Chapter 6 — The Snowy Night Leaving the Co's House

The car window was rolled up. I don't cry. I just suddenly felt that the snow in Bac Thanh had stopped falling. Co Yen Tu felt that Hua Tri Ha was pretending. Since childhood, she has been very good at pretending. It's obvious that you like him, but keep speaking loudly. Clearly cares for him, but always acts like it's okay. This time too. She said that when she moved, she would only stay in a hotel for two days at most. She said she wouldn't come back, at most she would just wait for him to send a text message. She will definitely return on her own. After all, she had lived in the Co family's house for nine years. She has no other home. Thinking of this, the panic in Co Yen Tu's heart was suppressed. He took Lam Nguyet out to eat, ordering a full table of food. Lam Nguyet was very happy and continuously took photos. But Co Yen Tu has no taste. The smell in the hot pot restaurant is very strong. Before, he absolutely would not come to a place like this. But now he's sitting here, but he doesn't leave immediately. Lam Nguyet picked up a piece of beef into his bowl. "Yen Tu, try this, it's very tender." Co Yen Tu looked at the piece of meat covered in red oil, a feeling of discomfort rose in her stomach. He remembered Hua Tri Ha. The lunch box she prepares for him is always clean, the portions are just enough, even the carrots are cut into sizes that he can accept. Co Yen Tu angrily put down his chopsticks. Lam Nguyet realized his mood and carefully asked: "Are you still thinking about Tri Ha?" "No." He answered very quickly. So fast that it seemed like he was refuting himself. After eating, he posted a post on his personal page. In the photo, Lam Nguyet holds up two fingers in front of the camera, he sits next to him with a cold expression. The caption had only one sentence. "New beginning." After posting, he opened the conversation pinned at the top. Hua Tri Ha did not send a message. Co Yen Tu looked at the screen and smiled coldly. Quite patient. The next day, Hua Tri Ha had no news. The third day, still nothing. Finally, Co Yen Tu couldn't bear it anymore and sent her a sentence: "If you've made enough trouble, go back." The message failed. When the red exclamation mark appeared, his mind went blank for a moment. He sent another sentence. Still failed. Co Yen Tu suddenly stood up, the chair was pulled over, making a deafening noise. Lam Nguyet was startled. "Yen Tu, what's wrong with you?" Co Yen Tu ignored her and immediately called Hua Tri Ha. The phone is turned off. He called the Co family's landline again. The maid answered the phone. "Master?" Co Yen Tu's voice became tense. "Has Hua Tri Ha returned yet?" The maid was silent for a few seconds. "Yesterday Miss Tri Ha cleaned the room." Co Yen Tu's fingers holding the phone suddenly tightened. "What do you mean by cleaning the room?" "That's... all her things have been moved." Co Yen Tu hung up the phone, even her coat. I didn't take it either, so I drove back to the Co family's house. He rushed into Hua Tri Ha's room. The room was extremely clean. Bed sheets have been replaced. The desk is empty. In the wardrobe there are only a few old coat hangers left. She really left. Not angry. Not intentionally backing away so he could chase. It's about truly removing yourself from your life cleanly. Co Yen Tu stood in the middle of the room, her heart as if someone had violently twisted it. He pulled out the desk drawer and saw a box of paper inside. In the box were all the things he had given her. White gloves, cleaning instructions, disinfectant spray, lunch box. There's also the necklace he gave you, even the packaging hasn't been removed. At the bottom is a notebook. Co Yen Tu opened it. The first page reads: "Recording the expenses of the Co family." From the age of nine to the age of eighteen. Tuition, clothing, living expenses, medicine. She recorded every account. The last page reads: “Not for now

Can't pay, but will pay. Except for Co Yen Tu, he is not on the list of creditors." Co Yen Tu stared at that line, suddenly breathless. Not on the list of creditors. Because she never felt like she owed him. Outside the door came Mr. Co's voice. "Are you done?" Co Yen Tu suddenly turned his head. "Where did she go?" Mr. Co leaned on his cane, his face calm. "Nam Thanh." "Who gave her permission?" go?" "Grandpa." Co Yen Tu's eyes immediately turned red. "What do you rely on?" Old man Co laughed coldly. "Based on her willingness." Co Yen Tu didn't believe it. "She can't volunteer! She has liked you since childhood, how could she bear to leave?" Grandfather Co looked at him, his eyes filled with disappointment. "Yen Tu, do you still feel like she's putting on a show for you now that she left you?" Co Yen Tu's throat choked. Grandfather Co took out his phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, the phone was connected. Hua Tri Ha's voice came, gentle and calm. "Grandpa." Co Yen Tu immediately picked it up. took the phone. "Hua Tri Ha, come back immediately." The other end of the line was silent for a moment. Then she said: "Co Yen Tu?" Co Yen Tu gritted her teeth. "You blocked me?" "Yes." She admitted too quickly. Co Yen Tu's chest became suffocated. "Why did you block me?"
