Anna walked into the house lightly and whispered softly, "She goes to bed early, so I try not to make any noise. What would you like to drink?"

Jacob followed behind Anna awkwardly. He didn't notice it. Because he was too nervous, he was on the same arm and foot. His stiff movements looked like a penguin moving, and he didn't dare to look around. , followed Anna's figure without squinting, lest he be too sloppy.

Suddenly, Anna turned around and asked softly, "I only have whiskey."

Jacob was caught off guard and slammed into Anna's eyes. There were only two lamps on the bedside table and the desk in the room. The lights were a little dim, but those eyes were shining like the first dawn at five o'clock in the morning. Like dewdrops, gurgling hot spring water flows.

Jacob nodded blankly, the smile on the corner of his mouth raised a little bit, and he said conditioned reflexively, "Okay." But Anna didn't notice that, she threw the small backpack on the bed/on the bed, and turned around to get the whiskey . At this time, Jacob realized that his eyes were always falling on Anna, which made him a little uncomfortable. He lowered his eyes and looked at the dark beige carpet on the floor, covering up his panic.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Anna's movements, and his brain reacted, and he said awkwardly, "I don't drink much, actually." He tilted his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised his hand to touch the brow bone. It seemed a little itchy, but I realized that this action was not very elegant, so I put it down jerky, my hands were at a loss, and finally tucked into the jeans pocket in a panic.

There are no wine glasses in Anna's house. One is a ceramic cup for drinking Japanese sake, and the other is a glass cup for drinking boiled water. Two people have one cup. Jacob looked at the glass in his hand and thought inexplicably: Is he the first visitor in this room

Jacob raised his eyes and looked into Anna's eyes secretly, only to find that Anna was also looking at him, the smile at the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and then he quickly pursed his lips to hide his joy, Jacob Bo held up the glass stiffly, "Cheers."

Accidentally, the sound was too loud, echoing in the bedroom, and suddenly Jacob and Anna both turned into wooden figures, their body muscles were completely stiff, only their eyes were turning, holding their breath, waiting for a long time. Yes, there was no sound of complaining, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Immediately, a sense of joy hit their hearts, making people smile.

Anna lightly bit the inner side of her lower lip, and then restrained the corners of her mouth, but her downturned eyes couldn't help but secretly looked at Jacob's shy and nervous smile, the pink bubbles of a girl's heart. She couldn't help it, she quickly picked up the cup in her hand and took a sip of whiskey.

But I didn't expect that because I was too nervous, one mouthful was actually a big mouthful, and two-thirds of it went away in a blink of an eye. Putting down the glass, Anna noticed that Jacob really only took a sip, and Anna suddenly remembered: Jacob said just now that he doesn't drink much. This made her cheeks start to burn, and she raised her eyes to look at the expression on Jacob's face, and then saw a faint blush forming a layer of veil like a cloud of mist in the bottom of her eyes.

It was the first time she saw a man who was so bad at drinking. So, he chose to use whisky as a drink for his own sake; or... Could this be his first time drinking whisky

"Haha." Anna only felt her heart skip a beat. She saw Jacob raised his right hand in confusion, and then realized that he was holding a cup in his right hand. It was neither sitting nor standing. It was not dull and jerky, which made Anna's smile rise slightly. She heard Jacob sigh in embarrassment, "This is very strong."

Anna lowered her head to look at her toes, hiding the high smile at the corners of her mouth, nodded vigorously, and replied simply "um". At this time, Anna realized that the two of them had been standing, awkward and stiff, Jacob was more like a good student, standing at attention, she hurriedly sat down on the bed, trying to ease the atmosphere, Also let Jacob feel at ease.

Jacob secretly glanced at Anna who was sitting down, and his mood relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to look around boldly, he could only look at the least girly corner of the room - the desk, "This is where you sit. Is it a writing chair?" He carefully walked over with a glass of wine, and sat down on the chair cautiously, but his muscles still did not dare to relax easily. So comfortable."

"Pfft." Anna laughed outright. She had never heard such a topical skill. She suppressed her smile and nodded solemnly, "Just sit down."

Jacob also felt his clumsiness. He raised his left hand again, touched his brow bone, covered his eyes, took the opportunity to divert his eyes, looked at the things on the desk curiously, and saw at a glance the things placed on the desk. Next to a stack of CDs, "Do you like Paul-Simon?"

