Not knowing if his voice was too loud, or because what he said was too unacceptable, Ashley obviously looked shocked and stood still.
The footsteps of the two stopped at the same time.
The silence made the atmosphere awkward.
Ethan stared at her eyes and gradually dodged, and his ears became blushed.
He touched his head, pretended to be calm, and asked, "Why don't you talk?"
Ashley didn’t respond, a little at a loss.
It was not that she hadn't been confessed, but she usually got love letters or text messages. This was the first time to have a face-to-face confession, not to mention such a high profile.
"Ah."
Ashley directly assumed that this hypothesis was true, she suddenly became curious, "Do you remember when you knocked out one of my teeth?"
"…"
Ethan extremely regretted this, but he did do it, and now he could only defend himself in a far-fetched way, "It happened many years ago. Didn't I break my f
It can't be less than 1.2 meters tall. Ashley picked out the keywords. Less than 1.2 meters. Ashley was completely attracted by the words and did not notice what Liam said to the person next to him, let alone what the man lying on his stomach looked like. At this time, the sun was shining, it was shady but not cool under the tent. Her face was slightly flushed by the sunshine and she felt so irritable that she could not stand her brother’s sarcasm. "I’m more than 1.2 meters." Although Ashley felt that she didn't need to prove this, she couldn't help arguing, "I'm 1.55 meters tall, ok?" "Wow, this classmate is 1.55 meters tall, but you look…" Liam casually turned over the list. "Quite short." "…” "Well, you'll have to say it in advance. Otherwise, it is easy to misunderstand. " "…” ‘Does she have to say "I'm 1.55 meters tall" when she sees everyone? It's like showing off.’ "See for
Liam was a little out of breath, and his neck flushed slightly. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched. As if he were choking, he coughed violently. "Ah," Mr. Smith didn't react. He looked at Liam's face, and his expression became complicated. "Ashley, you said this is your father." Ashley was scared to death and made up a lot of images of being abused by everyone after being debunked, which was like the end of the world to her. She was not strong enough to speak anymore but nodded. Staring at Ashley's expression, Jacob suddenly bowed his head and laughed loudly. The little girl's eyes were round and big, covered with wet tears, red all around her eyes, and her cheeks were smudged, looking awkward and pitiful. Her appearance blocked what Mr. Smith wanted to say. ‘The person who was described as "father" by Ashley stood with "Ashley's elder brother". They were obviously of the same age and wore the same volunteer costume.
After the ice compress, the wounds on the hands and knees were treated, and the pain was relieved a lot. Ashley's mood was not so bad anymore. She has been taken care of in this way since she was a child, so there was nothing wrong with her except that she felt a little close to him. Ashley looked at him and murmured, "I didn't ask you to do anything." ‘Just rub the ointment and wipe my face. It's not like it's hard for him.’ "I suddenly have a sister, and your biological brother has run away." Jacob raised his eyelids and stood up straight. "Kiddo, do the math for yourself, how much brother has helped you?" Ashley paused for a moment and could not help saying, "Then I can help you." As if Jacob thought this was interesting, he sat down next to her, turned his head, and smiled, "Well, what are you going to do for me?" “Just,” only one word came out, then Ashley stopped because she had no idea what she could do t
Ashley didn’t expect that, so she didn’t say anything. She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was just after 4:30. There was still an hour to go before 5:30. There were uncontrolled little expectations fermenting in the heart, mixed with a few inexplicable nervousnesses. But soon, thinking of what she had promised to Bella, all her emotions were left out one by one. Ashley was a little unable to say it, but she felt that it was not good to go back on her promise. She looked in the direction of Bella and looked extremely hesitant. Unable to wait for her response, Liam asked again, "Do you hear me?" “ Ah,” Ashley spoke slowly as if she didn't hear clearly. Liam repeated reluctantly, "I said, Jacob, will pick you up later, around 5:30. He should call you then, so you can do your homework in your classroom first. " Ashley, “5:30.” Liam, "Mm-hmm. Remember, don't get anyone into trouble. "
It was getting dark. One side of the street lamp has not yet been lit, which made the eye color of Jacob even deeper. He looked steadily at Ashley, his lips slightly straightened without moving. She was unable to see how his mood was. Such a quiet, like the calm before the storm. Ashley added nervously and anxiously, "My parents never hit me." His eyelids moved and suddenly noticed a particularly conspicuous mark on Ashley's clean school uniform. Located next to the neckline, it was obviously burned out by cigarettes. Jacob looked at her and thought he was wrong, so he slowly drew closer. But Ashley thought he was really going to teach her a lesson, clenched her lips, looked afraid, and resigned to flatten her hidden hands behind her and put them timidly in front of him. Jacob's Adam's apple rolled down and pointed to her collar. "How did you get it?" Ashley was stunned and looked in the direction he pointed out.
