Chapter 4 — The Noodle Shop Owner Opposite

I agreed and planned to find time to talk to my cousin later. It's probably not that stupid. Either way, I understand. When I was about to go down with Tham Vu Thu, she said she forgot to bring her phone and asked me to wait at the door of the building. After saying that, she immediately jumped into the elevator, not giving me time to react. But I know there's nothing serious about this couple, so I'm not in a hurry. As soon as I walked out the door of the building, I saw my stupid cousin waiting. He was holding a bouquet of tulips — the type that Tham Vu Thu liked best. “Sister, why hasn't Nhan Bao come down yet?” Tham Vu Thu's family members all call her "Nhan Nhan" and "Nhan Bao", so this stupid cousin sometimes calls her that too. “She forgot to bring her phone.” I stopped for a moment, intending to take the opportunity to teach this idiot a few words. "Honey, Vu Thu is actually not angry with you. But if you still don't understand her feelings, then this time is over. There are things, there are times, we shouldn't be too secretive." It nodded, but its eyes were still vague. “So whatever Nhan Bao tells me to do, I will do it!” As soon as the sentence ended, I saw Canh Tri coming from afar, his face still cold, walking straight towards my cousin. “Nam… Bao?” My cousin frowned, looking unhappy: "Who gave you permission to call her that? Only I can call her!" After saying that, he immediately glanced at me. Since we were kids and grew up together, I know he's jealous. Stupid is really stupid, but he truly loves Tham Vu Thu. I quickly coaxed: "Okay, I'm the only one who's called." The new cousin was satisfied, hugged the bouquet of flowers again, his eyes full of expectation: "I plan to give flowers to Nhan Bao when there is no one." "What? Afraid I'll ruin your good things?" Canh Tri suddenly spoke up, raised his head and looked at me, his eyes complex and unpredictable. My cousin didn't think anything and nodded: "Of course. What do you mean by my Nhan Bao?" This time, Canh Tri did not answer, just bent down to look at the tulip bouquet in his hand, then looked up at me: "Do you know that tulips are poisonous?" I nodded, he said again: "Should buy less... and receive less." This sentence is really... I don't have a boyfriend, who would give me flowers, let alone just a few flowers like this, left outside, is it poisonous enough to kill me? But after listening, my cousin fell into deep thought: "Tulips are poisonous and not good for Nhan Bao's health. It would be better if we could use something else to soothe them." It's finally a little brighter! I immediately continued: "If you want to comfort your daughter, sometimes you don't need to use gifts." My cousin was immediately excited: "What do you say?" I pointed at his abs: "Or... I let someone try to touch his abs, maybe the other person will be happy right away?" The cousin was a bit hesitant: "Is that enough?" I nodded vigorously: "Of course, abs are a treasure, no girl can resist it." It's the same with me. It's just a pity that Canh Tri is so stingy, he only lets me touch him twice a week. Just thinking that, Canh Tri suddenly spoke: "Lam Chi Nam, my dad asked if you wanted to go to the restaurant to eat noodles this afternoon. He also specially added two eggs and a chicken thigh..." "Go, now go!" I immediately pulled Canh Tri towards the gate of the area, he did not dodge and obediently let me lead him. As for that stupid cousin... I made it clear just now, if he still doesn't understand... then he'll just stay like that until he's old! 7 Go to the restaurant noodles, Canh Tri's father warmly welcomed me and immediately went to the kitchen to cook noodles for me. Canh Tri was still as usual, sitting opposite, holding a book and reading very attentively. Sometimes I complain to myself, my attraction to him is even worse than that of a book - what an abject failure. Luckily, his father made the food very quickly. Before he could feel sad for long, the bowl of noodles was brought out. I haven't gotten tired of eating it for three months straight, it's really delicious. I bent down and ate several large bites at once, completely unaware that Canh Tri had put down his book and was staring at me with complicated eyes. “Lin Chi Nam—” “What's wrong?” The rare time I eat noodles without bothering you, are you not used to it? This perverted thought made me a little excited, but I knew it was impossible. Canh Tri tapped his fingers on the table, then I hesitantly raised my head from the bowl of noodles. I just saw him looking at me and seriously asking: "Hua Ky Bac... will it be successful?" Success in what? Successfully coaxed his little girlfriend back? I nodded without hesitation. He