Chapter 2

last update Last Updated: 2022-07-31 10:26:15

Brandon heard that Anna was talking to him, but he pretended not to hear. He don’t enjoy talking to a bookworm, it’s boring.

During a period, Anna listened to the lecture while Brandon was sleeping at the table. Seeing this, Anna guessed he must not be studying very well either.

At recess, as usual, the new student gets the attention of the others in the class, but Anna is different. No one seems to want to talk to her. Anna studies alone, plays alone, she looks very lonely.

While Anna was redecorating her Russian book, she reached for the orange pen on the table when she touched Brandon’s hand. Brandon was not asleep, he just closed his eyes. As soon as he felt someone touch him, he woke up.

“Did you just touch me?” said Brandon.

“Yeah, I’m so sorry, I’ve just..”

Anna bowed her head, wanting to apologize, but now Brandon was glaring at her, his face cold, not friendly at all.

“Please pay attention! Although I know you’re nearsighted,” said Brandon, pointing his hand over Anna’s thick glasses, “but I don’t like people touching me, nerd.”

Brandon finished warning Anna, then returned to continue to lie down on the table, leaving the new student to look at him.

Being called a ‘bookworm’, Anna was a little sad, but she got used to it because at her old school, everyone called her that. Although he was used to this nickname, no one enjoyed being called that.

Anna sighed, took the orange pen next to Brandon’s hand, and continued to complete a few small exercises in her Russian.

At the end of her first lesson, Anna returned home at four o’clock in the afternoon. She cooks rice, showers, prepares clothes and puts on some makeup to go to Five Rose bar to work part-time at 7pm. Every day, her father is going to the houses of the households to fix the plumbing, the mother is working at home, and the younger brother is taking part in extracurricular social activities.

Anna needed an hour and a half to prepare dinner, and so did today.

As Anna passed her mother, Cart Mariaway, busy working on a fur coat, Cart asked Anna about her first day at the most famous school in town.

“How was school today, Anna? Friends?” said Cart. She was stomping on the sewing machine pedal. Her right hand moved the piece of cloth onto the table.

“Hmm, It’s okay, mom. Everything is fine. Ms. Julie is quite enthusiastic and so are my classmates.” Anna held the canned tuna. She smiled, tilted her head to answer her mother.

Hearing Anna’s answer, Cart curled his lips, his eyes filled with joy. “Let’s do your best! I know you’re an excellent student.” said Cart.

Anna shrugged and left, feeling a little sad in her heart. She couldn’t tell her mother that her friends despised her. Except for her teacher Julie, Anna felt unable to get close to anyone, not even her classmate Brandon.

Although Anna asked for his name, he didn’t say it, on the contrary, she knew his name was Brandon because she heard someone call his name and from the name on the cover of the book that he wrote, Brandon Luisones, a real name. Beautiful and luxurious.

Chewing on the last piece of pasta left on her plate, Anna slung her handbag over her shoulder, the brown cowhide of the bag making her skin look whiter and sexier.

“Mom, I have to go to work. The food is covered. Daddy’s going to come back in a moment. Let’s warm it up for him!” said Anna. She put on her cowboy boots, clumped, and closed the door.

Now it’s time for the night to begin.

...

‘Cheers!’

‘Come on, baby!’

‘Oh, woah, you look so pretty. Would you like to go with me for a night?’

Even though she was a door away, Anna could still hear loud music and vulgar words coming from the men. This gave her quite a headache!

Anna is wearing mysterious black bunny clothes, has a pair of long rabbit ears on her head, is currently editing the position of the half mask, preparing to enter the main hall to work, the position where Anna is standing. Bar staff locker room.

Actually, when Anna said she was going to work in a bar, her father disagreed, saying it was too complicated for a teenager like her, and he was perfectly capable of raising her. But when her mother’s life was in danger and needed money to buy medicine, all the family savings ran out and he could only reluctantly agree.

Everything at this bar is very good, from the employee treatment policy as well as the security order and salary. It is extremely guaranteed. It’s just that Anna finds it a bit annoying to deal with perverts who always touch their thighs and want to pay her for the night.

Holding a wine tray, inside was a bottle of premium vodka. Anna professionally nodded to the Bartender, “What number is the table?” said Anna.

“Desk 15. Row B.” said Oliver, you are the one who invited Anna to work here because she and he have been neighbors since they were children.

“Okay, I’ll bring it right away.” said Anna, graceful footsteps through the crowds.

In this bar, each table has its own space called a small room, each of which can accommodate about five or six people. Currently, at the tenth and fifteenth table, there are five people in all, three men and two women.

When she saw the man sitting in the center of the couch, Anna was immediately stunned. Isn’t this Brandon?

At this time, Brandon was wearing a hoodie outside, his right hand was holding a glass to take a few sips of wine, and his left hand was slung over the shoulder of a girl with flamboyant makeup.

She was wearing a miniskirt, her slender thighs exposed in the air, her collar cut down to her chest, a sympathetic look on her face as Brandon put his arm around her shoulders.

“Brandon, would you like some grapes?” said Jane, who is the girl sitting next to Brandon. Jane’s voice is really so sweet.

“No, it’s sour!” Brandon pushed away the purple grape in Jane’s hand, a disgusted look on his face.

“Then eat something else. What kind of fruit do you like?” Jane leaned against Brandon’s chest, glancing at him tenderly.

Brandon didn’t have time to answer. Jack, sitting to the right of Jane, laughed haha. His tone faltered.

“Oh sweetie, instead of feeding him, why don’t you feed me?”

Jane laughs with Jack. Brandon smiles at Jack as well. They won’t argue over a woman serving in a bar.

