Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis and stayed silent.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not to deny, Elvisâs devotion towards her made her really touched but following it was a strong sense of uneasiness.
Gu Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Elvisâs waist and pressed her little face against his chest before speaking slowly, âYou promised me that you wonât abandon me....â
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng back and enjoyed her reliance on him as he replied, âI swear, I will never abandon you.â
Gu Mengmeng raised her head and met eyes with Elvisâs affectionate pupils. Her brows curved upwards unknowingly, giving off a pitiful look as she asked, âBut if you die, arenât you abandoning me too?â
Elvis leaned forward and landed a kiss on Gu Mengmengâs forehead before he comforted her, âFool, even if I die, my soul will always be by your side.â
Gu Mengmeng twitched her lips and said, âYeah, your soul by my side to see how others bully me?â
Elvis was taken aback and he immediately said, âNo, you will never be bullied by others. Even if you donât have me, you still have Lea, Ian and the Eagle-owl tribe, and also Barete, Auretin and the entire Saint Nazaire...â
Gu Mengmeng retorted, âBut theyâre not my husband. Without you, me and our sons will become a widow with her half-orphaned kids, itâs really terrible.â
Elvis already felt a sense of happiness by Gu Mengmengâs words. He completely did not care whether his sons were terrible or not, but if his death affected Gu Mengmengâs life.....he really could not just die like that.
After staying silent for a while, Elvis handed the bamboo shoot to Lea....
Lea was quite surprised as he received the bamboo shoot with both hands. Seeing how Gu Mengmengâs eyes were sparkling like stars, he asked, âCan I...I test the poison for you too?â
Gu Mengmeng snatched the bamboo shoot away and said, âSigh.....I feel that we should make an umbrella first, letâs place the food matter at one side for the time being.â
Lea and Elvis were confused as they could not understand what she meant.
Gu Mengmeng added, âWater is all stored in your brains because you guys donât have umbrellas when it rains.â
Elvis and Lea exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unspoken teamwork, even Ian who was maintaining his cold posture the entire time started tilting his head slightly.
Elvis replied, âThereâs no water...â
Lea joined in and said, âYeah, I donât hear the sound of water.â
Ian commented, âThereâs really no....â
Gu Mengmeng gave a helpless smile and said, âThereâs so much water that you guys canât shake out.â
Elvis thought for a while and said, âWeâve been bracing the water since young so itâs not strange to have water in our brains. Anyway, we did not feel uncomfortable these few years so it shouldnât be fatal. Just let our brains be filled full with water. Thereâs no need for you to make any umbrella, itâs too tiring.â
Generation gap! This must be a damn generation gap!
Gu Mengmeng felt that water might have entered her own brain too or else why was she discussing this topic with these three fellows? Clearing her throat, Gu Mengmeng shifted the topic back and said, âWhy must you eat something yourself to find out whether it has poison? Canât we just catch a rat and feed it?â
Elvis and Lea had astonished expressions on their faces as they looked like Columbus who had discovered a new world....
Gu Mengmeng shook her hands lightly and said, âPlease keep the worship on your faces away, low-profile, letâs maintain a low-profile.â
Lea said, âAlright, Iâll go catch the rat.â
Gu Mengmeng scolded, âCatch your ass, didnât Elvis eat the bamboo shoot already? Letâs catch it the next time. And, just catch one at a time, or else Saint Nazaire will become a rat nest in the future.â
