get upset!” Chris hugged me, trying to comfort me and calm me down. “She was just drunk and talking nonsense. Don’t pay attention to her!” I pushed Chris away, “I haven’t even asked you yet, why did she call you?” Chris swore to heaven, “I don’t know, I really don’t know! Look at my phone, I don’t even have her number saved. I’ve never contacted her before!” “You can check my call history if you don’t believe me. It’s completely clean!” I gave him a look and snatched his phone. He laughed helplessly, “You’re really going to check?” I snorted, “What? Are you afraid?” Chris sighed resignedly, “Fine, fine, check all you want!” I made a sound of disapproval and casually looked through the call history. There really weren’t any other calls. Then I was about to exit and check his WhatsApp. But Chris suddenly hesitated, “Uh, you want to check that too?” I immediately sensed something was off. “Chris!” Chris almost got down on his knees. “Look, check whatever you want! But honey, you have to believe me, no matter what you see… I absolutely didn’t do anything wrong! I swear, if I did anything to hurt you, may lightning strike me down!” I soon understood why Chris looked so scared! Compared to the empty call history, their chat window was quite lively. The most eye-catching thing was Snow’s nickname: S’s Snow. “Huh, S’s Snow? Your Snow?” I asked coldly. That’s right, Chris’s nickname was S, the first letter of his name. Chris used this nickname because we started dating in the summer. Chris put his hands together and looked at me pitifully. “Honey, it’s a misunderstanding, a coincidence, it has nothing to do with me, really!” I glared at him coldly and started checking the chat history. The most recent message was from yesterday: “Uncle Chris, I got some delicious ice cream. Should I bring one for you too?” Below was a selfie of Snow biting into an ice cream cone. To describe it in one word: seductive! Looking further up, three days ago: S’s Snow: “Uncle Chris, how long until you arrive?” S: “About ten minutes. You guys start eating, don’t wait for me.” S’s Snow: “Okay, okay. No rush, Uncle Chris. Drive safely!” S’s Snow: “Uncle Chris, can you bring me a bubble tea? The usual!” S: “OK.” S’s Snow: “Love you, muah!” Going back further, a week ago: S’s Snow: “Uncle Chris, be careful driving home alone. Let us know when you get home safely, don’t make us worry.” S: “OK.” S’s Snow: “Then get some rest early, Uncle Chris. Good night!” The earliest message: “Uncle Chris, I’m Snow. Looking forward to getting to know you better!” This screen full of “Uncle” made me almost forget what the word meant. “Chris, you’re a grown man. You’re not going to tell me you didn’t notice how clingy these messages are, are you?” The angrier I got, the calmer I became. Chris knew this. He stopped trying to make excuses. “I really didn’t notice at first.” “The first time Tyler brought her to have dinner with us, she insisted on adding us as friends, asking us to tell her embarrassing stories about Tyler. Frank and I couldn’t refuse, so I agreed.” “This first message was sent to both Frank and me in front of Tyler.” “The later chats, thinking about it now, might have been her own idea. But at the time, I really thought Tyler had asked her to send them.” “I always replied briefly when I had to, and didn’t respond at all when I could avoid it.” “It wasn’t until she sent me that selfie that I realized something was off. It was too flirtatious, so I ignored her!” “I was planning to find a chance to talk to Tyler about it…” But she stirred up a hornet’s nest with me first. “Honey, I was wrong. I’ll delete her right now!” “Wait!” I interrupted him. “Keep everything. Call Tyler!” “Why?” “We’re going to pick up his little girlfriend together.” I’m the type of person who gets even immediately, or I can’t sleep. Just like last time, when she slapped me, I slapped her back. A week ago, I had just returned from a business trip and hosted a small gathering at home. Frank and Olivia arrived early, and Tyler showed up shortly after. “Where’s your little girlfriend?” I asked. “She just got out of class. She’ll be here soon.” So we left the door open, waiting for her. Frank got bored and found a deck of cards, insisting that Chris play with him. Olivia was busy editing a video on her phone. Tyler pushed Chris aside and started brewing tea for me while discussing