Colin gave me a wicked smile and said, "Of course. Otherwise, I''d have to find someone else to help


    me with my release three times a night. I wouldn''t want to soil myself, or my darling would find me


    repulsive."


    Here we go again! What kind of talk was this!


    Was dirtying his pants three times a night something to boast about? He was unting it shamelessly.


    I felt awkward and couldn''t respond.


    I had originally wanted to tease him, but now I ended up being teased by him. I was the one


    embarrassed now.


    In terms of witty banter, I still had room for improvement. No matter how many times I counter-attacked,


    it always ended in failure. I was hopeless. Hearing about my return, Jade and Zara came over early in


    the morning and dragged me out with them.


    It was hard for us to meet up in person nowadays. Much of ourmunication was done through the


    inte. It was only natural for us to gather and have some fun when the opportunity to meet arose.


    Young women of our age didn''t choose to go to amusement parks or aquariums anymore. Those had


    be too childish for us. After all, we weren''t teenagers anymore. Now, our main destination was


    major shopping malls where we could shop and enjoy meals together.


    After a whole morning of shopping, our feet were sore, but we had a fruitful haul. We were nning to


    have lunch at a newly opened restaurant. Zara drove, so we put all the shopping bags in the car and


    decided to walk over to the restaurant. Just as we started to walk, we saw someone we really didn''t


    want to see after turning a corner-Lc.


    How long had it been? If it weren''t for today''s chance encounter, I would''ve forgotten about her


    existence. I didn''t expect her to still be in Southsville. The weather in August was really hot, but Lc


    was wearing a zippered long-sleeved sports shirt and beige long pants that covered up her feet. I felt


    hot just looking at her. Her long hair had been cut short. It was messy and hanging over her shoulders.


    Her delicate face was covered in tear stains.


    As we passed by a narrow alley, we saw her crying and pulling on the sleeve of a man opposite her.


    She was talking, but I couldn''t hear what she said due to the distance.


    I only saw that the man seemed impatient. He pped her hand away and pushed her before raising


    his voice to curse at her, telling her to stay away.


    Lc staggered backward a little, almost falling. But after steadying herself, she rushed forward again.


    She was not discouraged and tried to throw herself into the man''s arms.


    This time, the man was really angry. He raised his hand and pped her hard. The sound of the p


    rang in my ears.


    "Lc, I''ll say this onest time. It''s impossible for us to get married. My parents disagree, and I don''t


    want to. You''re cunning and treacherous. You only care about material gains. I''ll never marry you no


    matter what.


    "Stop pestering me. It''s annoying and disgusting. If youe to me again, I won''t hesitate to expose all


    the filthy things you''ve done to everyone in your school."


    After that, the man walked away, passing by me. I finally saw his face. It was Shawn Dixon, Lc''s


    childhood sweetheart.


    I hadn''t seen him for more than half a year. He seemed to have lost weight and looked too thin.


    He probably didn''t expect to see me as well. He nced at me in surprise before walking away without


    stopping. He stood tall with a straight back and left without any hesitation.


    In the past, whenever he saw me, it was always with a look of hatred as if he wanted to kill me. Today,


    he chose to ignore my presence.

    It seemed that something had happened between Lc and Shawn. He no longer hated me because of


    that.


    From his words, it could be concluded that besides Felix and himself, there was another man entangled


    with Lc. It seemed that Lc''s private life was quite messy. Otherwise, Shawn wouldn''t have used


    such disgusting and insulting words.


    In fact, Shawn had some genuine feelings for Lc back then. I didn''t know what she did to make him


    change his feelings.


    Seeing Lc sitting on the ground and crying while covering her face, I couldn''t help but sigh. Life was


    full of ups and downs. Back then, she betrayed Felix and treated him poorly. Now, she was tasting what


    it was like to be abandoned. The world was truly fair.


    I never thought about kicking her when she was down, but almost all the bad things that happened to


    me were directly or indirectly rted to her. So, I really couldn''t feel anything toward her, not even pity.
