She didn’t even join any chat groups at high school because she was studying while working part-time. Hence, she wasn’t very familiar with her cla*smates. Orphans like her had no choice. They had to rely on themselves and couldn’t compare with pups from good packs.
Jayden had heard from his cla*smates that Harper was an orphan and had to rely on herself. Perhaps that was why she was always late for school at that time. Not exposing someone’s past was the best courtesy, so Jayden didn’t pursue the topic.
“You don’t look much different from when you were in school.”
Her eyes were still so clean and clear as if they had not been contaminated by the complexities of the world.
“There are still changes.”
How could she not change at all after experiencing so many things? Even if there were no major changes in her appearance, she had been worn out.
“I remember the first time I saw you, you climbed over the wall and jumped down. I happened to pa*s by, and you jumped onto
me.”
“At that time, you were in a hurry to get to the cla*sroom and didn’t even look at me. You just said sorry before you got up and
ran away.”
“I limped after you and shouted, “Wait a minute, you broke my hand.'”
“I thought you would take me to the infirmary, but you ran so fast that you disappeared in an instant.”
Jayden’s recollection of this past made Harper, who was immersed in depression, laugh out loud.
“Really? Was I so heartless back then?”
“Indeed.” Jayden smiled.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became cheerful as they talked about the days when they were in high school.
Suddenly, Jayden became a little nervous and said, “I remember that many people wrote love letters to you in high school, and many boys confessed to you. It seems that you didn’t lack suitors. Why did you still come to this blind date banquet?”
At this topic, Harper felt a little inferior and lowered her head.
“When I was a student, there were indeed a lot of people chasing after me, but that was a long time ago. Besides, I have been unmated. I can have the honor to attend your blind date party just thanks to your director.”
Harper didn’t dare to look at Jayden.
“It’s not a big deal that you have unmated. Don’t force yourself to live with someone you don’t like. After all, mating is not the tomb to bind someone with another person, but a warm family.”
Mating was not a tomb, but a family.
Harper slowly raised her head and looked at Jayden.
She just came to the blind date party for Stella’s sake.
But now Harper suddenly felt that maybe she could also consider if she met a good man.
Harper took a look at Jayden and asked tentatively, “Do you know the famous nightclubs in Arcadia?”
Jayden only focused on studying medicine and seldom went to such a place. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I hope I can hear more.”
Harper said straightforwardly, “The most famous nightclub was called Nightshade. Heaven and Earth is second to it, and I run the third most famous nightclub.”
Jayden didn’t expect Harper to run an entertainment club. He admired her and said, You’re awesome.”
Harper had thought that Jayden would dislike her if he knew that she had a night club, but she didn’t expect him to have such
a reaction.
When she was still in a daze, Jayden said, “It so happens that our department is going to have a gathering tomorrow. How about going to your nightclub? Then you can make some
money.”
He pretended to give Harper a chance to make money, but in fact, he thought she was not bad and wanted to get close to her.
Harper knew what he meant. She hesitated. For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should refuse him.
When she was stirring the ice in the gla*s with a straw, the background music changed and it became melodious and moving.
The host on the stage was calling on everyone to dance. Jayden stood up, slightly bent down, and reached out to Harper.
“Harper, I’ve watched the video of you dancing at the high school dancing party. You did a good job. May I invite you to
dance?”
“I haven’t danced for a long time. I’m afraid…”
“It doesn’t matter. Let me teach you.”
Jayden invited her sincerely. If Harper refused again, she would look a little pretentious.