the design of his new house. He was the pickiest client I had ever met. Honestly, if he wasn’t a childhood friend, I would never have taken on his project. He shared a few ideas with me. The ideas were good, but I was exasperated! “Bro, it’s over budget! Really, there’s not enough money!” He waved his hand dismissively, “No problem, I’ll ask my dad.” I shook my head repeatedly, “No way, your dad told me not to listen to you!” “Then you can earn a little less!” “How about I pay you to do it?” I said sarcastically. “Really?” he asked eagerly. Just then, Snow burst in. Her footsteps were loud and forceful. “You…” Before Tyler could even stand up, she had already rushed in front of me. She raised her hand and slapped me across the face. “Slap!” Everyone was stunned, including me. It was the first time I had ever been hit. My ears were ringing. The next second, Snow started cursing, “Manly, you shameless homewrecker! Don’t you have a man of your own? How dare you flirt with someone else’s boyfriend in public? Have you no shame?” Chris rushed over and hugged me. His face was dark with anger, his eyes full of concern. “Does it hurt?” Olivia moved quickly, finding some ice from the fridge and wrapping it in a towel to press against my face. “Ouch!” Tyler was holding Snow back, but she was still trying to lunge at me. She struggled and cursed. The sweet little girl from before was now spewing the foulest language. “Enough! Everyone shut up!” Chris shouted. But Snow acted as if she had been greatly wronged, “You’re all protecting her, even though she’s the one behaving inappropriately. And you’re scolding me!” Saying this, she grabbed the tea set from the table and smashed it on the ground! “Stop!” “No!” “Ouch!” “Crash!” That crisp shattering sound wasn’t just the tea set, it was my heart. I stared blankly at the ground. Tyler roared, “Snow, have you had enough? What’s wrong with you?” But Snow? She burst into tears. Then she explained brokenly that when she came in, she saw Tyler and me hugging and kissing, which was why she got so angry. I laughed bitterly. Olivia commented from the side, “So, we’re all invisible?” “Let’s check the security footage,” I said. It’s better to have evidence than to argue pointlessly. After all, not everyone deserves a rational discussion. Facts speak louder than words. Snow fell silent. But she clearly had thick skin. She pitifully grabbed Tyler’s hand. “I’m sorry! But I only did it because I care about you so much! Manly, you won’t hold a grudge against me, will you?” Ha, moral blackmail? I nodded, “Of course not!” I never hold grudges. Because I always get even immediately. Taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, I stepped forward and slapped her across the face. “Slap!” “Whoa!” That was Olivia’s exclamation, enjoying the drama. Frank quickly covered her mouth. “You!” Snow glared at me fiercely. Tyler held her back. She was about to cry, but I stopped her. This was far from over! “The slap debt is settled. Now let’s talk about compensation!” Snow was stunned, “What compensation?” I pointed at the shattered pieces on the floor, “Original price was 12 , 000.
�� l l g i v e y o u a f r i e n d d i s c o u n t , 12,000.I ′ llgiveyouafrienddiscount,10,000!” “A few broken cups for $12,000? Are you crazy about money?” I raised my chin, “Ask your boyfriend. He knows the value.” After all, he’s the kind of person who would pay $8,000 for a single tea cup. Tyler nodded gravely. Snow’s eyes widened. “I don’t believe it. You’re all in this together, ganging up on me!” With that, she ran away crying. Her footsteps clearly showed her panic. In the end, Tyler wanted to give me the $12,000, but I didn’t take it. “When you two get married, I’ll put this on your tab.” I thought that if she behaved herself, I’d let it go. But if she caused trouble for me again, she’d better watch out. After all, as Olivia said, that slap of hers seemed too deliberate! Chris called Tyler. Tyler asked the million-dollar question: “So, I’ve been cheated on?” Chris gasped, “I’m a married man, don’t talk nonsense!” Both men fell silent. When we found Snow, she was crouching pitifully by the roadside. Seeing Tyler, she reached out her arms, “Hug me!” I winced and hissed. Chris asked me what was wrong. I said my tooth hurt! “Oh, Uncle Chris and Manly are here too. I’m sorry for causing you trouble!”
