Chapter 2 — If There's One Day Left to Love

Lang Dieu's face was cold as water, he indifferently withdrew his gaze as if he didn't know me. He picked the food into the girl's bowl across from him: "To Duyet, eat, it won't get cold later." It turns out your girlfriend looks like this. It's been a long time since I felt so humiliated. Behind him, Lam Da chased after: "Tieu Tinh, give me one more chance!" Seeing me suddenly stop, he quickly pinched my arm. I woke up, holding my stomach with one hand, and forcefully pushing his hand away with the other. I ran, he chased, behind me the innocent girl's voice rang out: "Lam Da! Lam Da!" Lam Da looked back: "I will explain to you later!" Neither of us bothered to turn around and just left the restaurant. After getting in the car, Lam Da breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled down the mirror and sadly looked at his handsome face: "Tieu Tinh, next time change to a softer bag! This alloy rim almost made me blind!" “This time the target audience is really difficult!” Lam Da kept babbling: "You've 'abandoned' it so openly and she doesn't notice anything!" The phone he tossed on the dashboard vibrated. He picked it up, looked like he saw a ghost, then turned the screen towards me, letting me read the chat. Trang Hien Dao: Don't panic, just keep the baby safe first. Trang Hien Dao: Tell her to rest assured, I will be a good stepmother. Lam Da: “Is she crazy!” I pulled out the fake belly and lazily said: "What if I really like you?" Lam Da snorted and laughed: "Like me? Like my property! What do I have that's worth her liking?" He held up his fake belly and pretended: "My poor son, your mother still abandoned me!" I immediately snapped back: "Stop being ridiculous! There's no longer an audience for you to act!" As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Lang Dieu and his girlfriend appear in the parking lot. Lam Da's eyes were sharp: "Hey, isn't that guy your ex-boyfriend?" I raised my bag again and hit him: "Drive quickly! Do you want to lose face even more?" Lam Da started the car and cursed: "I'm your golden master! Who would treat the golden master like that?" The car passed them, Lang Dieu reflexively pulled the girl closer to him. I closed my eyes and only heard Lam Da say he hadn't eaten yet and wanted to find something hot to warm his stomach. His talkative mouth never stopped the whole way. "Your ex-boyfriend is living quite well now, the girl next to him is the daughter of the general director of Can Nguyen Group..." I felt annoyed, but Lam Da suddenly changed the subject: "Le Kien Tinh, do you regret breaking up?" 5 The phone suddenly rang and the two words Lang Dieu appeared on the screen. I turned off the bell and turned the screen face down: "No regrets." Lam Da found a parking spot near the night market, we went down to eat. Choosing a grilled fish restaurant, after ordering, Lam Da ordered another case of beer. After drinking three bottles, he finished telling his suffering. This is the older sister who is both a workaholic and likes to drag him to work overtime with her. A normal working day is only five days, but Lam Da's working hours add up to more than six days. The remaining day, he still had to go on a blind date at her request. If a rich man works for a long time, his body will be infected with a strong "office worker" smell. After eating, I proactively paid. I'm naturally stingy, and with this young master, I always "pluck everything". Lam Da pretended to be surprised: "Did you drink fake beer tonight? Are you inviting me to dinner again?" I raised my hand, annoyed: "If you invite me to dinner, are you still teasing me?" Pay here! 286 yuan!” "There's no way to spend money. After eating it... at best, I'll vomit and give it back to you." “You're just disgusting!” Lam Da called the driver to take me home first. In the car, the warm air conditioning combined with the alcohol made me feel lightheaded. Lam Da closed his eyes to rest. When he wasn't talking, he looked a bit like "strangers don't come close". My house is close, we will soon arrive. I put my hand on the car door, about to say goodbye, when Lam Da suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly. “Tieu Tinh.” – his voice carried a bit of drunkenness – “You said on the phone that you wanted to leave, is that true?” I tried to withdraw my hand but couldn't, he held it very tightly: "Really. My luggage has already been packed." "Why?" – Lam Da opened his eyes and looked straight at me, his eyes bright. “No reason, if you want to go, just go.” "Where to go?" “Why ask? Do you want to