Chapter 307

His phone rang many times, nonstop. The caller was quite persistent.

Nobody spoke, but everyone knew who the call was from.

Dad set down the wine glass he had just filled and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Mom sighed, set down her fork, and said helplessly, “You’d better head home, Colin.”

Colin sat still, tightly holding my hand under the table.

I told him, “Just go back, Colin. The semester will start soon. We can be together every day then.”

“That’s right. It’s the New Year. You shouldn’t make your family unhappy. Don’t cause trouble for Lulu

anymore.” Mom patted his shoulder.

Her final sentence had an effect. Colin set down his fork, reluctantly put on his coat, and left.

I sent him to the car. He leaned against the car door and hugged me. Regardless of whether anyone

would notice, he kissed my forehead gently.

His breath was hot despite the cold outside.

“Lulu, I wish I could swallow you. Then I can bring you everywhere.”

The temperature in Southsville was very low in winter. Colin was only wearing a fur coat, but he was

warm.

“But if you swallow me, I’ll turn into shit.” I pretended to be worried while waiting to see how he would

react.

As expected, he instantly choked, and his expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and stated he wanted to teach me a lesson, but I seized the opportunity and ran away.

When I entered the corridor, he sat in the car, licking his lips and smiling broadly at me.

It was just a kiss on the forehead. I wondered why Colin looked so happy.

I didn’t ask what happened after he returned. He didn’t tell me either. Anyway, he looked a little unhappy when video chatting with me. I could tell he had had an unpleasant New Year’s Eve meal.

That night, we watched each other on both sides of the screen and chatted for a long time. We

exchanged New Year greetings before hanging up the phone.

Less than five minutes later, he texted me, “You’re mine. You’re not allowed to get close to any boys other than me, especially Felix.”

At the time, I had no idea what Colin meant by his meaningless words and assumed it was due to the incident in the hospital. I regarded it as a joke and responded, “I only want you for the rest of my life.”

He replied, “Someone has bad intentions. I’m not confident I can keep you.”

I teased him again, “Confidence comes from the one you love. Do you not love me enough?”

I took this conversation as a romantic sentiment and didn’t think much about it.

When Colin’s fears came true, I realized I had a simplistic view of human nature.

On the third day of the New Year, I made an appointment to go out with my friends. However, I saw Felix as soon as I walked out of the residential area.

He was in a long coat, leaning against a big tree.

He probably hadn’t cut his hair since he was ill, as his hair hung softly past his ears. The cold wind blew up his hair, making him appear paler and thinner, like a sick prince. He also reminded me of a miserable,

abandoned animal.

Given what Felix and Aunt Mel had done before, I was annoyed when I saw him and didn’t w

to him. I simply pretended not to see him and walked past him expressionlessly.

“Lulu.”

He straightened up and called me. His voice sounded aggrieved.

Aunt Mel harshly scolded me because of him. What exactly was he aggrieved about?

I suppressed my irritability and stopped, impatiently asking him what he wanted from me.
