Chapter 3 — Couple Bracelets

5 Before I could say anything, on the other side, Lam Da smiled and teased: "Me Linh, Thinh Dao is here for the first time, are you giving her such a heavy task?" Lam Da is an actress who became famous thanks to a web-drama a few years ago, with a bright, scholarly face, attracting many fans. "How about this Thinh Dao, just go to the vegetable garden, pick vegetables gently." I silently sighed in my heart. Maybe Lam Da really wants to help me, but... I remember Kieu's words carefully - you must definitely do the hard work, take advantage of this opportunity to build a good image! Me Linh said "ah" and stuck out her tongue: "I heard that Luc Chap's hands are insured, so you have to be extremely careful, that's why! So I'll go with Mr. Lam and Thinh Dao, will you go to the garden?" Yes, that's great, if I don't go now, I'll probably be stoned. People work hard, but I choose light work, don't I bring trouble on myself? "It's okay, I can go with everyone."... After eating, cleaning up quickly and changing clothes, we set off together. The place where Luc Chap caught eels and where Luc Chap went fishing were actually only one road apart. But it's true... two completely different worlds. Me Linh turned around and smiled at me: "Thinh Dao, if you're afraid of getting dirty, you can just stand on the edge." I glanced at her, wanting to laugh a bit. Why not say it early, wait until everything is ready before mentioning it? I decisively pulled the basket and waded into the pond. The move is decisive, the catch is the hit. In just a moment, my basket was full of zigzag eels. Me Linh looked at my basket and smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Thinh Dao, you don't look at all like the first time you went to the field, do you?" I glanced to the other side, Luc Chap was bowing his head preparing bait, seemingly paying no attention to the situation over here. So I said boldly: "I used to play with... a friend." Luc Chap swung the rod, his face expressionless, as if he didn't hear anything at all. I breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason I felt a little pain in my heart. It's true, back then I was always hanging around Luc Chap and forcing him to do all kinds of things. To me, it was interesting, but for him, having to take care of a young lady who was used to being pampered was probably not a memorable memory. Me Linh was no longer as enthusiastic about starting a conversation as she was at first, and started to work with her head down, seemingly determined to catch up with me. A moment later, there was a noise next to me, and I reflexively turned my head and saw that Luc Chap had just caught a fish. Me Linh shouted excitedly: "Wow, Luc Chap is so good! I knew right away, these hands are not normal, I caught a fish so quickly!" My eyes unconsciously slid down, stopping at his hands. To be fair, Luc Chap's hands are long and slender, with clear knuckles, and can completely be used as a hand model. If I hadn't held his hand and felt the rough calloused layer on my palm, I wouldn't have believed that those hands had endured so many hardships and done so many things. "Luc Chap, your hands are so beautiful, they're perfect for playing the piano." At that time, I pulled him to sit next to me, put his hand on the keyboard, "Don't know how to play? So you call me teacher Thinh, I'll teach you!" He pursed his lips, his ears turned red, and at first he wanted to pull his hand away, but I held him tight. The finger pressed down on the keyboard, a clear note sounded. He was stunned for a few seconds, then slightly moved his lips, seemingly agreeing to compromise. I leaned close to his ear and deliberately lowered my voice to tease: "Okay, calling me A Dao sounds better."6 At that time I was very stubborn, all the things related to my mother were removed from the house. The piano was left to me by my mother. Unfortunately, I did not inherit her musical talent, and after many years of studying, I did not improve. But thanks to that time, I discovered that Luc Chap only needed to listen to music once to be able to play

