Chapter 8 — The whole capital is waiting for me to discover the truth

Then he took the small knife next to him, carefully peeled off the outer layer of the peach, cut it into small pieces before feeding it to the child. The child ate until his cheeks puffed up, his eyes curled happily and he smiled. Luc Thanh Ha raised his hand to wipe the peach juice from the corner of his son's mouth, helplessly smiled and said:

“Eat slowly, no one will compete with you.”

A light wind blew. Peach leaves rustle and move. Tong Tri Y hugged the child and sat under the tree. Looking at Luc Thanh Ha, who was bowing her head and patiently feeding her child peaches, suddenly lost consciousness for a long time. In her previous life, she thought that she could only live in a marriage full of lies and coldness for the rest of her life. But it turns out... There really is someone in this world who would run across three streets to buy roasted chestnuts with sugar for her. I will learn to stew a bowl of soup for her. I will remember that she likes lotus flowers. She will also hold her son under the peach tree in early summer, patiently cutting small pieces of peach, fearing the child will choke. Sunlight fell on Luc Thanh Ha's eyelashes. Tong Tri Y looked at him and suddenly burst out laughing. Also very gentle. Luckily in this life, she left. In this life, no one will bet on my marriage. There will also no longer be a winning bet like "I won't find out in my entire life". Because we have already discovered it. Also left. Late at night, the child was sleeping soundly, Luc Thanh Ha sat under the lamp reading a book. I leaned on his shoulder and dozed off. He gently put on my coat, his movements were extremely careful, as if he was afraid of waking up something very precious.

“When you saw that sign at the casino before, weren't you heartbroken?”

I slowly opened my eyes. He rarely asks about my past. Up until now, I have never asked about it, never investigated it, and never brought it up as gossip. Today he suddenly asked, probably because he read a certain passage under the light that made him emotional. I thought for a moment.

“It was really heartbreaking before.”

“What about now?”

“Not anymore.”

I gently rubbed my head on his shoulder, slowly closing my eyes:

“My current life is something that belongs only to me.”

“It's not something someone shared with me.”

“Not something others choose to leave behind.”

"It's you, a complete guy who belongs to me."

Luc Thanh Ha was silent for a moment. Then he bowed his head and gently placed a very gentle kiss on the top of my hair. Outside the window the moonlight is like water. The shadow of the peach tree is printed on the paper window, lush but quiet. He said softly:

“Tri Y, stay with me.”

“She is not a joke.”

“She is the only main part.”

“From beginning to end, there was only her.”
