Chapter 2 — From B-Class Star to National Farmer

A moment later. Behind him came the sound of a box being torn open. My waist was suddenly hugged tightly from behind, followed by a large hand placed on the back of my head, then his lips covered me, bringing hot breath straight to my lips. Although I have been involved in the entertainment industry and have experienced a bit, but in this matter... I am still a true novice. At this moment, my heart was pounding, my head was in chaos like a jumble. — “Luc Thua Tieu, can you… can you lighten up a bit?” I was pressed down by him, his kiss was gentle at first, then gradually became stronger. I placed my hand on his chest, breathing rapidly. - "Okay." His voice was hoarse, carrying heavy breathing. He tore the small bag, I blushed and closed my eyes tightly. Anyway, sooner or later we have to go through it, let's just ignore it... Time has passed for a long time. — “Chi Chi… this… doesn't fit…” His voice was low and full of control, panting. I secretly opened my eyes, took a glance, and my heart sank. — “You… don't you know your own size…” In the gift bags they gave out that day, they were all standard sizes. — “Go to bed early.” I quickly pulled the blanket to cover myself, but the scene just kept flashing in my head, replaying it over and over again. That... must be so painful... Yet he continued to press closer, his hands began to feel restless. — “You… what are you doing…” What is that honest and naive thing? Obviously like a scoundrel! — “Luc Thua Tieu… no, I don't want to get pregnant…” I struggled. — “I... I'll go out and buy another one.” After speaking, he immediately got out of bed and prepared to get the car keys. — "Luc Thua Tieu! Come back to me immediately!" I stopped him, unable to believe it: — “Are you crazy in the middle of the night?” — “I want to sleep, I don't want to do anything anymore.” He lowered his eyes, looking disappointed. I pulled the blanket up to cover half of my red face and mumbled: - "I can do it tomorrow..." - "Okay, then tomorrow." I blushed and tried to get out of his arms, both annoyed and embarrassed: — "Can... can you be less rude?" — “You said you were honest and simple, who would have thought that you would be like an animal like this…” Luc Thua Tieu did not answer, just bowed his head and smiled softly, his voice carrying a very clear smile: — “Tomorrow I will be a little gentler.” My face turned red even more, I wished I could crawl to the ground. —“Your body is so stiff, the bed is hard, sleeping is not comfortable at all…” 5 That night I did not sleep very well. My chest is hot, my breath is burning in my ears. As soon as it was dawn, suddenly there was a loud rooster crowing. Sleep irritation immediately broke out. — "Luc Thua Tieu! Where did you get this chicken? It's so noisy..." I covered myself with the blanket and grumbled. — “Go see.” He quickly got out of bed. Less than two minutes after returning, the sound of the rooster crowing also disappeared. — “Where is the chicken?” I asked dreamily. He pulled me into his arms, his voice low and calm: — "Killed." Killed... killed?! I slept until the sun rose, and there was no one around. Outside in the yard, Luc Thua Tieu's mother was plucking chicken feathers. — "Chi Chi is up yet? Thua Tieu went to the fields early, it's time to get busy with the fall crop." — "Early in the morning he killed a huge rooster and said it would nourish you. I'm preparing to stew it for you two to eat." I looked at the chicken feathers flying everywhere on the ground, silently repenting for the crime of... complaining. 6 Near noon, Luc Thua Tieu returned. He was carrying an expensive gift bag from the jewelry store strength, face full of expectation and gave it to me. — “Mr. Ly said every time his wife is sad, she buys a gold bracelet and she's immediately happy again.” I opened the bag, inside neatly arranged... six large, sparkling gold bracelets, the light was dazzling. No wonder people call him "alum tycoon"... — "Luc Thua Tieu, why are you... buying so much? I'm not Na Tra..." I smiled bitterly. — “I don't know what style you like.” He explained, then gently pulled my hand and said a familiar sentence: - "Chi Chi, don't be sad anymore." This again... I really don't know how to comfort anyone. I sighed helplessly. — "I ordered a new mattress, it will be delivered in the afternoon. You will sleep more comfortably from now on." He held my hand, his voice mixed with a bit of ingratiation. I just said "yeah" indifferently. