Chapter 11 — After Rebirth, I Won't Marry You Anymore

At that time he had not yet been encased in a hard rock by responsibility and habit. He will eat grilled sweet potatoes with me on the side of the road, and will laugh for a long time just because I peeled the potatoes into the shape of a map. People can get worse. Could also get better. But changing in a good direction takes time. I don't rush to conclusions. 14 Old wedding dresses Finally, the bad reviews were investigated. Not Lam Tri Dao. It's a newly opened chain restaurant at the end of the street that hires people to lead public opinion. The owner saw that our restaurant was stealing orders for the evening so he wanted to scare the small shops. After the platform processed it, all bad reviews were deleted, and the other side also came to apologize. After listening, my father folded his arms and stood in front of the restaurant door: "What about chain restaurants? Are chain restaurants allowed to bully Nam Phong? My radish soup pot also has a 'chain' for twenty years, connecting from my house's pot to the stomachs of the whole neighborhood." Tong Chi clapped his hands: "If Uncle Hua doesn't perform stand-up comedy, it's truly a loss for the industry." After that, the restaurant became even more crowded. Patrons found the restaurant to be able to withstand inspection. New customers see that this small shop really has real power. Ta Nghien Thanh took advantage of the opportunity to help me sign another order for another office building. I was so busy that my feet couldn't touch the ground. I almost forgot that after the annulment, there was still something pending. The wedding dress shop called and said the wedding dress I ordered had been repaired and asked if I could still come pick it up. I was stunned for a few seconds. The wedding dress in my previous life... I used to wear it. On the day of the wedding, Chu Chieu Da promised to be with me from beginning to end. But half an hour before the ceremony started, Lam Tri Dao suddenly stood outside the break room crying, saying her mother was missing again, her whole body shaking so much that she couldn't stand. Chu Chieu Da looked at me, his eyes full of guilt. I still remember when I was wearing a wedding dress and sitting on the sofa. The skirt flap covers the ground. Like a flower forced to bloom very large. He said:

“I'll go confirm and be right back.”

I don't stop. The ceremony was delayed twenty minutes. When he came back, MC was so impatient that his head was covered in sweat. All the guests looked at me. Relatives of the Chu family say police work is very special. My relatives say the bride must be generous. I stand on stage. Laugh until your face is stiff. That day everyone complimented me on my understanding. No one asked... whether I was satisfied or not. In this life, I stood in front of the wedding dress shop, looking through the glass at the white dress hanging inside. Each layer of skirt is stacked on top of each other. Under the lights, it's really beautiful. The staff saw me coming and warmly walked over:

"Miss Hua, please try again. Even though the wedding date has been changed, you can still get the dress first."

I shook my head:

"Don't take it anymore. Can you change it to another style?"

The staff was stunned:

“Another type?”

I looked at that white dress and suddenly said:

"Change it into an evening dress. No need for a skirt, no need for a veil. You have to wear it so you can walk, be able to go on stage, and be able to carry the dress yourself."

Staff hesitant:

“If you change a wedding dress into an evening dress, it will waste a lot.”

"No problem."

Perhaps she has met too many people who canceled their engagements at the last minute, so her eyes are more cautious:

“Are you sure?”

I nodded: As soon as I finished speaking, the wind bell in front of the door rang. Chu Chieu Da walked enter. When he saw the wedding dress, he stopped walking. The staff's eyes immediately lit up, probably thinking this was a reunion after separation, even their breathing became lighter. I turned to:

“What are you doing here?”

“The wedding dress shop also called me.” he said. “They said they couldn't contact me.”

I took out my phone and discovered that I was so busy this morning that I didn't answer the phone. Chu Chieu Da stepped in front of the wedding dress, reaching out as if to touch it, but in the end she withdrew it.

“Are you going to fix it?”

He asked softly:

“Not keeping anything back?”

I looked at myself in the mirror. Normal t-shirt. Hair tied loosely. The back of my hand still had some flour on it from kneading the dough this morning. Compared to that wedding dress... Now I'm more like myself.

“There is nothing wrong with the wedding dress.” I said. “It's just that he shouldn't continue to stand guard for that wedding anymore.”

Chu Chieu Da gently closed his eyes. The staff quietly stepped aside, so busy talking that they almost forgot their professional manners. Chu Chieu Da took out a small box from his pocket and placed it in front of me. It's a ring. In my previous life, when he put it on for me, his fingers trembled slightly. At that time I thought it was because of love. It was only later that he realized that it was the first time he realized that he was about to fully shoulder another person's life, but he didn't know how to carry it.

“I give it back to you.” he said.

I do not accept:

“You keep it.”

“If you keep it, it will be like you are forcing me.”

“You pay me, it's like you're forcing me.” I looked at him. “Chu Chieu Da, will there ever be a day when you won't use things from the past to ask me for answers?”

His fingers stopped. I softened my voice:

"The ring, the wedding dress or a night in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau... are not the answer. What's important is how you live now."

He slowly put the box away.
