[Comprehensive British and American] Safe Neighborhood

Recently, Sally discovered that Lucas was trading in stocks, and he was always studying the stock market with the computer when he basically had no classes.

Investing in stocks is risky, and Sally has learned about it, although it has only touched a little bit, and Lucas's sudden interest in finance is because he is curious about the books she read recently.

Originally, Sally wanted to persuade Lucas to prevent him from losing all his money, but when she saw Lucas show her the amount in the bank card he made from trading in stocks, and even bought a car with the money, she was shocked. I feel like I'm overdoing it.

God is partial. Good-looking people often have high IQ and EQ. As the hero in the movie, Lucas is no exception.

...only he doesn't know it himself.

However, Sally still gave a few words of advice, and Lucas also listened to them.

I have been in love with Lucas for nearly two years, and they have long been inseparable from each other in life. Basically, they use money together and have no privacy for each other.

After that, Sally also found a new job in another company for financial management. Instead of dealing with various complicated relationships, she concentrated on the position that suits her.

Due to his outstanding performance in school and his talent in medicine, Lucas basically completed the credits in one semester. The dean of the department suggested that he could go to graduate school after completion, and Lucas is also considering this issue recently.

He asked Sally specifically, and Sally wanted him to go to graduate school, but Lucas seemed to have his own ideas.

...he wants to get out to work soon so he can be like Sally.

Work for money, then...marry her and raise a family.

For some reason, he thought very far on this matter.

...he wanted to be with her all the time.

Their souls have long been tightly entangled into a whole, and can no longer be separated.

July came, and Lucas's school was on vacation. A few days after the vacation, Berkeley called Sally, meaning that he hadn't seen Sally for a long time, and he missed her very much, and wanted Sally to come back and have a reunion at home.

It is true that after graduating from college, Sally was busy with work, and the Naleys also had their own affairs, and they basically never met except for frequent phone calls.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sally wanted to introduce Lucas to them formally.

She and Lucas have been together for two years and are a perfect fit in every way, and she feels it's time to let Berkeley and Holmes know about her relationship with Lucas.

I just can't help but be a little worried that they won't be too optimistic about her relationship with Lucas... After all, they are 5 years apart.

She told Lucas about going home together, and Lucas seemed to take it very seriously, and started picking out gifts for the Naleys a few days ago.

That day, Sally and Lucas drove back to Nale's house.

Sally had told Berkeley on the phone that Lucas was coming together when she went back, so Berkeley and Holmes were not surprised when they saw Lucas and received him warmly.

The family had a barbecue together in the yard, and Holmes had gone to the supermarket to buy a bunch of vegetables the day before she heard that her daughter was coming back.

After lunch, Holmes invited Lucas to go fishing nearby, and Lucas nodded.

In fact, Sally knew that Holmes must have used the excuse of fishing to have a good chat with Lucas. She was not too worried. He is a reasonable person, and there is no such thing as embarrassing Lucas.

After the two left, she and Berkeley chatted while clearing the tableware.

"Ashley, are you really sure you want to be with that kid?" Berkeley put away the fork and knife and said, "Love is not just for fun, just like me and your father Holmes The same, only by being patient and tolerant with each other can we stay together for a lifetime in the end."

This was the first time Berkeley said such words. When Sally was in college, Berkeley never asked about her love affairs, but only told her not to be deceived.

This came from another mother's concerns and suggestions for her daughter. Sally deeply understood that although in a foreign country, the relationship between parents and children will never change.

She watched Berkeley's lips curled up, and replied with a smile, "Yes, Mom, I'm sure, he is the one I want to be with forever."

It's not that she didn't think carefully. During these two years, she tested Lucas in every possible way, saw his changes, and responded to his love.

...Actually, sometimes she has not thought about what she likes about Lucas. He is so paranoid and even has a trace of unawakened cruel gene.

But after being with Lucas and experiencing the ordinary life day after day, this question has been answered bit by bit.

...Lucas is not alone in being paranoid, she is too.

That's why in the original world, she hasn't had a relationship in 28 years.

She even refused the blind date arranged by her parents, saying that she was busy with work and had no time, but in fact she had been waiting for that true love, the one who had to be her.

Berkeley raised his head and saw his daughter's eyes full of affirmation and expectation, so he didn't say anything, and nodded with a smile.

When the sun went down, Holmes and Lucas came back from fishing. The two seemed to get along very well. There were endless topics to talk about until the end of the dinner. Pass.

Although she had long expected that the two would meet, Sally was still curious when she saw such a happy scene.

Lying on the same bed with Lucas at night, she asked, "What did you talk about when you went out with him today, so happy?"

Lucas hugged her, his slightly cold hand reached into her clothes and lingered around her waist, his voice was especially pleasant in the dark, "I talked a lot about when you were young...he told me When I was young, I took you to go surfing, but you fell into the sea in a second and disappeared. He was so panicked that he stretched out his hand casually, and a miracle happened, and he fished you out of the sea..."

When Sally heard these things, she couldn't help thinking that her father also threw her high when she was young, but she missed and fell to the ground...

...It seems that the whole world is the same, the father brings the baby, and it is good to live...

Sally sympathized deeply with Ashley.

Seeing her not speaking for a long time, Lucas suddenly asked, "...do you remember?"

"what?"

"... about your past memories."

"Uh..." Sally hesitated for a while, then replied, "...don't remember, you know, I lost my memory..."

...those memories belonged to Ashley, not hers.

Sally became inexplicably sad.

Seeing this, Lucas hugged her tightly, and said close to her ear, "...it's okay, we will create memories that belong only to you..."

He stressed the word "you", as if deliberately emphasizing it.

For a moment, Sally felt as if Lucas knew everything.

