Jack noticed her distraction. What are you thinking? 

Alice lowered her eyes. “Nothing How long will you stay in Peking? 

Tm not sure.” 

“Are you here to see your girlfriend? She regretted asking 

Jack’s hand paused. “Why are you asking?” 

“Nothing” She focused on her rice. 

Jack blurted out, I don’t have a girlfriend.” 

No? Gator said you did. Her heart leaped. 

to protect her. 

Jack’s throat tightened. “Gator’s lying. Did you believe him?” He’d planned to pretend, but her persistent questioning made it impossible. He didn’t want to invent a girlfriend and see her 

upset. 

His heart had already tilted. 

“You’re not together? You don’t have 

girlfriend?* Her heart pounded. 

Jack hesitated, lowering his eyes. I’m pursuing someone.” 

Alice’s face stiffened. “Oh… that’s… good!” 

Jack regretted his words; how would he explain? 

Silence fell between them. Alice ate distractedly, experiencing the bittersweetness of unrequited love. 

Feeling uneasy, she excused herself to the restroom. Looking in the mirror, her eyes were red. She splashed cold water on her face.. 

Outside, Jack regretted his words; it was difficult to gauge the right approach. He’d seen through her feelings but had retreated. 

Alice returned, avoiding eye contact. Jack asked, “Not eating?” 

“Yes, it’s my housewarming. She stared at him.“Jack, what if you never get that girl?” I don’t know. Let’s worry about that later.” 

Secing his expression, she guessed he still liked that girl. She felt envious. After dinner, Alice checked the time. Let’s buy some home goods and men’s shoes this 

afternoon.” 

“Why men’s shoes?” His voice was low, teasing. 

Her face flushed. If I date, I need shoes for my boyfriend.” 

Jack’s face darkened. “Don’t bring men here.” 

“You’re a man, aren’t you?” She looked at him, smiling. She wanted to know what role she played 

in his life. 

Jack pondered.“I see you as a sister. That’s why I can come, but other men are different.” 

pang of sadness hit her. “I don’t need another brother.”

Jack’s phone rang. “Hello?“…urgent matter…come down…” He hung up.“Let’s order home goods; no need to shop.” 

Who called? An emergency?” 

“You’re leaving? Who 

Jack hesitated.“Yes. I have to go.” 

“Okay.” 

An emergency?” She guessed it was that girl. 

Alice felt a rollercoaster of emotions. He’d left for that girl. 

She organized her Al materials. Furniture arrived; it was nicely arranged. She texted Jack a photo of the living room:“Great taste. I’ll transfer the money. He didn’t reply. 

On the first day of school, Alice took a taxi to Harvard University. A black car followed. 

Inside, Gator said, “Why are you following her? Why NOL go yourself?” Jack watched the taxi. He’d almost been recognized at the restaurant. Since Alice was starting a new life, he shouldn’t interfere. 

Alice entered Harvard University. Her new life began. At registration, she presented her acceptance letter. 

“Alice, you really treasure this letter. You were so angry about it being opened. It’s just a letter!” 

Chloe, in designer clothes, approached. 

Alice scoffed.“What are you doing here? You cheated and failed; you can’t even get into Harvard University!* 

Chloe gritted her teeth. Luckily, no one knew them here. 

Chloe smirked.“Good news: I’m a Harvard University student now.”
