She looked at the man and said, "I am not in the mood to smile."

"Hold the horse's neck and kiss it."

Ashley ran her fingers through her hair and held the horse's neck with her hands. The black horse was obedient.Although he didn't turn around to be intimate with her, he didn't resist either.She looked at the black horse's big mouth chewing grass, and made up her mind to approach the horse's mouth, but she dared not to kiss him.

"No, I can't kiss him." She looked at the horse and smiled.

Jasper had captured the moment when she looked at the horse with bright eyes, and behind her was a gorgeous sunflower. The sun was shining brightly, without any haze.

"Let's call it a day now. Have a rest first. You leg will be painful if you ride too long."

"Okay."

"I'll take Nelson to visit my grandfather in the afternoon. Do you want to go with me?"

"Is it convenient for you?" She wanted to leave this place which was full of rumors.

"Yes, it is. The elders usually enjoy crowds. There are a lot of mountains in the countryside. On the mountains, there are flowers, grass and fruit trees. I can take you hang around when we go there.

"Okay." She smiled.

Seeing her smile, Jasper smiled and said, "let's go to have lunch."

After lunch, she went to Jasper's study to sit for a while. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Nelson came home after school.

Bradley had prepared some food for them to eat on the road, and some of Jasper and Nelson's clothes. Ashley also packed up some clothes with her. After checking that the car was ok. Jasper drove the car and the woman and the child on the back seat, towards the countryside.

After driving on the expressway for about two hours and a half, they arrived at the mountainous area slowly. As they went deeper, the green fields slowly appeared in their sight. At the send of the fields were curvacious peaks, where the green ridge was spreading. At the top of the mountain, some clouds were rising and swaying into the sky.

"Auntie, look. There is a cabin there."

Ashley looked in the direction he pointed. In the green field, beside a few lush trees, there was a triangular cottage. A cottage, with purplish red roof and brick red walls, was extremely eye-catching in the green field.

"Look, there are cottages every where."

It seemed that they had already entered the residential area.

"It looks like it rained just now. Said Ashley, holding Nelson in her arms while talking with Jasper in a desultory kind of way.

"Yes, it usually rains in mountainous areas."

"Open a bottle of water for me."