It was early five o'clock in the afternoon, and although the sun was not as violent as noon, it was still dazzling. The smell outside the alley was not very good, John did not let Ashley stand there with him foolishly. He looked around and took her to a small stall nearby and bought two bunches of rock candy strawberries. Two people found a shade, each one holding a bunch. Afraid of Ashley's embarrassment, John took the initiative to chat with her, "It's a bit of a mess around here. Don't come here if you have nothing to do, okay?" Ashley obediently said, "Got it.” “Mike was supposed to come over." John said, "Do you remember, that big guy? But he didn't come because he had something to do today. " Ashley didn't like to eat the candy wrappers on it and tore it off little by little. "Yeah. During the summer vacation, my brother took me to have dinner with him. " John, "Ah, maybe I had already gone home at that time, so I
Jacob bent down and looked down at her. She said softly, "I should return the money back to you." When Jacob wanted to say something else, he looked up and suddenly noticed Liam's expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly, changed his mind in an instant, and smiled "OK." Later, Jacob took the money and said leisurely, "Thank you for giving brother money to spend." "Liam, I feel more like Ashley is Jac’s si..." Before John finished, he suddenly sensed Liam's mood and immediately withdrew his words, leaned over, and patted him on the shoulder. "Forget it." Walking back to the gate of South Star University, four people separated in pairs. Ashley bit off the last strawberry and looked at the back of Jacob subconsciously. Before long, her eyes rolled and suddenly caught up with Liam's unfriendly eyes. She felt guilty for no reason and immediately pretended that she was looking at the scenery. "What are you doing?"
The sofa in the living room was L-shaped, with a transparent coffee table in front of it. Jacob and Liam sat side by side. The seat at the left end was empty. Ashley just subconsciously sat there, right next to Jacob. At this time, because of this sudden situation, Ashley's head went blank. She even forgot to put her phone away, and her phone was still facing Jacob. She looked restless and nervous. When Liam caught a glimpse of her, he threw the game controller aside, frowned, and asked, "Kid, what are you shooting?" Ashley didn't know how to explain it, but she looked up. Noticing the direction of the phone, Jacob raised his eyebrows and smiled. Then he leaned forward slightly, closer in the direction of Ashley, and said with interest, "Well, you were shooting me." Ashley shrank back and immediately take her phone away, "No, no." "No?" "...” "Why did you shoot brother?" Jacob dra
After so many years of being with Jacob, Ashley has hardly seen him get angry. Occasionally he really got angry, and it didn't take long for him to become calm, and he didn't seem like a normal person with a good temper. Ashley never thought that one day, she would also see what he said. "Have you ever seen me lose his temper? It's scary." He lost his temper all of a sudden. Ashley didn't notice it at first, because he got angry and was no different from his usual state. But indeed, she was a little scared by him. In the second semester of Ashley’s junior year, the students around her began to look for internships one after another. Previously, Ashley's idea was to come out to work directly after graduation, but after discussing with Jacob, she decided to be a graduate student at South Star University. So while others were interning, Ashley was preparing for the exam for graduate students. With fewer cou
Ashley remembered Jacob to help her meet the teacher, but she has long forgotten that Ethan was also present at that time. It has been seven or eight years since this happened, and her impression has faded a lot. But at the mention of Jacob, Ashley's memories came up in an instant. She was silent for a few seconds. "Did you just remember?" Jacob coughed softly and said nothing. There was a crack in Ashley's expression in his reaction, and she understood it in an instant. She stared at him for a long time and said blankly, "Then why didn't you explain it just now?" Jacob smiled, " I'm afraid I'm thinking too much." Very justifiable. But obviously, he guessed what Ethan thought. Ashley took a deep breath and could not help but reach out and pinch his waist, "Don't pretend." Her strength was not strong but seemed to tickle him. Jacob laughed so much that he was out of breath and spoke with a
Ashley didn't notice anything wrong. After hanging up the phone, Ashley turned out her cell phone calendar and looked at it. After calculating the time, she found that she had not delivered food to Jacob for nearly a week before she knew it. Somehow, it was probably the tone of Jacob just now, and Ashley was a little guilty of no reason. Afraid of forgetting it, Ashley specially set an alarm clock before going to bed. When she woke up the next day, she found a food video she was interested in, watched it in bed several times, and then went into the kitchen. Ashley tasted while cooking and felt that today's cooking was better than what she had done before. She licked the sauce on her lips. Thinking that she may tell Jacob that she did not send him food recently because she was practicing her cooking skills? She has been thinking about it for a while. Ashley carefully set the plate for the bento, put it in
