The Misheard Affection

Summary

My hearing is bad. When the campus heartthrob asked me to "run an errand" (pǎo tuǐ), I heard "make out with him" (qīn zuǐ). When he asked me to "swipe my meal card" (dǎ fàn), I heard "be his ride or die" (wéi zhe zhuàn). And just like that, in a haze of confusion, we started dating.

Later, I caught him playing poker with his "bro-girl" best friend at a bar. He mocked me: "Dating a deaf girl is torture."

I wasn't having it. I pushed open the door and asked him— "Where can I pick up four free male models?"
