The two men were both drenched in blood and propping each other up, hobbling back with the sunset in the background. Gu Mengmeng was dazzled by the sight and felt like their blood was spiraling all over the ground.
Lea rolled his eyes at Gu Mengmeng. “And you said they knew their limits? They were clearly out to kill each other.”
Auretin and Lea lifted Elvis and Wabei across their shoulders, and carried them over to the area where Gu Mengmeng usually sunbathed.
They were so grievously injured that if they moved them into the cave, the smell of blood would probably linger for a long time.
The cave was meant for Gu Mengmeng to stay in and must never be tainted with the scent of blood.
Gu Mengmeng’s heart ached tremendously but Wabei was just as seriously injured as Elvis. Hence, she could not even blame him as such. The only thing she could do was to gloomily use a piece of moistened animal skin to clean out the still-bleeding wounds.
“Don’t be angry.” Elvis was extremely weak but still reached out to hold onto Gu Mengmeng and coax her.
Gu Mengmeng pushed his hand aside and said coldly, “I am not angry.”
She washed the animal skin before continuing to use it to clean his wounds.
Elvis smiled bitterly. “You are not smiling, and you still claim you are not angry?”
“How can I still smile when you have been hurt like that?” Gu Mengmeng growled angrily.
Elvis frowned as he gave a low cry, as if he was in great pain.
Gu Mengmeng was shocked. She thought she had wiped too hard and accidentally hurt his wound. She threw aside the animal skin anxiously and asked Elvis, “What’s the matter? Is it very painful? Lea, Lea, quickly come over to take a look…”
Elvis grabbed Gu Mengmeng’s arm and pulled her into his embrace. Gu Mengmeng was caught unawares and fell straight into his arms. She even felt a warm liquid oozing onto her arm. Damn, she must have knocked into his wounds.
But she didn’t dare to struggle. If she moved now, she might injure him further.
“Yes, it’s very painful.” Elvis’ voice was weak and raspy. “Give me a kiss and it won’t hurt anymore. Mmm?”
With that, Elvis lifted his head with the intention of kissing Gu Mengmeng. Unfortunately, he was a bit too far away and no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach her.
He laid back despondently, his face full of pain. “I am still… too weak. You are in my arms, but I am unable to kiss you…”
“You really… drive me crazy.” Gu Mengmeng propped her hands on either side of Elvis face, and lowered herself down to kiss him on the lips. The kiss tasted of blood. Their tongues snaked around each other, wordlessly transmitting Gu Mengmeng’s worry and Elvis’ comfort.
They kissed until Gu Mengmeng’s arms were trembling before she finally lifted her head and settled back in a kneeling position beside Elvis. She panted as she continued to clean his wound. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Don’t think I won’t do anything to you because you are injured! When you are better, just wait and see how I will punish you!”
Elvis’ lips remained curling upwards as he gazed tenderly at Gu Mengmeng. “Ha, I got scolded. Is Lea going to envy me again? He always envies me for the weirdest things. For example, you throwing potatoes at me, throwing me out of the cave, scolding me or pinching my ears… what can I do? I also feel so blissful being scolded by you… have I been influenced by Lea? Mmm?”
“Don’t think you can get away with it like that!” Gu Mengmeng glared at Elvis. “Letting a body which belongs to me end up in such a state. I will not let you off that easily!”
