The Greatest Showman - Chapter 226

[225 The heart is beating]

Anna walked into the room lightly, and whispered softly, “She goes to bed early, so I try not to make noise, what would you like to drink?”

Jacob followed behind Anna jerky, he I didn’t notice that, because he was too nervous, he was now a bit on the same arm and foot, and his stiff movements looked like a penguin moving. Too frumpy. ?

Suddenly, Anna turned around and asked softly, “I only have whisky.”

Jacob caught Anna’s eyes off guard. Only the bedside table and the desk lamp were lit up in the room. It was a little dim, but those eyes were shining brightly, like the dewdrops reflecting the dawn at five o’clock in the morning, flowing with the gurgles of hot spring water.

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 realize it, 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 my jeans pockets 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, but found that Anna was also looking at him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but rise slightly, and then quickly pursed the corners of his mouth 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 felt her heart skip a beat, and she saw Jacob raised his right hand in a bewildered way, and then realized that he was holding a cup in his right hand. 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 and looked at her toes, hiding the raised corner of her mouth. Smile, nodded vigorously, and simply responded with a “hmm”. 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 desk in the least girly corner of the room, “This is where you sit and write. Is it a chair?” He carefully walked over with a glass of wine, and sat down on the chair cautiously, but his muscles still didn’t dare to relax easily. It ‘s comfortable.”

“Pfft.” Anna laughed outright, she had never heard such a topical technique before, she suppressed her smile and nodded solemnly, “Just sit down.”

Jacob also felt himself Clumsy, 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 a stack of CDs placed beside him at a glance. “Do you like Paul Simon (pau1?” “Yeah, how about you?” Anna looked at Jacob

‘s childlike expression of exploring the unknown, and just watched it quietly.

Unconsciously, he relaxed, “Yes, I love Paul Simon.” He carefully pulled the disc out of the stack of things, but the postcards scattered on it fell off. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Turning his head to look at Anna, her eyes clearly expressed her apology.

Anna waved her hand, saying that she didn’t need to worry, and her expression became soaring, “Really?”

Jacob successfully got the record and carefully took the wine glass I put the floor next to it, “Yes, I like that ‘Grad’.” Then I opened the album and browsed the album track list carefully. “It sounds really good.”

“Hehe.” Anna happily Laughing out loud, “That’s my favorite album.”

Jacob held up the album and gestured with his eyes. Anna understood immediately, and nodded again and again, “Of course there’s no problem.”

Anna put the album “Blessed Land” on the record player. In the soft music, the two of them finally relaxed a little. Jacob took off his jacket and was on the left side of the bed at Anna’s invitation. I found the place and the room was too small. Apart from the uncomfortable chair, there was only a bed to sit on, and there was not enough space even to sit on the floor.

Jacob sat cross-legged next to him, straightening his back, as if he was attending a lecture by a Buddhist master; Anna was leaning against the head of the bed with pillows, sitting on a ladylike recline, looking carefully at Jacob in front of him 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 Do I read something?”

“What do you want me to read?” Anna was worried that her eyes were too hot, so she had to lower her eyes, and her eyes fell on the soles of Jacob’s black socks. She liked his outfit today. , a light gray shirt with black jeans, and a pair of black low-top Converse under the feet. 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 smile in each other’s eyes, “Something you wrote.” Jacob said softly, the curvature of the corner of his mouth could not help but slightly Outline.

Anna paused, she wanted to say “no”, but when the words came to her mouth, 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, she laughed softly, like a spring breeze blowing her face, bringing sea water The fishy smell and the dryness of the sun, Jacob shook his head with a smile, and said in an almost breathless voice, “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 didn’t. I didn’t understand at all.” Anna read aloud nervously, “I only see the surface, the suppressed and precious desire inside…” She could feel the burning gaze. , paused for a moment, raised his eyes, and then crashed into the deep lake, and fell on himself calmly and attentively, with a trace of greed, a trace of desire and a trace of indulgence, his eyes fixed, as if the whole world At this moment, they stopped turning, only those eyes were full of eyes, 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 eardrums violently, bang, bang, bang… one, and then one.

At this moment, she fell like this, fell in love like this, just like this… her heart was beating. 8
