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.
<my girl!!!
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
Ashley was speechless by his words.She dared not look at Jacob and when she was nervous, her reaction was slow.The little man in the red hat on the screen fell instantly, accompanied by a line of subtitles of "game over".The quiet room reverberated with the background music of the game, cheerful and loud.In this atmosphere, it seemed too weird.Ashley noticed that Jacob took his eyes back and played with the buttons on the controller leisurely, making a click, and the rhythm was mechanical and smooth.Ashley didn’t know what he was thinking.She suddenly realized that she shouldn't have mentioned it.Ashley's mind went blank and she poked a watermelon into her mouth.This season's watermelon was not sweet, juicy but tasteless, not very delicious.She chewed slowly and found it a little hard to swallow. It wasn't long before she said vaguely, "I told my brother, too."The action of Jacob stopped.
‘What is he talking about? She is only in the second year of junior high school, and there are still four and a half years left when she graduates. She had planned to make up an excuse to go out with her friends and go over there to find him. But when he said that, she didn't even have a chance to come up with an excuse.’ Ashley was a little frustrated. "Isn't that a threat?" "Threat?" Jacob tilted his head. "You could say that." "...” "isn't that what you said, kiddo?" He pushed the exercise book in front of her and returned what she had said before. "It's better to study hard." "...” The matter has not yet come to an end. Ashley confessed to her "online love" on her own initiative and asked her parents very seriously whether she could take advantage of this winter vacation to find her "online love partner" in that city. She seemed to respect them very much. But she was so righteous, whi
The graduation ceremony was held in the gymnasium. But since it was still early, most people stayed outside to take pictures. Jacob was particularly popular and good-tempered and was dragged by many people to take pictures, so he didn't have much time to take care of Ashley Ashley did not intend to bother him. She wanted to go back to her parents, but because there were so many people, she did not know where they had gone. Jacob was afraid that she would get lost and that she would be squeezed by the flow of people. Finally, he simply pulled her to his side and told her not to run away. And he didn’t care that she was on camera. Ashley felt like he has become her little tail, a small tail with eyes who can't help looking at him secretly. Today, Jacob was wearing a unified black bachelor's suit and a big robe, which showed his thin and tall figure, noble and elegant. His skin was cold and white, his features were
The airport was spacious and brightly lit. People came and went around, and all kinds of voices covered Ashley's sobs. She felt a little embarrassed, wanted to find a hole to hide and tried to hold back her tears and pretend nothing had happened. Anyway, at least not like this. She felt extremely ashamed. The woman was very beautiful and soft. She looked like a very good person. In terms of life and emotion, she should be able to help him a lot. Unlike her, she was wayward and rebellious in everyone's eyes, like a burden, always bringing him trouble. From the beginning, she was an extraordinarily superfluous existence. Of no use. He also needed to use extra energy to take care of her when he was busy. Looking at the way Ashley dared not cry, Jacob suddenly remembered the first meeting with her. At that time, she would cry wantonly and had no scruples about anything. Has she really grown u
It was still hot in October, and the night was a little cool, but it still couldn't hide the gloom.At the moment of confirming that it was really Ashley, Jacob looked slightly down and subconsciously put out the cigarette butts. When he wanted to throw it into the dustbin, he suddenly noticed the lady's cigarette in the other hand.His movements stopped.Jacob raised his eyes and shook the cigarette in his hand at her. "Who taught you to smoke?"Haven't seen her for two years. The little girl was obviously much taller.The last time he met her, she just reached his shoulder, and this time she was able to reach his chin.There was no change in her facial features, only a little cleaner, a little more girlish than her previous childishness.She wore a pink slip dress and light blue denim shorts, revealing a thin waist and a well-shaped collarbone, as well as two slim, straight legs.Her hair color was natural light, with her hai
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
