Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 70

Ashley was quiet for three seconds. “I don’t even remember my account.”

Jacob also stood up and picked up the luggage left next to him.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrow slightly, and after meditating for a moment, he gently and slowly said, “Then try to recall it.”

With that, Jacob led her to the back of the line.

As a matter of fact, Ashley hasn’t played this game much either.

When she was in junior high school, her friend encouraged her to sign up for an account. After playing several times, she felt that it was really not interested, so she unloaded the game.

She didn’t even figure out how to play and the rules.

Ashley glanced up at him, then quickly bowed her head again, pretending not to hear.

Jacob took their boarding passes out of his pocket and reminded her, “Do you hear me?”

“Oh.”

Jacob handed her her boarding pass, and continued to say, “Take a screenshot for me and prove it.”

Ashley’s scalp was numb and changed her words instantly.” I really can’t remember the account number. ”

Hearing the speech, Jacob raised his eyelashes and stared at her for a while, making a humming sound neither lightly nor heavily.

“What?”

Ashley was not sure if he was unhappy and whispered, “I don’t even remember my account number, which means I don’t care about this person at all.”

“I can’t remember if you didn’t mention it.”

“Kiddo,” Jacob called her, in a calm tone, “bigamy is against the law.”

The two entered the boarding bridge.

Ashley blinked and thought his remark was a bit silly, and inexplicably thought he looked lovely.

She raised her hand, poked his straight lips, smiling, and said, “There is no bigamy.”

Jacob glanced at her, “How old were you?”

“What?”

“At the time of online dating.”

Ashley muttered,” I don’t remember. ”

Jacob began to recall the past as if thinking about an extremely important thing. “The first time I heard it was when I was helping you with your tutoring, I listened to your brother mention it. That was the winter vacation of your junior year, the end of the first semester of your second year of junior high school. ”

Ashley pinched his face and interrupted him, “Don’t mention it.”

“You flew to SL in the semester of senior high school,” Jacob said slowly. “In that case, this online love lasted for two years.”

“Two years.”

Holding on to two of the words, Jacob repeated again, and he smiled gently and calmly. “Ut’s fine.”

The two of them found their seats.

Ashley sat on the side by the window, fastening her seat belt and watching Jacob put her bag on the luggage rack.

She lowered her eyes, thought about what Jacob had just said in the terminal, and sent a message to Liam. [Why did you call Jacob yesterday?]

After sending it successfully, Ashley turned off the phone without waiting for him to reply.

At the same time, Jacob put away his luggage and sat down next to her.

His eyes drooped, he did not take the initiative to speak, leaned over to check her seat belt, and then withdrew his eyes and sat calmly in his seat.

He didn’t act as usual, coming over to tease her a few words, playing with her.

Ashley thought this kind of feeling was quite magical.

The upsurge of unhappiness in his mind at this time was all because of a man who did not exist at all; or, in fact, it could be said to be him, but he had no knowledge of it.

Ashley had never seen him jealous, so his reaction still made her feel very novel and happy.

Her eyes bent into a crescent moon and reached out to hook his fingers as if to coax him.

Jacob leaned against the back of his chair and his eyelids were slowly raised.

Before long, his palms closed, pinched her fingers, and played with them carelessly.

“Although it’s been two years,” Ashley blinked and began to make it up. “but I haven’t talked to him much. I just talk to him on the game once in a while when I play the computer.”

Jacob was silent.

Ashley stressed, “So I didn’t put in any emotion.”

“It’s all right,” Jacob said with obvious disbelief. “there’s nothing wrong with a little girl falling in love a few more times.”

Ashley instantly remembered what she looked like when she first came to SL and cried for a long time at the airport.

It really didn’t look like she was not emotionally involved.

She fell silent, searched her mind for reasons, and quickly said, “The reason I cried before is not that that online lover hates me or anything.”

Jacob, “Okay?”

“Well, what’s wrong?”

“The reason I cry was that,” Ashley said solemnly and sincerely, “my online lover is really ugly.”

In front of this uninformed client, Ashley continued, “Old and ugly.”

