That night Gu Mengmeng did not return home, only accompanying her drunk friend to stay in the hotel, helping her to take care of her young son.
However, the next day, Gu Mengmeng was awakened by the police.
A gush of cold wind entered from the opened window, pricking at her skin. That opened window, was the exit that the sister that took her child to escape from the despair of the world.
Gu Mengmeng sighed, not knowing why she suddenly remembered that memory, only feeling slightly upset, looking up at Elvis, âThank you, for acknowledging everything Iâve done. Thank you for comforting me.â
Elvis was sharp enough to sense that Gu Mengmeng was feeling weird, pecking her lips gently, asking, âWhy? What are you thinking about?â
Gu Mengmeng shook her head, smiling, âItâs probably the legendary postpartum depression.â
Elvis looked at Lea as he shook his head, showing that he had not heard the term before, not knowing what to do either.
Gu Mengmeng slapped her cheeks, letting herself regain some strength before smiling brightly, âAlright, Iâm fine, donât worry.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng, twirling her hair lightly while coaxing in a gentle voice, âDonât be depressed, donât be in despair, donât worry. You have me.â
Gu Mengmeng nodded, âI know, I have a good husband.â
Smiling, Elvis accepted Gu Mengmengâs compliment. The term âhusbandâ sounded especially great to him.
âHere, my good husband, how about we get to serious stuff now?â Gu Mengmeng asked while laughing.
Elvis looked Gu Mengmeng up and down as if he was thinking of something, then shook his head resolutely, âAlthough I would like to, but you have not recovered yet, so you cannot do anything temporarily.â
Elvis had instantly destroyed Gu Mengmengâs depressed atmosphere. Taking a pair of chopsticks, she used them to knock against Elvisâ head. âWhat are you thinking about? Iâm talking about serious stuff.â
Elvis replied seriously, âIt is serious stuff. But Xiao Meng, you really have to rest.â
Gu Mengmeng did not know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head, âI know I need to rest, the serious thing Iâm talking about is also not the not serious thing you are thinking of. Iâm talking about our four babies, we canât just call them Number One through Four every day, can we? Isnât it time we give them actual names?â
Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng and thought seriously for a while, then replied, âWhatever, you can call them whatever you like.â
âTsk...â Gu Mengmeng really wanted to spit blood onto Elvisâ face, lamenting, âCould you even care less? After all, they are your sons, what do you mean by whatever?â
Elvis said, âMy name, was randomly picked by me when I became an adult. Lea, what about you?â
Lea thought for a moment before responding, âI snatched it from someone else after I became an adult.â
The edges of Gu Mengmengâs lips raised, she asked, âHow do you snatch... a name?â
Lea nodded, âI thought his name sounded nice, so I killed him and his name belonged to men if one day someone else likes my name, they can challenge me too. Many people are like this.â
Elvis agreed, âYes, I snatched two names before too, but I didnât think they were very great after I snatched them, so I gave up and named myself. I have met people who wanted to snatch my name previously, but they never defeated me.â
Gu Mengmeng had a despaired expression: What is there to snatch about a damned name? If you donât believe it, just go to the entrance if a village and shout Gunther, 8 out of 10 would turn around to reply to you. Based on the logic in the beast world, must the damned strongest Gunther choke the rest to death before having ownership of its own name?â
