“Hey, who cares about you? Bullshit!” Anna nodded after hearing the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she glared. For some reason, Brandon found Ann at that moment so cute.

Brandon smiled, then the two walked silently to the house Brandon had described earlier.

Although it was pitch black, under the gentle light of the street lamps, Anna could still glimpse the house with dark orange tiles, the four walls covered with moss, and the moss-like vines, constantly crawling to different positions. The house seemed to be quite old and must have existed here for a long time.

Not far from the house was a large mulberry tree, vines winding around its trunk. Some foliage points up to the sky, and some fall back down, looking very lively. Sometimes there is wind, and the leaves sway like scared something.

“It’s an old house, isn’t it?” Anna stood in the distance, squinting at the front. “It looks like the house was built in the twentieth century, around 1485 onwards, right?

    In the kitchen, the heat radiated, Anna quickly stirred the pot of meat porridge, then added a little seasoning, and finally added little chopped scallions into the pot. It’s one o’clock in the morning, and Anna has texted her parents, informing them she will stay at Vivia’s house for the night. Vivia has been to her house a few times, so Anna’s parents know their daughter has a new best friend at school, and they welcome Vivia. Later, Anna also sent Vivia a message, instructing Vivia that, if Anna’s parents call, just say she is with Vivia. Clack! Anna put the lid on the pot after turning off the stove. The porridge is cooked. As long as Brandon wakes up, he can eat porridge. Recalling Brandon’s expression tonight, Anna noticed that he had two faces when he was with everyone. With close people, Brandon creates a feeling of friendliness and warmth. He can smile in front of them and can show his weak face without hesitation. With strangers, or just stopping at basic communicatio

    Brandon summarized the story he encountered today for Anna. But Anna assessed, compared to when talking with Ms. Bunny, Brandon seems to use less emotion in her sentences.‘As expected of men, they only like attractive people.’ The bunny suit that Anna wore while serving in the bar was quite sexy, and Brandon liked Ms. Bunny like that, so Anna guessed Brandon was quite fond of sexy girls.“Huh.” Brandon didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Anna, completely quieting her down. Okay, he’s a patient. Give him a moment, Anna told herself.“So, what do you want?” In the middle of a space with the only sound coming from the TV, the content Brandon suddenly said startled Anna.“What?” Anna still did not quite understand what Brandon meant. She felt that she never seemed to fully understand the sentences Brandon said.“I ask you again, what do you want?” Brandon repeated, his expression still as calm as ever.“Sorry, but I still don’t quite understand what you’re saying?” To put it bluntly,

    The place wasn’t very big, so Anna had to curl up to sit inside. A sleepless night taking care of Brandon, plus being in the rain for a long time, made Anna’s face look tired. Even working overtime rarely made her so tired. … Pipes, pipes. In the deep blue sky, the sun is rising, the warm sunlight shines through everything. In a small park, a girl slept under a slide for one night, her whole body hunched over, looking pitiful. Anna felt the sun shining in her eyes. She woke up dreamily. ‘Oh, where is this?’ Anna was bewildered. Everything that happened last night flashed through her mind. ‘I didn't come home yesterday, that's right.’ Suddenly remembering something, Anna hurriedly searched for her phone in her bag. Today is not a weekend, so she has to go to class in the morning. 7:30 A.M Anna sees the number in the middle of the phone screen. After seeing this number, she quickly put on her bag and ran to school. Less than half an hour left, Medrano High School will official

    Clatter!Ring… ring… ring.Anna closed the door, and as soon as she took her seat, the class bell rang. Anna wiped the sweat from her forehead, letting out a sigh of relief.Luckily, there’s still time!In addition to the condition that students receive scholarships, to receive allowance from the school, Anna must be present for attendance on time. In a month, do not let go late three times. If more than three times, then there will be no allowance in the first week of the following month.Therefore, every day Anna tries to go to school on time. Not to mention receiving allowance, but coming to school on time is the duty and responsibility of students.“Anna, why are you so late today?” Vivia sat next to Anna, while the teacher hadn’t arrived. She leaned closer to Anna, asking questions.‘Didn’t she say she was going to Vivia’s house? Why would Vivia ask that? Could it be that Anna didn’t come to Vivia’s house last night?’ Brandon, as usual, was still asleep on the table. But as soon

    In Peter’s drawer, Brandon found the chemistry book that Peter had forgotten. ‘Finally found you!’ Brandon looked at Peter’s crumpled book, rarely smiling. He went back to his seat, quietly placed the book on Anna’s desk, then pretended to turn his head away again. Anna looked at the Chemistry book lying on the table in front of her and immediately looked at Brandon. Her heart was extremely struggling. To accept or not to receive? Finally, Anna took Brandon’s book, then whispered. “Thank you, Brandon.” Brandon smiled when he saw Anna take Peter’s chemistry book, but immediately, he glared at her next move. “But I can’t receive it.” Anna took the book and put it on Brandon’s desk. She smiled softly, but in Brandon’s eyes, the smile was extremely hateful. “Why don’t you take it? Vivia doesn’t have a second book to lend you either!” Brandon asked Anna angrily. He didn’t understand what Anna was thinking. Anna smiled sweetly as she shook her head. Brandon looked at her smile. H

