After Quan Mac Tinh finished handling her sister's business, she walked on the path around the lake. Memories of high school appeared, her friend, whom she did not dare to take another step, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep this friendship.
"You came so early?" The man's voice rang out.
Quan Mac Tinh turned around, a smile appeared on her lips. In business, she is a businesswoman with great intelligence and experience, no one can make it difficult for Quan Mac Tinh in the business field. But when Quan Mac Tinh stood in front of Kieu Gia Lac, she seemed to return to her student days, when she was still innocent.
"I have something to do today, so I'll be there early." Quan Mac Tinh shrugged.
Kieu Gia Lac looked at Quan Mac Tinh and just smiled. They have a promise, every Sunday they will walk on Ho Tay Lake together. Since graduating from college, they have kept this promise.
Quan Mac Tinh gave a bottle of water to Kieu Gia Lac: "Drink it."
"Thank you."
"How's your job these days?" Kieu Gia Lac asked Quan Mac Tinh.
"Everything is fine." Quan Mac Tinh replied.
"Aren't you going to find a man to fall in love with?" Kieu Gia Lac is curious, his friends from high school have not had any men by their side.
Quan Mac Tinh drank some water: "Now I am important to my career, and you, have you changed your lover?"
Kieu Gia Lac is a handsome, polite man who knows how to pamper women, but he has never truly loved anyone, Kieu Gia Lac only considers them as partners.
"Still like innocent girls?" Quan Mac Tinh laughed.
Kieu Gia Lac leaned on the railing by the lake: "Sometimes I think I want to love someone sincerely, want to use all that I have to give to that person, but I'm afraid." He said slowly, he has loved Quan Mac Tinh since college, but he doesn't want to break this friendship. Kieu Gia Lac's partners all look like Quan Mac Tinh.
"Bad boys want to turn back?"
"Never a bad boy, me and those girls came together on the basis of interests. They give me what I need and I give them what they want. That's fair." Kieu Gia Lac lit a cigarette. Distant eyes.
"Do you want to go for a drink?" Quan Mac Tinh spoke up.
Kieu Gia Lac laughed: "Since when did you become such a drinker? In the past, you told me, drinking alcohol is harmful to the body."
Quan Mac Tinh shrugged: "The day before was the day before, now is now, my opinion changes very quickly."
"You learned the craft of business, now you're applying it to me?"
"Don't say that, men hear you say that, they won't dare come near me." Quan Mac Tinh smiled, Kieu Gia Lac always existed in her eyes, but neither he nor she wanted to break up this friendship.
"Quan Mac Tinh, don't play the pitiful role, you don't look familiar." In the eyes of Kieu Gia Lac, Quan Mac Tinh is an extremely talented woman, he does not know which man is worthy to be with Quan Mac Tinh.
"Um, I have to play the villain right?"
"Correct."
Food store.
Quan Mac Tinh and Kieu Gia Lac are two people with money, but they do not choose high-class restaurants, on the contrary, they choose street food. When they were in high school, the two of them used to come here often, they didn't get much money from their parents at that time, so they always had to save money.
"Do you remember one day when we ate more than we allowed?" Kieu Gia Lac after ordering the food, he and Quan Mac Tinh talked.
"How can I forget, that day the two of us were so scared, we didn't know what to do to solve it."
"Fortunately, your sister passed by, we could borrow some money." Kieu Gia Lac recalls the moment when two high school students asked for money from middle school students.
Quan Mac Tinh used her hand to cover her mouth and smiled: "Nu Ge was still confused at that time?"
"Ah, speaking of Nhu Ge, is she doing well in school these days?" Kieu Gia Lac likes Quan Nhu Ca, he considers her as his sister, a girl with an honest and sincere personality.
Quan Mac Tinh recalled what Quan Nhu Ca did last night, she understood that her sister was harmed by someone else, but it couldn't be completely the other person's fault. If Guan Yuge was alert, then there wouldn't be such a thing.
"It's okay, you know my mom is strict right?"
"I still know your family is strict. But it's not good to protect Nhu Ge too much."
"I know." Quan Mac Tinh spoke up.
The hostess quickly prepared the food for the two of them. All familiar dishes. Quan Mac Tinh smiled happily, all worries in an instant completely disappeared.
Kieu Gia Lac looked at her, there was something warm in his heart.
"Eat it."
"OK."
Two people drinking together, they talk about many stories, present stories, past stories and future plans. Every responsibility wants to disappear.
Quan Mac Tinh leaned on the arm of the chair: "You're an obnoxious bad boy."
"Oh, and you, you're an obnoxiously meticulous and talented person."
"Talent but obnoxious? Are you crazy? Countless people want to be like me but can't." Quan Mac Tinh is proud of what she has done.
"Woman, don't be too talented." Kieu Gia Lac just wanted to protect Quan Mac Tinh but she was so talented, she was so talented that if he was next to her, he would be scared.
"Shut up, you know what, my family only has two sisters, if I'm not talented, who will be the one to carry the company with my father?" Quan Mac Tinh always places a heavy responsibility on herself.
Kieu Gia Lac grabbed Quan Mac Tinh's hand: "Hey, in your eyes, am I a bad boy who only knows how to make love?"
"Isn't that right? You make love to every girl, I hate you."
Kieu Gia Lac heard this, his hand held hers tighter: "But I don't love them."
"You go for sexual satisfaction, don't you?" Quan Mac Tinh laughed, she understood this man, he doesn't love anyone, he just wants to make love. But Kieu Gia Lac is the person that Quan Mac Tinh secretly loves.
"I." Kieu Gia Lac looked at Quan Mac Tinh and suddenly became quiet.
"I'm right, aren't I?"
"Have you ever truly loved someone?" Quan Mac Tinh looked at Kieu Gia Lac, even though he was a bad boy, she still loved him.
"Loved and always loved." Kieu Gia Lac said softly.
Quan Mac Tinh closed his eyes: "Love? Who do you love?"
"Someone I really appreciate, I don't want to hurt that person."
"If you want to be in a serious relationship, you should fix your sexual relationship with girls." Quan Mac Tinh lowered her voice.
Kieu Gia Lac smiled gently: "Men have different desires, do you understand?"
"Sexual desire, I don't like."
Kieu Gia Lac suddenly grabbed Quan Mac Tinh's hand: "I don't do what you hate anymore, do you love me?" He suddenly asked, this is a question that has not been answered for many years.
Quan Mac Tinh looked at him in surprise: "You're drunk."
"No, I'm not drunk. Quan Mac Tinh, over the years, can't you feel that I like you?"
"If you liked me, you wouldn't have had sex with countless girls."
Kieu Gia Lac hugged Quan Mac Tinh: "I want to forget you, I don't dare say I love you, I don't want to destroy this friendship." He bowed.
Quan Mac Tinh was surprised, she wanted to push him away but stood still: "You're drunk, Kieu Gia Lac."
Quan Mac Tinh finished speaking, she quickly took her bag and left: "Forget about today."
Kieu Gia Lac looked at Quan Mac Tinh, he wanted her by his side, he wanted to love her, he wanted her to become his lover.
Quan Mac Tinh sat in the car, she couldn't believe what she just heard, the two of them just a few hours ago were still friends. She loves him, but she cannot accept the actions of Kieu Gia Lac in the past time.
