My mood suddenly became very bright. Even the stars outside the window looked exceptionally beautiful, and the wind carried a sweet scent.
Instead of replying, I placed my phone on my chest and drifted off to sleep peacefully.
My extremely accurate biological clock woke me up at 6:00 am sharp.
The sky was already bright, with the corners of the window slightly fogged up. The sky was clear, indicating that it had just rained lightly.
Colin’s message came at 7:00 am, “Come down. I’ll take you out for breakfast.”
I grabbed the large bag containing my materials and headed downstairs. When I reached the entrance of the apartment, I hesitated to take a step further. I saw Colin’s handsome figure through the transparent glass door.
Colin taking me out for meals was a regular occurrence back at Lincoln University. It was almost like a fixed scenery. All the women in school knew that the person they admired had a sister–like friend whom he cherished a lot and whom he doted on every day.
Back then, I felt extremely calm every time I walked side–by–side with him.
But today, I couldn’t take that step so easily. I felt that something was different.
In fact, some things had indeed changed.
He used to be someone like my brother.
Now, he was the man who could possibly become my boyfriend.
There was simply no way to compare him with a boyfriend.
Colin probably saw me and sent another message urging me to hurry up.
Suppressing my irregularly beating heart, I finally mustered the courage to step out of the apartment building. Suddenly, everything seemed brighter, and I subconsciously sniffed.
I prayed that I wouldn’t get a nosebleed. That would be so embarrassing.
But it wasn’t my fault. Colin was just too handsome.
He stood under the morning light like a blazing flame, bursting into my sight.
He was just less than ten steps away from me. He was dressed simply but neatly, with his

short hair casually covering his forehead. He held his car keys in his left hand and a large bunch of purple daisies in his right.
The flower petals seemed to have the morning dew. His deep dark eyes were adorned with countless stars.
The language of Daisy meant a love hidden in the heart.
Colin was once again telling me that he loved me in his own way!
Under the morning light, with his handsome face, his beauty surpassed all else in the world.
Several young women passing by whispered to each other excitedly.
“Isn’t that the woman who played the guitar yesterday? She’s so beautiful and cool”
“She’s the belle of the research institute. She’s so pretty. Many guys in our class like her and even talk about confessing to her.”
“Am I mistaken? Isn’t that the new lecturer, the master of watercolor painting? What’s going on? I must have used up all my luck to meet the grand artist here.”
“Oh my god, I ship them. Quick, take a photo.”
Colin, who was usually calm and composed, smiled approvingly at the group of women. This caused a wave of exaggerated screams. A few particularly lively ones even pretended to faint while clutching their hearts.
I felt even more embarrassed, my cheeks burning hot.
How could I go out like this with so many people watching? I really wanted to turn around and run back. I wanted to go into hiding.
It was just breakfast. Why was he making such a scene!
But Colin would always be Colin. He seemed unconcerned about everything around him.
When he saw me timidly standing at the door, he smiled and walked over to me with long strides amidst all the attention.
He handed me the flowers and pulled me out of my hiding place. “Good morning. I personally picked these just now. Do you like them?”
