Couldn’t Hide the Feelings - Chapter 87
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 shallow breath, “Your classmate is really good at imagining.”
Ashley also felt particularly absurd, “What?”
“But it’s also an interesting guess.”
“…”
She didn’t want to talk to him and looked at her cell phone. When she tried to talk to Ethan, she found that a series of words had been sent over there.
Ethan: [you.]
Ethan:[just now in front of you two, there are still so many people around, I am embarrassed to say.]
Ethan:[Are you serious? If your parents know about it, they should be crazy. And this matter is not moral and ethical in the first place, as your friend, I would like to advise you to look back.]
Ethan:[your introduction is too aboveboard. Are you not afraid of being seen? To tell you the truth, I’m starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with me.]
After a few minutes.
Ethan:[the more I f*cking think about it, the more I…]
Ethan:[think about it for yourself. You don’t have to worry. Your secret is safe here. I won’t tell anyone.]
Ashley replied:[it’s not what you think. This is not my brother. He’s my brother’s friend. He just helped me meet the teacher.]
After sending it successfully, Ashley put away her mobile phone and looked at Jacob.
Perhaps for fear of her annoyance, Jacob’s smile reined in a little bit, and still looked at her side.
But Ashley didn’t mention what just happened.
After seeing Jacob’s car, he warmly swallowed and said, “Let’s go and have lunch.”
Jacob drove the car near the company.
The two haven’t seen each other for nearly a month.
After stopping the car, he was in no hurry to get out of the car and leaned over to unfasten Ashley’s seat belt.
The distance was suddenly shortened, and his eyes were fixed on her, getting closer and closer.
A particularly obvious hint.
Jacob’s head was slightly sideways, and the tip of his nose rubbed against her skin under her eyes.
With the smell of boiling hot and the familiar and pleasant smell of tobacco.
Their lips seemed to fit at the next moment but froze.
Ambiguity fermented in the air.
Jacob’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly.
The facial features were softened by the light outside the window, and the pupil was light and glowing.
He caressed her face affectionately, chuckled, and kept his head down.
All the emotions seemed to heat up and surge with this action.
But it was too late.
Because Ashley suddenly raised her hand and covered his mouth.
Jacob’s body obviously paused, and his eyes were raised and he looked at her silently.
There seemed to be no emotion, but it was inexplicably dangerous.
Ashley exclaimed, “You’d better not kiss me yet.”
Jacob did not get rid of her hand. As he spoke, the hot air sprayed into the palm of her hand, as if with an electric current, “Why?”
“I remember what my classmate just said.”
Ashley was very vengeful and said deliberately, “I can’t remember who you are. Anyway, seeing you is like seeing my brother. You’d better stay away from me.”
Jacobe said thoughtfully, “Is it so serious?”
Ashley had a straight face and nodded.
His eyelashes moved, his eyes drooped, stopped on her lips, and soon looked up at her again.
The silence did not last long.
All of a sudden, Jacob pulled her hand off, pressed it on his chest, and brought her over.
Before Ashley could react, his lips had already been pasted down.
The tip of the tongue pressed against her lips, swept inward along the teeth, hooked her tongue, tangled, and licked hard.
Ashley’s eyes were not closed, her mouth was open, and she let him ask for it.
When kissing, he always liked to squeeze her earlobe or caress the skin on the back of her neck.
He patiently encroached on every corner of her, the strength was a little heavy, but not gentle.
It was like tearing her apart, tasting her carefully, and then swallowing her into the belly.
She tried to squeeze him out, and he grabbed her chin and swept in insolently.
There was nothing else in Ashley’s mind, and her head could not help but rise to cater to him.
Jacob bit her lower lip, licked it gently, and then moved away.
The light remained the same, and his pupils were inexplicably deeper, with red lips and beautiful water stains.
At this moment, all Ashley’s sulk vanished into thin air.
Then Ashley heard him say, “Now–”
She raised her eyes.
Jacob bent lips, laughing like a tempting devil.
“Do you remember who I am?”
***
With heavy rain, the season changed from summer to autumn, the dryness in the air dispersed a little bit, a little wet.
With the withering of the leaves, the temperature dropped suddenly, ushering in a new year.
The cold wave swept through and the cold air hit on a large scale.
Different from the coldness in the north, the winter in the south was wet and cold, no matter how thick it was, it seemed to be able to drill into the body along the pores and infiltrate into the bone marrow from any corner.
2017 was the coldest winter Jacob has spent in South Star.
It was after so many years that he really felt it again.
The New year should be a lively and festive festival.
