Chapter 217
After Hannah saw that we had finalized the performance, she no longer had any excuse to force us to stay. In the end, she let me go reluctantly after saving my number.
I left with the excuse of having something to do. I mainly didn’t want to walk together with Felix. We had to keep a distance, after all.
When I left, I heard Hannah’s sweet voice asking Felix for his number so that she could
contact him in the future.
When I had dinner with Colin that night, I told him about the orientation party. After hearing that I would perform with Felix and might have to rehearse with him, the smile and glimmer in his eyes disappeared.
Colin forced a smile. “Do your best. You sing quite well. Everyone will definitely like your performance.”
I knew what he was worried about. Initially, I wanted to tell him that Felix and I would just be performing–nothing else. But I dismissed the idea after thinking for a while. If I really became Colin’s girlfriend or even his wife, we would definitely still come into contact with
Felix.
They were brothers, after all. There was no way they would cut off contact. Plus, I had nothing to hide, so there was no need to bother with unnecessary explanations.
At that time, I thought Colin was one of the people who knew me the best. I didn’t explain any further as I thought he would be able to guess my thoughts.
I knew how wrong I was when our misunderstanding got so deep that I didn’t even know where to start explaining.
The orientation party was set for Friday night, and today was already Tuesday.
The new song Felix chose was something I liked. Thus, I gave up choosing an old song and downloaded the new song into my phone. I wore my headphones and replayed the song over and over again, familiarizing myself with the melody and lyrics.
At 4:00 pm, I was painting when Felix called me to rehearse. As I was too muddle–headed and preoccupied, I didn’t think much of it. I changed into a white long–sleeved shirt and

pants. I was too tired from painting the entire afternoon, so I wanted to do something to
relax.
When I exited my apartment gate, Felix was already waiting for me at the steps.
He was carrying his guitar and clad in a white tracksuit. His hair was black as ink, while his lips were rosy red. The evening sunlight shone on him, casting a golden hue on his figure. 1
Felix could be considered exquisite in terms of appearance. I had only met one other person like him in my entire 20 years of life.
That was Colin.
They were both stunning, but in different ways.
Felix was on the prettier side–tall, slender, and fair. He was considered delicate and aloof.
On the other hand, Colin was rugged and had sharp features as if they were carved from wood. He was tan, had a pair of deep and expressive eyes, broad shoulders, a slim waist, and narrow hips. Every muscle on his body excluded strength. He gave off a strong sense of security.
Five years had passed. There was something indescribable about Felix’s stunning appearance. He was a mixture of maturity and youthfulness.
Just by standing there, he would capture many people’s attention.
