Chapter 123
“I’m so tired, I don’t want to go out. I just want to take a shower and go to bed. I woke up too early today. I’m feeling sleepy already.” I lazily slouched in my seat and yawned deeply. I openly admired the stunning man beside me.
Colin was the type of person who easily attracted others, both in appearance and in personality.
Outwardly, he exuded refined elegance and wisdom. Inwardly, there was a seductive charm hidden within.
He was like a beautiful flower with multiple facets. I wondered which lucky woman would own this flower in the future.
But when I thought about him having a sister–in–law who would pester him all day and that he wouldn’t be able to focus solely on me as he did now, I felt a little jealous.
Indeed, a sister–in–law and a younger sister were natural enemies.
Colin glanced at me sideways with a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Do you like my face this much? But you’re not allowed to skip dinner. Tell me what you want to eat. I’ll have it delivered to your dorm.”
“There’s really no need to do that, Colin. I’ve eaten on the plane. I’m not hungry.” I yawned again, demonstrating just how tired I was.
“No, that won’t do. Be obedient. Take a shower when we get back. By the time you’re done, the food will probably be there too. Oh, and make sure to blow–dry your hair. And remember your jacket when you pick up the food downstairs so that you won’t catch a cold.”
“Okay, got it. You know, Colin, sometimes, I feel like you’re not like my brother but my
mom.”
Colin narrowed his eyes. He put his hand on top of my head in a threatening way, but his voice remained low and gentle as he said, “Brat, how dare you tease me? You’re looking for trouble, aren’t you?”
Of course, Colin was just joking. How could he bear to discipline such a cute woman like me!
As I opened the door of my dorm room, Queenie tore off the face mask on her face and came over to help me with my luggage.
She asked as she took my luggage, “Luna, you must’ve been very kind in your past lives. You

have my Prince Charming taking such good care of you.”
She had seen everything I did downstairs.
Fortunately, Colin and I had always acted like siblings. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be like a live broadcast with her narrating my life?
“When are you going to fix this voyeurism habit of yours? If you like peeping so much, go peep at your boyfriend, Flynn. Why do you like to look at Colin? You keep calling him your prince charming. Aren’t you afraid of Flynn getting jealous?”
We hadn’t seen each other for the whole winter holidays. Although we had a few video calls during New Year’s, it couldn’t be compared to meeting face–to–face.
I said it casually because of her teasing.
I had an innocent sibling–like relationship with Colin, but she just casually twisted it. Of course, I could just tease her in return about her relationship with Flynn, the man who had pinned her against a wall to kiss her.
But as soon as the words left my mouth, Queenie paused in her actions of opening the suitcase. Her expression turned bitter.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. It’s just that… we broke up.” She forced a bitter smile.
“Broke up? Didn’t you just start dating not long ago? Why? You were in a relationship, not a casual fling. How could you just break up like that? There must be a reason.
“Queenie, we’ve only been apart for the holidays for less than two months, and you’ve already broken up?”
She remained silent as she helped me take out my clothes, her deep desolation making my heart ache.
After looking at her for a while, I noticed her face was swollen and her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s. She had clearly cried for a long time.
I snatched the clothes from her hands and tossed them aside. Then, I pulled her to sit on my chair and reached out to touch her cold face. “What happened? If it’s not confidential, you can tell me. Don’t keep it all to yourself.”
