Chapter Vll

In the evening, there was a small family meal, many guests, all familiar for generations, came to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.

Kam Thu did not expect Ji Nam Phuong to come too, he brought his mother, and as soon as he saw her, he was happy: "Oh, Kam This little girl is getting bigger and prettier."

He said, "Hello, Aunt Tran." then also called: "Hello, Mr. Ba."

Then, while the elder was talking, he casually slipped away. Ky Nam Phuong also followed him out, he was a little angry, suddenly turning around: "What are you following me for?"

His gesture when angry was very interesting, like when he argued with him when he was young, he argued and lost, but it was really rude. He had to laugh: "In a few days, can I invite you to dinner, can I have an abalone?"

With just that one sentence, he released his heart. It seemed like he was really drunk that day, so it was a moment of confusion. Forget it, considering how many years of brotherly friendship he forgave her.

He immediately said happily: "No, you can invite guests to eat something but abalone, I'm tired of hearing it, I want to eat hot pot Nghi Mong."

This food has not been eaten, because at the end of the year, the TV station is very busy, everyone hates that they do not have enough three heads and six arms, Kam Kam is a trainee, Kam is a trainee, but he worked very hard, but did not do well, even the homeroom teacher looked at him with different eyes, so that the corresponding job tasks also increased gradually. But Ky Nam Phuong had been hiding from time to time before, Thu Thu had not seen him for a while, immediately forgetting this.

These days, there's a program, the whole group of columns is so busy that they're dizzy, almost 8 p.m. and still haven't eaten. The work was nearing its final stage, and Duong Duong and his nest were lying down tiredly: "Oh my God, this is almost done, I am so hungry that I hallucinated. here it is."

Thu Thu felt nothing, listened to him utter this sentence, his stomach convulsing with a dull pain. It was true that he was hungry, he was also a little hallucinating, the air seemed to really smell like cake. Two people looked at each other in confusion, suddenly hearing someone knocking on the door, the door was not closed, turned to look, it turned out to be a security guard.

Holding a box of very large cakes to enter, the handsome security guard said with a smile: "The cookie shop that was sent to me, by the rules, I can't get in, so I'm helping you, I'm helping you, Miss Diep, it's out today.This is your birthday, happy birthday to you!"

The first Tangtang shouted loudly, Shou Shou also froze: "I.forgot." Tangtang said: "Really, you can even forget about it yourself!" In fact, people in the family used to use the lunar calendar as her birthday, so she herself forgot her own sun birthday.

Duong Duong received the cake, Thu Thu smiled and said to his comrades: "Come on! Let's eat cake!"

"God, Xiao Diep's birthday today didn't speak a word."

“Cheese Cake by Kempinski, oh, the person who ordered the cake was really hearty!”

Hi hi ha ha become crowded, everyone quit their jobs, surround Kam Kam, help him light a candle, let him make a request. Some colleagues turned off the lights, the candlelight was a bit pink, dancing around, reflecting Thu Thu's face. Kam Thu suddenly felt a little sad, probably because of this situation, which he seemed to have experienced.

Only Dich Truong Ninh celebrated his birthday according to the calendar calendar with him, last year on the same day, Dich Truong Ninh was busy working overtime, he called him, he said "oh" a voice: "I forgot."

The last time she forgot her birthday, she said timidly, "Or, next time you will also forget my birthday."

He glanced to the side: "I will never forget your birthday."

As a result, she completely forgot, she was depressed for about a day, until she returned to the dormitory, she saw a large bunch of blue-purple water lilies, including birthday cakes. It turned out that he was just joking with her, he had not forgotten.

The entire dorm room looked at the bouquet of water lilies sent through the air and sniffed, implying: "This man is very romantic! Other people are so normal that they give roses, she gives water lilies."

Thu Hi Vien saw the cake and drooled: "It's all ice cream, it will melt if you don't eat it right away!"

Quan Ha waved his hand and helped Thu Thu say, "Let's eat! Let's eat! Speed up!"

Everyone laughed happily, finished burning the candle to the Kam Thu Agreement.

What do you want at that time?

Translate Truong Ninh, I hope you will be happy forever.

Foolish, there is no such thing as forever, happiness is just fireworks in the night sky, in the blink of so much change, blooming beautifully, blinding, blinking and disappearing, not being able to see it again.

Dich Truong Ninh gave her a flower for the first time, which was also a lotus flower.

