Chapter 206
I was overjoyed: From now on, Colin would take care of me, and I no longer needed to worry
about food. Oh, c’est la vie!
But life, as usual, was fond of cracking tasteless jokes. I often ran into those who I absolutely
abhorred.
I woke up early the next morning. For the first time in forever, I was motivated enough to go for a jog. Unfortunately for me, I bumped into Felix and Lilac.
I was jogging on the running track and they were walking in the opposite direction. There
was no way to avoid them.
I thought I could pretend they were not there and jog past them. But Lilac approached me with a bright smile and clung to my arm.
I shuddered, not liking the sudden physical contact. I took a few steps back to create some distance between us. Warily, I eyed her and said, “You can speak to me from that distance. We’re not close enough for any physical contact.”
Lilac, as shameless as she was, paid my aloofness no mind. She approached me, forcing me to retreat a few more steps. “Today is my birthday, Lulu. Felix and I want to buy you a meal.
You must join us!”
Ew. Why should I join them? No thanks!
“I have plans with Colin, so I can’t be there. Enjoy lunch and happy birthday.”
“Colin will be there too, won’t he?”
Lilac clung to Felix’s body and looked at him with her big, vulnerable eyes. There was nothing in Felix’s orbs; they were just like a void. Impassively, Felix said yes after a long
pause.
“If Colin’s there, I’ll be there. Just text me the address. And move, you’re in my way.”
Since Felix and Lilac were Colin’s younger brother and future sister–in–law respectively, I didn’t want to put Colin in a difficult situation. I could attend this lunch for his sake.
After the class at noon, Colin called and told me to meet them first as he would be late due to
work.
I went to the address Lilac had sent me. Felix and Lilac were already inside.

Lilac was snuggling against Felix. Her nose was red and her eyes were puffy, as if she had cried earlier. Felix lowered his head as he consoled her gently with his words.
Wasn’t today her birthday? I had a hunch that there was more to this lunch than met the eye.
As soon as I sat down, Lilac began weeping.
I was impressed, really. There seemed to be a button for her tears. When she pressed it, tears would come gushing down her cheeks for as long as she wanted.
“Felix, can you tell what I said to Lulu? I’m so worried about her.”
What? Lilac was crying for me? What did I do this time?
Ugh, dealing with a drama queen was such a hassle.
