Jessica looked at Casper and asked, "How can I believe what you're saying now?"
Casper stared back at Jessica.
She continued, "You said that back then, your parents took your money. How can you guarantee that they won't take it again?
"If they ask for your money again, will you just leave without a word and make me wait for so long once more? It was a year and a half the first time. That means it would be fifteen years on the tenth time. How much more time do I have to wait for you?"
Casper knew he was at fault, so he could only apologize. "I know I was wrong. I promise you there won't be a next time. Break up with Steven and get back together with me, okay? I beg you."
Jessica hadn't completely forgotten Casper, but she had her principles. "No. Now that I've decided to be with Steven, I won't leave him unless he gives me a reason to. What you do with your life is your business, and it has nothing to do with me. So please, just leave me alone."
With that, Jessica walked past Casper and entered the dormitory.
Casper waited at the entrance for a long time, but Jessica never reappeared. He understood that he couldn't change her mind no matter how long he stayed. Defeated, he finally left.
Later, he collaborated with classmates on projects, and whenever possible, he made sure to be near Jessica.
Meanwhile, Steven still possessed the arrogance of youth, convinced he was the most impressive man around.
