“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 in this math class.

“I’ m so sorry, teacher.” Brandon spoke, but there was no trace of remorse on his face. His face was cold and emotionless.

“Look, your mouth says sorry, but are you sincere at all?” Andrea looked at Brandon, indignantly annoyed.

“Okay, at the end of the time, go to the teacher’s room to find me.” Andrea looked at her watch, decided to leave it to Brandon to deal with later. Delaying the other students’ learning is not okay, can’t affect others because of one person. “Sit down.”

Brandon listened to Andrea and sat down, looking stiffly at Anna, his eyes burning with fierce anger.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” said Brandon.

Anna then turned her head to Brandon and asked softly, “Did you call me?”

Brandon was furious. He grinned, trying to keep his voice low.

“I, say, that, you, mean, to, do, that?”

“No, no, I haven’t on purpose!” Anna waved her hand, looking at Brandon innocently.

“It’s you, it’s you on purpose!!!” Brandon picked up the pen from the table and tossed it over to Anna. “Damn it.”

At this time, only Anna dodged to the side. The pen rattled to the ground. Anna’s expression was rather cold.

“Why are you dodging, Anna?” Brandon glared at Anna.

Anna sighed, her face tired. “Did you warn me that you didn’t like me touching you, huh?”

Brandon heard Anna speak. He looked at her fiercely, then turned his head towards the window like usual.

This little bookworm, sooner or later, I’ll let her know what stuff I’m made of!

At the end of class, Anna left the classroom to prepare to go home, but when she looked at Brandon with a bored face as she went to the teacher’s room, she suddenly felt extremely happy. Her kiss yesterday seemed to have paid off somewhat.

...

Jessica threw her clothes on the bed, looked annoyed in the mirror. In her mind, Anna and Brandon were sitting happily talking in the back of the class today.

This was the first time she had seen someone as cold as Brandon have an unfamiliar face from a woman. Brandon is quite quiet, and shows his emotions, so when she saw him angry at Anna, glanced at Anna, Jessica felt furious.

Brandon had never looked at Jessica and never was angry with her.

‘Or should I scare Anna so she’s far from Brandon?’ Jessica thought.

Jessica remembers the successful warnings when other girls tried to approach Brandon in the past. Of course, Brandon also knew about this, but he acted like he saw nothing, regardless of Jessica’s threats..

Also, because Brandon ignores Jessica’s actions, she thinks that Brandon also likes her and supports her behavior.

“New student called Anna, toilet, after school tomorrow.” Jessica wrote a brief message to someone, looking at the content. She must have intended to do something with Anna.

Ting tong, ting tong.

The school bell had just begun, and the students below returned to their seats to wait for the teacher to enter the class.

Anna sat down. She looked at Brandon, wondering how he was scolded by teacher Andrea yesterday?

Andrea is known for being a hot-tempered person in school, so she won’t give up on Brandon.

But when Anna looked over at Brandon sleeping on the table, she had no idea what had happened to Brandon. His face didn’t show any irritation or anger, just cold like the days she first moved in.

“Hmm, did Miss Andrea keep you long yesterday?” said Anna.

Brandon remained in the same position, even breathing.

“Brandon?” said Anna again.

In response to Anna was still silence.

After a long moment, Brandon turned his head to Anna, his eyes deep in hers.

“Guess what?” said Brandon.

“Hmm, too long?” Anna thought for a moment, biting the tip of her ballpoint pen, and frowned at Brandon.

Brandon smirked. His sudden smile made Anna stiffen. Auw, even though he knew he was handsome when he was cold, he didn’t expect his smile to be so warm!

“I didn’t go to the staff room.” Brandon recounted, his face sober.

“Aren’t you coming?” Anna exclaimed in surprise, “If you didn’t, Miss Andrea will be furious!”

“Haha, who cares what she thinks?” Brandon put his head down on his elbow, smiling.

“And you, bookworm! Next time you troll me again, don’t let me leave you alone.” Brandon recalled Anna’s behavior yesterday. He looked at her. Because he was too gentle, the new students could not see his personality.

Anna listened to Brandon’s words, looked at him, she nodded, “Okay, but you told me not to touch you?!”

Brandon glared at her. “Except for cases like yesterday, got it?”

“Ok, ok!” Anna nodded quickly.

Just like that, the class passed in peace. At lunchtime, Brandon went up to the rooftop with his friends, Anna stayed in class and opened the box of food brought from home.

Anna’s family is not rich, so she always tries to save as much as possible. Even the food, other students usually buy breakfast or lunch in the cafeteria, but Anna will bring it herself.

    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.

    “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.
