Chapter 157: Love Is Blind, Beauty Is In The Eye Of The BeholderTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Elvis had definitely heard everything that had happened outside given his strong hearing ability. However, he had no choice but to act like nothing happened. He felt sufficiently happy that she could be the first person he saw when he woke up in the morning.

Carrying two beast skin dresses, Elvis wrapped one around his waist and threw the other one to Lea, “The male at Nina’s house is only barely living because of you. If you don’t visit him, he might not be able to survive.”

Lea took the beast skin dress reluctantly but did not wear it. Instead, he wiped Gu Mengmeng’s nose, wiping her small face clean, not bothering about the nosebleed that had dyed his dress, making it look like he was on his period…

“Mengmeng does not like Nina.” Lea said as he tied his beast skin dress, “I don’t like whatever Mengmeng doesn’t like.”

Elvis was silent, then he sighed, “I don’t like her either.”

Suddenly, the three of them looked at one another and laughed simultaneously.

Obediently, Gu Mengmeng took the initiative to help Lea tie up his beast skin dress, trying to ignore the period-looking blood stains. She patted him, gesturing him to sit down, which he did accordingly.

Gu Mengmeng stripped off a piece of beast skin, biting on it while holding Lea’s silver hair, taking a strand behind each ear and tied them together. Then, she turned the ponytail inward, forming a simple hairstyle. Gu Mengmeng ran in front of Lea to take a look, then nodded with satisfaction, “I was just thinking about how this hairstyle would suit you yesterday. It showcases the heyday of your beauty without looking overly intentional, you simply look out of this world!”

Lea had never bothered much about his hair, but now that Gu Mengmeng complimented him like that, it made him think that his hair was actually not too bad after all.

With a big smile, Lea poked Gu Mengmeng’s tiny nose, “I knew you were the most soft-hearted. You don’t have to flatter me like this, I will go and treat Nina’s partner. After all, he lives in Saint Nazaire, I won’t leave him stranded as a witch doctor.”

Gu Mengmeng also thought that her flattery was a little too exaggerated, but love is blind, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Isn’t there no fixed way to compliment your own boyfriend? Who can control the subjective consciousness of a girl experiencing her first love?

Lea stood up, pulling Gu Mengmeng’s tiny hands, reluctant to part with her, “I won’t bring you there with me since I know you don’t like Nina. Later, let Elvis pluck some fruit for you to fill your tummy. When I’m back, I will help you to bring some water shuttles, alright?”

Gu Mengmeng recalled Elvis’ “shocking” cooking skills, nodding sympathetically, “Alright.”

Lea pulled Gu Mengmeng’s tiny hands to his lips and gave it a kiss, before turning around to take his leave.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward, with Gu Mengmeng and Elvis being the only two left in the cave.

Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat “Then, I’ll be going to the stream to take a bath. Do you want to come along?”

Elvis nodded and carried Gu Mengmeng towards the stream.

It was only when they reached the stream when Gu Mengmeng realized that the clothes she was wearing was different from one one she wore when she returned from Sandy’s. She tilted her head and asked, “These clothes…”

Elvis replied, “I changed them.”

The second half of Gu Mengmeng’s sentence stuck in her throat, and was turned into an “Oh.”

Gu Mengmeng did not dare to look back at Elvis after she answered, and could only squat beside the lake, splas.h.i.+ng cold water on her face.

She could not put into words the weird sense of uneasiness in her heart, but there was a voice inside that kept on praying for Elvis to not say anything.

However, it was clear that Gu Mengmeng did not burn her joss sticks regularly, so the G.o.ds clearly had no intention of protecting her…

“So have you come to a conclusion, regarding what I said previously?”

Elvis eventually spoke up. The previous question only consisted of three words… “What about me?”
