Gregory’s voice reverberated in Gu Mengmeng’s ears, “You’re still worried? Your soul seemed to be away from your body from yesterday till now.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and looked at the sky, saying helplessly, “Yeah, night has fallen and a day has already passed. I don’t know what I am worried about, but… I just feel uneasy.”
Gregory was silent for a moment before he asked hesitantly, “In the past when you feel uneasy, what would Elvis and Lea do?”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned and shook her head, saying, “I am not someone who has that much worries. It is my first time experiencing uneasiness for no reason.”
Gregory sighed softly and said, “So I should feel honoured? Your first time feeling uneasy for no reason and the person beside you is me.”
Gu Mengmeng was humoured by what he said and laughed, “How about you tell me about your childhood stories, maybe I will feel better after diverting my attention.”
“Childhood?” Gregory asked back.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “During the days that I have been here, I feel that even though the scenery on Motou Mountains is unique and spectacular, but after looking at it for ten years, the mountains would no longer look like mountains and snow would not look like snow. How did you spend your time in the past? I am a little curious.”
Gregory recalled seriously, then shook his head and laugh bitterly, “I forgot…”
“Forgot?” Gu Mengmeng asked, feeling strange.
Gregory nodded and replied, “I thought about it seriously, and all my memories seemed to only begin after seeing you for the first time at Sauder, how did I survive those ten long years in the past? Other than flying endlessly… I don’t remember anything else.”
Gregory tightened his grasp on Gu Mengmeng’s arm and laughed softly, “This sort of feeling is great, my life… only started the moment I met you, so you are my everything, and I am holding you now… Yeah, my life is complete.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed, “I am so important, yet you are unwilling to leave with me…”
Gregory sighed and did not respond. He only pointed at the night sky and said, “The night sky here is beautiful, isn’t it?”
Gu Mengmeng knew that he was intentionally changing the topic and did not expose him. She merely nodded and said, “Yeah, it’s beautiful. In our world, the air is so polluted, especially in S City where I was, there was almost no stars at night. Strangely, I have been to the Beast World for four years yet I have never watched the stars properly. Since we are so high up today, you should watch with me and see if there is any horoscope I can recognise.”
“Alright, I shall watch with you.” Gregory’s gaze had been on Gu Mengmeng’s face the whole time as she watched the stars.
How could the light from stars be as dazzling as her?
Gu Mengmeng gestured for a long time, but she could not even find the Big Dipper. She sighed and shook her head, saying, “Previously I could easily talk about horoscopes when I was still in school but in fact, I don’t even recognise any of the stars.”
Gregory did not mind and laughed, “Does it matter whether you recognise them? It’s fine so long as they are beautiful.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, admitting to what he just said.
“I just like it when you can always help me find a reason out when I fail at pretending to be intelligent.” Gu Mengmeng giggled, then said, “I don’t recognise all the stars but I know some stories about them. Let me tell you a story as a form of repayment.”
“Alright.” Gregory smiled gently, his eyes filled with affections.
