Akasaka, Keiko in the bathroom of the apartment. Naked, Keiko is leaning on the warm hot water, holding a glass of amber whiskey in her hand.

Keiko raised the glass in her hand, and then drank the wine in one gulp. A choking smell of alcohol rushed to her throat, making Jingzi cough violently.

"Ahem~~ Ahem!"

The sharp cough made Keiko's face flush a little due to lack of oxygen. But she didn't stop drinking because of the cough. I saw her stretch out her slender arm from the bathtub. Then he struggled to find the floor next to the bathtub for the traces of the wine bottles. After finally grabbing the bottle, Keiko quickly poured herself a large glass of whiskey. It seems that Lin Xiuyi is not the only one who borrows alcohol to kill his sorrows tonight.

As a glass of spirits was drunk by Jingzi in one gulp, the discomfort in her stomach and severe headache finally made her forget her feelings for Lin Xiuyi for a while. Maybe it's because the feeling of alcohol is too uncomfortable, and two lines of hot tears slipped down the corners of Jingzi's eyes.

"Lin Xiuyi, you idiot!"

Keiko scolded as she threw the bottle in her hand on the wooden floor. Immediately after, the sound of Keiko crying came from the bathroom.

What kind of status does Lin Xiuyi have in Jingzi's heart? Maybe the prospect didn't realize the importance of Lin Xiuyi, but at this moment, Jingzi felt unprecedented loneliness. This kind of loneliness, even when she was in prison, Keiko had never felt so strongly. Because at that time, she knew that Lin Xiuyi would definitely do everything possible to help her get out of the predicament. And now, Keiko, who has a pass to success, feels deep doubts about the decision she has made for the first time.

For Keiko, her ambition has never changed. Becoming a politician and transforming the country on her own terms is what keeps Keiko going. In order to realize this ideal, Jingzi has never allowed herself to slacken.

In fact, with Jingzi's outstanding appearance, there has always been no shortage of excellent suitors around her. However, Keiko knows that she doesn't want to rely on her appearance to get what she wants. Because she thinks that she is no worse than men, after just passing the parliamentary secretary exam, Keiko chooses the object of Nobuko Anten's composition, which is also a single woman.

After graduating from Tokyo University, she had worked alongside a member of the Diet and Minister of Justice, which gave Keiko an impeccable background. But this alone is not enough, Keiko knows that if she really wants to become a politician like Nobuko Ando, she will have to work a hundred times harder. Because she doesn't have any political assets to inherit, everything needs to be fought for by herself.

This time, in order to pass the "Recidivism Prevention Act" advocated by Nobuko Ando, it will pass smoothly in the Diet. Keiko cleverly took advantage of Hamada's death and set a shocking trap. She used Lin Xiuyi's connections to guide the Metropolitan Police Department to put pressure on the Jozan faction of the Democratic Constitutional Party. At the same time, after the police finally cracked the case, Minister Ando was arranged to take the initiative to show goodwill to Shinsuke Shiroyama. In the end, the evidence of foreign political donations in the hands of Daichi Hamada was used as a breakthrough to successfully pass the first law after Nobuko Ando became Minister of Justice. It can be said that it was Keiko who single-handedly helped Nobuko Ando gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Justice.

As a reward for Keiko, Nobuko Ando arranged for Keiko to study at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Don't think this is just a learning opportunity. You must know that many politicians who are active in the world politics have been graduates here. Singapore's Prime Minister, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and many Japanese ministers have studied here. So this opportunity is a rare opportunity for Jingzi, who was born in an ordinary family, to really enter the political arena.

It's a pity that Keiko, who finally got this opportunity, was not as happy as she imagined at this time. The conspiracy set up by her and Nobuko Ando, although they deceived the scheming Shinsuke Shiroyama, they were not able to escape Lin Xiuyi's eyes. Jingzi's behavior deeply hurt Lin Xiuyi's trust in her, and when she felt that she could finally entrust herself to Lin Xiuyi, she didn't expect Lin Xiuyi to choose to leave because of her complete disappointment. Being rejected by a man in that situation, Lin Xiuyi's behavior not only deeply hurt Jingzi's heart, but also caused Jingzi's self-esteem to suffer a serious blow.

"Would you like to make a phone call and talk to him about something?"

Jingzi, who was a little hesitant in her heart, picked up the mobile phone that she put beside her and opened the address book on the phone casually. When she finally found Lin Xiuyi's phone. She finally gave up on what she had just thought.

"Forget it! Since you missed it, don't regret anything! After all, she is not the kind of woman who only needs love to be satisfied! Jingzi knows deeply that she still has a longer way to go!"

Thinking of this, Keiko stood up from the bath. Then he picked up the bathrobe and put it on his body, and left the room full of alcohol step by step.

Keiko returned to her bedroom. She gently opened the closet, then carefully took out a suit from the closet and placed it on her bed.

This is the clothes left by Lin Xiuyi, and Keiko has always treasured this set of clothes in her bedroom. Although the materials used in this suit are not high-end, Keiko likes to feel like touching it with her hands. Every time she saw this outfit, the past between Lin Xiuyi and her would slowly come to her mind.

"Forget it, there's nothing left to be nostalgic about, so let's leave Tokyo early!"

Jingzi said to herself ruthlessly. Then he put the suit back in the closet. Keiko picked up her phone, found the airline's number, and dialed it.

"Moses Moses, this is Japan Airlines, how can I help you?"

"That...... I booked a first-class ticket from Tokyo to Boston in 15 days. Can I change the date of departure?"

"Are you still flying from Tokyo to Boston?

……

"Hello guest, we found out that the last flight took off the day after tomorrow, do you want to advance the departure date to the day after tomorrow?"

"Hmm...... Just do it!"

"Hey, we'll change it for you!"
