Chapter 249
This morning’s incident was like a pebble that shattered the calm of the pond. It left me disoriented throughout the morning class. I aimlessly followed the crowd out of the classroom afterward.
I never imagined that just having breakfast would stir up such a commotion, making the whole school aware of my and Colin’s relationship.
If we were to escalate to an actual romantic relationship, it would just blow the roof off the
school.
Along the way, I was subjected to curious stares. A freshman even stood on a flower bed and shouted over the crowd to me, “Luna, you’re an inspiration to all the women in school. You have to secure the heartthrob and be happy!”
The whole school was abuzz with the rumor. Faced with such well–meaning blessings, all I could do was nod in deep gratitude.
After finally escaping the fangirls and fanboys, I saw Felix coming toward me.
He was alone, dressed in a simple tracksuit, looking tall and lean. He was approaching me
slowly.
My heart started throbbing, and my eyes felt uncomfortably swollen.
He stopped in front of me with a cold expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked, clutching the books to my chest and stepping back.
It wasn’t that I was cowardly, but if he started spouting something unpleasant, I would
retaliate.
I was almost someone’s girlfriend now. I didn’t want any rumors that could upset my future boyfriend.
“Lulu, are you really with my brother?” His tone and eyes were cold.
I retorted, “Is that a problem? What does it have to do with who I’m with?”
Felix’s expression changed dramatically, and a storm was brewing in his eyes. He stepped forward, attempting to grab my hand, but I dodged. However, he moved in closer in desperation.
Looking up, I saw a fleeting fury and disarray in his eyes. “Don’t avoid me, Lulu. Break up

with my brother, will you? You’re not suitable for each other.
“It doesn’t have to be me, but if you want a boyfriend, I have many outstanding friends. You can choose anyone but my brother. Please?”
It was his idea for me to get a boyfriend, claiming it was for my own good.
Now that I was about to get one, he was persuading me to break up. What was Felix trying to do? What was all that in his eyes just now?
Regardless of his intentions, he had no right to meddle in my affairs.
When I gave him the chance to be part of my life, he declined. Now, he had no say.
“Lulu, I know I hurt you before by suggesting you get a boyfriend, so you just want to spite me. I regret it now. Telling you to find a boyfriend was the biggest mistake I’ve made in
years.
“I’ve been trying to make up for it. I genuinely care about you. Surely, you understand my feelings by now. Everything in the past was my mistake. I was blind and failed to realize my own feelings.
“Now that I’ve realized my mistake, please give me a chance to make amends. Just this once.
“Don’t get together with my brother. Leave him. Your age gap alone makes you incompatible. Don’t ruin your life just to spite me. Lulu, break up with Colin, okay?”
I looked at Felix speechlessly, finding his attempt to justify himself utterly ridiculous.
He thought I was with Colin out of revenge, but it was far from the truth.
Was he overestimating himself, or was he too confident about the naive feelings I once had for him?
After all the irreversible harm, it was shameless of him to say such things.
