Chapter 781 - Retort (4)

The ringtone of his phone woke up Ferne. He couldn't fall asleep again after he had answered a call. Then he checked the message from Christy. He was stunned at the sight of the picture because he hadn't seen Vincent like that.

Ferne noticed that today was November 17th, the anniversary of Vincent's younger sister's death.

Each year, Vincent would go to the cemetery and stay there for a long time.

Earlier this year, he had moved to Happisland City, which was far away from City Y. Emily thought that Vincent would not come back tonight. However, he opened the bedroom door and came in before Emily could fall asleep.

Their bedroom was comfortable. It was the result of Emily's design and decoration. Several green worms sent by Sydnee were hiding under the desk. On the desk were PVC figures given by Randy as a gift for congratulating them on moving into a new house. There were several pictures on the wall which Ferne sent. And the woolen slippers were made by Lynn.

There was a back cushion and a humidifier on the chair. Emily had put the pen and facemasks given by Stephanie on the left side of the bookshelf, while on the right side were several classic books sent by Eliot. Janessa had given a camera to her as a gift. Sometimes Emily would take some pictures and draw according to them.

A large Pikachu doll was leaning against the wall. There had been a time when Emily went shopping with Vincent. Emily glanced at the doll, and Vincent immediately bought it for her.

At that moment, Vincent was standing next to Pikachu. The scene was eye-catching with a color contrast of black and yellow.

Emily got off the bed and walked towards Vincent. Then she circled him by the waist and said, "I thought you won't come back tonight."

Vincent hugged her and lowered his head to kiss her head, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"Alright."

Vincent touched her head resignedly, "I'm going to take a shower."

Emily said, "I know."

Vincent looked at her slender arms behind her waist and gently pulled her into his arms," Shall we take a shower together?"

"No, I've taken it," Emily said with a smile as she leaned on his shoulder.

Vincent whispered to her. Emily immediately covered his mouth with her face bashed.

It was 2:00 in the morning. After they finished bathing, Vincent carried Emily out and put her on the bed.

Emily said in a hoarse voice, "If I can't get up on time in the morning, I will blame you."

"No problem," Vincent coaxed, "Shall we rest for a day?"

"No," Emily grunted, "I have to get up early. Don't turn down my clock."

"Alright," Vincent kissed her on the face and said, "Have a sound sleep."

Four and half an hour later, Emily still felt sleepy when she got up. They had stayed up until midnight before, but she wouldn't feel as exhausted as last night.

Emily staggered when she got off the bed. She couldn't even stand stable.

Vincent supported her to the door, "Do you need to take a day off?"

"No," Emily carried her bag and walked out with a mask.

Sometimes Emily would stagger when walking, and she had pulled her collar high. At this, Christy immediately understood the reason. However, Noah didn't get it. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?"

"Nothing. It doesn't matter," Emily lowered her head and continued walking forward.

"We will have a P.E. class today," Noah frowned and looked at her, "And we need to practice running for one hundred meters."

Emily blinked at him and said, "I can't make it. My legs hurt."

Noah was lost for words.

Christy whispered to Noah a few words. Then Noah looked a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said to Emily, "I see."

Emily explained, "My legs hurt when doing exercise."

"Be careful," Christy pointed at her neck and said, "I can see clearly."

Emily was lost for words.

"Why are you putting your collar high?" Tatiana poked at Emily's shoulder in class and asked, "Are you in your period? You didn't play basketball, nor did you run. And you didn't do the Examination Paper but slept for the self-study class."

Emily vaguely said, "You may say so."

"What? Whether or not?" Tatiana asked in surprise.

Emily felt embarrassed.

Tatiana asked, "By the way, do you remember when Mr. Noah lectured us for the first time? He had captured students in a bar."

Emily nodded.

"We all thought that Mr. Noah had been beaten by a group of people, but it was not that," Tatiana could not help but praise Noah when she stared at Noah, "Mr. Noah is a good man."

No one dared skip the P.E. class since Noah had brought several students of Class F back from the bar. Emily thought it was because Noah had scolded them. However, it turned out that Noah had saved the students from a group of plunks. Noah and the commissary in charge of sports had come to rescue the students before they were bullied by the plunks. Otherwise, the students would have hurt and kneeled to beg.

They still couldn't forget what had happened.

Noah had knocked six plunks down within a minute.

The boys in Class F admired Noah. They had decided to make friends with him because they thought he was a hero to help him. However, they didn't expect Noah to be a new teacher for their P.E. class. Thus, they had to follow Noah back to school and take the class. After attending ten more classes, the students were impressed by his integrity.

Most importantly, Noah hadn't reported the matter to the school.

After hearing the story, Emily said casually, "He is indeed a good man."

Tatiana could not bear to see Emily behave proudly and said, "Are you familiar with Mr. Noah? You just knew him a few days ago. Why did Mr. Noah ask you to collect the sporting facilities if he knows you well?"

Emily was lost for words.

She didn't know how to retort it.
