Chapter 95 - Why Are We Still Going Through Gender Discrimination?
When Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and the rest reached the stream, the nosebleed had already stopped but since they had already come all the way here, she should just wash her face conveniently.
When Gu Mengmeng was about to wash her face after rolling up her sleeves, she heard a rustle behind her. Gu Mengmeng who was squatting at the bank of the stream froze immediately. What the heck was this situation? A male whose face was swollen with bruises rushed over frantically, looking as if… he was looking at someone for the last time.
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head while staying rooted to the ground. She did not have the time to ask what was wrong when she was hugged by Sandy who was rushing at the front of the crowd. Sandy whimpered with her face covered in tears, “Gu Mengmeng, don’t hide from me anymore, what exactly is wrong with you? Hurry tell me!”
“I’m… I’m just suffering from a little excessive internal heat.” Gu Mengmeng answered honestly, “See, I washed my face and I’m fine now.”
Sandy did not believe her and tried to look into her nostrils after cupping Gu Mengmeng’s little face. After checking it, she felt that it was not thorough enough, and she placed her nose closer to smell in detail for quite some time. She then heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that her nostrils were not bleeding anymore and said, pouring out her grievances pitifully, “If you’re sick, you can’t hide it from me.”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I’m well.” Gu Mengmeng hugged Sandy’s shoulders and comforted her.
“Who would bleed from the nose just anytime? Don’t try to lie to me… sob sob… I only have you as my best friend, if you die… I… I… sob sob,” Not comforting her was better, after Gu Mengmeng started consoling Sandy, Sandy was more upset. Her tears fell from her eyes as if they were free-of-charge and she cried till Gu Mengmeng could not help but sigh.
This Sandy was good in all aspects but she just liked to cry too much. She really was a through and through softie.
“Ok, Sandy, if you cry again, I’ll be drowned by your tears.” Gu Mengmeng soothed Sandy while wiping her tears, “Don’t cry anymore. Look, the stream has fish, shall I roast some fish for you?”
“Fish…?” Upon hearing there’s food, Sandy tried to catch her breath while forcing back her tears. Her eyes that were not free from tears yet looked as bright as the night sky that was being washed by water, clean and transparent.
“There, just that one.” Gu Mengmeng pointed at the fat fish which was swimming freely around in the stream and did not seem to be scared of humans at all.
“Water shuttles are very hard to eat, the smell is very raw and there’s even pricks.” Sandy looked at the fish and curled her lips, despising it. Shaking her head, she pulled Gu Mengmeng’s arm and acted coquettishly, begging like a spoiled child, “Gu Mengmeng, let’s just roast rabbits. Elvis caught quite a number of rabbits just now, besides those that you’re planning to raise, there should be enough for the two of us.”
Seeing how Gu Mengmeng was not swayed by her words, she looked at the water shuttles with glittery eyes. Making up her mind, she stomped her feet and said, “At most, I’ll eat less and let you eat your fill first, alright?”
However, Gu Mengmeng held Sandy’s little hand and pulled her in front of her. She pointed at Elvis and Lea with her chin and then pointed at Bode and the other males who ran with her all the way and then asked, “Everyone’s here looking at only both of us eating? You have the nerve?”
Sandy scanned her surroundings and then nodded in certainty, “I have the nerve, why should I not have it?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled helplessly, “The rabbits were caught by Elvis and we still need Lea’s help for the cooking. At the end, while I’m eating, everyone’s looking, while I’m sitting down, everyone’s standing, what is all these? No way no way, I can’t do it. If we want to eat, we should eat together, or else let’s all not eat. What era is this already, why are we still going through gender discrimination?”
