Khac had not finished his sentence when Cuong interrupted:

– Carve this! I have something to tell you.

– What’s up? Why are you so serious today?

Cuong’s voice was a bit hesitant,

– I…

Khac crossed his arms and seriously looked at his friend and asked:

– What do you say?

– I…

Seeing that Cuong was still hesitant to speak, Khac teased:

– Tell me, why are you so hesitant? Or do you want to confess your love to me?

Cuong quickly waved his hand,

– No no no. That’s no way.

Seeing that, Khac teased him even more:

– It’s not a confession, then… – Khac grabbed Cuong’s collar, his face pretending to be angry: – Did you do something wrong to me? Gibber!

Seeing his friend angry, Cuong turned pale and said:

– I… I… I said, you can’t hit me!

– Speak quickly!

– You have to promise not to hit me before I tell you!

Khac frowned slightly, thinking about his sister’s story. Thinking about that, he really wanted to hit Cuong immediately. But because he was curious to know what Cuong wanted to say, Khac softened his voice and said:

– Okay, I promise you. Can’t touch you yet. Let’s talk quickly!

After a moment of hesitation, Cuong blushed and said:

– That happened to me and Hanh.

Khac already knew the story, and was the mastermind in that case. But he still had to act angry and grab his neck, hissing through his teeth:

– After all this time, you just said it, do you want to let go of responsibility?

Cuong quickly explained:

– I’m not someone who doesn’t want to take responsibility. You know my personality, I’m not good at speaking and I’m shy with girls. I…

Khac calmly asked:

– So what? Are you planning on eating and then running away?

Cuong waved his hand and hastily explained.

– No no no. I intended to ask him to create an opportunity for me to talk to Hanh.

– The opportunity is full, why don’t you say it now?

What else are you asking for? Are you planning on crying, a cat or a mouse?

– But she avoided me and didn’t give me time to speak.

– You must be dumb as a clam looking at it, right?

Cuong blushed and nodded shyly. Khac smiled faintly and said:

– I knew right away, you don’t dare open your mouth to speak with your face. Okay, I won’t hit you, I’ll find a way for you two to talk to each other.

Cuong happily hugged Khac tightly and thanked him profusely:

– Carve! Thank you very much!

– I don’t do it for you, I do it for my sister.

With Khac’s approval, Cuong was very happy, but he had a strange feeling in his heart. This time, Khac agreed too easily, unlike Khac’s previous self. He wanted to ask what was going on with Khac, but he didn’t feel comfortable asking because he was afraid that Khac would get angry and change his mind to hit him, which would be dangerous. But Cuong doesn’t know who is the mastermind of what happened between him and Hanh. He will definitely no longer have this grateful look on his face.

…

– This! Can I really ask you this?

Hanh was stir-frying vegetables and turned around.

– You ask!

– I’m asking a bit delicately, you have to answer truthfully.

Hanh smiled and asked again:

– What’s so mysterious? You still have to fence with me in advance.

– Then just agree!

Hanh turned off the stove, turned back to Khac and said:

– Okay, I agree. Can you ask now?

– You don’t like Cuong anymore?

Hearing Khac’s question, Hanh paused slightly, then coldly asked his brother again:

– What do you ask for?

– At this time, I see you seem distant towards him, no longer as close as before. So I’m curious to ask you, see what happened between you.

Hanh sighed and said casually:

– Time changes, people’s personality shapes also change, then emotions will also change, nothing more. Nothing in this world lasts forever. My love for him is gone. Now, I realize how foolish I was to love a man who didn’t love me. I wasted too much time loving someone. It’s time for me to live for myself, not worry about his happiness or sadness anymore.

– Listening to your voice, I feel like you’re resentful and blaming?

Hanh smiled and replied:

– No way.

Khac looked at Hanh intently, as if wanting to find in her signs of a lie. But her expression was calm, there was nothing for him to catch. Sighing softly, he looked at his sister and said:

– This happiness!

She looked at her brother and answered:

– Yes. What is going on?

– Do you still remember the story I told about Cuong?

She nodded in confirmation:

– I remember very clearly. But why are you suddenly asking me that?

– Actually, I know what happened between you two.

Hanh looked at her brother in shock and exclaimed:

– Why do you know that?

– Cuong told me.

Her face showed anger, her hands clenched into fists.

– What did he say to you?

– He told the story of what happened to the two of us. It’s not that he’s an irresponsible person, he just doesn’t dare to speak to you.

– So he asked you to speak for him?

Khac shook his head,

– No, he asked me to help him arrange a meeting so the two of us could talk privately. But I think I should talk frankly with you first. Until I meet him, I won’t blame him for meddling in our affairs.

Hanh calmly said to Khac

– You’re meddling in my business.

Khac scratched his head and said:

– No.

– So why do you say good things to him? Sometimes I wonder, are you my brother, or is he my brother?

– Of course you are my sister. I have to stand by your side, how can I defend him? But think about it, what is it like normally? But that day he could do such a terrible thing. If it’s normal, I’m sure he wouldn’t dare do that. Holding your hand, he was still cowering, still getting used to it. Meanwhile, the two of them had a relationship with each other.
