Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Mengmeng huddled up in Elvisâs arms and swung her little feet freely. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, âActually, I canât even recall how that Prince Charming senior looks like now. I only remembered he never admits defeat and his focused look when advancing towards his aim with all his might be very attractive. When he stood on the podium to receive his prize, the confidence he exudes made one giddy....maybe I donât like him. I just donât want to be alone anymore so thatâs why I wanted to find my inner sustenance.â
Elvis frowned and asked, âAlone? Donât you have...Yoo Sijin by your side?â
Gu Mengmeng burst out into laughter as she said, âDo you really still think that Yoo Sijin is a real person? Thatâs just a story, I explained it so many times before that thereâs no such person in real life.â
Elvis remained silent and did not answer her.
Lea, however, swayed his tail and asked in a nonchalant manner, âWhen you were describing him from his eyebrow to his behavior, everything was too detailed...we find it very hard to believe that all you had said was fabricated.â
Gu Mengmeng was helpless and could only give them a lesson on whatâs called âtelevisionâ.
Then, Elvis asked, âYou like television?â
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and said, âWithout mobile phones, television is the best pastime, so actually, I still quite like it.â
Elvis nodded and asked again, âWhat does that kind of âsionâ look like? Where can I catch it?â
Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded for a moment before she broke out into laughter, âHubby, thatâs a cultural product in our world. You canât find it here.â
Elvisâs expression become disappointed as he lowered his voice and asked, âIs...it a divine artifact from the Beast Deity World....â
âPfft...â Gu Mengmeng nodded her head while suppressing her laughter. âI guess itâs considered one, but that thing hurts your eyes so life is better without it.â
Elvis nodded and asked, âSo, the reason why you canât see anything in the dark when you first came was because of that âsionâ, right?â
âErm...â Gu Mengmeng wanted to say that even without mobile phones and televisions, she originally would not be able to see anything at night. But after contemplating over it for a while, she decided to give up and thus, nodded her head in agreement.
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng in his arms and lightly patted her back to comfort her, âIt was hard on you being...by the Beast Deityâs side. Iâm sorry, I didnât appear by your side to take care of you properly back then thatâs why you went through so much hardships and even hurt your eyes.....â
âActually...â Gu Mengmeng was thinking that under this kind of sorrowful atmosphere, was it a little spoilsport if she said that she enjoyed watching television and playing with her mobile phone?
Breathing in deeply, Gu Mengmeng hugged Elvis back and said, âItâs not too late for you to meet me now. Iâm willing to sacrifice my right to watch television and play mobile phones for an entire lifetime to exchange the times youâre with me.â
While Elvis was stuck in self-blame of not participating in Gu Mengmengâs past, Lea was wide-awake and comprehended another issue. âSo, before you came here, you were always alone? Were your Father Beast and Mother Beast not by your side?â
Gu Mengmengâs smile froze and she clamped her lips together. Shaking her head, she said, âWhen I was still a small kid, my Father abandoned my Mother and mated with another younger female. From that day onwards, Iâve not heard from him and he seemed like he disappeared from this world. My Mother mated with another male and when they gave birth to a son, the burdensome me was finally abandoned.â
