Chapter 16 — Conflict with Co Thieu

Yellow cinnamon flowers are blooming, the wind just blows, small flower petals fall all over the stone road, sweet fragrance spreads throughout the yard. Lam Tien sat in a rattan chair flipping through books, heard light footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Co Viet Nien walking slowly, holding a warm cup of milk and honey in his hand. He still walked a bit slowly, his steps were not steady. "The rehabilitation specialist said he could walk another ten minutes today." He walked to her side, passed the glass of milk, his voice carrying a barely recognizable note of effort: "I did it." Lam Tien took the warm cup, smiled and looked up at him: "I know, Mr. Co is the best." Co Viet Nien sat down next to her, naturally reaching out to hug her shoulder. The afternoon sunlight fell on the two of them, warm and comfortable, even the wind became gentle. "What are you thinking?" He bowed his head, the tip of his nose gently brushing the top of her hair. "Thinking, luckily you came to Nam Thanh." Lam Tien leaned on his shoulder, her voice gentle, with a serene smile: "Luckily I met you." Before, she thought her life would rot in the mud of Bac Thanh, thinking that the entanglements of love and hate would entwine her until the end. life. But around and around, she changed her name, changed her city, met someone willing to walk side by side with her, and finally completely escaped all her nightmares. The wind blew with the scent of cinnamon flowers, gentle and attached. Co Viet Nien squeezed her arm, gently placing a kiss on the top of her hair. Nam Thanh spring is warm, the world is peaceful. In the future, they still have many long days and must slowly move on together.
