Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, blushed and whispered in soft words, “There are poisons in me… Deadly ones…”
“I know.” With that, Elvis kissed down her neck, brushing past Gu Mengmeng’s collarbone with the tip of his tongue. He said with a hoarse voice, “But I am willing to…”
Gu Mengmeng put both of her hands on Elvis’s shoulders as her body shook uncontrollably. She bit her lower lips and said with tears forming in her eyes, “But I am not.”
Elvis paused for a moment and he stretched his back up straight. With one hand lightly hooking onto Gu Mengmeng’s chin, he stared at her teary face and said, “Are you… looking down on me?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and dared not to look at Elvis in the eyes. She said softly, “I know that you are injured and it hurts to even stand or sit down, right? But, if you don’t want to admit… I won’t ask. So, don’t ever cover up your wounds like this, I will feel heartache.”
Elvis felt sharp pains in his heart by Gu Mengmeng’s words.
The Gu Mengmeng now was not someone that he could hide his weaknesses by pretending nothing had happened anymore?
She had known everything, but held it in, forcing out smiles and laughters and playing it along with them in exchange for their hearts’ content…
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng into his arms and said in her ears, “I really do hate that snake, whom made your sense so sharp… but did not give you the intelligence to match up to it.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, she blinked her eyes and felt that the worries she had was disrupted by the second half of Elvis’s sentence.
Elvis took a deep breath as he held onto Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders. His sapphire blue eyes stared straight into her eyes and said, “Did you not understand? I said that… I am willing to.”
Gu Mengmeng felt that her brain had malfunctioned and she was having difficulty breathing. She stared back at Elvis without moving, as though her soul had been attracted to that pair of eyes.
Elvis’s smile was gentle and filled with fondness. He rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s small head and said, “Being ‘domestically abused’ by you to death… would probably be the happiest way of dying in this entire world. If it is you, I will accept anything. Even death itself.”
Gu Mengmeng felt like her heart was being grabbed forcefully. There were no roarings and every word Elvis said was peaceful and gentle, but it was like a tender hand that held her heart steadily. If he just closed his fingers now, she felt that her sensitive heart might explode.
Gu Mengmeng raised her hand to hug Elvis back, she buried her small face into Elvis’s neck and shed the first tear ever since she left the Snake King valley.
“Hubby… What can I do… I am so scared… I don’t know what had happened, I couldn’t control my emotions at that time… What if… What if… Sobs sobs… What if one day, I murder all of you accidentally…”
Gu Mengmeng was crying, but Elvis was laughing.
Finally, the enclosed door that Snake had built with a thousand years of loneliness had been pushed opened by a small margin.
Her Gu Mengmeng was escaping from that small gap.
As long as he could hold her hand, whether it was pulling her out from there or accompanying her in, it did not matter anymore.
“Idiot.” Elvis kissed on Gu Mengmeng’s tears and his voice was filled with his whole life of emotions, while his eyes were as gentle as the infatuation from the deepest part of the ocean. He patted her back softly and said, “I will never die. Remember? I will never do anything that will make you sad. So, try to believe in me and leave everything that makes you unhappy to me, alright?”
