"You're cruel. You made a pretty girl cry." I suppressed my jealousy and tried to sound indifferent. But even I wasn't convinced.

What was I supposed to do? No woman would not get jealous when another woman confessed to her boyfriend and even asked him for a hug. My reaction was any other woman's reaction in this situation.

As for what Colin would do... That was his decision. I couldn't tell him what to do. However, his decision would affect the way I approached our relationship. Jasmine came to take him away. I foresaw that there would be more in the future. I needed reassurance from him.

He squeezed my palm and turned to me. "Yeah, I can't make a girl cry. Maybe I'll say yes to her?"

What the heck? I immediately fought back, saying, "If you hug her, I'll... I'll..."

"What will you do?" Colin glanced at me with a cheeky grin. He was waiting for me to finish my sentence.

"I'll break your leg!" I hollered, trying to make my threat as scary as possible.

Perhaps I was too loud. Colin tensed up. His hand let go of me and seized my neck instead. Then, he growled. "You're so mean. Which leg do you want to break, eh?"

"If you betray me, I'll turn you into a cripple. Then, I'll date all the hot guys and buy a house opposite where you live. That way, you'll see how happy my life is. I'll make babies with him to make your life even more miserable. Hmph!"

Colin gritted his teeth and put me in a chokehold. A gentle one, of course. "You're quite imaginative. I don't care who you'll date. I'll just kill them all. I'm sure I can still fight even when I'm a cripple."

We joked playfully until we arrived at our neighborhood. As soon as we parked the car, I saw a man running toward us. As soon as I registered the fact, he already stood before me with a stack of papers in his arms.

Two swaying bags hung freely on his arms, inside which contained watercolors and brushes. The other bag was filled to the brim too, though I couldn't tell what was inside.

I took a proper look and realized that it was Winston. I hadn't seen him in a few days. To run into him before my apartment building was...

"Hi, Professor White. Lulu, finally, you're back. I've been waiting for you," said Winston gleefully despite his sweaty forehead.

Colin's warm temperament turned cold in an instant, like the blizzard storm in the middle of a harsh winter. There was a tinge of jealousy too. He grabbed my waist and pulled me into his embrace, showing others that I was his.

"Winston, why are you looking for Luna?" said Colin monotonously. The displeasure in his expression was palpable. Urgh. He was so petty.

Winston looked at the hand on my waist. His eyes narrowed, but he smiled brightly. "Oh, I passed by here to purchase art tools. I saw that Lulu didn't come to my Crystal House this morning. We're trying to speed up the progress, so I came to check on her."

In other words, he only appeared here by chance. He didn't mean to bump into us.

"Your Crystal House," Colin repeated those words as if he was trying to place a curse on it. I could feel that he became angrier, so I nuzzled closer.

My action soothed him somehow. The tension in the air dropped.

"I had something to do in the morning. But this afternoon-"
