“Xiaomeng.” Elvis laid on his side on the bed, wrapping Gu Mengmeng in his arms, his finger brushing against her cheeks with love and cherish. He hesitated, but eventually said, “Could you, also sing a song for me?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled with a nod and proceeded to sit up. She looked at Elvis and thought for a moment before she cleared her throat and sang, “I close my eyes and breathe with the beat of your heart. At this moment, there are only the two of us left in this world…”
A melodious tune, every note brought out the sweetness that Gu Mengmeng had felt at that moment. Her fingers gently interlocked with Elvis’ long fur that was black like ink, twisting it then slowly letting go. When she sang until “Love you love you love you we will forever be together~”, she paused and silently pecked Elvis’ lips before she continued to sing.
She did not ask why Elvis suddenly wanted to hear her sing, because she did not ignore him saying the world “also”.
After coming into the beast world, Elvis was the third person who could make her open her mouth to sing.
The first was Sandy, Claire Kuo’s “Dowry” was already the song that belonged to her.
The second was… Lea.
“A Little Happiness”, which she sang back then, had unexpectedly become a special occasion.
Naturally, Elvis would not have used “also” on Sandy. So he was definitely referring to Lea.
After Gu Mengmeng had finished singing that song, Elvis felt relief run through his body.
How fearful must he have been for Gu Mengmeng to reject him, not willing to sing a song for him, or how she could have sung another sad song.
But thankfully, thankfully…
Elvis embraced Gu Mengmeng again, asking, “What’s the name of this song?”
Gu Mengmeng replied, “This song is called “Love You”, the original singer is Kimberley Chen. When I first heard this song, I could still watch Taiwan’s variety show in China. She went on the program to advertise. She was small in size, yet had an explosive voice, and was definitely one of those that would make you want to kneel the moment she opened her mouth. Though after I heard the official version, the appeal was subpar compared to the live version, but it was still very nice. This is also my ringtone on my handphone.”
Elvis still did not understand most of what Gu Mengmeng was saying, but even so, he felt a sense of bliss looking at how excited she was as she described what happened to her in the past. The more he understood about her past, which he was not in time to be a part of, the more he felt closer to her.
Bang bang…
A wave of menacing sound rang. Gu Mengmeng did not notice yet, but it caused Elvis to tense up. He grabbed the beast skin and wrapped Gu Mengmeng up, then he said while looking warily at the entrance of the cave, “Hide in the cavern where we preserve our fish. No matter what you see or hear, do not come out unless I come to fetch you.”
Gu Mengmeng did not know what was going on and was confused by Elvis’ nervous expression. While she was carried inside by Elvis, she turned around to ask, “What… what’s going on? What happened? Why must I hide?”
“Good girl, you have to hide yourself well.” Elvis used his strength to push Gu Mengmeng into the cavern where they kept preserved fish. He then punched the crag and caused the crushed rocks from the top of the hole to fall onto the ground, blocking the entrance of the hole tightly. It looked like a cavern that was abandoned because of the partial landslide.
