Chapter 88
“Right? I feel pity watching her pretending to be strong.”
“Why don’t we help her? I feel bad seeing her in this state.”
“There are some things she should figure out herself. Besides…”
I accidentally stepped on something. The sound alerted Queenie and Zoey. With foam on their faces, they were stunned.
“I came back to take my phone. I’ll be leaving now. Queenie, Zoey, I’m fine. You guys don’t need to worry.” I said calmly with a smile.
Actually, I wasn’t really upset that Colin no longer cared about me. I just felt empty.
It was fine, though.
It was just a reenactment of the past. If I could persevere through the first time, I could do the same again.
Besides, Colin and I did not promise each other anything.
I thought that he must have found out Lilac was his family after calling his parents. As an outsider, he had already done a lot by taking care of me for such a long time. I shouldn’t be greedy.
I didn’t blame Colin, as it was my fate.
There were four cafeterias for students at Lincoln University. Each was five stories high. There were all kinds of food. They did not lack food.
Nevertheless, Lincoln University had many students. During peak hours, there would be long queues. Usually, if one didn’t go early, one couldn’t get their favorite food.
When I reached the cafeteria, it was already packed with people.
There were around twenty people queueing for almond croissants. The queue for ravioli was longer than the one for almond croissants.
I went to the end of the queue for almond croissants and moved forward along with the queue.
After around fifteen minutes, it was finally my turn. I held the tray and sat in an empty seat nearby. I began to eat the almond croissant and drink the milkshake.

“Are you Lulu?”
Since I was focusing on eating, the student opposite was hesitant to speak up.
I raised my head and realized it was Jasmine.
I froze. Why did I cross paths with her?
Stupid cafeteria. I couldn’t see the person I wanted to see, yet I couldn’t hide from the person I didn’t want to meet.
“How was it, Lulu? Did you give my letter to Colin? What did he say?” Jasmine put the tray down and sat directly opposite me.
If Jasmine didn’t ask that question, I could have pretended nothing had happened. I could have pretended I was alone.
When Jasmine mentioned that, everything that happened the day before yesterday rushed into my mind. I remembered Colin ignoring me and being cold to me. I felt upset and wanted to cry.
I had never thought I was weak, but Felix and Colin had made me cry. Maybe I wasn’t fated to be friends with them.
For the two, I was no longer the upright Luna. Instead, I was an idiot.
With great effort, I held back my tears. Looking up, I forced myself to smile. “Jasmine, I have passed the letter to Colin, but he didn’t say anything. If you want to know the outcome, you should ask him yourself.
I’m busy with classes these few days, so I don’t have the time to meet him.”
I had finished the almond croissant and milkshake. When I was returning the tray, I saw a familiar figure.
When I wanted to look closely, I didn’t see anything.
For three consecutive days, Colin and his friends seemed to have disappeared. I couldn’t see any of
them.
He had withdrawn from my world.
