After exchanging a few sentences, | got annoyed and turned off my phone, deciding to go to sleep.
When Mom calledthe next day, | brought up the incident with Lilac. After listening, Mom remained silent for a while before advisingto focus on myself and not interfere in other matters.
According to her, Felix would never believe me. | might end up slammed with an unfounded accusation, which would only increase his misunderstanding and prejudice against me. Sometimes, good intentions could lead to bad outcomes.
Mom said that as long as we conduct ourselves properly, we shouldn't worry about others’ prejudices.
There was no need to invite unnecessary trouble either.
Colin shared the sthoughts as Mom. Having listened to both of their advice, | was finally convinced. As for Felix, | had already done my part to remind him. He had to rely on himself for the rest.

With the decision made. | put aside my mental burden and devoted myself completely to the competition's creative process.
Colin agreed to follow my vision upon studying it. After about a week of refining, we determined the final creative direction. We prepared to start working on the painting the very next day.
| had been learning to paint for quite a long tnow, occasionally participating in competitions of various scales. However, this sort of competition involving teams was a new experience for me.
| was excited and determined to achieve a good result. Therefore, | gathered all my paints, stretched canvases, canvas boards, brushes, and other necessary materials. Realizing that | was short of a few more items, | put them on my shopping list.
Although the university had a stationery store that operated from nine to five, it was already closed by the t| finished my day.
Fortunately, there was a large stationery store on the street behind the university. It was known for its comprehensive selection.
With nothing else to do after dinner, | dragged my roommate Queenie along withto go shopping under the guise of buying painting materials.
But of course, the main objective was to buy paint.
After walking a distance, we noticed a hot dog stall with a line of people. The enticing aroma made my mouth water. | pointed it out to Queenie, who also couldn't refrain from indulging herself, and then the two of us joined the queue.
“Are boys these days so fickle? They date one girl during the day and sleep with another during the night.
Alas, society’s moral degeneration is real.” Queenie, feigning maturity, shook her head with a sigh and emphasized the decay of society as she spoke. When she pursed her lips, the disdain on her face was quite evident.
Amused by her comment, | followed her gaze to see what she was talking about. “What does it have to do with you? Are you so fond of meddling?” However, | was taken aback as soon as | looked over.
| cursed myself for having sharp eyes, making it impossible to pretend | recognized the wrong person.

Across the street, Lilac and a boy were standing in the shadows glihe entrance of a small hotel. The boy had his head lowered to kiss Lilac passionately, while the latter was responding enthusiastically. As they mindlessly kissed each other, their public display of affection drew odd glances from passersby.
| couldn’t help but sigh and rub my forehead. They were just a few steps away from the hotel, couldn't they go inside instead of making out at the entrance? What kind of hobby was that? “Do you know them?” | asked Queenie.
“Yeah. That guy is Shawn Dixon. He's from the finance department. Rumor has it that his family is wealthy, and many girls like him. I heard a freshman had confessed to him with flowers a few days ago. You can say he's a popular guy in the university.
“That girl is an exchange student from the south. | must say, the two of them have quite the audacity. I saw them hiding in the women's restroom to fool around two days ago, and now they going to a hotel. How young and resilient.” Listening to Queenie’s words, | thought it was a rather common sight. Just six days ago, | saw them vehemently embracing in the garden.
