It can't be less than 1.2 meters tall.
Ashley picked out the keywords.
Less than 1.2 meters.
Ashley was completely attracted by the words and did not notice what Liam said to the person next to him, let alone what the man lying on his stomach looked like.
At this time, the sun was shining, it was shady but not cool under the tent. Her face was slightly flushed by the sunshine and she felt so irritable that she could not stand her brother’s sarcasm.
"I’m more than 1.2 meters."
Although Ashley felt that she didn't need to prove this, she couldn't help arguing, "I'm 1.55 meters tall, ok?"
"Wow, this classmate is 1.55 meters tall, but you look…" Liam casually turned over the list. "Quite short."
"…”
"Well, you'll have to say it in advance. Otherwise, it is easy to misunderstand. "
"…”
‘Does she have to say "I'm 1.55 meters tall" when she sees everyone?
It's like showing off.’
"See for
lol, square dance
Liam was a little out of breath, and his neck flushed slightly. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched. As if he were choking, he coughed violently. "Ah," Mr. Smith didn't react. He looked at Liam's face, and his expression became complicated. "Ashley, you said this is your father." Ashley was scared to death and made up a lot of images of being abused by everyone after being debunked, which was like the end of the world to her. She was not strong enough to speak anymore but nodded. Staring at Ashley's expression, Jacob suddenly bowed his head and laughed loudly. The little girl's eyes were round and big, covered with wet tears, red all around her eyes, and her cheeks were smudged, looking awkward and pitiful. Her appearance blocked what Mr. Smith wanted to say. ‘The person who was described as "father" by Ashley stood with "Ashley's elder brother". They were obviously of the same age and wore the same volunteer costume.
After the ice compress, the wounds on the hands and knees were treated, and the pain was relieved a lot. Ashley's mood was not so bad anymore. She has been taken care of in this way since she was a child, so there was nothing wrong with her except that she felt a little close to him. Ashley looked at him and murmured, "I didn't ask you to do anything." ‘Just rub the ointment and wipe my face. It's not like it's hard for him.’ "I suddenly have a sister, and your biological brother has run away." Jacob raised his eyelids and stood up straight. "Kiddo, do the math for yourself, how much brother has helped you?" Ashley paused for a moment and could not help saying, "Then I can help you." As if Jacob thought this was interesting, he sat down next to her, turned his head, and smiled, "Well, what are you going to do for me?" “Just,” only one word came out, then Ashley stopped because she had no idea what she could do t
Ashley didn’t expect that, so she didn’t say anything. She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was just after 4:30. There was still an hour to go before 5:30. There were uncontrolled little expectations fermenting in the heart, mixed with a few inexplicable nervousnesses. But soon, thinking of what she had promised to Bella, all her emotions were left out one by one. Ashley was a little unable to say it, but she felt that it was not good to go back on her promise. She looked in the direction of Bella and looked extremely hesitant. Unable to wait for her response, Liam asked again, "Do you hear me?" “ Ah,” Ashley spoke slowly as if she didn't hear clearly. Liam repeated reluctantly, "I said, Jacob, will pick you up later, around 5:30. He should call you then, so you can do your homework in your classroom first. " Ashley, “5:30.” Liam, "Mm-hmm. Remember, don't get anyone into trouble. "
It was getting dark. One side of the street lamp has not yet been lit, which made the eye color of Jacob even deeper. He looked steadily at Ashley, his lips slightly straightened without moving. She was unable to see how his mood was. Such a quiet, like the calm before the storm. Ashley added nervously and anxiously, "My parents never hit me." His eyelids moved and suddenly noticed a particularly conspicuous mark on Ashley's clean school uniform. Located next to the neckline, it was obviously burned out by cigarettes. Jacob looked at her and thought he was wrong, so he slowly drew closer. But Ashley thought he was really going to teach her a lesson, clenched her lips, looked afraid, and resigned to flatten her hidden hands behind her and put them timidly in front of him. Jacob's Adam's apple rolled down and pointed to her collar. "How did you get it?" Ashley was stunned and looked in the direction he pointed out.
It was early five o'clock in the afternoon, and although the sun was not as violent as noon, it was still dazzling. The smell outside the alley was not very good, John did not let Ashley stand there with him foolishly. He looked around and took her to a small stall nearby and bought two bunches of rock candy strawberries. Two people found a shade, each one holding a bunch. Afraid of Ashley's embarrassment, John took the initiative to chat with her, "It's a bit of a mess around here. Don't come here if you have nothing to do, okay?" Ashley obediently said, "Got it.” “Mike was supposed to come over." John said, "Do you remember, that big guy? But he didn't come because he had something to do today. " Ashley didn't like to eat the candy wrappers on it and tore it off little by little. "Yeah. During the summer vacation, my brother took me to have dinner with him. " John, "Ah, maybe I had already gone home at that time, so I
Jacob bent down and looked down at her. She said softly, "I should return the money back to you." When Jacob wanted to say something else, he looked up and suddenly noticed Liam's expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly, changed his mind in an instant, and smiled "OK." Later, Jacob took the money and said leisurely, "Thank you for giving brother money to spend." "Liam, I feel more like Ashley is Jac’s si..." Before John finished, he suddenly sensed Liam's mood and immediately withdrew his words, leaned over, and patted him on the shoulder. "Forget it." Walking back to the gate of South Star University, four people separated in pairs. Ashley bit off the last strawberry and looked at the back of Jacob subconsciously. Before long, her eyes rolled and suddenly caught up with Liam's unfriendly eyes. She felt guilty for no reason and immediately pretended that she was looking at the scenery. "What are you doing?"
The sofa in the living room was L-shaped, with a transparent coffee table in front of it. Jacob and Liam sat side by side. The seat at the left end was empty. Ashley just subconsciously sat there, right next to Jacob. At this time, because of this sudden situation, Ashley's head went blank. She even forgot to put her phone away, and her phone was still facing Jacob. She looked restless and nervous. When Liam caught a glimpse of her, he threw the game controller aside, frowned, and asked, "Kid, what are you shooting?" Ashley didn't know how to explain it, but she looked up. Noticing the direction of the phone, Jacob raised his eyebrows and smiled. Then he leaned forward slightly, closer in the direction of Ashley, and said with interest, "Well, you were shooting me." Ashley shrank back and immediately take her phone away, "No, no." "No?" "...” "Why did you shoot brother?" Jacob dra
Ashley was speechless by his words.She dared not look at Jacob and when she was nervous, her reaction was slow.The little man in the red hat on the screen fell instantly, accompanied by a line of subtitles of "game over".The quiet room reverberated with the background music of the game, cheerful and loud.In this atmosphere, it seemed too weird.Ashley noticed that Jacob took his eyes back and played with the buttons on the controller leisurely, making a click, and the rhythm was mechanical and smooth.Ashley didn’t know what he was thinking.She suddenly realized that she shouldn't have mentioned it.Ashley's mind went blank and she poked a watermelon into her mouth.This season's watermelon was not sweet, juicy but tasteless, not very delicious.She chewed slowly and found it a little hard to swallow. It wasn't long before she said vaguely, "I told my brother, too."The action of Jacob stopped.
