Jasper knew that William was thinking about the past again. When his mother died, he was only 5 or 6
years old and had nowhere to go. The feeling of fear and helplessness was something that only those who had experienced it could truly understand.
Jasper unbuckled her seatbelt, turned to him, and hugged William with open arms.
She didn’t know what to say at this moment, but she wanted to hold him like this, to comfort him, and she felt that he seemed very sad… very sad…
His head rested on her shoulder, and his voice choked as he said, “If they never showed up back then, why should they appear now after so many years? Do they think that I suddenly have feelings for them after all these years?”
“If you don’t want to see them, then just don’t see them in the future,” Jasper said. She didn’t want to persuade him to forgive his grandparents or anything like that.
Because as Mommy said, if you haven’t experienced the pain of others, don’t try to persuade them to be blindly kind!
She hadn’t experienced his pain, so she wouldn’t advise him on anything. No matter what choices he made, she would stand behind him and support him.
“Yeah, just don’t see them,” he slowly wrapped his arms. around her. “For me, they are no longer my relatives!”
Just then, Jasper suddenly remembered something and said, “Uh oh, earlier at the school gate, they said they were your grandparents, and there were quite a few people watching at the time…”
At that moment, Jasper suddenly remembered something and said, “Uh-oh, earlier at the school gate, they mentioned that they were your grandparents, and there were quite a few people watching…”
This incident might become the talk of the campus again.
Thinking about this, Jasper felt regretful and said, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have stopped them! Then there wouldn’t have been any argument! I thought they were suspicious and might harm you. Sigh…I should have acted calmly and let someone investigate afterwards.”
Jasper regretted more and more as he thought about it.
“It’s okay,” William said, “Since they came to Stanford
University specifically to find me, even if you didn’t stop them or argue with them, I’m afraid everyone in the school would still know about our relationship.”
“What are you going to do then?” Jasper asked.
“I won’t acknowledge them. After they’ve made a fool of themselves, they’ll naturally understand that what they’re doing now is meaningless,” William replied.
Upon hearing this, Jasper still felt somewhat uneasy. Could it really be that simple?
Just then, someone knocked on the car door. Jasper jumped and quickly let go of William’s hand. He turned his head to see a traffic police officer standing by the car, looking at them through the window.
Jasper quickly rolled down the car window and saw the officer’s anxious expression. “This is just a temporary parking spot, not a place for long-term parking. You young people should pay attention and not start cuddling and talking about love as soon as you park your car. At least park your car in the right place!”
Jasper’s face turned red and he stuttered, “I understand…”
William then started the car again and drove away from the roadside.
Jasper lowered his head and thought about what the officer had just said. Did she and…William look like a couple?
Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had last night.
She then lifted her head and looked at the person driving next to her.
If she wasn’t with him, would he fall in love with someone else in the future? At that time, what he would see in his eyes would no longer be her, but another woman.
He would do many things for another woman, and she would no longer be that important to him.
Thinking of this, she would feel very uncomfortable.
But what is this uncomfortable feeling? She knows she likes him, but is this kind of liking the kind between a man and a woman?
“Do you have any place you want to go?” William’s voice suddenly sounded in the car.
“Huh?” She was startled and snapped out of her thoughts. “Anywhere is fine.”
So he drove the car to a wetland park in Emerald City.
It was a weekend and there were quite a few people in the park, mostly families with parents and children out for a day of fun.
“The scenery here is nice, how about we take a walk?” William suggested.
“Okay,” Jasper replied.
The two got off the car and walked along the avenue here.
They have been here before, but it’s been a few years since their last visit. The changes here are quite significant, with many new storefronts along the way. These storefronts are designed to complement the scenery, with many of them featuring antique-style architecture.
The integration of the architecture with the scenery looks quite beautiful.
“By the way, why were you looking at me like that in the car earlier?” William’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Are you worried that I’ll be upset about what those two people did and be troubled by it?”
Jasper quickly shook her head, “No.”
William was a bit surprised by her answer, “Then what is it?”
“It’s…” She hesitated for a moment, “It’s just that I was thinking about something…” She didn’t know how to explain to him that she was looking at him because of a dream.
