Chapter 4 — Fiance Thanh Mai Truc Ma

9My brachial artery was severed, and I almost lost my life. "You're really good, Lam Niem Niem, would you rather keep your property and lose your life?" In the hospital room, Co Thanh peeled oranges for me while scolding me. After many years of not seeing him, his demeanor became even more calm, his delicate features had lost their immaturity, replaced by the charm of a mature man. Heard a familiar call I hadn't heard in a long time. Looking at the person I had been away from for so many years, all the warmth and resentment in my heart suddenly welled up. I bowed my head, looked at his fingers turning over, tears began to fall. He was a bit confused, unable to free his hands, so he carefully used the back of his hand to wipe my tears. The warm feeling on my face made my heart beat faster. I tilted my head and mumbled: "No, it's a gift you gave me for my eighteenth birthday. I don't want to lose it." The whole room was silent. While I was still blaming myself for talking too much, I was suddenly pulled into a strong embrace. His deep voice rang above my head: "Lam Niem Niem, can I understand that it is as I think?" How is it? How? My mind is blank. I… can I understand that it is as I think?10Tham Mo was forced by his father to come and apologize to me. He knelt down beside my bed, his face full of regret and sorrow, crying: "Nim Niem, I was wrong, I was really wrong Niem Niem, I shouldn't have abandoned you..." Before he could finish his sentence, Co Thanh grabbed him by the neck and dragged him out. From then on, I no longer saw Tham Mo come to bother me. I asked Co Thanh, he didn't say anything. Finally, I had to find a chance to ask my father. The old man grinned and proudly replied: "Are you asking the boy from the Tham family? I heard I didn't know who he offended, he was beaten up, and he's been at home recuperating for the past few days." I glanced at Co Thanh, who was calmly serving me food, and secretly nudged him, "Hey, are you fighting?" He hummed. Seeing that I didn't say anything, he hesitantly asked: "Why, do you feel sorry?" I rolled my eyes: "Do I feel sorry for that two-handed fisherman?" Co Thanh didn't say anything, just poured me another bowl of soup. It's just that the smile on his lips cannot be contained no matter what. The fact that I was injured made my father angry. One day, he pulled Co Thanh into his study and whispered to each other all morning. The next day, the Lam family and the Co family began to unite to crush the Tham Thi group. Surely Tham's father is very confused and does not have time to ask me to forgive Tham Mo. The dream of fulfillment that he had always hoped for was finally shattered.11Since reaching an agreement with my father, Co Thanh began to visit my house often. Every time he came, my father was extremely welcoming. It's just that the relationship between me and Co Thanh is very strange. More than friendship, but not yet love. He took care of me very thoughtfully, paying attention to every detail. But never broke that boundary. I couldn't understand his thoughts, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, feeling restless. Summer comes very quickly. Looking in the mirror and seeing the ugly scar on my arm, I felt sad. Co Thanh saw my appearance, patted my shoulder and said: "Let's go." I followed him back and forth to a tattoo shop. Looking at him holding the tattoo machine and proficiently operating it, I curiously asked: "Do you also know how to do this?" He did not answer, focusing on work. It is said that serious men are the most beautiful. I looked at his focused eyes, my heart suddenly fluttered. I didn't know how long I was dreaming when I suddenly heard him say: "It's done." I looked and saw that on the previously ugly scar, there was now a tattoo of a black ring of thorns, in the middle was a sharp rose that looked just right.

Wild and seductive. I raised my eyebrows and said in surprise: "Are you that good?" "Before, when I was abroad, I was interested in studying a little in my free time." Seeing that I was satisfied, Co Thanh also smiled. His sharp eyes softened, I clearly saw the love in his eyes. But he kept hiding it and refused to say it. His vague attitude made me extremely miserable. Until one night, when I woke up to drink water, I saw my father secretly calling in the study room to no one. I sneaked closer and heard his complacent voice: "Yes, I still don't understand my daughter? I can't let her have it easily, the more ambiguous she is, the more impatient she is, the more impatient she is, the more she cares about you..." Okay, it turns out there is an insider in the house. I angrily kicked in the door and rushed in: "Humph, finally caught in the act!" My father was startled and panicked as if he had been caught in battle. Seeing that he could not deny it, he immediately lay down on the ground and cried out, "Whoa, whoa!" My mother heard the sound of running and asked in surprise: "What is going on in the middle of the night?" I stomped my foot angrily and said: "This old man always helps outsiders!" then ran straight to the room. That night, I packed my bags and went straight to the airport.12I flew to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, which I had always wanted to see. Beautiful strips of jade green light danced in the sky, mysterious and overwhelming. Someone slowly walked towards me. I turned my head and saw Co Thanh's delicate profile. I pouted and stepped aside. He came closer again. I took a few more steps back. He came closer again. I continued to back away... He suddenly grabbed my hand, holding it very tightly. I looked up and saw his eyes full of affection, sparkling with tears, as if wanting to draw me into them. "Why are you chasing me?" I asked uncomfortably. He laughed: "If I don't chase after you, I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life." Suddenly I remembered that New Year's Eve. I just feel really angry. I couldn't help but my eyes turned red, I gave him a light punch, my voice choked up: "You lied, you graduated that year, I made a date with you on New Year's Eve, but you didn't come. I thought... I thought you..." I thought you didn't like me at all. Co Thanh was stunned: "What did you say to meet me?" I was also stupid: "That was on New Year's Eve, I texted you to ask you out. At that time I intended... to confess my love to you..." The more I spoke, the lower my voice became, and my face also turned red. Co Thanh was completely shocked: "I... I didn't receive any messages." We both looked at each other with wide eyes, in each other's eyes were unbelievable surprise. A moment later, I suddenly remembered something, so I pulled Co Thanh away: "I know, it must be because of Tham Mo, that bastard!" "Wait." Co Thanh held me back: "What did you just say to confess your love?" He looked straight at me, behind him was the magical light of the aurora. Being stared at by him made me feel uncomfortable, my palms were sweaty, my whole face was red. Suddenly, he bent down. My lips touched a soft, moist feeling. Soft, cool... I rolled my eyes, my body was stiff and didn't dare move, I didn't know where to put my hands, my heart was pounding like it wanted to jump out. Co Thanh smiled softly, one hand holding the back of my neck, the other hand pulling my arm around his waist. I felt the firmness of his palm. I pressed close to him, breathing in the familiar scent of agarwood on his body, just feeling like I was flying. Co Thanh is definitely a "goblin" that sucks all my essence, I thought dreamily. In the sky, colorful auroras are spreading. In my ear, Co Thanh's warm voice rang out: "Nim Niem, I won't let you slip away again." He hugged me tightly, as if he had just found a lost precious treasure. After confessing my love

Feeling each other, we quickly fell into a passionate love affair, as if wanting to make up for the years we had missed. I must admit that my father understands me very well. We traveled together for two months. At the blue Aegean coast, under the cool sea breeze, in the blessings of those around me, I accepted Co Thanh's marriage proposal.
