Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 49

It wasn’t really serious that time when Kathy pushed Jacob downstairs.

There was no sign. Jacob Jiaxu didn’t even know Kathy was near him.

Because she suddenly pushed him down from behind.

Off guard, he leaned forward and fell, but fortunately, only his forehead was hit.

It was when students went out to do exercises.

All around were classmates. Some people retreated to watch the show, some people stood in place and whispered to the people next to them, and a few people persuaded Kathy not to go too far.

James, next to him, helped him up.

Noticing the movement there, a classmate immediately ran upstairs to find the headteacher.

In that year, Jacob was not yet fifteen years old.

Teenagers were too young to be emotionally easily adjusted and camouflaged.

Even if he had a little shame because of his father’s sins, it was instantly gone because of Kathy’s behavior.

He rubbed the blood off his forehead with the back of his hand, looked up at Kathy, and forcibly suppressed his anger, “Should you apologize to me?”

Kathy stood in the same place with her arms folded, her eyes red, but her words were extremely cruel, “You are still alive. Why should I apologize to you? I pray for you and your mother to die early every day.”

Listening to this, Jacob slowly broke James’s hand.

His teeth gradually tightened, the muscles on his face twitched out of control, and his eyes were cold to the extreme.

Jacob walked up in silence.

When he came to Kathy, he repeated again, “Shouldn’t you apologize to me and my mother?”

Kathy stared at him, her voice shrill, “What did I say wrong! You don’t deserve to be alive! ”

Jacob’s anger surged upwards.

He laughed angrily, reached out, and grabbed her arm tightly, trying to treat her in his own way.

The headteacher happened to arrive.

At this time, Jacob also heard a classmate around him whisper, “How could he have the nerve to let Kathy apologize to him? ”

As soon as the action of Jacob stopped, he was also stopped by the headteacher in an instant.

Then, he saw that Kathy, who was supposed to be the perpetrator, suddenly began to cry when she saw the headteacher, with a jerk on her shoulder, pitiful to the extreme. “My father is dead.”

The headteacher even comforted her.

Also because of Jacob’s behavior just now, she accused him, “Jacob! What are you doing?! Don’t you have the slightest sense of shame? ”

At this moment, in the eyes of the people around him, he seemed to be the culprit.

The headteacher forced Jacob to apologize to Kathy, but he just didn’t say a word.

Instead of standing there, he turned his head and left, went to the toilet to wash the wound, and only returned to the classroom after hearing the class bell.

It happened to be the class of the headteacher.

Watching Jacob walk into the classroom, the headteacher stopped the class and sneered, “You don’t even respect your teacher. I’d like to see what kind of person you can become in the future.”

Jacob sat back in his seat.

James whispered, “This old woman has taken the wrong medicine recently.”

He took the book out of the drawer and said nothing.

“Forget it,” James couldn’t help saying. “after all, your father really killed her father, and you owe her. She will be all right in the future. ”

Jacob opened the book and the wet water on his face slid down his chin and dripped onto the textbook.

Hearing the words, his eyelids moved, and he glanced calmly at James. After a long time, he laughed mockingly.

Jacob suddenly understood.

He could not show a little anger, nor could he express the slightest dissatisfaction with the harm he had suffered, otherwise, everyone would think that he and his father were of the same kind.

He had to be gentle with everyone.

He had to smile.

To be a person who didn’t seem to be aggressive at all.

In that year, the word “moral kidnapping” had not yet emerged.

Jacob has already clearly felt it.

After hanging up the phone, Ashley walked around the nearby convenience store and ended up with only a piece of fudge.

The shop was empty and no one was seen except the clerk.

Ashley found a seat, took out her mobile phone, and told Jacob her specific location.

She was afraid of affecting his driving and didn’t say anything after that.

She found a cartoon she was chasing recently and looked at it.

The temperature inside was higher than that outside, and it was a bit stuffy after sitting for a long time.

