Gu Mengmeng blushed as her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to explode.
She instinctively drew back her own hand. “I didn’t do it on purpose. I woke up to find a man beside me… and got a shock.”
But Snakel refused to let Gu Mengmeng draw her hand away from his. He turned her wrist around to confirm that she didn’t hurt any bones, before kissing her hand. “I am your boyfriend and your dog. Why are you afraid of me?”
She used to be afraid of snakes but he was no longer a snake now.
Snakel felt rather despondent. He didn’t like her to be afraid of him.
Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat and turned her face to the side. “I am not used to having someone by my side. How about… next time… don’t sleep on my bed, then I won’t fall off.”
But Snakel interrupted Gu Mengmeng before she could finish her sentence. “Next time, I will hold you tighter and will not let you fall out of my arms. But you must quickly get use to having me by your side, understand? Mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng was momentarily taken aback. She took some time to digest Snakel’s words. He meant… they were going to sleep together from now on?
Gu Mengmeng looked at Snakel. “No, no. You cannot sleep on my bed every night.”
Snakel nodded with a smile. “Alright, then I will go back to the master bedroom tonight.”
Gu Mengmeng was just about to nod when Snakel added. “You will come with me.”
Gu Mengmeng froze in mid-action. “I refuse… you go back to your own room to sleep.”
Snakel narrowed his eyes and glanced sideways at Gu Mengmeng. “So you are not going to take responsibility after sleeping with me?”
“I…!” Gu Mengmeng widened her eyes at Snakel. Her face was full of shock.
Snakel lifted his chin. “You and me, one man and one woman spending the entire night together in bed—do you think anyone will believe that nothing happened?”
Gu Mengmeng felt like the cat had got her tongue. She had fallen into a trap, hadn’t she? She had!
Snakel drew Gu Mengmeng into his embrace. “I am a normal man with normal physical needs. Because I cherish you, I will hold back my desire before marriage. But you must still give me some benefits, otherwise that will be too cruel, wouldn’t it?”
“Twomeng, I look forward to the future, and that is to see you and the sunshine every morning when I open my eyes.” Snakel kissed Gu Mengmeng on the forehead. “Fulfill my wish, please?”
Actually, Snakel had a key to every room in the house. Gu Mengmeng was powerless if he chose to use force.
But he didn’t do that. He chose to coax her and beg for her agreement.
He could have easily attained his goal via brute force, but he chose the soft method as he cared for her feelings.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. She felt like she was probably the most easily persuaded girl in the entire world?
“Smiling means you have agreed. You cannot go back on your word, understand?” Snakel rewarded Gu Mengmeng with a peck on the head before carrying her to the bathroom. He placed her on the counter before taking up a moistened towel to help her clean her face.
“I can do it myself…” Gu Mengmeng was especially not used to being taken care of in this manner.
But Snakel pressed down her little hand. “You must get used to relying on me. From now on, I will immerse myself completely into your life. You will be reminded of me no matter what you do, and will never leave me then.”
