Chapter 3 — The Cheater- Full

I felt my condition getting worse, so I quickly found an excuse to leave. Aunt Luc told Luc Xuyen Tich to see me off, but seeing that he had no intention of getting up, I immediately refused. As I left, I heard Aunt Luc scolding him. "Tieu Tich, Tieu Vi came to visit for so long, why didn't you talk to me?" "Mom, Tieu Vi is grown up, she can't be like before." I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled sadly, what was it like before? In school, he is a teacher, I am a student, and we are not in the same department, so I cannot openly find him. Normally, he leaves early and comes home late, our schedules are completely opposite. I don't know if he was intentionally avoiding me, or if the timing simply didn't match. The three of us are all at the same school. If we don't see each other today, we will see each other tomorrow. When I saw his warm eyes resting on Bach Nguyet Nguyet's body. When Bach Nguyet Nguyet cooed in front of everyone, he smiled back. When Bach Nguyet Nguyet wore the jacket I gave him, she walked around the bookshelves in the library. My broken heart cannot express my sadness. I was dominated by fear and boldly made a decision. It was this decision that pushed me and him to a dead end, with no way out. I carefully calculated that that day Dad and Aunt Luc would go to the cathedral in a neighboring city to pray, and then return the next day. I don't remember clearly when they started believing in Christianity. I ordered a set of lingerie online and hid in Luc Xuyen Tich's bedroom waiting for him to return. I want to give myself to you, I want to be completely with you. But what I received was not surprise and love, the look in his eyes when he lifted the blanket, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. Contempt, disgust, disbelief, disappointment, indignation... He blamed me for learning these dirty tricks, saying I looked like a flirtatious woman with no self-esteem. We had the most intense argument ever. It's hard to imagine that someone as gentle as Luc Xuyen Tich would one day argue to the point of blushing with a woman. That honored woman is me. I don't ask him to change his mind, that just makes me feel like my self-esteem has been trampled. I asked him directly: "Do you think I'm very dirty?" He didn't answer but asked again: "Do you think of me like that?" I said the old promise not to break up, are you talking nonsense when you eat too much? He talked a lot, why did he treat me like a sister, what did youth not understand, confuse companionship with love, what did the promise at that time only help me quickly escape pain and depression... I couldn't listen any more, directly slapped him, humiliated and ran home. I sat dumbfounded by the window all night, lost in a chaos of thoughts. I remember when I was a child, Luc Xuyen Tich loved to play with legos, but at that time legos were not cheap, the neighbor who moved house gave him a rare lego set, he gave it to me. He said he doesn't like to use things that have passed through someone else's hands, only things that are completely new from start to finish, truly belong to him. I remember a question and answer website, someone once asked a question like this: "Would you marry a girl who had been raped?" The views and interest were very high, but very few people responded, some even flatly said no. At that time, I still thought that Luc Xuyen Tich was definitely not that kind of person. After that, he also performed the responsibilities of a boyfriend, but I didn't expect to be quickly and painfully slapped by reality like this. I remember in high school, the teacher taught the lesson "Rain", asking students to answer which sentence was the most impressive, most people answered: "The girl in love..." Only I stood up.

said: "The days of playing together, laughing and having fun, promising to be faithful, not thinking about betraying..." Reminiscing about the joys of youth, smiles and vows. Why do you think that person will break his promise? Why did I find that sentence so painful as a child? Is that fate reminding me? In the quiet night, I sobbed. But no one comes to comfort me anymore. Fate didn't seem to want to stop playing with me and continued to play another joke. My father and Aunt Luc returned and confessed to me and Luc Xuyen Tich that, actually, since I was in my third year of university, they had secretly registered their marriage, planning to tell us that day, but they didn't expect that to happen... Yesterday, the parish priest told them, God had completely forgiven them. They saw that everything was good now, so they decided to speak out. Luc Xuyen Tich did not have any reaction from beginning to end. Does that mean you knew it from before? I just felt dizzy and spinning. Ha? So last night the person I wanted to seduce was my nominal brother? I couldn't stop vomiting, my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, I kept banging my head, and my body was convulsing non-stop. The room immediately became chaos. Before I lost consciousness, I saw Luc Xuyen Tich panicking and running towards me. “Vi Vi!” When I woke up, I smelled the familiar smell of hospital disinfectant. Luc Xuyen Tich sat next to him, his head resting on his hand and fell asleep. I quietly got out of bed, walked out barefoot. I don't know where I want to go, I just know that I want to leave there, leave the place that makes me feel suffocated. I took the elevator down to the parking lot, so I wouldn't be stopped by the nurse midway. In the parking lot, I walked around aimlessly, the light here was dim, and in the dark corner there seemed to be a devil lurking. Actually, I'm very afraid of the dark, especially cars without lights. I followed the green emergency exit light, and then got outside. Turns out it was already midnight and it was still raining heavily. I walked in the rain, my hair disheveled, wearing a hospital gown, I looked like a crazy person who had just escaped from a mental hospital. Apparently I'm scared to go out alone. I accidentally stepped on a sharp stone, causing sharp pain in the bottom of my foot. I fell into a mud puddle, my knee hurt. I stood up, sat motionless on the ground, surrounded by busy traffic, but everyone seemed to stay away from me. Cold and hungry, the rain splashed on my expressionless face. Soon my eyelids began to close and my head hurt like a hammer. A car stopped behind me, the front light bulb illuminated, reminding me that someone was approaching with an umbrella. The devil's face flashed before my eyes. Only then did I slowly feel fear, but I really didn't have the strength to run. I could only try to lift my eyelids and observe the person coming. He was a courteous and noble man, it was clearly a hot summer, but his shirt was buttoned to the last button, making his throat stand out, his hands were white, his chin was also very beautiful, up top he couldn't see clearly. He bent down, put the umbrella in my hand, and said: "Take it!" The commanding tone made me cringe, unable to control myself and obediently follow. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to pick me up. I took a step back. "Come here, don't be afraid, I'll take you home." Home? It's great to be home. I have my mother, father, and teddy bear at home. I sleep and all my troubles go away. "How did it turn out like this? It's a waste of my year's effort. If I don't get better soon, I will personally take action." I leaned my head on his chest, and said in a low voice of self-pity: "Can you stop scolding me?" He was stunned, then pushed me

