Rex sensed the heat coming from his pants and looked down. He almost cried out. He looked at Emily and asked aggrievedly, "Why is it staring at me?"
Emily quickly went over to carry Candy away, then said to Vincent, "Let's go out and eat,"
Vincent nodded. Then, he picked up something and handed it over. Emily took it in confusion. "Is this ... a mask?"
"Yes, wear it whenever you go out." Vincent touched her face, "Don't let others stare at you anymore."
"You should wear it, too." Emily also reached out to cover half of his face. Looking at his exposed pair of eyes and his high nose, she said with a smile, "I think you should wear a helmet and cover your whole face completely, only revealing a pair of eyes that are also good-looking."
Vincent felt a bit bashful.
Happisland Street welcomed such a scene. A group of people in black suits and four people were wearing sunglasses. The man and woman in the middle were wearing masks, while a man wearing a hat and mask stood on the side, holding a fat puppy in his arms.
"Vincent, why do I feel like more people are staring at us?" Emily touched the mask on his face, "Why don't we take it off?"
Vincent pressed down on her hand and waved to the guards behind him. In the blink of an eye, all the guards disappeared, leaving Rex standing on the side with the dog in his arms.
As expected, fewer people paid attention to them.
The three of them chose a restaurant. While they were eating, Rex picked up a phone call. A moment later, he whispered something to Vincent. Emily was looking out through the window. From afar, he saw a girl wearing a school uniform being pushed by a few other girls in school uniforms. The girl looked up helplessly and happened to meet Emily's gaze. Someone slapped the girl in the face. The girl quickly lowered her head and was dragged forward.
"If you help her once, the other party will retaliate even more unscrupulously. You can't protect her every day," Vincent said.
Emily turned around. "I thought you were talking to Rex. How did you see her?"
"I am looking at you." Vincent put a shrimp on her plate.
Emily smiled.
"Do you still want to go to school after seeing that?" asked Vincent.
Emily put the shrimp in her mouth and nodded.
In the end, her eyes widened. "Can't it be...?"
Vincent raised his eyebrows slightly.
Emily asked happily, "Really? I can go to school?"
"Yep." Rex showed the tablet to Emily. "At present, you have two choices. The first one is King's School, but Miss Scavo, you may not be able to keep up with your peers there. The other is Happisland School. It is not as good as the first one, but there are many students like you or students who regret and want to go back to school after they start to work, so the school has specially set up a class. But there is no hope of getting into a key university, and it can only be made into a diploma."
Rex slid down and let her take a look at the school and the photos of the students.
"What's the name of this school?" Emily asked.
"Happisland School," Rex said.
Happisland School.
The school uniform was the same as the one worn by the girl just now.
Emily thought for a moment and said, "This one it is."
Rex nodded, "There will be an exam before you enter the school. The teacher will arrange a class for you according to your grades. If you don't do well in the exam, you will directly enter the last class, Class F. There will be many examinations later on. After you finish the exam, you will move forward. Class S and Class A are the best classes. If you enter one of them, there will be a chance for you to enter Tsinghua or Peking University in the future."
"Exam?" Emily bit her chopsticks, "I don't wanna take any exam. I'm afraid I'll humiliate you if I don't do it well."
Rex was speechless.
"Then we'll decide on the second one?" He made a record on the tablet and then said, "I'll ask the school later. They just started school not long ago. They should be able to go to school tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Vincent looked at Emily. "It can be delayed for a month before going over."
Emily shook her head. She looked a bit excited. "Nope. I can go right away."
"If you run into trouble in school, you have to tell me." Vincent poured her a glass of water.
Emily asked after drinking the water, "Is it as troublesome as the girl just now?"
"Don't be afraid. You are different from her. You have me to back you up." Vincent held her hand.
Emily shook his head, "I'm not afraid."
What she did not say was that when she saw the girl being bullied by a group of girls just now, she did not think of saving her. The experiences of the past few months made her know what restraint was, and it also made her care more about the future of her and Vincent. She could not throw herself and Vincent into the eyes of the public for a stranger.
She did not dare to take the risk. If some villains found out that Vincent was still alive, if they took her as a hostage to threaten Vincent ... things could be complex. She could not drag Vincent into the danger for the sake of a stranger.
