"Younger brother, don't be busy, go and sit down." Seeing Jack serving food and rice, Emma kept waving her hand. 

"Yes, Jack, come and watch TV. Men who like to do housework will not achieve much in the future." Sitting in the living room, Leon said flatly. 

Jack was so amused that he couldn't figure out where his brother got these fallacies. As he set the bowl and chopsticks on the table, he said, "Elder brother, there is something I want to discuss with you." 

"Oh." Seeing that the food was almost served, Leon stood up, stretched himself greatly, walked to the table, and sat down. He first looked around at the food on the table, raised his nose, and sniffed it, feeling fairly satisfied. He asked, "Jack, what's the matter?" 

"This is about the application." 

"You have already filled in the application form, haven't you?" 

"Yes, I want to change it." 

"Change for what?" 

"I don't want to go to business school. I plan to enter for the police school." 

"What? Change for police school? Do you want to be a policeman in the future?" Leon frowned while his eyes were fixed on his younger brother. 

Jack remembered Bruce's warning to him, so he did not dare to disclose the audit. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good to be a policeman..." 

"What? Do you think the police are so good? Is it not dangerous to be a policeman? Besides, if you become a policeman, how will you help me after your graduation? Can you still take that MB or something?" 

"MBA." Jack added in a low voice. 

"I don't care whether it's MBA or MBB, any way you have to come to help me after graduation. I won't allow you to be a policeman." 

Jack knew it would turn out like this and sighed. He had long expected that his elder brother would definitely oppose him to enter for the police academy. It would not be easy to persuade his elder brother.

"Leon, your younger brother has grown up. You have to let him make his own decisions about some things." Emma put the last dish on the table and then sat down beside Leon. 

"Shut up, it's our brothers talking now." Leon shouted at with a straight face. 

"Tyrants." Emma murmured in a low voice, picked up a piece of chicken, and put it into Jack's bowl. She said, "Younger brother, do what you think in your heart. I support you." 

It made Leon’s eyebrows stand up angrily. When he was about to speak, Jack spoke first, admiring, "The food made by Emma is really delicious. Your cooking is almost better than that of my mother." 

What he said instantly extinguished Leon's rising anger. He picked up the chopsticks and muttered, "Is it really that delicious?" 

Actually, Leon was not a picky person. His principle of finding a girlfriend was also very simple. There were only two. First, his girlfriend should love him. Second, his girlfriend should love his younger brother.

There were only two principles as simple as these, but many women could not perceive them and could not do them. Emma was the first to realize this and she did. 

After taking one bite, Leon did not say it was delicious or not, but took several more bites in a row. 

Seeing his reaction, Emma knew that the food he cooked today was very successful. She looked at Jack and asked, "Younger brother, why do you suddenly want to enter the police academy?" 

"I want to get rid of evil for the people." Jack said jokingly. 

Emma was amused and giggled at him, while Leon was almost choked on the food in his mouth and shook his head and said, "You want to get rid of evil for the people? You must be careful that you are the first to be removed. It takes a strong sense of justice to be a policeman. How many people can really stick to it?" 

"So, the muddy water needs a breath fresh air. I have no ability, but I am willing to be a breath fresh air." 

"Shut up! You still want to be a breath fresh air. With your character, I think you will have to go with the flow." 

"At best, I just drift with the flow, not be a rascal. Otherwise, I will make our ancestors lose face." 

"Jack, you really don't want me to eat this meal happily, do you?" 

"We'll eat first and talk about the application later." Jack changed the subject, picked up his rice bowl, and stammered. 

Although he said so, he already had an idea what to do. He could also test the ability of Bruce and he would delay a year at most.

Emma was in distress situation and looked at their brothers. Although their appearance was very different, one was more resolute and the other was softer, their personalities were actually very similar and both were extremely stubborn. 

On Monday night, Jack was still receiving extra tutoring in the school and his mobile phone was humming. 

He took out a look and it turned out to be Joyce’s mother's call. He couldn't help frowning. Joyce’s mother seldom called him, especially at this time. Was it something that happened to Joyce? He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. 

He hung up the phone first, stood up, and said to the teacher who was lecturing on the platform, "Teacher, I don't feel well. I want to go home first." 

Jack's achievement had always been very good. More specifically, he was outstanding in the class and even in school. Although he often asked for leave and found out various reasons for not coming to school, his grades had never dropped. 

