Chapter 138
Matthew was the first to make his pursuit of me clear. I couldn’t find a reason to say no, so I
agreed.
While washing my face, I was thinking about my four years at Lincoln University. In the first semester, some guys would always send me flowers and ask for my contact number for no apparent reason. However, nothing like that ever happened again in the following years.
Due to this reason, I always felt envious when I saw a man holding a big bouquet of roses and confessing his love to a woman.
At that time, I thought I was too tall and indifferent, which made me unpopular. Or maybe my classmates at Lincoln University loved studying so much that they had no time to care about a beautiful woman like me, which made me appear so worthless.
But Jesselton College was different from Lincoln University. The second day after I reported here, a senior blocked my way and asked for my contact number.
Felix happened to pass by that day. I didn’t know what he said to that senior, but he turned around and walked away. He never looked for me again.
And now, Matthew was the pursuer. Although it was just beginning, his pursuit was more intense than that senior’s.
I didn’t know what would happen to me if I accepted his pursuit.
But I was 22. Many of my college classmates went out to live with their boyfriends during their sophomore year. I had never even held a man’s hand. Everyone had always regarded me as a freak because of this. So, I thought I had reached the age of love and should have a boyfriend.
Matthew and I were old friends, and I knew him to a certain extent. Since he had liked me for so many years, it might be a good idea to be his girlfriend.
I combed my long hair, wore a light blue dress, and went out with my small bag.
When I closed the apartment door, I felt a cold gaze behind me, which was about to pierce my back.
Anxiously, I walked out. I then saw something red in front of me.
Matthew had changed into a light gray suit, which looked very formal. His hair seemed to have been specially styled, making him look even more elegant.

He was holding a large bouquet of red roses and was standing a few steps from the door. Seeing me, he smiled. He appeared to be full of joy and enthusiasm.
“Lulu, these are the roses I picked. Do you like them?”
He handed the roses to me.
Two women happened to pass by. Seeing him handing over roses to me, they walked away
with a smile and even cheered me on.
It was my first time receiving flowers, so I was very excited. I felt like all the blood in my body was rushing to my head, and my cheeks were hot.
