Gu Mengmeng turned Elvis around and around to look at him in detail and after confirming that he did not have any abnormality other than the wound on his back, she then heaved a sigh of relief. Pouncing back into Elvis’s arms, she hugged onto his waist and said, “You scared me to death that day. You’re always so healthy, why did you suddenly faint? I thought that I was going to bee a widow just after getting married.”
As Gu Mengmeng whined, she punched Elvis’s chest and added, “Don’t scare me like this in the future, get it?”
Elvis let her do whatever she wanted to and felt that it was happiness even though he was being hit by her. He nodded his head earnestly and answered, “Alright, I won’t scare you in the future again.”
Gu Mengmeng hugged onto Elvis while breathing in two deep breaths before suddenly recalling that Lea was still outside. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said, “That… I allowed Lea to stay in our cave.”
Elvis did not have the chance to open his mouth yet when Gu Mengmeng sat up straight, like a spring that was being pressed onto, and looked straight into Elvis’s eyes. She continued to explain in a flurry, “Don’t misunderstand, it’s not what you’re thinking of.”
Elvis was slightly taken aback as he chuckled while asking, “What is it that I’m thinking of?”
Gu Mengmeng choked as she pursed her lips, saying, “No matter what you’re thinking of, it’s not what you’re thinking of.”
“Oh,” Elvis nodded his head while smiling, implying that he got it.
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’s hand and said seriously, “That day, you were unconscious and covered in blood. I was scared to my wits and was so worried that you would not wake up but I was also scared that those strange fellows would return so I was extremely helpless. And at that time, Lea appeared at the entrance. He promised that he would treat you on the condition of staying in our cave until next spring. Since I don’t have any reason to ask him to bear the risk while running to and fro in the wind and snow for us, I agreed. It’s just like that, really, nothing else.”
“I always believe Xiao Meng’s words.” Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s hand and patted her uneasy face gently.
She did not know how guilty she looked right now. Although she was clearly just stating facts, she was unable to appear natural and right.
Gu Mengmeng asked in utmost cautiousness, “You’re… not angry?”
Elvis asked her back instead, “Why should I get angry?”
Gu Mengmeng fiddled with her fingers and replied, “Because… I acted on my own and let Lea enter our cave.”
Elvis felt a warmth sensation in his heart and smiled, “We have already mated so strictly speaking, this cave is yours. You can let anyone enter or get out of the cave as you wish. Nobody has the right to doubt your decision, even if it’s me.”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head to ask, “Who says you can’t? We are spending our life together so we have to discuss matters. If you don’t feel fortable, you can just say it out loud. Letting others stay in our home is my fault. If it’s me, I’ll definitely feel unfortable. I can understand if you’re angry but can you don’t stay angry for too long? It’s really a special case then…”
Elvis held onto Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders and stared right into her eyes, saying, “I’m not angry, I’m really not.”
This time, Gu Mengmeng was the one who was confused. She tilted her head and asked Elvis, “I let my ex-boyfriend stay at our home and it’s when you’re still unconscious… you’re not even angry at this? Are you not afraid that he’s the next-door Uncle Wang (cuckold)?”
“Next-door… Uncle Wang?” Elvis did not understand. He was certainly sure that there was only his cave in his territory, next door… sounds like a cave used to put dried preserved fish, so another name for dried preserved fish is next-door Uncle Wang? But why should he be afraid of it? And even if Lea was preserved, he was also a preserved fox, why did he bee a dried preserved fish? Don’t understand… don’t understand…
