Five Roses bar, 7:30 p.m.The atmosphere in this bar is bustling, people come in and out, their faces are red, and their smiling faces are happy.The dancers were in the stands. Most are female dancers, only a fifth are male dancers. This gender disparity is also because the tastes and the number of customers are not the same.However, oth males and females are attractive.The body of the female dancer is hot, the white skin and delicate lines hidden under the jet-black fabric stimulate the eyes of male guests regardless of age.

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
