Lina blushed and lowered her head. "I'm going to the library. It's in the same direction."
Well, that was hard to believe.
It's been almost a year since classes started, and never once had I ever seen her step foot in the library.
Still, I assumed that she had something to say to me. Perhaps she wanted to apologize. I decided to give her a chance and see what she had to say.
So, the two of us walked toward the men's dormitories together.
"William, I've been thinking a lot today. You were really nice to me, and I didn't deserve your feelings."
As expected, she was here to apologize. Honestly, I was happy that she had realized her mistakes and was willing to apologize.
Back then, I had truly loved her and poured my heart into our relationship. So, the way things ended left a bitter taste in my mouth.
"Forget it. That's all in the past."
"I was a terrible judge of character," she chuckled bitterly. "First, I fell for Joshua, who was a liar. Then, I developed feelings for Ryan, who turned out to be a thief. Why am I so unlucky?"
I hesitated. I wanted to tell her that it wasn't a matter of bad judgment. Instead, it was because she was just as materialistic as them.
She enjoyed hanging out with show-offs and pretending to be better than others. So, naturally, the people drawn to her were just as superficial.
People with money usually kept a low profile, and I, along with the other hidden rich kids at our school, was no exception.
We knew that exposing our wealth would bring temporary satisfaction from people's admiration. However, it would only push away genuine relationships while attracting the attention of people with ill intent.
