Chapter 3 — Youth Returns to You

I asked: "Is the cake to make up for you, or is it the leftovers she ate?" Luc Tri's eyebrow twitched: "Why are you talking so hard to hear?" "Hard to hear?" I raised my wrist, took off the dolphin bracelet, and placed it in his palm. The silver chain was very light, falling down made Luc Tri's hand tremble. "Give me back." His face finally changed. "On Nam Chi, what do you mean?" Hua Niem Niem saw the bracelet and his face also turned a little pale. She unconsciously retracted her hand into her sleeve. The homeroom teacher pushed open the door and walked in, often encountering this scene. The atmosphere was as awkward as a spilled bowl of soup. The teacher looked at us and said in a low voice: "The graduation party is not the place to argue." Luc Tri squeezed the bracelet in his hand, forcing his anger down. "Okay, let's eat first." He pulled out the chair next to him, as if I was sure I would go there. Tham Nghien Chu placed a stack of printed wish documents on the empty space. "Nam Chi, over here." The two positions were half a separate room. Everyone's eyes fell on me. If it were before, I would definitely pay Luc Tri's face, sit next to him, and wait until there was no one to silently grieve. But the air conditioner blew on my free wrist, making it cold. I walked towards Tham Nghien Chu's table. Behind him, there was the sound of a glass hitting the table. Luc Tri coldly opened his mouth: "On Nam Chi, sitting over there is easy, coming back will not be so easy." My steps stopped for half a second. The next second, the chair was pulled out by Tham Nghien Chu. I sat down and opened the application document. Hua Niem Niem suddenly bowed her head and cried. "Brother Tri, is it because of me that Chi Chi doesn't need you anymore? Or should I go." Luc Tri stuffed the bracelet into his pocket, turned around to support her shoulder. "What should I go? The person who should go is not me." As soon as this sentence fell, someone in the room sucked in a breath. The homeroom teacher frowned: "Luc Tri." He looked at me with red eyes: "On Nam Chi, I'll ask you one last time, will you come here?" The edges of the paper were pressed into folds by me. Tham Nghien Chu next to him said in a low voice: "No need to be afraid." Luc Tri heard this and laughed coldly: "Tham Nghien Chu, why are you pretending to be a good person? Is it so glorious to take advantage of muddy waters?" Tham Nghien Chu raised his head: "More glorious than leaving someone at the rest stop." The spoon on the table was knocked down by Hua Niem Niem. She bent down to pick it up, and her whole body suddenly fell into Luc Tri's arms. Luc Tri reflexively hugged her, raised his head and still glared at me. "See? She can't stand still, you have to force me to come in at this time." The homeroom teacher finally patted the table: "That's enough!" Hua Niem Niem was so scared that she trembled and her tears became even fiercer. She choked up and said: "Miss, don't blame Tri, I'm so useless. If Chi Chi is unhappy, I can change my college aspirations and not compete with him anymore." I suddenly raised my head. The homeroom teacher's expression changed: "What are you painting?" Hua Niem Niem seemed to have missed a word and covered her mouth in panic. Luc Tri immediately blocked her: "Nothing." The teacher looked at me: "Nam Chi, have you ever changed your wish?" Luc Tri quickly said: "She wants to go to another province, I advise her to stay in the city, it's not safe for a girl to go that far." Having finished speaking, he stared at me, his voice carrying a warning: "Besides, Niem Niem also needs someone to take care of him." The chatter in the private room immediately exploded. I looked at him and suddenly laughed a little. Turns out they had already assigned seats for my life early on. The passenger seat was given to Hua Niem Niem. Birthday is given to Hua Niem Niem. Even the university had to give way to Hua Niem Niem. The homeroom teacher put the wish documents on the table and lowered his voice: "On Nam Chi, follow me out." When I stood up, Luc Tri held my wrist tightly with one hand. He used a voice that only the two of us could hear

saw said: "You dare to make a big deal of it, let's break up." The light fell into the bottom of his eyes, so cold that it was not even half joking. I lowered my head to look at his clenched hand, my other hand slowly reached into my school bag, touching the signed confirmation of wishes. One bulb of the hallway light is broken. The light alternated between morning and evening falling on Luc Tri's face, his hand still holding me tight. The homeroom teacher stood two steps away, his voice pressing very low: "Luc Tri, let go." He didn't move. "Teacher, this is a matter between me and Nam Chi." The homeroom teacher burst out laughing: "Is her wish also your matter?" Luc Tri's lips pursed tightly. Hua Niem Niem rushed out of the private room, put on his shirt, her thin shoulders trembling. "Miss, it's all a misunderstanding. Mr. Tri is just afraid that Chi Chi will go to another province alone with no one to take care of him. He's been stubborn since he was young, refusing to talk about many things." She said gently, every word was looking for a reason for Luc Tri. The homeroom teacher looked at me: "Nam Chi, you said it yourself." The strength of Luc Tri's hand became heavier. Wrist hurts to the point of numbness. He stared at me, his eyes full of certainty. He thought that like countless times before, I would swallow my self-pity and help him reconcile. The door to the private room was slightly open, and the classmates inside all stuck their heads out. There is curiosity, there is curiosity, there is also disapproval.
