When it was time for lunch, Colin suggested that we have a meal together since we had bumped into


    each other.


    Since it was still the holiday season, it was a good chance to get together.


    Felix said he had to go back to school for something and asked Hannah if she would go back with him.


    She rubbed her stomach but followed him into a cab without hesitation.


    Just before getting into the car, she nced back at me. I gave her an encouraging smile. She returned


    the smile knowingly and nodded solemnly at me.


    I hoped that Hannah''s innocence and brightness could bring the old bright and upright Felix back.


    "Young people really grow up very fast."


    I sighed, earning a smile and a sidelong nce from Colin.


    "Why are you worrying about them like a mother? Let''s go to eat. What do you want?"


    "Anything''s fine. I''m not too hungry."


    Colin chose a small but clean-looking restaurant. The waiter got us a rtively quiet booth. As we sat


    facing each other, waiting for our meal, I realized I hadn''t told Mom that I was not going home.


    I took out my phone and thought about how to tell her. However, Colin said that he had already


    informed my parents.

    "What did they say? Are they disappointed?"


    "They were a little disappointed, but they didn''t say much. They just asked me to take care of you and


    said that they would be assured with me around."


    "Colin, you''re really spoiling me." Recalling Lc''s words, I agreed that I had many people doting on


    me. My parents doted on me at home, and Colin had been spoiling me too during all these years of


    studying away from home.


    I hardly had to do anything on my own. In summary, they doted on me so much that I was almost


    turning into a useless person.


    "Spoiling you is good, you know. Wouldn''t it be great if I could spoil you into bing a big baby?


    Then, you''ll have to rely on me and won''t leave me."


    "But I''d feel useless," I half-leaned in on the table and said somewhat regretfully.


    Thinking about Jade and the others who handled most things on their own and watching them boldly


    venture into the world was really awe-inspiring. Actually, Lc''s words did affect me a little.


    Colin reached out and pinched my chin before saying, "Nonsense. Your paintings are the best, you


    have excellent grades at school, and you even y the guitar superbly. How could you be useless?


    Don''t belittle yourself."


    I pondered for a moment and felt that he did have a point. But growth was necessary. I couldn''t always


    rely on others without giving back. "Mom and Dad are getting older, and you''re much older than me.


    You''ll definitely need someone to take care of you in the future. I''ll learn to take care of people too.


    "You''re taking care of me now, and I''ll take care of you when you''re old. So, don''t worry, I''ll learn to


    make soup.


    Colin was annoyed by my words and threatened me by pinching my cheeks. His tone was fierce, but in


    reality, he only pinched me lightly. "You''re getting bolder. How dare you say that I''m old?"


    I was innocent. That was not what I meant. I just purely wanted to take care of him in the future.


    We were having a good time when someone suddenly rushed into the restaurant. When he saw Colin,


    his eyes lit up as he rushed to our table.


    He was panting heavily as he said, "Mr. White, could you please not put your phone on silent? I''ve


    been looking for you everywhere for over an hour. I''m really exhausted."


    The man''s face looked young and lively. It was obvious that he was a freshman.


    His words made me chuckle. It also made Colin''s usual stern face soften slightly, showing a hint of


    laughter Then, he took out his phone to find that he had dozens of missed calls and voice messages


    from the young man.
