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

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
The scorching sun and the sound of cicadas broke the sky. A classroom on the second floor of Rising Sun Middle School. Mr. Smith stood on the podium, giving a lecture with a triangular ruler. His coat was mostly wet with sweat. It was so hot that it seemed to bubble. The fan on the ceiling was running and making a lot of noise. In this high temperature, the wind seemed to be boiling. The students below also looked sleepy. He couldn't help being a little grumpy. "Look at the blackboard." Noticing the state of the girls sitting in the third row, Mr. Smith frowned slightly and slapped the blackboard harder with the ruler. "Do you hear me? Look at the blackboard! " Several students who were about to fall asleep suddenly woke up, opened their eyes wide, and forced themselves to look at the blackboard. One girl did not seem to hear, still bowed her head and painted on the paper with a pencil. She had a beautif
Staring at her for a long time, the man seemed to think of something, with a trace of absurdity in his eyes. Then his interest came up inexplicably. He drew his eyebrows and eyes, and deliberately lowered his voice, “Yeap." "…" Ashley could not calm down and was on the verge of collapse. "Do Mom and Dad agree?" It was quiet for a few more seconds. The man licked the corner of his lips and said with a smile, “Sure." The voice fell, and Ashley was stupefied again. Compared with Liam's voice, this voice was a little more clear and moist, and when he spoke, the ending would be long, and it sounded ambiguous and affectionate. Compared with her brother's voice and tone that was always cold and strict, this voice was completely different. "Kiddo." He chuckled and continued, "Come and see if brother looks better." Ashley instantly sensed that something was wrong. At this time, there
If the person standing in front of her at this time was Liam, she wouldn’t tell him. But now, this was the first time for Ashley to meet this person. From the beginning of the first sentence, Jacob was particularly gentle, as if he would not lose his temper when he heard anything. She could not see through him, and because of this alienation and unfamiliarity, she dared not be too presumptuous. As long as there was the slightest change in his tone, Ashley would completely lose the courage to continue to hide. Ashley was silent for a few seconds and confessed reluctantly, “I didn't listen in class." Jacob, “Ok." "My teacher asked me to get up and answer the question, and I answered it." Ashley paused and slowly organized the wording. "Then he asked me if I wanted to take his place and be the headteacher of our class. I didn't think it would work, so I refused. " "…" Jacob:? Ashley glanced at him carefully, as if
Ashley's appetite suddenly improved, holding the bowl and finished the porridge with a grunt. She rejected her father's offer to drive her to school, she put on her school bag and went to school by bus as usual. As she approached the station, Ashley bowed her head and struggled to find the student card in her schoolbag. Ashley noticed the convenience store nearby. She hesitated and went in. The convenience store was small in area and the freezer for drinks was left at the door. Ashley stared at the row where the milk was placed. No one knew what she was thinking. Seeing that she had been there for a long time, the clerk standing at the cashier could not help asking, "Kid, do you want to buy milk?" In normal times, Ashley must not bother to care. But at the moment, she inexplicably looked back and pointed to her school uniform, “I'm in junior high school, so don't call me kid." Without waiting for the clerk to respond, s
Ashley actually didn't know how old he was. But when she heard what he said, and was reminiscent of Liam's age, she sullenly said, "You are quite old." "..." You are quite old. Quite old. Old. Although Jacob didn't care about his age, he still felt like being stabbed in his heart when he heard this sentence. He was given the label of "old" as soon as he turned 20, and Jacob didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He breathed out slowly, and asked word by word, “Am I old?" Ashley nodded, “Yes." "..." There was a few seconds of silence. "Kiddo, you think I'm old," Jacob stared at her straightly, probably because he felt too absurd and speechless, "Then why don't you call me uncle?" "Oh." Ashley thought for a while, felt a little reasonable, and immediately changed her words, "Uncle." "..." The little girl's eyes were round and big, clear and clean, without any impuri
Ashley's volume was not loud, and her tone was calm. But maybe it was because the content was too shocking. At this moment, it was like using a loudspeaker to amplify the sound and spread it into the ears of two other people. The silence was broken, and the atmosphere relaxed for a moment. Then, it entered a more embarrassing situation. Jacob narrowed the corners of his lips but still did not speak. The woman couldn't see what he was thinking. ‘Was it pricked, or was it just a trivial joke?’ The smile on her face couldn't hold back, and the hand holding the phone was gradually lowered. Ashley quietly glanced in the direction of Jacob. She happened to meet his eyes. She immediately lowered her eyes, carried her schoolbag to her chest like a guilty girl, fumbled for the phone inside, as if she was just a background cloth. A few more seconds passed. Jacob retracted his gaze and followed Ashley's words and said, "Well, I'm a jerk."
Liam suddenly turned off the tap, turned, and put the remaining water on Ashley's face, “I'll give you two options. Go back and watch your stupid cartoons, or stay here and let me beat you up. " "Why are you angry?" Ashley wiped the water off her face and frowned. "I'm the one being scolded, not you." Liam put the inner tank into the rice cooker without looking up. "There's the door." Ashley didn't move and said solemnly, "Anyway, don't tell anyone. I look like you." He turned his head and laughed, "Don’t bother!" With that, Liam pinched her face, grabbed the bowl of strawberries in her hand, and walked out of the kitchen. Ashley rubbed her face subconsciously, noticing that her hands were empty, her eyes suddenly widened, and asked in disbelief, "You robbed my strawberry?" "Why is it yours?" Liam picked up one and bit. "Did you buy it?" Ashley reached for it and said, "I took it out of the fridge." Liam raised
