Chapter 2 — I Choose Law, Not Forgiveness

The moving company staff was also very thoughtful, helping me carry all those things to the door, piling them into a huge pile in the hallway. I stood in the living room, looking at the house after being stripped of Ky Thuc's furniture, and suddenly felt... strangely spacious. Ky Thuc and I rented a two-room apartment with a living room. One room serves as a bedroom. One room serves as a game room for him. Two rooms, filled with stuff inside and out. Before, I always felt like the house was too small and there were too many things. I even considered adding more rent to change to a more spacious three-room apartment. Until today, when Ky Thuc's belongings were cleaned up, I suddenly realized... It turns out that this two-room, one-guest apartment is very large! Are you alone here? Unbelievable comfort! Yet for Ky Thuc's sake, I endured the hustle and bustle of living in this stuffy space for a whole year! Thinking about this, I just want to slap myself: When I fell in love with Ky Thuc, I really had a problem with my mind! It's clear how peaceful it is to live alone. Why do I feel like I'm possessed by an evil spirit and have to serve a man?! I comfortably leaned down on the sofa, preparing to enjoy the newly cleaned space. At that moment, a series of pounding sounds rang out on the door. Next, Ky Thuc's angry voice echoed outside the door: - Duong Nhac Nghi, what are you doing?! — What right do you have to throw all my things out?! — Quickly open the door for me! I know you're at home, open the door quickly! — If you don't open it, I'll call the police! Ky Thuc knocked on the door and kicked it loudly, the door made a buzzing noise, as if it was about to come off its hinges. — How long do you want to cause trouble?! — Just because I talked to another girl a few words, do you have to make such a fuss in the middle of the night? — Quickly open the door! Otherwise I'll really break up with you! 04 I was sitting at home, sipping some light wine, listening and feeling dumbfounded. It turns out... Ky Thuc from beginning to end still thought that the farewell I said was just a joke? I threw all his things out, but he still thinks I'm angry and making fun of him? Really... I want to cry because I'm so touched. I was so touched that I opened the door with a bang - Then threw a whole basin of cold water right in his face! Ky Thuc was suddenly thrown by me. Before he could close his mouth, he choked on a mouthful and coughed loudly in the middle of the night. — Duong Nhac Nghi! — Ky Thuc trembled with anger, gritting his teeth and calling my name. — That's enough, stop screaming. I frowned, hooked my ear with my pinky finger, clicked my tongue impatiently: - I already said goodbye. — Don't you understand what "break up" means? — Breaking up means it's over, it's over, it's game over! — From now on, you and I are strangers, do you hear me? Ky Thuc's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he glared and said: - I have not agreed to break up! — I know you're angry, but you don't need to use such a soft and tight bandage to scare me. Having said that, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, tried to act calm, lowered his voice as if he was teaching me: - Just now in front of so many people, you kicked me, slapped me, I can ignore it without hesitation. — But now you dare to throw all my things out, I can't bear it anymore! — If you don't apologize, I will absolutely not forgive you! I was really made to laugh. — Are you sure you won't forgive? - Sure! — Ky Thuc gritted his teeth advantageous, face full of arrogance. He looked at me with the eyes of someone confident that I would hold on and beg like before. It's a pity... All of that already belongs to "before the breakup". Right now, I just smiled with relief and gently replied: - That's great! — The more unforgiving you are, the happier I am! — You better get as far away as possible and never appear in front of me again! Having finished speaking, taking advantage of Ky Thuc's moment when he was still stunned and unable to react, I turned back into the house and slammed the door shut! Ky Thuc was dumbfounded, looking at the door that had just closed in disbelief. Just as I was about to raise my foot to kick again, I suddenly opened the door and shouted: - Oh right, I'm generous, I don't even bother to charge you the rent for the past year! — After packing up, go away quickly. If I hear any movement outside the door, it won't be just cold water anymore! As soon as he finished speaking, bang - Ky Thuc was still unwilling and kicked the door hard. At that moment, I grabbed a bowl of steaming hot water and opened the door with a bang! Ky Thuc's face turned pale, he jumped back a few steps in panic: - You... don't do anything wrong! — If you bounce over it, it's intentionally causing injury, I can sue you! I sneered, not bothering to look at him, waved my hand and threw the bowl of hot water straight out the door - the water splashed, the heat rising blindly. Some water even hit his feet, making him scream like a burned monkey. I leisurely stood there watching, then raised my hand and made a gesture as if I wanted to throw it again. Ky Thuc screamed loudly and ran away in panic. It seems that after the recent "hot water warning", he finally realized that I was no longer joking. Don't dare scream, don't dare kick the door. Outside, there was finally silence for a precious moment. But not long after, I heard mumbling, grumbling, and then the sound of furniture being pulled outside. It sounds like... moving things. A few trips later, everything became completely quiet. I climbed into bed, covered myself with a soft blanket, and slept soundly like never before. 05 I thought the story between me and Ky Thuc was over. Until I was at work the next day, suddenly the phone alarm from the smart door lock rang. My eyelids twitched, I immediately opened the door camera to look - I saw Ky Thuc leading a locksmith, trying to break down my door! I didn't have time to think too much, jumped out of my seat, took a quick break and ran straight home. As soon as I arrived, I saw his people moving things out of my house! Ky Thuc also just walked out of the inner room holding the 4090 card box. As soon as he encountered me, he immediately stiffened, his face stiffened, his actions also stopped in place. A moment later, he clasped the box in his hand and brazenly opened his mouth: - I'm just taking back the items that belong to me! I stepped forward, blocked in front of the group of people carrying things, gritted my teeth and asked: - TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, even my computer - do you dare to say that these things are yours? — If you have the courage, repeat the previous sentence verbatim! — What are you screaming so loudly? — Ky Thuc frowned and shouted back, his voice even louder than mine: — I'm not deaf so you have to shout! — If you break up, it must be clear! — I took my things, you don't need to yell like that! I almost burst out laughing because I was angry. Having loved each other for so long, today I woke up and realized how thick his face is any! — Are you sure those things are yours? So why do I still have all my purchase receipts in my phone? Ky Thuc paused, his face constipated on the spot. — What nonsense are you talking about! — When you moved in with me, you only brought three suitcases, from the bed to the mattress, from the electronics to the stove — which one didn't I buy?! The more he talked, the angrier he got, the more saliva he wanted to spray in my face. At that moment, Ly Y Huyen also came out of the house, carrying one of my bags. She seemed to sincerely advise: - Little sister, as a human being, don't be so unreasonable. — A Thuc told me everything last night, how he treated me over the past year, I know best. — If you've already kicked someone out of the house, stop it. Now you're going to take over all of that person's stuff? Ly Y Huyen said as she curled her lips in disdain: - You're really greedy like that, it's very valuable, you know? I lowered my eyes and didn't speak. Let the two of them be insulted and smeared. Speaking of this, Ly Y Huyen intimately stood next to Ky Thuc and even put her arm around him. Ky Thuc's face also visibly softened, the two of them looked at each other, almost making me nauseous. His love for me is so wet that it seems like the world around me no longer exists. They didn't bother to look at me, hand in hand, they were about to walk past me to leave.