This feeling of familiarity and unfamiliarity.
Jacob spent the New year in Ashley’s house.
Maybe fearing that he felt embarrassed, or he was cramped because he was not invited, a month before the Spring Festival, when Jacob went to visit her parents for dinner, Tim began to mention this matter to him.
Grace also made a gesture that she would be angry if he didn’t come over.
In the beginning, Jacob did have the idea that he did not want to disturb his family’s Spring Festival.
But when he heard them say this, he felt calm, didn’t hide his feelings, and responded with a smile.
He mentioned the matter to Ashley.
Although she knew that her parents would definitely ask him to come for the Spring Festival, Ashley felt very happy to hear it.
After coming back from school, Ashley, like a follower, clung to her parents for several days because of this.
Later, when she found Jacob, she grabbed him to go shopping.
Ashley has already prepared a new year’s present for her family.
This time, she just wanted to buy some new clothes for Jacob.
After being together, Jacob bought almost all the clothes Ashley bought for him.
Jacob didn’t pay much attention to these things. in the past, when he was alone, when he was short of clothes, he went to a men’s clothing store to buy a few, which took less than ten minutes.
When he was too busy to spare any time, he just bought it online.
But because he was good-looking, he looked good in everything.
So it didn’t make a big difference.
Ashley liked to worry about these things for him, buying clothes for himself.
When she went shopping with friends, she always went to the men’s clothing store.
The two entered a men’s clothing store.
Ashley asked for his opinion while looking at his clothes.
Jacob replied with a smile, “Whatever you think is good-looking is fine.”
Ashley took a dark red sweater, handed it to him, made a serious comparison, and said, “Is it good?”
Jacob stared at her and said softly, “Yes.”
“Then try it.”
“Okay.”
When he went to the fitting room, Ashley picked out some more clothes and held them in his arms.
She looked aside, freed up her hand, turned over her coat, and took it off.
Calculating the time, she went in the direction of the fitting room.
Jacob just came out.
There were enough lights in the shop, and Jacob’s skin was fair as if it were shining.
Because he stayed up late for a long time, there was a layer of bluish-gray under his eyes, but because his lips were naturally red, he didn’t look haggard.
The neckline of the sweater was a little low, revealing his collarbone.
Most of his clothes were dark, and it was rare to wear clothes of this color, which made him look more conspicuous.
Jacob went up to her and asked, “Am I good?”
Ashley’s eyes seemed to be unable to move, and she said honestly, “Yeah.”
Jacob, “Then I’ll take this one.”
Ashley couldn’t help saying, “Why are you so good-looking?”
“Hmm?”
Jacob leaned down and looked down at her, “Am I the most handsome guy in the world?”
Ashley pretended not to hear it and gave him the clothes in his hand. “Would you like to try these?”
“No.”
Jacob said, “buy them all.”
“Oh.”
“I’ll go and change my clothes back.”
Ashley awkwardly suggested, “Don’t.”
Hearing this, Jacob raised his eyebrows and said with a low smile, “Am I that good-looking?”
Ashley did not answer this, holding the clothes and walking in the direction of the cashier, saying, “Let’s go.”
Jacob did not tease her anymore but just laughed after her.
After checking out, the two went out of the store.
Ashley thought, “Do you want to buy a formal suit?”
Jacob, “Wait until we get married.”
Ashley glanced at him and said, “Then go and buy shoes. You’ve been wearing these shoes for a long time.”
Jacob pointed to the women’s clothing store next to him, “Go and buy some for you.”
“I’ve bought a lot of clothes recently.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Jacob said, “I’ll buy it for you.”
When Ashley picked up her own clothes, she was a little out of interest.
Jacob chose it for her with great interest.
Ashley was very demanding. If he took one, she will complain with dissatisfaction.
“This one will make me look very black.”
“This skirt is so long that it looks like 1.5 meters to me.”
“This pattern is so corny.”
“I don’t want this.”
In the end, she didn’t pick a single one.
Ashley also gradually found that the eyes of the girls around her seemed to glance at Jacob.
She paused and looked at him, staring at his exposed collarbone.
She was silent for a few seconds and her face became a little gloomy.
Jacob said with a good temper, “Change another store.”
Ashley looked up, stared into his eyes, and came out with a strange sentence, “Why are you…”
Jacob, “Hmm?”
“so sexy.”
Jacob went to Ashley’s house on New Year’s Eve.
He had nothing to do when he stayed at home by himself, so he planned to come and help ahead of time.
It was Ashley who opened the door for him.
As soon as he went in, Jacob could hear Grace was scolding Liam.
