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
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
