Elvis’ spine stiffened, and it was as if his blood had solidified in that moment. For a long while, he was out of breath, and could only stare right at Gu Mengmeng, whose determination and certainty shone through her clear and doe-like eyes. Elvis knew that such an expression was more than just the stubborn words of a female.
She was really going to depart from his life.
His left chest stopped beating for a while, then let out a deafening sound which was so loud it caused Elvis’ eardrums to buzz continuously. Blood rushed to his eyes, blurring his vision.
Turning around resolutely, Elvis only said, “You don’t have to go.”
Taking big strides, he took his leave.
As she watched Elvis’ back view, Gu Mengmeng felt as if she was going to be swallowed by her own guilt.
Damn, rejecting someone is truly stressful, Gu Mengmeng could only hope that she would never have to do it a second time.
She took a damn vow, that she would no longer be envious of the school belles for receiving confessions all day, and for rejecting people as easily as chewing on some potato chips.
What did Elvis mean when he said she didn’t have to go? Was he going to let her stay in the cave instead? That’s not right… Damn, she already rejected him, and now she is making him lose everything he has? Isn’t that shameless?!
Gu Mengmeng could not do such a thing consciously, so she decided to first pack up her things and wait for Lea to come back before she moves to his place.
Back at the cave, Gu Mengmeng looked down at her feet that were hurting excruciatingly, finally understanding why Lea and Elvis always carried her every time they went out, practically never allowing her to walk by herself. She took too long, and it was only now that she noticed their concern for her.
Looking around, Gu Mengmeng was limited by her vision and could only see within 10 square metres from the entrance of the cave. Any further and it would be pitch black. If Gu Mengmeng had walked in, she would not have been able to see anything. However, on second thought, she transmigrated here by swimming, and probably only has one item that belonged to her, which was the love artifact bikini which the salesperson convinced her to purchase for when she “chances upon” the swimming club senior. So, she actually did not have anything to pack up.
Gu Mengmeng wore the bikini, then wore the clothes that Elvis made for her over the bikini. Right, there were protective padding above and below, clearly providing more security than not having them.
Out of sheer boredom, Gu Mengmeng patted her hands against the entrance of the cave, walking back and forth waiting for Lea’s return.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping Lea would come back earlier than Elvis, so it would not be too awkward.
However, after waiting for ages, Lea still did not return even when the sun had set. Elvis did not return either.
At night, the cave is still rather terrifying, and she could blame nothing but this damned territorial behavior. Since Elvis was the leader of Saint Nazaire, he had the biggest territory. There were no flies around, let alone neighbors. At that time, the only thing that accompanied Gu Mengmeng was her shadow, which was blurred by the silver moonlight. Besides the sound of the wind, the only other sound was the beating of her heart.
The longer Gu Mengmeng waited, the more flustered she got. Elvis and Lea had never left her alone like this. Could it be that when Lea went to heal Nina’s partner, she let her other partners attack Lea instead of being grateful?
Thought after thought, Gu Mengmeng’s mind was filled with the image of Lea lying in a pool of blood, at the gate of death.
She stood up violently, ignoring the pain in her feet and ran towards Sandy’s house. She did not know where Nina lived, so she could only ask Sandy for help.
She did not run far when she saw a pair of green eyes watching her in the dark. She staggered and fell to the ground, backing up fearfully, only to find energy draining from her limbs. When met with such danger, she did not even have the ability to run, and could only watch as the pair of green eyes approached her slowly, one step after another…
