My roommate is completely unhinged.
At the Dragon Boat Festival party, he suggested taking a group photo.
To make sure everyone would smile, he pulled my pants down just as he pressed the shutter.
I shouted furiously.
But he giggled. “Zhou Shiye, what century is this? You still wear high-waisted pants?”
I angrily demanded to know what was wrong with him.
He just widened his eyes and put on an innocent face.
“It’s a sweltering day. What’s wrong with giving everyone a laugh? Can’t you take a joke?”
“Why are you so oversensitive, like a woman?”
I thought he was just a bit thoughtless.
That was until debt collectors came knocking and posted my private photos online for auction.
The comments underneath were vile:
“Nice body. He’d make a killing at a club!”
“He’s the guy who got his pants pulled down at the party, right? I can’t believe a pervert like that got into college.”
I was subjected to endless abuse, and the school was preparing to expel me.
I went to confront him, but my girlfriend stopped me. “So what if they looked? It’s not like you lost a piece of yourself. Why make such a big deal out of it?”
As I was gathering evidence to report him to the police, Gu Chuan shoved me off the balcony.
His face twisted with fury. “You’d really ruin my life over a joke? Then go to hell!”
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival party.
