Lea laughed softly and allowed Gu Mengmeng to kiss him until his face was covered in water. He did not despise it and let Gu Mengmeng to hang from his neck like a monkey.
He gently placed the water down at the side, then supported her butt so that she could sit more stably in his arms, then he looked at Elvis and said, “What did he say?”
Elvis served himself a huge cup of water to drink, then repeated the conversation between the Beast Deity and Gu Mengmeng, including the ‘bastardly father’ that he saw in the dream realm.
After he said that, Gu Mengmeng could clearly see that Lea’s face had darkened and his long narrow eyes were filled with rage. Gu Mengmeng could even clearly see the veins protruding on his forehead and his lips rising on one side – that was his look when he was extremely infuriated.
“Nice, nice… Not only did he not take good care of you, he had even abandoned you and despised you, used harsh words to scold you and even used violence on you…”
The words that Bai Lan said to Gu Mengmeng in the dream realm were all like sharp daggers piercing Lea and Elvis’ hearts.
Every word that Lea squeezed through his mouth made his eyes red. In the end, because the pain from his chest was too unbearable, even his expression had become twisted. He hugged Gu Mengmeng so tightly in his arms that he had almost squeezed her into his body. His breathing became heavy and hot, as he said in a deep and low voice to Gu Mengmeng’s ears, “You are my precious sweetheart, how could they bully you like this?”
Actually when Gu Mengmeng saw that scene appearing in the dream, her heart felt a dull pain but she quickly recovered from it. After all, it had been many years and she could withdraw herself from that situation.
But with Lea saying this, she started to feel sad. When she looked up and saw Elvis with a look of pain and reproachful, yet still sealing his lips tightly, tears suddenly fell from her face.
That feeling was as though she had clenched her teeth tight and survived alone but when someone started to show some concern, all the feelings of being wronged were even more.
Her tears were not because she was upset but because she felt blessed.
Gu Mengmeng smiled and said, “It’s alright. It has already passed and I have forgotten about it.”
Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders and kissed the tears dry, then kissed her lips. With his voice trembling due to heartache, he said, “But you cried.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “I did not cry because I was upset but because I suddenly felt blessed that there was someone who felt sorry for my suffering. Actually, compared to Elvis and you, my childhood is really nothing. Someone once said that your luck is limited in a lifetime. The suffering I had when I was young was probably for me to accumulate luck to meet you guys. I think that it’s actually quite worth it. If you allow me to choose again, I will still choose to be abandoned by them when I was young, then transmigrate to the Beast World to meet you guys.”
Lea shook his head and said softly, “No I would rather suffer ten times or 100 times the pain you suffered in return for your blissful past. I am unwilling to see you suffer, not at all.”
Stopping for a moment, Lea said faintly, “Mengmeng, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng looked over at Lea.
Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng with a resolute gaze and said, “When the doors of time and space is opened, can you bring Elvis and I there?”
