The Beast Deity waved and the familiar-looking screen appeared before Gu Mengmeng.
Early morning sunlight shone into the room through the clear window glass. Snakel held Gu Mengmeng as they laid on the king-sized bed.
His arm was wrapped around her, with her neck supported by his biceps and his hand gently holding her shoulder.
Snakel was unable to sleep the entire night. This was first time he was sleeping with Gu Mengmeng in his arms. He was unable to suppress the sense of excitement he felt all through the night.
In the Beast World, because his usual body temperature was too cool, he had to first bathe under the strong sun until his body hurt like it was burning with fire, before being able to hold her for just a short while. And now, his body was just as warm as hers. He could finally hold her without worrying that she was suffering from his icy touch.
Snakel never stopped smiling the entire time. He was unable to rein in the curl of his lips. Ha, since this little girl returned to his side, Snakel found that his lips were now beyond his control. Whether they curved upwards or downwards—it was solely by Gu Mengmeng’s influence.
Ha, another part of his body now belonged to her and it felt great.
Gently raising his right hand, he shielded Gu Mengmeng’s eyes from the sunlight. He gazed upon her petite face, which looked nearly transparent under the rays. Snakel was pletely unable to mask the love and adoration in his own eyes.
“Ooo…” Gu Mengmeng murmured softly as she started to stir.
Snakel set his hand down gently on Gu Mengmeng’s face and gave her a light pinch. He then propped himself up and kissed her eyes. “My dear, time to get up.”
Gu Mengmeng was only half awake and her mind still fuzzy from sleep. She answered blearily, “Mmm, good morning.”
She then paused for about two seconds before springing up from the bed like a rocket and retreating backwards, falling to the floor with a thud.
Snakel was stunned by Gu Mengmeng’s reaction. He didn’t know Gu Mengmeng would suddenly spring off like this after saying such a soft and tender good morning. He didn’t manage to stop her in time, and could only watch as Gu Mengmeng fell off.
“Twomeng!” Snakel’s heart constricted. He immediately got up and lifted Gu Mengmeng from the floor. His heart ached unbearably to have seen her fall like this. “You…”
He was unable to say any harsh words as his heart only felt a tender ache for her. He checked Gu Mengmeng’s body thoroughly. Luckily she had landed in a sitting position, and didn’t strike any other part of her body apart from her buttocks. Nevertheless, her palms had smacked against the ground and were slightly red.
Gu Mengmeng remained in a daze for a long while before recollecting herself from her “There a man beside me?!” and “Damn, so painful!” state of mind—to recall that she was the one who had let Snakel in yesterday, and agreed to let him sleep on the same bed.
At first, she had been very nervous and guarded, but Snakel remained the perfect gentleman. In the end, Gu Mengmeng had fallen asleep without even realizing it.
Gu Mengmeng berated herself for her own carelessness last night. Luckily Snakel was a morally upright gentleman. If it was someone else, she would definitely have been taken advantage of.
She was about say something when she spied from the corner of her eye that she had knocked over a bedside lamp. It was now lying on the floor in three broken pieces, its base and light bulb holder pletely separated…
“That… senior, I broke your bedside lamp… sorry. Why don’t you deduct this from my wages…”
Snakel frowned. “Let’s not talk about that lamp first. You made my girlfriend fall over—how are you going to pensate me for that?”
