Emily stared at the ants for a long time. She broke a piece of sugar and threw it on the ground. Not long after, a group of ants came over and worked hard to move it, one after another. The black ants formed a small line. If one was not careful, one could trample them to death. The ants were small and weak.
A person cast a shadow. Emily did not move. She only heard a man's low and pleasant voice. "What are you looking at so attentively?"
Emily pointed at the ants and said, "I think they should be a family. These two are father and mother. This is brother, and this is sister. They are uncle, aunt, and grandparents. Look at them. They are all carrying sugar on their backs. They are trying hard to take the sugar home. There are younger brothers and younger sisters at home. They are hungry and waiting for food."
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head to look at the tall man standing under the sunlight. "Just like you and my mother, you will always bring me food when you go out. You will always give the best things to me."
Vincent knew what she meant and frowned. He did not care that she considered him as an elder, like Donna.
Emily might think of Maury.
But to his surprise, Emily did not mention Maury. She just looked at the ants quietly and watched them keep busy till all the sugar was removed. The black line finally slowly disappeared.
"Do the ants know that we are watching them?" Her question was very simple and full of childishness, "Do they know that we are much larger than them? Could it be that they don't know what we are?"
She picked up a small ant and placed it in her palm to observe. "If an ant has thoughts, what would it think? Would it think where there is sugar tomorrow? Or would it think if it would rain tomorrow? Would its home be washed away? Or would it think, where is it? Why is it here? Where are its parents?"
Vincent said with a sigh, "Let's go to see your father."
Emily put down the ant. Her eyes revealed a trace of cunning.
She was a girl full of spirituality. He and her mother did not like to mention many things. She would always find a way to "inadvertently" let them detect her intentions. She could be considered an eccentric little girl. But when she grew up, her personality was not likable. She deliberately wrapped herself up and only removed her disguise in front of the people close to her. She would be tense and did not truly relax sometimes.
She had got along with Vincent for a long time these days, so she naturally revealed her real personality.
The day before yesterday, they went out to stroll around the night market and came back. On the way home, they saw someone proposing to his girlfriend on the road. Many passers-by stopped to watch. Emily stretched her neck and could not see. She turned her head and saw a little girl at the age of five or six sitting on her father's neck. The little girl was very happy.
Emily stretched out her hand and tugged at Vincent.
Vincent tilted his head, glanced at the father, frozen. "You want to ride on me?"
Donna, who was standing on the side, pulled Emily and said, "How old are you? You can't be like this..."
Emily had a wronged expression on her face. She was about to say 'forget it' when she saw Vincent slowly squat down. He patted his shoulder and said to her, "OK."
Emily happily jumped over and rode on his neck.
The Guards took out their phones and kept taking pictures. Rex also looked at them in surprise. Then, he took pictures of their backs with his phone.
In Emily's memory of that day, the red roses were very beautiful and Vincent was so tall that she could see very far. She heard the girl say to her father, "Dad, I want to be a little taller, taller than her."
The girl's father had no choice but to stand on tiptoe, but was still lower than Vincent. The little girl was so anxious that she cried. Then the girl's father quickly carried the girl away.
Emily looked enviously at them and said, "Just now, her father said that he would buy an ice cream for her."
After she finished speaking, she looked down at Vincent with a hopeful gaze.
Vincent curled his lips and turned his head to the Guards behind him. The Guard left as light as a swallow and returned with a colorful ice cream soon.
As a result, Emily rode on Vincent's neck, holding a colorful ice cream in her hand. She looked at the two people who proposing marriage, surrounded in the middle. She licked the ice cream and said, "Vincent, he is not as good-looking as you."
During these days, Emily had met many men on the road, but she had never met a man who looked more handsome than Vincent.
She would compare those men to Vincent every time.
Vincent had a look of indifference. However, Emily's voice was not small and attracted many passers-by. Everyone was congratulating the young couple in the middle. Now, after hearing her words, they immediately turned their eyes to her.
Emily sat on Vincent's neck. When everyone turned around, they first saw a girl in a pink princess dress. Her skin was snow-white, and her eyes were as beautiful as a black pearl. Her lips were stained with a bit of cream. She was so beautiful that almost everyone was shocked. It seemed that she was frightened as everyone looked at her. Her fingers involuntarily touched Vincent. Everyone's gaze moved down. When they saw Vincent's face, they subconsciously held their breath.
The man was wearing a hat. His eyes were black and sharp. His nose was tall and straight. He pursed his thin lips. The black shirt made him charming and cold. He looked at the crowd calmly.. All the women were stunned.
