Chapter 178 - Don’t Ask, Just Do It!
Elvis knew that Barete was following them from behind but he did not intend to expose or stop him.
After all, it was better to have one more person protect Gu Mengmeng. When they were faced with an extremely serious danger, at least there was someone reliable to bring Gu Mengmeng away while the fighting was on. What a fortunate thing that would be.
Gu Mengmeng did not have any sensitive sense organs like Elvis so she just huddled up in Elvis’s arms and looked around, scanning her surroundings. Sometimes, she made Elvis face the east and other times, she made him turn to the west. One may well call it as walking around blindly and aimlessly. Elvis did not find it irritating and just ran everywhere in the mountains as she pleased.
Actually, there seemed to be a lot of edible things here but Gu Mengmeng could not recognize that many so she did not dare to try them carelessly. Until she discovered a familiar garden…
F***! Potato flower!
Who the hell said that watching Korean dramas were useless? Huh?!
A long time ago, Gu Mengmeng saw this kind of flower in a Korean drama ‘The Greatest Love’. From her memory, the scene was about the female lead promising to make curry for the male lead but because of some reason, she did not live up to her promise. The potato brought by the male lead then sprouted but in the end, although a long green sprout grew from it, no flowers bloomed. Until one day, the male lead chanced upon a drawing of a field of potato flowers. The field was filled with those kind of sprouts and an elderly man told the male lead that potatoes bloom like that. The male lead then suddenly realized that his potato had already bloomed long ago. After that, the drama continued with all the over-the-top scenes of him running madly to search for the female lead and Gu Mengmeng could not really remember what happened after that.
Gu Mengmeng only remembered dissing a point to her roommate back then. Who the hell would hang a huge drawing of a potato flower field as decoration?
And it was because this venting point was too shocking that she could vividly remember that scene.
But the Gu Mengmeng who was hugging a watermelon while lying on the sofa and watching dramas back then would never have thought that this venting point could improve her meals one day in the future!
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’s shoulder in agitation and exclaimed, “That that!”
After the previous experience with the salt crystals, Elvis was a lot more careful this time round. He did not know why Gu Mengmeng needed all those grass for but his only principle was: don’t ask, just do it!
Thus, Elvis walked to the center of the field of potato flowers in utmost caution and asked, “You just want to bring all these grass back right? Can I just pluck it directly?”
Gu Mengmeng extended her finger and shook it like a clock in front of Elvis. She put on a no no no expression and said, “I don’t want all these grass, I want the things below the grass.”
Elvis pushed the grass gently to both sides and noticed that there was only soil below…
What did Gu Mengmeng want all these soil for? Don’t tell him that soil could be eaten too?
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’s arm, signaling him to put her down. Elvis followed what she said and soon, Gu Mengmeng rolled up her sleeves and separated her legs shoulder-width apart. She held a potato flower with both hands and pulled up with all her might!
F***! The skin on her hand got scratched…
So painful…
Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis with blood on both her hands and her eyes watered with tears because of the pain from her palms. The delicate and pitiful look melted Elvis’s heart, and he scooped Gu Mengmeng into his arms. He looked at the wound on her palms and despite not being deeply injured, to Elvis, the wounds still appeared horrifying.
Elvis held onto Gu Mengmeng’s hands gently and placed it near his lips, then…
He actually stuck out his tongue and started licking Gu Mengmeng’s palms thoroughly.
A shot of numbness extended from Gu Mengmeng’s palms to every corner of her body. Gu Mengmeng stared at him in bewilderment while stuttering, “What… what are you doing…”
