Chapter 8 — My Thanh Mai

“If you were me, who would you like?” Nhiep Duat clenched his fist. “I can also treat you like him.” I smiled, as if I had just heard the funniest story in the world. “But why should I give up that guy to choose you?” Even Nhiep Duat couldn't find the reason. I laughed softly. "Look, you yourself can't think of the reason." He was extremely confused, and in the end he could only struggle to leave. But before leaving, he still spoke stiffly: "Do you want to use those words to make me give up?" "Impossible!" "There's nothing in this world, Nie Duat, I can't do!" For many days after that, I almost didn't see him. Every time a servant tells him to come looking for him, I just don't see him. I raise a lot of cats and dogs in the backyard. Besides treating illnesses, I often play with those cats and dogs. There was a cat that ran to Nhiep Duat's hospital. I went to look for him, but I just happened to be seen by him. He hugged the cat and said to me: "You like cats, I can raise a whole yard for you." I took the cat from him and replied: "There are many cats and dogs in the yard behind where you live." "Welcome to come and see." What he could think of, how could Manh Trieu Tham not think of it? Nie Duat said angrily: "Why is he always so considerate?!" "If you're not considerate to the person you like, should you be considerate to others?" I looked at him. "Someone who demeans and threatens the woman he loves like you is truly rare." He heard my sarcasm and was once again speechless. Trieu Tham wore a simple outfit and stood in front of the courtyard door calling me. I replied, standing up and walking towards him. "Where are you going?" "I'll find a carriage to take you there!" "He's wearing such simple clothes when he goes out with you, it's obvious that he doesn't have you in his heart at all." "Today is a good day, you should still let me take you." I took a deep breath. I don't pay attention to him. Trieu Tham spoke up and explained: "Today is the death anniversary of our parents, relatives and friends." "The national disaster has only passed eight years, does General Nhiep still not remember this day?" Nhiep Duat's face immediately turned pale. He turned around, wanting to explain something to me. I'm actually a bit angry. During the flood eight years ago, Liuzhou had more than ten thousand casualties. The First Emperor ordered today to be the day to commemorate the national disaster. "It's okay if you don't remember the other days." "But you really shouldn't say today is a good day." His throat moved slightly. In the end still said nothing. Me and Trieu Tham went up the mountain and placed offerings in front of the grave. On the way back, I heard a strange noise. Looking up, I saw some rocks rolling down from the mountainside. In a panic, Trieu Tham immediately rushed towards us. Another dark shadow also rushed forward at the same time. I just felt myself being hugged tightly, then rolling down the mountainside. When he stopped, there was blood all around. Trieu Tham's blood also includes Nhiep Duat's blood. I was extremely scared. I lay face down on Trieu Tham's body, crying and calling for him. Luckily, he gradually reacted. "Don't cry, I'm okay." I cried even harder. After crying for a long time, I remembered Nie Duat and turned around to look at him. I immediately met his eyes. His eyes were red. "In the end, I still can't compare to him." Niet Duat was taken to the general's palace. It wasn't until the next day that he arrived. At that time, I was still taking care of Trieu Tham. Niet Duat's arm was wrapped in a cloth bandage. This time, I saw it. I immediately stood up and thanked him. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, but couldn't smile. "I've done so many things, I still can't make you look at me once." "It seems I really can't compare to him." He asked me: "Is it true that even if I die,

Don't you care?" I shook my head. "I will pay attention." "I'm a doctor, I don't want to see anyone die." "Moreover, you're the youngest general in the North." He nodded, but there was no joy in his eyes. He just said: "I understand." "I did a lot of things wrong." "I wanted to make up for it, but realized that no matter how I made up for it, the result would still be the same." "In the end, I just understand, even my mistakes have never been placed in your heart, never noticed by you." He bowed his head and quietly left. Nie Duat took the initiative to ask the saint to guard the border. This time he went for five years and did not return. Every time he attended a banquet, His Majesty mentioned his marriage to the Queen. The Queen also had a headache. She said she had written many letters to him, but as for the marriage, he always avoided answering. Winter of the fifth year. year, Niet Duat finally returned to celebrate the new year. In the palace, a banquet was held, with royal relatives and martial arts officials present.
