Chapter 95
I had to stay in the hospital for another three days.
Colin sent me back to my dorm on the day I was discharged. That had attracted the attention and envy of
the girls from my dorm.
Queenie said that Colin had been protecting and looking after me as if I was a porcelain doll. It reminded me of historical times of how the prince would protect the princess.
Throughout my stay in the hospital, Colin had been regulating my food.
He wouldn’t let me eat most things. He only allowed me to eat different kinds of porridge every day.
I felt like I would puke if I had to eat porridge for another day.
Not to mention, I still hadn’t received a proper reason behind his disappearance a few days back. It
caused me to be in a foul mood.
Colin did reflect on his six days of absence and promised to never abandon me again. So, I decided to be the bigger person and forgive him. We quickly returned to being friends.
After we made up, Colin seemed much more attentive and gentle toward me.
I greedily enjoyed his treatment and wanted things to last a little longer.
There had been a sudden influx of situations in Colin’s research institute. He was always busy. Yet he
always managed to free some time and accompany me.
He would even order takeout for me whenever he was too busy.
I slowly returned to my happy state,
Time passed quickly, and November soon arrived. The weather became cold as all my classmates
slowly changed into their coats.
I remember on that fateful evening, the sunset was beautiful. Colin had messaged me to come down as
he had something important to tell me.
I put on my coat and placed my phone in my pockets before running downstairs.
It had snowed a little in the afternoon. The white snow on the tree leaves shimmered in the night light.
Colin was standing under a tree as he waved at me. There was uncontrollable excitement on his face. He
looked like he had great news to share.

“Colin, did the competition results get released?” I whizzed toward him like a bullet. I grabbed his coat
and looked up at him.
He nodded as his eyes shined brightly. He held my shoulders and said, “Lulu, guess what place we got?”
“Did we get first place?” I hesitantly voiced out my guess.
Colin laughed out loud. He slipped his hands under my armpits and lifted me, spinning me in circles.
“Of course, we got first place. Lulu, you’re the best.”
That night, Colin and I laughed and jumped under the snow. I jumped onto his back as he carried me and
ran around the compound. We even attracted many envious glances.
Back then, I would want to share everything with Felix. But I didn’t think of him when I won first place that
day.
I believed I was slowly losing my feelings for Felix. I was slowly healing from the wounds he gave me.
To celebrate our win, Colin treated my roommates and his friends to a meal.
His friends were usually under Colin’s control. They were delighted that they finally had an opportunity to
tease Colin.
Congratulations were said repeatedly. Every time someone said it, they would give Colin a toast. I only
drank two cups before Colin stopped me.
I had planned to drink until I was tipsy. Yet Colin stopped me halfway through. How could that be?
However, my alcohol tolerance had always been a secret of mine. My mom told me to never tell anyone
about how much I could drink.
So, I could only watch Colin’s friends drink with jealousy.
“Colin, why can’t I drink? I can still drink some more.”
“You’ve already drunk two glasses. It’s not safe for women to drink in public.” Colin convinced me gently.
