Chapter 8 — After Seeing Bullet Mac, I Immediately Took The Male Lead As My Own
During the time when Tham Ky Bach was first welcomed back by the Tham family, Manh Canh Ngon came to see me. He said, the person he always liked was me. He never loved Lam Vi, he only met her because he wanted me to be jealous. As soon as he finished speaking, Lam Vi walked out of the classroom and slapped him hard. She was so angry that she was shaking: "Let's break up! Bad man! Remember—I kicked you!" Manh Canh Ngon seemed to forget that Lam Vi was in the same class as me, and that day she didn't leave school right after school ended. I wanted to laugh, but I was afraid that he would get mad and hit me, so I had to hold back, almost bleeding from my internal injuries. After a while of steady breathing, I looked straight at him and said seriously: "Manh Canh Ngon, actually... you don't like me, you're just not used to being without me. Suddenly there's no one following you, you can't stand it." "But it's okay. After a while, you'll get used to it." “No… it's not like that.” "Why not? From the beginning, you knew I approached you for money. That's why you agreed to be my boyfriend." "Because you know... you can't give love. But you have money. The thing you don't lack the most—is money." He suddenly choked up and could only stand and look at me blankly. I packed my things, without looking back, and left. 19 After the Tham family redid the admission procedures, Tham Ky Bach did not return to his old school again. The Tham family invited a private teacher to teach him at home in Hai Thanh. During the day, he has to get acquainted with the family's chores and listen to lectures from the tutor, because all of his evening time... he spends with me. Just look at it and you'll know—he really, really wanted him and me to go to the same university. My lover tried so hard for me, so how could I—after all, his girlfriend—be the one to hold him back? Under his persistence and my own efforts, my academic achievements have improved significantly. From a student who was at the bottom of the class, I gradually became an example that teachers used to cheer up my friends. I did not disappoint his expectations and passed the entrance exam to the same university with him. Because Manh Canh Ngon did not have the will to study, he eventually chose to study abroad. Before leaving, he texted me: "Did you ever like me? Even if it was just a little." I answered very frankly: "Never." The screen still showed text input… but I received no further messages from him. During summer vacation, while surfing the university forum, I accidentally ate another "melon". A classmate revealed that after learning that Tham Ky Bach was the young master of the Tham family in Hai Thanh, Lam Vi once went to his house to look for him. She waited for a long time in front of the door but still didn't see Tham Ky Bach - because she didn't know that after being accepted into the Tham family, he had already moved. In the end, Lam Vi had to quietly retreat. On the day I entered school, I saw Tham Ky Bach standing in front of the school gate. He wore a simple white t-shirt with jeans, but still made countless female students turn their heads, some even secretly took out their phones to take pictures. He didn't seem to notice at all, just staring blankly at the school gate—until I walked into his sight. His eyes immediately lit up, The corner of his mouth showed an irrepressible smile. Before I could get close, he rushed towards me and hugged me: "Dien Dien, I miss you so much..." I laughed. He's been getting more and more attached to each other—it's obvious we only met a week ago.
