The Heartbeat Fallacy — A Friend's Defense

I was just joking. She's not that thin-skinned, is she? I didn't even mean it. You used to call me monkey in front of a crowd, and I didn't get mad. Did I? You must be misremembering. I'm young, how could my memory be bad? Don't ever talk about my girlfriend like that again. Would you like it if I called you fatso? Exactly. What? Fatso? You actually called me that?

I was just making an analogy. You're not actually fat. Lin Feng, how can you talk to me like that, all because of her? Have you forgotten she's my girlfriend?

Chen Qian, it's normal for him to defend his girlfriend. Calm down. Fine.

I'll treat you all to dinner. You're all ganging up on me. In that case, eat without me.

Don't go! Ignore her. Take it or leave it. All that talking

made me starving. I've got it. Let's head back to the dorm. Wash up and sleep.

I'll walk her first. Can you still walk? Forget it. I'll help you.

Lin Feng, Hmm? Can you stay with me a while? Want to chat?

Sure. My car's right here. Let's sit in it. You drank, so you can't drive.

Don't worry. Already called a designated driver. He'll be here soon. Are you hot?

If so, I'll turn on the AC. I'm not hot. Thanks. Why so formal?

What are we to each other? Have you ever seen a girl thank her boyfriend every day? Then I take it back.

No thanks. Nope. Then repay me some other way. My turn.
