Gu Mengmeng bit onto her lower lip hard. After a while, she said with apology, on the brink of tears, “Ah Kel, I’m sorry…”
Snakel’s brows remained tightly knitted from the start but he relaxed his pressed lips slowly, forming a helpless smile.
He stood there, watching the tears brimming up in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes. Sighing, he took a step forward with a smile and walked through the door, standing in the same world as Gu Mengmeng.
The tiny step he took almost skinned one layer of his skin away. The pressure and abrasion from transmigration made him wallow in agony but he could only clench his teeth hard and hold it in.
He could not show any cowardly side of himself to Twomeng. He had to be strong enough to protect her no matter where they were.
Facing his palm outwards, Snakel took in two deep breaths to calm down before he called, “Twomeng, come over.”
Gu Mengmeng felt like her legs were not hers as she took tiny steps towards Snakel as if being possessed by ghosts and gods. Her eyes were fixated on his face and she cried even harder the closer she got to him.
Back then, this guy ripped open his chest to retrieve the gallbladder for her, this guy created a perfect future in a completely unfamiliar place for her after he left his own world, this guy casted 19 years of his hard work to the winds without any reminiscence just to transmigrate to her world…
He threw his status, his money, his glory, his worship and even his life out of the windows without regard for anything just for her.
And what about her?
Other than hurting him again and again, what else did she do for him?
Snakel maintained his position of holding his palm out while awaiting Gu Mengmeng to put her hand in his. However, when Gu Mengmeng walked to him, she did not hold his hand but instead, pounce into his arms directly, hugging him tightly. She resembled a lost kid hugging her loved one while weeping bitterly, feeling panic-stricken and helpless. She said while choked with tears, “Ah Kel, what should I do….Elvis and Lea are dead, what should I do? I’m so scared….I don’t have anything now…..weep weep weep….Ah Kel, what should I do….”
This was the first time Gu Mengmeng took the initiative to crash into his embrace, this was the first time she sought his help, this was the first time she showed her weak side to him without concealing anything.
Snakel hugged Gu Mengmeng back with both arms tightly, the smile on his face becoming wider.
Back then, he was so envious until he went crazy and was so jealous until he wanted to kill someone. Finally, it happened on him too.
He interrogated her once before, “When you’re sad, you find Elvis and when you’re injured, you find Lea….when would you think of me?”
Now, she thought of him.
She asked while hugging him, “What should I do? Ah Kel, what should I do, I’m so scared.”
So, it may not be a happy thing to have one’s dream fulfilled. He would rather stay envious and jealous for his entire lifetime than see her cry so much, looking like a kid who lost everything.
He pressed his lips against Gu Mengmeng’s ear and kissed her gently. Then, he said with his deep and husky voice, “Who said that you don’t have anything now? You still have me, don’t forget, no matter what world I’m in, I’m always an invincible winner.”
“But….” Gu Mengmeng wailed even louder. She only managed to spit out two words before everything got caught in her throat. She had no choice but to give up on talking so that she could breathe through her nose. At the same time, Snakel wiped her tears away and said while smiling at her, “You’re originally ugly enough, now you became uglier after crying…..stop crying, don’t you just want Elvis and Lea? I’ll snatch them back for you, alright?”
