Hearing Brandon’s question, Anna replied.“This is one of my favorite places. Whenever something sad happens, I usually come here to order a bowl of Mie Goreng noodles. The taste of this dish is really great. It can make me temporarily forget those unpleasant things.”“Where you sit is where I sat. I like the private space. The feeling is very comfortable and all my body is completely relaxed.”Brandon chuckled. He didn’t imagine the time when Bunny would be so dull. He still remember the first day we met. She slapped him hard. Brandon thought that Anna was a rather hot-tempered person.“So, why are you eating pasta today?” Brandon remembered that Anna didn't call Mie Goreng, so he asked again.Anna laughed. She tapped three times on the partition.“Going with you today, I wanted to change it up a bit. It’s boring to eat one dish all the time!”Brandon was silent for a moment, and he suddenly felt a small vibration in his heart.“Is there a change to the food you ordered here, Bunny?”
The two became silent, and when they finished eating, Anna asked Brandon softly.“You came to me today because you had something to say, didn’t you, Brandon? If so, please tell me. I’m listening!”Brandon was silent for a moment, then Anna heard his voice, low and soft, but with a hint of ambiguity that she couldn’t articulate.“I would like to ask you something.”“For example, when someone helps you, it is natural for you to return the favor, right?”“Repay?” Anna asked again. She understood what Brandon was talking about.“Right. It’s gratitude. I would like to talk to you about giving back.” Brandon did not know that Anna was surprised. He thought he spoke too quietly for her to hear.“Is it normal to repay other people for their help, right, Bunny?”Anna thought that this was not wrong. When someone helps her, she also wants to repay them. So, why did she feel angry at Brandon when he said these words to her?“Erm… it’s normal.” Anna thought for a moment, deciding to listen to Bra
“In general,” Brandon hesitated, “Did I do it wrong? I think I misbehaved with her.”“But do you know where's you wrong, Brandon?” Anna asked him.“Perhaps I should speak more softly?” Brandon guessed.“Hmm, I think you probably don’t need to directly say ‘I will repay’ to her!”Anna paused, seemingly feeling inadequate, adding, “You just need to buy her food or help her back, so that’s fine. She will define your actions. You don’t have to define yourself! Girls are smart too!”Then Anna smiled slightly, feeling that Brandon still hadn’t quite grasped the point. “Do you finally know why she’s mad at you?”“Why?” Brandon asked again, still wondering about this.“I guess the girl in the story you told is someone with pretty high self-esteem. So when you say ‘payback’ directly like that, it makes her think you think she’s a gold-digger.”“Gold-digger?” Brandon repeated. He found his daughter’s thoughts difficult to understand.“Yes, that is it.” Anna replied, “So next time be a little mo
“The other day, you asked me if I could be your friend. That’s the question!”“Oh.” Anna nodded. She remembered, so Brandon was referring to that question.Seeing that Anna had remembered, Brandon continued, “I can be your friend.”Really???Anna looked at Brandon in surprise. She didn’t understand why he was doing this.“But I thought you answered that day?!” Anna questioned Brandon again.“No,” Brandon paused for a moment, “That statement of mine meant I was thinking. Now is the actual answer.”Anna narrowed her eyes at Brandon. “But so what? Has anything changed, young master?”Brandon scratched his head, looking seriously at Anna. Although he didn’t look like he was joking, Anna could clearly see Brandon’s ears turning red.He stammered, embarrassed.“I mean, we’re friends now.”Anna nodded and continued to stare at him. She wanted to hear what Brandon would say next.“On the occasion of our becoming friends, I-I think…” Brandon felt Anna’s gaze. He said softly, “I’d like to take
Hearing Jimmy speak, Anna’s eyes widened at him, her hands cupping her cheeks. “R-really?”Jimmy nodded emphatically, then he added a serious look on his face, “Yes, and you’ve got a big smile on your face.”Anna’s cheeks were red. She didn’t expect her smile to be so happy from the outside.“Hmm, you’re dating a handsome guy, aren’t you, Anna?” Seeing Anna shyly, Jimmy started teasing her. Normally, his older sister have a mature appearance, but seeing her different appearance today, he didn’t want to pass up such a wonderful opportunity.“Hurry up and study, you’re too busy!” Anna waved her hand at Jimmy, she pretended to be stern looking at him. But other than feeling lovely, Jimmy has no other words to describe Anna’s current face.“Okay, I’ll go to my room then.” Jimmy turned and left the living room. He also couldn’t play too much. When Anna got angry, it was difficult to calm down. “Remember to rest early, Anna!”…Anna hung her backpack on the hook located next to the desk dra
Sometimes Anna thinks, ‘Is this the benefit of being Brandon’s friend? Get his enthusiastic help?’Peter watched Brandon’s car drift away, wonderingly at Brandon, “Since when have you been so good?”Brandon brushed past Peter. He rode his pink bicycle out of the school gates, leaving Peter with only a brief sentence.“I am also good to you. No need to compare!”‘Better friends with her than I am,’ Peter thought wistfully.Watching Brandon and Peter’s backs go away, a jealous gaze turned to the direction Brandon’s car had left, or more specifically, the direction Anna had gone.“You just wait there for me, Anna! I will not leave you alone!!!”...Like the wind, time passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Anna attended Medrano High School for over two months. After a short time, she got used to the way of life in this school, and began to muster up the courage to get to know everyone in the class.Anna became closer to Brandon after the initial hard time. Although the two still ar
“Wow, I didn’t expect Anna to be petite, but she took part in the 1000m run.” Vivia laughs, “Are you going to enter another category this time? Or is it still the same?”Anna glanced at the content of the competition written on the paper. Indeed, there were many sports. Even horseback riding and archery also made Anna more aware of the wealth of this school.“Hmm, I don’t know yet. Let give me more time to think about it.” The previous times, she had to participate because Anna was the class president, and everyone didn’t like participating in activities like this, so she had to participate.This time, it was different. The class rep wasn’t her, so Anna wasn’t too bothered about it.“What about you, Vivia? Which category do you intend to take part in?” Anna looked at Vivia’s bright eyes at the registration form for the sports festival. Vivia enjoys such sports activities.“Hehe,” Vivia looked at Anna then smiled mysteriously, “Let me tell you. Last year, I won first place in the eques
Jessica smiled she turned to look at Alex, “Oh Alex, I want to have the new student in our class take part in the upcoming sports activity for her to expand her knowledge about this school. Let me see, let her do the 1000m race and do the relay as before.”“I wonder if you agree, Anna?” After informing Alex as class president, Jessica asked Anna’s opinion.Vivia’s family is from poor to rich, so Vivia just needs to look at this action of Jessica, she knows Jessica is secretly looking down on Anna. The fact that Jessica does not call Anna by name but only calls Anna a ‘new student’ proves that Jessica is trying to separate Anna and everyone in the class.Because people always feel wary of new things, people from other places, right?!“You must not be talk too much!” Vivia angrily stood up. She pointed at Jessica’s face, voice low.Jessica laughed, it seemed that the angrier Vivia was, the happier she was.“What’s wrong, Vivia? I have done nothing to Anna yet, have I?”“Everyone also lo
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
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.MAnna 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 officially start t
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,
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 communication, such
“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?
“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. Anna is the only one who comes home late from work, leading to her rest time being later than everyone else.Today is also a late day for Anna.It is past eleven-thirty in the evening. Almost no one walking like Anna could be found on the road. She wandered the streets, following the path back home.Oh?!Anna looked
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
