“Simon, thank you very much for today. If you are busy, I don’t want to keep you any longer, I can do it alone from here on.”
They exchanged contact information of each other, and Simon was relieved and hurried away.
Jenny knew clearly that she had already enough money and emotional debts with James. She took a deep breath. She knew that now she should work harder to achieve her goal, in order to be able to give back what James has paid for her.
She continued to wander on the university campus, Jenny found that she never had such a feeling, only to think about studies, and nothing else.
She was sitting on a long chair, this place is where the film Forrest Gump was filmed.
There were also many films such as Graduate, Love at Harvard, Ultimate Detective, and others, all of which were filmed on this campus. Jenny felt like being in a dream. She never thought that she would have such a day.
She came to the front of the library again. Looking at the classical appearance of the building, the exquisite interiors were as elegant as the castle in a fairytale world. She thought about coming here to study tomorrow. She started to feel too excited.
She had spent a long time on the campus before going home.
…
At the same time, Harold also returned home after a long day of work.
The butler had searched almost half of China as he was told to do. There were only three travel records which were of people named Jenny Andrews, but they were all different people with the same name. So far, the whereabouts of Jenny could not be found.
The butler came to Harold’s side, “Mr. Quarrington, I have almost used everything possible, but I was not able to find Miss Andrews’ whereabouts.”
The butler closed his eyes and waited for Harold’s yelling.
Harold actually wanted to say that he was incompetent, that he wasn’t even able to finish such an easy task. But then he suddenly thought of another way to find out where she was.
“It’s alright, no need to check.”
The butler was staring at Harold in disbelief, he thought that he was going to give up on finding Jenny.
…
Ever since Jenny had gone abroad, James’ calls to Jenny have developed from one call every two days to one call every day, to now one call every few hours.
James also felt that he might disturb her studies and her rest, but he couldn’t help but miss her, and he felt uncomfortable without hearing her voice for several hours.
Jenny felt that this was okay. After all, having a friend chatting with her when she was alone is better than being bored at home, but she was thinking about how much these crossnational phone calls cost.
James didn’t mind at all, but at her request the phone calls were changed to internet calls.
Jenny noticed that not finishing ger school in the past, made her dropped back comparing with others. This kind of university life was nothing close to relaxation to Jenny, and the American teachers all used the policy of self-studying.
This did not at all help to the fact that the gap between Jenny and other students was undoubtedly more exposed, feeling that pressure on her body and her brain running on high speed.
As soon as school is over, all foreign students were only talking about where to go to party like wild animals, but Jenny was only rooting in the library and desperately replenishing the knowledge she had missed.
Just like this, Jenny, who was quietly studying, still made some friends from the States and Spain. After all, there are few Chinese students in the class. They also want to learn more about China through Jenny.
The closest girl to her was the girl living next to her. When she went home once after class Jenny found that she forgot her in the house, so she knocked on the door of her neighbour, trying to get home through the connected balcony, and climb the window into her house.
It was an Asian face who opened the door. Wendy, an international student from Xi’an, China, studied architecture, because her father wanted her to take over her father’s career and sent her to study abroad.
She also knew that Jenny was the next-door neighbour. She had seen her when she moved in, but she felt that she was a little too quiet and thought she was not getting along well.
Because of the key incidence, they both became each others support away from home.
When it was early in the evening, Wendy returned from school, with a box of duck collarbone and a crayfish, she also brought along a cup of porridge with eggs and fruits of the season for Jenny.
Jenny opened the door and gave her a hug, “How did you know I haven’t taken anything for dinner?”
Wendy walked into the house carrying the bags, “There is absolutely no need to even guess that. All you do everyday is just study and study.”
Jenny smiled and sat down, she put on some disposable gloves and started to eat crayfish, spicy food was awakening an irresistible impulse in her.
More than that, she was really hungry too. When she was studying, she could not feel it. But now that the food was in front of her and she realized that she was hungry.
Wendy took out the clothes she bought when she went shopping today, and tried it on while saying, “If you buy this there will be no money left for food this month!”
Standing in front of the mirror, Wendy took photos of herself, turned around and repeatedly asked Jenny for confirmation, “Look, what about my new dress, do I look good?”
Jenny nodded while eating, “Well, it’s pretty, it suits your style.”
Wendy turned to look at the mirror again. She was losing the feeling she had when she just put on the dress.
“What should I do, now I feel that I suddenly don’t like it anymore, the more I see myself in the mirror, the more I feel something is wrong. I wonder if I can still give it back…”
“This is how it is when you buy new clothes. If you don’t buy it after you fell in love with it, you won’t stop thinking about it until you do, but then when you get home, it feels like you don’t like it as much anymore. I think it does look pretty on you. If it was me, I would wear it out and you will find that you still like it.” Jenny took a sip of water and said quickly.
This is the mentality that often happens after spending money. After spending money, there will be regret, and after getting home, you will see that buying it was just an impulse. If there was another chance, you will definitely not buy it again.
Jenny watched Wendy holding the skirt with pouting mouth and long silence. She comforted her, “I really thought you look so good in it.”
Wendy thought for some more time, and said to Jenny, “You must keep an eye on me in the future. Do not let me buy clothes for more than five thousand! Otherwise, I will…”
Jenny didn’t know to the fact that this skirt was so expensive, and turned to look at the clothes in her own closet. There was the difference. Wendy’s skirt was more expensive than Jenny’s whole closet of clothes…
She helplessly sighed, looking at Wendy, “Otherwise?”
Wendy bit her teeth, “Otherwise I will be your housekeeper and take care of your daily necessities.”
Jenny couldn’t help but laughing at this.
“What are you laughing at, you don’t believe I can be your maid?”
“No, no, it’s not that I don’t believe this, I just don’t believe you can stop buying new clothes.” Jenny said and couldn’t help but continue to laugh.