original article again. It's true that comparing people to people just makes me angry! At that time, I could not imagine that Luc Chap would shine brightly on stage in the future... Bang! I was so busy thinking that I suddenly lost my balance and slipped and fell. Mud splashed on my face and wet my whole body. “……” The past doesn't want to be remembered, but the present makes people even more speechless. Living without being close, my ex-boyfriend always sees me making fun of me. Luc Chap seemed to glance over, but then immediately turned away. In that blink of an eye, he had caught a few more fish and was now busy cleaning up the fish basket. Me: “……” What's even more tragic is that he was lazy even when he came to watch me struggle. Me Linh worriedly asked: "Thinh Dao, are you okay?" I quickly waved my hand to show that it was okay and tried to stand up. Suddenly my hand touched something cold and slippery. I bowed my head and looked. The next second, goosebumps all over my body — It's a snake! My mind was blank, I instinctively shouted: "Luc Chap! There are snakes!" I felt like I was nailed to the spot, my whole body stiffened, unable to move. The next moment, someone picked me up from behind and placed me in strong arms. The scene before my eyes suddenly changed, and when I regained my composure, I was sitting on the edge of the field. Luc Chap stood right in front. His sharp eyes lowered slightly, his voice was rarely tense: "Where did you bite?" As he spoke, he bent down to take off my shoes to check if my feet were bitten. I bent down and saw that his hand was on my pant leg, his fingers still covered in mud. I woke up. Wait! Just now - Luc Chap hugged me in front of so many people and cameras!? 7 I quickly spoke up: "No... I wasn't bitten, I just... just saw the snake so I panicked... thank you, thank you, Master Luc..." Luc Chap's movements stopped. That's when I realized - my hand was still clutching the hem of his shirt. Startled as if I had been electrocuted, I immediately let go. Luc Chap also woke up and stood up straight. The distance was immediately stretched. The surrounding scenery seemed to return to its original state, and all kinds of looks were coming at me. The mixed sound also immediately broke the vague silence between me and Luc Chap, overwhelming everything. The filming director hurriedly ran over and asked worriedly: "Teacher Thinh, are you okay!?" I shook my head, faced the curious eyes around me, and replied a bit embarrassed: "It's okay, it's just... I'm a little afraid of snakes." I silently regret it. Since I was a child, I have been afraid of snakes. Once when I went to pick lotus with Luc Chap, I was bitten once, and from then on I became even more afraid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reflexively shouted your name like that! It's definitely been filmed! I looked at Luc Chap, but he didn't seem to care at all, he went back to taking care of his fish basket. As if everything that just happened was simply an act of help — after all, we were guests on the same show. Everyone around was clearly still bewildered, the atmosphere was a bit strange. I clearly felt their eyes looking at me and Luc Chap becoming more and more curious, sparkling like flash lights. But I no longer care. The thing I pay attention to the most is - I have to negotiate with the director to cut that part. An eighteenth-rate actor like me clearly doesn't have any power. Thinking back and forth, I decided... to find Luc Chap. As long as he speaks up, the program crew certainly doesn't dare to offend them, so they will probably agree, right? At eleven o'clock at night, after a busy day of filming, everyone had gone to rest and the machines were all turned off. I quietly got out of bed, tiptoed downstairs to find Luc Chap's room. Gathering all my courage, I knocked on the door. Knock knock. No one answered. Why are you sleeping? But he was a very light sleeper

Well, even if you fall asleep, you still have to be woken up by me, right? Unbelievable, I knocked twice more, mumbling in a whisper: "...Why are you sleeping so deeply? Isn't it just fishing a few fish that makes you so tired? Huh, I'm used to living happily, my physical strength is really deteriorating—" "Something to do for me?" The cold voice rang out from behind, making me jump, I turned around as if I'd been electrocuted, my soul flying up to the sky. "Luc-Luc-Luc Chap!? When are you coming? So!?” He looked like he had just finished showering, the towel was still draped over his shoulder, his hair was still wet, falling across his forehead, partially covering his sharp eyebrows. Cold, forbidding, yet carrying a deadly attraction. It's undeniable, these past few years he's been... more and more— Stop! This is not the point! Luc Chap slightly squinted his eyes: "This is my room." I mean, the one who appears here strangely is me. Me: “……” That's right, I still have the main story! I clenched my hands: "The thing is... thank you today..." Luc Chap interrupted me, his voice was light: "No need to thank me, in exchange for someone else, I will also help." I got a lump in my throat. Deliberately ignoring the emotions that had just flashed in my heart, I thought carefully and then cautiously opened my mouth to negotiate: "Actually... I still want to ask you one more favor. Is... can you tell the director not to broadcast that part of the daytime filming?" Luc Chap's eyes suddenly cooled a bit. "Are you that afraid of being rumored to me? Or... afraid that someone will not be happy seeing it?"
