The car didn't reach the gate of the community and stopped by the side of the road.
The two got out of the car.
Jacob stretched his lower body, gently turned his neck, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his shoulder.
He went into a nearby drugstore and randomly picked up some medicine for bruising on the shelf.
Liam followed slowly, leaning against the door and waiting.
There was usually no expression on his face, but his eyes were colder because he was in a bad mood, and his black clothes made him look a little scary.
The clerk at the front desk couldn't help looking in his direction.
Soon, Jacob took the medicine to the front desk to pay.
The clerk scanned the bar code and looked up at Jacob's broken lips and the bluish-purple marks on his face.
She frowned, lowered her voice, and asked, "Shall I call the police for you?"
Liam obviously heard it, and his eyes glanced over at once, with a bit of gloom.
Hearing this, Jacob was stupefied, a little want to laugh, but also afraid of affecting the wound.
He paid with his cell phone and gently said, "No, thank you."
Liam left the store first.
He glanced back at his face and mocked, "This wound may have healed before we got to the police station."
Jacob did not argue with him and pointed to the neighborhood not far away," Over there. "
The two returned to Jacob's residence.
He lived alone, and no one else has come into the house except Ashley.
The shoes on the shoe rack were very single, only a few pairs of his shoes and a pair of indoor slippers.
Most of the colors were dark, so Ashley's pink slippers stood out among them.
Liam glanced and sneered.
Jacob had no intention of taking care of him, but said lazily, "Just go barefoot."
Making himself at home, Liam walked in the direction of the refrigerator and took a bottle of Coke from it.
His eyes turned a few times on the snacks in the fridge and soon closed.
Liam returned to the living room.
Jacob has come out of the room with a change of clothes in his hand.
Noticing what was in his hand, he raised his eyebrow slightly and quietly reminded him, "Here's the thing."
"The snacks and drinks in the refrigerator, as well as the things in this cabinet," Jacob said politely and slowly. "I hope you try not to touch it."
Without raising his eyelids, Liam said leisurely, "You've got gold in this coke."
"Not at all," Jacob laughed. "it's just my girlfriend's."
This change of identity made Liam feel particularly uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
He glanced at Jacob coolly and didn't bother to pay attention.
Jacob went into the bathroom.
He took off his clothes and looked at himself in front of the mirror.
The corner of the lip was skinned, the corner of the left eye was swollen, and the bruise on the cheek was covered with a few strands of blood.
Several places on the body were also purple, and it hurt all over the body.
He didn't know if they could fade down tomorrow.
Ashley could cry angrily after him being splashed with water by Kathy.
This time he looked much worse than last time, and he didn't know how she will react tomorrow.
Jacob sighed, turned on the shower, and turned up the temperature of the water, slightly relieving the pain on his body.
He always took a quick bath, but this time he took a long time because of his injuries.
By the time he got out of the bathroom, Liam had finished playing a game and was changing the TV channel with the remote control.
There were several bags of unpacked snacks on the coffee table.
Liam leaned over and took a bag and dropped a potato chip into his mouth.
Jacob glanced lightly and said nothing more.
He took the medicine out of the bag, smeared it on the wound, and casually said, "When are you going back to South Star?"
Liam, "Not so fast."
Noticing Jacob’s behaviors, he added, "Is it necessary?"
Jacob laughed," It really hurts. "
"Except for the first one," Liam said, leaning on the back of the sofa, "after that, they were all like tickles."
Jacob did not answer, opened his clothes, and sprayed medicine on his abdomen.
"If the kid sees it tomorrow, she will probably say that I bullied you."
Liam yawned in a sleepy tone. "Come on, I'm a fair man. Punch me."
Jacob raised eyebrows and said quietly, "Forget it. I haven't hit anyone. I don’t know how."
Liam, "Hurry up."
Silent for three seconds, Jacob put down the medicine in his hand, tilted his head, and said cooperatively, "Then stand up."
The war had been called off.
But the incident was inexplicably provoked again, but this time it was Liam who took the initiative to beg for a beating.
But he seemed to turn a blind eye to this, and his voice despised, "Quick decision."
Jacob smiled, "I really can't."
Liam was in a bad temper just now, and he really did hit him seriously.
It was a bit too much to think like this. Liam pointed impatiently to his face. "Make a fist and punch here."