Just then, two girls walked towards them, and one of them bravely asked, “Excuse me, are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Jasper was stunned and was thinking about how to answer, but William had already answered first, “No, we’re not.””
When Jasper heard this response, he suddenly felt a sense of disappointment for some reason.
The two girls clearly showed joy on their faces when they heard this, and the one who spoke earlier immediately asked William, “Can we exchange WhatsApp numbers?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary,” William refused.
The girl’s face immediately became embarrassed.
And her friend next to her said, “It’s just adding a WhatsApp, let’s get to know each other and be friends. My friend really likes you!”
The girl’s face turned even redder when the person said that.
Jasper looked at the girl he wanted to add William on WhatsApp before. She was quite cute, with fair skin, long hair that fell on her shoulders, and her clothing style leaned towards the cute type.
Girls like this often make boys develop a liking towards them easily.
William simply said, “Sorry, I don’t want to be friends with your friend.”
“Why are you like this? You don’t even have a girlfriend!” the person said, turning to Jasper and asking,
“Are you his friend? Then you should also advise your friend. My friend really wants to be friends with him.”
“If he doesn’t want to be friends with your friend, why do you have to force it?” Jasper replied.
The person became unhappy upon hearing this. “What do you mean? Are you secretly in love with him? Are you afraid he will like my friend, so you don’t want them to be friends?”
Jasper frowned upon hearing this.
William suddenly spoke up, “It’s not that she secretly loves me, it’s that I openly love her! I like her too much, so if you continue to accuse her, I won’t be polite to you.”
William suddenly spoke up, “It’s not that she has a secret crush on me, it’s that I have a crush on her! I like her too much, so if you continue to slander her, I won’t be polite to you.”
The person was stunned when they heard this, while the cute girl next to them blushed and hurriedly left while holding her friend’s hand.
Jasper looked at William and said, “You…um…”
“I’m not interested in making friends with that person,” William said.
“But that girl is quite cute, aren’t you guys supposed to like that cute type?” Jasper said.
Although she knows she’s not bad-looking, her temperament is not the cute type. As her roommate put it, she’s more of a cool type.
If someone is not familiar with her, they might feel that she’s not easy to approach, like a high and mighty lady from a wealthy family.
But if someone truly knows her personality, they wouldn’t feel that way.
“I don’t think that girl earlier was particularly cute,” William said.
“What kind of girl do you think is cute then?” she asked curiously.
He looked at her with a helpless expression, and in that moment, she felt like she had asked a stupid question.
His gaze was like telling her that she was the most adorable person in his eyes.
Jasper nervously licked his lips and said, “William, if you say…
you’ll wait for my answer, what if you fall in love with someone else before I give you an answer?”
“That won’t happen,” he said with absolute certainty. “So, you don’t need to rush to give me a reply. You can take your time to think about it.”
In fact, even if she gave him a negative answer, he wouldn’t fall in love with anyone else.
Because in this world, he didn’t think there was any woman who could make him fall in love again.
His words inexplicably gave her a sense of reassurance.
The two of them strolled through the wetlands, and when Jasper got tired, they stopped at a dessert shop to rest.
William queued up to buy dessert for Jasper, while Jasper found a seat and sat down first.
The spot where she is currently sitting is an outdoor area located at the entrance of a dessert shop.
And right beside the road, there is a street performer playing the violin. In front of him, the violin case is open with several coins inside. Some passersby would take out all their money and put it in the case.
Jasper is a music student himself, so he can easily tell the other person’s level at once.
Their level is not particularly good, but in this kind of environment, it’s not a bad idea to just enjoy a drink and listen.
William bought a drink and returned to Jasper’s side, handing her a cup of the beverage.
“I wonder if this person can play Jules Massenet’s Tha?s,”
Jasper said as she drank, enjoying the piece of music.
“I’ll go ask,” William said, standing up and walking towards the street performer.
After a brief conversation, William took out a hundred-dollar bill and placed it in the performer’s violin case.
Jasper thought the performer would start playing, but to her surprise, the performer handed the violin over to William.