That day, he invited her to eat a fish hotpot, the next day, Dich Truong Ninh called her again, asked her to eat, she said: "You guys haven't come back yet."

"I know," he said. Stop for a moment and say, "Actually, there's something I want to tell you, let's meet and talk."

Kam Thu felt very strange, not knowing what was going on, so he arrived at the meeting place on time, as a result, he gave her a bouquet of water lilies.

She's comfortable "ah" soft, happy and scared. The lotus flower seemed to be still drenched in cold dew drops from the ponds and lakes, only barely open, there were also vine-red lotus buds interspersed, green leaves spreading out as you wish, but the palms were large and small, as if grasping a little sweet and tender Summer.

It was not that she had never received flowers before, when she was abroad, a male friend gave her a large bouquet of sunflowers, bright yellow in color, so bright that it hurt her eyes. After returning to the Motherland, there is also a rose, 99 flowers, normal to irresistible, unfortunately seen by Diep Than Khoan, who is also known for her roses, teasingly saying that the Diep family had a flower-seller girl in bloom.

But no one ever gave her a lotus flower.

There was a hint of excitement in my heart, like the wind that had just moved, the frog on the lotus leaf jumped into the lake, splashing a small wave.

He liked it a lot, looked at it for a while, and said: "This flower is not the same as the one bought in the store."

There was no wrapping paper, no pretty leaves stuck together, just a few layers of lotus leaves, such careless wreaths, seemed to be cut by hand, making him think of a large enameled pot, summer in the garden in the shade of a quiet tree, the green hyacinth floats, but he is very young, on his tiptoes, seeing his grandfather feeding the fish. One or two red fish, calmly sketching out black pearls like water, are a bit of cool memories from childhood.

He said: “This is not a store-bought flower, I have a lake in my yard, planted with lotus, today it only blooms a little, I picked it up early in the morning, then left it at the office, I just got it, sprinkle half of it. with water.day, just want to give it to you."

Wading through the river to cut the lotus flower,

fragrant grassy lagoon,

take it and know who to give it to, and,

Who want to go far.

Such short words, yet so heartwarming. He never thought that someone from a technical background could be this romantic, just as he never expected him to meet until the second time.

She used to be so nice to him, she used to love him like that.

With tears in her eyes, she blew out the candles.

Teammates clapped, each sharing a plate of ice cream cake, Tang Tang grimaced mocking him, silently asking: "Is this a gift from your girlfriend?"

Her hands were slightly shaking, her face was smiling again, Cheese Cake by Kempinski, she always liked it, she sometimes did not go home to sleep in the school dorm, she would always remember to ask the driver to buy it for her , send to her destination dorm.

Clearly afraid she would have an upset stomach at night, she kept saying: "I have to work overtime, my stomach is very hungry, I want to go out to eat, it's convenient to buy you a piece."

The girls in the dorm were divided, the others shouted: "Bao Yi Changning is in charge, we are all fat."

Back then, she was still a little chubby like a child, when she looked in the mirror she was always depressed, she was not photogenic at all. Photogenic should be small face type, palms size is suitable.

Tell her, she looks left and right for a long time, before nodding her head: "You have to add a little more skin to be beautiful, she said, the most beautiful thing is to be a pig."

He was so angry, jumped to hit her, he just lowered his head and kissed her, he said: "Thus no one will take you away from me." The kiss was so sweet, sweeter than any candy in the world.

She had already left him, but he still remembered her birthday and gave her a cake.

He very calmly returned to his seat, put down the paper disk, opened the browser, jumped out of the familiar welcome flash, then stopped for a long time, then clicked on BBS.

Unbelievable shock, not hearing a system rejection message, very fast, or maybe just 1 second, or maybe not even a second, a familiar but unknown BBS screen pops up. .

It was like an entire fallen world was rushing in, all of a sudden, he had no idea what was happening, just thinking that his life had been blocked directly from the veranda, but strangely enough. I can open a forum---he just makes a wish, but does it really work? He remained motionless for a few seconds, then thought about it, hurriedly searched through the online forum list, but did not see "Lan Ho Chong", as he used to call him big brother, instead, so he applied a nickname to himself, named "Land of Ho Chong", he even laughed and joked, saying: "Then I will register my nickname as Little Junior Sister."

He did not answer it, and registered it with the name "eight precepts".

He knew what he meant, because Linghu Chong and his little sister, in the end, could not be a couple, so he could not bear it.

But now, Sun Wukong, did not need the Eight Precepts anymore.

