Mmm, Gu Mengmeng remembered that incident clearly.
Lea was always envious of every single little thing she and Elvis had done together before she had partnered him. For example, twisting his ears, throwing potatoes…
Even now, this fellow would still wriggle his furry beast ears at her now and then, staring at her in anticipation and asking if she wished to twist his ears.
That year when they were not together must have been a tremendous torture to Lea?
Reaching out one little hand, she rubbed Lea’s ear before chuckling. “Domestic violence is a no-no. I had thrown things at Elvis in the past as I was weaker. Even if I hit him with all my might, I could never hurt him much. Things are different now. If I mistime my move, you or Elvis might get injured. I am now a powerful Gu Mengmeng and cannot attack others unnecessarily.”
Grabbing the hand which Gu Mengmeng was rubbing his ear with, Lea pulled it to his lips for a kiss. “Silly girl. In mine and Elvis’ world, you are never the weaker one. You don’t need your fists to hurt us. Just one look from you can send us straight to hell. It can also lift us back to earth. Your one word is enough to kill me on the spot, and can also bring me back to life.”
Gu Mengmeng pecked Lea on the lips before giving a sweet smile. “My lord’s mouth is so sweet.”
A tingly numbness spread throughout Lea’s body.
She often called Elvis “hubby”, but this was the first time she was calling him “my lord”.
This term of endearment was set down after Snakel snatched away the “boyfriend” title. But she had never called him that before.
His heart quivered on hearing it for the first time.
Embracing her tightly and kissing her again, he said, “Call me that again.”
“My lord…” Gu Mengmeng obediently nestled in Lea’s arms. Her face was tinged a girlish pink, making one feel like cherishing her.
Lea held Gu Mengmeng and kept asking her to call him “my lord”. Every time she did, he had to kiss her a few times in order to control the tingling feeling in his heart. They flirted in this manner for an entire afternoon, all the way until the evening time when Auretin and Elvis came back together. Auretin was carrying some hunted game.
Elvis took Gu Mengmeng over from Lea. He inhaled her scent deeply before looking at Lea. “I heard that monkey came here to confess his feeling to Xiao Meng?”
Lea nodded. “Don’t worry. It has been settled.”
“Mmm.” Elvis smirked in approval. He then said, “Including today’s hunting yield, we should have more or less enough game to last us through the winter. From tomorrow onwards, I will stay at home to accompany Xiao Meng. You can continue with your duties.”
Lea nodded in silent assent.
They all knew that Lea was busy—not with the affairs of the tribe, but with planning for their journey to the Motou mountain range during the monsoon season.
“The usual rules. You are in charge of thinking, I am in charge of doing.” Elvis added.
Lea chuckled and raised one brow. “I feel like I am getting an especially short end of the stick. You always lay the blame on me every time there is a slip-up, shrugging off your responsibility with a ‘the idea was his, I was only the muscle’. Tsk… why don’t we switch it around and you be in charge of thinking, while I be in charge of doing?”
Elvis gave a faint smile. “I am the first partner. My arrangements are the law.”
Lea shook his head in exasperation as he dissed Elvis back. “Cunning.”
Elvis didn’t argue but just hugged Gu Mengmeng and kissed her. “Apart from the things already stored in our cave, is there anything else you would like to eat? I will help you prepare some.”
