Chapter 134
Although Jesselton College was still a few hundred miles away from Southsville, it was much closer compared to Lincoln University. There was a flight every day, making it convenient for round trips.
On the day of our farewell dinner, my besties and I drank beer, white wine, and fruit wine. Each of us got so drunk that we lost our bearings. We huddled together and cried as if we would never meet again.
It was Colin who carried me back to the dorm that day. I shamelessly vomited all over him.
Four years had passed, and I was already 22 years old. I was no longer the little girl who would cry all night because of Felix.
When I met him on campus, I greeted him casually with indifference.
I never told him about going to Jesselton College for graduate school. Over the past two years, our interactions were limited to social media and my occasional return home.
His relationship with Lilac was good. Although she was still pretentious whenever we met, she treated Felix well. I had gradually let go of what happened in the past.
One afternoon, I was wandering around campus to familiarize myself with the surroundings when I ran into Felix.
He was still as slender as ever, with a handsome face and fair skin. But I felt nothing toward him anymore.
He was pleasantly surprised by my sudden appearance and was even happier when he heard that I was studying at Jesselton College. He even insisted on treating me to a meal.
I agreed calmly and had a meal with him in the cafeteria.
Now,
he was just a former high school classmate of mine and a neighbor of over 20 years.
There was nothing more.
Having a meal with a former classmate was nothing special, and it was not good to avoid it- especially in public.
Since childhood, Felix had excelled academically. That was why he was also offered
postgraduate studies.

Lilac passed the exam and was also studying postgraduate in Jesselton.

During the meal, Lilac came over as well. She sat beside Felix. She still had that soft and weak appearance. She still teared up easily, showing no signs of progress.
When she heard that I would be studying for three years in Jesselton College, her hostility toward me deepened.
Being in the same school, it was only natural to bump into each other regularly. But this also increased the chances of annoying incidents.
I saw Felix several times in the cafeteria. He would naturally line up for food and ask me to
find a table.
I never listened to him and queued on my own. I sat on my own as well, trying to keep my distance from him as much as possible.
We had differed in our paths. There was no need to force ourselves together.
Once, during peak hours at the cafeteria, I couldn’t find a place to sit. Hence, I reluctantly sat
across from Felix.
Before I could even take a bite, Lilac came gasping for breath. She stood beside me without saying a word and just weakly stared at me as if I had wronged her in some way.
I was really annoyed, so I left with my meal. I just stood by the window to finish my lunch.
I didn’t know how Felix explained it to Lilac. But after that, she treated me like a thief whenever she saw me. She was always on guard against me.
No matter how Felix tried to contact me afterward, I never responded.
After all, he had a partner, and I didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for myself.
Although I knew there would be various troubles studying at the same school as Felix and Lilac, this had become too annoying. I couldn’t help but regret coming to Jesselton College.
Just as I was thinking about whether to ask Colin to help me transfer to another school, I encountered someone whom I had thought about but didn’t expect to meet.
