Chapter 207


    I sniggered internally.


    So this was why they invited me out for lunch!


    They wanted to find me a boyfriend. Why? Did my being single somehow bother them? Felix had told


    me yesterday that Colin wasn’t the right guy for me. And today, he wanted me to date someone as


    soon as possible.


    Was he somehow afraid that I’d date Colin for real, so he wanted to hook me up with


    someone else instead?


    Regardless, after the weird speech Felix gave mest night, he wanted to set me up on dates tonight.


    His back–and–forth decision was perplexing, to say the least.


    “What is wrong with the two of you? My love life doesn’t have anything to do with you, so mind your


    own business. Also, I don’t need to go through you before I date someone now, do I? Who do you think


    you are? Stop ttering yourself.”


    Furious, I toppled the ss of water on the table, spilling its contents on the surface.


    “Calm down, Lulu. Lili just wants some reassurance because we used to… I’m not forcing you to find a


    boyfriend right away. But you’re old enough to start looking. I want you to be cared


    for.”


    I almost snorted out loud.


    They were doing this for my own good?


    Oh, these two nosy individuals. Who were they to worry about my love life? Even my parents weren’t


    worried about that yet. What was wrong with them?


    “We used to what? Tell us, Felix. We used to what? And stop using ‘we‘. You and I are not


    that close. If Lc needs reassurance, that’s your problem; not mine. Colin is taking good


    care of me, so don’t you worry about me.


    “Felix, Lc, let this be a warning. Stay away from me and stop telling me what to do with my life. It’s


    annoying!”


    I couldn’t believe that Felix would go this far for Lc.


    They could do what normal couples did and just leave me alone. My rtionship status was none of


    their concern. Did they have too much time on their hands?

    I dropped the gifts I bought on themercial street and left. Felix called out to make me stay, but I


    promptly ignored him.


    I was on the verge of exploding, but suddenly, Colin came from outside and grabbed me. He asked me


    what happened.


    “It’s all your fault. Why did you agree to have lunch with them? Are you working with them. to bully me?


    Urgh!” I swatted Colin’s hand away and bolted out.


    I was so mad.


    What they did made no sense.


    I was minding my own business. I didn’t cross or provoke them. Why did they have toe and ruin


    my mood again and again?

    I didn’t cut ties with them, but it wasn’t because I was meek. It was because I still cherished the time we


    spent growing up together.


    But that had nothing to do with love.


    Infuriated by Felix and Lc, I took out my frustration on Colin and ran back to my school.


    Fortunately, Jesselton College wasn’t too far, so it didn’t take me a long time.


    The corridor was empty as it was break time. I sat in a corner and sulked on my lonesome.


    Colin found me and sat next to me. Pulling me into his arms, he patted my back.


    I knew that he had always been behind me. I was just too mad to talk to him.


    “What happened? Tell me,” Colin patted my back and cooed.


    “They bullied me.” I sniffled, feeling anguished.


    “What did they do? Tell me everything. I’ll avenge you.”


    “Felix said I was single and that made Lc feel very insecure about their rtionship.”


    “What then?”


    “They asked me to find a boyfriend.”


    “Then find one. You’re 22 years old now. It’s time for you to date someone.‘


    “Why should I listen to them? Why should I do what I’m told?” I raised my voice abruptly, which


    frightened Colin.