It was as if she had just traveled to this time, when she chose to crash a car and be hospitalized in order to go home, Lucas stood by her bed and watched her quietly.

At that time, she also thought that she had been seen through by Lucas.

But how is it possible?

... She came into this world and occupied Ashley's body. No one knows this secret except Ashley and her.

She will also keep this secret in her heart forever.

Burying her head into his neck, Sally hooked her mouth and responded slowly.

"Well... well, only create memories that belong to me."

After coming to this world, she tried many ways but couldn't find her way home. Sometimes, she felt as if her soul was imprisoned in this body...

However, it was like the cartoon "Padding Bear" she was chasing.

When my life makes smeaprison

Maybe it's what Patin said: the human body is like a prison cell

It's your love that sets me free

-Look, Lovesetsusfree

(love set us free)

Stayed overnight at Nalai's house, and the next day, Sally and Lucas were ready to leave.

On the way back to the apartment, Sally had received a message from Berkeley, who had apparently communicated privately with Berkeley and Holmes the day before.

Berkeley: Daughter, love bravely, your father and I will always support you.

Seeing this message, Sally was undoubtedly moved.

In this strange world, she can also feel the most selfless love from her parents. She feels really lucky, even though this love does not really belong to her.

Three months later, Lucas' vacation was over and he needed to go back to school for his final term.

After completing all the subjects within two years ahead of schedule, Lucas is naturally very busy in this last semester.

After watching him study almost until 12 o'clock every night, Sally finally understood where the gap between herself and Xueba lies.

...The so-called academic master is that, not to mention being smart, he is more diligent, studious and diligent than ordinary people.

When these two skills are added together, no matter where they are placed, they are like a king bomb.

...Well, she's not going to admit that she's starting to see something good about Lucas.

Days passed and time flew by, Lucas quickly completed all the courses and graduated perfectly.

On the day Lucas graduated, Sally went to Pitt University to attend his graduation ceremony. When she saw Lucas standing on the stage in a black suit and leather shoes, she felt a little strange sitting in the audience. .

Obviously he is so good, why did she feel uneasy all of a sudden.

Sally felt a little ashamed of the weird feeling in her heart, buried it in her heart, and she attended his graduation ceremony.

She has noticed that there are other female voices who are more beautiful and temperament than her in his school who like him, and she carefully observes Lucas's reaction to them, but she can't see through.

He is basically polite to everyone outside, whether boys or girls like him very much, and he responds to everyone politely.

That night, Sally slept with Lucas, and Lucas wanted it, but Sally refused.

"...what's the matter?" Originally wanted to kiss her lips, but she turned her head to avoid it, Lucas asked with a puzzled face, a pair of green pupils were full of strong desire, and his breath was hot Spray on the side of her face.

In my mind, those girls who were clearly thoughtful talked to Lucas and he responded with a smile, Sally felt her heart was congested, she covered the quilt and kept her head outside, Sally stared at Lucas and said, ". ..Did you immediately find a new home after breaking up?"

The brown-haired boy was obviously taken aback, staring at Sally with probing eyes, with a serious face, "...I won't break up."

Sally snorted, and didn't intend to make a detour, and asked directly, "Are you the king of the sea?"

"...What is Aquaman?"

"It's the central air conditioner, the kind that's good for everyone."

After thinking for a while, Lucas asked, "...what's the matter? What happened today?"

Sally chuckled twice, her tone was understated, "The girl with a black frame and a gray uniform skirt who took the initiative to talk to you today, can't you see that she is interested in you?"

According to her description, Lucas thought for a few seconds, "...you mean Joey?"

"It should be, Joe or something."

Seeing her puffy cheeks after she finished speaking, Lucas smiled, and narrowed her beautiful peach eyes, "...She is interested in me, and she invited me to spend the night alone at her house last semester. ..”

Hearing him say these words unabashedly, Sally stared at him with wide eyes, and asked in a sour tone, "...such a good opportunity, a beauty meet, why don't you go?"

"Why do you want to go?" Lucas asked rhetorically, saying absently, "...I don't like her, it's disgusting to see her."

He tore off the quilt covering her body, looked at the smooth and round shoulders of the person below him, bowed his head and kissed her.

The sudden intimacy made Sally lose her mind for a second. She instinctively pushed him, but he grabbed her wrist with one hand and pressed it on top of her head.

???

What's the matter with this domineering president's sense of déjà vu?

Sally began to struggle, but she couldn't get rid of Lucas's holding her hand, subconsciously about to kick him, but he squeezed her whole body between her legs.

Controlling her whole body, he lowered his head and kissed her hard, so that she could no longer avoid it.

Sally was so kissed that she couldn't breathe.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that Lucas was no longer the 13-year-old weak and beautiful boy she remembered, he had truly grown into a man...

After finishing the work, Lucas carried her to the bathroom to take a shower. After a toss, Sally only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Don't smile like that at girls who obviously like you in the future, do you understand?" Sally said to Lucas after changing into her pajamas.

Lucas nodded, put his arms around her waist, and smelled her body fragrance, "...so you are jealous today?"

Sally admitted honestly that she was indeed jealous, and then said, "...But it's not just because of this."

"...?"

Holding Lucas's face with both hands, the two looked at each other, and Sally said to him seriously, "...Lucas, you don't need to like someone, but you must never play with other people's feelings. "

"Any relationship needs to be respected. You are not allowed to smile at that girl because it can be seen that she likes you. Since you won't respond to her, don't give her that illusion. You have to reject her."

"It's like you confessed to me, but I didn't treat you sincerely. I just played with you. You don't like being treated like this, do you?"

Lucas looked at her quietly for a long time, then asked slowly, "...Then are you sincere to me?"

"Yes."

Sally's answer without hesitation moved his eyes a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly opened, his astonishing face was as white and flawless as an angel.

"...Then I see."
