He felt deep remorse and was ashamed of his actions, which in the strict legal sense of the word had broken the law.

He shook his head on the pillow in an attempt to banish the horrible thoughts. He didn't dare to think about the worse possibilities.

Later, what happened at Bai Xinrui's house was more like a ridiculous farce to William. That day, Bai Xinrui and Mrs. Bai confronted each other for him, and every word you said to me was as fierce as the exchange of fire between the two sides on the battlefield, but he couldn't understand a word.

Although his heart was clenched, the language barrier was always like a high wall, insurmountable and insurmountable. He felt like a deaf and dumb person sitting on the side, powerless to do anything about the development of events. That feeling reminded him that he and them came from two completely different worlds.

Faced with one of the biggest frustrations of his life, William found it difficult to sort out the intricacies of emotions for a while, and he admits that in recent days, he has deliberately avoided Bai Xinrui.

He thinks he is strong, but he needs a little girl to die to protect himself from more severe punishment, which makes him unable to face his heart, let alone face Bai Xinrui with peace of mind.

On the other hand, he faintly felt that the closer the two of them were, the deeper the estrangement would make him feel, this estrangement could not be seen or touched, but it did exist, and he needed more time and space to think calmly.

William's eyes flashed through the arduous and extraordinary journey from childhood to adulthood, at the beginning, he gave all his efforts to come to School A, he deliberately imitated the group of glamorous companions around him, integrated into them, and surpassed them with extraordinary persistence and perseverance, and finally, became the most eye-catching one among them.

Now, with Harvard's admission notice in hand, it can be said that it is one step closer to one's ambitions and ideals, and the future will be brighter. He might become a lawyer like Mr. Ryan, then run for Senator, then for governor, then become the top judicial officer in the U.S. federal government, or he could be a secretary, secretary of state, or even president...... He always believed that he was destined to have a brilliant life.

The clock on the wall was already pointing to two o'clock, and he couldn't sleep for several nights, living in deep self-blame and guilt, which made William thinner and thinner, and he forced himself to stop thinking nonsense, empty all the illusions in front of him, and find inner peace in his dreams.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Bai Xinrui's mother's gaze immediately jumped out of his mind and lingered. It was an indescribable poisonous gaze, under which his whole person, and their love, were being priced at a fraction of the corner, and cruelly and ruthlessly labeled with a price tag.

Her eyes reminded him all the time of the fact that he wanted to try his best to forget———— he was originally a poor boy from humble background.

There is no doubt that he has great talents, extraordinary abilities, infinite charisma, living in the praise of all people all the year round, he has been anesthetized, he is accustomed to his perfect image in the eyes of others, and enjoys the process of immersion, and over time he himself actually forgets that in the end he is not them.

Under Mrs. Bai's gaze, he felt that he had been beaten back to his original form, and re-examined the so-called talents, abilities and charms in himself, and he began to question this "perfect" self, perhaps all this was an illusion in itself, the glory of life he longed for did not belong to him at all, he should have spent his life ordinarily and laboriously like his honest and mediocre parents, after all, birth is like an imprint in the blood and soul, which can never be erased.

Is Mrs. Bai also disgusted with his humble family background? That's right, no matter how good he is in the future, no matter how hard he works, even if it takes twenty or thirty years or even longer, he will never be able to be on an equal footing with Stella's parents.

Bai Xinrui stood up from the hot air in the bathtub, stepped on the pure copper copper-plated drain with her jade toes, mixed with the hot water of milk, like a white whirlpool flowing at a rapid speed.

Rinsing herself again under the shower, she dried her body with a thick bath towel, blew her hair half-dry, and took off the flat pink silk pajamas from the hook by the bathroom door and put them on.

She tied her hair up with a fluffy cat-ear headband to reveal her smooth and full forehead, then ripped off a mask and applied it to her face, and walked out of the bathroom with pink jelly slippers.

Back in the single dormitory full of little princess feelings, she opened a delicate round silk satin brocade box, picked up a dry light brown agarwood from it, lit it with a lighter, and put it into the quaint ice cracked Jun porcelain small round bowl.

