Chapter 3 — Back when I was 18 years old, I clung to you and never let go

Because of something related to his father, he got into a fight with those male students. Not knowing the pain, he risked his life to fight. Another person suffered minor injuries. He was seriously injured. Not only that, the group of rich boys also refused to let go, forcing Ky Tu to kneel down and apologize, otherwise they would find an excuse to beat his father to vent his anger. Ky Tu apologized, but when he returned home, what he saw was still his father covered in injuries. He held the crumpled bills tightly, his face was bruised, but still smiled innocently: "Some boys just said they wanted me to practice their hands, and even gave me a bunch of money. Look, it's a lot, enough for Tieu Tu to pay his college tuition." In my previous life, wasn't that day exactly today! “Uncle!” I ran straight to Ky Tu's father: "This loose suit of yours is so cool, where did you buy it? I also want one like that!" He grabbed the hem of his shirt and said, "The villager gave it to me. If you like it, I'll take it off for you." He said as he was about to take off his jacket, I quickly pulled him into the classroom: "I'm Ky Tu's deskmate, my name is Ha Thu." I kicked the group of people standing there gossiping away. "Sit here! This is my seat." Father Ky Tu quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, sitting on your chair dirty is not good." "It's okay! Ky Tu once told me that his father is a very powerful person!" Ky Tu quietly glanced at me. Father Ky Tu was embarrassed by what I said: "We only work with our hands, we don't have any education, there's nothing powerful about it." "It's better to create wealth with your own hands than those who can't do a pull-up bar and sit around gossiping all day long." "Uncle, your biceps are this strong, all muscle? Oh my god, people who go to the gym are not sure they can build a figure like this!" "It's very difficult to have a chance to go to school. Please talk to Ky Tu a lot. Although he doesn't talk much, he's actually very thoughtful. Don't be mistaken by his indifferent appearance. He actually listened very carefully. Just now, I couldn't do my homework, and he helped me." I pulled out two bottles of Wahaha from my bag, one bottle gave to Ky Tu's father, one bottle gave to Ky Tu. “Sit down, drink some water, talk slowly.” 11 Father Ky Tu just sat for a while and then left. Before leaving, he also took out a jar of chili sauce from his cloth bag and repeatedly thanked me: "My family's Tieu Tu is quiet and doesn't like to communicate. Having you as a table mate, he's very happy." Is it fun? I patted Ky Tu's shoulder who was working non-stop on his homework. "What's wrong, just now the class was normal, but now you don't want to talk to me anymore?" Ky Tu didn't say anything, just focused on doing his homework. But no matter how long it has been, the problem still stops at the first sentence. I really don't understand why he's mad at me. Until I reached into the desk drawer to get my exercise book and discovered the bag of snacks was still there. "Why did you give it all back to me? This package of spicy noodles is really delicious, try it, try it." I tore open the packaging and shoved it straight into his mouth. Seeing that his mouth was full of chili oil, I was satisfied and threw the trash bag into the basket. “Is it delicious?” I look forward to his answer. Ky Tu slowly chewed the spicy bite before nodding: "Yes." “Then from now on I will buy you something to eat every day!” "No need." Ky Tu flatly refused. Pausing for a moment, he said again: "I'm not interested in being a tool for you to anger Giang Tham." I was stunned for half a second, then laughed: "Ky Tu, you are no different from seven years later, just as petty." Ky Tu seven years later, just seeing me and Giang Tham breathing the same air made me feel uncomfortable for half a day. It turns out he's been this petty since high school. I held Ky Tu's hand and placed it on my chest. Blinking his eyes very sincerely: "Ky Tu, this heart is yours." The moment his hand touched my chest, Ky Tu immediately withdrew as if burned: "Don't do that in the future." Having been married for a long time, I have not been able to correct my habits for a while. “I just want you to know.” Ky Tu replied softly: "I know." “So good.” I patted his head, the soft and smooth feeling in my hand was really addictive. “What are you two doing!” A deep voice rang out from above. I raised my head, frightened by the eyes glaring at me. “Giang Tham, are you sick?” Giang Tham was mad: "He just took advantage of you, don't you know how to push it away?" I find it difficult to understand what the story of that person and his wife has to do with an outsider like him. “Why should I push, he is my future husband.” "Huh, how long do you want to cause trouble? Isn't it just because I didn't choose you as my table mate? That you have to resort to self-destruction like this to make me regret