got in the car, patted my head: "Okay, don't scold me anymore. Vi Vi, go get some sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up." I nodded, curled up and slept in the back seat. Hua Minh Trach hesitated, but finally took her home. When he drove past the hospital gate, he happened to see Luc Xuyen Tich angrily arguing with the security guard. He laughed coldly, pressed the accelerator, and the car sped away. Just like that, just a few steps away, Luc Xuyen Tich and Lang Vi passed each other. Hua Minh Trach wrapped her in a blanket and was about to carry her upstairs when she suddenly stirred, turned around in his arms, closed her eyes, crying and begging. "I don't want to go home, Mr. Hua, please let me stay for one night, just one night, I will pay." Seeing that she was still in a daze, Hua Minh Trach sighed: "If you believe me, of course I won't refuse." "I believe you, Mr. Hua, I will." pay you.” She hid her head in the blanket, as if that would make her feel safe. Upstairs. When the hot water was ready, she fell asleep again, curled up on the bed like a homeless stray dog. He gently woke her up: "Vi Vi, wake up, take a hot bath, otherwise you'll get sick." She opened her eyes in a daze, but crawled into his chest, muttering: "Dad, I'm so uncomfortable!" Hua Minh Trach didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he carried her into the bathtub. "Vi Vi, can I bathe myself?" She absentmindedly nodded and said weakly: "Thank you, Mr. Hua." Seeing that she still recognized him, Hua Minh Trach breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you take a shower first, I'll go get some clothes for you." Hua Minh Trach intended to take out her unworn clothes, but he thought this was a bit ambiguous, would evoke bad memories, and would increase her psychological burden. He took the car key and knocked on the bathroom door: "Vi Vi, in the cabinet under the sink there is a clean bathrobe, you can use it first, I'll go out for a moment, I'll be right back." There was no movement inside for a long time, so he knocked on the door again: "Vi Vi, did you hear what I said?" Accompanied by the sound of running water, her weak voice said: "Yes, Mr. Hua, you can go ahead, don't worry about me, thank you for letting me stay tonight, it's bothering you." "We're all classmates, just helping each other a little." He changed his shoes and called Hua Tieu Muoi, the other end of the line was very noisy, it seemed like she was staying up late playing games again. "Hua Dao Dao, are you playing games again? Next month cut in half. pocket money!" Ignoring the screams of her teammates, Hua Tieu Muoi quickly exited the game: "Oh, my dear brother, how can you be so cruel to your only sister?" Hua Minh Trach was too lazy to argue and said in an unhappy voice: "A new set of women's clothes, both inside and out, bring it to me tomorrow morning at seven o'clock." "Oh my god, which unfortunate girl is being bullied by you again..." "Next semester." Cut off all my pocket money!” “Oh, nooo!” Hua Tieu Muoi shouted and rummaged through the closet: “I'll bring it to my beloved brother now.” “No! Why are you running around so late at night? Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, don't oversleep.” Hanging up the phone, Hua Minh Trach felt better, he went to the pharmacy to buy his usual cold medicine, then went to the supermarket. In his cart, in addition to pink pajamas, there were also two panda-shaped night lights, a human-sized teddy bear, cartoon bed sheets, yellow duck-shaped slippers... Going back and forth a few times, he still took a set of women's underwear. He feels that the house's decoration is full of cold colors and minimalist style, which is probably not good for recovering from illness. It's very difficult to have someone in front of you, so how can you not take the opportunity?