“What do you want to eat, Jack? Brandon has no objection, so I’ll feed you!” Jane looked at Jack passionately, her eyes full of sweetness.

    “Just one kiss!” said Jack. Seeing Jane approaching him, Jack took her in his arms and kissed her passionately, despite Brandon watching.Actually, Brandon doesn’t pay too much attention to these matters, just a prostitute. Everyone kisses the same! Even if a stranger came to kiss Jane, Brandon wouldn’t be jealous, but he wouldn’t kiss her again, because the thought of it was just too disgusting.Anna stood outside looking at the fifteenth table, when she saw Jane in Brandon’s arms but kissing another man, she just felt disgusted. Jane is not wrong, but the coin is at fault.Sighing, Anna entered the fifteenth table. She flashed a stiff professional smile and decided to stand next to Brandon, who she knew.Putting down a bottle of vodka worth several hundred dollars, Anna carefully crouched to avoid dropping it, but this caught the attention of Brandon, an unfamiliar server.“Hey, hello.” said Brandon, he gave Anna a charming smile.Anna, on the contrary, just nodded hello. She didn’t

    “Not bad. Next time can try a little more.” Brandon heard Peter ask. His lips smiled softly. Thinking of that soft taste, Brandon felt excited again.Looking at Brandon’s infatuation, Peter chuckled, guessing that Brandon was already a little interested in the girl.“Do you know her name? Next time you can ask her directly to serve you.” Peter thought for a moment, deciding to suggest to Brandon.“Hmm, apparently not, just kissed just now, then she slapped me, now here we are. I haven’t had a chance to ask her name.” Brandon recalled, shook his head in response to Peter, with a little regret in his heart, “Next time I visit the owner, I hope she doesn’t run away.”Peter said nothing. A moment later, he reluctantly looked at Brandon and smiled. “Kiss someone you don’t even know his name. Brandon, you’re so good!”“Haha, it’s normal.” said Brandon.Three people Brandon, Jack, Peter walked for a while on the main road, waved to catch a taxi. Brandon looked at Jack, sighed, “Go to my priv

    “What’s wrong? Where did I go wrong? I know your achievements are always the first in our school. But every time in my periods, you’re sleeping.” Andrea was once caught red-handed with Brandon. She cleared her throat and let out a long breath, releasing all the frustrations in her heart. Andrea hates the most are the students who don’t follow the school rules.“So you’re not looking down on me, Brandon? If you have something to explain, blurt it!” Andrea continued.The entire class was silent while the teacher scolded Brandon, so did Anna. Looking at Brandon being scolded by the teacher, she felt happy, laughing inside haha.Brandon finished listening to the teacher. He pondered for a moment. The classroom became so quiet that the clock could be heard.Every student knows that the hottest teacher in the school is the math teacher Andrea, even the principal doesn’t dare to argue with her loudly, so even the big sister Jessica is naughty. No matter how naughty, I don’t dare to mess up i

At first glance, it’s also quite attractive!As Anna was having lunch, a group of students approached. There were three of them: one blonde, one brown and one black.

    The space was silent. The girl asked Anna to stand in a corner and start calling someone. “Hmm, she said Brandon hates her and forbids her to touch her body.” “Yes, that’s right, she’s very emphasized.” “She even asked us to ask Brandon to verify.” The girl kept describing what Anna had said. It filled the entire room with only her voice and Anna’s deep internal voice. Clack! The other girl disconnects the call, then looks at the other girls.“Okay, she told us to go.” “You, watch out!” The girl fiercely glanced at Anna, raising her voice threateningly. After they left, Anna lay on the floor of the bathroom, she began crying loudly in silent space, each sob getting louder over time, the small sound becoming clearer than usual. ‘Why do they always hit me?’This sentence appeared in Anna’s mind ever since there was no way to erase it. She was very sorry, also very sad. At this moment, the entire world seemed to turn its back on her. Anna just lay there, approximately thirty mi

    Anna attended to Vivia’s words, taken aback. Anna is a bit surprised by the actions of this girl after what she did. “Why did you decide to find me? You can do what you think, ignore that phone call and continue eating your noodles! I wonder why you did that!” After hearing this question, she thought for a while. After a long silence, Vivia spoke up. “Hey, Anna.” “I have helped people who have been bullied before. You’re the second, Anna.” “I saved another girl in the same middle school. She’s an unattractive and quiet girl.” “When I first met her, I was not impressed. Only when I saw her getting beaten up by higher grade students, and being bullied, did I want to help her.” “But when I helped her out of the bullying scene, I was returned to her place.” “It’s ridiculous, huh?!” “But it’s the truth.” Vivia showed a tart smile. Anna listened to Vivia tell. Her heart was a little sad. What a poor girl, Vivia! Anna said nothing and remained silent. She wanted to continue heari

    “I don’t want to change myself just for other people. I want to live for myself, no matter how people change, no matter how people treat me, I will still help people, in the way that I think is right!” For a moment, Anna seemed to feel a great motivation from Vivia. She never thought that, although she was just a small student, inside Vivia was such an enormous flower of freedom. The two girls sit and talk for a long time. Both feel the sympathy that the other has for them. Their interests are the opposite, but still can’t stop them from becoming closer. “You don’t know. Actually, my dream is to become a knight.” Vivia grinned, “Isn’t that very weird?” “Wow, that sounds strange.” Anna tilted her head to look at Vivia, “Why don’t you want to be a princess but a knight?” “Knights look cooler.” Vivia blushed and turned away. “Strange. I feel very comfortable talking to you.” Vivia opened a bottle of beer, “As for just now when I hesitated to come to find you, I’m sorry.” Vivia was a

    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,

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.

    “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?

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.

    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.
