The touch was extremely brief, roughly less than a second.
Ashley's mind was still blank, and she hasn't even had time to react.
The next second, she felt that Jacob seemed to freeze, and then immediately stood up straight and took a step back.
There was a short distance between the two.
The position where they stood was behind the bus stop, with the light behind them, extremely dim.
Ashley raised her head subconsciously and looked dull, facing his slightly dark eyes.
She didn’t know what was going on, but she dared not look at him and immediately withdrew her eyes. Inexplicably, she took a step back, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.
She had no idea what she should react.
‘It seems strange that if the reaction is too big, but if the reaction is too small, it is not appropriate.
Or I can just pretend nothing happened.
Treat the accident as a trivial matter, and then continue to have a normal
The cramped two-bedroom, the other bed was vacant. At this time, there was only one commendation in the ward, and the room was too quiet, empty, and lonely. He lay flat on the bed, with his Adam's apple slipping. His lips were straight and there was no expression on his face. Ashley couldn't see what he was thinking. Without hearing his consent, Ashley dared not go in and asked again, "Is that all right?" Jacob just opened his mouth and asked softly, "Have you eaten yet?" "I just went to the neighborhood to buy a loaf of bread," Ashley blinked, hesitantly walked up to him, and showed him the bag. "and I also bought a box of oolong tea." "That’s not enough." Jacob glanced at her and said, "Let's order a takeout." Ashley shook her head. "I'm not very hungry." Jacob, "You haven't eaten anything yet. Why aren't you hungry?" "Just not hungry." Ashley put the bag on the table next to he
Hearing her words, Jacob looked sideways at her. His eyes were a little bright in the gloom and the corners of his lips bent. He said with interest, "Can’t finish it all night?" "Right." "Little Ashley is so attractive." "Sure." Ashley took it for granted, "I'm beautiful." Jacob picked his eyebrows and said nothing. The sudden silence seemed to deny her words. Ashley was in a bad mood. She took back her eyes and picked up the phone on the table. "Go to sleep," Ashley said. "Why do you like snooping into the lives of young people?" "..." Ashley snorted, "You don't understand anyway." "You and your brother did it on purpose, didn't you?" Jacob said loosely, "Attack my age all the time." Ashley looked at him and said, "How can my brother attack you? Aren't you two the same age? " "He thinks he's young." Jacob chuckled and mentioned what had happened just now. "All rig
Out of the ward.Jacob looked sideways at her.Today, he changed back into his clothes, a short army green coat, a white sweater, and slim black trousers.His beard was shaved off and he looked a lot younger, like a college student.He leaned slightly and looked squarely at Ashley.As if he thought it was new to hear such words from her, he bent his lips and joked, "Get married as soon as possible?"Ashley stared at him, too, without blinking, "Isn't that what you took first?"Noticing that she was really in a bad mood, Jacob raised her eyebrows and stood up, "Are you mad?"Silent for a few seconds."No. It's just, brother, "Ashley stopped and said very seriously," Don't joke like that again. "‘Even if I knew it was a joke.But because I knew it so well, he wouldn't really like me.So, I didn't think it was funny at all.’He could magnanimously regard this as a joke, and when he s
Ashley thought his reaction was a little scary. ‘What's wrong with this old man? Did she react too much just now? But would she be human if she stood by and watched him be bullied and did nothing like a bystander?’ Ashley felt that she did nothing wrong with her. "Brother, you don't have to worry about what happened just now." Ashley thought about it and said, "When I was blackmailed in the second year of junior high school, you helped me, too." Jacob nodded. Ashley added, "Now that you are old, it is my turn to help you." "…" Just passing a trash can, Ashley threw all the paper towels in her hand. When she looked back, she noticed that Jacob's expression froze and the smile on his face disappeared a little. He looked a lot more normal. It was as if he had come to his senses and reflected what the thought that had just popped up was. Then Ashley saw. Jacob drooped
Maybe it was because of what happened today. That night, Jacob had a dream. In the dream, he received an admission letter from South Star University and dreamt that a week before the report, his mother Mary gave him the money he was prepared to go to college and was robbed by those so-called "creditors". He dreamt about that night. The family house has long been sold. They rented a house with one bedroom and one living room. His mother lived in the bedroom, while he slept in the living room. Jacob found many part-time jobs during the summer vacation and came home late every day. That day, when he got home, he heard Mary on the phone. She was on the phone with her uncle, a relative who gave her a lot of help. The phone was in the living room. Jacob saw Mary on the phone and said hello to his uncle. Then she smiled and said slowly, "Brother, Jac has been admitted to Nanwu University." After saying
Looking at his back, Ashley hesitated for a few seconds.She wanted to crumble on his back, but she seemed to remember something. She quickly withdrew her hand and said solemnly, "No."Hearing this, Jacob looked back, "Again?"Ashley nodded and said, "The doctor said you should avoid heavy manual labor for three months."Jacob was slightly stupefied, and the corners of his lips bent up, "You still remember being so drunk?"As if she didn't hear what he said, Ashley didn't answer, but kept her eyes down, snapped her fingers, and slowly counted, "You did the operation in November. So, December, thirteen, fourteen. ""No."As if finding something was wrong, Ashley frowned, "Twelve, thirteen."... ""...."Jacob smiled, "Twelve, one."It was only then that Ashley looked at him.Her mind was as confused as a ball line. She didn't know why she jumped from twelve to one. She hesitated and said, "That's, that's a fe
"..." Ashley was stunned and stopped her action of checking the phone. She raised her eyes and looked at him. Her head went blank in an instant, and she had the feeling of hearing him wrong. The car was quiet and echoed with soothing music. After a long time, Ashley regained consciousness and responded dully, "What?" Jacob looked ahead, the outline of the side face was three-dimensional, and his Adam's apple was pulled out of a good-looking line. Hearing her voice, the corner of his mouth went up a little bit more, and his tone was careless, "Why?" Ashley whispered, "What did you just say?" Jacob didn't seem to understand, "Hmm?" Ashley, "Ah?" "What?" He looked gentle and calm, and laughed several times, "Did I speak?" "…" Ashley paused and wondered, "No?" Jacob was still smiling and did not speak. Ashley looked at him strangely, slowly withdrew her eyes, and tilte
After getting on the plane, Ashley found her seat, told Liam, and then turned off the plane.The plane taxied, rumbled, and rose into mid-air.Ashley pulled the bezel off the window and looked out.She watched the city of Silver River gradually shrank in her own eyes and was covered by a white fog until she couldn't see it clearly.She withdrew her eyes and rested for a while with her eyes closed, still not sleepy.Ashley simply took a comic book from her bag and turned to the page she saw last time.But she couldn’t focus.Ashley breathed a sigh and slammed the cartoon shut.She started thinking about last night again.She sat on the ground playing with the snow, and then Jacob appeared. She began to cry, saying that she had a person she liked, and then vomited on him.Then she said a lot of messy words, crying and shouting, extremely embarrassed.After that, he carried her back to school, and she di
