Chapter 368
Colin’s lips were warm and soft. I lost myself in yet another kiss.
“I’ve missed you so much. Did you miss me, my little princes?”
Urgh. Did he have to ask that? Did he not have the answer already? I couldn’t possibly answer
that.
Before I exited the car, Colin’s broad hand ruffled and messed up my hairstyle. He wore a goofy grin.
Why was he so smug? He was still a probational boyfriend. How arrogant of him!
After my parents went home, I began designing the murals. After I read the proposal, I realized that it wouldn’t be easy to earn this eight million dollars. The workload was unconscionably large, and it came with a tight deadline. To finish everything on time, I had to
work overtime.
But it was okay. At least I could kill time with it.
To save time, after my classes were over, I went to Felix’s place to work.
Colin allocated one corner of the living room to me and set up a small drawing studio. It had everything–easel, paintbrushes, and watercolor. When I hit a wall, I could discuss it with him. When he was bored, he would sit next to me silently.
When I felt tired, all I had to do was look at him and smile. Then, all my fatigue would disappear. Felix often came to ruin the atmosphere, but I still cherished the few moments.
After I finished the first draft, I showed it to Professor King. Instead of looking at my draft, he stared at my face for a long while. I thought that there was something on my face. “Luna, no man wants to date a skeleton.”
I wish I could punch him. He could just call me skinny. How hurtful it was to call me a skeleton.
But thanks to him, I realized that I had lost a lot of weight. I looked at myself in a mirror and indeed, I looked almost anorexic. No wonder Colin felt bad for me. Even I felt bad for myself.
Matthew contacted me and told me that his classmate’s uncle recently came back from his studies abroad. He had dealt with cases similar to Felix’s before. And coincidentally, he’d be attending a conference in Jinovy in a week. He said he could introduce him to me.
I was overjoyed by the news. I quickly ran to Colin to share the good news.
He was very happy, so he hugged and kissed me until my lips were glossy and swollen. Then, he also told me that he had recently found a doctor who planned to visit Jinovy too. The doctor used to study abroad.

That day, we went to Felix’s place together. Felix wasn’t thrilled that we came together, but he
didn’t make a fuss.
He was only briefly happy when we told him the great times. Then, he fell silent.
Colin went to cook in the kitchen while I drew drafts on my table.
Felix had learned the layout of the apartment by heart, so he easily navigated to me. It seemed like he wanted to talk.
“Yes?” I asked.
He pursed his lips and uttered when he finally found his words, “Lulu, if I’m cured one day, will you still stay with me?”
I thought about it seriously and replied, “Felix, do you want to keep a woman whose heart belongs to someone else and who will never love you back?”
It was cruel to say that, but it was the truth.
Felix blanched. Even the color on his lips faded.
From the corners of my eyes, I saw Colin smiling at me as he stood by the kitchen entrance. There was a plate of food in his hands.
During the meal, Felix surprisingly stopped being difficult and did not make ridiculous demands. He ate what Colin put on his plate quietly.
“Lulu, your drawing has improved so much. It seems like Professor King has given you a lot of useful tips.”
