Chapter 71 “Do you know who | am? Do you want to die?” Shawn was still putting up a fight, and even Queenie could sense the hypocrisy in his threatening tone.
“Do | need to know?” The guy sneered.
“Would you dare tellwho you are?” Shawn kept yelling defiantly. But toand Queenie, it sounded like his last desperate struggle.
“They callColt,” the guy said arrogantly.
“Colt?” Shawn seemed apprehensive regarding the name. He immediately fell silent and abandoned all resistance.

Pathetically, he pleaded, “Colt, please spare me. | didn’t know Luna was one of yours. | won't dare to touch her again.” Was Colt that famous and intimidating? | had no idea. But he seemed pretty cool tofor beating Shawn to a pulp.
“You'd better behave yourself and stay away from her in Lincoln University. If she loses a single strand of hair, I'll make you pay for it.” So domineering! | stared at the guy with twinkling eyes.
“Get lost.” Having been granted mercy. Shawn crawled to his feet and fled with humiliation.
Then, Colin cback to me. He was frowning angrily. “What are you doing here so late? Do you know how dangerous it is? If | hadn't happened to pass by, you would have been in big trouble. How do you wantto explain to your parents if you got hurt?” Uh-oh, Colin was mad.
And when Colin got mad, there was no better solution than playing the helpless card.
Secretly, | pinched the flesh on my waist and tears quickly filled my eyes. Taking advantage of the tears | had managed to squeeze out, | sobbed loudly and wiped my eyes on his shirt. “Colin, why did you c so late? | was so scared.” Queenie stood there, dumbfounded as she watched my drastic change of expression, seemingly impressed by my quick-wittedness.
Yes, | was scared. But my waist also hurt.
Colin cared aboutgreatly. He softened when he sawcrying. The anger on his face eased up while he gently wiped my tears with a tissue. “If you're scared, don’t act so recklessly again. Do you understand? Okay, stop crying. Tell me, what are you doing out so late?” “We just wanted to grab slate-night snacks and took a shortcut.” | looked up at Colin, whose expression had brightened, and quietly explained.
For sreason, | felt a little nervous facing him as though | had done something wrong.
Even though all we wanted was a late-night snack- | never imagined that this would happen either.

“Are you injured?” “No.” To convince Colin, | bounced on the spot and spun thrice.
“Come with me. Tell me next time if you want to eat someting Don't come out so late anymore , got it?” Colt walked ahead as he chided us.
| followed him with Queenie, repeatedly nodding like a chick pecking at grains. “Okay, got it.”
Now that the danger was gone, Queenie reverted to her gossip— loving, self, She leaned into my, ear “Who is this handsguy? He's so cool. Ah, my heart is beating so fast.” “Lower your voice. Don’t let him hear you.” “Lulu, tellthe truth. When did you find such a hottie? Are there any left? Hookup with one.”
When | covered her mouth to stop the nonsense she was spouting she managed to free her mouth and resumed her babble. Irritated, | pinched her waist. She winced in pain “Lulu, it doesn’t matter if you know him. He saved you while continuing to speak today, and you have to repay his kindness.”
