Chapter 78 - Have A Try In The Kitchen

After all these years.

Jacob recalled the appearance of his mother when she was alive, and he still felt remorse and remembered her incompetence at the beginning.

This has become the most regrettable thing in his life that could no longer be made up for.

He stared at the man in the hospital bed.

Inexplicably, he remembered that on the morning of the accident, before his father went out, he gently touched his head, smiled, and said to him, "If Jac continues to be number one in this exam, Dad will give you a reward."

It's been so many years in the blink of an eye.

He never fell out of the first place, but he didn't get a reward.

Jacob sat up straight and reined in his emotions.

As if remembering something, he suddenly tugged at the corners of his lips and said faintly, "But forget it."

"I have a good life now. I have met someone who wants to be with me all the time."

Jacob reached out and tucked in his quilt. "It doesn't seem that I really need you."

"I still hope you can wake up."

Jacob laughed. "See for yourself how much the world has changed and how many things you have missed."

‘Then you will find that there are thousands of choices at the beginning.’

‘But you set foot on, the worst, a road of no return.’

There was a bottle of water in Ashley's bag.

Because of the embarrassing experience of her first period, she had the habit of carrying a bag, which was always stuffed with a lot of things, and when she went out with Jacob, she would subconsciously bring an extra bottle of water.

When she got out of the ward, she leaned outside and waited.

There were mostly large wards here.

There were eight beds in one room.

But perhaps because of Jacob’s father's physical condition, he was transferred to a single room.

The space was extremely narrow and the sound insulation was poor.

Ashley was outside, and the voice of Jacob could be heard vaguely.

Her toes moved and stopped the next second, silently listening to his words.

Afraid that he would suddenly come out and see her outside, Ashley only stayed for a while, but she also knew the general situation.

Her heart was a little blocked, and after a few seconds, her nose was very sore.

Finally, Ashley got out of the nursery and bought a bottle of water at the nearby convenience store.

By the time she went back, Jacob had also come out, and he was at the front desk to go through the procedures for his father to be transferred to the hospital.

Ashley went over and stood next to him and handed him the water.

Jacob took it and asked, "What took you so long?"

Ashley took him by the hand and told a lie, "There were a lot of people just now."

"Mm-hmm."

Jacob held it back, his eyes slightly bent, and his tone was warm and slow, "I thought you couldn't find your way. But it's done, and we're going back now. "

Ashley nodded.

The two went down the stairs.

Recalling the scene she had just seen outside, Ashley quickened her pace and dragged him down, as if he were going to run at the next moment.

Jacob let her pull, jokingly saying, "Why so fast?”

He didn't use his strength at all, but Ashley dragged him away.

She couldn't help looking at him and saying seriously, "You're so heavy, it's hard for me to pull you."

Jacobe quickened the pace a little bit. "what's wrong?"

Soon, the two were out of the foster care center.

It was still snowing outside, scattered, like white feathers, fell on the hand and melted away.

This area was very partial, there were few cars on the road, and there were few people around.

It was amazing that the sun was out.

A large amount of sunlight fell on the ground, not violently, but very mild.

In this winter, under the match of light snow, it seemed warm.

Ashley pointed out to him with a smile. "Look, the sun comes out even when it snows."

Jacob has lived here since childhood. He has seen this scene several times, and he didn't think it was new.

But seeing her appearance, he laughed.

She seemed to want to share it with him, chattering, "I've only seen the sun rain, but I've never seen the sun snow."

"Mm-hmm."

"You know, after it rains and snows, the sun will come out."

Ashley said solemnly. "Sometimes, when it rains and snows, the sun will come out."

Sunshine was the most generous thing in the world.

Jacob listened to her and made a hum.

Ashley raised her neck and stared at him with round eyes. Her voice was clear and soft, and she leaned over and hugged him.

The little girl was so small that she had to stand on tiptoe if she wanted to touch his head.

"So when bad things are over, good things happen."

‘Life will be all right.’

‘So will you.’

It was just after two o'clock in the afternoon.

Ashley only had a bowl of porridge for lunch and was a little hungry at this time.

They went back to school and passed by a shop. She went in to buy an egg and bought a hot drink nearby.

Jacob picked up the drink Ashley bought, but the lid was not easy to open. He took a sip directly and made sure that the clerk gave it correctly before handing it to her.

Ashley didn't take it, tore an egg, and fed it to him.

Jacob has never been interested in snacks, but he still bit obediently.

It was as if he was addicted to it. As a result, Ashley didn't eat a few bites of such an egg.

Jacob drank a few mouthfuls of water and asked, "Don’t you like it?"

Ashley threw the paper bag into the dustbin.

Hearing this, she blinked. "Yes. I think you like it, so I'll give it all to you. "

With that, she bowed her head, took a candy out of her bag, and fed it to his mouth.

Jacob's eyelids drooped slightly and he bit the candy.

With a tick of his tongue, he licked her fingertips and put the sugar in his mouth by the way.

Then he held Ashley's head and stuck his lips on it.

He pushed through her teeth and slowly pushed the sugar in.

The whole action was no more than three seconds.

But on the street where people came and went.

Ashley's eyes glazed over, and it took a moment for her to react, and the fudge had been swallowed.

She stared wide-eyed, completely afraid to look at the expressions of the people around her, lowered her voice, and said, "What are you doing?"

"Kiddo, hand-feeding is out of date."

He said leisurely, "It's all fed like this now, you know?"

Ashley suddenly had the impulse to make him spit out all the eggs he had just now.

The two entered a large supermarket nearby.

Ashley began to run to the snack area again.

There was still much time, Jacob was not in a hurry to go to the fresh area, following her.

He glanced at the snacks in the shopping cart, picked up one of the bags, and casually asked, "How do you buy so many of this?"

