Chapter 206


    I was overjoyed: From now on, Colin would take care of me, and I no longer needed to worry


    about food. Oh, c’est vie!


    But life, as usual, was fond of cracking tasteless jokes. I often ran into those who I absolutely


    abhorred.


    I woke up early the next morning. For the first time in forever, I was motivated enough to go for a jog.


    Unfortunately for me, I bumped into Felix and Lc.


    I was jogging on the running track and they were walking in the opposite direction. There


    was no way to avoid them.


    I thought I could pretend they were not there and jog past them. But Lc approached me with a bright


    smile and clung to my arm.


    I shuddered, not liking the sudden physical contact. I took a few steps back to create some distance


    between us. Warily, I eyed her and said, “You can speak to me from that distance. We’re not close


    enough for any physical contact.”


    Lc, as shameless as she was, paid my aloofness no mind. She approached me, forcing me to retreat


    a few more steps. “Today is my birthday, Lulu. Felix and I want to buy you a meal.


    You must join us!”


    Ew. Why should I join them? No thanks!


    “I have ns with Colin, so I can’t be there. Enjoy lunch and happy birthday.”


    “Colin will be there too, won’t he?”


    Lc clung to Felix’s body and looked at him with her big, vulnerable eyes. There was nothing in Felix’s


    orbs; they were just like a void. Impassively, Felix said yes after a long


    pause.


    “If Colin’s there, I’ll be there. Just text me the address. And move, you’re in my way.”


    Since Felix and Lc were Colin’s younger brother and future sister–inw respectively, I didn’t want to


    put Colin in a difficult situation. I could attend this lunch for his sake.


    After the ss at noon, Colin called and told me to meet them first as he would bete due to


    work.


    I went to the address Lc had sent me. Felix and Lc were already inside.

    Lc was snuggling against Felix. Her nose was red and her eyes were puffy, as if she had cried


    earlier. Felix lowered his head as he consoled her gently with his words.


    Wasn’t today her birthday? I had a hunch that there was more to this lunch than met the eye.


    As soon as I sat down, Lc began weeping.


    I was impressed, really. There seemed to be a button for her tears. When she pressed it, tears would


    come gushing down her cheeks for as long as she wanted.


    “Felix, can you tell what I said to Lulu? I’m so worried about her.”


    What? Lc was crying for me? What did I do this time?


    Ugh, dealing with a drama queen was such a hassle.


    I shouldn’t have agreed to have lunch with them.


    “I see this is a trap. Just cut to the chase. I don’t need all that unnecessary acting,” I said impatiently. I


    didn’t have it in me to handle these two crazy people.


    Often I wondered if I was too blind to see Felix’s true character when I was 18, or if Lc was such a


    bad influence that she turned the well–mannered boy I knew into a toxic guy.


    What happened to Felix? How did he be so… unreasonable?


    “Just tell her, Felix.” Lc’s cloy voice was giving me the heebie–jeebies.


    Felix dried Lc’s tears and thought for a while, trying to phrase the sentence as nicely as possible.


    Then, he uttered, “Lulu, you’re single, and because of that, Lc feels very insecure about this


    rtionship. Can you date someone?”


    “Mhm. Lulu, I’know some tall and handsome ssmates in my faculty. Do you want me to introduce


    them to you?” Lc added.


    “A ssmate of mine is a decent guy. He met you not long ago and has a crush on you. He asked me


    to set you and him up for a date.”


    Felix took out his phone and showed me a number in his contacts. “This is his number. If you don’t


    mind meeting him, he’ll call you.”
