Chapter 71


    “Do you know who I am? Do you want to die?” Shawn was still putting up a fight, and even Queenie


    could sense the hypocrisy in his threatening tone.


    “Do I need to know?” The guy sneered.


    “Would you dare tell me who you are?” Shawn kept yelling defiantly. But to me and Queenie, it


    sounded like hisst desperate struggle.


    “They call me Colt,” the guy said arrogantly.


    “Colt?” Shawn seemed apprehensive regarding the name. He immediately fell silent and abandoned all


    resistance.


    Pathetically, he pleaded, “Colt, please spare me. I didn’t know Luna was one of yours. I won’t dare to


    touch her again.”


    Was Colt that famous and intimidating? I had no idea. But he seemed pretty cool to me for beating


    Shawn to a pulp.


    “You’d better behave yourself and stay away from her in Lincoln University. If she loses a single strand

    of hair, I’ll make you pay for it.”


    So domineering!


    I stared at the guy with twinkling eyes.


    “Get lost.”


    Having been granted mercy. Shawn crawled to his feet and fled with humiliation.


    Then, Colin came back to me. He was frowning angrily. “What are you doing here sote? Do you


    know how dangerous it is? If I hadn’t happened to pass by, you would have been in big trouble. How do


    you want me to exin to your parents if you got hurt?”


    Uh–oh, Colin was mad.


    And when Colin got mad, there was no better solution than ying the helpless card.


    Secretly, I pinched the flesh on my waist and tears quickly filled my eyes. Taking advantage of the tears


    I had managed to squeeze out, I sobbed loudly and wiped my eyes on his shirt. “Colin, why did you


    come


    sote? I was so scared.”


    Queenie stood there, dumbfounded as she watched my drastic change of expression, seemingly


    impressed by my quick–wittedness.


    Yes, I was scared. But my waist also hurt.


    Colin cared about me greatly. He softened when he saw me crying. The anger on his face eased up


    while


    he gently wiped my tears with a tissue. “If you’re scared, don’t act so recklessly again. Do you


    understand? Okay, stop crying. Tell me, what are you doing out sote?”


    “We just wanted to grab somete–night snacks and took a shortcut.” I looked up at Colin, whose


    expression had brightened, and quietly exined.


    For some reason, I felt a little nervous facing him as though I had done something wrong.


    Even though all we wanted was ate–night snack-


    I never imagined that this would happen either.


    “Are you injured?”


    “No.” To convince Colin, I bounced on the spot and spun thrice.


    “Come with me. Tell me next time if you want to eat something. Don’te out sote anymore, got


    it?” Colt walked ahead as he chided us.


    I followed him with Queenie, repeatedly nodding like a chick pecking at grains. “Okay, got it.”


    Now that the danger was gone, Queenie reverted to her gossip–loving self. She leaned into my ear and


    asked, “Who is this handsome guy? He’s so cool. Ah, my heart is beating so fast.”


    “Lower your voice. Don’t let him hear you.”


    “Lulu, tell me the truth. When did you find such a hottie? Are there any left? Hook me up with one.”


    When I covered her mouth to stop the nonsense she was spouting, she managed to free her mouth


    and resumed her babble. Irritated, I pinched her waist.


    She winced in pain “Lulu, it doesn’t matter if you know him. He saved you


    while continuing to speak


    today, and you have to repay his kindness.”
