The way Jenn flailed and shouted scared me so much that I froze on the spot. If Liam had not been holding me in his arms, she might have done something to me.
Realizing she had failed, she continued to wave her hands at me, but her hands were restricted this time. When she turned around and found Lennon and Quentin grasping her, she broke down completely and started wailing loudly.
I did not bother to pay attention to these three people and just gazed icily at Lennon. “Take her away. I’ll feel embarrassed if you stay here for even one more second! From the moment I decided to attend college, who you like or who you’re nice to has nothing to do with me. Pestering me will only annoy me!”
Lennon froze completely as if his soul had been sucked away.
Quentin collapsed to the ground. He took out the handkerchief I had sewn for him in the past from his chest pocket. It was embroidered with a moth flying toward a pine tree. I remembered using red thread when I did not have enough green thread.
Now looking at it from afar, it seemed like a moth pouncing toward a fire. However, I had already stopped in time. Only Quentin was still clinging to the past, refusing to let go.
“Get rid of it! My hands will only be used for writing in the future. I’m never staying up late to sew anything for any man anymore!” After saying that, I snatched it away and tossed it into the pond nearby.
Liam sent me back to my dormitory. In the evening, my roommate told me that an outsider had jumped into the pond today, causing quite an uproar. She complained that the college had ordered students to show their student ID cards whenever entering or leaving the campus from
now on.
I heaved a sigh of relief. This way, Quentin and Lennon could no longer cause me any trouble.
