Chapter 710 - I Heard That Bear Paws Are Very Delicious
Gu Mengmeng was momentarily dumbfounded. It was true she also felt that she was no longer as close to Sandy.
One reason was because Sandy was still unhappy that Collin didn’t join in the fight to save the camp. The second reason was because Gu Mengmeng was now a thousand years old mentally, and no longer had the mood to indulge in frivolous play with Sandy.
However, Gu Mengmeng had never regarded Sandy as an outsider.
She was just not as intimate as before. Sandy must have felt very upset over her remoteness?
But too many things had happened over this period of time. Gu Mengmeng really didn’t have time to show concern for Sandy’s feelings. As bosom friends, this was her fault.
Gu Mengmeng reached out to tug at Sandy’s little hand and smiled warmly. “You know that something happened to me at the Snake King valley, and it is very difficult for me to adjust my emotions. I am working very hard to adapt to my new circumstances and also trying my best to regain my original self. This is a very challenging matter for me.”
Sandy wasn’t entirely clear about what happened to Gu Mengmeng at the Snake King valley, but she did know of the general situation.
After all, Collin used to be one of Gu Mengmeng’s guards. In addition, of all the rest of the people, Sandy cared about Gu Mengmeng and missed her the most. So she had tried her best to gather all the information she could about the incident. Although she still did not have a complete picture, she knew more about it than anyone on the outside.
Sandy held Gu Mengmeng’s hands in her own, which were warm and soft. With clear eyes shining tenderly, she said shyly, “I want to do something for you… anything… Gu Mengmeng, tell me, what can I do to help you?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “You don’t need to do anything. Just your presence is enough to bring me warmth. After I inherited Snakel’s memories, my personality had turned somewhat reserved, but you must believe me that I don’t hate you, I don’t blame you and I am not trying to distance myself from you… I learned many things from Snakel’s memories, but also forgot how to get along with others.”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head and looked at Sandy’s little hand holding hers. Her gaze held a sliver of tenderness. “I already feel very moved that you can hold my hand and listen to my complaints.”
Sandy was quite affected. Actually, she had always thought Gu Mengmeng didn’t want to remain friends with someone as selfish as her.
Instead, Gu Mengmeng was now saying her presence was enough to bring her warmth.
On the edge of tears, Sandy pulled Gu Mengmeng into her arms and started sobbing freely.
“Wah… Gu Mengmeng, I though you no longer wanted to be my friend… sob sob sob… you forgot, never mind… ah ah ah… I remember, I remember everything… wah wah wah… I will help you regain your memories, I will help you…”
Before Sandy could finish her sentence, she had been pulled up by the back of her neck by Lea.
Sandy was still in the throes of her weeping. She felt that the walls constraining her had finally collapsed. She could now face Gu Mengmeng without shame again. The joy of regaining her one and only friend consumed her mind and she didn’t feel anything else.
Only when she met Lea’s dangerous eyes did the hairs all over her body stand straight up. Her teary eyes cleared immediately and shone with obvious fear.
“Hiccup~” Sandy stifled a sob.
Lea remained unsympathetic and just narrowed his eyes fiercely. He said in a cold voice, “I heard that bear paws are very delicious… I think that paw of yours which was holding my Mengmeng, looks pretty good.”
