Chapter 143
I walted a while after I sent the message, but Colin still hadn’t replied.
Such a situation was a rare case in the past four years.
Apart from when he sent a love letter to Jasmine, he had never failed to reply to
me.
When I considered making a video call to Colin, Matthew sent me a voice call request instead.
Upon answering the call, I could hear his clear laughter. He was obviously in a good mood. “Why is your voice hoarse? Did you just get up?”
I scratched my messy hair, covered my mouth, and yawned. “It’s a good thing you made a voice call. If it were a video call, I wouldn’t have answered it. It’d damage my glorious image.”
Matthew chuckled. “What do you prefer for lunch? You choose it. I’ll book the place.”
I hesitated.
I thought it was just the two of us when I followed him last night, but I didn’t expect it to be a gathering. One or two of his friends even targeted me. Although he took good care of me throughout the process, I felt unpleasant. At least for me, it was a bad experience.
His circle was so dazzling that I was overwhelmed.
If I could choose, I would prefer Colin’s simple life. It’d just be two people sitting across from each other and enjoying a pizza together.
Moreover, when those people asked Matthew who I was, he skipped the topic without introducing me to them.
I didn’t know if he cared what I would think or if he felt it was unnecessary. Anyway, I didn’t care much, but I felt uncomfortable.
“I want to have lunch at the cafeteria and familiarize myself with the

environment around the college. You don’t have to join me.”
“How can I? I’m working hard to pursue you. You can’t block my way forward, You shouldn’t think of breaking my determination,”
Unexpectedly, he was humorous, I chuckled, “Don’t talk nonsense,”
“I’m serious,” He made his tone more solemn and continued, “I’m not talking nonsense. I’m serious about pursuing Luna the Beauty, Get up now, I’ll pick you up in half an hour,”
“Isn’t there a food street near the college? I heard from my classmates that the spaghetti there is super delicious. How about we go to try it?”
Matthew didn’t answer me right away, I wondered if he was busy or thinking,
I added, “If you have something to do, you can go ahead. I’ll go with my classmates,”
“I’m not that busy. The food street is good. I’ll go to you now.”
I put on a pure white dress. Since the weather was a bit cloudy, I added thin outerwear. Then, I loosely braided my long hair and arranged it to my back. I on flat leather shoes.
I put
I stood before the full–length mirror and admired myself, feeling my outfit was a
bit retro.
When Matthew called me, I opened the door and went out. I happened to meet Helen, who was standing at the door sullenly and taking out the keys. Seeing me going out, she snorted coldly and walked past me as if she had just quarreled with
someone.
I had long been used to her cold treatment. We were just roommates. Since she was unfriendly, I wouldn’t take the initiative to get close to her. I just needed to live my own life.
Coming downstairs, I saw another scene that gave me a headache.
Matthew was standing where he was yesterday, waiting for me. He held the car keys in his left hand, and his right hand was in his trouser pocket.

Felix was a few steps away from him, and there was a chill all over his body. His right hand was clenched into a fist.
They were like ferocious beasts guarding their territory, both of them unwilling to step back.
If it were a competition, Matthew might win by half a point as Felix had wronged
him back then.
Felix had already lost in terms of momentum. But whether he lost was out of my consideration. As for what he was doing here, I never thought to ask him. I had no interest in knowing.
