Gu Mengmeng felt a jab in her heart.
Had her emotions reached the extent that would have caused Elvis and Lea to not know what to do? Actually, there was really nothing, it was just her lack of interest towards anything in general, so she would not really feel that sad even when she was not happy.
As for Snake… She had already moved past it, or say, his feelings when he was saving her had neutralized her guilt. She was no longer so upset now, taking into account the urges from Wabei and the Beast Deity.
She was neither happy nor upset, but it seemed like that worried the two of them.
Gu Mengmeng pulled the edges of her lips, forcing a smile while looking at Elvis, “I’m really fine, after I get used to this thousand-year spirit within me, I will gradually be fine. Don’t worry, alright?”
Elvis sighed softly, then hugged Gu Mengmeng even tighter. His husky voice rang above Gu Mengmeng’s head, “I fear that the only thing I won’t learn, in this lifetime, is how not to worry for you…”
Gu Mengmeng did not say anything, only quietly letting Elvis hug her.
Sweat was dripping off the heads of the three little ones who had been running, as they aggressively pounded into Gu Mengmeng’s embrace.
Although now, Gu Mengmeng would not fall because of their pouncing anymore, Lea and Elvis still subconsciously blocked them. However, the three little ones were too active, sneaking through Elvis and Lea from three different angles using their tiny frames as an advantage, wiggling to Gu Mengmeng’s side.
“Mommy, when will you sing again?” Jialue carried Chixuan in his arms, looking up at Gu Mengmeng asking.
Hede leaned beside Gu Mengmeng’s legs, his big bright eyes filled with expectation, but he pressed his lips together without saying anything.
Kanwu possessed the best position, as he hung in Gu Mengmeng’s embrace, looking up at her, repeating after Jialue’s words, “Yeah yeah, mommy, when are you going to sing?”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed Kanwu’s little head, then kissed Hede and Jialue before hugging Chixuan in her arms, “Right now.”
The eyes of the three children lit up, and Kanwu let his spot to Chixuan, following behind Gu Mengmeng tightly, asking, “Mommy, then can we follow you?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled, nodding, “Of course, I will give you guys the VIP seats.”
Jialue asked, “What are VIP seats?”
Gu Mengmeng brought the four children, walking towards the bonfire while replying, “Very—important—people. It means special guests.”
Kanwu giggled, then turned back to peek at Elvis, clearly trying to stir trouble.
An extra large hash sign appeared on Elvis’ forehead, as he walked forward and held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders, “very accidentally” kicking Kanwu to the side, only looking at Gu Mengmeng’s profile asking, “Are Lea and I, VIPs too?”
The old Gu Mengmeng would not have noticed those tiny actions of Elvis and Kanwu, but it was especially clear to her now.
Chuckling, she replied, “VIP seats are limited. Carry Kanwu if you really want to sit, you both are considered one seat.”
Elvis frowned, looking down at Kanwu. The father and son duo were especially in sync, as they both said simultaneously:
“No!”
“No!”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled, “Yo, great minds think alike.”
Elvis gritted his teeth, scooping Jialue up from the ground into his arms, “Count Jialue and I as a seat.”
