He lowered his gaze and said something to the guy at his table before striding toward me. 
Colin was indeed tall, and his imposing figure was something I hadn’t noticed before. 
Felix, on the contrary, wasn’t short. He stood over six feet tall and had a handsome appearance. He was 
elegant, slender, and fair–skinned. He usually kept to himself and carried a distant demeanor, making 
him seemingly out of reach for everyone. 
However, Colin had broad shoulders and a robust physique. Even in a shirt, one could see his well- 
defined muscular lines beneath. 
His thick eyebrows and distinctive features provided a strong sense of security. To be frank, he was a 
rugged man that any girl would want to rely on. 
He was really tall, around six feet and three inches. At five feet and seven inches, plus a slight slope, I 
barely even reached his shoulders. 
“I was just about to welcome you,” Colin said with a smile. 
“Colin, did you grow taller again? You’re so tall.” I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth. My 
face flushed instantly. 
Colin was already 20 years old. How could he possibly grow taller? That was such a foolish thing to say. 
Colin seemed momentarily stunned by my unexpected comment. Then, he gradually broke into a smile reminiscent of a charming yet dangerous vampire. 
I stood there, dumbfounded. While I always knew he was good–looking, I never expected that his smile 
could be so enchanting. 
His eyes resembled a galaxy of stars. 
“Do I look good?” Colin asked in a deep voice. 
“Yeah, you look good.” I instinctively nodded. 
Today, I only realized that I was undeniably obsessed with appearances. 
Finally, my goofy demeanor cracked a smile on his face, and I could sense the enticing resonance in the laughter echoing from his chest.

Colin was truly extraordinary. 
“Colin, bring the girl over. The barbecue is sizzling.” 
He led me over and introduced me to everyone. 
“Wow, when did Lincoln University get such a stunning junior? How did I not know about this?” one of 
Colin’s friends exclaimed. 
“Colin, why didn’t you introduce her to us earlier?” another guy with a cute smile added. 
“Excuse me, do you happen to have sisters at home? It doesn’t matter whether they’re biological or 
stepsisters,” a guy in a cap playfully added. 
Then he turned to Colin and said, “Colin, let’s not be friends. Can I be your best friend–in–law instead?” 
Colin laughed and scolded him, firmly stating that he wouldn’t tolerate anyone subjecting a talented girl 
like me to such teasing remarks. 
I nervously sweated in the palms of my hands. 
Even though I had an outgoing personality and welcomed friendly banter from friends, it was my first time meeting this group of men. I felt genuinely uncomfortable. 
Aside from my dad, the guys closest to me were Felix and a few other boys who admired me in high 
school. 
But during those times, my focus was solely on Felix. Regardless of how great others might have been, I didn’t really notice or appreciate their unique qualities.
