Chapter 1 — Best Friends and Fiance

While going out with his boyfriend, his phone was accidentally lost. When I tracked it down and found it, the person who found it asked me to prove it. I breathed a sigh of relief and confidently said that the lock screen password was my birthday. "Incorrect display." Her eyes were full of doubt. I didn't pay attention, thinking Chau Tu Nien had changed the password, so I raised my hand and used my fingerprint to unlock it. Failed again. I stood there stunned. Chau Tu Nien and I have been together for five years, clearly all of his settings are related to me. She was starting to lose patience. Seeing that I was still stubbornly holding her back, she asked the last question. "Who is the emergency contact?" "It's you." I said my name, my voice carrying a slight tremor. Last month, after I went out at night and was followed by a drunk, Chau Tu Nien was afraid something would happen to me so he set all emergency contacts to me. But the next second, she laughed and put the phone in her pocket. "A decent young girl, why would she trick someone else's phone?" But I didn't believe it. I turned pale and immediately grabbed the phone. She was so angry that she held her tight and didn't let go. Even when we struggled, no one was willing to give in. A phone bell rang. Seeing the name appear on the screen, she laughed proudly. "Look, the owner really called, this is their emergency contact!" After saying that, my best friend and I were holding up the phone and talking, looking at each other. The constant doubts in my heart suddenly had answers. ….. After seeing her off, Chau Tu Nien also ran over. Seeing my unsightly face, he immediately grabbed my wrist, his voice a bit cold. "What's wrong? Is that person giving you a hard time?" I didn't answer, just held up the phone, calmly asked: "What is your password?" Chau Tu Nien froze, instinctively looking at Trang Ha Ha. Then he smiled helplessly. "Tran Uyen, you misunderstood." "Last time we played truth or dare, we lost, so we changed the information to the person next to us." "Since when did you two go out together?" "Early of the month." As if afraid I would think too much, he added: "You were busy at that time, so we didn't bother you." My finger suddenly twitched. What am I busy? I'm busy preparing for our wedding. Yet Chau Tu Nien was afraid of bothering me. It was as if getting married was just a one-man show for me alone. Trang Ha Ha pulled Chau Tu Nien over, blaming the demon for telling him to change the information. "I told you to change it back, why are you still using mine?" "I forgot, don't take it to heart." "How can something like that be forgotten?" The two of them mumbled to each other, as familiar as partners of many years, agreeing to solve the problem together. But I am that problem. I stepped forward. Chau Tu Nien is resetting the lock screen. When pressing the key, his hand suddenly stopped a bit. Then he hesitantly entered 5023. Trang Ha Ha was silent for a moment, looked at me and then immediately reminded him. "Wrong, 5023 is my dog's birthday!" "Tieu Uyen's birthday is June 7th." Chau Tu Nien immediately changed it back. He laughed, not feeling guilty at all. "I remembered wrongly because I was celebrating Potato's birthday." My fingers gradually tightened. Having been together for five years, he can remember a dog's birthday. But I don't remember my birthday. The edges of my eyes suddenly turned red. Chau Tu Nien realized, a hint of frustration appeared on her face. "It's not a big deal, Tran Uyen, don't make such a big deal out of a small thing." "What are you so angry about?" Trang Ha Ha blocked in front of me, only saying five words, Chau Tu Nien immediately fell silent, as obedient as a cat that had just been petted. My throat felt like it had been cut by a knife, it hurt so much that I couldn't say a word. I didn't say anything, turned around and got in the car. "Tieu Uyen, what's wrong with you?" Trang Ha Ha bent down to look at me,

