''Oh my God! Boss, you can''t do it''. Ashley was freaked out by him, "That''s God, how can you undress him?"

    "It''s no big deal. They are lifeless."

    "You are too profane! You Anyway, you can''t take off his clothes! "

    Seeing that she persisted, Jasper had no choice, "my coat is too thin. It''s easy to catch a cold in sleep."

    "I''d rather have a cold!"

    "Well, ok." Jasper completely gave up.

    Seeing that Jasper had finally given up the idea, she let out a sigh of relief. She stood in front of the statue, her eyes closed and her hands folded as she muttered, "I don''t know who you are, God or Buddha. We''ve offended you a lot just now. Please forgive us. It''s a stormy night. I''m so sorry that we have offended you by sleeping in your temple. "

    Looking at the woman standing in front of the statue, Jasper was amused. But then he thought the woman''s look was really devout and beautiful.

    He sat beside the fire and added more sticks to the fire, "You go to sleep and I''ll watch the fire."

    Sitting on the floor where the jacket was laid, Ashley asked, "Are you worried about the difference between men and women?"

    Jasper stared at the sky, wordless, "Do you think I''m such kind of man?"

    She smiled awkwardly, "not really."

    "Someone must watch the fire. Or it will break down when a gust of wind blows on us when we fall asleep. He explained.

    "You can put out the fire."

    Jasper shook his head, "it''s cold in the mountain, and it''s raining and blowing. We don''t have thick clothes around me. If We don''t light up the fire to warm yourself, we''ll catch a cold in the middle of the night."

    "Then you go to sleep. I''m here to watch the wire. You have a lot of work to do in office. I have nothing to do."

    "How come you have nothing to do? You have to attend the interview the day after tomorrow." Jasper''s voice became a bit strict. What''s more, do you think I''ll leave a woman watch the fire while I''m sleeping soundly?"

    Ashley chuckled awkwardly again We can rest in turns. "

    "No one will sleep well in that case."

    "……"

    Seeing that Ashley finally didn''t ask any more questions, Jasper took one of the two shoulder pillows and lay it under her buttocks, "go to sleep quickly. Spread both of your coats under it. It''s cold on the ground."

    She didn''t say another word such as ''put on your coat lest you catch a cold''. As the boss ordered, she put the two coats under her body and looked inside with the pillow made with her backpack, "I''ll sleep then. Good night."

    "Okay. Good night."

    In a small temple in the mountains, there was a God. The left side of the God was filled with dried wood. On the right of the God, a woman lay on her side on the ground, and a man sat in front of the woman, holding a bonfire in a random way. From time to time, he added some firewood into the fire.

    The man''s profile was in warm light. The wind and the wind blew his black hair occasionally. But he didn''t notice it. His eyes were fixed on the sleeping woman.

    Ashley couldn''t sleep well, and she heard the sound of thunder and lightning. She felt like a ship floating on the waves, but there was no one to rely on, which was going to be

    le drying his wet hair with the towel.

    "When are you leaving?" The old man asked.

    "I suppose very soon. I have asked the driver to pick us up. When he comes, we will leave."

    "Henry?" Ashley asked.

    "Yes."

    "I can drive."

    "It''s a long way. I didn''t sleep last night and couldn''t drive. I''m worried about you if you drive yourself. When Henry comes, you can drive in turns with him on the way. It''ll be safer."

    She had nothing to say since the boss was so considerate.

    "Grandpa, won''t you live with me for a few days?" Jasper asked.

    The old man shook his head, "I don''t like living in city. It''s too noisy there. When you are free, come back to see me often. I don''t have much time left for such an old age like me. We rarely have chance to see each other. "

    "Yes, I know."

    These two men''s sentimental words were normal to each other, as if they were just daily necessities.

    After a short while, Henry, wearing a suit, arrived at the entrance by taking a tractor. He got off the tractor, turned around and walked into the car where Ashley and Jasper had come. He started the car and walked towards the entrance to wait for them.

    Bruce and that Tom sent them out while Ashley packed their things. Bruce and Jasper didn''t talk too much. Nelson cried badly and held Bruce''s thigh and refused to leave.

    Jasper squatted on the ground to comfort his son for a long time, then the little boy released Bruce''s legs, with tears on face. Jasper held his son in his arms and said, "Grandpa, I''m leaving."

    "Well, be careful on the way. Miss Ashley, have a nice trip too."

    "Thank you, grandpa Bruce. You and uncle Tom take care of yourself, too."

    "Ashley, I hope you can come with Jasper and stay with me for some days if you have the chance."

    The old man said seriously, and Ashley didn''t dare to neglect it. "Well, next time when Jasper comes to see you, I''ll come with him if I''m not busy with work."

    Lord Nalan gently smiled and said, "you should work hard. Everything will be fine."

    Her nose twitched in an instant. "Yes, thank you."

    "Let''s go! It''s getting dark now!"
