Emily picked up her bag and walked to the door. But she stopped beside her classmates. These boys looked at Emily nervously. They didn't like Emily at first and thought that Emily was an ugly monster wearing a mask. But after the event related to the piano, they changed their views of Emily a lot even though many still didn't like her. But even since the piano event, no one mocked Emily to her face like those guys from Class S.
These boys didn't expect that Emily was not as weak as she looked. Instead, Emily was good at fighting. The last time these boys were surprised like this was when they saw their male teacher in a PE class. But these boys didn't tell the teacher how much they admired him. Now these boys were proud to be Emily's classmates, though they felt embarrassed in front of her.
They should feel weird and awkward to be saved by a girl. But now, when they saw Emily walk to them, they felt so excited and proud.
They were wondering what Emily would say.
They were looking forward to hearing Emily say that she would help them in the future if things like this happen again.
Then Emily said, "If our teacher knew what happened today, don't tell on me."
These boys were rendered speechless.
They looked at each other in a stun.
...
They looked at Emily leaving. Emily closed the door of the cafeteria after she walked out. These boys looked funny because of the bruises on their faces.
Marisa was also looking at Emily's leaving back. She thought that she didn't know Emily enough before. Every time she thought that she knew Emily very well, Emily would surprise her unexpectedly. But what happened today was more like a shock for Marisa.
Emily arrived home and she asked a favor from the four guards with four ice creams because she didn't want Vincent to know that she had ice cream. Then she took an ice cream and ate it while sitting on the sofa. She was looking at her phone.
Stephanie knew that Emily was on holiday now, so she asked when Emily would come to her.
It was only half a month away before the Spring Festival. Emily thought about it for a while. She wanted to take Vincent to Spencer and see what Spencer would say about Vincent's situation. If Vincent needed to stay there for further treatment, they would stay because Emily had two months for this holiday. She had so much time to accompany Vincent.
Emily told Stephanie that she would come there the day after tomorrow.
Stephanie was content with Emily's answer.
Emily closed her phone and took the last bite of the ice cream. She took the screen of her phone and made sure that there was no ice cream on her lips. Then she stood up and walked to the study.
"You are back." The moment Emily opened the door, she heard Vincent's voice. Vincent was sitting at the table, looking at the computer.
Emily walked over with a smile, only to find that Vincent was video chatting with someone.
The man on the screen was Pablo. He was staying in another country because he was basking under the sunshine, wearing sunglasses, with a coconut in his hand. He took off his sunglasses and greeted Emily.
Emily waved her hand at Pablo and said, "It has been a while since the last time we saw each other."
Pablo tanned a lot under the sun. But Emily could tell that he was in a good mood there. When Emily wanted to ask where Timothy was, Vincent said, "Well, I will see you next time."
Vincent turned off the computer at once.
Vincent pulled Emily onto his lap before she said something.
He pinched her chin and smelled it. Vincent said with a frown, "Did you have ice cream?"
Emily's eyes widened and said, "Vincent, why are you so smart? How did you know it?"
Vincent pinched her cheek and said, "I have a great sense of smell." Then he bit Emily's chin and moved his mouth onto her lips.
Emily put her arms around his neck. After the kiss, they could not help gasping. Emily asked, "How about we go to find Spencer the day after tomorrow?"
Vincent carried Emily in his arms and walked outside. He said, "Alright. You can sleep all day tomorrow."
"Why would I sleep all day?" Emily asked in confusion.
When Vincent put her on the bed, she knew what he meant.
On the day they set off for Hump Village, Emily got up early to put on her makeup. She was trying to cover the hickey on her neck. That was the mark left by Vincent the night before.
The foundation Emily used was from Rex.
Rex bought many kinds of foundations for the scar on his face. After he used the ointment to reduce scars, the scar was almost gone. So, Rex gave all of his foundation to Emily.
Rex bought many nutrition supplements for the elderly and then carried Candy into the car.
Emily wanted to stay there several days longer, so she prepared a lot of clothes and toiletries for everyone. They set off in the morning and arrived at Hump Village at noon.
Stephanie had been waiting at the door for a while. When she saw Emily's car, she ran over and said, "Hey, you are here."
Emily hugged Stephanie after she went out of the car. They had so much to talk about. When they walked to the door, Emily thought of Vincent. Vincent was standing beside the car. It was at noon now. The sunshine lit up Vincent's body, so he looked warm. Vincent looked around and then walked to Emily.
Emily asked, "What's wrong?"
Vincent held her hand and walked inside. He said, "Nothing."
The guards were heading in different directions to find Harold. They noticed that Spencer was alone in the room and Harold was gone.
Spencer walked out of his room. He patted Vincent's shoulder and smiled at him and Emily. Spencer said, "You two look great."
Rex took out everything they brought from the trunk. Spence saw these things and said, "I am happy when you are here. But I don't need these things you brought to me."
Stephanie put her hand on Spencer's shoulder and said, "It is fine. Grandpa, let's go inside first. You should check Vincent's situation."
Emily held Vincent's hand tightly and said, "I will go inside with you."
Vincent stroked her hair gently and said, "You don't have to.. Just wait for me outside."
