Emily pretended to stroke her chin. It seemed like she was not at a disadvantage in this deal.
âBesides, I can help you a lot of times.â
Seeing that Emily still did not agree, the woman in white continued to speak.
âItâs not impossible, but can I ask why itâs me?â
After all, no one would believe such a thing if it was told to anyone. Just like her, she really thought that she was dreaming. That wasnât right. This was her dream, but it didnât feel like it.
âI donât know either. It should be Godâs will.â
The woman in white spread her hands. Her face was full of doubt, but her eyes were a little evasive.
Emilyâs mouth was wide open in surprise. Could it be that she was the legendary chosen one? Wasnât she a little too lucky?
âAnyway, youâve already promised me, so you canât go back on your word. Weâre now bound together. Itâs not like you can just throw it away if you want to.â
The woman in white took out a ring from somewhere and handed it to Emily.
âTake this. It will automatically absorb the likes around you. The higher the likes, the thicker the tree.â
Emily took it and looked at the ring in her hand. It was very simple. There was nothing special about it. It was just a silver-colored ring.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBut I suddenly have a ring around me. Isnât this something that canât be explained?â Emily could not help but frown. When Shen Yu asked, how would she explain it?
âThen I donât know. You can think of a way to explain it yourself.â The woman in white shrugged, looking like she could not help.
Emilyâs face was bitter. She wanted to continue speaking, but saw the woman in white wave her hand. Emily suddenly began to feel dizzy, and then she fell into a deep sleep.
âMillie?â
Emily opened her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable. She saw Second Aunt standing by her bed, calling her name softly.
âSecond Aunt?â
âYouâre awake? Say, you child, why didnât you cover yourself with the quilt and fell asleep just like that? Arenât you afraid of catching a cold?â Second Aunt looked at Emily with some blame.
Emilyâs face turned red. She had no recollection of when she had fallen asleep, so how could she bother to cover herself with the blanket?
âMillie, Second Aunt saw a ring in your hand? Whatâs this ring?â
Emily nervously looked at her hand and found that it was tightly holding the ring that the sister in white had given her. She suddenly felt a little guilty.
âThis ring... This ring was given to me by Grandpa Village Chief when I returned to the village. He said that my mother... left it behind...â
Emily carefully glanced at second aunt. After seeing that Second Aunt did not suspect anything, she continued to speak.
âI fell asleep just now. Second Aunt, Iâll definitely pay attention in the future. Iâll definitely cover myself with the blanket when I sleep.â
Second Auntâs eyes were wet after hearing Emilyâs words. âThen you must take good care of it. This is the only thing your mother left for you, right?â
Emily lowered her head and instantly felt a little guilty. She didnât lie on purpose, but she really didnât know how to explain the origin of this ring.
Emily instantly felt a little disappointed.
How could her mother leave anything for her? Her father had just left, and her mother was sick. All the things that could be sold in the house had been sold, so why would she leave anything behind?
She wanted to leave something behind, but there was nothing. âSecond Aunt, do you think I have a way to keep this ring by my side?â
If she wore the ring on her short hand, no matter how she looked at it, it would be a little strange.
âThatâs simple. Leave it to Second Aunt. Weâll go downstairs to eat first. In a while, Second Aunt will take you out to buy things. Then, weâll go see if thereâs a way to let you wear this ring.â
Emily immediately smiled at Second Aunt. Then, she followed Second Aunt downstairs. When they went downstairs, she found out that it was already late. How could she have accidentally slept for so long?
âMillie, come quickly. As soon as I came back, I heard from your grandmother that you and Xiao Yu had fought quite a few games of Go today. After dinner, play two more games with Grandpa.â
When Shen Yan saw Emily appear, he was excited.
One had to know how shocked Old Man Shen was when he came back. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
âDad, that wonât do. I still want to take Millie out to buy things later. Isnât Millie about to start school? We should buy some things that Millie needs.â
