When I saw someone in the circle of friends ask this question, I thought about it and tried to answer it:
This is in line with Harmon's character. He feels uneasy and resists the connection of feelings, and even shows a little indifference. After he became famous, he didn't pay back the money, went back to see Sabei, and didn't care about where his black sister, Jolin, went to when he was a child... ... cut off all ties with the orphanage.
Finally, Qiao Lin came to her and brought news about the orphanage.
A girl like Harmon only regards everything as a secret and hides it in her heart, including her love and family... In the world of love, she is unable to sustain herself and can only rely on winning chess games to entrust her life.
This is also the character and destiny of most geniuses.
