Chapter 69 Have Fun In The Countryside (1/2)
The water on the eaves of the house was dripping into a small puddle in front of the door, and it flowed quietly towards the door along with the other puddles in the yard.
After dinner and cleaning up, it was almost ten o'clock in the midnight. Although she got up very late in the morning, she was a little tired after going out for a long time. Wiping the water on her hands, she said, ”it's very late. I'm going to have a rest.”
”Give me your phone.”
”Why do you want my cell phone?” Ashley asked as she handed the phone to him.
Jasper took over the phone, ”I'll keep it for you temporarily. There are something you'd better not see.”
This man was so overbearing that he made the decision for her without any consulting process. Although she knew it was for her good, he was actually too domineering.
”I'm afraid that if someone comes to me, it will be very inconvenient to put my phone in your place.”
”I'll tell you if anyone wants to see you.”
”But...”
”Isn't your phone locked in the screen? I won't peep at your privacy.”
”Then you...”
”I don't think it's troublesome.”
Ashley finally got speechless.
Satisfied with her obedient look, Jasper smiled and said, ”go to bed now. It's getting late.”
”Well Mr. Jasper, good night. ”
”Good night.”
After returning to her room, Ashley had nothing to do. She always wanted to play with her phone, but she couldn't do that at the moment because her phone was kept by Jasper.
The windows of both sides were open. The moist and cool breeze coming from outside was more comfortable than air conditioner in the city. Ashley lay on the bed with a mosquito wrapped bed, with a faint smell of mosquito-repellent incense at the tip of her nose. Water dripped outside. After thinking about it for a while, she tossed and turned over several times and finally fell asleep in this atmosphere.
She was awakened by the singing of a rooster in the morning. When she opened her eyes, the sky was getting bright. She looked sideways and found that the mosquito repellent tray only left a circle of grey and white ashes.
After waking up in the bandage, she got up, folded up the quilt, changed clean clothes, and tied up her hair. Then she opened the door and went out.
The middle-aged man was washing vegetables in the courtyard. When he saw her open the door, he turned around and smiled, ”Miss Ashley, you woke up.”
”Good morning! Do you know what time is it now?”