The girl in front of him smiled and happily brought him a pair of slippers in a good mood.
Jacob rubbed her head, “Why are you so happy?”
“My brother was scolded.”
The pear whirlpool on Ashley’s lips sank and she smiled foolishly. “I am very happy to hear it.”
Tim was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and greeted Jacob kindly.
Jacob smiled and said, “Happy New year=.”
Grace and Tim seemed to be in the kitchen.
He chatted with Tim and was dragged into the kitchen by Ashley.
At this time, Liam was standing by the flow table, washing vegetables impatiently. Grace frowned and said, “What’s that look on your face? I just told you to do me a favor.”
Liam stopped and said, “Mom, how many times have you said that?”
Jacob made a sound and shouted politely, “Happy new year.”
Hearing the sound, Grace looked back.
When she saw Jacob, she laughed as if she saw her own son, “You’re here. Go and have a seat first. I will cut some fruit for you. ”
Since the last time he talked to them, Jacob has come here a lot of times, at least once a week.
After getting along for a long time, Tim and Grace had a better impression of him.
Because of this contrast, they became more and more disgusted with Liam, who had not returned home once in hundreds of years, and their attitude towards the two gradually became very different.
“No.”
Jacob said hurriedly, “Let me help you.”
“Let the brat do it by himself.”
Grace looked at Liam again and continued to scold him, “Learn more skills, otherwise, I am really afraid that Olive will not want to marry you in the future.”
Liam pointed to Ashley, “So she can get married like this?”
Ashley was very upset and hid behind Jacob, revealing her head.
Before she could say anything, Jacob had already gently said, “It’s all right. I can cook.”
She stared at Liam and echoed, “I’m sorry. My boyfriend knows how to cook.”
Grace and said, “Look at Jacob.”
Liam put up with it and said, “Mom, who is your own son?”
Grace, “Are you asking me to choose?”
Liam understood the meaning of her words.
He was so self-aware that he didn’t ask any more questions.
Just looked at Jacob with an expressionless face and sneered, “All right.”
After the New year’s Eve dinner, the family sat on the sofa to chat and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
They stayed up until 12:00.
Tim gave each of them a red envelope and said some nagging words.
Soon, Tim and Grace went back to their room.
Jacob and Liam were cleaning up the mess on the coffee table.
Ashley was also sleepy, but she still held her eyelids and yawned while helping.
Seeing this, Jacob leaned over and kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile, “Go to bed.”
“I’ll help you,” Ashley murmured. “It’s not much of a mess. It’ll be quick.”
Liam looked at them coolly, “There is a living man here.”
Jacob said with a laugh, “go to bed. I’ll just do it with your brother.”
“Well, then remember to ask my brother to bring you a new toothbrush and towel.”
Ashley was so sleepy that she was a little unconscious and kissed him on the face. “Happy New year.”
With that, she stood up and trotted back to her room.
Liam swept the peanut shell on the table into the dustbin and said coldly, “Why do I think you’re getting more and more annoying?”
Jacob raised eyebrows: “Brother, what do you mean by that?”
Liam threw the peanut shell directly at him.
“Brother.”
Jacob said with a sneer, “It’s on the ground. Go and get a broom.”
Jacob stayed here today and slept with Liam.
Liam threw the pillow on the sofa and naturally repeated his previous words, “Sorry, I don’t sleep with men.”
Jacob sat down on the sofa, rummaged through his pockets, and took out the red packet that Tim had just given him.
He looked at it for a while, smiled, but didn’t see how much money was in it.
Liam looked strange, “What kind of expression do you have? You didn’t receive a red envelope before?”
Jacob put it on the table, picked up the cigarette on the table, and casually said, “Not much.”
Before long, a red packet flew in from Liam.
Jacob took it subconsciously.
He heard Liam snort and then said, “So your post-80s generation is different from our post-90s generation. It’s really not suitable for you to take a red packet at your age. ”
“Out of respect for the elderly, I’ll give you my share.”
Jacob threw it on the table and said with a smile, “Then you are really a young post-90s.”
Jacob said nothing more, felt his cell phone in his pocket, and suddenly remembered that he had changed a pair of trousers, but he still touched something.
He took it out and found that it was also a red packet.
It was exactly the same as the two on the table.
He didn’t know when Ashley put it in his pocket.
He was stunned for a moment and smiled inexplicably.
Put the three red packets side by side.
There was an extremely cold wind blowing outside, as if roaring, crying, and slapping against the window.
But it was the warmest New year that Jacob has felt in so many years.
