Colin gave me a wicked smile and said, "Of course. Otherwise, I'd have to find someone else to help me with my release three times a night. I wouldn't want to soil myself, or my darling would find me repulsive."
Here we go again! What kind of talk was this!
Was dirtying his pants three times a night something to boast about? He was flaunting it shamelessly.
I felt awkward and couldn't respond.
I had originally wanted to tease him, but now I ended up being teased by him. I was the one embarrassed now.
In terms of witty banter, I still had room for improvement. No matter how many times I counter-attacked, it always ended in failure. I was hopeless.
Hearing about my return, Jade and Zara came over early in the morning and dragged me out with them.
It was hard for us to meet up in person nowadays. Much of our communication was done through the internet. It was only natural for us to gather and have some fun when the opportunity to meet arose.
Young women of our age didn't choose to go to amusement parks or aquariums anymore. Those had become too childish for us. After all, we weren't teenagers anymore. Now, our main destination was major shopping malls where we could shop and enjoy meals together.
After a whole morning of shopping, our feet were sore, but we had a fruitful haul. We were planning to have lunch at a newly opened restaurant.
Zara drove, so we put all the shopping bags in the car and decided to walk over to the restaurant. Just as we started to walk, we saw someone we really didn't want to see after turning a corner—Lilac.
How long had it been? If it weren't for today's chance encounter, I would've forgotten about her existence. I didn't expect her to still be in Southsville.
The weather in August was really hot, but Lilac was wearing a zippered long-sleeved sports shirt and beige long pants that covered up her feet. I felt hot just looking at her. Her long hair had been cut short. It was messy and hanging over her shoulders. Her delicate face was covered in tear stains.
As we passed by a narrow alley, we saw her crying and pulling on the sleeve of a man opposite her. She was talking, but I couldn't hear what she said due to the distance.