    Charles looked at Jessica’s eloquent way of talking. He smiled, a very calm and wise look, the complete opposite of her shrewish. “Jessica, are you done talking yet?” Jessica heard Charles’ question and nodded quickly. But his relaxed expression made her feel a little strange. ‘Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with that?’ Jessica looked at her teacher suspiciously. “Ok, then it’s my turn to talk then!” Charles looked at Jessica, he announced. “Just now, you said, I reduced Anna’s number of copying penalties from one hundred to ten. Here, I completely follow the rules that I have set. It’s just a decrease in the level of enforcement, am I right?” Vivia nodded quickly. Suddenly she felt that Mr. Charles was too handsome! Before Jessica could object, Charles continued, “So the law is still the law. I did not refute the rule that I made.” “Secondly, you’ve probably heard me talk about Anna’s behavior, haven’t you?” Anna caught a glimpse of the confidence in Charles’ eyes. ‘Perhap

    Anna nodded, then quickly sat down. She had never imagined such a happy ending.‘Ten times. I should be able to finish the copy by the end of the day.’ Anna flipped through Vivia’s chemistry book, carefully counting the pages of the latest lesson.‘Oh, this is about three pages, ten times thirty. I hope I can make it in time!’ Anna looked at her watch. There were about eight hours left until bedtime.Reng!!!The school bell rang, and students all over the school instantly exploded.Contrary to everyone’s joy, Anna was still sitting in her place. She lowered her head and scribbled, her hand moving constantly.‘Hmm, already written five times, half more left. I’m afraid I’ll have to sit here a little longer.’ Anna glanced at her watch from time to time, remember clearly that she had an overtime shift at the bar today.Thinking that it would take more than an hour to get on the bus, then go home and wash up, Anna determine stayed at the school until she finished writing ten copies of the

    Phew~Anna sighed. Today is an unlucky day for her.She does not bring Chemistry books to school. When she go to work, she get stuck in traffic and get on the wrong bus, which is an hour late.‘I don't know what everyone is doing today.’ Anna wasn't happy in her heart.Of all her part-time jobs, this one at the bar was the highest paying, able to pay more than half of her mother’s medical bills in a month.She received the second highest amount of money from a Medrano scholarship, not from her part-time job. That was the reason she entered this school.Within a month, the total of the items above almost paid for her mother's medicine.Anna will earn money for living from the remaining part-time jobs. After all, she is also human and has her requirements for living, but she cannot ask for money from her father, so Anna must make a living for herself.Anna's father took care of the general living expenses that need to be spent in the family.

    “The price is fourteen dollars and fifty-nine cents.” A quick voice said, “Here’s your change. Have a nice day. Thank you for visiting our store.”Anna saw off the last customer in the convenience store, then twisted the ‘close’ face of the open-close sign board hanging in front of the glass door. She let out a long breath after wiping the sweat off her forehead. Finished the shift today!Anna’s shift today didn’t end so late. As usual, she could go home at 9 am, but the person on duty reported that she can't come today, so Anna tried to work until eleven o’clock at night.Her parents and younger brother were asleep now.Family members have been doing this for many years.

    After drinking a wake up soup, Brandon gradually regained consciousness. He rubbed his head, and tiredly lay on the bed, reminiscing about the whole day.Suddenly remembering the pink piece of paper that had been returned, Brandon jumped, opened his backpack, and took out a very wrinkled pink piece of paper.‘Maybe she have solved that problem?’ Brandon speculated.But before long, the entire detailed solution of the Olympic problem that gave Brandon a headache was written on the back of the piece of paper.‘Really?’ Brandon still couldn’t believe this fact.“Hmm…”Brandon mused, if that’s the case, then this means he has to fulfill his promise to do something for Anna.Really? Does he have to do something for her?The joy of meeting Ms. Bunny disappeared in an instant, Brandon thought for a long time. In his mind was the image of Anna with a malicious expression asking him to do shameful things.Although Brandon had anticipated this, the thought of doing something for Anna still made

    “You know, Peter is my closest friend. I felt very ashamed when I saw my mother hurt him.” Brandon sighed in a voice filled with sadness. “I know he won’t notice, but I hate my mother. She is authoritarian.”Brandon was in a bad mood that day, and finally, Anna understood why.“Is your friend getting better?” Anna asked.Brandon nodded. “He wasn’t badly hurt. His face and hands were hurt, but most of the debris went to the outside of his jacket.”“Maybe Peter will go to school soon.” Brandon thought, then added.Anna listened. She sympathized with Brandon and understood why he ignored the note she had sent him this morning.However, Anna must be very careful, in case Brandon knows Bunny is Anna, his classmate.Not that Anna couldn’t tell Brandon who she was, but she didn’t want too many people to know she worked here, especially as Brandon was also her classmate.Brandon and Anna had been here for two hours. It was now past nine o’clock in the evening. The bar has become more crowded.

    "Wait? Wait until when? You've said this almost ten times already!" Jessica will bite her lip, her beautiful face is fierce. This afternoon, after lunch, Jessica saw Brandon, Anna, and a few others gathered together. Looks like they're discussing something. Maybe it's a new plan! But for what purpose, Jessica completely did not know. Although she was curious about what they were discussing, Jessica couldn't hear anything. This made her extremely angry. Because she was upset, Jessica hired someone to observe the actions of Anna and the others. The person Jessica hired was the same person who locked Anna in the toilet last time. "You have to understand me. They're very quiet, so I couldn't hear them directly. I can only track their movements, then report back to you!” On the other end of the line, the familiar voice spoke again, her tone looking flattered. After thinking for a while, Jessica agreed Ok so after you follow me they're total remember to report everything to me I mus
