“Would you believe me if I said all of it had nothing to do with me?” Snake did not reply, but asked back.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “I believe you if you say so.”
Snake asked, “Why?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled faintly and said, “With your strength, you wouldn’t have to go such a long way to capture me. Even if you don’t hold the little wolves as hostages, I have nowhere to escape.”
Snake grinned, raised his eyebrow and said, “Then why ask if you already knew?”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and said, “Whatever the matter is, a chance to explain should still be given to the person, right?”
Snake did not reply, he looked at Gu Mengmeng quietly for a long while before saying, “It wasn’t me.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled, nodded her head and said, “Then I have no questions for you. What do you want to know about that world, I can tell you everything I know.”
Snake thought over it for a moment, but shook his head.
Gu Mengmeng was confused, she asked, “Weren’t you curious about the original world your mother was living in?”
Snake looked down at their shadows overlapping each other under the moonlight, paused for a moment and replied, “I was indeed curious in the past, but from a certain point in time, I could only remember that I was curious, but not what I was curious about.”
Gu Mengmeng thought it over and agreed with what he said.
A thousand over year, any kind of curiosity would be gone in the passage of time.
Knocking Snake’s shoulder, Gu Mengmeng said, “Your mother is extremely funny, do you know that?”
Snake looked at Gu Mengmeng’s glimmering eyes, shook his head lightly and said, “In my memory, she was a solemn and serious person, always looking far beyond one’s grasp. Even without others present, she always appeared to be worried, even my father beast did not know what she was thinking. Under my impression… She never had the smiley face of yours, never cried however she wanted like you. She never let anyone know what she cared about, what she liked, what she hated. So different… from you.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Snake with a face of ‘only idiots believe you’ and said, “What you mean is, your mom had the style of being elegant and cold, while I am the one that is like a snail dashing on the road of ridicule and humor?”Read more chapter at ReadNovelFull
Snake nodded his head slowly with an earnest face.
Gu Mengmeng smacked her thigh and jumped up, she originally wanted to stand opposite of Snake, but her hands were still under his grip and she almost fell down.
Snake instinctively wanted to catch her with his hands, but realized that the wound on his arm had not healed completely, so he had to take back his hand that was extended midair, pulled in the arm that was grabbing onto her hand and hauled her into his arms in a parabolic motion.
Gu Mengmeng felt a daze and she was already lying against Snake’s chest when she had stabilize herself. She looked up, blinked several times and looked at Snake’s green eyes that were just inches away from her. Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat and said, “Alright, I am a funny and ridiculous person.”
Snake smiled lightly, placed Gu Mengmeng properly in his arms and said, “Sit down and speak, don’t wiggle around.”
Gu Mengmeng moved her butt and said. “Well, I can just speak at the side.”
Snake tightened the grip on his arms and held Gu Mengmeng tightly, he said, “You are the safest in my arms, you won’t get hurt.”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and submitted her fate helplessly, who asked her to almost fall on her head moments before when she only wanted to stand up? Passive, she was being too passive!
Gu Mengmeng turned her head and looked at Snake with her the corner of her eyes, she decided to gain back some advantage on the topic of ‘your mother’.