After reading the last part, Ashley raised her head, looked out of the window, and suddenly noticed a small booth outside.

At this time, two girls had just left, holding a big fluffy mass of white in their hands, which looked like clouds.

A man was selling marshmallows there.

Ashley was interested in it, went out of the convenience store, and ordered one in front of the booth.

Seeing the production process, she also asked the man a few questions from time to time.

Looking at the growing white marshmallows, Ashley looked at the colorful canisters next to her and could not help but make a request, “Can you sprinkle some pink sugar on it?”

The man smiled and said, “Sure.”

The next moment, the voice of Jacob suddenly came from behind, “Why is it pink?”

Ashley was caught off guard and turned back subconsciously.

Jacob stood behind her. He leaned slightly and his head was slightly sideways.

Ashley met Jacob’s eyes and the distance between the two was much closer.

Only about twenty centimeters.

Then, Jacob bent the corner of his lips and said, “Did you feel pink when you saw your brother?”

“…”

The man also spoke out at this moment, “It’s done.”

Ashley withdrew her eyes and took the marshmallow, “Thank you.”

She took the small tag and turned it around in her hand.

Ashley thought it was good-looking, and she didn’t bear to eat it, so she turned her head and looked at him. “Why are you talking so cheesy?”

Jacob raised his eyebrows, “Am I?”

“Yes.”

Jacob smiled. “How do I feel it sounds quite romantic?”

“.”

Ashley could not tell whether he was serious or joking. After thinking about it, she changed the topic. “Did you drive here?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Ashley, “Where did you park your car?”

Jacob pointed, “Over there.”

“Oh.”

Thinking about his overtime work, Ashley casually asked, “What did you have for dinner?”

“Takeout.”

“What would you like to eat now?”

Ashley reached out and carefully tore a piece of marshmallow, and then breathed a sigh of relief, “I just finished eating. I’m not hungry.”

After a pause, Ashley added calmly, “But I can accompany you to eat.”

Staring at her behavior, Jacob did not reply, with a few traces of playfulness in his eyes.

When he noticed that Ashley raised her hand and tried to put the marshmallow into her mouth, he suddenly bowed his head and bit the small piece of marshmallow she had just torn off.

His behavior came all of a sudden, Ashley was stunned, looking blankly at the little residue left on her finger, and then looking at him unexpectedly, “What are you doing?”

Jacob licked his lips and said naturally, “I want to eat marshmallows.”

“No.”

Ashley was very protective of food. “This is mine.”

Jacob looked at her for two seconds and laughed aloud.

Then he took a tissue from his pocket, wiped her fingers clean, looked up at her, and joked, “Cheapskate.”

Ashley frowned, “It’s you.”

“Eat quickly,” Jacob stopped teasing her. “It will melt later.”

Ashley tore another piece and crammed it into her mouth, “What would you like to eat?”

Jacob, “Have a bowl of noodles.”

Ashley pointed to a restaurant. “It’s quite good.”

“OK.”

The two went into it and took a seat.

Jacob simply ordered a bowl of noodles and asked for nothing else, and casually asked, “What have you been up to recently?”

“Our school is going to have a digital media art competition recently, and I’m going to take part in it.”

Ashley said honestly, “I’ve formed a team with some people and decided to make an animated short film, but I haven’t decided what the content is yet.”

Jacob made a hum.

Ashley added, “I was going to make a micro movie, but I feel that many groups will choose this. Then if I choose the game design, I don’t know how to program it. ”

Jacob said, “I know.”

That sounded like showing off.

“…”

Ashley looked at him and said, “You can’t help me compete.”

Jacob half-joked, “We two can form a team together.”

Ashley warned, “You are not a college student anymore.”

Jacob said casually, “Hmm? Don’t I look like one? ”

“…”

Soon, the noodles Jacob ordered were done.

Ashley ate more than half of the marshmallows in her hand, and the rest gradually melt in the indoor temperature.

She wiped her hands with a paper towel.

