She could still faintly hear: 'Huh? The weather forecast said it would rain today?"

The boy looked doubtful: 'Maybe… she saw wrong? But she's a good person..."


The sound was getting farther and farther away, Ashley tried to laugh... a good person?

If they knew she had been in prison, would they still say she was a good person?

Just keep walking forward.


When she raised her head again, Ashley froze...

Under the shade of the tree, a man in a white shirt and skin-colored sweatpants appeared before her eyes.


He stood under the shade of the tree, his hands in his pockets, his face mischievously looking at her and smiling, revealing white teeth, so white that even the air emitted pink bubbles.

Suddenly, she seemed to see that summer.

Under the shade of a tree that was even bigger than this one, that young man wearing a white shirt, skin-colored pants, and white shoes, stood under the shade of the tree, she hurriedly ran over, his face was anxious, indifferently urging: 'You are too slow, girls are troublesome, hurry up, if you don't hurry up, I will go first."

He said he would go, but still stood under the shade of the tree, quietly waiting for her.

When was that?

Oh… Grade 12…

Since when, the relationship between her and him, became ready with guns and swords, became unimproveable, became so distant?

Suddenly, she couldn't remember anymore…

'Milan…" Her eyes were hazy, she opened her mouth to call the man standing under the shade of the tree.

Suddenly, the man standing under the shade of the tree, his voice clear and gentle called her: 'Ashley, I know, stand here, I can wait for you."

This gentle call made Ashley's whole body tremble, and her spirit came back to life, looking at the man standing under the tree with his hands in his pockets, on her lips, revealed an indescribable forced smile...

That man is not...

"Elliot, hello."

She looked at the man standing under the tree indifferently, politely greeting him.

Elliot sneered, revealing his white teeth, he tilted his head and said to her: "Come here, why are you standing so far away? Come here, come here."

He waved at her again.

Ashley slowly walked over: "Elliot, are you waiting for me?"

If she didn't hear wrong, he said that just now.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you." Elliot said softly: "Ashley, you still haven't answered me, be my girlfriend?"

Ashley looked surprised.

"I had to go to Germany some time ago, there is an urgent project, this morning the plane just arrived in S city, I ran here immediately because I know I can stand here to see you. Ashley, be my girlfriend, okay?"

Ashley's heartbeat quickened, and as soon as she raised her head, she met a pair of eyes emitting a brilliant light, these eyes and that man's eyes, were completely different, from beginning to end she slowly, blankly stared at the handsome face nearby.

Her mind was a bit chaotic at the moment, using Elliot's words, it was like reaching a dead end.

She stared at that face.

"Hey, if you keep looking at me like that, I won't be polite anymore."

 Elliot's teasing voice suddenly sounded in her ears. 

Ashley was agitated, she raised her head in panic, and she blinked: "What?" 

Seeing her like this, Elliot couldn't help but laugh: "Like this." After speaking, a figure pressed down, Ashley only felt a little warmth on her lips. 

"Don't blame me, you keep staring at me like that. Who can stand it, that person is not a man." 

Elliot finished speaking, his eyes immediately lit up, staring at Ashley: "Your ears are red." 

He would rather not say anything, as soon as he finished speaking, Ashley's ears became even redder, red to the point of bleeding. 

"Ashley." Elliot suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed Ashley's two hands, used his big hands to wrap them, and then lifted them to his chest. "We're dating." 

 He thought of this, and in the end, he was extremely determined, he wanted to have this woman, there was no reason, it was just that when he saw her red ears, it made him extremely moved.

And the special and strangeness on those lips, made him want to stop but couldn't.

Taste and sex are both human nature, who said that one must love a woman's appearance?

Every time he teased her, he could make his mood extremely comfortable and happy.

"Ashley, let's date." He said. "I will take care of you."

In the summer of her senior year, she said, "Milan, let's date, you will come to take care of me."

The boy in the white shirt turned his head, using those exquisite phoenix eyes to look at her, saying nothing. Then he turned and walked away, and she chased after him, tightly holding his arm from behind: "You are stingy, I am so easy to raise. And you can't even raise me?"

 The boy's answer, Ashley still remembers until now.

He said, "It's not that I can't support you, it's that you're not the right person." After saying that, he turned around, let her hold his hand tightly, and then led her out of the school gate.

Ashley still remembered, at that time she looked down at their intertwined hands, what was she thinking at that time?

Oh... she remembered.

At that time she thought. "If I'm not the right person, then Milan, why don't you let go of my hand?" She intimately pulled his arm from behind, pressed it tightly, and smiled: "Milan, if I'm not the right person, then in this world, there will be no one suitable for you."

'Ashley? Ashley?" Elliot called out twice, a little dissatisfied that she had lost focus again… His eyes were a little disappointed, in this woman's heart, there seemed to be another person, and this person appeared in her life earlier than him.

But immediately, the light in his eyes returned, tightly holding her hand in his palm: 'Just try it, just try it and it will work. Trust me, I won't let you shed another tear."

Ashley's shoulders shook, and her eyes moved slightly, as soon as she raised her head, she saw Elliot's face full of sincerity, suddenly she felt her palm burning hot as if it was being burned, she immediately waved Elliot's hand, and her two hands clasped behind her back, then quickly took a few steps back, separating from Elliot. Those jet-black eyes, blinked as she looked at Elliot.

'Say something… Ashley, you can't avoid me forever."

He stepped forward, and Ashley took a few steps back.

Elliot's eyes lit up, then he stepped forward again.

 Ashley still retreated.

Elliot couldn't bear it anymore, he stretched out his hand, pulled her entire body back, and brought her in front of him, his two arms immediately hugged her waist tightly, holding her tightly in front of him: "Ashley, don't run away anymore, I won't give you a chance to escape."
