Chapter 6 — The Fateful Flight Ends

He also thought carefully about which corner of the house to place it and what shelf to use to display it. That seashell - perhaps something he accidentally left behind when he used to live in my house. Between Lam Man and me, his instincts made the choice. Only then did I truly see through Ky Ngon Xuyen - his obsession with Lam Man... was much deeper than I thought. To be human, you must know how to pick it up, but also know how to let it go. In everything in life, don't let yourself consume yourself - live according to nature. That's what my parents always taught me from childhood to adulthood. I'm so tired of this never-ending "online game", and I have no intention of playing the role of savior in this play anymore. It's time to let go. I also have my own "white moon light" to pursue. After completing the project handover at the company, I submitted my resignation. Besides, I am also ready to go back to school and complete the interrupted study program over the past 4 years. Ky Ngon Xuyen did not ask anything about my resignation. We fell into a cold war — no, a total loss of contact. I completed the re-enrollment documents and let the lawyer prepare the divorce papers. I sent the divorce agreement to Ky's company several times, but Ky Man stopped me. The reason she gave was that she had recently gone to see feng shui. The teacher said that these months were not suitable for divorce - told me to wait a little longer. … Never mind. Wait until I go abroad and authorize a lawyer to complete the procedures. Two years of separation is an automatic divorce.10Back in Paris, many classmates and old friends came to me to chat and catch up. At the alumni meeting at my old school, I happened to meet Lam Man. Our eyes met, she proactively walked closer. She sat down next to me, asked the bartender to make two glasses of Pina Colada (Coconut and Pineapple). The fatty, cool taste of coconut milk spreads in the mouth, fresh pineapple juice dances on the tip of the tongue, combined with white rum - all blend together, spreading from the throat to the nose, leaving a strangely pleasant aftertaste. Outside, the rain was still falling lightly. The ceiling fan above my head rotates gently, the cool wind blows pleasantly across my face. I recognize in Lam Man a very familiar temperament. We had just met and were like old friends. Compared to high school, she hasn't changed much in appearance. But compared to her old mischievousness, she now has the temperament of a gentle and mature mother. The makeup on her face is not to hide anything, but to enhance her experience and charm. Hearing the sound of rain falling, feeling the cool breeze, taking a sip of Pina Colada — I feel like I'm enjoying a vacation in a tropical forest. "When I studied abroad here in the past, I also really liked this dish." Lam Man leaned back against the bar, raised her glass and took a sip. "It seems our tastes are quite similar." Then, she pointed towards the door: "Someone is looking for you." She patted my shoulder, then I gently pulled her back, whispering a few words in her ear. Lam Man laughed softly, then raised his glass of wine and left, joining another party table. Ky Ngon Xuyen walked in. He took off his jacket and wiped his hair, which was soaked from the rain. Amid everyone's curious and searching eyes, he slowly walked towards me. Just like a lost stray dog — no home, no place to return. That look... I recognized it. I've seen it before. But I shouldn't have let it get stuck in my heart.
