Gradle Sync Error: SSL peer shut down incorrectly

I'm using IntelliJ to synchronize Gradle. The Gradle project is provided by IntelliJ template, but still the error persists.

I've tried to:

1. Use Android Studio to do the same thing, same thing happened.
2. Reinstall IntelliJ, no use.
3. Clear the proxy settings, no use. I DID use VPN in the past, but not changing the proxy setting in the IntelliJ.

My system: MacOS Big Sur

So this is the error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

This is my gradle build script:

plugins {
    id 'java'
}

group 'org.example'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.7.0'
    testRuntimeOnly 'org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.7.0'
}

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

A ZILLION THANKS!!!!!!!!