Before he finished, Jacob already got his hand on it and punched him in the position he said.
With his head tilted, Liam stepped back and bumped into the shoe cabinet.
He felt half his face numb, his teeth touching his lips and stinging.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, smiled angrily, said nothing but gave him a thumbs-up.
Things turned out to be.
The two sat on the sofa together and applied for the medicine.
"I still regret it a little bit," Jacob sprayed medicine on the back of his hand and said slowly. "my hand also hurts after hitting."
Liam put a hot towel on his face and said impassively, "You are strong enough."
Jacob chuckled, "I really can't."
"F*ck off."
Jacob's cell phone kept ringing.
Ashley was sending messages to him, Jacob speeded up to finish the medicine, then pulled out a paper towel to wipe the hand, picked up the mobile phone to reply.
Liam was annoyed to hear, "Can you turn off the voice?"
Jacob raised his eyes and leisurely said, "No."
"Well," Jacob said thoughtfully, "your phone is quite quiet."
"All right," Jacob stopped messing with him and stood up. "I have to work tomorrow. I'm ready to go to bed."
"Wait a minute," Liam said. "I need a pair of underwear."
"What's the matter? I'll give it back to you in a few days. Also, "Liam's feet were on the sofa and there was no sitting position at all." You can't let the guest sleep on the sofa. "
Be silent for a moment.
Before long, Jacob bent down and tapped his chest with his fingertips.
His eyes were affectionate and smiling and he said ambiguously. "Sorry, I don't sleep with men."
Liam said," I’m gonna puke. "
Jacob opened the cupboard and took out a new set of toiletries, then went back to the room to get a suit of clothes and threw it in front of Liam. "The living room is yours."
He took two steps towards the room and stepped back. "No disrespect, brother. I was badly beaten by you today. I need a rest."
Liam, "I’m good."
After thinking about it, Jacob added carelessly, "I will lock the door."
After the video with Grace, Ashley took a bath and went back to bed, sending a message to Jacob all the time.
She tried to send a message to Liam and found that he had not yet pulled herself off the blacklist and quickly gave up.
Jacob was slow to reply to the message.
Thinking that they should have something to say, Ashley didn't bother him all the time.
Ashley played with the mobile phone for a long time, thought about it, and sent a video call to Jacob.
He didn't answer.
Soon came a message, “naked.”
[Is that okay?]
Without waiting for Ashley to reply, the other end already gave her a video call.
Ashley took a breath, hung up subconsciously, and returned a voice call back.
When she got through, she frowned and said, "Can't you get dressed? You're not afraid of catching a cold?"
Jacob always came over with a smiling voice, "Too lazy to wear it."
"You really don't want to see me?" Jacob lowered his voice as if he were whispering to her and bewitching her. "I’m quite sexy."
Ashley was speechless." Did you drink with my brother?"
"No."
Ashley didn't mess with him. "Are you okay?"
Jacob said with a smile, "I was scolded for a few words, but it's all right."
Ashley was relieved and muttered, "Just let him scold. I'll find a chance to help you curse back."
Jacob made a hum.
"Why is my brother here all of a sudden?"
"He seems to want to come and have a look," Jacob said. "whether you are living in the dormitory or with your graduate boyfriend."
"I'm not that casual."
Ashley rubbed her eyes and muttered, "That's all right. I'm going to bed."
"Well, good night."
"what's my brother doing tomorrow?" Ashley thought of something. "Did he say when he would be back?"
"He said he would stay for a while. Go to sleep. Don't worry about him. "
Early the next morning, Ashley arrived at the office on time.
Ashley was scolded by Avery for not sorting out the report forms.
Perhaps due to lack of sleep, she was more grumpy than usual today. "Do you want to get fired? You are unable to do everything well."
Ashley thought, "I feel like I'm doing a good job."
"Ashley," Avery blushed with anger and scolded loudly, "You think this is your house? Do you think the company is paying you to play? Get out of here if you can't do it."
Ashley did not understand why her mood swang so much, and said seriously, "When am I playing and I just don't have the ability, so I came here for an internship and wanted to learn something."
Avery sneered, "Then listen to me, do what I tell you to do. Don't fight me all the time."
"Oh."
Ashley said, "I will listen to what is reasonable."
"Aren't you very obedient at first? Why can't you stand it?" Avery said. "To tell you the truth, I think you look good and your education is not low. Why do you have to steal another girl's boyfriend? It's disgusting."
