Chapter 4 — Couple Bracelets

8I was stunned. This sentence… why does it sound so annoying!? I'm afraid who won't be happy? Don't you understand yourself!? You really don't know how fierce your fans are!? "I'm afraid people will misunderstand. I'm fine, but you're top-notch, if it's rumored—" Luc Chap's eyes locked on me. The more I spoke, the quieter I became. He coldly said: "You care so much about your ex-boyfriend." Me: “……” When he was young, he didn't talk much, why does everything he says now block other people's throats!? I closed my eyes to calm down and organize my emotions. "Luc Chap, we broke up. I don't want to put you in trouble because of me..." "No need to remind me." Luc Chap suddenly interrupted, his dark eyes seemed to have some ripples. But that feeling disappeared very quickly. By the time I wanted to look closely, he was already brushing my shoulder. "I'll handle that." Click. He opened the door. The hot summer wind blew in from the hallway, but I felt a bit cold. Thinking for a moment, I still whispered through the door: "Thank you. So... I'm going back to my room." Luc Chap paused a bit, then without turning back, walked into the room and closed the door. "How's it going? I heard that this time Luc Chap also participated in the program? Have you met him?" As soon as she got in the car, Ms. Kieu eagerly asked. I lay down on the back seat: "It's okay, at least I can go home alive." Ms. Kieu pouted: "Oh my god, seeing my ex-lover again, just thinking about it makes me see drama..." I glared at her sharply: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet - why didn't you tell me in advance that he was also participating in the show?" If I knew, would I be stupid enough to put my head in the oven? Ms. Kieu looked unjustly: "I swear! At first I really didn't know! Initially, it was said that Tham Tinh Than would participate, but it seemed like he had an emergency so he invited Luc Chap to come instead." Tham Tinh Than previously debuted on the same show as Luc Chap, Luc Chap ranked first, he ranked second, the relationship between the two is still quite good. That's reasonable. Friendship is really good... I'm just sorry - it's my ex-girlfriend. I waved my hand: "Don't worry, I'll do exactly as you told me, work hard, keep quiet, don't cause trouble." Two weeks later, the show aired. Ms. Kieu pointed to a series of hot search hashtags, her voice trembling: "Is this what you call 'no problem'?" I glanced over, my throat choked. #LucChapBeholdingPrincessThinhDao# #LucChapSpeaksThinhDaoIs Allergic to Eggplant# #First PersonThinhDaoCalledLucChap# #HanhLyThinhDao# …What the hell is that last hot keyword? With trembling hands, I clicked on the top phrase and opened the top post in the hot trend area — a video. The cover photo is that moment by the pond, Luc Chap's pants are half wet, and he is holding me tightly in his arms. 9 Less than half an hour after posting, the comments have already passed the hundred thousand mark. "Wtf wtf wtf!!!" “Aaaaaaa what did I just see!? Not public, what else?!” "Didn't you explain before that you didn't know each other? Looking at the vibe of these two, if they weren't in love, I'd lean back and fan!" "Thinh Dao is a real green tea, isn't it? Last time's fame wasn't enough, now you're playing this game?" "I've never seen her act so well before, her face is even pale. If you bring this enthusiasm to acting, you'll soon be famous!" "To be honest, anyone with eyes can see it. This is definitely not Thinh Dao's one-sided rise to fame, right?" "Help! I also want to say, when Luc Chap hugged Thinh Dao, he was so perfect!" "Who understands? When he gently put Thinh Dao down and bowed his head to ask where he was bitten, I - a die-hard fan of five years - can swear, I have never seen Luc Chap's face reveal such an expression before!" "If you're not your girlfriend, why would you bend down to take off your shoes to check the wound for me??? How precious are Luc Chap's hands?"