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him carrying a transparent plastic bag, stuffed full of things. — “What is in that bag?” I asked curiously. — “It's…” He hesitated, then decisively handed the bag to me. As soon as I looked, I was stunned. A bag full of... XL condoms type 001. — "You... are you crazy why did you buy so much!?" — “Buy more, it's cheaper.” He replied calmly. Me: ……… How can his face be so thick that it doesn't turn red or shy like that! 7 That afternoon, two people came to deliver bed mattresses. A young man and woman, the girl wearing a light beige dress, with a pretty and sweet face. The son was wearing flashy branded T-shirts and his hair was dyed blonde. As soon as I entered the door, I heard him shout loudly: "Sister-in-law, the bed mattress Mr. Tieu bought for you has arrived!" Luc Thua Tieu's mother also came out right after the call. — “It's great for you, A Hoang, sit down and drink a sip of water first.” As she spoke, she introduced herself to me: — "Chi Chi, this is A Hoang, who grew up with Thua Tieu since childhood." I nodded in greeting. A Hoang gulped down a glass of water, wiped his sweat and said cheerfully: - "Sister-in-law, Mr. Tieu is busy with the harvest these days, if you have anything to do, just tell me, I'll run first and run later to take care of everything." He pointed at the girl accompanying him: "This is Tieu Gia, Mr. Tieu's assistant, you can ask her for anything." The girl smiled brightly and greeted me: - "Sister-in-law, please add me on WeChat, if there's anything convenient to contact." Having said that, I handed over the phone. I scanned the code and heard her exclaim in surprise: — "Sister-in-law is really pretty, she looks like a star... but I can't think of a name yet." — “A Hoang, do you think it looks similar?” — “I think my sister-in-law is even more beautiful than on TV.” The yellow boy laughed. Tieu Gia nodded and chimed in: "That's right, Mr. Tieu loves his sister-in-law very much. This mattress was brought from the city, more than twenty thousand yuan." As soon as the words finished, Luc Thua Tieu's mother was stunned: "What did you say? More than twenty thousand?" — “A mattress is also sold for 20,000?” Tieu Gia smiled and explained: "Yes sir, Mr. Tieu chose the best one in the store, it cost twenty five thousand yuan." — “Oh my god, the whole bed isn't even that much, why is the mattress so expensive?” A Hoang waved his hand to show that it was okay: - "Uncle, Mr. Tieu has money, it's a small matter." — "Even if you have money, you can't spend it like that. It's hard to earn money. How will you be able to live after spending it like this..." The mother-in-law muttered, her face full of worry. I stood next to her, feeling like I was no different from a wasteful daughter-in-law, wasting her child's money. The mood dropped completely. 8 Before dinner, Luc Thua Tieu went home. As soon as she entered the door, her mother pulled her back, as if preparing to interrogate her. — “Tieu Gia said the mattress he bought for Chi Chi was over twenty thousand bad?" Luc Thua Tieu washed his face in the yard and reacted very calmly: — "Yeah, so what?" His mother stamped her feet impatiently: — “Oh my god, have you been tricked? Why is a mattress so expensive? — “Buy at a genuine store in the city, it can't be faked.” — “The mattress you used before was only a few hundred yuan, isn't that good?” — “Chi Chi doesn't sleep comfortably, I'll change it to a better one for her.” He explained. — “Oh my god, the mattress is like this, how can I live in the future…” His mother sighed and entered the house. In less than a moment she returned, holding a small cloth bag. — “These are the savings books and bank cards that mom saved up, worth more than twenty thousand, I'll take them and spend them on Chi Chi.” — “She lived happily ever since she was a child, needing the best of everything.” — “Don't let her suffer, what will happen if she leaves her?” Luc Thua Tieu smiled helplessly: "Mom, if I give you money, you can spend it. I can't support my wife, right?" Hearing this, my heart suddenly warmed up. I thought I would have to face a stormy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be so understanding. I took out the gold bracelets Luc Thua Tieu bought and chose the one with the most beautiful pattern: — "Mom, this is what I bought for you." For now, there is nothing suitable, so I have to "borrow flowers to offer to Buddha". As soon as she called out "mom", she was so emotional that she stammered. — “Oh Chi Chi, what are you doing, don't waste money on me…” I put the bracelet on her arm, smiled and said: — “It's just my heart, it's so beautiful on it.” — “Oh my god, keep it, I'll be in trouble when I wear it like this, I'll be sorry if it gets scratched.” I held her hand, smiled and said: "It's okay, if it breaks, I'll buy a new one for you." Her eyes filled with tears of joy: — "Oh my God, Thua Tieu marrying you is truly my family's blessing. I consider you as my own daughter." — “When Thua Tieu went to school, our family was so poor that we didn't even have enough food to eat. Thanks to Professor Hua, he is what he is today. He often talks about you and your father." I was a little curious: — "Did he ever mention you?" I just remember my dad had many excellent students, but... I didn't expect him to be among them. Every Tet holiday, many students come to my house to wish me a Happy New Year. Only Luc Thua Tieu was different. He often wore an old black t-shirt. When other friends gathered and chatted, he quietly stayed in the backyard to help my mother plant flowers and vegetables. He is introverted and quiet, and there is almost no communication between him and me. So, when I heard my mother-in-law say that he had mentioned me, I was quite surprised. — “What did he… say about you?” — “Oh my, he said that the teacher's little sister, the three subjects combined are not even equal to his father's blood pressure.” I: ………
