Chapter 10 — Eight Years Change One Time Letting Go

Afternoon sunlight penetrated through the clouds, dyeing the entire Thuong Son range into a golden color. She looked at it this afternoon, without having to imagine what it would look like at a height of ten thousand meters. Because her current perspective is the most beautiful. At this moment, the half-closed wooden door of the yard was pushed open. She turned her head. Tham Bach Chu stood outside the door, exhausted and with bloodshot eyes. He looked at her, as if he saw a lost treasure that had now been found again.

“Mo Tuyet... I finally found you.”

The appearance of Tham Bach Chu did not make the stone bowl in Han Mo Tuyet's hand tremble. She swallowed the last piece of jelly, took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth.

"You're looking in the wrong place, this is a private house."

He strode in and conveniently closed the yard door. He had lost a lot of weight, his chin was growing with a green beard, and his shirt, which was normally always neatly ironed, was now wrinkled and sticking to his body. This pathetic appearance is completely different from his image of a shiny and radiant captain.

“Mo Tuyet, you are wrong.”

He walked in front of her, his voice was very hoarse, the blood in his eyes was clearly visible.

"I sent Trinh Van Chieu away. I threw away all her things. From now on, my co-pilot observation seat is reserved only for you, and the phone password has also been changed to your birthday. Can you come home with me?"

You are like a child who has done something wrong, eagerly showing off his "corrections". She looked at him calmly, as if looking at a stranger.

“You came all the way here, just to inform me that you threw away the trash?”

He was stunned. He imagined that she would get angry, cry loudly, and loudly question him. But he didn't expect her to be so cold, not caring about even the slightest ripple.

“No… I brought this to you.”

He took out a cardboard envelope from his chest and held it out in front of her with both hands. That was something that in the past, even though she insisted on asking for it, he was determined not to take it away.

"This is a pass to the observation seat specially approved by the company. The validity is permanent. Whenever you want to see the ten thousand meter high sky, we will fly at that time."

Next, he pulled out the neatly folded "Debt List" from his pocket.

"These are the things I owe you. I can't compensate for the thyroid tumor surgery, but I've already booked an appointment at the best health examination center. Next month we'll go see the aurora borealis, wherever you want to see it, I'll fly there. As for my aunt's illness, I've contacted a cardiologist in Beijing..."

He spoke haphazardly, trying to use empty promises to fill the hole of 8 years. She looked at that list and suddenly thought it was ridiculous.

“Tham Bach Chu.”

She interrupted his constant clinging.

“Do you think the reason I left you is because you didn't give me this passport and didn't take me to see the aurora borealis?”

His voice choked.

"It's a workplace, not a play area. This is what you once told me in the past."

She stood up and walked in front of him.

"Eight years ago I asked you for this, because in my eyes there was only you, I wanted to see the world you were passionate about. But now I don't need it anymore, because you in my heart, are no longer anything."

She gave it hand, pushed that passport back to his chest.

“You're 8 years late.”

Tam Bach Chu's tears finally flowed out.

"Mo Tuyet, don't be like that... I know I'm miserable, I'm selfish, I neglected you. But I really can't live without you. I returned to that house, looking at the empty room, I was about to go crazy..."

He tried to reach out and hug her. She took a step back, avoiding his touch.
