Chapter 1 — The Snowy Night Leaving the Co's House

In the middle of heavy snow, my hands were so cold that they turned red, preparing to open the car door. Co Yen Tu immediately pushed me aside. "Can't you walk home by yourself? Lam Nguyet has a twisted leg, my car can't be dirty, I have to let her lie in the back seat." Co Yen Tu has a serious cleanliness problem. From childhood to adulthood, he didn't even want to touch me. But today, not only did he personally carry the new transfer student, but also because she chased me off the bus. I didn't object, just silently closed the car door and backed away
onto the side of the road. After all, I'm just an orphan girl living at the Co family's house, having just received five million and a large apartment in the city center from Mr. Co. Next month, I will go to another city to study at university. As for the driver's seat and your love, I don't want it anymore. The moment the car door closes, the warmth is also separated from inside. I stood in the snow, my fingers stiff, almost losing all feeling. Lam Nguyet lay in the back seat, her eyes were red, her voice was as soft as steamed sticky rice cake. "Yen Tu, please
Isn't that good? Is Tri Ha angry?" Co Yen Tu didn't look at me. He bowed his head and gently helped Lam Nguyet tuck in her skirt. "She won't be angry." When I heard that, I burst out laughing. Indeed, he understood me very well. During the years I was at the Co family, the thing I was best at was not knowing how to get angry. When I was young, my parents passed away in a car accident, and Mr. Co took me to the Co family's house. He told the outside world that I was your descendant. old, temporarily living in the Co family's house, but everyone up and down in the Co family knows that I am just one
The entangled child has nowhere to go. Co Yen Tu is one year older than me. The first time he saw me, he wore white gloves, stood on the stairs, frowned and asked the housekeeper: "Has her body been disinfected?" That year I was nine years old, holding an old school bag, so tense that my toes almost punctured the soles of my shoes. The butler smiled conciliatoryly: "Master, Miss Hua just finished bathing." Co Yen Tu still took half a step back. "Then don't come close to me." Later I realized, he didn't mean to aim at me. Proof
His cleanliness is very serious. If you touch something that someone else has touched, you will have to wash your hands. If strangers come close, you will be upset. Even if you have a water stain on your clothes, you will have to change them. The Co family invited many doctors, but the results were not great. The strange thing is that he hates other people entering his life, but he accepts me to arrange his things for him. Your uniform must be hung separately by color. Books must be sterilized before putting them in bags. Drinking cups must be rinsed with hot water every day
three times. I remember everything. Eat thanks to beans. Anyway, you have to find some value for yourself. Co Yen Tu both enjoyed my care and was sure that I liked him. One time he threw a box of disinfectant tissues on my desk and coldly said, "Don't think that if you hang around me every day, I will like you." At that time, I was labeling the sentences he did wrong. Hearing this sentence, I almost put a label on my forehead. No, brother. If I don't revolve around you, then who will I revolve around? Maybe run?
circle around the gate of the Co family's house to get kicked out? But I don't explain. Co Yen Tu does not like others to refute her. He just likes others to follow him, especially me. So, over the years, I've gotten used to it. He let me sit in the passenger seat not because he was close, but because the back seat put his spare clothes and didn't allow others to touch them. He let me go to and from school with him not because he cared, but because he couldn't stand the driver suddenly changing the route, I had to help him.
Confirm each road is clean or not. He asked me to bring him breakfast not because he liked the food I made, but because he only ate dishes that I divided in the right grams. Before, I felt like that was pretty good. At least I'm special. Until Lam Nguyet moved in. All of Gu Yen Tu's rules crumbled in front of her in an extremely solemn manner. The first day Lam Nguyet went to school, she accidentally spilled milk tea on his sleeve. I was so scared that I immediately went to get wet tissues. Conclude
Co Yen Tu looked at her panicked face and just said: "It's okay." The next day, Lam Nguyet gave him the candy she had already eaten half. I thought Co Yen Tu's face would immediately fall. Unexpectedly, he accepted it. Even though he didn't eat, he accepted. At that moment, my heart was extremely quiet. Like frozen winter water, no matter how hard it hits, it doesn't make a sound. Today is even more outrageous. Lam Nguyet twisted her leg on the steps. Co Yen Tu bent down and picked her up right in front of the whole class. Hand
he touched her ankles, touched her back, even let her lean on his chest. The surrounding classmates were all crazy. "Oh my god, doesn't Co Yen Tu have a cleanliness problem?" "Didn't he have to wipe even the pen his desk mate gave him?" "Is this an exception reserved for only one person in the legend?" I stood at the back of the crowd, still holding the warmer I just bought for him in my hand. Suddenly it feels very meaningless. In the car, Co Yen Tu finally raised her head
look at me. Snow fell on my hair, melted into cold water, and ran down my neck and down my shirt. He frowned. I thought he was going to say "Get in the car". As a result, he said again: "Hua Tri Ha, don't look at Lam Nguyet with those eyes. She didn't mean it." Lam Nguyet said in a low voice: "Yen Tu, I'm okay. Or should I sit up so Tri Ha can get in the car too?" Co Yen Tu's voice became even colder: "Your leg is swollen like this, don't try to endure it." Then, he said to the driver: "Drive." The taillights quickly disappeared into the curtain.
