Chapter 6 — In the Sea of People, I Only Remember You

Just when I couldn't argue anymore, the doorbell rang. Ta Canh Hanh wore a neat suit, carrying a large bag and small gift bag, standing in front of my house. Behind him were two black-shirted bodyguards, with an intimidating aura.

"Hello uncle, hello aunt, sorry for suddenly bothering you."

He bowed politely, completely losing his usual rogue appearance. Lo Vu's face immediately changed color. Ta Canh Hanh walked into the living room, without even glancing at Lo Vu, walked straight in front of my parents.

"I'm Ta Canh Hanh, I'm here today to clarify the recent rumors related to Tang Tang."

He snapped his fingers. The bodyguard behind him held up a stack of documents.

“This is the surveillance video from the day Tang Tang was locked in the equipment room, along with the testimony of the other female students about being instigated.”

He placed the documents on the coffee table, exactly on top of the other stack of photos. Then, he turned to Lo Vu, his lips curled into a cold smile.

"Classmate Lo, stealing photos is not only despicable, but also illegal. Do you need me to educate you on some legal knowledge?"

Lo Vu's face immediately turned pale.

“You… you slander!”

Ta Canh Hanh didn't pay any attention, turned to look at my parents, his eyes were sincere.

"I admit that I was a bit disobedient before, but I am sincere with Tang Tang. She is the benefactor who saved my life, and is also the person I... want to protect the most."

Having said that, he pulled out a sheet of allergy test results.

"This is the result of testing my allergy source. That day, Tang Tang accidentally fed me peanuts, but I don't blame her, because I know it was unintentional. On the contrary, there are people..."

His eyes glanced at Lo Vu meaningfully.

“Obviously being there, but seeing death without help, what is the purpose?”

My parents are both smart people, looking at this situation, combined with Lo Vu's panicked expression at that time, they already had a judgment in their hearts. My father picked up the USB containing the surveillance footage and stared at Lo Vu.

“Lo Vu, I will clarify this matter.”

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lo Vu quickly stood up, turned around and intended to leave.

"That... I still have work to do, please allow me to go home first."

When leaving, Lo Vu turned to look at me. His eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. But I don't care anymore. Because Ta Canh Hanh was quietly squeezing my hand and teasingly winked at me. My mother looked at the pile of expensive gifts brought by Ta Canh Hanh, and then at this bright and handsome son, her anger had already soared to cloud nine.

"Oh my god, my child, when you come to play, what are you bringing? Have you eaten anything yet? Stay for dinner and taste what I cook?"

I held my head. Indeed, in this world that values appearance, Ta Canh Hanh is a big winner.

But Lo Vu didn't stop there. He posted on the school forum, not only publicizing the fact that I was face blind, but also slandering me as having a mental illness and not being able to distinguish between humans and dogs. Below the article are all malicious comments.

"No wonder why he hurt Ta Canh Hanh so miserably, it turns out it's just nerves."

“This type of person should be locked up in a mental hospital, don't let them out to harm others.”

I looked at those words, my heart tightened. Face blindness is a pain I've had since childhood. I was always careful to hide it, but I didn't expect that the person I trusted the most would use it as a weapon to attack me. That afternoon, in art room. I was painting alone, wanting to calm down. Lo Vu suddenly rushed in. He locked the door, his eyes looking a bit crazy.

“Tang Tang, why do you keep forcing me?”

He stepped closer: "As long as you leave Ta Canh Hanh and come back to me, I will delete that post and help you talk." I clearly saw his distorted face.

“Lo Vu, you are so pitiful.”

I put down my brush and looked at him coldly: "You think that if you destroy me, I will belong to you?"

“You betrayed me first!”

Lo Vu screamed, suddenly grabbed my wrist: "Come with me! I have already prepared the transfer documents, we will go to another city..."

“Let go!”

I struggled with all my might, but his strength was incredibly strong. In the midst of the struggle, there was suddenly the sound of broken glass outside the window.

“Whoa!”

A basketball broke the glass door, flew inside, and accurately hit the back of Lo Vu's head. Lo Vu let out a miserable scream, held his head and fell to the ground. I looked out the window in horror. On the second floor sill, Ta Canh Hanh was leaning on the frame with one hand, gently jumping inside. The piece of glass cut the back of his hand, blood flowed in streams, but he didn't seem to feel any pain. He walked over, one foot stepping on Lo Vu's chest.

“I told you, stay away from her, didn't you hear?”

In Ta Canh Hanh's eyes was a red fire of anger and a rolling murderous intent. Lo Vu was in so much pain that he had trouble breathing, but still tried to keep his mouth shut: "Ta Canh Hanh, you dare to hit me... I will sue you..."

“Sue.”

Ta Canh Hanh squatted down and patted his face: "At the right time, I also want to settle accounts with you about slander and illegal detention." Having finished speaking, he stood up, took off his jacket covered in glass shards, and wrapped it around me.

“Dirty.”

You only said one word, but it made me burst into tears. Ta Canh Hanh held my hand and took me out of the art room. The hallway outside the door was filled with students coming to chat. He stopped, right in front of everyone, raised my hand high - ten fingers tightly clasped.

“Listen clearly to me.”

His voice was not loud, but echoed throughout the hallway.

"Ly Tang Tang is not mentally ill, she is just face blind. In the future, who will dare to make fun of this..."

His eyes scanned the crowd, everyone unconsciously lowered their heads.

“It's a confrontation with me – Ta Canh Hanh.”

After that day, Lo Vu withdrew from school. The forum post disappeared without a trace, replaced by the legend of Ta Canh Hanh breaking the window for me.