change your household registration and follow me to beg?" Lam Da laughed, let go and then regained his carefree appearance: "That's right, how did you know? So when are you planning to go? “Maybe tomorrow or tomorrow.” – I opened the car door and greeted him – “Goodbye.” The cold wind blew, making me shiver continuously. Lam Da got out of the car and chased after me, raised his hand to take off his jacket and put it on me. “Having acted as my girlfriend and suitor so many times, we can consider it a bit of a mutual love affair, right?” He opened his arms: "Tieu Tinh, give me a hug!" I frowned in disgust: "Don't!" Lam Da pulled me into his arms: "Another twenty thousand for you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled away by someone, and even I staggered along. Before he could react, Lang Dieu gave him a punch straight in the face. “Lang Dieu! What are you doing!” 6 The two people got into a fight. I impatiently stomped my feet on the spot, but did not dare to rush in and pull, for fear of getting hit unfairly. What a dog-blooded scenario! Glancing over, I saw the driver watching with wide eyes, so he pointed and shouted: "If you don't stop, I'll tell the driver to hit and kill two people now!" The driver quickly waved his hand and backed away: "I don't dare!" I gritted my teeth, swung my bag and rushed towards them both: "If you don't stop, I'll drive and kill those two!" Finally, they agreed to separate. Lam Da wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "Tieu Tinh, he struck first!" Lang Dieu's face was still gloomy, pointing at Lam Da: "You broke up with me, did you find something like this?" Lam Da got angry: "Who are you saying is that type?" I quickly stood in front of Lam Da: "That's enough, go home quickly!" Lang Dieu's eyes fell on my stomach, his face slightly stunned. Shock, pain, disbelief — all sorts of emotions flashed through his eyes. His voice was hoarse as if choked with blood: "Did you... abort your child for him?" I unconsciously hugged my full stomach: "No, I'll explain another time." Lang Dieu laughed coldly, his voice trembling with anger: "Le Kien Tinh, you are really good, for money you can lower yourself to this level!" The tight nerves in my head suddenly snapped. My body acted before my mind — I raised my hand and slapped Lang Dieu straight in the face. “Can you stop? It's been so long since we broke up, what right do you have to stand here and teach me?" Lang Dieu's face was slapped upside down, he was stunned for a few seconds before recovering. He gradually regained his composure, touched his cheek, the corner of his lips curled up: "Good, good, blame me for suddenly intervening." other people's business!" “Don't worry, there won't be a next time!” Having finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly. My shoulders sagged, as if all my strength had been drained away. I took off my coat and gave it back to Lam Da. He took it, his face gloomy. The face that he valued the most had just been hit several times by Lang Dieu, and was now painfully red and swollen. Afraid that he would cause trouble with Lang Dieu in the future, I apologized: "Sorry, do you need me to help you take the medicine?" He snorted, threw his coat over his shoulders: "Let's go!" Luckily, my luggage in the house had not yet been packed. I found a bottle of iodine tincture and a tube of ointment. As soon as Lam Da saw it, he frowned: "Iodine tincture? Are you going to let me carry my yellow face to work tomorrow?” I looked at the swollen corners of his lips and wanted to say it again. If I don't apply iodine, tomorrow my face will be completely blue and purple! “Leave it there.” – He looked disparaging – “I'll go find a doctor to handle it.” Rich guys like me all have a family doctor in their homes. Lam Da glanced at the unfinished luggage in the living room before he believed I really wanted to go. He circled around my one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, then threw his coat on the sofa and plopped down like a king. This young master didn't apply medicine and refused to leave. What was he planning to do by staying here? Suddenly he called my name without a head or tail: "Le Kien Tinh." Then… silence. I cautiously asked: "What's the instruction?" He pursed his lips: "You broke up with him... because of money?" I didn't answer, I just found this question too sudden. It wouldn't be appropriate to say anything right now, so I pretended to stare intently at the sofa leg. But Lam Da didn't care about the answer, he blatantly asked again: "I have a lot of money, do you want to be with me?"