In an instant, a quiet, sweet fragrance with a hint of herbs wafted into the room, and Bai Xinrui took a big breath, and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

In the curling blue smoke rising from the top of the bowl, she saw William's handsome face.

The thought of her dearest William always reminds her of the little amber-eyed white lion she raised in her home in Rhode Island.

It is said to be a very precious feline, extremely rare in the world, with the blood of freedom and wildness flowing in its veins, and a staggering beauty and extraordinary intelligence.

When she took her for regular check-ups every month, the doctor would repeatedly warn her that this cat is difficult to feed, and it is extremely picky about eating, drinking, temperature, and humidity, and needs special care.

The cat bears a striking resemblance to William, who is equally intelligent, proud, and has a free soul.

Most of the time, it ignores people, with a noble posture, and does its own thing at an elegant pace, basking in the sun on the terrace, sleeping with its big tail on its pillow, standing quietly on the carpet in the center of the hall, observing the guests coming and going......

There was no doubt that it had its own ideas, and it was evident from its beautiful golden-brown eyes that it had a certain insight into the world, that it needed to spend its time freely, that everyone had to respect him, that he should pay attention to it, that the stars would gather around it like a moon, but that they would not disturb it.

Even with the gates and high walls of the house, the servants feared that one day it would disappear from the mansion. They try to create a sense of freedom in it, even if that means more careful protection and more secrecy of confinement.

If the little white lion and William were not two very different species, she would even have to suspect that they had similar bloodlines and origins.

As soon as he returned to school after spring break, William was often absent all day.

Bai Xinrui originally knew about William's busyness, however, she always couldn't suppress her various cranky thoughts: Obviously received an admission letter from Harvard University, Is William really that busy? The other 12th graders had already started to enjoy life, so why did he even regret spending a little more time with me?

Whenever this happens, Bai Xinrui always remembers the words that William said to his mother at home in Zuma Beach, Los Angeles: "If something like this happens, I will definitely be responsible for her life, I just want to tell you one thing, I really love her......"

At that time, despite her mother's aggressive attitude, William's determined eyes when she spoke, she will never forget it. It was a man's eyes that dared to take responsibility, and there was a strong love for her in it, which made her heart calm and calm.

Bai Xinrui shook her hair vigorously, as if to get rid of those unfounded worries, she said to herself: I am so beautiful, so cute, William must love me, no matter how much my mother obstructs him, he will never back down!

The state of the two of them being separated lasted for a few days, which was a kind of torment for Bai Xinrui, she was like a fish stranded on the beach, if she couldn't return to the river, she would die of anxiety on the shore.

You must know that the boys Bai Xinrui knew before have always been subservient to her, coming and going as soon as she is called, buzzing like flies every day, circling around her, and can't go away.

William was different, he was not a superficial person, and it was impossible for anyone to say to him: "Quick! Come to my bowl! And he did as he could, even if it was a golden bowl studded with precious stones.

This relationship with William is very different from the so-called romances that Bai Xinrui has experienced before.

The unilateral pandering, obedience and flattery from boys, which were originally taken for granted in her cognition, do not seem to exist in this relationship. William creates a kind of love with a fair overtone, which requires serious dedication on both sides.

In this love, Bai Xinrui felt for the first time that it was so hard to love someone.

She is often calculating in her heart, it is impossible to let William keep an elegant and distant distance from her like this, he has his own luminous body, he is a hot national male god wherever he goes, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in the school!

It's easy to fall in love and difficult to get along, Bai Xinrui understands this truth, she warned herself: Now, the time between the two people is still shallow, their relationship is like a palace built on the beach, she needs to mix some mud to consolidate the foundation of the palace.

In all fairness, when it comes to managing this love, Bai Xinrui has no ready-made experience that can be retrieved.

Although she has a knack for dealing with boys, she has so many tricks that she can use to peddle them, such as how to avoid the encirclement and interception of toad boys, how to make disobedient boys get out of trouble, and play a game of cat and mouse with more than two boys......

If none of these tricks were useful to William, it would be better to say that she was reluctant to use them against William.

If her love with William is compared to an exam, Bai Xinrui is the good student who has gone unlucky - 99% of the knowledge points have been reviewed, but unfortunately, the content of the exam is the 1% she knows nothing about.
