Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Hearing this, Jasper acted as if he did not hear her. He pulled a stool and sat down beside Ruby. He placed the entire plate in front of Ruby and placed one hand on the back of Ruby's chair. He rejected with a cold expression, "I don't have enough storage on my phone." After being rejected twice in a row, the girl shrugged and left. She even smiled politely at the others, as if nothing had happened and she was not embarrassed at all.

Stella felt so awkward that she forgot to eat the barbecue in her hand. She asked in confusion, "Are young people nowadays so straightforward in flirting with people?" Wasn't she a little too careless? What if the other party was a handsplayboy? Wasn't she walking into a trap? Why didn't she have any sense of self-protection? Stella didn't understand.

Olivia was not surprised by the girl's actions at all. She said in a natural tone, "That's right. This kind of situation is very common in our university. If they add each other's contact information, they'll start chatting. If they are hitting it off, they'll have a relationship. If they're not compatible, they'll break up." After hearing this, Stella lamented that she was outdated. "I see. Alright, looks like I'm really old." Liam wasn't strange. This kind of thing was very common at the school gate or in the parking lot, especially next to those luxury cars.

Liam complained Jasper, who was sitting beside him, "Jasper, it's really difficult for you to get out of singlehood like this. You're not giving girls any face. You can add and than delete it when you go back tomorrow. At least you can give her sface." This way, she wouldn't be awkward.

Jasper opened a bottle of beverage and took a sip. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong. His expression was normal as he said naturally, "She's not my girlfriend. Why should I give her face?" Everyone thought, 'That makes sense." Stella smiled and took a bite of the barbecue that had already been cooled by the wind. She praised, "Whoever has Jasper as a boyfriend in the future will feel especially safe. He is chaste. Liam, learn from him." "Stella, I'm also very chaste. I'm not even in a relationship yet." The men laughed.

Liam felt that there was a reason why Jasper was single. With this emotional intelligence, his father was worried that Jasper would do something to his sister. He was really thinking too much.

Olivia added, "That's right. It's great that my brother is like this. If he agreeed to add everyone's WhatsApp, wouldn't he beca playboy?" Everyone nodded. Only Ruby did not nod. She kept her head lowered as she ate. She seemed to be thinking about something and had a smile on her face. She was especially quiet at night.

Jasper, who was praised, acted as if he was an outsider. He pursed his lips and did not speak. He quietly drank his drink and ate.

The ones who talked the most in one night were Liam, Stella and Olivia.

In the middle of the night, everyone was asleep. The zipper of a tent was unzipped. Ruby stuck her head out and was about to leave the tent. She was holding a slightly larger cell phone.

She lowered her head and was about to turn on the flashlight when she felt that she had to change her tampon.

She needed to find a place. "Are you going to the bathroom?" It was a statement, not a question.

Ruby looked up and saw the man with his hands in his pockets looking down at her. He was already standing beside her.

She heard the affirmation in his voice and wondered if she had guessed correctly. She had the illusion that he was waiting for her, but she was a shy person. She would not ask Jasper bluntly if he was waiting for her to go to the toilet.

She stood up straight and did not answer his question about going to the bathroom. Instead, she asked gently, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Is Liam asleep?" When she hid her stubbornness, she was especially gentle, so gentle that it was as soft as water.

"Yes, do you want to go to the bathroom?" He seemed to not let go of the question of going to the bathroom and continued to ask.

Ruby was a little embarrassed, but he turned around and looked around. It was dark in the distance and a little scary. His voice was like a mosquito. "Yes." However, he still heard it and ignored her embarrassed. "Let's go. I'll go with you." Without waiting for her permission, he grabbed a flashlight from the table and stood to one side of her. The beam illuminated the dim road ahead. The distance between them was less than an inch. His hands were protective behind her, not touching her body, making protective movements at all times.

When they reached a corner, Jasper grabbed her arm and stopped her from moving forward. He said softly, "Stand here. I'll go take a look." As soon as he finished speaking, he shone his flashlight on an empty space in front of him and checked it again and again.

She obediently stood rooted to the ground. For a moment, she was in a daze. She watched in a daze as he bent down to examine the ground. He used his feet to destroy the grass on the ground and flatten it.

In the eyes of his classmates, he had a cold face and looked like a Buddha who was unapproachable. They could not get close to his heart and could not guess what he was thinking.

And now, as she watched him do all this, she suddenly felt that her stubbornness was worth it. He was really good.

However, he was very stubborn.

This special stubbornness could be transformed into other precious things, such as...

When he cout, he saw her looking at him with a silly smile. He was baffled. He frowned slightly and handed her the flashlight. She didn't take it and just looked at him.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to the bathroom anymore?" Ruby cback to her senses and replied with a smile on her face. Seeing that he was a little confused, she shook her head and replied gently, "No, give it to me." She had already reached out with her hand in the air. He suddenly retracted the flashlight and said calmly, "I'll help you turn on the light. It's not convenient for you." Ruby was speechless. Should he watch? As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around consciously and walked about ten inches forward. Suddenly, he stopped and stopped walking. He was very close to her. Before she could say anything, his magnetic voice floated into her eardrums. "I'm not looking. You do yours. | can only stand here." He had one hand in his pocket and the other behind his back. The light shone on the area that he had just flattened.

Ruby knew that he would not turn around, but it was awkward to be so close. She braced herself and squatted down. Her little face was already like a stir-fried crayfish.

It was fiery red, and a sense of shyness reached her head.

It was as if nothing had happened to him. He just stood there quietly, waiting, not speaking or moving. He was like a wooden stake or a scarecrow.

Ruby was speechless.

She controlled the frequency of her peeing and tried her best not to make a sound. However, the night was very quiet. The sound of water hitting the ground would still be very abrupt. She covered her face and really wanted to hold back her pee. At this moment, Ruby wanted to burrow through the ground.

