Chapter 35 - We Will Get Married As Soon As Possible

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 right, let's start talking."

Ashley did not react, "What?"

"Brother wants to know about him."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, "Ah. By the way, Little Ashley, bring a book for brother. "

"…"

"Brother should take a note."

Ashley stared at him for a few seconds.

Soon, she turned her back and lit up the screen of her phone, making it clear that she didn't want to talk anymore, "I'm not telling you."

The next morning, Ashley reluctantly wiped his face, and then wiped his arms and palms all over.

This time Jacob did not open his eyes as suddenly as he did last time, nor did he say anything else.

But Ashley never looked into his eyes.

She tried to keep herself focused, like wiping a dead body that couldn't move.

Before leaving, Ashley thought about it and asked, "Brother Jacob, do you have anything else you need? I'll bring it to you when I come over in the evening."

"Hmm?"

Jacob seemed a little sleepy, with his eyelids half-closed. "I have a key in my coat, so take it. Bring me the computer in my room. "

"…"

Ashley said, "Why do you need a computer?"

Jacob raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Work."

Ashley was stupefied for a moment, and her expression suddenly became a little bad, "You have asked for leave. Why are you still working when you are sick? Your boss won't give you any extra money. "

Jacob looked at her and said nothing.

Ashley, "I won't take it. I'll take the rest for you. Gotta go."

With that, she left the ward.

Ashley listened to Alex's voice messages on the subway, "Ashley, are you free? I’m playing games with my friends on the playground.”

“Would you like to come over?”

“I heard Sophie say that you haven't gone back to the dormitory yet. It's not safe at this late hour. Shall I pick you up? "

She hesitated and replied, [Sorry, I didn't check my phone yesterday. Thank you for your concern.]

Ashley first went back to the dormitory to take a bath and changed her clothes.

Then she went to the teaching building to have a class.

Ashley had a lot of classes on Friday, which lasted until six o'clock in the afternoon.

She didn't have time to have dinner. She took the subway to Jacob's home after school.

Out of the subway station, Ashley followed the mobile phone navigation to find the location.

This area was full of residential areas, next to the city library, but there was still a short distance from the place where Jacob lived.

There was a food street nearby and a small square, which was particularly lively.

Ashley entered the community with a key card, found the building where Jacob lived and went up to the fifteenth floor.

There were four households on the floor here, and the house where Jacob lives faced south.

She went over, opened the door with the key, touched the wall unfamiliarly, found the switch, and turned on the light.

The interior decoration was dark. The sofa and coffee table in the living room was gray and black, and the walls were painted in a similar color.

The wooden floor was covered with a dark square carpet in the center.

There was a half-opened book on the sofa, next to a high lamp.

The curtains were closed and the house looked a little stuffy.

Ashley took off her shoes and looked at the only pair of slippers on the shoe rack, hesitating to wear them.

She went in with her socks on, thinking about what to bring.

She looked around the living room.

She suddenly noticed that there were three picture frames on the TV cabinet.

One was a picture of Jacob and his other roommates in academic uniforms. Next to the one was the picture of her and Jacob, which was taken at the graduation ceremony.

This was the first time she saw the picture and subconsciously looked at it a few more times.

At that time, she reached his shoulder and looked a little childish.

Wearing a pink-blue dress, standing 20 centimeters away from him, she was smiling.

Jacob put his hand on her head and looked like a bad boy, but his smile was bright.

‘It was pretty good.’

Ashley licked her lips, took out her cell phone like a thief, and took the picture.

As soon as she looked away, she suddenly noticed that there was also a picture on another picture frame.

That picture was obviously an old one, and the colors were all different.

Jacob in the photo looked only like a teenager.

He was dressed in a school uniform, and next to him stood a woman who was half a head shorter than him.

Their eyebrows and eyes were very similar, and there was a faint smile on their faces.

Thinking of Grace's words, Ashley instantly understood the identity of this person.

She squatted down, thought for a moment, and whispered, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Ashley. I'm Brother Jacob's friend’s sister."

After a few seconds, Ashley added, "Brother Jacob didn't go home yesterday because he was ill and had a minor operation, but it wasn't serious. I'm just here to get him something. Don't worry. "

With that, Ashley stood up, took out her cell phone, and searched "what you need to bring in the hospital" and took it one by one according to the above mark.

Noticing the words "close-fitting clothing", she paused.

And then she walked to the wardrobe in his room.

"…"

‘Why would she do such a thing?’

Ashley closed her eyes, opened the wardrobe, and saw two new boxes in it.

She breathed a sigh of relief and threw the box directly into the bag.

She looked up, wondering whether to bring more clothes.

Suddenly she saw a tie that looked very familiar.

Ashley paused for a few seconds and slammed the wardrobe shut.

‘Forget it.

That's it.

She's done her best.’

Ashley left Jacob's house and went to wait for the elevator.

Bored, she took out her cell phone and looked through it, and then took it back in her pocket.

The elevator just arrived.

Inside stood a woman with a pretty face, dressed in designer clothes and a strong smell of perfume.

She seemed to be calling someone, but she didn't get an answer, so she didn't look good.

The woman glanced at Ashley and came out.

Ashley then walked into the elevator.

The moment the elevator door closed.

Ashley saw that the woman seemed to be walking in the direction of Jacob's house.

But it could be the next one.

Ashley lowered her eyes and didn't take it to heart.

By the time she got to the hospital, it was almost eight o'clock.

She walked into the ward and found the other bed was occupied by a 60-and 70-year-old man. Next to him was a middle-aged man who looked like his son.