snow. I stood on the side of the road, slowly stuffing my frozen hands into my pockets. Inside there is a set of keys. Mr. Co just gave it to me this morning. On the key chain there is a small piece of paper with the house number of the apartment in the city center. The snow is getting bigger and bigger. I lowered my head to look at the keys and suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud. Good news. I was kicked out of the car. Bad news. Looks like I'm home. 2 When I walked back to the Co family's house, it was already half past nine in the evening. The shoes and socks were all wet, the soles of the feet
cold to the point of numbness. The maid saw me and was startled. "Miss Tri Ha, why are you walking home? Isn't the master coming to pick you up?" Just as I was about to speak, Co Yen Tu's impatient voice came from the living room. "Hua Tri Ha, do you still know the way home?" He sat on the sofa, had changed his coat, his hair had just been washed, and his whole body was clean and tidy. Lam Nguyet sat next to him, her ankle wrapped in gauze, holding a cup of hot milk in her hand. I bowed my head and looked at myself. The cotton shirt was half wet, the pant legs were covered in mud
The ground looked like it had just returned from rolling in the snow. Very good. The opposition has been stretched to the extreme. Co Yen Tu saw my struggling appearance, his eyebrows frowned even more. "Don't you know how to call a car?" I said: "The phone is so cold that it's dead." "Then find a store to borrow the phone." "The stores on the street are all closed." He was silent for two seconds and then said again: "You always have a reason." I didn't answer. Lam Nguyet quickly put down the cup, her eyes red. "Tri Ha, sorry, it's all my fault. My leg hurt at that time."
So, Yen Tu just let me lie in the back seat." I nodded. "Yes, I hope you get well soon." Lam Nguyet was stunned. Co Yen Tu's face darkened again. "What tone did you say?" I kindly reminded: "A normal blessing tone." He smiled coldly: "Sarcasm." I was too lazy to argue, turned around to go upstairs to change clothes. Co Yen Tu suddenly called me back. "Wait." I turned around. He threw a sheet of paper. list on the tea table. "List of hosts for the school celebration, please withdraw your name." I looked at the list.
Next week our school held a pre-graduation celebration, the original hosts were decided to be me and another male student. This opportunity is quite important. Lecturers from Nancheng University will also come. Previously, my homeroom teacher also told me to prepare well, saying this was considered my last public appearance before leaving school. I asked: "Why?" Co Yen Tu looked at Lam Nguyet. "Lam Nguyet just moved here, doesn't have many friends. Previously she used to host a program at
old school. Letting her go on stage this time will help her integrate into the new environment." I almost burst out laughing. There are many ways to integrate into the new environment. For example, proactively talking to classmates, for example, studying hard, for example, not stealing the position that has been decided by others. But Co Yen Tu's logic is always very simple. Lam Nguyet needs it. So I have to yield. I said: "The teacher has decided." Co Yen Tu's voice was full of dignity. suddenly: “I'll tell the teacher.” “So just say it straight
okay, why are you still asking me?" His face immediately became ugly. "Hua Tri Ha, when you talk to me now, do you have to be so sarcastic?" I looked at him and suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. Before in school, someone laughed at me for being a little servant of the Co family, saying I followed behind Co Yen Tu every day, like a free maid. That day Co Yen Tu heard it. He did not take action, nor did he scold him. instead of me, he just stood next to me, slowly wiping each finger
hand, said to the other person: "She is not something you can touch." The other person was so scared that his face turned pale. And because of that sentence, I secretly had fun for a long time. Now that I think back, it was true that my brain was soaked. Objects. He said it very accurately. In his eyes, I have never been a human being. Just an item raised by the Co family, convenient and easy to use. I pushed the list back. "Okay, I withdraw." Co Yen Tu was stunned. Maybe he didn't expect me to agree so quickly. Before, I would be sad, would question, and wait
he explained. Today I don't want anymore. Because I received money from Mr. Co. Five million, including the whole house. Such treatment is already very good. As a person, you must have the spirit of keeping the contract. Co Yen Tu stared at me, her eyes somewhat complicated. "You really agree?" I said: "Yes." Lam Nguyet immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Tri Ha, thank you, you are very kind." I smiled. "Nothing." Anyway, I will leave next month. The host stage allows anyone to stand. Co Yen Tu suddenly stood up and walked in front of me. Above
His body smelled faintly of disinfectant, extremely familiar. He lowered his eyes and looked at me, lowering his voice. "Hua Tri Ha, are you still angry about what happened in the car?" I shook my head. "No." "If not, why don't you make a fuss?" I was stunned. What kind of new question is this? Making noise is not right, not making noise is also not right. Co Yen Tu stared at me, as if wanting to see some self-pity on my face. But I'm so tired. The snow stuck to my feet, so cold that my bones ached.
I just want to take a shower and go to sleep. So I said very seriously: "Co Yen Tu, I'm really not angry." His eyes became even darker. "That's best." I walked around him and went upstairs.
