Gu Mengmeng felt as if her heart was nearly jumping out. She gave Lea a hasty push and buried her red face into Elvis’ chest without another word.
Lea just laughed in high spirits and and prodded Gu Mengmeng’s small head. “Alright, come on out. I won’t tease you anymore. Elvis will kill me if you suffocate in there.”
“Ugh!” The more Lea prodded, the more Gu Mengmeng hid. She really felt like she could not face the world now.
It wouldn’t matter that much if Sandy was the only person around. But Fei Rui was also here, and he was still a kid…
Flirting right in front of a kid, was it appropriate?
Elvis smiled with warmth and resignation as he watched Lea and Gu Mengmeng’s interaction.
Luckily, compared with that fragile and innocent-looking Fei Rui, Gu Mengmeng clearly still preferred Lea’s flirtatious and slutty ways.
It seemed like there won’t be another member added to their family. Elvis breathed a little easier at that. He looked at Fei Rui again, who did not exhibit the slightest sign of jealousy or envy at Gu Mengmeng and Lea’s flirting. He just watched on with a face full of befuddlement and wonder, as if the door to a whole new world had been opened before him.
Those eyes…
They were really pure beyond anything of this world.
Elvis lifted one idle hand and rested it on Lea’s shoulder. “Know when to stop.”
Lea had also been observing Fei Rui and discovered that although he had requested to be Gu Mengmeng’s partner, he did not appear to understand what it meant.
In other words, he did not have any intentions towards Gu Mengmeng.
After completing his analysis and exchanging a look with Elvis, they both ranked Fei Rui as a second-level threat who required further observation but did not necessitate any special precautions.
Only Sandy and those four little ones were still ranked as first-level threats.
As for the people ranked as second-level threats…
Erm, everyone else who was not a first-level threat fell into that category.
Lea made a big pot of stewed meat from the food supply provided by Auretin, who never failed to appear during mealtimes.
With Sandy’s chowhound personality, she completely ignored Lea’s and Elvis’ “why are you still here” looks when faced with that big pot of food. She tugged at Gu Mengmeng’s little hand and sat beside her, eating to her heart’s content.
It was Fei Rui’s first time seeing land-bound beasts having a meal, and was bewildered but not taken aback. He felt the urge to try the food when he saw them eating so ravenously.
Gu Mengmeng pulled back his outreached hand and shook her head. “This is very hot and you will be hurt if you touch it with your bare hands.”
“Oh.” Fei Rui lowered his head like a child who had misbehaved. He continued to stare at the delicious-smelling meat, as he swallowed his saliva in a pitying manner.
Gu Mengmeng used her chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of meat and placed them in clear water to wash off the chilies. She then passed the bowl and a pair of chopsticks to Fei Rui with a smile. “Here, this is for you to eat.”
Fei Rui’s eyes brightened and his smile was so pure that it made Gu Mengmeng feel as dazzled as if she was immersed in the Milky Way.
Subconsciously influenced, she returned with an equally dazzling smile.
But this interaction triggered Lea’s jealousy.
Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s face and kissed it. He took over the few pieces of meat that were still in her mouth and swallowed them.
Looking at Gu Mengmeng’s bashful little face, he narrowed his eyes. “I am not that generous as to allow others to enjoy your smile. That is a benefit that belongs only to Elvis and I.”
