Cole tilted his head to one side, ignored Gu Mengmeng’s pull and refused to let go of her. He forced himself onto Gu Mengmeng’s arms.
Feeling disgusted, Gu Mengmeng wanted to push him away, but she did not dare to move seeing how he appeared to be on his final breaths and would be dead if Gu Mengmeng did anything.
Seeing he succeeded in having it his way, Cole was even more arrogant.
Turning his face to one side, Cole grinned as he pointed at Oakley with his chin, trembling. He asked, “Now, Ah Gu, do you want him to be alive, or dead?”
Gu Mengmeng frowned at Cole and asked, “He came today with the clear purpose of killing you, if I say I want him to be alive, will you let him go?”
Cole chuckled and blood was trickling down the corner of his lips. He did not care and continued, “If someone deserves to die for just wanting me to die, only piles of bones would be left in this world. Cough… Cough cough… I won’t blame him for wanting to kill me, but I will not forgive him for wanting to take advantage of you…”
Gu Mengmeng did not understand what Cole was saying, there was no fear on Oakley’s face, only guilt, as he avoided Gu Mengmeng’s eye contact.
Cole let out a cold laugh and said, “Anyone that is disloyal to you… does not deserve to stay by your side.”
Oakley’s eyes stared hard at Cole, but dared not to move it an inch to meet with Gu Mengmeng’s. His chest was filled with hatred and he turned it into words, “Winner takes it all, kill me if you wish, but let Bloom go after I die.”
Although Cole was feeling extreme pain from his chest and every word coming out of his mouth induced even more pain, he felt like he was on cloud nine resting on Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders, even the pain pleased him.
Even if his internal organs were rubbed against by the broken ribs with every word he said, almost triggering a full body spasm from the pain, he could not stop talking as though he was self-harming. He continued the conversation with Oakley, “Ha, do you think you are in the position to request anything from me now?”
Gu Mengmeng was puzzled and confused. She looked at Cole and then Oakley, before asking, “Who is Bloom?”
Hearing Gu Mengmeng opening her mouth, Oakley turned to stared hard at the ground. Until he realized that Cole would not answer the question for him and was looking at him like watching a drama, Oakley forced himself to face Gu Mengmeng.
Tightening his fist and clenching his teeth, Oakley gave his pride and ego up. He looked up with two lines of tears trickling down his face and said, “Gu Mengmeng… Everything is my fault, Bloom is innocent, save him… Please save him at least…”
“So who the heck is this Bloom?”
It was a rare sight for Gu Mengmeng to see males in the Beast World cry, they usually clenched their teeth and endure the pain no matter how badly injured they were.
The only exception was Peter when he got back together with Natalie again, but even then he had only teared two teardrops secretly. Gu Mengmeng did not expect Oakley, with red eyes, bawling pathetically with tears and mucus flowing down his face.
“Bloom is the little snake that you have kept at the start for communication purposes… He… he is my lover.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned on the spot for a moment.
Because she clearly remembered, that snake… was a male!
Not that Gu Mengmeng discriminated against homosexuals, it was actually the opposite, Gu Mengmeng had a timid fojushi heart.
The reason for the timidness was that she would be the bravest when shouting slogans or imagining stories, but she would feel uneasy when gay couples actually appear in front of her.
Seeing Gu Mengmeng remaining quiet, Oakley thought she was hesitating and pleaded even more desperately, “Bloom is loyal to you, everything is my fault, you can punish me however you like if you save Bloom… Please… I beg you… Gu Mengmeng, I am begging you as a friend!”
