Gu Mengmeng nodded and did not say a word.
Her little head was covered underneath the beast skin. Gu Mengmeng stared at the flower with a blank gaze, muttering softly to herself, “Why….does it seem like I forgot some things? Some…..very important things….”
“If you forgot it, that means it’s not that important to you.” Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s back gently with his large hand to secure the beast skin on her. With the beast skin between them, he kissed her little head and said, “Some people would remember the things you forgot because to those people, the memories are worth being cherished.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, still feeling her chest stuffed up as she asked, “Hubby, I didn’t sing for you in a long time, right?”
“Yeah, the last time I heard you sing was at the night campfire party. Back then, Chixuan was still unconscious and Jialue kept pestering you to sing a song to see whether you can wake Chixuan up.”
Gu Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Elvis’s neck and smiled slightly. Recalling those times gave her a misconception as if a generation had passed.
“Shall I sing a song for you? I feel that it’s extremely compatible with the situation here.”
“Alright, I’m listening.”
“Spring is gone (another year gone by), hair is whiter, alone in contemplation, cutting my hair, covering already covering my eyes, can’t see where I’m going, today, so far apart, my inside churns in pain, there is no hope to see you again in this lifetime….”
The sorrowful and miserable tone created blew the sand up together with the dry wind in the desert intermittently. How many past were ignored without consideration through these copious and fluency, silliness and infatuation
And thereafter, there was a legend:
There was a desert lying at the boundaries of the Beast World called Mecca. The quicksand was unlimited and it was a vast and endless place.
When the wind blew the sand into the air, you can hear someone humming a strange tune, the unclear dictation makes one sad uncontrollably.
But, who would sing in a desert?
That was just the sound of the wind blowing the sand.
There was a city in the desert called Fedaton, meaning ‘date of return’.
That city lived the most cruel and merciless savagers, wild and intractable stray beasts. They were beasts who could walk out of the desert and unify all the demons in the Beast World but they were trapped in the desert and not allowed to leave even a single inch.
According to the legend, the beast who confined them was the owner of the stray beasts, his name was a taboo and nobody dared to mention him.
He was placed above all rules and he killed people on a spur of moment. He was an evil spirit roaming around the boundaries of hell and with the the purity of his evilness, he was able to control those demons who could quake the Beast World.
But, Fedaton City collapsed into bits in one night. All the evil spirits in the city were buried inside, not a single soul survived.
Some said that the merciless demons were toys that he raised to kill the time he was awaiting for. When the date of arrival was reached, he would have waited for the person he was waiting for.
So, that city, that person, everything there had no necessity to exist.
Thus, he used five days to recall all outside demons back to the city and buried them together to end this once and for all, not leaving a tint of dirt in the Beast World.
Because the person he liked, the person he’s waiting for said she wanted to protect this Beast World.
After leaving the desert, Gu Mengmeng was negative for a few days, she did not know where this sorrow in her came from. She just felt stuffy and uncomfortable.
Wabei detested Gu Mengmeng’s half-dead look. He was not able to talk to her as carefully as Elvis and Lea so he just directly swung his snake tail towards her, giving her such a scare that she leaped up and retaliated, almost breaking his snake tail with a slap.