After a few minutes, she stood up carefully and tried to move as quickly as possible. After straightening her clothes, she stood beside him with her head lowered. Her cheeks were too red, and she was too embarrassed to look up.

Hearing her voice, he slowly turned his tall body around. Seeing her shyly lowering her head, he felt that she was cute and teased her, "No Rest For Restrooms. Next time, it's your turn to keep watch for me." He said it in all seriousness.

She raised her head as if she had heard something strange. She glared at him fiercely. In his opinion, her gaze was not fierce but rather cute. He smiled. "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go." In the dim light, the two of them walked side by side. Just like when they came, a protective hand appeared behind her.

This scene was seen by the young lady who flirted with him during the day. She was extremely envious. She had originally planned to look at the scenery outside, but this scene caught her off guard.

She sighed. So there was someone he liked. No wonder he rejected her so thoroughly.

Outside the tent, Ruby was about to wash her hands with mineral water. Jasper noticed what she wanted to do.

He placed the flashlight on the table and unscrewed a new bottle of mineral water. "Giveyour hand." Ruby was like an obedient child. She did whatever he said and was extremely obedient. He poured water for her and she washed her hands, cooperating with him.

After washing up, there were a few more tissues in front of her. She took them and thanked him. "Thank you." "Yeah." It was not until Ruby entered the tent and zipped it up that Jasper crawled into another tent. Inside the tent, Liam was sleeping with his limbs spread out. Jasper kicked Liam's leg to the side in disdain.

In his sleep, Liam grunted and turned over to continue sleeping. With Liam's sleeping posture, Jasper made up his mind to never sleep with this dude again.

This time, he was too careless. He did not prepare an extra tent. He used his jacket as a line between the two of them and leaned his body outwards with all his might. He placed one hand on the back of his head and stared at the top of the tent. The more he thought about it, the cuter he thought she was.

As he thought about it, he picked up his phone and started to flip through the photo album. After looking at it for a while, he opened the chat interface and typed with one hand. [Callif you still want to go to the bathroom.] In the tent next door, Ruby was touched and embarrassed when she saw this line of words. Couldn't he say something else? For example, [if she had something to say to him.] Did he have to say that? She replied, [I'm not going.] Jasper replied, [Yes, okay.] After typing this word, a hand was placed at his waist. Before the hand could touch him, Jasper moved Liam's leg away forcefully. It was not gentle at all.

A few minutes later, Liam, who was sleeping restlessly, hugged Jasper like he was hugging a pillow at home. His hands and feet were together, and he wanted to use Jasper as a pillow to sandwich between his legs.

He was pushed to the other side by Jasper. He patted his body in disdain and frowned. He turned to look at Liam, who was sleeping in an extremely bad position, and pondered.

Liam had a habit of sleeping with another pillow between his legs. At this moment, he treated Jasper as a pillow.

In order to prevent this guy from lying on him at night, Jasper sat up and found a few ropes in his backpack.

A few minutes later, Liam's hands and feet were tied together with a blanket. He lay upright like a mummy. He was considerate. At least, he was afraid that Liam would catch a cold.

Jasper looked at Liam, who was lying on the side and tied up by himself. Satisfied with his masterpiece, he closed his eyes in satisfaction and slept happily.

The next morning, he heard chattering outside. There were more than one person's voices. There were several of them, sfamiliar and sunfamiliar.

Jasper, who was about to leave the tent, guessed that the unfamiliar person should be the group of people who watched the sunrise together.

As soon as he put on his coat, the person beside her started wailing. "Ah, ah..." Outside the tent, Ruby and Olivia heard the screams and walked over. They stood outside and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are there insects?" The two of them asked this, but they didn't think so. It was so well-protected and surrounded by insect repellent.

Last night, Jasper had placed many insect repellent devices around the tent, afraid that they would be bitten by insects.

The voice inside stopped abruptly. It was Jasper's voice. His voice was hoarse from waking up early in the morning. "He is fine. He is angry from waking up." Inside the tent, Liam's mouth was stuffed with a towel. He could not say anything he wanted to say, nor could he move his hands or feet. He looked at Jasper, who was lying, with doubt in his eyes.

Jasper did not remove the towel from his mouth immediately. He had stuffed this towel into his mouth in a moment of desperation. He was afraid that the people outside would misunderstand that he had bullied Liam, so he gave him a heads-up. "I can help you remove it. You promise not to scream or spout nonsense." Liam kept nodding and whimpering. Did he have any other choice? Jasper roughly removed the towel from Liam's mouth. Before Liam could speak, Jasper gestured for him to keep quiet.

Liam was not sure if the towel had wiped the table. "Pah..." Jasper, on the other hand, was calm and composed as if nothing had happened. He helped Liam untie the rope on his hand, but not the rope on his feet.

After his hand was freed, Liam sat up and swallowed his saliva. As the towel was too big, his mouth seemed to be stuffed. He stuck his tongue into his cheek and moved it. He asked, "Jasper, what are you doing? Why did you tieup?" He stared at the expressionless Jasper, who seemed to have done nothing. His hand was untying the rope on his feet.

He was extremely depressed. He had actually been tied up for the entire night. He was wondering why he felt like he had been kidnapped and sunk into the lake last night. He did not sleep very well. So that was the problem.

Jasper retorted bluntly, "Don't you know what kind of sleeping posture you have? If | don't tie you up, are you planning to letsit there until dawn?" Liam tidied his hair in confusion. "Is my sleeping so bad? When | slept with my sister when | was young, she didn't tellthat my sleeping posture wasn't good." "You said it was when you were a kid." Liam was speechless. No matter how bad it was, he wouldn't becto the point of needing to be tied up to sleep, right?
