Chapter 7 — The Snowy Night Leaving the Co's House

Hua Tri Ha's voice was very calm. "Because I don't want to receive your messages anymore." He was stunned. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you really not need the Co family anymore?" Hua Tri Ha said: "The Co family treats me very well, I will remember." Co Yen Tu asked: "What about me?" The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds. "You?" She seemed to be thinking seriously. "Forget it." 8Nam Thanh is much warmer than North Thanh. On the first day of moving into a new house, outside the balcony there was a very large camphor tree. The wind blew, the leaves rustled and shook. I stood in the living room, looking at the house that belonged to me, suddenly feeling a bit unreal. This place is not big, but every inch has my name written on it. You can keep spicy hot pot in the refrigerator. You can arbitrarily throw pillows on the sofa. Shoe cabinets do not need to be arranged by color. Drinking cups do not need to be rinsed with hot water three times a day. For the first time I felt, it turns out life can be so gentle. After school started, I got to know my new roommate and also got to know my new teacher. Tran Da took the entrance exam to the sports school in Nam Thanh and would sometimes come to me to eat. Every time he was very reasonable, only asking if I ate grilled food, not asking about my past. I really like this feeling of keeping a moderate distance. A month later, Co Yen Tu arrived. That day I had just finished school, holding a cup of milk tea in my hand. In front of the school gate was parked a familiar black car. Co Yen Tu stood next to the car, wearing a clean white shirt, her face much more haggard than before. Seeing me, he immediately walked over. "Hua Tri Ha." I stopped walking. He looked at the cup of milk tea in my hand, his eyebrows habitually frowned. But quickly pressed back. "Drinking just a little of this, it's not good for your health." I laughed. "Did you come to Nam Thanh just to control what I drink?" Co Yen Tu's face turned pale. "I didn't mean that." Tran Da chased after him, saw him and stopped walking. "Tri Ha, who is this person?" Co Yen Tu's eyes immediately turned cold. I said: "Someone I've known before." Someone I've known before. These words are like a knife stabbing into Co Yen Tu's chest. He looked at me, his voice lowered. "Let's talk." I thought. "Let's talk here." Co Yen Tu looked at the flow of people passing by. In the past, he hated being surrounded by others watching the most. But this time, he didn't get angry. "Lam Nguyet and I are not together." I nodded. "Oh." "That day I said she was my girlfriend, intentionally to provoke you." "Oh." "I made it clear to her." "Oh." Finally, Co Yen Tu couldn't help it. "Hua Tri Ha, can you not be like that?" I asked: "How?" His eyes turned red. "Don't look at me like I'm looking at a stranger." I kept quiet. silence for a moment. "Co Yen Tu, we weren't that close." He felt like someone had slapped him hard. "We grew up together." "That's right." I said: "Growing up together doesn't mean you can constantly hurt me." Co Yen Tu quickly said: "I don't want to hurt you. I just... I thought you wouldn't leave." I looked at him. This statement is more sincere than an apology. It's not that he didn't know I would be hurt. He just thought that even if I was in pain, I wouldn't leave. Co Yen Tu took out the necklace from his pocket. "Don't take this with you." I said: "No need anymore." "Tri Ha." His voice trembled slightly. "I can change." This is the first time I heard him talk in this tone. Low to the ground, struggling and panicking. If it had been a little earlier, maybe I would have softened. But now, I just feel strange. I said: "Co Yen Tu, don't you like to be clean?" He was stunned. I continued to say: "Before, when I walked for two hours in the snow, you criticized me for dirtying the car." "In the cafeteria, you held my hand."

I'm in pain, your first reaction is to wipe your hands." "I've lived in the Co family for nine years, you think that if I eat your family's money and use your family's money, I have to listen to you." "Now you say you can change, so I ask you, are you going to change your cleanliness, or change the selfishness that is deeply ingrained in your bones?" Co Yen Tu's face turned pale. "I..." You can't answer. I changed the cup of milk tea to my other hand. "You returned." Go." He suddenly reached out, wanting to pull me back. This time, I avoided. Co Yen Tu's hand stiffened in mid-air. I looked at his hand, calmly said: "Don't touch me." His eyes immediately broke. "Didn't you always want me to touch you before?" I smiled. "My eyes weren't good before." Co Yen Tu's throat moved, her voice was hoarse to the point of not being normal. "And now?" I looked at him, saying every word. One: "Now I feel dirty." The wind blew from the school gate. Co Yen Tu stood there, her whole body seemed to be drained of strength. I stopped looking at him. Tran Da walked next to me and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?" I shook my head. "It's okay." I walked into the school, the sunlight falling on the road ahead.