Jacob seemed to have a poor appetite and ate slowly.

Ashley took out her mobile phone and looked up at him from time to time.

Seeing that there was no less for a long time, she couldn’t help asking, “You don’t want to eat?”

“No,” Jacob said. “I’m stalling.”

“…”

“Eat slowly and put it off for two hours before I send you back.”

Hearing this, Ashley paused, looked down at her cell phone, pretended not to care, and pretended to say calmly, “It won’t taste good later.”

Jacob chuckled but said nothing.

She said a few more things casually, and Jacob responded normally.

She didn’t notice it at first, but after a long time, Ashley always felt something was wrong.

She felt that he smiled a lot tonight, but he didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

The corners of his lips were stiff and pulled upward, with a few traces of tiredness.

Ashley put down her phone and asked hesitantly, “Brother Jacob, are you in a bad mood?”

Jacob raised his eyes and seemed to find it interesting, “How did you find it?”

“…”

Ashley said, “Really?”

Jacob said, “A little bit.”

After thinking about it, Ashley suddenly regretted it and asked dryly, “Because I didn’t give you marshmallows just now?”

“…”

Ashley was a little at a loss, “Shall I buy one for you now?”

Jacob finished the last mouthful of noodles and drew a paper towel to wipe his mouth.

He raised his eyebrows and thought it was funny, “What are you thinking?”

Ashley, “Then why are you in a bad mood?”

Jacob said faintly, “Maybe I work too much overtime and I’m a little tired.”

The two stood up and left the noodle shop.

Ashley did not doubt, “Then stop it.”

Jacob, “Mm-hmm.”

Ashley thought for a moment, then suddenly took out the candy she had just bought in the convenience store, tore it open, and handed him one, “Have some candy.”

Jacob took it, and his eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly, “Are you treating me like a kid?”

Ashley blinked, “Like an old kid, exactly.”

“…”

Seeing that he had no movement, Ashley took one, tore open the candy wrapper, and handed it to his lips, “This candy is delicious, and my brother likes to eat it, too.”

Jacob paused, bowed her head, and bite the sugar.

Ashley stuffed the rest into his hand, “It’s all yours.”

Jacob stared at the candy in his hand and he smiled, “I was coaxed like this for the first time.”

What she just did was a little intimate, but Ashley didn’t want to see him unhappy.

She moved her eyes away and said harshly, “I just ate too many marshmallows. I don’t want to eat this.”

“Hmm?” Jacob raised his eyes, looked up at her, and his line of sight slid down inexplicably, stopping on her lips.

A few seconds later, his Adam’s apple slipped and he asked hoarsely, “Can I take more?”

Ashley also looked at him and said honestly, “But this is the only one I have.”

“…”

“I can buy it for you if you want.”

“Not candy.”

Jacob looked at her with bright eyes, deep and seductive.

He raised his hand, rubbed his finger against her lower lip, smiled, and asked, “Can I take your kiss?”

“…”

Ashley didn’t react, “What?”

He withdrew his hand and did not repeat, still staring at her.

Ashley even had the feeling that she was hearing wrong.

She couldn’t believe her ears. The roots of her ears turned red and she couldn’t say a word.

Jacob waited for a while and asked again gently, “Can I?”

Ashley regained her senses and immediately refused, “No.”

Jacob regretfully made a ‘fine’ and begged for the second place, “Then can I hold your hand?”

Ashley was a little overwhelmed, took a step back, and said solemnly, “If you do this kind of thing without us being together, you are playing rascal.”

Jacob said, “Can we be together?”

Ashley felt that her heart was crumbling and felt that as long as he said one more word, she would no longer be able to stick to her position and directly agree to it.

She pursed her lips and struggled for a long time, but in the end, she said, “You didn’t chase me much.”

Be silent for a few seconds.

Jacob murmured, “It’s true.”

“Well,” he said with a slightly frivolous tone, and seemed to consult her respectfully, “Can I be a rascal?”
