Chapter 154


    “Why openly and not secretly?” Colin leaned on the sink, facing my teasing


    calmly.


    “Since the medieval era, it hasn’t been appropriate for men and women to be too close to one another.


    If you enter my room secretly, it may affect your reputation. But if we meet openly, you can protect your


    reputation. It’s my best offer.”

    Colin turned his head,ughing so hard that his shoulders shook. He then turned and pushed me out.


    “Let’s go. To protect myself, I’ll go to your room openly.”


    I had rarely seen him since I became an adult, and his opportunities toe to my room were even


    rarer.


    “Nothing has changed. I didn’t expect you to keep your things long–term.”


    Colin sat at my study table, picking up a book to read.


    “Of course, I…”


    Before I finished speaking, my phone rang. Matthew was giving me a video


    call.


    I looked at Colin guiltily, not knowing whether I should answer the call.


    His expression changed, and he signaled me. “Be polite. Pick it up.”


    I immediately clicked the answer button. Matthew’s face and his surroundings soon broke into my


    vision.


    Judging from the furnishings and environment, it should be a high–end


    restaurant. Some young people passed behind him. The red figure sitting on the couch was simr to


    my roommate, Helen.


    “Lulu, how are you? Have you eaten?”


    He plucked tits evebrows, seemingly a little tired. His eyes were also dim, without the softness and


    sweetness of the past.


    “I’ve eaten. Are you okay? Do you have a headache?”


    When asked that, Colin, who was at the side, showed a darkened expression:


    “A little, but it’s nothing. Don’t worry. By the way, are your parents okay? Don’t forget to send my


    greetings.”


    “Yes, I will


    Several people over there called him over. He smiled apologetically at me. “I hate socializing, but I can’t


    refuse it.”


    I smiled. “Go ahead. Take care of yourself. I’ll hang up.‘


    “Lutu,” he called me with deep affection. “Come back early. I miss you so much


    I felt my face burning hot.


    I was very embarrassed to show affection in front of Colin.


    After I hurriedly hung up the phone, I saw his gloomy expression.


    He asked deeply, “Do you like him?”


    I thought seriously before answering, “I’m developing feelings for him.”


    “Why him? Is it because of those ut goosebump–inducing letters?”


    I did receive it letters from Matthew, but I had only opened one and read two lines before Colin


    destroyed them on my behalf. I didn’t know whether those letters would give me goosebumps.


    Since he said that, he might have read all those letters.


    Didn’t he say he would throw them away? I wondered why he read those

    letters without my permission. He and Felix were indeed brothers. One kept my letters privately, and


    the other read my letters secretly.


    1 wanted to argue with Colin, asking him why he didn’t let me read my letters. He was a bully for having


    read them all.


    Before I could say anything, he turned and nced at me meaningfully. I instantly became speechless


    and didn’t dare toin.


    1 exined, “That’s not entirely the reason. My two roommates have already gone out to live with their


    boyfriends. I’m the only one who has never been in a rtionship. I haven’t even touched a man’s


    hand. Theyugh at me every time we get on video calls.


    “I’m not young anymore. Mom also said that I’ve reached the age of falling in love. Matt grew up with


    me, knows me well, and has liked me for many years. I want to try to be with him. If everything goes


    well, we can be


    together. If not, I’ll break up with him.”