In fact, Jacob was not angry, although he was really jealous, most of his behavior was to play with her.

Seeing that in order to coax him, she can belittle the person she once loved when she was young without blinking her eyelids, Jacob instantly became very pleasant.

Jacob smiled, leaned to her ear, and asked, “Really?”

Ashley nodded.

“He is so ugly that our Ash even cried?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Then look at me more,” Jacob rubbed her head. “you may but cry but laugh.”

At this moment, Ashley had the feeling of crushing his IQ for the first time.

She pursed her lips, reined in the arc of the corners of her mouth, pretended not to understand him, and solemnly asked, “Why?”

Jacob said again, “Look at me.”

Ashley raised her eyes obediently and stared at his face.

The next second, Jacob laughed and pinched her pear vortex.

“You see, that’s a smile.”

A few hours later, the plane arrived at SL Airport.

Ashley turned on her cell phone and found that Liam had not replied to her.

She didn’t pay much attention to it, so she got on the airport bus with Jacob, then changed to the subway and took it to the subway station near SL University.

After settling dinner outside with Jacob, Ashley stopped hanging out and went back to the dormitory.

This holiday, three people in the dormitory went home, but Lily didn’t go home.

Ashley came back early when Lily was the only one in the dormitory, and the other two had not come back yet.

Ashley said hello to her, then opened her school bag and took out everything in it.

Lily was watching the play while chatting with her. “If I knew, I would have gone back. It was really boring to be alone in the dormitory this week. How did you get through the summer vacation? ”

“Just tired.”

Ashley wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand and said casually, “When I come back from work every day, I don’t want to do anything but lie in bed, and I don’t even have time to feel bored.”

Lily, “Your internship makes me afraid of an internship.”

Ashley sat down in her seat, took out her mobile phone, and looked at it. “Actually, it was okay. I wasn’t used to it at first, but then it was much better.”

Jacob didn’t look for her, but Liam replied to a message.

Ashley clicked open at will.

Liam, “I didn’t say anything, didn’t bother to say, didn’t have the time.”

Ashley was a little confused and didn’t say anything.

After a while, Liam sent another voice message, “I know, it was Jacob who chased you.”

‘Am I not on the same channel as him?’

Since Liam didn’t say what it was, it certainly wouldn’t be too serious.

Ashley left him alone and left the matter behind.

After a long holiday, Jacob returned to the company and began to deal with the backlog of work for a period of time and worked overtime for a long time.

In addition to class, Ashley also continued to prepare for the competition.

Because of their own things, the two saw each other less frequently and occasionally went out for dinner, but they can only stay together for a long time on weekends.

When Jacob was free, he will come to accompany her in class and attend some parties with her.

He would pretend to be a college student from another school and say hello to her classmates.

When there were few classes, Ashley would go to the coffee shop downstairs of Jacob’s company to wait for him to get off work.

She did not know if it happened, or the other side deliberately, Ashley also met Kathy several times nearby.

But it seemed that she was just passing by and didn’t come to talk to Ashley, so she met her less often after that.

Over a long period of time, Ashley could calculate the right time. When she finished drinking coffee, she looked up and she would see him at the door.

They usually went back to SL University and find a random restaurant for dinner.

Occasionally, he would buy something to eat at the roadside stall. Jacob would suddenly bite the food she picked up when she wasn’t paying attention, and then laughed to make her happy.

For a few moments, Jacob would feel like he was going back to when he was still on campus a few years ago.

But it was no longer like at that time, life was nothing but making money and learning, as well as overwhelming pressure.

Instead of thinking about how to deal with his tuition and living expenses every day, he thought about the monthly recuperation expenses of his father, who was lying in the hospital two thousand kilometers away.

No longer like that, living was no more choking.

After graduating for such a long time, Jacob has already forgotten what it was like to be a student.

But he would feel that he really looked forward to college life.

Time went by day by day.

The season also changed from summer to autumn and into winter.

At the end of December, on the advice of the instructor, Ashley sent the final version of the manuscript to the teacher’s mailbox.

