I took her home for dinner. What about her? She remembered my password. She used my computer to log into the system. She deleted my wishes. Then he cried again and said: "Toc Toc, I'm also sad for you." I squatted down. Look straight into her eyes.
“Sam Yeu, you kneel so skillfully.”
“You must have used this trick quite a bit over the past five years, right?”
Her expression immediately changed. I took out my phone. Turn on recording.
“I recorded all of your words just now.”
Tan Man shouted: "What are you recording for?" I stood up.
“Don't you want me to correct you?”
"Okay."
Everyone in the hospital room looked at me. Sam Ye's eyes lit up.
“Toc Toc, do you really agree?”
I laugh.
"Agree."
“But before I post the correction, please answer me one question.”
She was stunned.
“What question?”
I said every word: "Dai Dien's wish five years ago, why did you call Hoac Ky to my house?" Hoc Ky's face immediately changed. Tears on Sam Yeo's face stopped. The hospital room was as silent as death. I filled out my wish five years ago. In the house there are only me and Sam Yeu. My parents were suddenly called to attend a relative's party. Sam Yeu said she was afraid of filling in wrong so she grabbed her computer and came to find me.
“Toc Toc, please help me look.”
“I really don't know what to do.”
I finished filling in my wishes. Faculty of Law, Kinh Thanh University. Law Department of Nam Thanh University. Law Department of East China Political University. Each choice is something I have thought about for a long time. Sam Yeu sat next to me, his eyes sparkling.
“Toc Toc, you're really good.”
“It would be great if I were half as smart as you.”
I laughed at her.
“You're not bad either.”
She shook her head.
“I can't.”
“My family has no money.”
“My parents just want me to study a major that costs less money.”
“In the future, quickly go to work to support the family.”
I comforted her.
“Just fill in the major you want to study first.”
"You can apply for a loan regarding tuition fees."
She said nothing. A moment later, she suddenly asked: "Toc Toc, what is your password?"
“I'll help you remember, what if you forget?”
I casually told her. Because then I believed her. Believe more than yourself. After nine o'clock in the evening, Hoc Ky called me. He said he was under my house.
“Le Toc, come down here for a moment.”
I asked: “Do what?” He said: “There is something I want to tell you.” At that time, Hoc Ky and I were still not together. He is the head of the class next door. Everyone said he was cold. But he was always very patient with me. Sam Yeu heard his voice and immediately pushed me.
“Go quickly.”
“Maybe he wants to confess.”
My face gets hot.
“Don't talk nonsense.”
She laughed and pushed me out the door.
“Just leave your computer here, I'll look after it for you.”
It only took me ten minutes to go down. Hoc Ky stood under the streetlight. In his hand he held two bottles of yogurt.

He said: "Tomorrow will be the graduation reunion, will you go?" I said: “It depends on the situation.” “I want you to go,” he said. I was stunned. He was also stunned. Then his ears turned red. That night, we didn't confess our love. Just stood downstairs talking for ten minutes of meaningless things. When I got home, Sam Yeu had closed the computer. She said: "I'm so sleepy."
“Have you saved your wish?”
I asked her. She nodded.
“Saved it.”
The next day, system close. On the third day, I checked and discovered that the wish section was empty. I went crazy and ran to school. The teaching department said: "The last login was from my home network address."
“The operation history shows that the request was erased before being sent.”
I said no way. They asked: "Other than you, who else knows the password?" I looked towards Sam Yeu. She cried.
“Toc Toc, do you doubt me?”
“I'm only by your side when filling out your wishes.”
“Why should I hurt you?”
Everyone is on her side. Because she cried so terribly. Because her family is poor. Because she's normally obedient. Because I am a person with good achievements and a good family background, there should be no comparison. Now, five years later. I asked her in the hospital room: "That night, you called Hoc Ky down to keep me company, right?" Sam Ye's lips trembled.
"Not."
I looked at Hoc Ky.
“You say it.”
Hoc Ky's face was very ugly.
“That night…”
Sam Yeu suddenly shouted: “Hoo Ky!” This scream startled everyone. Hoc Ky closed his eyes.
“She texted me.”
“She said you weren't in a good mood and told me to come downstairs and talk to you a few words.”
The hospital room immediately buzzed. Tan Man's face changed completely.
“Hoo Ky, what do you mean?”
“Now because of Le Toc, do you want to slander Yeu Yeu?”
Hoc Ky did not look at her. He just looked at me.
“At that time I didn't know what she wanted to do.”
“I really don't know.”
I laughed.
“Of course I don't know.”
“I just happened to appear.”
“Accidentally called me down.”
“Accidentally leave her ten minutes.”
Hoc Ky's throat moved.
"Sorry."
Sam Yeu's whole body trembled.
“You all join forces to pressure me!”
“Le Toc, you just want to destroy me!”
I picked up the phone.
"Okay."