lowered his eyes, his voice suddenly softened, no emotion could be heard: "Are you sure?" I put down my chopsticks and seriously analyzed: "You know Hua Ky Bac's face, he's quite handsome. He's also an athlete, his figure is amazing. I guess I just need to touch his abs a few times and it'll be over." After all, Tham Vu Thu and I are both "boy lovers". Canh Tri quietly pondered: "So that means... he can succeed just by touching his abs?" I nodded again. In my heart I was secretly exclaiming, if just by touching Canh Tri's abs, he and I could become a couple, then I would like to touch them ten... no, a hundred times every day! While thinking, Canh Tri suddenly stood up and walked towards me. One hand lifted up my shirt, the other grabbed my left hand, pressing it directly against my abs. Oh my, after a week of separation, this feeling comes back again, making my heart flutter. I couldn't help but give it two more squeezes. Oh my god, I'm so in love! If only he would let me try a few bites, it would be even better. While I was still floating with wild thoughts, Canh Tri continued to ask: "So if someone else also lets her touch her abs, Hua Ky Bac won't be successful anymore, right?" I still have a lot of faith in my cousin, so while touching his abs, I analyzed: "No, he will definitely succeed. Their relationship is inherently good, touching his abs is just an appetizer. When feelings rise, this and that... all the problems will disappear." The knot in Tham Vu Thu's heart was just fear that something was wrong with my cousin. As long as it's okay, this deeply in love couple will definitely quickly walk down the aisle holding hands. So, my cousin will definitely succeed! As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, he immediately pushed my hand away. That's right, it's thrown out. The feeling of touching the abdominal muscles this time was too short... If only I could do it again, it would be great. I sighed, then sadly picked up my chopsticks, sadly picked up a few more chopsticks of noodles and put them in my mouth. To be honest, recently Uncle Canh's noodle making skills have improved a lot, so delicious that... I forgot all about my sadness. Because I was so absorbed in eating, I couldn't clearly hear what Canh Tri had just said. It seemed like he was asking: "Does it have to be like that?" I nodded, he smiled slightly, then said nothing more. I whipped the remaining noodles into my mouth. After eating, even though I still wanted to stay and look at the handsome guy, I was worried about him right now It's more about my cousin's life. If he really messes up, I'm afraid my uncle and aunt will cry and knock down the whole wall of our house. So, after eating, paying, I prepared to go home. Before leaving, Canh Tri suddenly chased after me, stopped in front of me, and seriously said: "Okay, wait for me." Wait what? I didn't understand, so I just smiled, nodded, said "Okay", then walked and looked back three times before arriving home. 8 The truth proves that my cousin is still a "teachable child". That day it rushed straight onto the highway. The distance between the two was finally eliminated, and the two happily discussed getting married. When I stopped by the noodle shop to look for him, I saw him smiling innocently, just like the type of person who is deeply in love, even though he has been in love for many years, he is still... hopeless. Today, Canh Tri also seemed free, as if he was walking nearby, walked for a while and then entered my cousin's noodle shop. At that time, my cousin was talking to me: "Sister, Nhan Bao and I are about to get married." I was just about to congratulate when Canh Tri walked in, frowned and asked: "What is 'about to happen'?" The idiot had just gotten along with his girlfriend, so seeing everyone happy, he immediately replied: "Of course he's about to become my Nhan Bao." After speaking, he became awkward again, and finally put his face on the table, covered his face with both hands, and smiled stupidly. I really don't dare look at this appearance. Canh Tri's expression remained unchanged, only saying: "If you're not married, everything can change, there are many surprises. What if she later meets someone better and leaves you?" This sentence is like hitting a barrel of gunpowder. My cousin immediately stood up, put his hands on his hips, and seriously replied: "Canh Tri, what nonsense are you talking about? Is meeting someone better than leaving me? I'm very good! Nhan Bao even praised me with his mouth!" God, men in love are truly unbearable to look at. I covered my face, bowed my head and shook it. That's why I didn't see Canh Tri's broken face at that time. All I know is that when I looked up again, he had already left.
