Gu Mengmeng, herself, did not even know when she slept.

She forced herself to open her eyes when the dryness in her throat was too much for her to bear. She then realized that her eyes were so swollen until they looked like peaches and only a tiny slit could be opened.

Elvis sent the water cup to Gu Mengmeng’s mouth and Gu Mengmeng took it before drinking in large gulps without hesitation. Elvis was scared that she would choke, so he patted her back lightly.

When Gu Mengmeng finished drinking her water, she returned the water cup back to Elvis. Then, she did not say anything and just stood up to head outside.

Elvis pulled onto Gu Mengmeng’s wrist and said, “Are you still going to look for him?”

Gu Mengmeng knew that the ‘him’ Elvis said referred to Lea. Just thinking about this name made Gu Mengmeng’s heart ache badly. She was not confident that she could see Lea and listen to those heartless words again. Thus, she shook her head to deny.

Elvis heaved a sigh of relief and exerted less strength on his hand.

He did not want to see the heart-wrenching look on Gu Mengmeng again.

Elvis stepped a step forward and pulled Gu Mengmeng in for a hug, saying, “Your skin on your legs is wounded so you can’t walk properly for the time being. Where do you want to go? I’ll bring you there.”

Gu Mengmeng looked down at the soles of her feet. A big piece of skin was scraped off and even exposed the blood inside the flesh, appearing to be very miserable.

But, why didn’t she feel any pain?

Oh, maybe there’s a limit to one’s pain receptors? Everything’s concentrated at her chest and she could not seem to feel… other parts of her body.

However, Gu Mengmeng did not reject Elvis’s suggestion. The hydrated throat enabled her to speak with some force but her voice was unimaginably hoarse. Every word she said made her feel as if small blades were cutting her throat.

“I want to go to the lake, the first place I met you.”

Elvis did not know what Gu Mengmeng wanted to do. To be honest, he did not understand most of the things Gu Mengmeng did. However, to Elvis, as long as Gu Mengmeng did not cry, he would not object to anything she wanted to do.

Thus, Elvis took a thick beast skin and wrapped Gu Mengmeng up. Although winter was not here yet, the weather has already became cold. He could not let his Xiaomeng freeze even a little.

Gu Mengmeng did not resist and let Elvis settle everything of herself.

Until Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng to the lake where they first met, Gu Mengmeng, who was silent throughout the entire journey like a doll, finally had some form of reaction.

The corners of Elvis’s lips curved slightly upwards, and he pointed to the lake and said, “That day, you were standing there with half your body in the water. The water droplets reflected off your face, and you looked like an elf that has lost her way, making me step closer uncontrollably while being afraid of alarming you. Then… you actually kissed me.”

Elvis was immersed in the memories. