Chapter 183 - Am I Dead To You?
Gu Mengmeng did not turn back at all as she walked straight into the cave.
Nina scrambled up with all her might and wanted to pounce on Lea. However, Lea sent her a cold glare, and she was so terrified till she stood rooted on the spot. Her whole mouth was filled with blood and she was also stuttering her words. She gabbled on, “You didn’t come back for a few days so I was worried. That’s why I came to look for you… who knows that Gu Mengmeng would be so uncivilized and come forward to hit me. Look at my face, what did she do to it? Lea, you must back me up.”
Lea did not say a word. On the other hand, Elvis started speaking, “You want to touch my female in my territory? Am I dead to you?”
“But…” Nina wanted to defend herself but Elvis was too lazy to talk crap with her and just threw her a sentence, “If you don’t want to get banished before winter, don’t appear in front of Xiaomeng in the future, or else….”
Elvis did not finish his words when he extended a hand and evolved it into the claws of a wolf. He slammed it down on the ground and the next moment, a large hole was formed.
Nina was so scared till she became speechless and she stood aside, shivering in fear.
The sound of Gu Mengmeng sobbing and the voice of Sandy who rushed in to comfort her could be heard from the cave.
Elvis frowned as he looked at Lea, asking, “Why did you suddenly appear?”
Lea looked down at his hands, murmuring as if he was talking to himself, “Her palms are wounded. If she continues hitting, they will start to bleed and it will be very painful.”
Elvis sighed. Actually, he noticed the red marks on Gu Mengmeng’s palms but he knew how badly Gu Mengmeng held it in for the entire day. She put on a cheerful facade and would laugh out loud at the slightest thing on purpose. The way she laughed was so draining and so heart-breaking. He would rather let her vent it out like that, at least it was better than keeping it to herself. So, even though he clearly knew that her palms were scratched from plucking the grass today, he did not structure her way of hitting that would kill an enemy a thousand times but hurt herself eight hundred times.
Elvis sighed again and did not say anything else as he turned back into the cave.
Upon seeing Elvis enter the cave, Sandy made her exit tactfully.
Elvis pulled Gu Mengmeng in for a hug. He opened her hands and his heart ached but he did not bear to blame her.
Gu Mengmeng wiped her tears as she tried to hide her emotions but instead, made it more conspicuous, “Sand entered my eyes, it hurts a little.”
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly, placing her at his chest. He said gently, “It’s very painful to have sand entering your eyes, right? Crying is good, cry the sand out and you’ll not hurt anymore.”
The tears that Gu Mengmeng took so much effort to suppress overwhelmed her again as she hugged onto Elvis’s waist tightly while sobbing with an attempt to restrain it. When she was worn out from the crying, she started sleeping in Elvis’s arms.
It was already night when Gu Mengmeng woke up.
Bode took Sandy away while Barete and the other two were still standing outside the cave, staring blankly at the mountain of potatoes on the floor.
Gu Mengmeng was quite embarrassed. She asked them for help while on the other hand, she was only concerned with tearing her love rival apart which resulted in them being ignored for half a day.
Just when she was thinking of a way to start a conversation without feeling awkward, Collin stood up while rubbing the back of his neck. He asked in embarrassment, “Gu Mengmeng, can I pluck a few of these things back tomorrow?”
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback for a moment before she smiled and replied, “You like to eat it?”
Collin nodded his head seriously, then promised, “I’ll just pluck a few to try, can I do it?”
Barete threw a punch at Collin’s back and said, “What a promising male, you’re snatching food from a female?”
Gu Mengmeng was amused by both of them and the awkward mood was also dissolved. She shook her hands and said, “Isn’t there ready-made ones here? Just eat them.”
