Chapter 14 — Fake Fiance Committed His Love To Thien Kim, I Let Them Be Honest

So Dao's whole life, from beginning to end, was just an empty dream. I carried the fish and continued walking towards my house. When we walked to the front door, from afar we saw a figure standing at the end of the alley. She was wearing old, faded clothes, her hair was simply tied into a small bun, her face had no makeup or makeup, and her whole body had lost a large amount of weight. Seeing me, she didn't move. I don't move either. The two of them stood halfway across the alley and looked at each other. In the end, she was the one who spoke first.

“Tham Chieu Ninh.”

“He's gone.”

“He didn't take me with him.”

“I know too.”

So Dao lowered his eyes, the corner of his lips slightly raised, not knowing whether he was smiling or crying.

“Tell me, what do I really seek?”

I don't answer. Because we don't have the answer either. So Dao stood still for a long time, then raised his head to look at me.

“You won.”

“I never wanted to win against anyone.”

“So what do you want?”

I thought for a moment.

"I want my father and mother to live well. I want everyone in the Tham family to live in peace. That's all."

So Dao looked at me, his eyes gradually turning red. She opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded. Then she turned around and left. Walked a few steps and stopped, but did not turn back.

“Tham Chieu Ninh, your fate is better than mine.”

Her voice was blown away by the wind, but half was blown away by the wind. I stood in front of the door, watching her back get farther and farther away, finally turning around the corner of the alley and disappearing completely. We don't know where she will go. I don't know how she will live in the future. But we know, everything here is really over. We pushed the door open and entered the house. In the hospital, my mother was sitting under a cinnamon tree picking vegetables. Seeing me return, he raised his head and smiled at me.

“Have you bought fish?”

“Yes, sea bass, very fresh.”

"Then let's steam it tonight. Your father likes this dish the most."

I gave the fish to Thanh Hoa, then sat down next to my mother, helping her choose vegetables. Warm sunlight covered the entire courtyard. The scent of cinnamon flowers drifts in the wind in waves. The mother was picking vegetables and chattering in the house, about whose family's lychees sell cheaper, whose family just opened a cake shop, tomorrow should go to the temple to light a stick of incense. I sit and listen, occasionally answering a few questions. This is the life we really want. It's a past life we can't keep. In this life, even if I have to risk my life, I will keep it. That night at dinner, my father picked up a piece of the softest fish meat and put it in my bowl.

“Chieu Ninh, do you have any plans for the future?”

I took a bite of fish.

“There are no plans.”

"There's no need to rush to get married, it's good to stay home for a while longer." Mother was next to continue speaking. "My daughter is so good, there will be no need for a good family to come to marry me in the future."

My father nodded slightly and said nothing more. I bowed my head and continued to eat the rice. The fish meat in the bowl was white and tender, so fresh and delicious that my tongue felt like it was about to melt. After eating, I sat in the courtyard and took a walk to relieve my hunger. The moon has risen. Both round and bright. Just like the night I was reborn again. That night, I only thought of one thing...I wanted to see them go down to the yellow spring with my own eyes. Now that I think back, at that time my eyes were filled with only hatred. But hate... can make one person become one other people. Luckily, the hatred will one day dry up. Co Dien Chi is gone. So Dao is also gone. The people of the Tham family are all safe. The hatred in my heart... is probably about to run out. The moonlight fell on the cinnamon tree in the yard, its shadow swaying on the ground. I stretched and then yawned lightly.

“Thanh Hoa.”

“This is my slave.”

"Tomorrow, go to town and see if there are any nice fabrics. Autumn is coming, make a new outfit for mother."

I stood up and went into the room. Walking to the door, I stopped for a moment and turned my head to look at the moon above. The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. (FULL TEXT)
