Elvis, who was on the bed, did not give him any response. Luckily, Lea was not expecting his reply as he continued to talk to himself, “I saw those stray beasts run out. They fought with one another because of the unfair distribution of food and in the end, all of them were seriously injured and froze to death outside.”

Lea’s voice was calm, as if he was seriously listening to Gu Mengmeng drinking the soup from afar while talking.

Tenderness was written between his brows and he looked as if he could see through the wall to look at the little girl eating her food.

“It’s impossible for just a few of them to hurt you. So… you must have got injured on purpose to create an opportunity for me, right?” As Lea said, he turned his head slightly to glance over at Elvis. Smiling bitterly, he spoke with difficulty, “Thank you. And don’t worry, there’s nothing left in this world worth for me to give in and compromise in front of Mengmeng. This time, I won’t let her feel wronged again.”

After Lea finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked outside.

Gu Mengmeng had finished her meal, so he was going to keep all the bowls and chopsticks.

And Elvis who was lying on the bed turned his head secretly to face the wall on the other side. Even though he could not see anything, he still did not want to face the scene of Gu Mengmeng acting intimate with someone else.

“Mengmeng.” When Lea walked out, he saw Gu Mengmeng trying her best to dig the snow at the entrance. However, her wound, that took so much effort to apply the herbs on, looked like it was going to bleed again.

Lea grabbed onto Gu Mengmeng’s wrist and frowned while looking at her red fingernails, asking, “Are you trying to distract me so I’ll have no time to take care of Elvis?”

Gu Mengmeng struggled to retract her hand but almost dislocated her own wrist. This forced Lea to let her go and she then placed both her hands behind her and looked away, saying, “It’s just a small wound, it will heal itself without treatment. Just focus on taking care of Elvis, you don’t have to care about me.”

As she said, Gu Mengmeng walked into the cave to put the snow, that took her much effort to dig into the pot. She wanted to melt the snow into water before boiling so that she can wash the bowl she just ate from. However, she had not advanced even a step yet when Lea held her shoulder from behind. He did not hug her but used both his hands to hold on to her shoulders, preventing her from leaving.

“What are you doing?” Gu Mengmeng struggled for a moment but realized that she could not escape at all. Furthermore, she would not get injured from struggling in this posture so she could not force Lea to let go either.

Lea did not answer her and just secured Gu Mengmeng on the spot. He only started speaking when she gave up on struggling, “If you just want to wash the bowl, leave it to me. It’s an unquestionable principle for males to take care of females. You don’t have to hurt yourself from being at odds with me.”

Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes and sn.i.g.g.e.red, “Treating yourself too seriously is an illness , you have to treat it.”

“If you’re not at odds with me, you can just place the cutlery here and wait for me to clean it like in the past.”

Gu Mengmeng breathed in deeply and said slowly, “I don’t have the habit of letting other males take care of me.”

“Mengmeng!”

“If there’s nothing else you want to say, please let go. I still have to go in and take care of Elvis after was.h.i.+ng the dishes.”

Lea could not release his hands.

The touch that he yearned for day and night was finally realized, how could he dare to let go? He was very clear that if he released his fingers by just a tiny gap, she would slip away and the next touch… would be so difficult!