Surely there's no need to say it, right?" “I'm not a fan of anyone. But just looking at this video, it's true that these two are extremely compatible! One person called the other person's name first in panic, and the other person immediately jumped down and picked him up! So sweet!” The comments were all crazy, reading it made my brain explode. I took a deep breath, and finally clicked to open the video. It was cut from the program. At that time, I was completely in a daze, not knowing how it happened, until I saw that image - Luc Chap was initially arranging the fish basket next to him, after I screamed, he immediately turned around, rushed into the water from three steps, immediately picked me up. I was stunned. It seemed like at that time... Luc Chap was still there. patted my head? Ms. Kieu hugged her chest: “Oh my god! Is this your ex-boyfriend? I said no one objects now! Me: “……” Didn't Luc Chap say… he would handle this case? Is this your so-called “treatment”!? The comments kept increasing: “Actually, the status of these two people is really too strange. Just looking at this paragraph, Luc Chap cares so much about Thinh Dao, it can't be ungrateful. But... when we first met, we were as cold as strangers, so shy!" "Agree. With Luc Chap's personality, if he was strong enough to run to carry someone, why didn't he initially refuse to help with the suitcase? “I would like to venture a guess, I hope you all can verify: Is it possible that these two people... have reunited a long time ago? This program was originally intended to 'play the role of a stranger', but who would have thought that an incident would happen, Thinh Dao was afraid of a snake and screamed, Luc Chap was so worried about his girlfriend, he forgot his role? "When I read this, I stopped dead in my tracks. You guys... you guys are really good at imagining... "What now?" Ms. Kieu clasped her hands in supplication. “A Dao, my treasure, tell the truth, you two... are still dating, right?!” I took out my phone. Near the end of filming, Chu Vien created a group for everyone to keep in touch. Normally I just send a few stickers for fun, Luc Chap almost never shows his face. I didn't expect that now... I would have to use that group to make WeChat friends with him — oh yes, to "exchange work". I clicked send friend request. Ten minutes later, accepted. "Got something?"??? How can you ask this question in such a calm tone like it's nothing!? “Have you seen the show?” “No.” Haven't seen it? Even if you don't watch it, the hot search is so hot, surely someone around has already said it? Why is there no reaction!? I was so angry that I was shaking so I dialed the voice call directly. A few seconds later, Luc Chap picked up the phone. His voice on the phone was still cold and indifferent, like a feather gently brushing across his palm - strangely itchy. "What's wrong?" I can't stand this calmness of his. Anger rushed to my head, I blurted out: "Luc Chap, can your concert tickets no longer be sold!?" 10 As soon as I finished speaking, I knew I was wrong. Who doesn't know that Luc Chap's concert tickets sell out every minute, a ticket is hard to find, fans compete like crazy. This sentence is like slapping yourself in the face. I took a deep breath and rubbed my temples: “That's not what I meant, I just wanted to say—” “Yes.” Luc Chap suddenly spoke up, his voice monotone: "So do you want to come and see?"... All the words I was about to say suddenly got stuck in my throat. The space suddenly became so quiet that I could clearly hear the sound of the phone, breathing... and even the heartbeat. I clenched my hands. "I have a filming schedule that day, probably... not very convenient." The other end was silent for a moment. "I understand." Then, he hung up. Ms. Kieu stuck her head out, gestured and asked me: "How's it going?" Is it okay to talk?” I returned to my seat: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not done." Ms. Kieu heard the first half of the sentence, her expression also became complicated: "You mean... he intends to stay silent and let this matter go?" "Eight

That's nine parts." I paused for a moment, then decided to tell her the second half of the sentence. Ms. Kieu opened her eyes, then began to get excited: "Is it still unclear?! A Dao, don't tell me you don't understand what he means! Obviously—” “Miss Kieu.” I interrupted, "Do you know why we broke up?" She paused and hesitantly shook her head. I leaned against the back of the sofa. I'm a forgetful person with a real goldfish brain, but somehow, after several years, the events of that day are still clear in my mind. "Back then, my father sponsored his tuition so he could pass the university entrance exam. That's why we got to know each other." I smiled at her: "That's also the reason why I told him that when we broke up." Actually, after a month of breaking up, Luc Chap came to find me. At that time, without saying a word, I disappeared from his life and changed all methods of communication. I also don't know how you found my school. Back then, I vaguely said that I might study in city A, because as a child I had a rare time with my mother there. But A has too many universities. But that day, when I saw him standing under the dormitory, I almost thought I was mistaken. "A Dao." The teenager's lips were pursed tightly, each word was difficult to say. Luc Chap in my memory is a quiet, stubborn, strong-willed person. I've never heard him talk in such a low tone. "Don't break up, okay?" I looked at him and smiled: "Luc Chap, don't tell me... you think I'm sincere with you, right?" His hand that was holding me immediately stopped, his fingers were cold. "If you're tired of playing, let's break up." Or do you need me to remind you that you even use my family's tuition money?”
