Chapter 5 — The Rest Of Your Life Is Sweet

6 The elevator doors slowly slide to the sides.

"Who is Mrs. Huo! Who wants to receive guests!"

I felt like I was holding a hot potato and immediately stuffed the phone back into his jacket pocket.

"Quickly explain to the group! I'm still on probation, I can unilaterally cancel the contract at any time!"

Hoo Tranh used one hand to firmly hold the sleeping Niem Gia, while the other hand expertly entered the main door password.

"Ding" sound, the door lock opened.

He took advantage of the situation and hugged my shoulders, half pushing, half hugging me and brought me into the lobby.

"I can't explain. Old Liu has already bought a fruit basket for tomorrow, you can't force them to return the goods, can you?"

With a bang, the main door closed.

I was like a furry cat, immediately jumping out of his arms, intending to continue protesting. But just bowed my head. Hoac Tranh bent down and took out a pair of pink bunny slippers from the shoe cabinet, neatly placing them next to my feet. These sandals... are my favorite brand, even the size is not wrong at all. I suspiciously changed my slippers and went into the living room. Just took two steps. I was completely unable to move forward, my whole body felt like it was nailed to the spot. This… is this Hoac Tranh's house? The house of the legendary number one neurosurgeon, cold and heartless, with a serious cleanliness problem, is there only three colors black, white and gray in the house?! Middle of the living room. There was a giant pink-purple cloud-shaped sofa, filled with all kinds of stuffed animals. Next to the TV wall is a high-ceiling snack cabinet. Inside are neatly arranged rows of Vuong Tu milk, potato chips and spicy sticks. All of these were life-savers when I used to stay up late painting. I looked down the hallway inside. The best-lit south-facing balcony has been transformed into an extremely professional illustrator's work area. High-end drawing board screen, whole set of colored markers, ergonomic chair. These are all devices that have been in my shopping cart for half a year but I couldn't bear to buy them.

“These…”

I pointed at the pile of things, stammering.

“Didn't you say before that your dream was to have a pink and purple house?”

Hoo Tranh walked up behind me, his voice low and gentle.

“Over the past eight months, as long as I have free time, I will buy more little by little.”

He pushed open the guest room door. The inside has been renovated into an adorable pink children's room. Small crib, milk warmer, diaper changing table, and a cute giraffe-shaped height scale on the wall. My nose started to sting again. This man can always use small details to hit my heart like that. Impossible! Tran My Giai, must be resilient! These sugar-coated bullets absolutely cannot be easily defeated! While I was trying to find something to criticize, for example, "the color of the sofa is too rustic". Outside the main door, suddenly there was a "beep beep" sound of entering the password. Right after that, with a "click" sound, the door was pushed open again by someone outside! I was startled, thinking there was a thief. But look closely. My kind friend Lam Duu was carrying two cups of milk tea and proudly walked in.

“Lam Yu?!”

I rolled my eyes:

“How did you get in?!”

“Your doctor Hoac took my fingerprints a long time ago!”

Lam Duu changed his sandals and winked at me.

“Today When you leave the hospital and move house, of course I have to come and congratulate you on your housewarming! By the way, I'll help Dr. Hoac monitor you, to prevent a stubborn person like you from trying to run away."

As soon as she entered the door and saw Hoac Tranh, she immediately changed her face to a flattering expression.

“Hello Dr. Hoac! Doctor Hoac has worked hard! I'll put milk tea on the table!”

I rolled my eyes. This traitor turned around faster than flipping through a book. It turned out that the two of them had long secretly colluded! Lam Duu sat down on the cloud sofa and sighed comfortably.

“Oh, this chair is really soft. Doctor Hoac, this decoration is so great, it really grows straight in My Giai's heart!”

“Lam Yu!”

I rushed to glare at her:

“Which side are you on?”

“Of course it's your side!”

Lam Duu answered righteously. Then, she turned to Hoac Tranh and began to frantically sell out her teammates.

“Doctor Hoac, you don't know, she's missed you so much these past eight months!”

My heart immediately started pounding.

“Lam Yu, shut up!”

I rushed forward to cover her mouth. But it's late.

“Every day she hugs your photo and scolds you for being a bad person. She gets tired of scolding you and then cries again.”

Lam Duu spoke as fast as a machine gun.

“Under the pillow she also hid a button on my white blouse!”

“Every night before going to sleep, I have to touch it twice, like touching a talisman!”

The whole living room immediately fell into dead silence. I maintained my charging position, frozen in mid-air. Lose face. Completely lost face. I just want to buy a ticket to stand at night to leave this Earth. Hoac Tranh stood not far away. He had one hand in his pocket, his shoulders shaking slightly, clearly trying not to laugh.

“Oh?”

He prolonged the last word, his voice filled with teasing. Walking to the tea table, he picked up the old phone I had conveniently placed on the table. Light up the screen.