it?" I had a headache: "Giang Tham, at best we were just friends, but you said you found me talking too much and annoying, so I don't think we're compatible, now we're not worth being called friends anymore. Why do you have to interfere?" Giang Tham kept looking at the chair I was sitting on and felt itchy: "Don't you have a cleanliness disease? The chair that has been sat on by workers doesn't look dirty, don't you know how to clean it?" He bent down like he was giving alms, trying to get a tissue to wipe me off. I immediately hugged the chair tightly and glared at him: "Giang Tham, didn't you brush your teeth today? Why does your mouth stink?" Giang Tham actually blew out a breath and smelled it: "It's not there." I pulled my chair closer to Ky Tu: "You can't smell your mouth, you can't smell it yourself, stay away from me, I have a disease of cleanliness." 12 Giang Tham finally understood. "Ha Thu, don't regret it later. You know the difference between you and the poor people." "I don't need you to worry about the matter between me and my future husband." I glared at him, pretending to be serious, taking out my homework and planning to do it. I really don't understand any of these topics. Maybe Ky Tu knows! I turned my head to look at Ky Tu. The hallway light shined through the window at just the right moment, illuminating his profile. The corners of his lips no longer seemed to be pursed as tightly as before, and were even slightly curled up. I took out the bag of snacks hidden in the desk drawer: "Please Ky Tu, you're the most kind person, teach me math, I want to take the exam at the same school as you." “I choose the food very carefully, these dishes are all strictly selected by Ha Thu, they are extremely delicious!” “Hey hey hey, please.” Ky Tu blushed, looked away, but still held out his hand in front of me: "I know." I smiled happily: "Ky Tu is the best!" 13 After school, I was still worried that Ky Tu would cause trouble with the other group because of his father's matter. A dirty mouth deserves to be beaten, but thinking about those punches that will land on Ky Tu, I'm not willing. Ky Tu walked a few steps and then returned stop. “Why do you keep following me?” "No one cooks at my house this weekend. I want to go to your house to eat, and then eat..." My voice suddenly stopped mid-sentence. The mouth goes first, the brain cannot keep up. I was almost seen as a greedy little girl. Ky Tu glanced at me faintly: "It's up to you." Ky Tu's house is very simple, but clean and neat. "Uncle, no one cooks at my house this weekend. I want to come over to eat." “Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'll go buy some meat!” “No need, uncle!” I quickly stopped: "Lately I'm losing weight, I don't want to eat meat, eating vegetables is fine, eat green and clean to stay healthy!" When it was time to eat, I dug out a bowl full of rice. At a young age, the atmosphere is so cheerful, the taste is so good. I said while chewing my rice: "Uncle, I'm so jealous of Ky Tu having you by my side. I'm alone at home every day, very lonely." Father Ky Tu smiled and narrowed his eyes: "If you don't mind, if you have free time, just come over and play. I'm happy to see you. You're both pretty and smart, and your personality complements Tieu Tu's." "Great! So can I stay here for a few days?" Father Ky Tu was somewhat confused: "The living room is filled with a lot of things. If you clean it up, you can still live in it, but can you bear it?" “Plus the network here is weak, it's very difficult for phones to get online.” I shook my head: "It's okay! Staying at home playing on the phone is boring, and here Ky Tu can also teach you how to do your homework!" For two days on the weekend, I shamelessly stayed at Ky Tu's house to be a freeloader. "Ky Tu, I told you to cook breakfast for me when I went out this morning~" "Ky Tu, I can't do this lesson~" "Ky Tu, Ky Tu..." Ky Tu's father loved me very much. Ky Tu was very obedient to his father. After all, Ky Tu also likes me. Sunday night, Ky Tu had to return to school. I also followed. “Uncle, I will visit you often in the future, please remember to take care of your health!” 14 Ky Tu carries two backpacks on his back. “This part of the road is a bit difficult to walk. Once you get to the beginning of the road, you can catch a bus.” I followed behind: "There's no need to take the bus, you can take the bus!" He turned his head to look at me: "Can you still walk?" “Of course, don't look down on me, I'm very strong —— hey?” Ky Tu suddenly squatted down in front of me, signaling me to climb up. “Your heels are blistered.” As soon as you said it, I realized that it was actually a bit painful. But I think it's not because of the road, but because the shoes don't fit my feet. “If I climb up, will you think I'm weak?” "No." Then I won't be polite anymore. At eighteen, Ky Tu's back was not as wide as when he was twenty-five, but it was enough to make people feel secure. “Ky Tu, you are the best.”
