Chapter 5 — Canceling the Kiss Under the Peach Tree

Looking at her hastily brushing off the relationship, I suddenly burst out laughing. It's not that she doesn't know his true face. She just didn't know that Tiet Do also painted her in those dirty paintings. The words that scolded me for being stupid, said I was useless, laughed at me for being too sentimental, she answered every sentence clearly, smiling more happily than anyone. She is not innocent. She was just scared. "If you don't know his true face, don't you know who I am? Help a foreign man you just met."
The few times you lied about your sister, was it because you were deceived? "Tham Lan didn't dare look at me. She bowed her head. "I threw away all those papers." "But I didn't throw them away. You can throw away the paper, but you can't erase the words you've said, nor the things you've done." 10The next day, Tiet Do stood waiting outside the door. The maid asked if I had seen him. I said no. The third day, he came again. The fourth day, the fifth day... He stood from early morning until sunset, and the gatekeeper did not chase him away several times.
bear it. Finally, one time when I left the city to offer incense, just as the carriage turned into the alley, he suddenly rushed out from behind a tree, spreading his arms to block the road. I slowly opened the car curtain, lowered my eyes and looked down. His eyes were red. "Are you satisfied with this outcome? I was kicked out of the library, I had no money to buy books, no money to take exams, my friends refused to pay attention to me, Tham Lan also resented me. My reputation after studying hard for twenty years was ruined in just one day! Tham Thanh, now you are satisfied.
yet?” “That's your own business.” “Let's talk properly. I can definitely pass the exam. At that time, she will be the poinsettia's wife, and the Tham family will also be proud. We..." I smiled softly. "The glory of the Tham family is not yet your turn to win." Tiet Do was silent. Then he bowed his head. "Tham Thanh, I was wrong, really wrong. What must I do to make her forgive me?" "Where did I go wrong?" "I shouldn't have mocked you." "What else?" "I shouldn't have given you the heart you wrote to me."
Look at Tham Lan. "I shook my head. "If this is your attitude of admitting your mistakes, then you can go away." Tiet Do clenched his fists. "Tham Thanh, don't pressure me too much." "Dare to use me to show off your feeling of superiority, why don't you dare admit it?" "I don't have it!" "You do." After a long while, he bowed his head. "My family background is not as good as yours, so it's inevitable that I'll feel uncomfortable in my heart. I just want to prove that I'm not relying on you, we're equal." "But the truth is that you're climbing high." I interrupted.
"Go away. What I want is not a light apology, but you have to pay the price." 11Tiet Do still did not give up. Countless pieces of peach blossom paper were brought into my room. "The Tay Son peach blossoms have withered, but the branches and leaves are luxuriant. Looking at it alone is lonely." "The flower cake in the west city is very delicious. In the past, you always bought it for me, but now I know I have to wait in line for so long." "I have completely broken off with Tham Lan. In the future, I will not do things that hurt you anymore." "Today I found a lot of old things. Come."
Only now did I know that she had given me so many things in the past." "I really regret it." The fragrance on the paper was still the same as before. But when I saw it, I just felt funny. I picked up the pen and ink, only responded a few words on each piece of paper, then sent someone to return it intact. "The flowers have withered, the person has also withered, so unsightly." "Seeing you makes me nauseous." "Go away." Three months later, Huong's exam results were announced. Tiet Do's name was not on the board. He returned gray, standing in front of the door loudly cursing, saying I was quiet
hinder and destroy his future. While scolding, a figure rushed out from the door. A whip hit Tiet Do directly in the face. It's Tham Lan. The story she once discussed with Tiet Do about her eldest sister had somehow been spread out. Everyone said she couldn't tolerate other people, and even the wedding in the capital was canceled. She originally thought that it was okay to escape to Jiangnan to cause trouble, anyway, no one would know when she returned to the capital. It wasn't until the annulment letter was thrown right in her face that she realized everything was over
out of control. Because of this, my mother called me to kneel in the Buddha hall. Previously, Tham Lan asked for help from her mother, not without reason. From a young age, she grew up next to her mother. Even if I make mistakes now. Mother still wants to protect her. But we spread the news out. At this point, it's too late to want to protect me. "You said my sister was cruel, but now I see that you are no less than her. Is this something you spread to the outside?" I straightened my back. "The difference between revenge and initiative
harming people, there's no need for you to explain to your mother." "Are you talking to me like that?" "I'm just telling the truth. She has done it on the first day, you can also do it on the full moon day. It's okay for biological sisters, it's okay for cousins. There's no reason for you to suffer resentment for no reason, but also to help her hide her reputation." Mother looked at me for a long time. Finally, she suppressed her anger, waved her sleeves and left.
