2021-06-07 18:10:10"Ohh dear what happened? Your eyes are puffed out..", shouted mom early in the morning. "Did you not sleep the whole night? Did you play with your phone the whole night again?"
"No...... mom I was ... reading the whole night..... besides my university is starting soon.....", she was a little nervous.
"Study?? did I hear that right?? You are studying?? That also the whole night and on the weekend? How am I supposed to believe you?", Mom was surprised.
"Aww come on mom believe me. I swear I studied the whole night.", Sharlene rasised her three fingers.
*Note: Three fingers lifting means making a promise.*
"Okay let's see your university grades will show.", said mom with a little angry expression.
"Okay mom, I need to go meet Clara. She said we are having hotpot together. Bye mom.", Sharlene said and hurried towards the door.
"What? Hotpot in the morning? Are you crazy? What if something happens to your stomach?", mom was holding a broom in her hand.
"Mommm, it's not that we are gonna have hotpot right now. We will eat noodles and discuss about out majors and go shopping and eat hotpot later. Okay bye Mom I'm in a hurry", Sharlene left.
"This girl..... I'm so done with her.", mom sighed.
Mom's phone rang.
"Hello"
"Hello, is this Mrs. Jennifer?", said the voice.
"Yes may I know who you are.", said mom
"Please come to Hangzhou cancer hospital right now, we have an emergency..."
Mom's eyes were filled with tears when she heard it...
...
"Hello"
"Sharlene... Come to H cancer hospital right now."
"Mom... Is something wrong? Who's in the hopital?"
"Come and you will know."
Sharlene rushed to the hospital. She hadn't been so nervous in all her lifetime.
"Excuse me, can you tell the room no of Mr. Andrew?", Sharlene was covered in sweat and she was breathing fast after running the whole way to the hospital.
"He is in operation room right now. It'd be better if you could pay the fees.", said the nurse looking at the bill.
"How much is it?", Sharlene was nervous.
"20,000 yuan please.", the nurse looked at her. *(20000 yuan means about 3099 usd)*
Sharlene gasped. Where would she get all that money?
....
"I am a student. Do we get some discounts?", she was twitching her fingers as she spoke.
The nurse looked at her "do you have your student card?"
"My university starts from tomorrow. I have 1000 yuan now. Tomorrow I will get my card and I will bring it here. Till when can I pay the money?"
"Your relative shall be staying at the hospital for 15 more days so you can pay until then. If you show your student card then we can give you discount. after discount it'll be 18000 yuan.", nurse looks at Sharlene's nervous eyes and twitching fingers.
.
.
"Dad!!! are you alright?" Sharlene came in shouting.
"Sussh! he's sleeping. So what did the nurse say about bill?", mom lowered her voice
"She said total fee is 20,000 yuan and I shall get a discount as a student so total is 18,000 yuan. I had 2000 in my credit card so I gave them all. We still have 16,000 left"
"Holy crap! Its driving me crazy I only have 7000 yuan. Where do we get remaining 9000 yuan???", mom gasped.
"Don't worry mom, take care of dad while I find some solutions."
.

"Hi I heard you are hiring a waitress so I came to apply. My name is Yang Sharlene."
"hello could you please give us your contact information, your birth certificate and citizenship."
"Yes here you go. And may I ask how much is the hourly payment?"
"Ohh, it's 500 yuan per hour.", manager looked at her information.
'wow that a lot of money with this I will be able to pay the bill soon' Sharlene thought.
"Thank you for applying. We will inform you today evening via message till today evening.", the manager smiled.
.
.
*Ding *
Phone rings...
Sharlene hurried towards the phone.
' Congratulations!! You have been hired as a waitress.'
Sharlene's heart fluttered. She'd now be able to work and pay off her father's bill with her own effort.
...
*The Next Day*
"Heyy you sleepyhead wake up!! Did you forget your university is starting. You need to move your belongings to your dorm.", mom was shouting.
"ermmm...hmmm... muuummmmm can't I just sleep for a feww moreee tim.....", Sharlene was half asleep.
"You brat do you even know its already 7 am!! just wake up or else I'll beat you."
"Mooomm you are so naggy... Finee I'll wake up.", Sharlene looked at the clock,"Mommmmmm, Why didn't you wake me soon.... Ohh noooooooo I'm gonna be late. Then I can't find a good bed in dorm. Mommm whyyyy.....", She gasped.
"You stupid little brat, I woke you up, 10 times before this and now you have the guts to say these to me? Hurry up and get dressed Daniel said he'll pick you up."
"Really Mom??"
"Yes hurry up."
*She felt the same feeling of her high school back then.*
"Sharlenee... Sharleneeee... are you there... hurry we're late!!"
"Comingg.... Byee momm... I'll miss youuu."
"Ahhh there we go my girl has already grown up. Now the house will be so silent.", said mom wiping tears mixed with feelings of both sadness and happiness.
"Aww come on Mom I will be back on the weekends. After all it is not that far either. Don't cry. Besides I'll be in the same province as you and I will call you frequently. I see you still love me hehe." She grinned.
"Silly girl! I always love you"
"Okay bye mom! Take care of yourself and daddy too I will visit him frequently. Besides I've found a part time job. It'll help clear the bills."
"Bye dear, dont go too hard on yourself. I will also find some ways. Study hard, take care."
...
"Hey how do you even get time to get dressed so well."
"I look good in whatever I wear.", Daniel smirked.
"Hah, don't get too high on yourself."
"I heard you got a job?"
"Who said?"
"Well... I heard the conversation between you and your mom."
"So, you were eavesdropping on us? You prick.", Sharlene raised her eyebrows.
"Okay okay.... sorry your highness... now don't give me that scary look..... So why exactly are you doing a job when you shall be studying?"
"Erm I want to... yes I want to do it for fun"
"You know you cant lie to me..", he knew she was hiding something from him.
........
"Well.... There we go university's here lets get off."
Daniel suddenly clasped her hand.
"No.... we wont get off unless you tell me the truth", he gave a cold stare.
"Fine, My dad got an operation and the bill is 20,000 yuan, we were able to pay 11,000 but we're running out of money so I need to work for 9,000 yuan.", she sighed.
"Why worry? My cousin is doctor so I'll ask him to let you get more discount. Wouldn't it be okay?"
"No! I can't accept that. Other patient also have to pay and they afford it. And I should pay it with my own efforts. Besides I want to work too. Don't bother."
They came out from the car. The atmosphere in the university was refreshing.
"Excuse me, which major are you choosing?", asked a volunteer.
"Oh hi! I am choosing architecture and he is choosing engineering, can you guide us?", Sharlene was smiling
Her smile made Daniel's heart flutter.
"Little meowww"
"Sharleneee"
Came two voices from the crowd. It was Lex and Clara.
"Heyy don't call me with that name.", Sharlene was agitated.
"Heyy Sharlene. We'd better get the same dorm now. You two go fill the forms. Sharlene and I will also go fill it."
Daniel gave a cold stare to Lex.
They all filled their forms.
"Okay we will go to our dorms and unpack our things. We will meet you guys later. Bye Daniel! Bye Lex.", Sharlene waved at them
"Bye meoww",Lex shouted.
Daniel waved and smiled at her.