She stretched, breathed a sigh of relief, and then went out for dinner with three roommates.

Jacob had to work overtime today, and Ashley did not harass him, but only sent him her own location.

The others didn’t bring boyfriends, so they were having dinner in the dormitory.

The topic they were talking about was either boyfriend, gossip in the class or department, or the most popular male stars recently.

Ashley thought what they said was interesting and listened with interest.

After a while, when Ashley was about to finish her meal, the mobile phone screen on the table lit up.

She looked at it. It was a message from Grace, asking her when she would be home for the winter vacation.

Ashley picked it up and said an approximate time.

Ashley thought for a moment and, as usual, casually mentioned to her a few things that had happened today.

Lily, who was next to her, noticed her behavior and smiled and leaned over, “Chatting with your big boyfriend?”

Ashley shook her head, “With my mother.”

Sophie also asked, “Because your parents don’t agree with you about being with Jacob?”

Because Ashley called Grace every night and often talked to her about her situation here, as well as some things she and Jacob did.

So when the roommate asked, Ashley mentioned this once in the dormitory but did not say the specific reason, just casually mentioned that her parents said that their age difference was too much and did not agree with the reason.

“No,” Ashley said. “she asked me when I was coming home.”

“I don’t think you need to care too much about that.”

Sophie continued to talk about the previous topic, “After all, you are only a sophomore now, it is useless to talk so much now, and you are not getting married. And you’re in SL. If they really don’t like you being together, you can keep it a secret. ”

Ashley said seriously, ” I have to tell them what I’m doing here, or they won’t feel at ease. Besides, it’s no use keeping it a secret. ”

She paused and licked her lips. “I’m definitely going to marry him in the future.”

Lily said with a smile, “It’s still a long time.”

Sophie propped up her chin and sighed, “Yes, I think it will be a long time. There are too many uncertain factors.”

Ashley was stupefied and murmured,” But the final goal is to get married, right?”

Lily said, “I don’t think I will stay with my boyfriend all the time. I mentioned to my boyfriend that I wanted to go home after graduation and asked him if he would like to come with me, but he didn’t say anything. ”

Sophie, “Just discuss this.”

“I just feel that there are too many uncertain things. I don’t have to think about it so much. I just have to live well now.” Vivian pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth and said, “Otherwise you will be very tired.”

The four girls spoke for a while.

When they were about to leave, together back to the dormitory, Jacob has come, standing at the door of the store waiting for her.

Ashley blinked, said goodbye to her roommate, and walked up to him.

Smelling the smell of her, Jacob picked up his eyebrows and, “Drank again?”

Ashley said honestly, “Just a little bit.”

“Little drunkard.”

Jacob helped her put on the scarf around her neck and whispered, “Why do you always drink?”

“Because my roommates ordered a lot of, if I don’t drink it, ”

Ashley grabbed his coat and said carefully, “that would be a waste.”

“And all my roommates drank it, so it was not good for me not to drink it. I just drank a little bit. ”

Guessing what she thought, Jacob laughed and said, “I didn’t want to teach you a lesson.”

Ashley was led forward by him.

Be silent for a while.

She was thinking about the topic on the dinner table when she suddenly said, “Jacob, I will be 20 years old in three months.”

Jacob turned her head and looked at her, “Mm-hmm”.

Ashley did not continue to say, “Nothing.”

Jacob stopped and bent down to look her in the eye.

Staring at her face flushed with wine, he chuckled, “How come it’s nothing? Tell me.”

Ashley, “It’s nothing.”

“Tell me.”

“I don’t.”

Jacob was quiet for a while, pretending to be listening, then bowed his head and kissed the tip of her nose. “OK, I agree.”

Ashley said,” I didn’t say anything.”

“Well, I misunderstood.”

Ashley nodded and calculated, “I just want to tell you that I have three months left. I’m only twenty. I’m the youngest of twenty years old.”

Looking at her silly appearance, Jacob could not help laughing. “And then?”

“And then, you’ll be 27 in four months.”

Ashley had a wine burp and had a sense of superiority.. “You are so old.”