Ashley had nothing to do during her summer vacation and spent very leisurely time. Sometimes she was asked out by my friends, and most of the rest of the time was spent at home drawing. She would meet Jacob occasionally. Unlike her, Jacob was busy with her work. He worked overtime until 11: 00 or 12: 00 every day, and his rest time was squeezed out like squeezing toothpaste. Except for the occasional single day off, there was little time every day. Normally, Ashley can only take advantage of the mealtime to go to him. But compared with her when she was in SL when they were in a different place, they were much better. Knowing that starting a business was tiring and Jacob was spending as much time with her as possible, Ashley did not feel angry but thought that this day was too boring. It was like this for a week. Ashley began to find something for herself to do on the original thing. Ashley inexplicably b
Because of his convenience, Jacob drove the car directly to the airport. He wanted to send Ashley back to school halfway, but she wanted to see him off, soJacob didn't stop her. On the way, he contacted a reliable driver, and when he got to the airport, he accompanied her and waited for the driver to come. He took his time and didn't worry at all, but Ashley panicked and dragged him to the airport. "Don't wait, it's too late." Jacob followed her strength and said with a smile, "it's still early." Ashley, "I'll take you to the security check, and then come out. The drivershould be here." Jacob thought for a moment and did not object, "OK." "International Labour Day, I'll go home. I don't need you to come here." Ashley walked next to him and said slowly, "Also, I just bought you a box of food online, which should arrive tomorrow." "Good." "Don't eat takeout all the time, and don't be too lazy t
The auditorium was quiet for a moment, and then Ashley heard someone laughing around her. She didn't know if anyone else was taking pictures, but she silently took her phone back and locked the screen. At this moment, Ashleyinexplicably raised a sense of jubilation. Fortunately, no one here knewthe relationship between the two of them. This episode addedup to less than five seconds. The next second, Jacob finished the next words calmly and seriously as if nothing had happened. The smile on his face was shallow and he looked cold and attentive. Ashley really thoughthewasgood. She has never seen such a manwhen she has grown up. After seeing that he had finished his speech and returned the microphone to the host, Ashley suddenly remembered something, picked up her phone, and sent him a message. [Sit in your seat first.] Ashley:[I'll see you when we get out of school
Following his movements, Ashley lowered her eyes and stared at the bright lock screen interface.She raised her head again, her lips moved, and when she wanted to say something, Jacob had already stood up.The eyes staring at her were gentle and ambiguous.This row wasfull of students.Noticing the movement here, they couldn't help watching it.Ashley didn't know most people.The several students sitting next to them were all brought by the same mentor and can be regarded as acquainted with each other after they have met several times.But Ashley was familiar with none of them, so they haven't seen Jacob either.It seemed that Jacob just came to remind her of replying.He nodded his head, took a step back, and turned his head back to his original position.After he left, the classmate next to Ashley leaned over again, "What's going on? Is that handsome guy here to flirt with you? ""But..."The
Everyone thought it was too early to think about it. Ashley was still young. They didn't spend much time together. They thought that there may be changes in the future, and maybe in a few years' time, it will no longer be in such a state as it was now. Perhaps all things, would not follow the track, in the middle, there will be some variables. As a result, it was nothing more than. Separate. But this was something that Jacob has never considered since he was with Ashley. He was never with her with an attitude that might be separated in the future. From their first day together, he was thinking about their future. The forever future. Jacob remembered that Ashley lay on his back that day, crying and saying, "Why am I 19 years old? Can I be 29 years old? I don't want to be so young." It should be at that time. She knew that her parents disagreed being with him. But she was wo
Mike was fat, after getting married, under the moisture of love, he was even fatter. He took a deep breath, pointed at him, and put it down. It was like he just felt like he could put up with it. In less than three seconds, Mike raised his hand again, pointed at him the second time, and growled, "How do you f*cking know my exact weight?" "I really guessed it," Liam said coolly. "I deliberately guessed lower." Mike could not accept this humiliation and looked at Jacob, "Jacob, do I look that fat?" Jacob, "No." His words soothed Mike's mood in time. He was a little angry, but he was still angry at Liam's tone, "You son of a b*tch, from now on, don't contact me, or I'll hit you." Silence for three seconds. Jacob added with a low smile, "I thought you were 100 kg." For a moment, Mike's anger was filled with a few traces of sadness, looking at Jacob as if he were looking at an unfaithful man. "Why did
