Chapter 65
Regardless of our unpleasant past, Felix and I had grown up together.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
But what went around came around, and Felix had brought this situation upon himself.
He was reaping the consequences of his actions.
I went as far as inviting Colin for pizza to discuss whether or not to inform Felix about the situation.
Colin and I sat across from each other at the campus food street’s most popular pizzeria, with two piping
-hot pizzas between us.
“Colin, do you think we should tell Felix?”
This was the heart of my dilemma.
He furrowed his brows and looked at me, his deep black eyes resembling dark gemstones. “Are you close to Lilac?”
“Sort of, I believe?”
“Do you still have feelings for Felix?”
“No, I’ve kicked him out of my world. He’s nothing to me now.”
“Then why are you so conflicted? Are you just bored? Why not focus on your painting instead?” Colin asked sternly, like a disappointed mentor.
I gritted my teeth and remained silent. I only sought his advice, not to be lectured or questioned.
After all, Felix was his brother.
It was fine if he wasn’t aware of the situation, but it didn’t sit well with me that he knew and was simply
indifferent about it.
“It’s about helping others. Put yourself in their shoes, Colin. If it were you, would you rather live in blissful ignorance of being cheated on or face the truth and deal with it accordingly?”
Colin’s striking face darkened at my words, and he playfully tapped my head with a tissue box. “Don’t talk nonsense. I won’t be cheated on. Stop jinxing me, or I might have to teach you a lesson.”

“I’m not talking about you being cheated on! I’m Just using a hypothetical scenario. Don’t take it
personally.”
“No more hypothetical scenarios.”
“Fine, no more scenarios. Just answer this. Should we keep this a secret or reveal it?”
Colin put down the tissue box, thought deeply for a moment, and then said, “He’s blind. He mistook trash
for treasure, and he deserves it.”
“But…” I couldn’t understand Colin’s perspective.
Could the bond between brothers be so superficial that he could witness his own brother getting cheated without any emotional response? It almost appeared as if he was eagerly anticipating a show.
“There’s not

“He’s completely blinded at the moment and won’t even heed my parents‘ advice. How could he trust us? He might even be suspicious of our help and ruin our relationship in the process,” Colin explained.
What he said made sense, but something still didn’t feel right.
Considering our strained relationship over the past few years, it was unlikely that Felix would place his trust in me. He might even perceive my intentions as an attempt to meddle in his relationship with Lilac.
I had to temporarily abandon my naive idea of revealing the truth.
However, for the sake of our shared past, I still felt the need to give him a subtle hint. Whether he would take it or not was up to him.
That night, I spent a long time crafting a message to Felix, suggesting he should video call Lilac more often. After all, no one could replace a boyfriend’s undivided attention.
Felix was taken aback by my unexpected message and responded with a series of trivial topics.
Did he really think I was in the mood for idle chit–chat after all that had happened?