When the two made such a scene, the colleagues next to them all turned their attention away.
Ashley looked up, "Whose boyfriend I stole? Kathy?"
"You know it in your heart."
"Sorry, my boyfriend didn't even touch another woman's hand before me."
Ashley stared at her, and her tone gradually hardened. "Also, remember to ask your friend to see a doctor. You've never seen her crazy before. What does she fantasize about every day? There's something wrong with her mind."
Avery was stunned. "But she told me."
The quarrel between the two was indeed not small, which drew Jacob out of the conference room and said coldly, "What are you two doing? Come in here."
Both were scolded by John.
During this period of time, Avery's actions against Ashley also spread to his ears.
John was simple and honest and was not used to this kind of behavior, so he warned her a few words.
Avery has also reined in a lot.
The quarrel reduced the relationship between the two to a freezing point but made Ashley feel more comfortable.
They were at peace until the end of the day.
Ashley finished the work at hand and didn't even bother to do it on the surface.
She directly regarded Avery as the air, only said goodbye to her colleagues nearby, and then left.
Ashley and Jacob both had to work today, and no one had time to talk to Liam.
The two were supposed to have dinner at the seafood restaurant near her company in the evening, but now they picked up Liam by the way.
As soon as she left the company, Ashley saw the figure of Jacob in a familiar position.
She trotted over and was about to ask where Liam was when she suddenly noticed the wound on his face.
Ashley swallowed back the words in her mouth in an instant.
Jacob took her hand and said, "Your brother took the seat first, and we are going over there now."
Ashley pursed her lips and guessed something in an instant.
Holding back her anger, she asked, "What's wrong with your face?"
The corner of Jacobe's lips has formed a scab, and the bruising on his face has dispersed a little bit, which looked much better than yesterday.
He scratched the skin under his eyes and said, "I accidentally hit it."
Ashley said, "On Liam's fist."
She stared firmly at his face, then quickly turned and walked in the direction of the seafood restaurant.
It wasn't long before she looked back at him, "Don't tell me you stood up and let him do it yesterday."
Jacob coughed softly, "Yes."
Ashley asked, "Where else?"
Jacob said quietly, "Just on the face."
As if thinking about the truth of what he said, Ashley stayed where he was, nothing happened.
After a while, she suddenly raised her hand and touched the position of his stomach without warning.
The soreness caused by this sudden touch took a step back from the conditioned reflex of Jacob, and the expression also changed slightly.
A particularly obvious reaction.
Ashley was completely angry. "I'm going to kill him."
The business of this restaurant was good, most of the seats were full, and Liam sat by the window in the restaurant.
He flipped through the menu with boredom and noticed someone coming next to him.
Just as he was about to raise his eyes, his neck was strangled from behind, and almost gasped for breath.
Liam coughed hard and subconsciously cursed, "F*ck."
It was accompanied by Ashley's burning voice, "You're done."
Noticing Jacob standing next to him, Liam understood something in an instant and said, "Let me go before I lose my temper."
" I'll start from now on." Ashley didn't hear what he said, pinching his face hard and stretching out her hand to pull his hair. "I will speak ill of you every day to mom and your girlfriend. You can't marry her. What did I say to you yesterday?"
Liam ripped her hand off. "Don't you dare?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't make sense." Ashley became angrier, her eyes turned red, her hands tangled up again, and her strength increased with her tone. "I must have called the police to arrest you yesterday. I told you that I would fight you from now on."
After saying the last word, Ashley let go of her hand, and she gradually began to cry, "Liam, I won’t recognize you as my brother."
After venting his anger, Ashley stared at him for a while and turned to the toilet.
Jacob cleared his throat, reached out and patted Liam on the shoulder, and then followed.
It wasn't long before he returned to his seat and sat down alone.
Noticing Liam's line of sight, Jacob explained, "She went to the bathroom."
Liam reached out and rubbed his face, laughing angrily. "D*mn it, don't stop me. I'm really going to kill this kid."
"Then I must stop you," Jacob said.
"why do you have to look for trouble with the little girl," Jacob said for Ashley. "that kind of strength won't hurt you."
Liam was furious.
Jacob seemed to enjoy the taste.. "When are you free to beat me up again?" Jacob said with a chuckle.
