"Hmm, I got it. You can go back now." I shrugged nonchalantly. It was a pity that I couldn't relax throughout the break.
"L-Lulu, can you pretend you didn't see anything?" Felix's eyes were full of pleading.
"I won't tell others, but I won't hide it from Colin."
He took a few steps back dejectedly with an unreadable expression.
Wasn't Lilac the one who had betrayed him? Others wouldn't stop him since he was willing to be with her again. They would only watch the fun and make some nasty jokes. Why did he show this expression to me? Did he not dare to disclose what he had done?
He was a shame to men. He had become so rotten that even God couldn't save him.
I walked far away and heard Felix ask me from behind, "Lulu, will you hate me because of that?"
I thought about it before responding, "It has nothing to do with me."
Back in the classroom, I found a quiet corner to sit down and called Colin. I told him what I had just witnessed.
After all, Felix was Colin's biological brother. If something went wrong or something bad happened to Felix, we could think of ways to help him in time.
Colin must have been upset by Felix's behavior. He pondered for a while before saying, "Based on what I know about Felix, he won't get back together with Lilac. There must be a reason why they're together. I'm not sure what it is."
Before hanging up, I heard the sound of a number-calling machine again. Perhaps it was too far away, and I couldn't hear it clearly, but it was there.
"Colin, are you in college?"
Colin avoided my question. "I'm busy with something. You should return to class first. I'll order a takeout for you tonight."
Did the college also have a number-calling machine? I had never heard of it.
...
I finally got out of class and discovered a few unread messages on my phone. Colin had sent me the dinner order and reminded me to go downstairs to get it.
I felt a little lazy and decided to wander around before heading to Crystal House.
