Chapter 3 — The Ten Year Lie

But now, those evidences are like a deliberately arranged path. "You don't recognize the face." I asked softly. "What about the red rain boots?" Luc Tram Chu's pupils shrank. The day Tue Tue encountered trouble, she wore red rain boots. Dao Niem Tu wears yellow rain boots. That year I asked once at the police station. Luc Tram Chu said sadly, the water was so turbid, he could only see a small hand. After that, no one dared to ask again. "The rain boots were swept away by the water." He answered very quickly. Too fast. To Hoai Nghien immediately caught this point. "How did you know it was swept away?" Luc Tram Chu's throat moved slightly. "Then the search and rescue team picked it up." "Where?" The room suddenly fell silent. I slowly turned my head and looked towards Tue Tue's room. Those red rain boots ten years ago were placed in a transparent box under her bed. There were no rain boots among the recovered relics. Luc Tram Chu also realized he said the wrong thing. His face was ashen. "You remember wrong." To Hoai Nghien rushed forward and grabbed his collar. "What have you been hiding?" Luc Tram Chu did not fight back. He just looked at me. There was that pleading look in my eyes again. "Van Khe." "Don't force me." My phone vibrated. A strange message appeared. "If you want to know why he saved Niem Tu that year, go to the shoe repair counter at the old dike at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, don't take Luc Tram Chu with you." The screen lit up between the three people. When Luc Tram Chu saw the content, the last bit of blood on his face disappeared. The next second, he reached out to steal my phone. 4. To Hoai Nghien is faster than him. The phone was stuffed into my pocket, he raised his elbow to stop Luc Tram Chu. The two of them bumped into the tea table in the living room, the glass cup fell all over the ground. Luc Tram Chu gasped. "That's a scammer." "It's been ten years, any kind of person wants to use this to scam money." I looked at him. "You haven't asked what the message said." He stiffened. To Hoai Nghien laughed coldly. "If you're so guilty, why are you still pretending?" Luc Tram Chu closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, his eyes were full of blood. "Van Khe, I'm just afraid that you'll be hurt by someone." "Over the years, my health hasn't been good, I can't stand any more excitement." As soon as this sentence was said, I suddenly found it ridiculous. My health is not good because after Tue Tue passed away, I had constant insomnia. He stuck the dagger into my heart, then advised me not to bleed. "Tomorrow I will leave." Luc Tram Chu's voice was low. "Don't go." To Hoai Nghien stood in front of me. "On what basis do you not allow it?" "Based on the fact that I am her husband." "Very soon it won't be anymore." Luc Tram Chu suddenly looked at me. "You want a divorce?" I took out the divorce agreement that had been pressed in a drawer for ten years. The paper is yellow, the corners are curled up. That year after I finished writing, I hid in the kitchen and cried all night. The next day, seeing Luc Tram Chu kneeling beside Tue Tue's bed, his forehead bruised, I stuffed it back into the drawer. Taking it out now is like digging up an old bone from the grave. Luc Tram Chu reached out to take it. I walked away. "Sign." He stared at those papers, his eyes turned from surprise to hurt. "To Van Khe, husband and wife for ten years, will you use a piece of paper to chase me away?" "I gave you ten years." My voice was so calm that it was not like myself. "You used ten years to deceive me." Luc Tram Chu suddenly laughed. When he smiles, he is still beautiful, with delicate features, exactly like ten years ago when he first saved a drowning child by the swimming pool. At that time, I was fooled by this face. He was soaked all over, carrying the child to shore. People around him applauded, but he only asked me if I had a towel. Gentle, brave, calm. After that, he pursued me, not remembering my face but remembering my scarf, bag, and shoes. He said, Van Khe, it's not that I don't recognize you, I'm just using a method

another to remember you. I believed. So confident that after his daughter died, I still helped him patch up all the loopholes. "I won't sign." Luc Tram Chu said word by word. "Unless you die." To Hoai Nghien snorted. "Stop using this to scare people." Luc Tram Chu didn't even look at him, just stared at me. "You can't leave me." "I don't dare enter Tue's room." Tue, on the anniversary of my death, I don't dare to go to the riverbank, at night there will be thunder and lightning, I will tremble." "In all these years, have you not held me to endure?" The softest wound in my heart was torn open by him in front of everyone, my face was hot. To Hoai Nghien said angrily: "Luc Tram Chu, are you still human?" Luc Tram Chu finally lost control. "I'm not human!" "But I've suffered by her side for ten years!" "Do you know what it feels like every day when I open my eyes to see her?" "Her eyes looked at me as if I had killed Tue Tue myself!" At that moment, in the living room there was only the sound of her gasping for breath. you. I raised my head to look at him. "Isn't that right?" The bottom of Luc Tram Chu's eyes suddenly shattered. At this moment, the doorbell rang. One hour. Another sound. To Hoai Nghien went to open the door. Outside is the security guard and two neighbors.
