Chapter 2 — Give up on someone who doesn't love you

"Ha Ha has been in the middle of a graduate exam these past few days, and the pressure is very high. Don't bring up this morning's incident again in the future." "After eating later, I'll go apologize to her, to avoid letting her mind wander." I took the menu, my hand never putting down the pen. You may have noticed Van So Ha's mood, but until now you still haven't noticed that I left the chat group. The day I passed the civil service exam, I wished I could grow wings and fly to share that joy with him. He is on a leisure trip with Van So Ha, who failed in his first exam. This meal, which should have been a celebration of our contributions, has been waiting until today. Now that joy has soon been eroded. Just think of it as the last bit of dignity before parting ways. The hot pot is steaming hot and the side dishes are served. Hua Canh Hoai gave me a piece of beef, wanting to say it again. "The class group is holding a class reunion these days, are you free?" "Just came to visit the teachers..." The phone rang loudly. On the other end was Van So Ha's trembling plea for help. "Canh Hoai, I was originally planning to go to the public library, but I seem to have lost my way. This place is so deserted..." Before he finished speaking, he picked up his coat and went out. "Just stay where you are, don't move, I'll pick you up." Halfway there, Hua Canh Hoai seemed to remember me. "I'll take her home and then I'll come back." I didn't answer. Waited until the shop closed, and he didn't come back. I returned to school to self-study at night. The older teacher on duty chatted with me, laughing and trying to introduce me to my date. My hand that was grading papers stopped, my lips curled up. "Okay, let's meet if you have time." This time, I really didn't wait any longer. 4Van So Ha registered for the graduate exam, Hua Canh Hoai asked for a leave of absence to help her estimate scores and choose a school. When they got home, they sat at the dining table in the living room, my things were haphazardly thrown on the ground. I silently hugged the book back to the bedroom. A friend request appeared on WeChat. "Hello, I'm Tan Mien." "Excuse me, are you free this Saturday?" The old teacher once said that her son has been busy doing some small business for the past few years, and it's a bit difficult to communicate, but his heart is not bad. Hearing this familiar expression, the desire to retreat arose in my heart, but it was inconvenient to break my promise. So when you're on a blind date, just casually find a reason to leave. After grading the papers, I went out to get some water. Only Hua Canh Hoai was left in the living room. He held up the notification on his phone, his expression not very good. "What does this mean?" I calmly glanced at it. "Anyway, we broke up, let's disband the group." Hua Canh Hoai suddenly laughed coldly. "Sure enough, I heard it that morning." "If that's the case, then I'll say it straight. You don't have a good appearance like Ha Ha, it's not suitable to use this kind of trick. Doing so will only make me even more disgusted." "Calm down and think about it. Think again. Breaking up is neither painful nor itchy for me, but in your current condition, could you find someone better besides me?" Those cold words immediately pulled me back to seven years ago, when Hua Canh Hoai was still a stranger to me. In the middle of the crowd, under the sun, I always raised my head to look at him, actively clinging to him. I was indeed secretly jealous of Van So Ha, but later, out of guilt, I treated her much better. After she failed her graduate school exam and wanted to live with me, I immediately gritted my teeth and rented a double room. The day Van So Ha arrived, I rode a brand new small electric car to pick her up, but suddenly encountered a heavy downpour. Hua Canh Hoai immediately called. "Ly Vi, look what good thing you did? Why are you always so careless?"

What's the matter, can you take responsibility?" That night I took the car to buy medicine for Van So Ha, but in the end I caught a cold and fever for several days. Hua Canh Hoai just calmly commented: "It's okay, a cowardly life is easy to raise." A female classmate can also make him worry like fire, but me, this girlfriend is only worth two words. "Cowardly life." Turns out he has always thought of me like that. His heart hangs in limbo. My hangover finally fell, I can't explain what I feel. Hua Canh Hoai is right, I can't find anyone better than you in this life. Being able to know you was a great deal, but I just didn't want to be left alone in the tourist hall for three hours, with no one asking me until Saturday. I originally didn't intend to answer him new shirt. When I went out, I saw him and Van So Ha. The two of them seemed to be going out. Seeing me, Van So Ha's face looked a bit evasive. "I knew you would sneak a look at the group messages. Come along, I'll sit in the back seat." Just as I was about to answer, the phone in my pocket vibrated. "I'm already downstairs." I smiled at them. "No need, the teachers didn't like me that year, they probably didn't want to see me either." "You two go, have fun."
