Chapter 212
In the end, Colin almost burst out in tears. He turned his head to not let me see his reddened
eyes.
My heart started to tear in pain..
Love should be built from genuine feelings. I wasn’t sure if I could turn the sibling love I had for Colin into romantic love. Plus, I didn’t know if I still had the guts to love someone after Felix.
Although I did want to try dating Colin before, I didn’t anymore because I had already regarded Colin as my brother.
I was scared I would lose my brother if we broke up one day.
However, there was a voice telling me that I wouldn’t know if I didn’t try. The voice urged me to be brave and give it a try.
Even after pondering for a while, I couldn’t make up my mind.
Colin patted my head and said affectionately, “You must be hungry. Let’s go and eat. Just forget about what I just said, okay? Pretend that it didn’t even happen. I’m still your brother, and you’re still my sister who I witnessed growing up. I’ll still take care of you in the future in the way you can accept.”
There was no way I wasn’t touched. My heart wasn’t made from steel, after all.
My heart was soft and mellow.
I couldn’t ask for more than to be treasured like this.
However, I couldn’t accept him right now as I wasn’t sure of my feelings. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to Colin.
“Colin, can you give me some time to think it through? You’ve confessed to me, but I need some time to confirm my feelings. I’ll observe you during this period of time while I decide. “I was staring right into Colin’s eyes, so I saw it when they lit up.
Colin looked at me in joy. He wanted to hug me, but he hesitated and withdrew in the end. His hands dangled by his sides before he put them behind his back comically. “Are you serious? I didn’t mishear, did I?”
“That’s right. I’m serious, and you didn’t mishear anything. I need to think about it as I’m

not sure if I really like you. Are you willing to wait for a while? I can’t promise you what my decision will be, but I promise I’ll consider it carefully.”
Colin was happy. He was like a grown man experiencing love for the first time. He tried not to smile, but he ended up smiling even bigger. His reddened eyes brightened, and I saw myself being reflected in his orbs.
“I’m willing to wait for my entire life as long as it’s for you. As for my observation period, I’ll make sure you’ll be satisfied.” He reached out to grab a handful of hair at the back of his neck. The mole at the corner of his eyes seemed to glint, and happiness seemed to overflow from his eyes.
“Let’s keep things the way they were before while I make my decision, okay?”
Colin nodded.
Then, my stomach grumbled. Colin laughed and brought me to eat.
We walked side–by–side out of the corridor. Out of habit, he reached out to hold my hand. However, I quickly dodged away when our fingers touched. I felt my face burning.
Colin looked at my reddened face triumphantly, laughing devilishly. “Lulu, you’re getting embarrassed because of me. I’m sure we’ll have a beautiful ending to ourselves.”
I didn’t dare to look at myself as I silently cursed at my behavior. I had held his hands. countless times before. Yet I was getting shy after he confessed to me.