Three men of quite different ages were chatting.

Ashley put the bags in her hand on the table.

Noticing the movement, Jacob turned his head and moved his eyelashes, "Why do you bring so many things?"

Ashley was so tired that she gasped for breath. She immediately sat down on the chair and took off her coat. "It's not much. I feel like you need them."

Jacob looked into the bags and said slowly, "What are you doing with so many clothes?"

"I only brought two sets and a coat that you can wear when you are cold."

Ashley took the bottle out of her bag and took a sip. "And I brought you a charger and so on."

Jacob said, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"I came right after class, but I didn't have time. I'll eat later. "

Hearing this, Jacob checked the time, "It's eight o'clock. You haven't eaten yet?"

Ashley took out chocolate and took out her cell phone to reply to the message, [I'm not very hungry. I'll eat later.]

"Go and eat now."

"…"

Ashley looked up and was not in a good mood. "It's not that I don't eat. I just brought so many things over. Can you at least let me have a rest for a while?"

The old man in the next bed suddenly made a voice at this time and said with a smile, "Son, is this your wife?"

"…"

Ashley's anger disappeared in an instant.

She looked up so suddenly that she almost choked.

Jacob smiled in a somewhat absurd tone, "How do you see that she is my wife?"

The old man stared at Ashley kindly, "The little girl is really pretty."

Afraid that Ashley was embarrassed, Jacob said in a loud voice, "This is my sister, not my wife."

Hearing the words, the old man looked at Jacob and said, "Hey, I know your wife is good-looking."

Ashley, "…"

Jacob, "..."

The middle-aged man spoke at this time, a little embarrassed, "Sorry, my father's hearing loss is a little serious... So he didn't say much just now. "

With that, the middle-aged man leaned to the old man's ear and raised the volume, and roared, "Dad! That's his sister! Not his wife! Sister!"

The old man gave a sound and nodded suddenly, "Not married yet?"

Ashley felt anxious as she listened, and could not help saying, "We are not that relationship."

"Son, I think you're not too young. Why don't you get married?"

The old man said, "Don't keep the little girl waiting for a long time."

"…"

Ashley felt that she was going to suffocate.

Jacob could not help laughing, and his chest heaved, "Sir, could you please don't make me laugh? I still have a wound on my stomach. "

The old man became serious and said, "I'm not kidding you, young man. Your girlfriend is so great. If you don't cherish her, you won't have time to regret it. "

Jacob gave up the struggle, "OK, I understand."

Ashley still struggled, "We’re not."

"You must be nice to her, young man."

Jacob nodded, "All right."

"..."

Ashley couldn't stand it any longer. "I'm leaving."

Hearing her, Jacob looked back.

Noticing Ashley's expression, he reined in the smile on his lower lip, coughed slightly, and said, "Don't worry about it. He can't hear you clearly. Just take it as a joke, you know?"

Ashley pretended not to hear him.

She exhaled slowly and struggled to say, " I'm really not his date. He's much older than me. He is old enough to be my father. "

Jacob, "..."

"Well, it's good to be a father."

The old man nodded again and again, as if in great agreement, "Get married early and have a child as soon as possible."

"…"

Ashley also gave up and looked at Jacob. "Brother Jacob, I'm leaving."

Jacob covered the position of the wound with one hand as if he was trying to laugh, and his voice seemed hoarse, "OK, be careful on your way and remember to eat."

Ashley pursed her lips and put on her coat, "OK."

Jacob, "Give me a call when you get to the dormitory."

She didn't want to talk to the old man at all, but she reluctantly said goodbye to them in order to maintain her apparent politeness.

She said a quick goodbye, then turned her head and walked in the direction of the door.

The next second, Ashley could still hear the old man behind him saying, "Hey, is your wife going back?"

Accompanied by Jacob’s laughter, he seemed to find his words extremely interesting and echoed by saying, "Well, my wife is going back."

"…"

For the next six days, Ashley came as soon as she was free.

The next bed was still the same old man.

He seemed to have a lot of children, and the people who accompanied him changed every day.

He talked a lot and often chatted with Jacob and Ashley.

It was always the same topic.

It was like he was only interested in this.

Like now.

The old man looked at them and said kindly, "When are you going to get married?"

Jacob said lazily, "We don't get married. It's not that relationship."

Hearing this, the old man immediately made a straight face and obviously disagreed, "How can we not get married?"

Ashley, "…"

The old man, with an attitude of experience, said painstakingly, "Get married early and settle down as soon as possible. Marriage is not a terrible thing. "

Jacob picked an eyebrow, "OK."

The old man asked, "When are you going to tie the knot?"

Jacob looked in the direction of Ashley.

He had not shaved for several days, and the head of his chin had stubble, which made him look more mature. "The girl has not yet reached the legal age of marriage," he said. "It will be two years later."

"..."

In the back, Ashley blocked their words directly.

Once they started talking, she put on her headphones and acted as if she didn't hear it.

After being hospitalized for a week, Jacob was discharged with stitches removed.

That day, Ashley went over ahead of time to help him pack up his things.

Before leaving, the old man sat on the hospital bed and looked at them with a big smile on his face, "Are you going to be discharged?"

Jacob said, "Yes. Take care."

The old man nodded, "You two settle down."

Jacob was about to say something.

On the contrary, it was Ashley who first said, "I see."

Jacob looked up at her.

She noticed his sight and looked over.

She seemed to have endured it for a long time, and she stared directly at him.

Then she said word by word, "We will get married as soon as possible."

"…"