Maybe because he was lazy, or maybe he was stupid, maybe he was really stupid, no matter what, he didn't need it anymore.

I was worried he changed his ID, but his computer had to turn on, his software had not been uninstalled, otherwise he could not connect to BBS. He could not think of anything like this, because at a glance, there was a prominent topic circled in red that came first: "Mister Yi's wedding."

Someone posted a picture of her wedding.

Southern California, the guests smiled brightly, the sun was getting hotter, like blinding eyes, the bride's wedding dress was like snow white, melting rapidly in her eyes.

The throat slowly rose to a brackish sweetness, the ribs were chiseled to holes, day and night, slowly chiseled, finally collapsing in an instant. The handle of the mouse began to vibrate slowly, as if the machine was flipping the pages, one by one sliding down, each image like an arrow, forming a bundle of pins in the cavity of the heart, it was so painful that it was impossible to breathe more. If this was a thousand ten thousand arrows piercing his heart with immense pain, he could not hide, could not avoid it, could only accept it with sadness, even pain, he said, he can't even moan. The eye cavity continues to flow hot, sharp. The bride smiled happily, there was a photo together, she was wearing a white suit, she was very handsome, under the scorching sun, her clothes were still whiter than snow. In fact, his face was only slightly sunburned, but his eyebrows were still as bright as ever, his black pupils piercing through the screen painfully staring at him, slightly covering his smile, as if something was still missing, ever changing.

He finally got up, staggered and walked away, and turned off the computer, and when he pressed the "delete" button, he also understood, in this life, never to enter again.

He was so cruel, using this way to burn the last remnants of his memory, so desperate, so stingy, even that memory did not want him to be kept only partially. He thought over and over again in his heart, how could he be like this, how could he be so cruel?

Tang Tang asked in surprise, "Xiao Ye, how are you?"

He said: "I'm very upset, I want to go home."

Tang Tang stared at his pale brows, his entire body trembling. Apparently it was her birthday, she seemed to have fun cutting the cake just now, Tangtang thought she was sick and said: "Then so soon come back, and there's nothing else to do, where the leader will help me, you say."

He thanked me and left.

Walking out to the elevator, Tangtang chased: "Xiao Ye, this is your bag."

She was a bit numb to accept it, Tangtang was very worried: "Or I should ask Dawei to take you home, your face looks bad."

He gently shook his head: "I just ... have a little pain ... just."

Tang Duong thought that he must have a stomachache, and said, "Then go home quickly, eat some snacks, if you have a stomachache, you should eat."

He doesn't have stomach pain.

But his chest, right there, hurts.

He got lost to the main gate, walked to the side of the road, the taxi driver asked him: "Miss, where are you going?"

He listened to it twice before he understood, thinking for a long time before saying: "Cinema."

The driver took her to a nearby movie theater, she bought a ticket by herself, choosing a good movie to watch.

The seats were not very high, only a few spectators, there were lovers sitting in the back row kissing like no one else, but he was sitting in the front, motionless, not moving, tears flowed down his face.

As "Princess Diary" part 2, "Royal wedding", Disney film, a relaxed and open European country, a beautiful forest, a dream castle, a romantic meeting, back then, a, the water tank is sprayed at the same time, like a colorful flower in full bloom .

The prince ascended to the altar, princess Mia finally found true love in 30 days, from then on, they lived in the castle, lived a happy life.

Obviously a children's film, but he's sitting alone in the darkness of the theater, his eyes wet.

It's okay, he can only cry.

Because other than crying, she knew what else she could do on her own.

He didn't come home, he didn't go to the dorm, he didn't want to eat or drink, his stomach was empty, it hurt so much. Standing by the side of the road looking at the bar that was emitting rainbow colors, thinking about the name of the bar, it seemed like someone had mentioned it before, definitely Diep Than Khoan.

In the past, she used to go to bars with her classmates, when she started internships, sometimes co-workers invited guests and also went to pubs. But this bar is not like the one we used to visit, not only have to buy admission, but the atmosphere is also unusually high, the dance floor is crowded men and women, the lights are crazy and the music is deafening, the headache, even the DJ went crazy to the extreme, as if the demons were dancing around, rejoicing all night.

The waiter asked her what she should order, she ordered Long Island Ice Tea.

When he was abroad, Diep Than Dung secretly taught a teenager that he drank Tequila Bang, covered the mouth of a cup with a liner, collected a pile on a table, and then he drank a Tequila Bang, and swallowed it in one gulp. As a result, he could only drink 2 glasses, his entire body wrinkled, scaring Diep Tu Gongzi almost having to press 999.

