Chapter 3 — I'm in charge of my own life

As for my scholarship, I can't touch it, because at best I'll argue with him once and then let it go. To Van Tinh gently pulled his sleeve: "Huc Ngon, leave it. Since Thoi Nhat is not satisfied, then that's it, I won't study anymore. My achievements are not good anyway, whether I go to college or not makes no difference." Bui Huc Ngon immediately turned around: "Don't say bad things. That's the result of studying hard to pass the exam." To Van Tinh's tears fell again: "But I can't, for my own sake, make the love between the two of you for so many years disappear." Saying that, she looked towards me.

"Thi Nhat, I know you like Huc Ngon. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for him."

It felt like something had just been broken in my heart. It's not pain. Which is ridiculous. She was wearing Bui Huc Ngon's shirt, her hand still clutching his sleeve, yet she told me that she wouldn't take it away. Bui Huc Ngon also did not explain. He just frowned at me.

“Don't get angry because of your feelings for me and cut a chopping block on Van Tinh's body.”

It turns out he also knew that I liked him. I know, but I still arbitrarily donated the scholarship money on my behalf. I know, so I'm even more convinced that I will never leave. I suddenly felt like my secret feelings for so many years were like a joke.

"You two can rest assured." I said. “I don't fight with you.”

To Van Tinh's eyes flashed with surprise, but Bui Huc Ngon's expression did not relax.

“What about the scholarship…”

“Also DO NOT forget.”

I took out my phone. Open a chat group that three people have been using for the past three years. In the group, there are multiple-choice exercise files that I compiled, documents on university English grading, analysis of major selection, and even the private study path that I outlined for To Van Tinh. Every time Bui Huc Ngon says:

“The first time is the most careful.”

“Thi Nhat help us watch.”

“Thi Nhat just compile it and send it to the group.”

Before leaving the group, I exported the entire chat history into a backup file. Then click on settings, and select Leave group.

“From today onwards, the matter between the two of you will be resolved by the two of you.”

Bui Huc Ngon's face finally changed.

"Chu Thoi Nhat, have you caused enough trouble? Those documents were originally for the three of us to use together!"

“It was compiled by me.”

“Friends have been together for so many years, do you have to calculate it so clearly?”

I looked at him. "For my scholarship, you two didn't even bother to calculate it clearly. Now let me help you calculate it clearly." Having finished speaking, I turned around and left. Behind him, To Van Tinh's crying voice and Bui Huc Ngon's angry comforting voice were heard. I never looked back. 03 Six o'clock the next morning. The breakfast restaurant had just opened and the first customer walked in holding his phone.

“Your family is the stingy Poinsettia family that refuses to donate that scholarship, right?”

My mother was scooping noodles, her hands were shaking, a spoonful of hot broth spilled onto the table.

“What is stingy?” She put the bowl down firmly. “That was originally my daughter's money!”

The guest pouted. "Poor students are about to drop out of school. Your daughter will study at a prestigious school in the future. Why do you still need that little money? If you don't need it, just donate it."

“You don't Why don't you donate? My mother cursed straight to my face.

The man frowned, turned and left. While leaving, I even took a photo of the sign of my breakfast restaurant. Less than half an hour later, more than a dozen 1-star reviews appeared on the restaurant review app. 【The Poinsettia family has no human love.】 【A bowl of noodles is this expensive, no wonder they don't have the heart to donate money.】 【The daughter studies well but the parents live poorly.】 My father silently wiped the table. Mom was so angry that her eyes were red, but she still said it was okay.
