Chapter 127 
Julia came back the next morning. The sound of her luggage on the dormitory floor woke us up from our deep sleep. 

Actually, I had been awake for quite some time, but Queenie was grabbing my pajamas and I couldn’t bear to push her hand away. That was why I just lay there with her. 
Unexpectedly, I fell asleep again, sleeping even more soundly than I did before. 
Colin had sent a message saying he was bringing us food, but I used the excuse of still being half asleep to refuse him. 
If it weren’t for Julia coming back, I reckoned we would have slept until the afternoon. 
“You two lazy pigs, why are you still sleeping at this hour? I had to carry the luggage upstairs by myself. How heartless!” Julia grumbled angrily. 
The two of us quickly got up and helped Julia unpack her things without even washing up. 
Colin’s lunch arrived on time. 
The three of us sat around the table eating lunch. Queenie wasn’t in the mood to speak, so I explained what happened and asked Julia what to do next. 
To me, love was quite sacred and worth looking forward to. 
Of course, money was important too as we couldn’t live without it. But love was precious as well. Poetry even said that love was priceless. One may only encounter true love once in a lifetime, so it would be a shame to miss it. 
Plus, last night, Colin said Flynn had been lying in bed for several days. This meant that he 
had come back to chase after Queenie, and he must be furious about that incident as well. He 
had probably tried to explain to Queenie, but she wouldn’t listen. This left him at a loss, and he was tormenting himself. 
He was willing to come after Queenie and make himself so miserable due to that incident, which showed that he had feelings for Queenie. As for why he didn’t explain to Queenie face- to–face, it was indeed quite puzzling. 
I couldn’t understand the world of the wealthy, but I did feel sorry for Queenie. I had been hurt before, so I could empathize with her current feelings. 
Julia was the oldest among the three of us and was also the most decisive. Queenie and I

relied on her a lot for many things. 
Of course, Julia’s and my thoughts could only represent us. The final decision was up to Queenie, but we’d support her unconditionally. 
However, it was about personal emotions this time. After thinking for some time, Julia couldn’t come up with a suitable solution. 
Only the person facing the situation would know best what to do. 
The three of us huddled on one bed, discussing until the sun set. Besides angrily cursing Flynn as a scumbag, we didn’t come up with anything else. 
Queenie cried and stopped, then cried again several times until her tears dried. 
When she mentioned the moment that young woman tiptoed to reach Flynn, she tried to wipe her eyes several times, only to find them dry. Unable to hold back, she collapsed on the bed and wailed. 
To cheer her up, Julia came up with a good idea. “Let’s forget about everything and just go with the flow. Love is not something that can be forced. Let’s just put that shameless jerk 
aside. 
“To celebrate our sisterhood and the start of the new semester, let’s go to a bar tonight. It’s a lively place, so it’ll be a good change of mood for Queenie.” 
Hearing Julia say this, my spirits lifted too. 
I often heard other classmates talk about how dreamy the lights were at the bar, how diverse the type of alcohol was, how good they tasted, how exciting the music was, and how many handsome guys there were. (1) 
I had always wanted to go and have fun. It was just that Colin was too strict with me. Whenever I mentioned going to a bar, he would scold me with a dark expression. He said it was dangerous for young women to go to such places. 
Even when I was at home, there were several opportunities to go with my classmates. But my mom never allowed me and forced everyone to change our place of gathering
