Ben and Andre see the child and look at each other.
Andre holds out his hand to the child and says, "Come up and let's watch the fireworks together."
Ben also holds out his hand. "We can watch fireworks together. Although Joey is usually silly, she still knows the police are useful at the critical moment."
Joey gives a supercilious look to Ben, Who said they are older enough that they shouldn't ask for help from the police.
Looking at their eager invitation, the child takes another look at Joey and then at himself. The difference between them was really big, so he ran away without looking back.
The figure of the child was very small and could not be found in the crowd for a while.
Joey feels confused, however, Ben is complaining about this.
"The child must have been scared away by Joey. What a pity."
Joey almost comes forward to tear Ben's mouth, "What did you say? Who doesn't praise me for my loveliness and beauty when they met me? You must be jealous of me by saying so."
Seeing Joey’s chin raised high, Ben is not to be outdone, "do I need to envy you? How many girls, younger or older, want to touch my face when they met me?"
Andre holds the railing and looks at the calm lake. Because it is dark now, the lake is also dark.
He unconsciously recalls the dirty child, who is so dirty that he can not even see clearly, but his eyes are very bright and energetic. But why he runs away?
Miya and Alex come back after a while. Seeing the three impatient children who has already waited for a long time, Miya half crouches down and asks, "How did you push through the crowds?"
Joey pouts, "Mommy is stupid. Can’t we say excuse me?"
Miya's face becomes green, and the palm that should have touched Joey suddenly turns into a fist. She takes a little strength and presses her little head. "Mommy didn't hear what you said just now, Can you say it again?"
Joey begs for mercy. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I am wrong."
"What you're doing wrong?"
Joey runs over to hold Alex's thigh and cries, "Dad, Mommy bullied me."
Ben and Andre stand aside and ignore Joey’s play. She deserves it when steps on Miya’s minefield at this time, and no one can save her now.
"Joey, tell me, how did I bully you?" Miya is clearly smiling, but she looks very horrible.
Joey feels that her father is unreliable, so she runs behind Ben and Andre and shakes her head straight. "Mommy is a fairy, how can she bully me? I must have made a mistake."
Alex takes Miya's waist and says, "The fireworks have already started. Let's enjoy it."
When he arrived, Alex schemed a scene of crowded, and therefore he can rightfully hold Miya in such a crowded state.
Because he feels very comfortable in the world of themselves, and his nose is full of Miya's breath, which makes him greedy. Thinking that there are still three children in the stage, he tries to slow his pace to let the road under his feet passes slower.
At the end of the fireworks show, the sky flashes a few words as expected.
"Mommy, I'm sorry."
The sky flashes a sentence and the children say in unison.
"Mommy, we love you."
