Chapter 7 — Eight Years Change One Time Letting Go

And the jar of lotion he bought at the duty-free shop that he used to lick her, the so-called "bought for her". On that piece of paper there was only one sentence, the handwriting was steady and not the slightest bit shaky:

"Tham Bach Chu, these 8 years can be considered as if I gave my youth to the dogs to gnaw on. When we break up, don't look for me."

He looked at that piece of paper, his hands shaking so much he couldn't hold it.

“Han Mo Tuyet…”

He forced out three words from his throat, as if he couldn't believe it. He rushed to the trash can and saw torn pieces of photos inside. That's a photo of them taken together 4 years ago. He finally panicked and tremblingly dialed her number. [Sorry, the number you dialed doesn't exist.] Not only did she block him, she also canceled the phone number she had used for 8 years. He sat down on the sofa, blankly looking at the empty house. It wasn't until this moment that he discovered that as long as she wanted to go, the things that belonged to her in this house could fit in two suitcases. His ten thousand meter sky, she has never been able to enter. And she left, not even bothering to leave her shadow behind for him. Tham Bach Chu went crazy and called everyone who knew Han Mo Tuyet. The first person he came to was Hua Nam Chi.

"Nam Chi, where is Mo Tuyet? Where has she gone?" As soon as the phone was picked up, he shouted a question.

Nam Chi smirked on the other end of the line.

"Captain Tham, after going on vacation, can't you come back? Isn't the aurora beautiful?"

"Don't talk nonsense with me! Where is Han Mo Tuyet? There must be a limit to her anger!"

“Angry?” Nam Chi's voice shrieked at 8 octaves, "Tham Bach Chu, is your head full of jet fuel? Who was so angry that they destroyed their phone sim card?"

“She just wants to force me to bow!” Tham Bach Chu gritted his teeth, "Didn't I just not take her to see the aurora? Didn't I just give the ticket to Van Chieu? Can't I compensate her!"

"Tham Bach Chu, until now you still don't know why she left, right?"

Nam Chi took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaling the smoke.

"Six years ago when she discovered she had a thyroid tumor, you were flying internationally. I went to the hospital to wait for the biopsy results with her. She was so scared that she cried, but when you called me, you called her annoying, saying you were about to take off so it wouldn't affect your mood."

“I… at that time I didn't know she was sick…”

"Yes, I don't know. Because then she lied to me and said it was just a normal infection. So do you know that when you took the captain's exam 3 years ago, her mother was in the countryside having coronary artery bypass surgery, she ran back and forth to two places, during the day taking care of you, and at night at the hospital, so tired that she fainted in the hallway?"

Tham Bach Chu's breathing on the other end of the line became rapid.

“She didn't tell me… she never said…”

“Why didn't she say anything!” Nam Chi roared, "She texted me on WeChat and told me that there was something at home that wanted me to come stay with her. How did I respond? I said, 'I'm busy instructing Trinh Van Chieu to fly a simulator and don't have time to worry about those trivial matters'!"

Tham Bach Chu completely stiffened.

"And my good sister Trinh Van Chieu." Nam Chi unceremoniously tore off his disguise, "Do you really think Mo Tuyet is blind? 40 pictures The cockpit scenery in your encrypted album, Mo Tuyet has seen it all.”

“No way!” Tham Bach Chu instinctively objected, "I never told her the password!"

“Password? Your password is the day Trinh Van Chieu joined the company! Han Mo Tuyet tried twice and it opened immediately!”

Nam Chi's words were like a hammer blow hitting Tham Bach Chu's head.
