Everyone took turns to sing as the microphones made the rounds. All sorts of songs were sung, and the last one was reserved for Snakel. The basketball team captain said that Snakel just had to sing one song and today’s event would be deemed as successfully completed. If he didn’t sing, it wouldn’t be an auspicious end to this special day for him and Gu Mengmeng.
Snakel wasn’t superstitious. As long as he was around, who could wreck havoc for him and Twomeng?
He didn’t like to be in a position where he had to entertain the masses. Participating in the swimming competitions was already pushing him to his limits. If not for the fact that he was trying to make himself known to Twomeng—even if it was just to let her have a glimpse of him in the newspapers—he would never have joined.
Now that his relationship with Twomeng had been confirmed, there was no need for him to do such foolish things. He would still have Twomeng’s attention.
Nevertheless, he could not resist Twomeng’s expectant gaze.
Thinking of how this bunch of fools had helped him earlier today with their support, he finally nodded. Still sitting on the couch, he pulled Twomeng into his arms and sang the song “123 I Love You”.
After finished singing, Snakel just stood up and carried Gu Mengmeng directly out of the KTV lounge.
Everyone was not too used to his way of doing things but they didn’t really mind. After all, he was already famous during his stint in the swimming club. To be able to hear this “mute” sing a song today was already very good. Hence, no one disputed his failure to pay his share of the bill. The team captain generously offered to settle the bill, but the counter staff informed him that half an hour ago, the KTV changed owners and the new boss’ first order had been to let them use the facilities for free, and that all food and drinks were on the house.
Hence the team all went home after a great night out.
Meanwhile, Gu Mengmeng and Snakel returned to the villa. The door had barely been shut when Snakel immediately pressed Gu Mengmeng against the wall and kissed her deeply.
There was an automatic night light in the house, which gave off a warm and romantic orange glow. The intense atmosphere made Gu Mengmeng feel somewhat at a loss.
“Erm…” Gu Mengmeng was blushing furiously, as her heart beat erratically.
So erratically and vigorously that Gu Mengmeng was worried that her heart would burst…
“Mmm?” Snakel uttered in a raspy voice.
“We have just confirmed out relationship today… we shouldn’t move… too fast.” Gu Mengmeng lowered her head timidly.
“Ha.” Snakel chuckled. Fast? He had waited a thousand years in the Beast World to meet her, and another 19 years after reincarnation to have her in his arms. It was not fast at all, but too slow.
But he had no intention of scaring her.
Although he desperately yearned for her, he wanted to reserve the best part of her for their wedding night.
He was not willing to let there be any more imperfections to her life.
She had already suffered 18 years worth of painful struggles. That was enough.
With him protecting her from now on, she should only feel bliss.
But he needed to settle something first before that happened.
Gently tapping her little nose, he said, “You are my much-beloved girlfriend, can’t I kiss you?”
“It’s not that…” Gu Mengmeng didn’t meant that. She just felt that he seemed to want to do something else after the kissing.
“Then I can kiss you?” Snakel didn’t wait for Gu Mengmeng to speak before pecking her on the lips again. “Good girl.”
An indescribable sense of sweetness bloomed in Gu Mengmeng’s heart at his coaxing words. She remained silent and just smiled.
“Since Twomeng wants to be a good girl, then this matter… should you give me an explanation?” Snakel retrieved an envelope from his pocket. The envelope was sealed with a heart-shaped sticker, which had clearly been opened before.
It was the love letter that she had give the basketball team captain yesterday morning…
