Elvis and Lea exchanged looks. She had clearly kicked up a big fuss and insisted on knowing the truth.
Now that they were going to tell her, she was saying she didn’t want to know?
Further…
Didn’t they already promised to tell her? Why was she still throwing them out?
Gu Mengmeng stared at those two unmoving males and waved her hand. “If you two don’t leave, I will. I will sleep outside tonight.”
“Xiao Meng.” Elvis pulled Gu Mengmeng back into his arms. “Don’t be angry, Lea and I will listen to you. We will guard the entrance for you today. You just have a good sleep inside, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged Elvis off and gave a “please leave” gesture.
Elvis and Lea knew that Gu Mengmeng was really angry and didn’t want to make her even madder. As a result, two of the most formidable beasts in the Beast World were relegated to standing pitifully outside the cave, as if being punished. So that they could glimpse in now and then at Gu Mengmeng, they stood unmoving from their spots despite the glaring sun.
Gu Mengmeng had really hardened her resolve. She just turned and sprawled on the bed for a nap. Elvis and Lea could only see her back profile as she refused to even turn.
After a long time, the two of them could clearly hear that Gu Mengmeng had already fallen asleep. They finally gave a soft sigh of defeat, as their shoulders drooped subconsciously.
“The previous time she had chased me out of the house was after we returned from that beauty pageant at Sauder, and discovered that I had created an opportunity for you during the winter. And that time… she wasn’t angry for that long.” Elvis gazed at Gu Mengmeng’s back profile with frustration. He was already used to her sleeping nestled in his arms. Her sleeping profile always made his heart grow warm.
Would she accidentally fall off the bed if he was not around?
She was used to hugging his tail to sleep. Now that she had nothing to hold, would she be able to sleep peacefully?
Lea smiled bitterly. “Yeah, I was still so envious at seeing you being chased out of the house. At least you had the right to be “chased out”, while I was completely banned from going near her. I didn’t even get the chance to beg for mercy.”
Elvis smiled helplessly. “Yeah, so you have gotten your wish now? How does it feel to be chased out?”
Lea smacked his lips as if seriously tasting something. He then gave a chuckle. “In the past, we never cared about where we slept. Now, why have we become so attached to that cave? Not being able to enter… makes one’s heart feel so empty.”
Elvis’ gaze was profound as he watched over that girl lying in bed. “We are not attached to that cave but to that tempestuous girl inside.”
Lea nodded with realization. “Yes, we are helpless the moment she throws a tantrum.”
Elvis’ eyes held a subtle gentleness as he surveyed Gu Mengmeng’s body. He felt a deep sense of bliss.
To be able to be chased out of their home by her was a type of blessing.
After all, he also never had the chance to be chased out in the past.
“So do you really intend to tell her the truth?” Lea was still frowning. That matter… he really didn’t wish for Mengmeng to know.
Elvis glanced askance at Lea. “Do you have a better idea?”
Lea thought about it and shook his head. “If our lie is uncovered, we might suffer a worse fate than just being chased out.”
