Chapter 3 — Love Starts With A Glass Of Soy Milk

Not gaining any advantage from me, Luc Tuyet angrily left. Before leaving, he angrily said: "Just wait." That night, I understood what her 'you wait' meant. They organized a club gathering again, and deliberately asked Tan Du to bring me along. A few male students started arguing: "Trinh Thu has always been like a dog clinging to Tan Du, but now he has suddenly become a human, it looks so strange." I'm not average, I smiled brightly and replied: "Is that so? It's normal. Actually, looking at you guys, I also find it strange. Anyway, where I live, pigs are usually not allowed on the table." 12 The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Luc Tuyet quickly put out the fire and told everyone to eat and drink quickly. After that, she began to constantly pick up food for Tan Du. But Tan Du has a bad habit, which is never eating food given to him by others... So I had to help him with tears. Um... so delicious. A moment later, they asked to play "Honest or Risky" again. Tan Du had the bad luck to draw "honestly". Luc Tuyet immediately enthusiastically asked: "Tan Du, are you serious with Trinh Thu? Or are you just playing for fun?" Tan Du leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes a bit uncomfortable: "Is there something wrong with your brain to ask that question?" Luc Tuyet's face turned red, but she still gritted her teeth and continued asking: "Last month, also here, you said you only considered Trinh Thu as a nanny, do you like her now?" "What about the nanny? I'm not supposed to like the nanny?" Another male student spoke up: "So tell me, what do you like about Trinh Thu?" Tan Du looked at me for a moment, then said: "Beautiful, good temperament, smart, good cook... Is that enough? Need me to say a few more points?" My face became hot, red to the tips of my ears. Suddenly, why are you praising me all of a sudden... It's too embarrassing! 13 A few days later, Tan Du moved into his apartment and took me with him. From the outside, it looks like you're living a sweet life with your girlfriend. Actually, it's just so someone can wake up at six in the morning to cook breakfast for him! To get back at me for trying to fix prices in recent days, he even ordered eight salty dishes and one soup! Oh my god, I had to stay up since 5:30 a.m. to prepare! What a cold-blooded capitalist! …But I like it. The reason is simple - eight dishes in one soup, if he can't eat it all, won't it all end up in my stomach? So I went to the supermarket, picked out a bunch of imported ingredients, each of which was the most expensive. Anyway, the ingredients are refundable! The next day, Tan Du ate and drank extremely satisfied. But who would have thought... Tan Du's mother would suddenly come to the house! The aunt's eyes widened as she looked at the dining table filled with delicious dishes. Look at me again, wearing an apron, holding a pan in my hand. “Tan Du… is this how you treat your girlfriend?” I quickly put down the pan and explained: "Uncle, I volunteered! I really like cooking!" But my aunt still severely criticized Tan Du's lavish lifestyle: "There are three maids at home for me and your three children, and breakfast is not as sumptuous as yours today..." I was secretly proud in my heart. What does this prove? Proving my working ability = 3 people in the same industry combined! 14 Tan Du's mother earnestly invited me to stay at her house for two days. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I followed him home. Not only that, he also thoughtfully arranged for me to sleep in Tan Du's room. Ah... this... I was extremely reasonable and immediately started spreading the blanket on the ground. Of course I was lying on the ground, how could I let my noble boss lie on the floor? Tan Du looked at my movements that were as skillful as flowing water, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. “Boss, do you want to say something?” He opened the next door: "I want to say... my room is a mini apartment, there is an additional small room inside, you don't have to lie on the ground." I looked at the white blanket under my butt, my face a bit embarrassed: "Boss, I accidentally got this blanket dirty... let me change the cover." In the middle of the night, Tan Du suddenly said he had a sore throat and wanted to drink snow pear soup. As an exemplary employee, I immediately jumped up and rushed into the kitchen. I cut the snow pear very large, added cypress, snow mushrooms, goji berries, and rock sugar, then simmered for half an hour. I ladled the soup into a small bowl, turned around and prepared to bring it upstairs to Tan Du, when I looked up and saw... Tan Du's mother. “Son… it's