Gu Mengmeng was taken aback before she smiled slightly and asked, “Burke dropped by just now?”

Lea nodded and replied, “After I realized that both you and Elvis were not at home, I went out to find you because I was scared of something had happened. On the way there, I met Burke and he said...”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and continued his words, “He said that I was sitting in the rain alone and appeared lonely, looking as if I needed someone to accompany me?”

Lea hesitated for a second but eventually nodded.

He frowned slightly with heartache written in his long eyes. With a voice as gentle as the moonlight, he swept his long and slender fingers across Gu Mengmeng’s face and stopped at her left ear before he said, “My female needs someone to accompany her and I only know it from another male...I’m such a failure...”

Gu Mengmeng grabbed onto Lea’s hand and held it against her cheek. With a tender gaze, she comforted him, “I just accompanied Elvis on a hunt to relieve some boredom at the same time. I’m not lonely and you didn’t neglect me. I’m aware that you just want to return back to Saint Nazaire with me as soon as possible, that’s why you’re disregarding your meal times and sleep to teach Oakley on how to handle the tribe matters. Don’t worry, I’m fine. If I really need anything, I’ll tell you myself and you won’t miss the time when I need you by my side. As for Burke...ha, he’s just an outsider, why should you care so much about what he says?”

Lea chuckled and replied, “Yeah, that’s right, he’s not even the real Yoo Sijin.”

As they talked, Elvis carried a big bowl of ginger water out from the house. He squatted on one knee beside Gu Mengmeng before blowing the spoonful of ginger water to cool it down and then sent it into Gu Mengmeng’s mouth. “Drink some, it can help warm your body up.”

Gu Mengmeng did not reject Elvis and just let him feed her the entire bowl.

After Gu Mengmeng finished bathing and drinking ginger water, she put on some clean clothes and sat at the entrance, staring blankly at the outside.

Elvis and Lea were cleaning the prey inside the stone house.

In the rain, someone sprinted towards Gu Mengmeng but he stopped nearby and did not dare to step too close to her. However, he did not want to leave either, so he just stood rooted on the spot while staring at Gu Mengmeng. After a long time, he hung his head and turned around to leave.

Gu Mengmeng recognized that the scent belonged to Burke.

He should be here to see her but since he did not approach her, he most probably did not have any important matters to report.

Or maybe...he just wanted to ensure that she had returned back safe and sound.

Gu Mengmeng neither greeted Burke nor gave him any form of response, she did not even bother to glance at him. It seemed like he was just a drop of rain in this downpour and was not worth mentioning.

The rain continued for 13 days so Burke watched Gu Mengmeng for a total of 13 days.

Day 14, sunny.

Gu Mengmeng stretched her arms and finally walked under the sunlight.

Extending her hand out to block the bright sunshine, she squinted her eyes and tried to get use to the rays shining from the gaps between her fingers.

Gu Mengmeng was lifted up and landed against Elvis’s chest. His warm voice rang from above her head as he said with a tender expression, “Where do you want to go? I’ll accompany you.”

Gu Mengmeng did not leave the house for a long time and she felt laziness creeping over her entire body. She cuddled inside Elvis’s arms and said, “Let’s go find Lea, if he finished settling most of the matters, we can advance on our journey back to Saint Nazaire.”

“Alright.” Elvis replied softly.

When Elvis reached the meeting room while carrying Gu Mengmeng in his arms, Lea was discussing the problem of their leave with Oakley.

Gu Mengmeng would definitely want to return to Saint Nazaire. They were going to finish the salt they brought along from Saint Nazaire so they ought to quickly return back.

But the problem now was, who should return to Saint Nazaire with Gu Mengmeng and who should stay behind in Sauder to defend the subunit.