Naturally, the teachers in the school also liked such students best. After hearing this, the teacher came up with concern and asked, "Does this matter? If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital." 

Jack said cleverly, "Thank you for your concern. I should be fine if I go home and take some medicine." With this, he began to pack up his schoolbag quickly. 

"The college entrance exam is coming soon and your body can't have a problem. You'd better be careful and go to the hospital." 

Before Jack could answer, Ivy, who was sitting in front of him, stood up and said, "Teacher, I'll take him to the hospital." 

"Well... All right." The teacher thought for a moment, nodded, and told them, "Be careful on the road."

"Yes, teacher." Ivy immediately began to pack up her schoolbag. 

Jack frowned secretly and murmured in his heart that she was really meddling! 

He walked out of the classroom first and Ivy followed him out soon. 

Jack walked through the corridor patiently and then down the stairs and went out of the teaching building. He stopped and waited for Ivy to catch up with him. He looked back and said, "Go back. You don't have to go to the hospital with me." 

Ivy looked at him intently and could not see any pain in his face. She asked, "Didn't you say you had a stomachache?" 

"I was in great pain just now and I am much better now." 

Ivy snorted as if she had grasped his shortcomings and said, "I know. You want to skip class again, don't you?" 

Jack scoffed and said slowly, "I won't go to the hospital anyway. Now I want to go home. Don't you want to go home with me, do you?" 

Ivy felt stunned at first, then blushed, and said angrily, "Who wants to go home with you?" 

"Then you can go back to class." Jack said and then walked out of the school gate without looking back. 

Ivy stood motionless in a daze and looked at his back with a complex expression. 

She also didn't remember when she began to pay attention to Jack. Maybe it was when she found that no matter how hard she worked, her academic performance could not surpass him. 

Ivy's academic performance was also very good. She had always been at the top of the class, but she had never won the first place, because there would always be another name, Jack, in front of her. 

She had been paying attention to Jack for a long time. Jack was very calm in dealing with people and gave the impression that he was a good student with little temper and amiable, and had good relations with teachers and classmates. 

In Ivy's impression, he did not seem to have any disputes with other people, of course, except herself. 

However, if she observed it carefully, she would find that Jack was actually the most inaccessible person in the class. 

There seemed to be an invisible wall around him, and he was isolated from the crowd. You could only see his outside, but you could never touch his inside. 

Ivy concluded that Jack looked like water on the outside but he was the ice on the inside. Even if the water outside was boiling, the ice inside was still frozen and cold. 

When Jack walked out of the school gate, he could still feel a burning eye staring at him behind him. He didn't know what Ivy was thinking, and he didn't want to think about it. To him, she was just a person who had nothing to do with him. 

He walked out of the school gate, took out his cell phone, and called back Lucy's phone number. It took a while for the phone to be connected. The phone came Joyce's mother’s crying voice, "Is it... Is it Jack?" 

"Aunt Lucy, it's me. What's the matter? Is it...Joyce not eating again?" 

"Joyce... Joyce just committed suicide by jumping off the building..." 

It was like a bolt from the blue and it made Jack felt buzzed. His body trembled twice. He felt a little shaky and then sat down on the square brick of the road slowly. 

He held his cell phone in a daze and sat motionless on the ground. 

"Joyce is very good all day today, and she is also very good at night. She ate more than usual. Who knows... Who knows she will..." Joyce’s mother couldn’t continue and it only came a burst of grief-stricken cries. 

For Joyce’s mother's next words, Jack didn't hear clearly. His brain seemed to have stopped functioning. His heart had only one thought, that was, Joyce committed suicide and left him...

Johnny was clearly dead. The hatred for Tom and her have already been avenged, but why did she choose to commit suicide? Did he do something wrong? 

He couldn't understand. In any case, he couldn't understand what it was for.

He also didn't know how long had passed when Joyce’s mother calling his name continuously, he came to his senses suddenly. 

He felt his face was cold, so he raised his hand, touched it, and found that his face was full of tears. He sniffed hard and sobbed, "Aunt Lucy, I'm listening. Joyce...Where is Joyce now?" 

"In the first aid ward on the third floor of the Central Hospital..." 

"I'll be there now." Jack hung up the phone and stood up trembly, feeling that the whole world was spinning. He fell to the ground again nearly.
