Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — End of Seven Year Relationship
10At first, the first few days Phi Tu Hanh still came, but I didn't let him into the hospital room. I don't remember when, he didn't appear anymore. The wound on my back is starting to heal. Every night, my back hurts and itches, causing me to stay up almost until morning before reluctantly falling asleep. Bach Thanh Nguyet probably forgot, or didn't take my warning seriously. That night, I was trying not to scratch the newly healed wound on my back, sweat pouring down my forehead. The phone on the pillow suddenly lit up. I unlocked it and looked at the message. It's a strange number sending photos. Phi Tu Hanh held Bach Thanh Nguyet in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her. To be honest, the feeling of jealousy or longing soon disappeared. But Bach Thanh Nguyet's openly provocative actions finally angered me. Someone needs to pay the price. 11But before I could find them, Phi Tu Hanh appeared before me. I was calling my parents to tell them that I wanted to go back to school to pack my things, then go home to rest. Who would have thought that Phi Tu Hanh was standing next to my parents and heard the conversation. Feel free to go to my dorm to pack things up. Then he discovered my diary. It records every moment I started liking Phi Tu Hanh since I was 17 years old. Phi Tu Hanh stumbled into my house. The person who was never rude didn't pay attention to the maid's greeting this time. He pushed open my door, his red eyes looking at me. Hand holding that notebook. All my shame immediately had no place to hide. But in just a moment, I quickly regained my composure. Phi Tu Hanh's hand held the notebook, each vein emerging. "You have liked me since you were 17 years old?" He looked at me, his eyes bright but full of complexity. I returned his gaze, simply saying, “But when you first abandoned me at the aquarium, I didn't like it anymore.” “And when you left me for the last time in the fire, it was all completely gone.” I blinked my stinging eyes. It's just sad that the youthful excitement quietly disappeared. "I don't know..." His voice was hoarse. Phi Tu Hanh step by step came closer, knelt beside my bed, frowned in bewilderment, muttering. "Tow never realized." No matter how much love is hidden, it will still show through the eyes. But you never noticed my eyes. His eyes only saw Bach Thanh Nguyet. I no longer care about blaming him. "Don't make that face, Phi Tu Hanh, you and Bach Thanh Nguyet are very good together." It's too compatible. Phi Tu Hanh raised his head, smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Maybe, I don't like her that much." "After she was beaten, I started to have some doubts. It felt like she was no longer the person I used to know." In Phi Tu Hanh's eyes, Bach Thanh Nguyet is an innocent, gentle girl. But the slap that Bach Thanh Nguyet gave me exposed her hatred and revenge. Phi Tu Hanh's layer of illusion about her began to crack. When the person you like does something you don't like, the interest will immediately disappear. See, he's not a nice person either. And the reason he is still willing to be with Bach Thanh Nguyet is because he still has some hope for his little flower. The stained glass layer is not completely broken. That day, Phi Tu Hanh looked at me with extremely complicated eyes for a long time. No matter what I said harshly, he quietly accepted it. In the end, he only left a sentence with an unclear meaning. Phi Tu Hanh leaned against the door frame, smiling bitterly. "Vu Chieu, what should I do? It seems I have misunderstood too many things." I have no obligation to answer, I just want him to leave. Phi Tu Hanh shook my diary and asked softly. "I haven't finished reading it yet, can I borrow it for two more days?" I didn't mind.
