Chapter 4 — Break Destiny, Embrace Happiness

11 In the last class, I was so sleepy that my head nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Tham Tru - my tablemate - endured it all day, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly pushed me a piece of paper: 【Are you... and Hua Tan Nien in love?】 I immediately woke up. Tham Tru bowed his head quickly, holding the pen and writing loudly, at the same speed as when he was rambling - so fast that it seemed to create an afterimage. A moment later, he pushed me a short essay, the content of which was roughly: He had absolutely no intentions towards me, just a little greedy. But that's not enough to be treated like that, right? Rumor has it that in the past, Hua Tan Nien had a very vicious fight with a nearby vocational school student, almost causing a fatal accident. He hoped that, because of the relationship he shared with us over the past three years, I would say something helpful to my boyfriend, so that Hua Tan Nien would not attack him. He has elderly parents, a young sister, and has to take the university entrance exam... I couldn't help but laugh. Is Hua Tan Nien really that scary? But looking at Tham Tru's pitiful shaking appearance, I also wrote back: 【Don't worry. He listens to me very well and won't touch you.】 Go out and play around, your identity is your own creation. Tham Tru breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been relieved. At this moment, my phone vibrated. I opened it to see. It's a friend request from... Hua Tan Nien. Note: 【After school, go to the rooftop.】 His profile picture is as dark as his bad temper. I slowly packed my bag and started climbing the stairs. What are you doing going up to the rooftop... The wind is blowing so loudly that it makes you fly away. Arriving at the top floor, Hua Tan Nien was already standing there. He leaned his back against the terrace door, his dark eyes looking at me. "Tell me. Who have you given food to?" This question stunned me and I couldn't react. Breathing heavily, he asked again: "What?" He took a step forward and snorted coldly: "Are you trying to make me jealous?" "You miscalculated. I don't care." The system rolled around: 【Laughed to death, not caring but asking for her information from Hua Tinh Nhiem.】 【Considering all day, typing and deleting countless times before daring to send a friend request.】 【Hua Tinh Nhiem is right, he really knows how to act.】 The system even pretended to be cold: 【“I ~ don't ~ care ~”】 I finally understood what he meant, Hastily explained: "There is no one else." "That day my friend invited me for breakfast. I saw that Tham Tru didn't have anything to eat so I gave it to him." He narrowed his eyes: "Oh, you know everyone's name?" The voice is not easy to hear at all. "He's my deskmate, it's strange that I don't know his name." Hua Tan Nien still turned away, refusing to look at me. The whole person exuded a feeling — "I'm waiting for you to comfort me, come quickly." Well, since I had already received the money, I had to gently coax: "Today I'm making an extra portion of rice for Tinh Nhiem." "As for your portion, I added an fried egg. Have you eaten yet? Is it delicious?" He looked at me, curled his mouth: "Who you feed is your business." “I have no control.” …??? Wait, I didn't ask that?! Having finished speaking, Hua Tan Nien brought out a bag from the side. Inside were three neatly arranged lunch boxes. Then... turned around and walked down the stairs. 12 Hua Tan Nien is truly... a strange creature. I decided: It's better to stay away from him for a bit. After all, Tham Tru did said, in the past, Hua Tan Nien almost caused a murder because of a fight. But I'm weak-hearted and cowardly, so it's best not to get involved. Every morning, I wake up very early to prepare a boxed lunch and secretly stuff it into his desk drawer. After school, ask Hua Tinh Nhiem to help carry it to the school gate. It went on like that for nearly half a month. One day, Hua Tinh Nhiem said: "Don't do my part anymore." I just said "uh" through the loudspeaker. She immediately shook my shoulder and asked emotionally: "Didn't you ask me why?!" "Huh?" I answered casually. Then she let out a series of fireworks: "Of course it's because someone else cooked for me!" "You can still order freely. If you say one word, he won't dare say twice!" “Wow, it turns out the joy of us rich people is so simple!” “You know, I even forced him to wear a male butler's outfit and a chain… cough cough, the winter is so cold, I even forced him to make a foot warmer.” “Ah yes, sister-in-law, he's like that - super arrogant, but I like that kind of coercion, forcing him to the point where he willingly volunteered to be my dog!” “Are you cool yet?” I rolled my eyes. Wait a minute! Is this within the scope of free content?! But since I was asked, I had no choice but to reflexively clap my hands: "That's really super cool!" She raised her chin, proud: "Of course! There's no one in this world that Hua Tinh Nhiem can't cut!" "But don't tell me~" "Ah, I'm not going home tonight. I said I'm coming to your house to sleep, remember to keep it a secret~" After saying that, she transferred me 20,000 VND. My eyes lit up immediately. Glancing to the side — To Uy Xuyen was quietly walking right behind her. I whispered: "System, I just discovered something earth-shattering." The system coughed softly: 【Your favorability has increased to 70. I used the newly exchanged points to check the situation on Hua Tinh Nhiem's side. Hmmm... that's quite exciting.】 "Huh??? Using my points to find out something and then refusing to tell it?! Are you still human?" 【Sorry… actually I'm not human.】 “…Shut up.” I argued with the system all day, then suddenly was startled: "Wait? To Uy Xuyen and I have only met twice?! Why does he have such a high rating with me?!" 13 The system has not yet responded to my previous question. I went to a small alley - a familiar path on the way home. And… I saw Hua Tan Nien. He alone fought against five guys. Exactly the "beautiful - strong - tragic" style in the legend. The corner of the eye was stained with blood, as if it had been cut by a knife. The other guys were still cursing loudly: "Young Master Hua? Your position is probably about to be replaced." “You bastard, no one loves you, no one loves you.” "Brother Y told us to warn you, if you dare to gossip... just wait and see what happens to your sister." “Don't think that what you did before will be forgiven!” I didn't understand it very well, but seeing how they fought so viciously, I knew it was extremely dangerous. Passersby did not dare to come closer. The system provided intelligence: 【Hua Y is the illegitimate child that Hua Tan Nien's father had with another woman. Studying at vocational school.】 【Hua's mother has always oppressed that brat, so the Hua family has never made his identity public. But his stepmother refused to stay still dream of "going to the main house".】 【This time, he probably saw Hua Tan Nien going alone, so he took the opportunity to join the group. What a bastard!】 No wonder Tham Tru said that Hua Tan Nien almost committed a murder... It turned out that there was a grudge against the third child's stepson. I should have beaten that son of a family destroyer to death!! I was so angry that I ducked into the corner of the wall and immediately dialed 110. But they still didn't stop. One of them seemed to even glance at me. I turned away in panic. Actually… How much can I do? Even if I rushed in, I wouldn't be able to stop the five men fighting the group. Even involving himself. But - hearing the sound of the punch hitting Hua Tan Nien's body, I felt my heart tighten again, unable to bear it anymore. I closed my eyes. Well... Because Tinh Nhiem just transferred me 20,000 VND... I took a deep breath, mustered up all my courage, borrowed a loudspeaker from the girl selling fruit on the side of the road, then stood in front of the alley and screamed: "IT'S FIRE!!! IT'S FIRE!!!" "SOMEBODY IS STARTING A FIRE! QUIT THE FIRE!" Immediately, surrounding people rushed out like bees from a broken nest. Only when it concerns one's own interests do people truly have a sense of danger. The thugs saw a crowd of people coming and were afraid of causing trouble so they immediately retreated in the blink of an eye. 14 The crowd scattered like bees in a hive, disappearing in the blink of an eye. At this time, Hua Tan Nien was sitting on the ground, his back leaning against the wall. Her tangled hair covered her eyes, the corners of her lips and the corners of her eyes were bloodied - bringing with it a "wounded" beauty full of melancholy. I couldn't see his expression clearly. When he raised his head to look over, I immediately turned around and ran - returning the speaker to the fruit seller. When I returned, he was still sitting in the same place, not moving at all. Bowed his head, looking very...sad. The system suddenly spoke at length: 【He was very happy when he heard her scream "it's on fire". But then I didn't see her anywhere, I thought... she had abandoned him too.】 【Recently she had been avoiding him, she didn't know - every day he even came earlier than her, waiting for her to see her quietly putting the lunch box in the table drawer before coming out.】 【She was so cold, he didn't dare to ask, afraid she would calmly say: "I don't care about you at all."】 I stood still there. place, somewhat bewildered. A strange feeling arose in my heart, cold and numb. No wonder I always feel like someone is watching me these days. It turns out... it's Hua Tan Nien. At that moment, he raised his head again — looking straight at me. His dark eyes suddenly brightened, clearly unable to hide his joy.
