Chapter 224 - Story Of Nina Li

CHAPTER 224: HE HAS NO RIGHT TO GET JEALOUS

* * *

It's been two months since the new school year began.

Steven became the Vice President of the Student Council, which Dean Collins has no objections to.

Steven is showing how serious he is with his role. Also, the Shang Enterprise donated an enormous amount to the school as the tremendous support. And the happiest person about it was Chairman Leeroy Collins, Dean Collins's grandfather. 

Harry is still in second place while Steven is the top student in their first quarter. Dean Collins could not complain after seeing how the twin brothers helped together to manage the Student Council, though he still believes that Harry can do better than his twin brother's results. 

"Hi, Harry!" Kristina was on her way to the library when she bumps into him.

Harry halted, he turned around to face the girl. "Hello, Kristina." 

"Where are you headed?" Curiously, she asked Harry with a sweet smile across her lips.

"I'm going to the Library. How about you?" 

"I'm going to the Library too! I have a low score in my English Language. I need to read more English books. Or maybe novels. Can you recommend good books?" 

"Hm… Sure. If you want the materials to study, better you try the Literature shelves." 

"I was told by my professor. But I don't know what best books to read that will help my lessons." 

"Okay. Let me show you something." 

Harry escorted Kristina toward the Literature section. He showed her the book he studied when he was a freshman student. 

After a week, Kristina looked for Harry, and she found him in the library. She wanted to share the good news. Finally, she could follow her English Language lessons.

"Harry, the book you recommended helps my grades to grow! My prof is praising me now, so thank you!" 

Harry beamed, she told Kristina, "No problem, it was a small thing."

"It's not! You help me a lot from the beginning! Sam is right. I can trust you and be the one I hang out around." 

Harry creased his forehead while pushing a timid smile. He gaped at Kristina and pondered. How if he rather falls in love with Kristina? 

She is beautiful, and every man wants her as a girlfriend. In these passing months, he never saw her dating someone or heard had a boyfriend. Can it be true what Ash and Lee used to tell him that Kristina likes him?

"Kristina…"

"Harry…"

They both laugh after speaking at once.

"You go ahead!" said Kristina, plastering the sweet smile on her face.

"No. You can talk first. I mean, ladies first." 

"Okay. Thanks! Well, I just wanted to invite you to have coffee. I mean, I want to treat you for helping me. So, it's a "Thank You" treat!" 

"Sure." 

"Really? Great, then!" 

Harry and Kristina went to one of the cafés inside Collins University. They ordered a to-go. And stroll through the University campus back to their dormitories. 

There was a long silence and seemed no one wanted to break it but focus on sipping their coffee. 

Halfway to the dormitory, Harry finally speaks up. 

"Are you free on Saturday?" He asked. 

Kristina brightens her face. But it made her nervous about why Harry suddenly asked her. However, as a woman, she wants to assume and hopes that the person she had a crush on would ask her out. 

Casually, Kristina replied. "I have the afternoon shift by Saturday. I will be off by the evening. You guys plan to come by at the diner?" 

"Ahem!" Harry clears his throat when the coffee burns his tongue. "It will be only me." 

"Huh?" 

"Would you mind if I pick you up?"

Behind Harry's calm expression is a sigh of relief that he said it properly. He asked no one out yet. Kristina is the first woman he would go on an actual date. All he has in the past is group dates, and they forced him to come along to complete the pairing.

"Oh, you mean…" Kristina blushed. It was because of a series of scenes already playing on her head. She and Harry on a date? Her head is working out already if what dress she should wear that night.

"I would like to invite you to watch a movie if you had no other plans," asked Harry.

He was honestly nervous. How if it was Nina he was going to ask out? Was he able to open his mouth? It seemed— 

"Sure! I heard a beautiful one is going to show this Saturday! I wanted to watch it. But the girls had a practice to their cheer dance." 

Harry came back to his senses upon hearing Kristina's voice. Suddenly, he fell into his thoughts about Nina. He already swore to himself to forget her. But here he is, remembering about her.

He shook his head. Harry glanced at Kristina, pushing a smile, he uttered, "Hm. The game will be next Saturday." 

"Yes! You're going to watch, right?" 

"Well, yeah. I have to when it's my job, after all."

It causes Kristina to laugh, which makes her even more beautiful. "Oh, right! You're the Student Council President."

Harry now also laughed. He tried to sound kiddingly, and Kristina bought his attempt to be funny. He said afterward, "See you on Saturday, then?" 

"Yes! This coming Saturday, right?" 

"Yeah. I'll pick you up at the restaurant." 

"Sure! I'll be waiting." 

They are close to their dormitories, Harry and Kristina went separate ways. Harry waves before he turns around and walks toward his dormitory. He found Steven having a wide smile on his face while looking at the photos in his hands. 

Harry glanced at Steven's desk. He is familiar with the envelope. Then it was Nina who sent those photos.

And it means Nina only mailed a letter for Steven and nothing for him. Could it be that Nina finally stops sending him a letter?

Anyway, why is he sulking now? Isn't he giving up on her?

Obviously, the only person Nina has reason to write to is his future husband. Besides, it was his fault. After that International Match, Steven kissed her at the airport. He ignored all of Nina's recent letters. 

"Harry, look at this! Isn't it beautiful?" Steven showed the picture when he and Nina, standing under the Eiffel Tower when it burst its thousands of golden lights. "I would love to bring Nina back to Paris, and at that time, it will be our honeymoon!" 

A knife, slowly slicing through his heart. But he has no right to get jealous. 

Forcing a genuine smile, Harry said, "She deserves to travel the world…"