"Yeah, how about you?" Anna looked at Jacob's childlike expression of exploring the unknown, and watched quietly.

The corners of Jacob's mouth twitched, and his emotions relaxed without knowing it. "Yes, I love Paul Simon." He carefully pulled the disc out of the stack, only to cause the scattered postcards to fall off. When he got down, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and turned to look at Anna, his eyes clearly expressing his apology.

Anna waved her hand and said that she didn't need to worry, her expression became soaring, "Really?"

Jacob manages to get his hands on the record, carefully placing his glass next to him, "Yes, I like that 'Grad'." Then he opens the album and peruses the track list. "It sounds really good."

"Haha." Anna laughed happily, "That's my favorite album."

Jacob held up the album and gestured with his eyes. Anna immediately understood and nodded again and again, "Of course there is no problem."

Anna put the album "Blessed Land" on the record player. In the soft music, the two finally relaxed a little. Jacob took off his jacket and, at Anna's invitation, was on the left side of the bed. Found a place - the room is too small, except for the uncomfortable chair, there is only a bed to sit on, and there is not enough space even to sit on the floor.

Jacob sat cross-legged next to him, straightening his waist, as if he was attending a lecture by a Buddhist master; Anna was sitting on the head of the bed with a pillow and sat reclining as a lady, looking carefully at Jacob in front of her. Bu, just sitting quietly like this, letting the silence and silence slowly spread in the air, she can also enjoy it.

Jacob could catch the shallow smile at the corner of Anna's mouth, and he couldn't help but catch the light in Anna's eyes out of the corner of his eyes, but he was worried that his little abacus would be seen through, so he bluntly changed the subject, "I can help Do I read something aloud?"

"What do you want me to read aloud?" Anna was worried that her eyes were too hot, so she had to lower her eyes, and her eyes fell on Jacob's feet wearing black socks. She liked his outfit today, with a light gray shirt and black jeans , under the feet is a pair of black low-top Converse, the simple dress reveals a clean, even more refreshing than a white shirt.

Anna raised her eyes, then met Jacob's, and saw the faint smiles in each other's eyes, "Something you wrote." Jacob said softly, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly Outline.

Anna paused, she wanted to say "no", but when the words came to her lips, it became, "Okay." How could she refuse this smile

Anna got out of the bed, found her notebook on the desk, turned around and said with a serious face, "You are not allowed to laugh at me."

Laughing, he laughed softly, like a spring breeze blowing his face, bringing the fishy smell of the sea and the dryness of the sun, Jacob shook his head with a smile, and said in a voice that was almost breathy, "Of course not."

Anna couldn't help laughing along with Jacob. She sat down again, took a deep breath, and tried to find courage, "I've never read it out loud." She raised her head and looked at Jacob's dark brown pair of Eyes, "So, you will be the first listener. Are you sure you want to hear it?" Anna looked at Jacob's smile with a hint of indifference. She didn't speak, just nodded slightly. He bit his lip and nodded, making up his mind.

"I thought I understood and understood, but I don't. I don't understand at all." Anna read aloud nervously, "I only see the surface, the inner suppressed and precious desire..." She could feel the scorching gaze, He couldn't help but pause for a moment, raised his eyes, and then crashed into the deep lake, falling on him calmly and attentively, with a trace of greed, a trace of desire, and a trace of pampering, his eyes fixed, as if the whole world was in At this moment, the rotation stopped, and only the pair of eyes were left, and even the soft music in the ears disappeared completely.

Puff, puff, puff.

Anna could clearly hear the sound of her heart beating and pounding, and the uncontrollable throbbing was like a warm halo surrounding her.

Felicity's brain fell into a blank space, and in that pair of bright and splendid eyes, she slowly fell, the gentleness and beauty of the gently falling, made her lose all perception; those eyes So deep, so focused, so childish, yet desperate and burning like moths to flames, like a free fall, suddenly descending from a high altitude, but crashing into a soft, all defenses suddenly torn, the performance The barriers to life and life were completely broken at this moment, so that the sound of the heart beating began to hit the eardrum hard, bang, bang, bang… bang, and then again.

At this moment, she just fell like this, like this, fell in love like this, just like this... heart-pounding.