His eyes were extremely worried. "I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll go home first." "Then you should go back and rest first. Ha Ha has wanted to see this movie for a long time, I'll go see it with her." Chau Tu Nien's voice was very light, but it was like a needle piercing my ear. He didn't ask why I was upset, nor did he intend to take me home. What he noticed was Trang Ha Ha's feelings. "Yes, you two go." I replied very quickly. Chau Tu Nien was a bit surprised and stood there stunned for a moment. My possessiveness has always been very strong, and I have never allowed him to go out alone with my daughter, even though she is my best friend. There was a time when we had a huge argument, like two red-eyed animals, neither one willing to give in to the other. But now, without saying another word, I turned around and left. On the way, my mother called. "Tieu Uyen, the groom's suit has arrived at the store, will you and your father go see it with you?" Because Chau Tu Nien was always absent, even the groom's clothes were changed by my father. Under the incredulous eyes of the store staff, I resisted for three months. But all of this, at this moment, becomes a joke. "There's no need." "Mom, help me return the wedding dress." Mom was silent for a few seconds, as if she understood something. She didn't ask why, just softly asked if I had thought it through carefully. I smiled: "I've thought about it carefully." Hang up the phone, I go to the hospital. Just now, I was struggling with her, and my wrist was aching. After the doctor examined, the conclusion was soft tissue damage. While waiting for the sticker, Trang Ha Ha's circle of friends updated. "Wow, today is so lucky, competing with a friend will win a prize." These are two phone straps, style for couples. Chau Tu Nien happily wore it. In the photo, the two were taken in front of a mirror, with a very long cord hanging below the phone. Because of trouble, he even replaced the phone case I bought. After treating the wound, it started to rain outside. I called for a taxi half an hour ago and it still hasn't arrived. I sent the address to Chau Tu Nien. Ten minutes later, he sent back a few words. "Waiting at the door." This wait lasted more than two hours. I stood huddled at the door, my pants from the knees down were soaked. The plaster that was just pasted also peeled off. Finally, Chau Tu Nien also called. On the other end, Trang Ha Ha's laughter was as clear as a silver bell. "Tieu Uyen, we've taken Khoai Potato to the bathroom, I'll send you a photo, see if it's cute." In the photo, Chau Tu Nien and Trang Ha Ha are hugging the dog and smiling, looking like a peaceful scene in May. As for me, a few kilometers away, I was like a chicken caught in the rain. Her lips were so cold that she turned purple. "Chau Tu Nien, do you know how long I've been waiting?" The other end was silent for a moment, then immediately came his unhappy reproach. "Tran Uyen, you're too lost in the mood. Ha Ha is sharing the joy with me." "Stop talking, can't you see that Tieu Uyen is unhappy?" Trang Ha Ha spoke up to stop her. "I'm just heartbroken for you. If you continue like this, she will bully you more and more excessively." "I'm okay." The bone-chilling rainwater splashed on my body. For a moment, I couldn't even tell whether my body was colder or my heart was colder. My whole body trembled from the cold, I tried to hold back my choked voice and asked: "Chau Tu Nien, tell me, where did you bully her?" The heavy rain blurred my voice, Chau Tu Nien thought I was crying. His whole body became more and more frustrated. "Can you please stop causing trouble? Ha Ha is your best friend, can't you even tolerate her?" I don't remember how many times he argued with me because of Trang Ha Ha. When I was in school, my brother argued with me because I refused to help Trang Ha Ha cheat. After graduating, because I didn't want Trang Ha Ha to travel with me, she argued with me. I even joked with him

He said that if one day they broke up, it would definitely be because of Trang Ha Ha. At that time, he didn't think it was right. I didn't expect it to become a prophecy. "Chau Tu Nien, let's break up." After saying that, I directly hung up the phone. The phone immediately rang. Seeing that I didn't listen, Trang Ha Ha called again. The two people took turns, the phone ringing was identical. It's the ending music of the anime Trang Ha Ha likes. She once shared it with me and announced that she wanted to use it as a ringtone with her future lover in the future. At that time, she had been single for a long time, and I was afraid she would be disappointed. Jokingly said: "If other people don't have that blessing, then I will share it with you." But she just smiled and said nothing. At that time I didn't understand what she was laughing about, but now I understand. She was laughing at me, laughing at me being sold and helping people count money. In an instant, a huge feeling of humiliation swept over me. I covered my mouth and vomited under the tree. Vomit and rainwater soaked my clothes. I stumbled out, my foot slipped, I fell to the ground. Perhaps seeing how pitiful I was, a taxi stopped in front of me. After getting in the car, the phone vibrated. Chau Tu Nien sent a text message. "Tran Uyen, stop being childish, Ha Ha is crying!" My wrists were inflamed, and my stomach also had a dull pain. Not even any part of his body was clean. But all of this is not as good as Trang Ha Ha's few tears. "Where are you now? I've been to the hospital but I don't see you?" "What are you doing at the hospital? What's wrong with you?" My nose stings, I want to grab my miserable arm. But the next second, Chau Tu Nien hurriedly said: "Please leave a message to Ha Ha first, she is very worried about you." My hand that was holding the phone just dropped. The last bit of desire to communicate completely disappeared. When I got home, I quickly took a hot shower. But not long after, I still had a fever. 38 and a half degrees. I searched everywhere, finally found a few pills and stuffed them into my mouth, then rushed into the bedroom. I don't know how much time passed, with a "click" sound, a sudden light woke me up. Chau Tu Nien stood at the head of the bed, frowning at me. "We went crazy looking for you outside, but you ended up at home sleeping!" I sat up in a daze, looking at his clean, dry clothes, the corners of my lips curled up into a sarcastic smile. "What are you smiling at?" His face became even more unsightly. "I called you ten times, but you didn't listen once." "Tran Uyen, don't you realize that you're becoming more and more difficult to please?" He vented his displeasure. satisfied, but didn't see my unusually red face and the table full of coffee. After Chau Tu Nien finished washing his face, his anger subsided a lot. When he lay under the blanket, he still put his arms around me as usual. I leaned away from him. "Go to the living room to sleep." Chau Tu Nien froze, his face a bit unsightly. "You're still planning on doing this forever, right?" Having said that, he threw off the blanket, turned around and left. I pulled the blanket back and drifted off to sleep. By evening, my stomach hurt again. When I got up to go to the bathroom, I saw that Chau Tu Nien's room was still lit. When I got closer, I realized he was singing into the phone. It's the song "Today I'll Marry You." "It's so good, sing it for me again." Trang Ha Ha's soft voice came out. Chau Tu Nien laughed softly, his voice was rarely so gentle. "After singing this time, I must sleep, it's very late." "Yes." So Chau Tu Nien patiently sang again, with an ambiguous expression, but also with a bit of sadness. After the last sentence ends. Trang Ha Ha suddenly said: "I agree, I agree to marry you." Chau Tu Nien was silent.
