The sky was dark, and the moonlight shone through the clouds onto a two-story bungalow. The vines on the roof seemed to have been cleaned up, but the person who did this must have given up soon. The vines extended all the way to the roof and then to the second floor.
The curtains on the second floor of the bungalow were drawn, and a faint light came through.
"I, Anna Somonas Lawrence, the lucky one who was reborn, the one who peeped through the cracks of fate, am determined to live a good life in this new world!
I will work hard to become an ordinary spectator, following the footsteps of the majority, hiding in a dark corner, indifferently watching the vicissitudes of the world … "
It was a small and cozy room with light blue wallpaper, and a thick brown quilt on a low bed.
The foot of the bed was facing the door, and there was a half-opened wooden cabinet beside the door. Clothes were densely packed inside, but they were not neatly arranged. Some of the trousers even had socks with strange patterns hidden in them …
The air was filled with the fragrance of ink.
Sitting at the desk near the window on one side of the bed, our protagonist, Miss Anna, was writing and drawing in a small pink notebook with a pen.
Anna was not well-behaved on the wooden study chair. Her little feet, which were wearing rabbit patterned stockings, were shaking crazily on the thick dark blue carpet.
A few gentle knocks sounded at the door. "Baby Anna, it's time to eat!"
"Okay, mom, coming right up!"
Anna quickly covered the fountain pen and threw the diary under the bed. She kicked away the dolls and leather school bags that were blocking her way. She almost tripped when she jumped over the toy box that was blocking her way.
One day, I will get rid of these toys that are blocking my way …
Anna opened the door.
A beautiful woman with brown curly hair was standing at the door. Her dark green eyes could not hide the tiredness and worry.
This beauty was Lena Lawrence, a pitiful, ordinary, and strong lady who deserved respect. She was also Anna's mother.
Seeing her daughter in a good mood, Lena was obviously relieved. "Anna, I don't recommend you to lock yourself in your room all day. Maybe you can go out and play for a while after dinner."
After a pause, Lena pursed her lips. "The doctor said that playing with people of your age can help you recover … It's my fault that I didn't find out earlier. I always thought you were just a little introverted …"
Earlier, Lena got Anna's psychological report from the psychiatrist. The report showed that Anna had mild depression.
The beauty Lena hugged Anna tightly. "My baby, you have to be as happy as you are now …"
"Wah!
Waaa … "Liana's urgent cries interrupted a mother's monologue. Liana panicked for a moment, but she quickly regained her confidence.
........ poor Evan........ Anna.........................
"Understood!
Mother! "
Anna quickly walked down the old stairs. Although it was carpeted, the old stairs still let out a sigh. Ten years old, 1.4 meters tall, with a mole on her left earlobe, Anna went straight to the dining table.
The owner of the storage room under the stairs, Snow, a white kitten, was obviously disturbed by the old stairs' sigh. It was dissatisfied and ran out of its nest to the dining table with its fangs and claws.
A human and a cat stared at each other. This silent battle ended with Anna poking a small meatball into Snow's bowl. Anna lost again.
In other words, Anna had never won in such a battle between a human and a cat.
Snow the cat's shining, despicable blue eyes were the eyes of a demon, even though they were very cute.
After finishing the last piece of small meatball, Anna felt a little lost.
If it was in the past, she would be able to watch TikTok at this time. But now, the television in 1988 was broadcasting strange puppet cartoons. The fire in the fireplace was crackling, and Snow the cat had already run to the fireplace to nest … Although the whole scene lacked an old man sitting on a rocking chair with a thick cotton-padded coat, it was peaceful enough, or rather, boring enough.
"Gua." A discordant sound came from beside her ear.
Anna turned her head and saw the beautiful Lena carrying her little brother, Evan, into the living room. Evan was holding a small pacifier in his hand and shaking it around, making "gua" sounds from his mouth.
Frog Prince, puff.
Anna simply laughed at her cute little brother in her heart, but then she suddenly saw that there seemed to be something shining on Evan's head.
Anna rubbed her eyes and looked carefully, but there was nothing. Evan was holding his head foolishly, as if trying to put the pacifier on his head.
"Anna, the rain outside has stopped. Do you want to go out and play for a while?"
Lena put Evan on the children's chair by the dining table, put on the apron hanging on the fridge, and cleaned up the table.
"Snow may also want to go out for a walk."
Anna's eyes locked on the cat dozing by the fireplace, recalling the miserable little meatball that was eaten by the cat.
"Okay, beautiful Lena, I'll go out for a walk with the cat."
"Beautiful Lena?"
"I said okay, Mom."
Anna caught Snow the cat and walked to the door. She took down the cat rope that was hanging on the door and tied Snow the cat neatly.
Ignoring the stupid cat's unwilling expression, Anna put on her dark brown UGG and picked up the woolen coat on the small sofa.
"I'm going out!"
"Be careful." Lena poked her head out and found that Anna's clothes were warm and comfortable. She nodded with satisfaction. "Don't go too far."
"Okay —"
The door closed. Lena had just finished washing the dishes. She took off the apron, picked up Evan, and walked to the dining table.
"Huh?
What is this? "
Of course, it was not the silly pacifier in Evan's hand.
Lena took out a small ornament from Evan's hat.
"Where did you get this?" Lena placed the ornament in the palm of her hand. "A crown?"
