Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis and stayed silent.
Not to deny, Elvis’s devotion towards her made her really touched but following it was a strong sense of uneasiness.
Gu Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Elvis’s waist and pressed her little face against his chest before speaking slowly, “You promised me that you won’t abandon me….”
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng back and enjoyed her reliance on him as he replied, “I swear, I will never abandon you.”
Gu Mengmeng raised her head and met eyes with Elvis’s affectionate pupils. Her brows curved upwards unknowingly, giving off a pitiful look as she asked, “But if you die, aren’t you abandoning me too?”
Elvis leaned forward and landed a kiss on Gu Mengmeng’s forehead before he comforted her, “Fool, even if I die, my soul will always be by your side.”
Gu Mengmeng twitched her lips and said, “Yeah, your soul by my side to see how others bully me?”
Elvis was taken aback and he immediately said, “No, you will never be bullied by others. Even if you don’t have me, you still have Lea, Ian and the Eagle-owl tribe, and also Barete, Auretin and the entire Saint Nazaire…”
Gu Mengmeng retorted, “But they’re not my husband. Without you, me and our sons will become a widow with her half-orphaned kids, it’s really terrible.”
Elvis already felt a sense of happiness by Gu Mengmeng’s words. He completely did not care whether his sons were terrible or not, but if his death affected Gu Mengmeng’s life…..he really could not just die like that.
After staying silent for a while, Elvis handed the bamboo shoot to Lea….
Lea was quite surprised as he received the bamboo shoot with both hands. Seeing how Gu Mengmeng’s eyes were sparkling like stars, he asked, “Can I…I test the poison for you too?”
Gu Mengmeng snatched the bamboo shoot away and said, “Sigh…..I feel that we should make an umbrella first, let’s place the food matter at one side for the time being.”
Lea and Elvis were confused as they could not understand what she meant.
Gu Mengmeng added, “Water is all stored in your brains because you guys don’t have umbrellas when it rains.”
Elvis and Lea exchanged glances and then shook their heads in unspoken teamwork, even Ian who was maintaining his cold posture the entire time started tilting his head slightly.
Elvis replied, “There’s no water…”
Lea joined in and said, “Yeah, I don’t hear the sound of water.”
Ian commented, “There’s really no….”
Gu Mengmeng gave a helpless smile and said, “There’s so much water that you guys can’t shake out.”
Elvis thought for a while and said, “We’ve been bracing the water since young so it’s not strange to have water in our brains. Anyway, we did not feel uncomfortable these few years so it shouldn’t be fatal. Just let our brains be filled full with water. There’s no need for you to make any umbrella, it’s too tiring.”
Generation gap! This must be a damn generation gap!
Gu Mengmeng felt that water might have entered her own brain too or else why was she discussing this topic with these three fellows? Clearing her throat, Gu Mengmeng shifted the topic back and said, “Why must you eat something yourself to find out whether it has poison? Can’t we just catch a rat and feed it?”
Elvis and Lea had astonished expressions on their faces as they looked like Columbus who had discovered a new world….
Gu Mengmeng shook her hands lightly and said, “Please keep the worship on your faces away, low-profile, let’s maintain a low-profile.”
Lea said, “Alright, I’ll go catch the rat.”
Gu Mengmeng scolded, “Catch your ass, didn’t Elvis eat the bamboo shoot already? Let’s catch it the next time. And, just catch one at a time, or else Saint Nazaire will become a rat nest in the future.”
