After half a minute of silence, the two of them entered the residential community, and it was then that Jas Black spoke again, "Do you really want to act that much?"
"Yes, I do." Jane Sampson nodded and responded in a gentle voice.
Jas Black lowered his gaze towards the woman by his side and let out a barely audible sigh.
"Then let this matter be bygones. I was wrong, and you were also wrong," said Jas Black, tightening his grip slightly on Jane Sampson’s left hand. "Now let’s talk about the second matter."
"The second matter?" Jane Sampson asked, her face full of question marks.
"Why didn’t you tell you were hurt?" Jas Black’s gaze swept over to Jane Sampson’s right hand.
Jane Sampson pouted and answered in a muffled voice, "I didn’t dare to say."
Indeed, she didn’t dare to say. On one hand, because Jas Black had already stopped contacting her for a month since she went back to the small town on her own, if she returned intact, it was one matter, but returning injured was another.
She was afraid Jas Black would be even angrier if he knew she was injured.
On the other hand, the last ti she suffered a severe case of acute high altitude disease in the small town, he rushed from the Capital Province to take her to the city hospital where he stayed with her without rest for a night. The next day, he even indulged her wish to go sightseeing.
She had been disobedient, ran back ho, and then returned again.
If she had called him because she was injured this ti, she feared Jas Black would consider her a huge nuisance.
"Am I going to eat you?" Jas Black asked somberly, "If you speak up, am I going to devour you or what?"
"Either you’ll get angry, or you’ll find annoying and botherso," Jane Sampson muttered her response.
"Know so well?" Jas Black chuckled lightly. "You get yourself into this state, and I’m not allowed to be angry?"
"You can," Jane Sampson’s voice dropped to a whisper.
Jas Black had many more questions ready, but they were scattered by Jane Sampson’s single word of ’can’.
"Lips don’t match the heart." Jas Black glanced at Jane Sampson and uttered those four words.
Jane Sampson was taken aback, then imdiately grinned at him, the smile was all about trying to please, her eyes curving like those of a little fox.
"You’re asking for it," Jas Black said, his voice softening a bit.
Jane Sampson, without any ground to stand on, nodded thrice with an ’uh-huh’, still wearing that smile, as if the person Jas Black said was asking for it wasn’t her.
Jas Black found he suddenly had no way of dealing with the shaless Jane Sampson; scolded by him, she still looked all giggles and laughs, leaving him unable to utter further words.
"Before you co back next ti, give a call. If I’m free, I’ll pick you up at the airport," Jas Black suddenly said.
Jane Sampson quickly shook her head, "No need, really. It’s very convenient to just take a taxi from the airport gate."
"At this ti, you just need to agree obediently with a ’good’," Jas Black said with an unfriendly tone, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of threat in it.
"Good," Jane Sampson agreed compliantly, changing her tune quickly.
"However busy you are, you must co ho once a month. That’s a rule that cannot change." Seeing Jane Sampson nod, Jas Black raised his hand to pat her head.
For the rest of the way, neither of them spoke.
With her hand in Jas Black’s, Jane Sampson hopped along like a rabbit as they walked. At first, she feared Jas Black would scold her, so she would skip a couple of tis, sneak a look at him, stay calm for a few seconds, then continue hopping according to the floor tiles underfoot, stopping again to look at him. Seeing no reaction, she joyfully hopped all the way to the downstairs of the building.
Her mood suddenly beca exceptionally good.
It was as if sothing in the heartland had been filled, feeling very fulfilled.
