Chapter 319
Colin stopped tickling me and placed his hands on either side of my body, his forehead against mine. The intoxicating look in his eyes made my heart pound. “Really? Then when will you agree to sleep with me? I’ve been waiting for so long that I’ve almost crippled my
left hand.”
As I realized the inevitable connection between his proposal and crippling his left hand, my face turned tomato red.
Even though I was inexperienced, I knew what he meant. In this age of the internet,
everything was available online. Even if I hadn’t experienced something personally, I had seen and heard enough.
However, it was a little embarrassing for someone to insinuate such things about me. It was the first time it was happening too. I was a shy person.
As I blushed profusely, I felt too embarrassed to look into his eyes. I kept dodging and avoiding them.
Bold words could be spoken easily, but actually doing it was not that simple. I wasn’t mentally prepared for it.
Colin started biting my ear again, his heavy breathing sounding like a gust of wind blowing in my ear.
Why was he so close to me all the time, constantly teasing me? It was really annoying.
“Um, I–I need to use the bathroom.” I found an excuse. As Colin tried to calm down his
excitement, I wriggled out of his embrace and opened the bedroom door. I ignored everything else. I wanted to temporarily escape from this suffocating ambiguity.
Ah! I really didn’t expect this at all. It scared me.
In the living room, Felix was sitting on the couch in a black hoodie and pants. He had a solemn expression. For a moment, I felt like the person sitting there wasn’t the same young man I grew up with, who used to be a bright person. At this moment, the air around him was
dark.
He was pursing his lips tightly. When he saw me open the bedroom door suddenly, he raised his head and stared at me with a strange yet dangerous gaze.

Didn’t Colin say no one would be home? Why did Felix suddenly appear here? Did he not leave the house, or did he come back early?
And what was with that expression on his face?
My mind instantly became confused.
The unease that Colin had just managed to calm down surged up again. The hair on my back. stood up. I felt like there was a cold, slippery snake crawling along every inch of my skin.
“What’s wrong?” Colin quickly got up and came over to me. He held my waist and pulled me into his arms. His gaze froze when it passed over Felix.
“Didn’t you go to the reunion party? Why are you back now?” Colin asked in a deep voice while patting my back soothingly with his large hand.
Smirking, Felix picked up a cigarette. He lit it and took a huge breath before exhaling. Turning his head toward us, his eyes fell on Colin’s arm on my waist. His eyes were as black as two bottomless pits.
“Something came up, and they didn’t come.
I had never seen such a Felix before. Every part of him seemed filled with gloominess.
Previously, he was like the moonlight, clear and bright. He was just not as warm as the sun.
It was what made him likable. Now, he seemed like a black void that could swallow
everything.
He was staring at me so intensely, as if he would bury me the very next moment and disappear without a trace.
I didn’t know if he was planning something, but I felt very uneasy.
I clenched my fists tightly, and Colin noticed my tension. He gently pried my clasped fingers open and interlocked them with his own before saying, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
“Okay. I’ll go to the bathroom.”