It's called Long Island iced tea, but it's a lot to drink, get drunk, get drunk and cry on, maybe there'll be a reason.

Drink 2 glasses, not too drunk, but the lights are blinking more and more, his voice is moving more and more, a stranger is sitting next to him, starting a conversation with him.

He ignored her, focusing only on drinking. The man did not budge, he felt very upset, put down his glass, and walked to the dance floor.

His music was on the rise, a large number of people were bending and bending over, he could only feel the heat all over his body, his alcohol was rising, and he involuntarily merged with the powerful rhythm of releasing the body.

She danced so high, before the age of 20, she was still learning ballet, even though she didn't like it very much, but her grandmother frowned: "If you don't study hard, maybe Ballet won't do it? wanna learn?"

Grandmother was born as the son of a mandarin at the end of the Qing dynasty, the family was so famous, that the Republic of China still maintained the lineage of the family enlightened by the West, the family was so famous, she graduated from Smith College from the famous Seven Sisters school association. The daughters of the Thinh family were taught by her to be like graceful daughters, only Kam Thu was a rare figure, making her dizzy.

After his grandmother died, and his parents were busy with work and did not have time to take care of him, Thu Thu finally took this opportunity to leave ballet. But during his childhood, he trained very well, his body was much more resilient than a normal person, so once he danced, his young body was like a fresh flower in bloom. Just 2 songs, gradually some people noticed, some people whistled, some people clapped, surrounding him as the center.

Kam Kam sweated, went back to the bar to drink again, the 3rd glass of Long Island Iced Tea, drank it very quickly, exhausted, completely thirsty. As soon as he jumped to forget himself, when he sat down, he felt a little dizzy, then very easily drunk, he was afraid that he was actually crying, dumbfounded and closed the mouth of the glass.

Someone next to him sat down and pretended to ask: "Miss, can I offer you a glass of wine?"

That's disgusting!

He turned around and asked the Servant: "Is there a private room?"

Wouldn't it be better to drink a little wine alone in a deserted place?

Of course, he had his own room, The waiter brought him upstairs, covered the room at the lowest price, Kam Thu firmly opened a bottle of wine, ordered a plate of fruit, poured himself a drink.

On the wall there was a big crystal screen, she chose the song, but did not sing, every song goes after every song, just to listen.

Constant sadness, love and hate were hurt, every sentence and every word was sown in his heart until it trembled.

Little by little I drank until I got dizzy, knowing that I was drinking too much, so I pressed the bell to call the waiter to pay the bill, anyway swipe the card, secretary Diep Than Khoan on the 1st of each month was very punctual for the transfer of money to him.

That's good, nothing less, including money.

He walked down the corridor to go out, his steps were unsteady, still thinking in his heart, if his father knew today, he would definitely beat him, even though from childhood to adulthood, his father never moved, he said, even a strand of her hair. She was the only child, and the only daughter of the Diep family, from a young age, regardless of whether it was grandfather or cousin, everyone thought of her like a buffalo like a pearl. The people next to him, no matter who he was, looked at him with friendly smiles.

People all over the world respect you, only that person hates you.

Humans are certainly not sentimental, just being sentimental in the slightest, even thinking of words would be pitiful. She felt her legs soft, unable to drag anymore, leaning against the wall, closing her eyes to relax, able to continue walking.

Just when a room opened the door, someone came out, he was drunk, his reaction was a bit slow, almost hitting someone.

The man also drank alcohol, and got drunk and asked: "What kind of road are you heading to?"

He looked up, hey!

It was Van General

Van Hong Dat seemed even more surprised than he was, Kam Thu momentarily had a pleasant joke, his tongue twisted, spitting out every word filled with shade: "Is that you? Hey, you still owe me 1080,000!"

The light was dim, illuminating her sparkling eyes, her eyes were swinging eroticly, smiling like flowers, and also had a beautiful and moving style. Van Hong Dat suddenly felt his throat dry and hot, smiled and said: "Miss Diep! It's smart! Come on, come to our room and sit down!" he reached out to withdraw the Prime Minister's hand.

Thu Thu wanted to dodge, but his limbs could no longer obey, so he pulled his arm and dragged him into the room.

Even though he drank too much, he was still very clear in his mind, holding the light pole in the hallway with one hand, shaking his head, which meant that he did not want to enter with this man.
