    While talking to me, Hannah couldn’t resist but nce over at Felix.


    Following her gaze, I looked over to where Felix was sitting. He was tucked away in a corner, sitting in


    the shadows. There was a subtle smirk on his face as he asionally nced down at his phone. With


    his striking facial features, he exuded an air of grace.


    He suddenlyughed after seeing something funny. A smile yed at the corners of his eyes, and


    there was a hint of mischief in his


    gaze.


    He could easily be described as a heartthrob. When coupled with his indifferent and aloof demeanor,


    he would naturally attract women’s attention.


    I observed Hannah in admiration as she gazed at him with infatuation.


    After Hannah noticed I was staring, she suddenly blushed and smiled shyly. Then, she hid her blushing


    cheeks in between her arms.


    Felix remained oblivious to all of this, cing all his attention on his phone. It seemed that all the


    enthusiasm in the room had nothing to do with him.


    After fixing the general direction of the performance, Hannah took the lead in proposing. that the


    research institute needed to hold a performance. Plus, it had to be performed by


    those in the room.


    When the others heard that they needed to perform, they ignored the juniors‘ persuasions.


    and left.


    Felix and I were the only ones left who belonged to the research institute.


    Hannah insisted we represented the first–year graduate students to perform something, even if it was


    just poetry or nursery rhyme. As I couldn’t reject her, I could only agree to recite poetry.

    I thought it was settled. I could get out of it without putting much effort into it.


    However, Felix suddenly said, “The orientation party happens once a year. It isn’t right for us to do


    things so simply. Why don’t we partner up? I can y the guitar while you choose a song to sing.”


    Before I could turn him down, Hannah took the lead to cheer and p. She kept praising the seniors


    from the graduate institute, saying we were the best and that we were cooperative. She also said they


    were so lucky to meet us.

    I wasn’t someone who could turn someone down easily, not to mention with everyone now cheering.


    So, I could only agree. It wasn’t a big deal as it was just singing. I used to sing. karaoke with my best


    friend for the entire night back then.


    I had a few songs I could sing well, so I would just choose something that I wouldn’t slip up.


    Although I was disgusted and worried about partnering with Felix, it was just a


    performance. Everything would return to normal after the performance. It wouldn’t affect anything at all.


    If Lc threw a fit over it, I could just quit the performance and return to my drawings.


    Although I agreed, I still felt ufortable. I was dissatisfied with how Felix always took the lead in


    things and how I always had to say yes. 1


    It was the same five years ago, and nothing had changed.


    I was truly annoyed. The resistance and disgust I was trying hard to suppress were about to


    surface.


    While I was irked, Felix sat next to me with the excuse of discussing the song. He pulled up his phone


    and asked me to choose a song.


    “Let’s choose this song. It’s new and quite emotionally–provoking. Listen to it.” After saying that, he


    pulled out one of his earphones and was about to put it in my ear. Looking at how natural his actions


    were, he made it seem like we were still 18.


    Feeling ufortable, I avoided him and raised my eyebrows. “I’m wearing Bluetooth earphones.”


    His hand paused in mid–air, and he seemed embarrassed.
