Alice hesitated, then started the game, rejecting his team request. Her heart pounded. But remembering the
headlines, her heart hardened. If he was getting married, why was he contacting her? The meeting he'd
mentioned-was this it?
Alice wasn’t focused on the game. Meanwhile, Daniel was stunned by the rejection. He checked Alice’s game
history; she'd been playing with the sman, whose usernwas identical to his. What was going on?
Daniel sent a screenshot to Jack.“[Bro, you made a new account? Why didn’t you addto your games with sis-
in-law?] Are you avoiding being a third wheel?”
Jack called, his voice tense.“[Who is she playing with?]”
“isn’t it you?]”
Jack gritted his teeth.”[No.]”
Daniel stammered, “[But sis-in-law has played many games with this guy; they're always together. | thought it
was you.]”
Jack’s face darkened, looking at the screenshot. This was why Alice was ignoring him? “[Bro, did you fight with
sis-in-law? Maybe it's a teammate; they're training.]* Jack finally replied, “We had a little argument.]”
“[Did you
reveal your identity? Is she angry?]”
“[No. I didn’t reply to her messages on time. Grandma got sick, and there was an emergency at the company. |
only replied the next day.]”

“[Bro, you're doomed. Not replying on tis a huge crime. Three days without a reply means. breaking up!
Explain to sis-in-law.]
Jack hung up, looking at his chat with Alice; she hadn't replied to his messages. He felt anxious- Three days
without a reply meant breaking up? He stared at his phone, looking serious.
“[Mr. Tremaine?]” An executive, noticing Jack’s seriousness, felt anxious. Jack snapped back, “[Continue.]” He left
the office, grabbed his jacket, and left, looking serious His assistant followed.“[Mr. Tremaine, what's important?]”
“[Very important. Continue the meeting. Brieflater.]”
Jack entered the elevator; he couldn’t delay any longer. He had to talk to Alice.
At the
garage, Mrs. Wilson called.“[Your grandmother woke up. Cto the hospital. She wants to talk to you.]”
“[Okay.]” Jack turned his car. He texted Alice, “[Meet at the gym tonight. | know you don’t have classes.]
Alice, finishing her game, saw the message-two hours ago.
Wang Yang offered her water.“[Practice tonight?]”
“[Gym tonight.]”
The one across from school?]”

Alice nodded; she needed to clear things up.
Wang Yang stood.“[Let’s go. | have a part-tjob at the gym.]” Alice knew he worked part-time
to earn money.
They went to the gym. Alice went to the boxing area and saw Wang Yang organizing equipment. She was
surprised.
You work here?]”
It was
Saw Alice's
[Part-time. | learned sboxing at another gym; the coach askedto teach.]” He red boxing gloves. [That
brand isn’t cheap. It a popular, sold-out model. Alice looked at the gloves; Jack had given them to her. Her
expression was strained.” [Let's spar.]” She hadn't scheduled a session.
Wang Yang helped Alice stretch, then they sparred. He stopped. “[You're more skilled. How long have you been
boxing?]”
“[About two months.]”
“[You're talented. This isn’t easy; there are many techniques. Your teacher must be professional.]* Alice thought
of Jack; he'd been her teacher. Her expression changed.“[Continue.] Her mind was filled with Jack.
Alice was distracted and took a punch.
“[Ouch!]” She fell, dizzy.
“[Captain, are you okay? I'm sorry.] Wang Yang was shocked.

“It’s okay. | wasn’t paying attention.]” It was her fault.
She stood; Wang Yang supported her.“[Rest.]”
“[Stop! What are you doing?]” Jack arrived, seeing Alice being held by a young man. His face darkened. He
rushed over.
Alice looked at him, her head still spinning. Before she could explain, Jack punched Wang Yang, who fell against
the railing.
Jack grabbed Wang Yang's shirt, his eyes icy.“[Get lost!]”
Wang Yang wiped his nosebleed.“[Why should | leave?]”
Jack saw the boy’s look and knew he was interested in Alice. He punched him again. Alice stopped
him.
“[Jack, stop! Why are you hitting him?]”
Jack turned to Alice.“[He was touching you!]”
“[He wasn’t.]”
“[1 saw it!]” Jack’s voice was angry.“[I thought you were ignoringbecause | didn’t reply, but it was because of
this guy, right?]”
Alice
was stunned.“[You think | cheated?] But you're the
one who cheated!”
