Chapter 57
“I’ve been busy with my studies and haven’t paid much attention to family matters for the past two years. I wasn’t here for you during your most difficult moments, and I’m deeply sorry for that, Lulu,” Colin slowly said, his voice carrying a deep sense of guilt.
“Why are you apologizing? It’s not your fault,” I replied.
“Lulu, you must have been heartbroken. Felix is such a jerk,” Colin said, his gaze filled with sympathy but
as tender as sun–smitten dew.
“I’m much better now, not as distressed as before.”
Time had elapsed since those difficult days, and although it had been incredibly challenging. I was
slowly feeling more at ease.
“Good, Lulu. You’re such a good girl. Would you like to talk to me about it? I can be your best listener.”
I sniffed and glanced at my phone, realizing there was only half an hour left until class, which wasn’t
enough time.
Furthermore, I had no desire to delve into those painful memories. Doing so would mean reliving them, and I had no intention of revisiting that distressing Thanksgiving incident in this lifetime.
“Colin, can we not talk about it?”
“Of course, Lulu. We won’t discuss it if it’s traumatic to you. Let’s go. We need to head back as the class is starting soon. Just remember, no matter what life throws at you, I’ll always be here for you.”
‘Thank you, Colin. But why are you so kind to me?”
Colin’s hand paused for a moment on my shoulder,
Emotions flickered in his eyes, something he couldn’t quite put into words, but he swiftly contained it and resumed being the warm and reliable Colin.
“Well, Lulu, a beautiful and lovely girl like you deserves to be treated well.”
That morning, Colin walked me to the classroom, watching me find my seat before turning to leave.
As they witnessed me being personally escorted to the classroom by Prince Charming, a few familiar girls came over, eager to inquire about my relationship with Colin.

They grew excited after discovering that I was Colin’s childhood friend.
They started asking if they matched Colin’s ideal type and if there was a possibility of capturing his heart
by taking the initiative.
As a responsible childhood friend, I observed these girls and began to filter them out.
One had eyes so small it was hard to tell if they were open or closed, another had a waist as wide as a bucket, a third was overly ostentatious and far from modest, the next one wore unattractive brown pants. and the girl beside me had such a sharp chin it seemed almost fake-
After a round of inspection, I publicly declared none of them were Colin’s type.
The girl with the sharp chin boldly inquired about Colin’s ideal partner and how to get his attention, but I
couldn’t come up with an answer.
*Anyway, none of you are his type.” I said.
Perhaps I truly didn’t have the answer. The reasons I had offered were solely based on my personal
opinions.
The girls returned to their seats with a sense of disappointment.
One of them even rested her head on her desk and remained there for the entire class. It was uncertain whether she was crying profusely or had fallen asleep.
Despite my reluctance, I went to pick up Lilac from the airport on time.
“Luna, you actually came to pick me up, huh? You always do whatever Felix asks of you. Alright, do me a favor and carry this. My hand is sore from holding it,” Lilac remarked in her irritating tone.
I couldn’t understand how someone so delicate and gentle–looking could have such a cunning soul. Didn’t she know how annoying she was?
If I weren’t someone who always kept my promises, I might have considered leaving her there and
walking away.
She was incredibly irritating.
