Chapter 108 - Brain Is a Wonderful Thing
With everyone’s help, Gu Mengmeng’s fire-lighting plan was successfully executed in no time. Seeing that the fire was blazing, Gu Mengmeng wanted to compliment Collin and Oakley, but she noticed that the two had a hideous look on their faces as they were clenching too hard on their jaws.
Well, being scared of fire is in every animal’s nature. Gu Mengmeng shrugged in despair.
Not expecting the two that was scared of fire to help out anymore, Gu Mengmeng had to add the moist leaves one by one into the fire pit by herself.
Soon, there were thick smoke rose up, as though condensed ink was added into a tank of clear water, forming an enchanting and beautiful ink stain.
Gu Mengmeng had chosen the windward side to start the fire, when the wind blew from the back, the thick smoke was naturally swept towards the beehive.
At first, a few worker bees came out to check the situation, followed by a swarm of bees pouring out of the hive like a rapid stream of water, escaping to the opposite direction as to where the smoke was coming from, totally ignorant to the culprit Gu Mengmeng whom was just standing near them.
When the bees had almost all flown out, the remaining few had become unconscious from the thick fumes and Gu Mengmeng used the wet leaves to put out the fire.
The fume looked scary, but the fire was not massive.
After finishing the cleanup, Gu Mengmeng dusted her hands that turned black from the ashes and looked at the three shocked males with her head held high, proudly accepting the admiration and shock in their looks.
“Alright, you all surely know what to do next?” A pair of lively big eyes was engraved in her dirty little face, signaling the trio to ‘start working’, but the trio just looked at her with a blank face, as though they totally did not comprehend the whole situation from the start.
Gu Mengmeng facepalmed, well, having a brain is a wonderful thing, but sadly not a single one of them had one.
If she had not been afraid of Lea and Elvis stopping her, she should really have brought the two of them along.
Despaired, the trio were the only ones capable, while Bode could not even be counted on.
Gu Mengmeng sighed, before cheering herself up and patting Collin’s shoulder. “Collin, hug me.”
“Huh?” Collin blinked blankly, before nodding with a dry smile. He opened his arms with his head lowered to one side shyly, not having the courage to look at Gu Mengmeng directly, like a little girl playing hard to get.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and detested him, “You are a two-meter tall, strong man, why are you pretending to be shy?! It does not suit your character!”
“Uh?” Collin did not know how to answer to Gu Mengmeng’s dissing and he looked down in as though he was bullied, thinking to himself, “I must be too stupid to make Gu Mengmeng angry again…”
“No blushing!” Gu Mengmeng was going mad, she could not stand a strong man with the build of Arnold Schwarzenegger appearing like a little wife in front of her. Who was the one that risked his life to climb the pagoda and was blood-soaked? Eh? Can the Beast Deity quickly come and take this sissy fake away!
“Oh.” Collin nodded intensely, but he had no idea how to not make his face blushed, while the more anxious he was, the redder his face got.
How? He was so helpless…
Gu Mengmeng facepalmed and gave up on Collin’s character. She turned to Oakley and said, “Oakley, you hug me.”
“Alright.” Oakley nodded, before going to Gu Mengmeng and lightly hugging her. After a moment, he released her obediently and stood back.
Gu Mengmeng clearly saw a flock of crows flying past her.
Damn! She had only wanted someone to hold her higher to reap the hive, why did it become as though she was aroused and needed hugs from all over? Can they stop playing around!
