Chapter 2 — My Childish Husband

3 I lay on the bed, opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling, waiting until midnight but still didn't see Luc Kinh Bach sneak back. This was the first time — the first time they were clearly in the same house, yet they slept in separate beds. Moreover, in such a situation, I took the initiative. I thought about it and still couldn't understand it. If it were said that the accident left him with a brain injury... but when he met his friends and acquaintances, he would all recognize it. So the only way to think is the worst. Luc Kinh Bach doesn't want to sleep with me, is it because... the "seven year itch" has come? In fact, my husband and I have been married for just seven years. We only loved each other for half a year, then considered it a "quick wedding", to the point of not having a wedding, just inviting relatives and friends for a meal as compensation. Seven years have passed, normally people's feelings will gradually fade, but before the accident, Luc Kinh Bach was no different from when he first fell in love - he was always wrapped around me, not changing at all. But now you don't want to sleep together? Tonight I rarely lose sleep, I have an indescribable feeling of frustration in my heart. The next morning, I woke up very early, intending to pull Luc Kinh Bach up from the sofa to talk frankly. I don't want feelings to stay vague and fade away like that. However, there was no sign of him - on the table there was only hot breakfast and a note: 【Eat, I have something to do, go first.】 I squeezed the paper tightly and crumpled it up. Gritting his teeth: "Luc Kinh Bach, just wait!" At first I wanted to throw away breakfast, but thinking about not wasting food, I ate it all. Absolutely not because this is something Luc Kinh Bach worked hard to buy. Even though I couldn't sleep last night, I still have to go to work during the day. Rushing back from another place, work piled up that needed me to handle. By evening, I was so tired that I couldn't open my eyes. After work, I patted my face to wake myself up, then called Luc Kinh Bach. It took him a long time to pick up the phone. “Sister… is there anything wrong?” Hearing that unfamiliar voice, a bad premonition immediately arose in my heart: "Come pick me up, I have something to tell you." Luc Kinh Bach hesitated for a moment: "Are... have the people at your house returned yet? It might not be convenient for me to come over." I was exhausted at this point, my mind was slow to react, combined with being provoked by him like that, my chest became even more frustrated. “Luc Kinh Bach, do you think I'm joking?” – I said in a more serious voice than ever before. "Sorry sister... I'll be back tomorrow. I'll stay at your place tonight." “…” I was about to say something but the call screen was disconnected. Luc Kinh Bach! Just wait for me! He doesn't have many friends, just a few people around. I texted and asked them all in turn. They didn't dare hide it, saying that Luc Kinh Bach was drunk... still crying. “…” Hearing that, my heart softened again. Loving someone is like that - always soft-hearted. No matter what the result is, I want to ask clearly. Even if he really has someone else in his heart, I still have to end it properly. Thinking so, I drove to his friend's house. Without telling anyone in advance, I pushed the door open and walked in. The living room was full of wine bottles lying around. I frowned, went straight to his friend's bedroom door, I thought I would see an unimaginable scene... but instead I heard Luc Kinh Bach slumped on the table sobbing: "What should I do now! Sister?" He's with someone else! What should I do..." My eyebrows furrowed even tighter — what? Have I ever been with someone else? His friend looked extremely surprised: "Luc Kinh Bach! Don't talk nonsense! Who knows how well Kieu Nhan treats you - both attracting investment for you and solving difficulties for you." “If it were me, I could call her dad too.” “Shut up! What do you know? I'm just her 'boyfriend', I can't show it off!" Tears welled up in Luc Kinh Bach's eyes. Hearing these words, I realized how dissatisfied he was with me. Could it be… you hate what I gave you? But those things... were all given to me when I first got married. At that time, he was young, didn't know much, just wanted to start a business, wanted to prove to me that he could give me a good life. I couldn't bear to see him at an age where he should be in college but still busy making a living, so I secretly helped him. Later, when he was discovered by him, Luc Kinh Bach said very seriously: "Kieu Nhan, I want to be a man you can rely on, solid and unshakable, not a younger brother hiding under your protective wings." From then on, I won't help you anymore. Luc Kinh Bach is very determined, going from nothing to opening three companies. 4 His friend gave some advice, saying he must have misunderstood. But Luc Kinh Bach still cried non-stop. I walked in directly, twisted his ear, and said coldly: "Come home with me." As soon as Luc Kinh Bach saw me, he was half awake from his drunken state, staring blankly, his voice mixed with self-pity and a bit of joy: "I'm not an important person... why did you personally come to pick me up..." I rolled my eyes, my patience finally ran out, turned to his friend: "Please help me carry him to the car." His friend quickly nodded and smiled flatteringly: "Luc Kinh Bach is too much, why did he leave home overnight?" On the road, I thought and thought but could not guess that there was any suspicious character next to Luc Kinh Bach. Even if you have a change of heart, you still have to leave some traces. Normally, Luc Kinh Bach wants to tell me after eating a meal or going to the bathroom, let alone when someone of the opposite sex appears next to him. I sighed softly, hoping I was just thinking too much, that it was all because his self-esteem was too high, and he was upset that I helped him too much, making him feel like a "boy". When I got home, I turned around to see Luc Kinh Bach sitting in the car, drunk. “Tieu Bach, you're home.” But he held the car door tightly: "I won't go in... I'm scared." I rubbed my tired temples and took a deep breath: "What are you afraid of?" Luc Kinh Bach looked at me with red eyes, there was an emotion in those eyes that made my heart ache. Damn it, I can't stand this look from you. “What's the point? Tell me. If we don't talk, how can we solve it? – I tried to stay calm. But Luc Kinh Bach pretended to say something and then stopped, almost choking me to death. I was about to open my mouth to scold him, but he... fell asleep. “…” I was almost angered to death by him. Unable to think of the reason for these unusual behaviors, I had to open his phone to look it up. I know all of your passwords, even the facial recognition is mine. Luc Kinh Bach still clutched his sleeve me, so I decided to sit down next to him to check. I want to see what's wrong with you. First, I searched through all my contacts. I know each and every one of them, know how they met, what their relationship is like - Luc Kinh Bach previously reported them all to me. Therefore, the fact that he went from a person who was always attached to tangerines to become strangely distant like now... this distance makes me extremely uncomfortable. Not finding anything unusual in the contacts, I opened the photo album again. Inside are all photos of me — when I sleep, when I eat, when I watch movies. My heart suddenly softened and I glanced at Luc Kinh Bach suspiciously. People say that if you change your mind, the image of the other person will lessen, but here there are not only a few, but also a lot. I scrolled through thousands of photos, and finally saw a student card - my high school student card, taken in 12th grade. Back then, this card was changed once a year, I remember it very clearly. I was a bit stunned - did Luc Kinh Bach have anything to do with me at that time? Suppressing complicated emotions, I continued to check other apps. Unexpectedly, I saw in the "Notes" section a recently written line: 【What to do now! As soon as I woke up, I discovered that I had changed from 17 years old to 27 years old, and I was still with my senior sister - my pure love - but she was the third child who interfered in that person's marriage, it would collapse……】 At this moment, I was dumbfounded, my mind was full of question marks.
