Chapter 9 — Eight Years Is Not Equal to One Betrayal

He clearly understood in his heart that the damage had already been done, no matter how much he explained, it could not be compensated for. 9 The day Luc Nghien Tu filed for divorce, it rained heavily. He was soaked all over, waiting at the school gate. I walked out of the teaching building, Giang Tu Bach held a black umbrella to cover the rain, walking right next to me. Luc Nghien Tu saw us side by side, his eyes dark and hazy.

"Van Tinh, I'm divorced."

I nodded slightly: "Congratulations." Just two short words, making his face pale. He pulled out a completely new ring box from his pocket: "The previous ring was dirty, I ordered a new pair. I have my household registration book with me. As long as you are willing, we can go register at any time. This time, no one will be ranked before you." Before I could speak, Giang Tu Bach quietly tilted the umbrella more towards me, blocking the cold raindrops. Luc Nghien Tu stared at his movements, her tone carrying a sense of distance: "Mr. Giang, this is a private matter between me and Lam Van Tinh." Giang Tu Bach's voice was calm and steady: "If she wants to solve it herself, I won't interfere; if she needs me to go with her, I won't leave." I raised my eyes to look at Giang Tu Bach next to me. He never arbitrarily decided anything for me, he just quietly waited for my choice. I turned my head to face Luc Nghien Tu: "Go home." Luc Nghien Tu's fingertips tightened around the ring box: "Van Tinh, I know I was completely wrong. At first, just because I wanted to repay Ms. To's kindness, I thought you were the one who understood me the most, felt sorry for me the most, and definitely wouldn't really blame me."

“I will blame.”

His body staggered slightly, rainwater trickled down his hair. The sound of rain pattering on the umbrella canopy. Luc Nghien Tu's voice choked: "I can use everything to make it up to you."

“Any damage cannot be compensated for.”

“Why?”

I looked at the misty rain, remembering the hidden corner at the Civil Affairs Department that day, he let out a light sentence: "She will not abandon me because of this month".

“Until now, I still think that all my mistakes were caused by To Tri Yeu deceiving me.”

He was stunned and bewildered: "Isn't it her problem?"

“Her sinister intentions are real, but the person who really gave her the opportunity to hurt you was me.”

Tears flowed from the corners of Luc Nghien Tu's eyes. Having been together for eight years, this is the first time I've seen him cry. In the past, no matter how difficult the situation was, he gritted his teeth and endured it. Lacking a deposit to buy a house, he worked hard on the project for three months without a single complaint; My mother was sick and in the hospital. He asked for leave to take care of her for three days and three nights. He used to really treat me sincerely. And it is because of the sincerity of that past that now makes people feel even more pain in their bones.

"Van Tinh, I can't live without you."

I took a deep breath, my voice was quiet without any ripples: "But I can be without you." Luc Nghien Tu stood frozen in the cold rain. Giang Tu Bach did not urge him, he just waited silently. I walked around him, walking alone into the rain, the sound echoing behind me The ring box fell into the puddle, I never looked back. 10 After the divorce, Luc Nghien Tu seemed to turn into a different person, no longer supporting To Tri Yeu, nor asking mutual friends to persuade me to come back. Every early morning he sent me breakfast and asked the school security department to deliver it to me, but I never once received it.
