Chapter 231
I strolled around for approximately an hour before returning to the apartment. I had nearly finished half of my cotton candy.
I was finally happy, but then someone abruptly grabbed my wrist. As I was caught off guard, I staggered and nearly fell. Terrified, I rapidly regained my composure.
It happened so suddenly that I instantly tried to break free. But my mind reacted faster than my body, and the unique scent made me immediately recognize who the other party was.
Terrified and enraged, I couldn’t help but curse, “Why are you pulling me? If you’re sick in the head, go to a doctor! Don’t get up to your crazy antics here!”
Felix was carrying two guitars. He took a half–step back and stood still. His good–looking features were slightly stiff, and he wore a gloomy expression that showed his dissatisfaction.
Frowning, he said, “I didn’t expect you to be such an irresponsible person.”
I couldn’t help but be angry.
He was the one who was irresponsible! Did he not know this? Was I irresponsible? How could he say that?
wanted to quarrel with him and discuss what had transpired over the years to determine who was the irresponsible one.
Despite my anger, I remained calm. After all, I was the one who decided to give up the performance. I wanted to reason with Felix, but it wasn’t the right time.
I sneered as I resisted my shifting feelings. “Don’t always blame me. Are you so confused that you don’t know who’s the innocent one here? I was blind back then, and it wasn’t just me either. None of us realized what a big jerk you are!”
Felix froze. He then lowered his head, his wrath subsiding.
For a moment, I noticed redness in his eyes. After speaking, I also felt my words were too harsh and regretted it a little. 1
I was angry, but I had no intention of being aggressive or making verbal attacks. I was just a little upset, and my words came out a jumbled mess. My intention wasn’t to hurt him but to find a way out for myself.
The strong air around Felix faded, and he showed a touch of sadness that I found hard to
grasp.

Even after five years, I hadn’t learned to be reckless and give people hell just because of my
bad mood.
After saying those words, I felt a sense of regret and began to reflect on myself discreetly. Perhaps I made a mistake from the moment I agreed to perform with him.
The responsibility for this lay with me since I had thought things too simply.
Previously, I believed in having a selfless heart and an open mind. However, when I applied it to people and communication, I realized that a clear conscience was useless if someone wanted to think badly of me. Many people in this world would readily distort facts.
This proved that Felix and I should stay apart until we died. That was the only way we could both have peace..
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that,” I apologized.
Felix raised his head in astonishment. I noticed his reddish eyes, which made me even more guilty. 1
It seemed that I would have to be a good person throughout my life considering my temper and soft heart. I could only be bullied instead of bullying others.
He combed his fingers through his hair indifferently, tugging the hair on his forehead. He said mockingly, “What are you sorry for? You’re right. It’s not just you. I also sometimes feel like I’m blind. Otherwise, I wouldn’t…”
He then muttered something in a hushed tone. I wasn’t standing near him, so I couldn’t hear it.
“I retract what I said, but I won’t perform anymore. We were just practicing. I didn’t do anything else, but I was subjected to…
“Okay, I won’t say anymore. You understand that I don’t wish to face such things. Perform by yourself. One of your talents is to play guitar and sing solo. You can perform well even without me.”
