Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

“Impressive! Lulu, you’re really a genius! How did you come up with such a wonderful concept?” Colin

said.

I grinned with pride, and Colin gazed at me with admiration in his eyes. “You’ve always been outstanding.

I was so outstanding. I had put in more effort than anyone else to gain that person’s attention. Why could

Colin see it, but Felix never seemed to take notice?

In the end, it was all because Felix didn’t care.

It was nearly 11:00 pm by the time we finished our discussion. The campus had grown quiet as it neared

lights–out time. The research institute was far from my department, yet Colin insisted on accompanying

me back, opting for the path alongside the rose–covered wall.

As we passed the flowered corridor, I pretended to casually glance around, searching for the passionate

couple.

Unfortunately, they had already left.

“Lulu, why were you acting so sneaky tonight? Is there something you’re keeping from me?” Colin asked.

I rolled my eyes at Colin and then playfully jumped on his back, pounding his shoulders, which made him

laugh heartily.

Colin carried me on his back as we walked along the quiet paths of Lincoln University’s campus before

midnight, reminiscent of our childhood days when he would carry me home step by step.

“Colin, have you seen Lilac these past few days?” I lay on Colin’s back, playing with his–ears and blowing Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

air into them.

Colin’s body tensed up like a stone, and when he replied, his voice quivered, and his breath was shallow.”

Why would I bother seeing her? Taking care of one piglet is exhausting enough, and I hardly have the

time to entertain her.”

Colin’s words somehow pleased me. I liked it.

“She’s going to be your future sister–in–law. At least introduce yourself to her, alright?” I climbed up a bit.

successfully catching a glimpse of Colin’s flushed skin, which extended from his ears down to his neck.

guessed I needed to lose some weight.

“I’m only concerned about my future wife, and I’m not interested in anyone else’s sister–in–law,” Colin

replied.

“Colin, who’s your future wife? Do I know her?”

Colin chuckled. “You know her very well.”

“Who? Colin, who is it? Tell me, who do you have feelings for? Is it someone from my class?” I became

excited and moved a little closer.

Colin quickly cautioned me, “Stay still. What if you fall?”

I attempted various methods to get Colin to reveal the name of the person he had feelings for, but Colin

remained resolute.

He resisted all my efforts, consistently responding with, “You’ll find out one day.”

Well, I could find out about her later. For the time being, I could have Colin all to myself.

Back in my room, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

The scene I had secretly witnessed weighed heavily on my mind. I grappled with the dilemma of whether

to ignore what I had seen and let Felix continue living in his romantic reverie or to inform him.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn’t come to a decision. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep.

The next morning. I woke up and still couldn’t make up my mind.

This incident left me in a daze for two consecutive days, and even Colin, who was standing right before

me, couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“Ms. Lawson, what’s occupying your thoughts so deeply?” Colin inquired, arching his eyebrow and

smiling playfully.

Startled, I looked up to find Colin watching me.

He stood in the backlight, his sharp facial features etched in the shadows, reminiscent of a flawless sculpture, rendering him exceptionally striking.