midnight and you're still up to cook for him?” I hastily explained: "He's coughing a bit, so I'll just cook some pear soup." His mother looked at me with tears in her eyes, holding my hand tightly as if she was about to cry: "You can't love in such a vile way... The more you sacrifice, the more it gains momentum... What if you get nothing in the end?" I got it, uncle, I got a precious remuneration! I also held his hand, my eyes were red: "Uncle, I don't care about those things... As long as Tan Du is good, that's enough..." The next morning, Tan Du's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, staring at me: "Trinh Thu, what kind of spell did you give my parents!?" "This morning they woke me up early, lectured me for two hours, told me not to play with your feelings!? Explain clearly, what feelings do you have for me?" “Then tell me, how did I play with your feelings!?” 15 In recent days, Tan Du has been so angry that he doesn't want to eat breakfast. Good thing, what else? I slept in for three days without waking up early. Near noon, he called me and asked me to help him pack his luggage. A wave of panic rose in my heart: "Boss, I haven't cooked breakfast for three days... are you planning to fire me?" Tan Du: "Huh? Trinh Thu, do you think I fired you and then asked you to pack my luggage for me? Is this house yours? Should I carry my luggage and get the hell out of your house?" “Ah ah ah… sorry…” It's good not to be fired! I hung up the phone and started packing his luggage. A few seconds later, Tan Du sent several text messages in succession: "Going camping, remember to bring me two thick coats." “Bring some common medicines, then go buy some snacks later.” “You go too.” I looked at the last line, the corner of my mouth twitching. Is this... a sudden business trip order? Upon arrival, I realized: the camping conditions were extremely harsh, and I also had to sleep in the same tent as my boss. Tan Du leaned close to my ear and whispered: "This month's bonus is 20,000." I immediately rushed out like an arrow, "three moves and five moves" to set up the tent! I stood at the tent door waving at him: "Boss, come here quickly! Come in quickly!" But... why do I always feel like something is wrong? 16 The mountain wind at night is a bit cold. My coat wasn't thick enough, and I was shivering in the cold. Tan Du took off his windbreaker and put it on me, gently scolding: "Didn't I tell you to bring a thicker shirt?" I laughed: "Boss, when will I be able to go back to sleep? I'm so sleepy I want to die." He pursed his lips: "Wait a little longer." Waiting, waiting, I don't know what I'm waiting for. At that moment: “BOOM—” A giant firework exploded right before my eyes. Then came the second and third flowers... Fireworks covered the night sky, sparkling among the mountains and forests. I felt like I saw a million stars exploding at the same time. “Oh my god, someone is setting off fireworks! It's so beautiful! I don't know who's stupid enough to have a lot of money, we're in for a treat hahahahaha!” Tan Du smiled slightly: "I burned it." "Huh?" I was stunned. "Boss, I don't mean to criticize you for being stupid... but why are you suddenly setting off fireworks?" Tan Du suddenly pulled out a rose like magic. “Trinh Thu, will you be my girlfriend?” Behind them are fireworks flying brightly, in front of them is a rose in the morning dew. My brain seemed to freeze, unable to process information in time. “Boss… this isn't you… really confessing your feelings, is it?” “But what else?”{Read full version at Nguyet Hoa Cac page} “But boss, I think… the current job…” “The salary is still the same.” “Then… it shouldn't be a problem.” Tan Du sighed, stuffed the flowers into my pocket, then hugged my head and kissed me down. 17 Since becoming Tan Du's girlfriend, I have become even more devoted. When we go out traveling together, whenever I see something delicious, I immediately find a way to learn how to make it and then cook it for him to eat. Watching movies together, seeing any romantic scene, I will remember it, then surprise him. Tan Du said helplessly: "Why are you like a spinning top, don't you want to rest a bit?" The TV was showing a bloody love story, and I was holding a towel to wipe the table. I smiled: "I can't take a break, after all I'm still receiving money." Tan Du hesitated a bit: "So... what if I don't pay anymore in the future?" I immediately threw the towel away. Tan Du continued: "Tinh Pham's engagement ceremony is in a few days, we have to go there." “Who?” “Tu Tinh Pham.” I remember now - I was the one who was arranged to marry him. I was curious about something: “Huh? Who is she engaged to?” “With a cousin of mine.”
