While talking to me, Hannah couldn’t resist but glance over at Felix.
Following her gaze, I looked over to where Felix was sitting. He was tucked away in a corner, sitting in the shadows. There was a subtle smirk on his face as he occasionally glanced down at his phone. With his striking facial features, he exuded an air of grace.
He suddenly laughed after seeing something funny. A smile played at the corners of his eyes, and there was a hint of mischief in his
gaze.
He could easily be described as a heartthrob. When coupled with his indifferent and aloof demeanor, he would naturally attract women’s attention.
I observed Hannah in admiration as she gazed at him with infatuation.
After Hannah noticed I was staring, she suddenly blushed and smiled shyly. Then, she hid her blushing cheeks in between her arms.
Felix remained oblivious to all of this, placing all his attention on his phone. It seemed that all the enthusiasm in the room had nothing to do with him.
After fixing the general direction of the performance, Hannah took the lead in proposing. that the research institute needed to hold a performance. Plus, it had to be performed by
those in the room.
When the others heard that they needed to perform, they ignored the juniors‘ persuasions.
and left.
Felix and I were the only ones left who belonged to the research institute.
Hannah insisted we represented the first–year graduate students to perform something, even if it was just poetry or nursery rhyme. As I couldn’t reject her, I could only agree to recite poetry.
I thought it was settled. I could get out of it without putting much effort into it.
However, Felix suddenly said, “The orientation party happens once a year. It isn’t right for us to do things so simply. Why don’t we partner up? I can play the guitar while you choose a song to sing.”
Before I could turn him down, Hannah took the lead to cheer and clap. She kept praising the seniors from the graduate institute, saying we were the best and that we were cooperative. She also said they were so lucky to meet us.

I wasn’t someone who could turn someone down easily, not to mention with everyone now cheering. So, I could only agree. It wasn’t a big deal as it was just singing. I used to sing. karaoke with my best friend for the entire night back then.
I had a few songs I could sing well, so I would just choose something that I wouldn’t slip up.
Although I was disgusted and worried about partnering with Felix, it was just a
performance. Everything would return to normal after the performance. It wouldn’t affect anything at all.
If Lilac threw a fit over it, I could just quit the performance and return to my drawings.
