After dinner.
Bruce and Annie snuggled up to watch a movie.
Bruce’s hands were already naughty at this moment. They were constantly roaming around Annie’s body.
However, Annie didn’t refuse. She looked shy and moaned softly.
“We’re still watching the movie. Don’t touch me like that…”
Hearing Annie’s soft mumble made Bruce smile slightly.
He said jokingly, “You’re already here, yet you’re still saying such things…”
“But, not today.” Annie said suddenly.
‘Huh?’
Bruce was stunned.
‘Not today?’
‘Could it be…’
“I’m on my period.”
Before Annie could finish her sentence, Bruce had already made up his mind.
‘Sure enough, it was because of this matter.’
But!
Since it had come to this point.
He still had to ‘bully’ her a little.
This went on for two to three hours, Annie only felt like her lips were swollen, and then she fell asleep in Bruce’s arms.
Bruce did not fall asleep immediately.
He was waiting for the calculation.
The time was now 11 p.m. After an hour, the system would start the payment.
This is definitely a moment to look forward to.
12 a.m. had arrived.
“Ding! Calculating remaining free time.”
“Ding! It is detected that the host has not left the house. The free time is for 2 hours. The system rewards the host with a skill — Breath-holding Mobility.”
‘Breath-holding Mobility?’
Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately checked the acquired skill.
Breath-holding Mobility: allows the host to move freely without breathing for 10 minutes.
Shocking!
Bruce was completely shocked.
Do you know what is the biggest advantage of this skill?
It is when a crisis arises, there is a better way to deal with it.
Think about it. If you suddenly fall into the sea, you can swim continuously in the water. You don’t need to breathe, so there will be better control of the rhythm.
In fact, many people can hold their breath and move, but this type of free activity and mobility are two different concepts.
Overall, it is a very useful skill, although there is uncertainty on where to use it.
The next day.
When Bruce woke up, it was already noon.
Because there was a class in school, Annie had already gone back in the morning.
“I have to say, this feeling is really great!”
“I don’t have to go out. I can sleep as long as I want…”
At this moment, Bruce’s phone suddenly rang.
Who could be looking for him today?
He took a look at the phone, it was from the community center.
Could it be that he hadn’t pay off some fees yet?
Without thinking too much, Bruce immediately picked up the phone.
“Hello, is this Mr. Bruce?”
“Yes, is there an issue?”
“Yes, I’m calling from the community center. We will be hosting a party in the next few days. Firstly, we will be celebrating the fifth anniversary of the community center. Secondly, we found out that your birthday is coming up soon. There are also a few people whose birthdays are around this period, so we would like to hold a group birthday party for all of you.”
On the other end of the phone, the community worker spoke in a very good manner, just listening to it made people look forward to it.
There is such a good thing?!
It’s a party, we could swim, we could celebrate birthdays.
It sounded like a lot of effort had been put into this party. It would definitely be a super interesting party.
At least it wouldn’t be too shabby to the level of a party with only a small cake.
But!
Bruce refused!
No matter how good a social event was, it couldn’t compare to the rewards given by the system.
“Sorry, I’m not interested. Goodbye.”
Bruce immediately hung up the phone as he spoke.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming F-rank of the house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”
At the same time, on the other end of the phone, the community worker was stunned.
He did not think too much about it. He shook his head at another worker and said, “Unfortunately, Mr. Bruce is not interested. Perhaps in his eyes, the parties held in the community are by old people.”
He shook his head, his face was filled with regret.
After all, the theme for this time was actually a group birthday celebration, which meant that Bruce was one of the main characters. It was unexpected that he would be unwilling to participate.
Another staff member took the list of community members and looked at it.
On it was simple personal information of Bruce.
“Mr. Bruce goes out at 8 o’clock in the morning and gets home at 9 o’clock in the evening every day. He doesn’t go out in between, and most of his meals are pizza and hamburgers. He rarely goes out to gatherings with his friends. He should be a loner…”
As she spoke, she also shook her head and said, “What is the job of the community center?! Isn’t it to induce the relationship and care among the community members? Mr. Bruce must be in a lot of pain right now. He definitely wants to participate, but he’s also a little shy. Being in such a situation, we must help him properly!”
After saying that, the other community workers all looked at the person who was talking.
She was the organizer of the community in a sense.
She was also a positive person who always warm others.
Therefore, many people called her Aurora. She was 25 years old, mixed blood, and looked very cute.
She was wearing a pair of black slacks, a blouse and her golden hair tied up in a bun on top of her head. Overall, she looked very energetic.
After realizing that the people from the other communities were looking at her suspiciously, Aurora said again, “Think about it. People who don’t go out every day will gradually feel depressed…”
At that moment, Bruce was whistling, bathing, bubble bathing, and playing with a water gun!
“He must have not basked in the sun or enjoyed life for a long time. He will feel that his life is a mess…” Aurora continued to say.
Bruce, on the other hand, was drinking a cold coke naked. He turned on the music and danced to the rhythm in front of the sunny window.
Aurora’s expression became sad. “His room must have been uncleaned for a long time. It’s full of moldy pizza, hamburger wrappers, and beer bottles.”
“Hahaha! This red wine is really delicious…” Bruce took out the red wine that he had been reluctant to drink, slowly savoring it.
At this point, Aurora’s eyes were filled with beams, as if she was very sad. She said excitedly, “Isn’t our community meant to help people like this?! Our appearance here makes it much more meaningful!”
As Aurora became more and more intense, the sunlight from outside the window shone in and all of it fell on Aurora’s body, instantly making her entire person shine.
With a blink of an eye, she looked like a goddess that had walked out of the light, dazzling yet strangely warm!
A few minutes later, Aurora finished speaking, and all the community workers were also affected by Aurora’s emotions.
“Aurora is right, we must help Bruce!”
“So he has always been in so much pain. When I was on the phone just now, I spoke so carelessly. I’m going to call him again.”
“Aurora, you’re amazing! With you in our community, things will really get better and better”
“Mr. Bruce will definitely walk out of this haze, as long as we strive together!”
