Elvis did not quite understand, but did not interrupt Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and continued, “If one never really considered accepting another as a part, they should not have given others the wrong idea from the start. Using then in this way was too shameless, someone with a high moral principle like me would not be able to do it. And now, Lea is living in our cave because of your injury while his cave is temporarily inhabited by people from the Eagle-owl tribe, we can’t possibly burn our bridges and chase others away, can we? So I agree for Lea to stay in our cave, but I do not wish to be too cared for by him.”
Gu Mengmeng paused and organized her thoughts again before continuing, “You also know... about Lea and I. However, no matter how much I once liked him, we have already mated now and I do not wish for him think that if he were to be any nicer to me, we could be like us in the past. The best method would hence be to not cross the line and have a reasonable distance between each other. I can accept it if he only takes half an hour to look for snacks for me today. After all, I am pregnant, so it is natural for a friend to lend me a helping hand. But the extent of three to four days... is too burdensome to me.”
Elvis stayed quiet for a long while after he finished listening, his mystic blue eyes deep as the sea. He pondered for a moment before asking, “Have you really decided on not forgiving... Lea?”
Gu Mengmeng did not reply, but asked him, “Do you wish for me to?”
Elvis hesitated, but eventually nodded.
Gu Mengmeng sat back, a distance away from Elvis, then furrowed her brows asking, “Then? What do you wish for me to do, after I have forgiven him?”
A blood vessel dilated on Elvis’ forehead. No words were needed to tell the struggle and conflict within him, it was all too clear.
It seemed like a century before Elvis replied dryly, “Accept him, let him be your partner.”
“What about you? Are you going to leave me?” Gu Mengmeng replied coldly.
Elvis looked up violently, shaking his head resolutely, “I will never leave you, not at any time.”
Gu Mengmeng folded her arms, “You know, I can only have one partner.”
Elvis tried to hold Gu Mengmeng’s hand, but was shaken off by Gu Mengmeng. He knew she was angry, but he still decided to continue speaking.
Moving two steps forward, he wrapped Gu Mengmeng in his arms, his chin against her neck. His husky voice made one’s heart ache, “I desire to have you for myself, and make you belong to me only. However... other than the times that Lea spends with you, he would rather die than live on. There is only hatred and destruction in his eyes... like me in the past.”
Gu Mengmeng felt something, she could not explain clearly what she was thinking. She only knew she should listen quietly to Elvis, so she did not struggle further, allowing him to explain their past while hugging her.
“We both stood on a cliff, on the verge of collapsing, yet blindly walked towards the abyss doomed to eternal damnation. I was very lucky to have you to grab on to me. Originally Lea... had such an opportunity too. Elvis sighed, “Lea and I barely survived until we met you. If we had never met you, we would have used hatred as the motivation to survive, but today... if we lose you, there would be nothing we could hold on that would keep us breathing.”
