Donna felt something flowing in her mouth. A faint scent wafted at the tip of her nose, and she felt herself leaning on a big shoulder that gave her a warm and peaceful feeling.
Donna slowly opened her eyes, only to see a faint figure before her. Bruce held the fragrant soup in his hand, gently putting it into Donna's mouth with a spoon.
"Are you awake? Eat this soup. Look, I added eight medicinal herb mixtures and cooked it for a few hours before it was ready."
A familiar voice. Donna's retinas began to clear slowly, and her face turned red the next moment. The person in front of her was none other than her deskmate, Bruce Waylen. Donna was leaning on Bruce's arm while being fed soup.
"Why is your face red again? Please don't get a fever again!" Bruce frowned and touched Donna's forehead.
Donna was dumbfounded. Only at this moment did Donna notice the strange surroundings. It was dark outside, and there was the sound of heavy rain.
"Where a
"Where's Donna?" Someone rushed in."Wait a minute, who are you?" Bruce hurriedly reached out and pulled the woman who rushed into his residence.It's cold. A cold wave hit him.Bruce looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. He felt a piercing chill from this woman.It was not the usual cold that one feels when wet in the rain, but the cold that one feels when touching ice or snow in winter. Bruce had medical skills, so he knew this very well."Where's Donna?" The woman struggled to break the grip of Bruce's hand. But how could a woman break away from Bruce, who had a Soldier profile?Realising he couldn't let her go, the woman turned around and shouted at Bruce, "Let go of me!"Bruce was surprised when he saw the woman. The woman's skin was white as snow and crystal clear. Her long and beautiful black hair was slightly wet, flowing over her shoulders.The woman was wearing a black uniform jacket with a white shirt underneath. Due to the rain, the white shirt was soaked and lo
It is an internal matter of Donna's family. Bruce shouldn't have interfered. But, since there was a task from the system, Bruce couldn't help but interfere with her problems. If Bruce wanted Donna to be able to participate in the competition with peace of mind, his family problems had to be solved first."Okay, so, Emma..." Standing by the corridor window, Bruce looked at Emma, who was indifferent."Call me Miss Agnesia." Emma looked at Bruce contemptuously because what happened just now made Emma feel disgusted with the man."Hmm. Well, then, I'll call you Miss Agnesia. So, I am Donna's classmate. We sit at the same table. I want to talk to you about your sister."As soon as Bruce finished speaking, Emma turned around and walked away towards the room."I'm sorry. I have nothing to talk to you about, my sister. I'm warning you, don't come near my sister again!""If you come in now, I'll tell Donna about your serious illness, Miss Agnesia. I
When Bruce and Emma returned to the house, Donna was lying on the bed and staring at the two."Well, I've already convinced your brother. As long as you win first place in the competition next month, you can continue doing what you like with peace of mind," Bruce said with a smile.Donna looked at her brother with an incredulous look. Donna knew very well about her sister's character. The things Emma had decided would not change easily, nor would she go back on her word. Their parents even had to seek advice from her sister regarding making decisions at home."But, I want to add one condition. Donna's exam results last month were inferior. This time, Donna must rank in the parallel top ten, or the deal is cancelled." Emma insisted with a grim face.Donna's expression changed, and she was about to reply to her brother's words but was stopped by Bruce."Agreed. This deal is irreversible. You are Donna's older sister, so I think you should be the one
SWOOSH!The following day, it was still raining heavily outside. Emma woke up to a strange noise and suddenly opened her eyes."Damn it. How can I sleep so soundly in a strange man's house? If that man has a grudge against her, my sister and I will both suffer."Emma looked at the chair Bruce was sitting on last night, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes. Bruce's chair was empty.Meanwhile, Donna was still lying silently on the bed with a faint smile. Emma looked in the direction the sound was coming from. It was coming from the kitchen.SNIF!Emma's stomach rumbled, and her face suddenly turned red.As a professional woman, Emma highly valued etiquette, and it was embarrassing for her stomach to make such sounds. But eventually, the aroma that gradually filled the air made her feel hungry.Emma removed the blanket from her body and placed it on the chair. She tiptoed towards the kitchen.In the kitchen, Emma sa
"Bruce did get first place in the exam last month," Donna said while eating."I didn't expect that boy to get first place in the exam." Emma could not believe it. That woman also graduated from the same school. So, Emma knew very well what image the first place would have.But their expressions immediately stiffened when the two brothers looked at each other. Then, they quietly lowered their heads and continued eating.Half a minute later, Bruce came out of the bathroom. This time, he did not sit at the dining table. Bruce took a few slices of bread on the table, put a few dishes on his plate, and moved his chair a few metres away from the Agnesia sisters."I can't even eat breakfast in peace. I can't mess with you guys, so I guess I'll stay away." Bruce ate his bread.After Emma finished her soup, she refilled her bowl with soup from the pot next to her."I didn't expect your cooking to be this good."Usually, Emma's meal portions ar
While Donna was talking to Zara, Bruce received the good news that their school was urging the maths teachers to go home early. After the bell rang, Bruce and Donna returned to class. For some unknown reason, many people looked strange at Bruce, especially the boys. They looked at him with a look of anger and jealousy in their eyes. "I haven't come to school for two days. What have you done to make them so angry?" Donna also felt the stares that people gave Bruce. Donna looked at Bruce in surprise. Bruce also needed clarification. He shook his head and said, "How could I do something to make them angry? When I got the news that you were missing yesterday afternoon, I went straight to look for you." "By the way, how did you know I was at a karaoke bar?" Donna thought of a question. Bruce smiled and said mysteriously, "I won't tell you." "All right then." Donna rolled her eyes at Bruce and walked into the classroom. But when Donna saw Claudia sitting behind her seat, her gaze chang
Outside the classroom door, Miley timidly stood outside the door. She looked carefully into the classroom, and her eyes finally fell on Bruce. Miley wanted to open her mouth and scream, but she didn't do it.Bruce was a smart guy, and he suddenly remembered that Miley's textbooks were in his drawer. Miley must have come here to ask him to return her textbooks."Look, he's here." Claudia looked at Bruce with disgust. Bruce had no intention of explaining.Bruce knew that to clear his name, and he had to let Miley prove her innocence. Bruce took the books out of his drawer and ran outside."Um... my book." Miley didn't dare to look at Bruce, so she just stared at the book in Bruce's hand. There was a faint blush on her face."I'll return your book. But about the stuff on the Internet, I hope you..." Bruce handed her the book in his hand, but Miley immediately took the book and was about to turn around, leaving without saying a word."Miley, don't go. I'm waiting for you to prove my innoc
"So you're saying that by me getting first place in this exam, Miley loses her scholarship for this semester?" Bruce said with a wry smile.Donna nodded and said, "If you really didn't do anything to hurt her, maybe this is the reason.""Are you sure?" Claudia was still a little hesitant.Bruce thought hard. For a college student with a family lacking economic means, $15,000 a year was a large sum. Miley lost this considerable income because she got first place in the exam once.Most importantly, Bruce knew that he did not get first place because of his good academic performance but because he was lucky enough to get a System.Bruce always believed that luck was part of his strength. But when he thinks of how Miley looked at him when they first met, he feels guilty."Look, there's your picture on the forum again." Donna took her mobile phone and handed it to Bruce.Bruce saw another post underneath the previous one about him being an