"Phew that was a long way. I'm so glad we got in the same dorm Clara. I'll take the upper bed you take that one okay.", Sharlene was exhausted. "No!! the upper bed is mine and dont dare even look at it", came a voice. They both turned around to see a fine looking girl with slim legs and nice figure but with a cold attitude. She looked like a pampered princess of rich family. Sharlene and Clara rolled their eyes at her. She even had some servants to bring up her suitcase and unpack her things. "I came here first so it's mine." Sharlene gave a cold stare. "I will call the mistress and tell you to throw you out of the dorm if you dont obey me.", said she in an ordering voice. "Heh, you think too high of yourself. You aren't in home and just remember we all have the right to throw you out" Sharlene went up the bed unpacked her thing. The girl stomped her feet and went outside slamming the door. "Who is she? she thin

The bus stopped at the huge gates of the university. Everyone started getting off the bus. Daniel was sitting coldly in his seat still glaring at the two. "Hey! We're here lets get off.", Lex stood up. Sharlene and Lex got off the bus. Daniel was staring at them with such a cold stare that it would give chills to whoever looked at him. The sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky. The warm breeze swirled to and fro making the grass of the ground tilt side to side. The air was mind refreshing. All students got off the bus, making a crowd in front of the giant university gate. Sharlene turned around to see two glaring stares at her. It was Lin Lin and Daniel. "Hey! You two, dont give me that scary look, I am getting creeped out.", Sharlene touched her necklace. Daniel looked at her happily touching the necklace that Lex gave (or so in his mind) not knowing that it was actually her own. "Hey you!! you will need to pay for what

Sharlene was heading toward the library when someone patted her shoulders. She turned around to see a girl, she was smiling. "Hiiii!!! Do you know Daniel Wu?", She asked. "uhh... yes....", Sharlene was confused. A stranger popped out all of a sudden and asked her about Daniel. "Can you do me a favour?", she gave a cute look. "Yes?", Sharlene was still confused. "Can you give this to him??", she handed a piece of paper and ran away. Sharlene was confused. She opened it. There was a letter inside. It read- "Dear Daniel, I can’t keep this secret any longer. I am probably going to deeply regret this, but I feel that you need to know the truth.... I really like you a lot.... a lot more than you could imagine, I haven't told you this because I know that you dont like me back. But I think you deserve the truth.

She walked as fast as she could. She hadn't felt so nervous in all her lifetime. By that time the echoing footsteps had stopped. She turned around. She saw the classroom of agriculture department. She hurried there. Fortunately, no one had locked the classroom, she hurriedly went inside locked the door from inside. The room was all dark, only small lamp light's shadow could be seen through the window. It was dead silent. The empty seats all over the classroom made the room even scary. Lin Lin crouched in one of the corners. She hurriedly took out her phone. And called Sharlene. "Sorry the number you have dialled is not available at the moment. Please try again later." Lin Lin was highly strung at the moment. The silent hall seemed creepy at the dark, until when the soundless hall was broken by a bang of door. Someone was knocking on the door heavily. Lin Lin hadn't been so nervous in all her lifetime. She started sobbing. Out of nervousness she dialled

"Ding.." The phone rang. Sharlene hurried towards her phone. It was a message from Daniel. It had been nearly 3 days since she started avoiding Daniel and she kinda missed him. "Hey Sharlene how about we read together in the library this afternoon?" But, She couldn't meet him beacuse of all those crazy simp girls. Some girls even sent her message telling her not to get close with him. She didn't want further misunderstandings so she was trying to avoid him with all sorts of excuses. "I need to meet professor Luo this afternoon, Sorry...", she replied. Daniel was heartbroken. 'why is she avoiding me? Am I too late? Does she hate me now? Did she start hating me because I left suddenly without even telling her? Does sh