“It's just trash, you give it back to me and I'll throw it away.” A diary that records feelings for someone who is thrown away is just trash. He lowered his head to look at the notebook, protesting in a very low voice. "That's not true." 12 The wound had almost healed, I decided to return to school. There must be a clear explanation for what I have to endure without reason. Bach Thanh Nguyet told Phi Tu Hanh that I beat her, and I don't care whether he believes it or not. I also don't need to prove my innocence to him. But being unfairly slapped cannot be ignored so easily. I found the girl who beat Bach Thanh Nguyet that day. The enemy of my enemy does not necessarily become a friend. But it is possible to become a temporary ally. She provided me with the information I needed. At the same time, she did not hesitate to say directly that the rumors about Bach Thanh Nguyet were spread by her. This girl speaks very hard to hear. She also used words like "public bus" to refer to it. According to her, Bach Thanh Nguyet actually dated many guys, but recently they all broke off. Probably because she was officially with Phi Tu Hanh. Phi Tu Hanh disappeared for a few days. It wasn't until a week later that I saw him appear with Bach Thanh Nguyet. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Phi Tu Hanh looked very depressed. I stopped my eyes to look at the red marks on his fingertips. This is the first time I've seen him smoke. Bach Thanh Nguyet made a gesture to hug him, but he dodged, she had to step back and hold his hand. I stood in the dark not far away, took a photo of this scene and sent it to a few strange numbers. One of them was the boyfriend of the girl who beat Bach Thanh Nguyet. Bach Thanh Nguyet once admitted that the reason she was beaten was because of her shady relationship with this guy. He is a student at the school next door. The remaining people are all people who have had ambiguous relationships with her. Only about half an hour later, three people arrived. At first there were attacks, then some people started to lose control, pushing Bach Thanh Nguyet. Someone even slapped her. A guy over one meter eight tall, strong, swung a slap, causing Bach Thanh Nguyet to fall to the ground. There was even a nosebleed. Phi Tu Hanh just stood coldly watching from beginning to end, only when Bach Thanh Nguyet was beaten did he frown slightly. There are more and more viewers, many of whom record videos and post them on the school's forum and website. Bach Thanh Nguyet's reputation was shattered. Also at this time, the truth that no video footage from cameras outside the laboratory was stored became clear. One of the guys she dated was an information technology student. He pursued Bach Thanh Nguyet for half a year with no progress, until this happened. Bach Thanh Nguyet used being willing to be with him as a condition of exchange, forcing him to risk breaking the law, illegally entering the school's security system, and transmitting the video at that time. Yes, it means moving, not erasing. The other boy kept a piece of evidence, worried that Bach Thanh Nguyet would turn around after the job was done. Unexpectedly, before she could turn around, everything fell apart. He completely recognized her nature, proactively declared the entire incident and handed over the unedited video. Considering that he confessed, he was only detained for a few days and given an educational warning. But Bach Thanh Nguyet is not so lucky. Someone compiled her bad behavior and exposed it all on Weibo. The incident spread and attracted some commune attention
festival. Intentionally meddling in other people's relationships, and getting entangled with many guys at the same time, most importantly, is breaking the law. The wave of requests to expel Bach Thanh Nguyet is getting stronger and stronger. In the end, the school could not bear the pressure and, before the police came to arrest her, silently advised her to drop out of school. She used to be proud of being able to attract many guys, but in the end she had to bear the consequences herself. Before leaving, Bach Thanh Nguyet came to look for Phi Tu Hanh again, and I happened to meet her. She clutched Phi Tu Hanh's sleeve, sobbing. "Don't break up, okay? I never liked those people, and nothing happened to them." "I only like you, only you make me flutter..." But Phi Tu Hanh just coldly withdrew his sleeve. "Thanh Nguyet, but I don't seem to like you." His words stunned Bach Thanh Nguyet. Phi Tu Hanh lowered his eyes, his voice calm. "Honestly, after knowing about your story, I have no feelings." "I always thought my ideal type was an innocent, gentle girl. You are very suitable, I also thought I liked you. But recently, I realized I was very wrong. Whether you did these things or not, I was going to say goodbye." "Sorry for making you misunderstand for so long." With every word he said, his expression changed. Bach Thanh Nguyet turned pale again. When Phi Tu Hanh left, she still stood there stunned. The crying became louder and louder, the pained expression on his face didn't look like he was pretending. In the end, Bach Thanh Nguyet had to bear the consequences. She played with the emotions of many people, and in the end fell for someone who didn't love her at all.
