In the afternoon, Alan came to pick up Dai Li to take him to his training ground as usual. Without Alan, Dai Li wouldn't dare enter that black neighborhood alone.
However, Alan was a little bit depressed today.
"Alan, what's wrong? Are you sick? You look quite depressed," Dai Li asked.
"Li, I have to leave Los Angeles in a few days," Alan said.
"Are you going back to Virginia?" Dai Li continued to ask, "Is something wrong with your university application?"
Alan nodded, "My mom went to some really good universities in Los Angeles, but none of those universities were interested in me. They even refused to give me a chance to tryout."
"Then what are you going to do?" Dai Li continued to ask.