Ashley looked back and said honestly, "Because the last time I ate this, you ate it with me. I think you should like it, too. "

Jacob said nothing and threw it back.

Ashley looked at the shelves one by one, and then walked on, suddenly running into a person she hadn't seen for a long time.

The person also saw her, was stupefied for a moment, and then took the initiative to say, "Hi."

Ashley also raised her hand and shouted, "Avery."

Avery seemed to have come alone. Everything in the shopping cart was daily necessities, as well as some small snacks.

Looking away, she saw Jacob behind Ashley.

Before Ashley's internship, Jacob often went to pick her up from work.

Avery bumped into him several times, so she also knew him.

She didn't say much, and after a few pleasantries, she pushed the cart away.

Seeing her, Ashley thought of Kathy again.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Is Kathy still coming to see you recently?"

"No."

Ashley, “Oh.” He did not ask any more questions.

The two walked in the direction of the fresh area and planned to eat at home tonight.

Jacob picked the food slowly and said by the way, "Ash, discuss one thing with you."

Ashley looked up, "What?"

Jacob, "I'm going to resign."

"Are you changing your job?"

"I'm going to change places and open a game studio in South Star."

Jacob smiled, "I also talked about the procedures and handover with the company."

Ashley was stupefied, "Do you really want to go back to South Star?"

"I'm talking to you," Jacob said. "If you don't want, and you want me to stay here with you for two more years, it's not too late to tell the company."

Ashley didn't really care much about this.

After all, it was in South Star, she had to go back in winter and summer vacation, plus holidays.

It seemed that the impact on the two people was only that they couldn't see each other every day.

But after this semester, Ashley was also a junior.

There were also a lot of things to be busy with.

When she was a senior, she could also go back to South Star for an internship.

It was not a long separation.

Ashley said, "So when are you going to South Star?"

Jacob, "Next week."

"Where do you live?"

"Mike found me a house and rented it first."

"He recommended some new buildings to me," Jacob said. "After I go there, when I’m free, I will go to check some house."

"Or when you go back to South Star, we'll check it together."

Ashley didn't quite understand what he said, so she wondered, "Are you going to buy a house?"

Jacob looked up at her, "Yes."

Ashley feared that his pressure would be too great, she stumbled and said, "If you buy a house in South Star, there was no location which is…"

She didn't go on and changed her words, "There's no hurry."

Jacob bowed his head and looked down at her.

He laughed out loud for no reason, his chest vibrating, "Do you really think I'm that poor?"

"I told you, I have some savings."

Jacob touched her head and stood up straight. "Although it's not much, it's enough to make a down payment."

"Oh."

Ashley had no idea about this, but said, "Anyway, I really don't care about this. If I want to work on my own, I may not be able to afford to buy a house even if I work for five years."

"Mm-hmm."

"What I mean is," Ashley said, "what I don't have, I don't have any qualifications to ask you to have."

"You do."

Jacob said calmly, "I bought it for you."

Ashley was stupefied again, "Ah".

"When the time comes, just let me stay for a while."

Jacob said softly and dragged his tail, "I don't need anything else, just half your bed, that's all."

Ashley looked at him, wanted to say something, and held back.

She turned towards the beverage area and took a few bottles of Coke and coconut water.

Noticing the beer next to her, she asked, "Would you like to buy some beer?"

Jacob, "You want to drink"

"No, if you suddenly want to drink it, you don't have to go out in the middle of the night to buy it."

Speaking of this, Ashley paused and didn't want him to be overshadowed by this, and stressed in a low voice, "Besides, the way you drink, you look good."

Hearing her words, Jacob picked the tip of his eyebrow, "I look good when I drink?"

Ashley nodded repeatedly, "Mm-hmm."

"You misunderstand. I don't look good when I drink."

Jacob laughed, "I..."

"Ah."

"Look good in bed."

Ashley came back early, and none of her roommates came back yet.

She was in no hurry to go back to the dormitory. She stayed in Jacob’s for two more days until it was time to check in.

Jacob was busy for a few more days, and it was only when he was about to return to South Star that he was idle.

From time to time, he would come to see Ashley and accompany her in class.

He booked a flight back to South Star on Friday morning.

Ashley was going to send him, so he simply stayed with him the night before.

She talked to Jacob for a while, and her attention was gradually attracted by the TV, and then she lay on the sofa, watching the TV attentively.

Before long, she was hungry. She wanted to take out the unfinished dumplings during the Lantern Festival and cook them.

Ashley got up by herself and went into the kitchen.

As soon as Ashley put the soup pot on the induction cooker before she turned on the switch, Jacob came in and asked, "What are you doing?"

She pointed and said honestly, "Boiling dumplings."

Jacob lowered his eyes, "Go out and watch TV. I'll cook it for you."

"I can cook."

This was even easier than instant noodles. When the water boils, throw the dumplings in, wait for a while, and pick them up.

Ashley thought about his intentions and added, "If you want to eat, I'll cook more."

Jacob said slowly, "Then let's cook together."

In order to see clearly that the boiled dumplings floated, Ashley especially found a big pot and filled more than half of the water.

At this time, the water heated so slowly that it didn't boil for a long time.

The two were talking, and inexplicably, Ashley was picked up by him.

Sitting on the stage, he kissed her again and again.

Beside her ear was the sound of the operation of the induction cooker, which was a little noisy in the stillness.

Ashley did not close her eyes, staring at Jacob's face close at hand, and occasionally she could hear the extremely ambiguous sound of swallowing.

She actually liked his closeness.

Gradually, she also hooked his neck, gently responded to him.

Didn't know how long it took for the water to boil.

Jacob's action then stopped.

His eyes became deep, rubbing the tip of his nose against her cheek, his voice hoarse and seducing, "Do you want to…"

"have a try in the kitchen."
