Lea and Elvis exchanged glances, clearly heaving a sigh of relief.
Gu Mengmeng continued, “162 males….I’m afraid every family had losses. Arrange the single males to protect and take care of females with fewer family members to make sure that the quality of the females’ lives don’t deteriorate. No issues should arise in their safety too.”
Lea threw a glance at Auretin. Auretin, who was just sending a piece of meat into his mouth, sighed and said, “Noted, I’ll arrange it.”
After walking away for two steps, Auretin came back and looked at Gu Mengmeng’s expression. He pressed his lips into a line and the words ‘I don’t know whether to say this’ were clearly written all over his face.
Gu Mengmeng lifted her face and asked him, “What’s wrong? Speak.”
Auretin cleared his throat and asked with a serious expression, “I want to share dinner too, can we roast some meat?”
Gu Mengmeng was speechless, “…”
Under this kind of circumstances, what Auretin was concerned about was actually dinner….
Ha, Lea really got it right.
In this Beast World, everyone seemed to have reached the state of numbness towards males’ death.
Lea sneered and looked at Auretin, questioning him, “Roast what meat? Can’t you see that my Mengmeng is in a bad mood? You can’t share dinner with us tonight, go and settle it yourself in the wild.”
Auretin frowned and his gaze towards Lea became exceptionally unfriendly. This was hatred coming from a foodie.
Gu Mengmeng shook her hands and said, “Call the females over, we’ll roast meat tonight. They’ll feel a lot more assured if they see me alive.”
“Yeah.” Auretin’s expression became a lot better. He ignored Lea and left directly.
After Auretin walked away, only Gu Mengmeng and her two males were left there.
Lea placed Gu Mengmeng back into the tree hole and then sat down on his two knees by her feet. His fluffy large tail landed gently in her embrace, covering her just like a warm blanket. He supported his elbow against the sides of the tree hole and looked up at Gu Mengmeng’s little face, smiling without any words.
Gu Mengmeng looked back at Lea and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?”
Lea chuckled and replied, “I feel very complicated now, I’m proud but disappointed….what should I do?”
Gu Mengmeng stared at Lea in confusion, waiting for his next sentence.
Lea patted Gu Mengmeng’s little face gently and explained, “You became a lot stronger and now think matters through very clearly. This is a good growing sign because this means that you won’t split hairs to go down a dead end and won’t lock yourself up in a dark sorrowful space in the future. This is good news and I should be happy for you, I should also feel proud for your growth but….this also means that you have one less thing that requires Elvis’s and my accompaniment and comfort. Your reliance on us will then be reduced. I feel….empty. I’m afraid that as this goes on, one day, you will not need us completely….”
Gu Mengmeng did not know whether to cry or laugh at Lea’s worry. This feeling of anticipating your independence but being afraid of losing your reliance…..wasn’t this what parents go through when they send their children to kindergarten?
Holding Lea’s hand, Gu Mengmeng looked towards Elvis. His expression told her that he was feeling the same too.
They really had….good teamwork.
Gu Mengmeng breathed in deeply and said, “To examine whether a romantic relationship is a good one, we have to see if we became better people after sinking ourselves in love. You two made me stronger and braver but….this doesn’t obstruct me from loving and relying on you guys.”
