It was not like I could choose not to go.
I had no classes in the morning. Colin, who was familiar with my schedule, dropped me off in the corridor.
Felix was already there, dressed in a set of black clothes. His hair was neatly trimmed with each strand standing upright, adding a touch of stubbornness to his sharp appearance.
"Go ahead. I'll wait over there." Colin pushed me forward and pointed to the bench outside the corridor.
"Lulu, you're here." Felix turned around. He was tall, with handsome features and sparkling eyes. Despite the melancholic air around him, he still resembled the youthful him of the past.
I nodded and responded lightly, "Colin said you wanted to see me. What's the matter?"
Felix seemed taken aback for a moment and then glanced at Colin sitting on the bench. A self-deprecating and obscure look flickered in his eyes. "Lulu, why did you fall in love with Colin?"
"There's no reason. Love is just love. Just like how you fell for Lilac. Speaking of which, I must've been too stupid. I clearly had someone precious by my side, yet I was chasing after someone who wasn't mine. I was really stupid." I chuckled softly.
"You're right. I was stupid too. I didn't understand my own heart, always thinking that I was right, only to regret it later. If I hadn't been so rebellious back then and hadn't done those things to hurt you, maybe it wouldn't be Colin who's by your side today."
Here it was again.
I couldn't understand why Felix kept saying such things. What was he thinking? What did he intend to do?
Since I came to study at Jesselton College, he had brought this up at least three times.
The harm had already been done, time had buried everything, and we had grown from ignorant youths to mature adults. We had completely moved on from the past, so what was the point of bringing it up again?
If all the "ifs" could be realized, there would be no more regrets in this world.
