“Say yes.”
“Say yes.”
“Say yes.”
…
The members of the basketball team started chanting. Gu Mengmeng blushed a deep red but still nodded almost imperceptibly.
Snakel heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt that there was some use to these stupid humans after all. At least they knew how to provide him some support during critical moments.
In view of how they had urged Twomeng to give him some status, he would treat them a bit better.
Snakel stood up and engulfed Gu Mengmeng in his arms. He gave a long exhale. “Twomeng, you are finally mine.”
Gu Mengmeng knew that her nod meant she now had a boyfriend.
Since he was her boyfriend… she should be able to hug him?
Her small hand timidly circled Snakel’s waist, oooh… that felt pretty good.
Snakel’s waist felt numb as his entire body trembled.
This was the first time Twomeng had made the first move to hug him. Both in this life and their previous lives.
His heart churned as Snakel lowered his head and kissed Gu Mengmeng deeply on the lips. Butterflies fluttered about inside his stomach.
Only when Gu Mengmeng was nearly suffocating did Snakel reluctantly loosened his hold on her lips. He chuckled. “I am here now as your very first love, and will grow old with you in future. I exist only because of you. So Twomeng, now that you want me, you cannot abandon me. Understand?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, a strange feeling tickled her heart.
She knew that she didn’t have such deep feelings for Snakel, but she did like him. She liked that he was holding her in the palm of his hands and in the depths of his heart. His dominance, his intensity, his everything—was all for her, and only her.
Gu Mengmeng felt like she was sinking helplessly into his sea of cherish and concern. She was completely unable to resist.
She knew there were some gulfs between them that would never be overcome—such as status and family background.
But before they inevitably broke up, she wanted to treasure this “once in a lifetime passion”. She wanted to enjoy all the warmth and tenderness he could offer, and also repay him with her own sincerity.
The club event ended and the basketball team captain led everyone off the court. He also dismissed all those heartbroken girls from the arena, before walking over to Snakel. He wanted to place one hand on his shoulder, but didn’t dare to. Hence, he just stood in front of Snakel and Gu Mengmeng, rubbing his own hands. “Our basketball club has never had such a good showing. Snakel, you are a really something else. We are going to sing KTV tonight, as a welcome party for you. What do you think?”
Snakel gazed dotingly at Gu Mengmeng. “Do you want to go?”
Gu Mengmeng instinctively wanted to shake her head, but the captain made a “hold on” gesture. “Junior, basketball is a team sport and it is important for players to have camaraderie and trust in each other. Snakel just joined us today and he needs to cultivate some team spirit with us. Moreover, today marks the start of your new relationship. Shouldn’t we celebrate that?”
His last question was obviously directed at Snakel.
It must be said that this team captain really knew how to read a situation. Snakel agreed that the confirmation of his relationship with Twomeng was truly a cause for celebration.
Gu Mengmeng saw a smile had started to form on Snakel’s lip, so she nodded. “Alright, then let’s go.”
Everyone had a wild time at the KTV that day. But Snakel just sat there quietly, smiling as he watched Gu Mengmeng enjoying herself with the rest.
He thought he would be overly-possessive, such that he would want to lock her up by his side and never allow her to interact with others. But he had suddenly discovered… his urge to completely possess her was not as strong as his wish to see her smile.
