The power of this sentence was almost comparable to the nuclear bomb that was dropped on Hiros.h.i.+ma, immediately making Elvis lose all his intellect.

He looked down with his numbed neck at the blus.h.i.+ng little girl in his arms. The eyes that had tears in them moments before were like the washed sky, clean and clear. She just looked back at him with that small face and called his name.

This sentence, he thought he would never hear it in his entire life.

Elvis was overjoyed, he felt that all the beautiful words in the whole world could not describe how happy he was right now. He hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly, before condensing his feelings into a simple ‘Thank you’ after a long while.

Gu Mengmeng rubbed her small head against Elvis’s chest to find a comfortable spot, she smiled and muttered, “Why are you thanking me… Idiot.”

“Thank you for willing to stay in Saint Nazaire, thank you for willing to let me take care of you, thank you for… liking me.” Elvis felt like a stone in his heart had just fall to the ground slowly. It was pressed against his chest before this, although he did not really feel uncomfortable, he was a lot better now that he let it out.

“Xiao Meng, are you hungry? I will go and get some food for you?” Elvis patted on Gu Mengmeng’s back and asked.

“Erm… I don’t want to eat.” Gu Mengmeng whined and closed her eyes, feeling her eyes was a little dry and it was stinging. She felt dizzy and sleepy.

Elvis noticed Gu Mengmeng’s oddness. Using his hand to touch her little face, Elvis noticed that the redness on her face was probably not due to shyness, but… fever?

Elvis became anxious suddenly, he patted Gu Mengmeng’s face lightly and said, “Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, don’t sleep first, don’t sleep first, alright?”

Gu Mengmeng was not pleased with Elvis interrupting her sleep and wanted to scold him but did not have the strength to. She whined and turned her head back into Elvis’s arms, cuddling into a ball like an unweaned puppy in its mother’s arms.

Elvis was regretting his decision of bringing Gu Mengmeng out to play with the snow, which must have been the reason she had caught a cold. After they returned to the cave, he immediately started a fire and put on lots of hide to break into a sweat, but he could not control himself and kissed her, scattering the hides on her at some point of time. After that, he broke apart the snow blocking the cave, while letting the cold winds gush into the cave, making her cold again.

Elvis almost wanted to run into a wall and kill himself, he made Xiao Meng ill due to his negligence.

“Don’t be afraid, don’t be, I will bring Lea over, everything will be alright.” Lea did not even know himself, whether he was saying these to comfort Gu Mengmeng or himself.

He wanted to place Gu Mengmeng by the fire pit before finding Lea, but Gu Mengmeng hugged onto Elvis’s waist tightly, not letting go of him. He wanted to get out, and she immediately turned into the almost crying expression.

Elvis was so anxious, he comforted Gu Mengmeng and said, “Be good, wait for me here, just for a while.”

But Gu Mengmeng pressed her face against Elvis’s chest and frowned, “Don’t leave me… don’t leave me… I beg you…”

Elvis was at a loss of what to do. He could not dash out with Gu Mengmeng in a fever, nor could he forcefully pulled her away from him. If it was any other time, he could have howled in the cave to pa.s.s the message to Lea. But now that the snow had sealed off the mountain, even if his voice could penetrate through the snow outside the cave, it would be covered by the howling winds.

What could he do? What could he do?!
