Chapter 77
“Are you satisfied with what you see?” Colin noticed my stare and glanced at me with a teasing smile.
He loved to smile. Sometimes, It was as refreshing as a spring breeze, and at other times, it was warm
and gentle. It always made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would eagerly admire his smile, reluctant
to part with it.
On the other hand, Felix was always Indifferent. Even when he smiled at me, it felt distant and seemingly Impossible to gauge his true feelings. The point was that he rarely smiled at me.
How should I put it? Felix was like a fragile piece of art that was more suitable to be displayed somewhere to be admired. Colin, however, was like the pillow by your bedside, making you want his company all the time.
I remembered the day we first met: Colin teased me the same way he did now. What did I say back then?
Oh, I remembered. I was deceived by his looks and foolishly said he was handsome.
However, Colin was genuinely good–looking. It was the kind of clean, pure, and pleasing–to–the–eye good-
looking.
“Yes. You’re absolutely stunning and undeniably good–looking. Colin, when I have the time, I’ll draw a
portrait of you.”
I was good at portraits, and Colin, this earthly beauty, deserved to be immortalized in a painting.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of a masterpiece.
“Sure, I’d love that.”
Laughing and joking along the journey, the atmosphere was light and cheerful. I nagged him to tell me
where we were going, so I could check on Google and plan our trip. Then, in these four days, we could
have a great time.

However, Colin was being mysteriously evasive. No matter how much I begged and pouted, he refused to
tell me. He only said that I would know once we arrived, claiming that I would love the place.
The SUV passed over a mountain, climbed over a slope, went through a forest, and crossed several

True to his words, I loved the place.

pristine forests, abundant vegetation, green mountains, clear waters, blue skies, and flowing streams. The scenery, with its vibrant layers of colors, was breathtaking.
After getting off the dirt road, a walk of less than 30 minutes brought us to the entrance of the forest park. In fact, we could drive In, but Colin insisted that in tourism, we should focus on the Journey. As driving would make us miss many detalls in the scenery, walking on foot was more enjoyable.
Colin bought tickets, and I followed him close like a sidekick.
There were no exciting game activities here, just the simple enjoyment of the scenery. Along the way, I
was so happy that I jumped around. Colin pointed out that I looked like a little monkey.
It was the peak of the tourist season, and there were quite many visitors. Countless people were
discussing that the maple leaves here were the most beautiful, claiming it to be the best place in the
Northeast to appreciate autumn foliage.
Having truly experienced the scenery along the way, I also deeply felt the Infinite charm of the maple
trees here. The maple leaves were indeed super beautiful, with layers of red, yellow, and green, perfectly
showcasing the different appeal of maple leaves in different seasons.
When large patches of red leaves fell on my white skirt, I suddenly felt moved and choked up. He actually
knew about how sad I was for not being able to go to Verdantmont!
Colin noticed the change in my mood. He turned to look at me and smiled. “What you missed out is not
meant to be. Right now, the scenery in front of you is meant for you. Do you like it?”
His words sounded a bit philosophical, but I didn’t quite understand. Sniffling, I replied, “Is this your way
of making up for what you put me through?”
What the heck? He ruthlessly enslaved me for three whole days and disrupted my travel plans. And now
brought me here to see maple leaves, making me all emotionally moved.
