Emily saw a net bar at the corner after walking four hundred meters from the school entrance. A group of hooligans was sitting on motorcycles outside of the bar. Marley, whom she met in the bathroom that day, was also there. She was wearing heavy makeup and chatting with a group of hooligans with colorful hair and dirty words. They probably felt that they were awesome, stepping on the electric scooter as if the gold throne under their feet. They waved their arms as if they were heroic. It was acceptable if one ignored their fake tattoos on the exposed arms.
Marisa found a bench somewhere and said to Emily, "Sit down."
Emily sat down.
"You are calm. Is there anything you want to know?" Marisa took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Didn't you tell me to watch the show? I've already seen the main character."
She was skilled at smoking and put a piece of gum into her mouth after finishing a cigarette. "The play is about to start."
Another group of hooligans with yellow hair and tattoos, wearing thin shirts on such a cold day came over. It was unknown where they had just gone. Their pants were covered in mud. They didn't say much to Marley's group before walking to an alley on the side of the net bar.
"Let's go to take a look," Marisa said.
Emily heard the fighting when she walked over, carrying her bag. Marley's group lost the fighting and were all pressed to the ground in just a few minutes. The hooligan of the winning group even pulled Marley in his arms to kiss.
"Let me go." Marley struggled but was slapped to the ground by the hooligan. The rest pulled her up and pressed her against the wall.
They tore her clothes.
It was the first time Emily had seen such a scene, with her eyes fixed on them.
"She wanted to throw your Examination papers last time, so you can record a video to prevent her bullying you next time," Marisa said indifferently.
"You called the hooligans?" Emily looked at Marisa with her head tilted.
"I don't want to do this." Marisa was not angry although she was misunderstood. "I guess she would be suffered a little." She was startled when Emily turned on the siren on her phone and played it with a loud volume.
When the group of hooligans heard the siren, they ran away quickly.
Marley was left alone in the corner of the wall after the thugs ran away. Her broken dress and bag were on the ground. The bag was opened, with cosmetics and lipstick scattered all over the ground.
Marley was startled and subconsciously hurriedly put on her clothes disorderly when she heard someone talking. When she went out of the alley, she only saw the backs of Marisa and another girl.
The girl was wearing a down jacket inside of her school uniform and a pair of white shoes, with two slender legs.
Was it ... Emily?
"I thought you would take the opportunity to record it, but you saved her. Aren't you angry that she wanted to throw your examination papers into the toilet before?" Marisa chewed on her gum.
"They are apples and oranges." Emily looked at the road ahead and said, "It is more harmful to her than losing the examination papers."
It was dark. The street lights had already been lit up. They stood at the intersection with busy traffic, looking at the group of students who were talking and laughing at the school gate.
"Even if I don't help, you will do it. Otherwise, you would not be here." Emily turned to look at her.
"You're interesting. My name is Marisa," Marisa said, chewing on her gum.
She reached out her hand.
"I'm Emily." Emily shook hands with her.
When Emily arrived home, Christy and the others had already been busy in the kitchen for a while.
"You are late." Christy handed over the work to Emily. "It's time for dinner. I've washed these fruits for you and put the bread and butter here. You can make the rest yourself."
"Thank you." Emily changed her shoes, put down his schoolbag, and put on her scarf to prepare her first handmade cake.
Vincent didn't like desserts, but he would eat the ones Emily gave to him, even if they were cloying.
Emily planned to give Vincent a painting as a birthday gift this time, but she felt that it was better to make a cake that would attract Vincent to like dessert.
"Why do you have to go through so much trouble?" Christy whispered, "It's fine without a gift if you perform well tonight."
Emily was speechless.
"Trevor!" Emily shouted, "Take her away quickly!"
Trevor was studying new cuisine. He looked up with a simple and blank expression when he heard it.
Christy turned around and touched his face. "It's fine. You can continue." After that, she patted a box with a bow tie on the counter and said to Emily, "It is your gift. Open it before you go to bed tonight."
Emily's eyelids twitched. "I won't accept it."
"It's fine. Anyway, I send it to Vincent." Christy blinked and then walked towards Trevor, who was studying new cuisines with a smile.
"Why are you laughing?" Trevor asked when he saw that she was smiling happily.
Christy leaned on his back and whispered to him.
Trevor kissed Christy when he saw that no one was looking at them.
Noah was cooking according to the recipe. The guards were also helping him to wash the pot, boil the hot oil, prepare the side dishes and seasoning, mix cold dishes, clean up the garbage, and take out the meat from the fridge to defrost.
They looked straight ahead and took out their phones to complain in their group.
"Guard 1: I should be under the table."
"Guard 2: We shouldn't be here."
"Guard 3: How sweet you are..."
"Guard 4: Unable to sing, next."
Guards were speechless.
Rolando came over today to meet Vincent in a remote place. Vincent returned home with the birthday gift from him.
Randy, Jaquan, and others had already arrived and crowded in the kitchen to help. Ferne held the red wine and kept asking for Noah's opinion. "Do you want to put wine in it?"
"Get out," Noah said.
"Okay." Ferne went out for a while, returned with the wine, and asked again, "How about this one?"
Noah raised the cleaver and said, "Get out."
Ferne quickly got out with the wine and saw Vincent at the door.
"Vincent! You are back!" Ferne rushed towards him. "Happy birthday! I brought you my collection for many years! Of course, there are other gifts. Are you surprised?"
