Chapter 5 — My Neighbor Cheated On Me For 10 Years

"I didn't come home because Tu Tu drank too much and kept calling me asking me to take care of him. For convenience, I slept in the drawing room nearby. The drawing room has a camera, you can see if you don't believe it."

He opened his phone and showed me the location. Seeing that I didn't want to look, he impatiently pressed the phone in front of my face:

"Nhu Nhu, look! I really went back to the drawing room that day!"

I pushed the phone away and patiently answered:

"Co Uyen, I already told you, I don't want to know anything related to you anymore. There's nothing left between us."

“It's between us or not, I can't decide it alone.”

“Like Like…”

He suddenly got excited, grabbed my shoulder, causing me pain:

"Co Uyen, let go! Otherwise I'll call someone over!"

From the moment I walked in, a waiter always paid attention to us. Seeing that, he immediately stepped forward and pulled Co Uyen's hand away:

“Sir, please stay calm. Otherwise we will have to call the police.”

“Let go.”

The staff still held Co Uyen tightly, not letting him get close to me. Seeing me about to leave, Co Uyen suddenly punched the employee in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. Luckily at that moment, someone else rushed over to hold him tight.

"Co Uyen, if you don't go, I will report to the police. You don't want to have a criminal record, do you?"

"Nhu Nhu, I know you're still angry so you don't want to see me. It's okay, I can wait. When you're not angry, I'll come back to find you."

“Take him away for me.”

Everyone saw that Co Uyen was no longer causing trouble, so they let him leave.

I took the waiter to the hospital, after all, he was injured because of me. Just after telling the story to the doctor, he suddenly asked:

"You are Linh Nhu Nhu, grade 3, grade 12, right?"

I was a bit confused, but still nodded honestly:

“Yes, in high school I was in class 12A3.”

“It's me, Tu Muc!”

The doctor excitedly pulled down his mask. I remember – my deskmate from high school. Haven't seen him for a long time, now he has become much calmer and more mature. Wearing a white blouse makes you even more attractive. We were deskmates for three years. In 12th grade, I met Co Uyen and was attracted by his appearance and talent, so I chose to enter the same school as him. From then on, Tu Muc and I no longer had contact.

"We used to be very close friends, but as soon as I entered college, I disappeared. What about my boyfriend?"

“We broke up.”

“Have you broken up?”

Tu Muc's eyes sparkled with joy.

“Doctor, can you two talk later? My face still hurts.”

The employee reprimanded in a low voice, making Tu Muc feel embarrassed and hastily pulled his mask back and started checking.

"It's okay. When you go home, remember to take anti-inflammatory medicine and apply medicine and you'll be fine."

"Nhu Nhu, long time no see, let's make friends again. If you have anything to ask, just text me."

“Doctor, shouldn't you make friends with me first?”

The service staff deliberately glared, unwilling to be abandoned. Tu Muc smiled shyly:

"Make friends with her first, then it will be your turn. Nhu Nhu, some old friends are still talking about organizing a class reunion, let's go together then."

Anyway, I decided to return to my hometown to work, and knowing a few more people was like opening another business road. Seeing that there were still a few patients waiting outside, I had to take out my phone to make friends with him:

“Okay, see you next time.”

After taking the staff to pay the hospital bill, I took the medicine for him. I also gave you a compensation. His face turned red and he kept saying no. I told you not to be polite, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered this:

"Take it, rest for a few days. Consider it like a few days of missed work pay."

At this point, he shyly accepted it. At that moment, my phone alerted me to a text message — it was Tu Muc sending some instructions about medicine. I read it and passed it back to the employee. He confusedly showed me his medical record:

“Here, the doctor wrote it all down here, right?”

I was so embarrassed that I could only laugh it off.

Since contacting Tu Muc again, we talk regularly. At first, he often used the excuse of asking about the patient's condition to text, then as he became more familiar, he switched to chatting about all sorts of things. Back then we were already compatible, so now we became closer quickly. If I hadn't met Co Uyen that year, perhaps the person I'm with now is Tu Muc. That day, Tu Muc invited me out, saying that some of my classmates heard about my return and wanted to gather for a bit. I think this time because I just came back, I proactively wanted to invite everyone to a meal to show my sincerity. But Tu Muc said he already had someone, so there was no need to compete for their share, I'll invite him next time. We arranged to have dinner at a restaurant in a luxury hotel.
