âCollin, I always know youâre a down-to-earth male but I wouldnât have thought that you already reached the step of being dumb.â Gu Mengmeng looked at him pitifully and said, âDo you know that thereâs a phrase called âchildhood sweetheartsâ in this world?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Collin thought for a while before shaking his head, implying that he did not know.
âYou came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse, you walked about my seat, playing with blue plums. And we went on living in the village of Chokan, two small people, without dislike or suspicion, Gu Mengmeng read out while wagging her head, looking pleased with herself. Then, she cast an ambiguous smile at Collin.
Collin returned her smile with a dazed look, âI Donât Understandâ clearly written all over his face.
Gu Mengmeng sighed and said, âDidnât you think about it before, why is Sandy exceptionally nice to you?â
Collin looked at Gu Mengmeng and asked in a sincere tone, âWhy?â
âBecause she likes you!â
This answer was just at the tip of Gu Mengmengâs tongue but she eventually held it back. Because even if this sentence needs to be blurted out, it should not come from her mouth.
And furthermore, as a qualified bosom friend, she had a duty to maintain her worst friendâs superiority and status in relationships, why should Sandy woo him instead? Even if it was Sandy who liked Collin first, this fellow must never know about this.
Thus, Gu Mengmeng walked one round before sitting back into Elvisâs arms. She smiled an evil smile and said, âCollin, I heard Nina wants to create trouble for Sandy.â
âWhy?â Collin frowned, asking her.
Gu Mengmeng sighed helplessly and said, âDidnât I punch her earlier today? She wonât dare to find me trouble so sheâs off to bully Sandy. To put it simply, itâs because Sandyâs family doesnât have one that is strong enough to make decisions. How can Bode and the rest defeat Ninaâs twenty over partners? Sigh, if Sandy has a capable and strong male too, she wonât always be bullied by Nina anymore, donât you think so?â
Collin thought for a moment and looked at Lea, asking him with utmost cautiousness, âLea, how about you consider Sandy? The mighty messenger said that Sandyâs great.â
Lea did not reduce the intensity of his smile and no emotions could be seen in his curved eyes. Placing his elbow gently on Collinâs shoulder, he asked him with a tender expression, âAre you looking down on me because Iâm a beast pet?â
âNo...no I didnât....â Collin was so terrified until cold sweat started forming on his back. He could not figure out the reason why he felt a chill down his spine even though Lea was clearly smiling so happily.
Lea turned his head before pouncing on Gu Mengmeng. âWeep weep weep, Mengmeng you have to stand up for me.â
Gu Mengmeng kicked Lea away and squinted her eyes at Collin.
Collin completely did not notice Gu Mengmengâs expression as he huddled up closer to Barete before hugging Barete in a tight embrace. He asked, âBarete, how do you find Gu Mengmengâs Sandy?â
âHa,â Barete gave a cold laugh. With that brain of his, Collin actually learned how to use what he was taught on the spot? He wanted to use how Gu Mengmeng fooled him earlier to trick him? Did he really think that they were in the same circumstances together?
âWhat does your ha mean? Look, Gu Mengmeng said that Sandy has a soft body that can be easily pushed down and sheâs a good female.â
Barete looked back and asked Collin while staring at him, âSince sheâs a good female, why donât you want her yourself?â
âMe?â Collin pointed at his own nose blankly. The next second, he slapped Bareteâs shoulder while bursting out in laughter. âDonât joke, sheâs my sister.â
Barete sighed and looked at Gu Mengmeng, then looked back at Collin who was still stupidly laughing. He thought to himself, âBrother, youâre on your own now, good luck.â
Gu Mengmeng sighed deeply and said in a feigned sorrowful tone, âSigh...my pitiful Sandy. Wouldnât Nina continue bullying her and obstruct her from standing up for herself this entire lifetime? The last time, Nina bit her arm and that little fair hand was badly mutilated. It was such a ghastly scene that rendered every witness with tears and every listener with sadness. I donât know how many more times this kind of matter has to repeat itself...â
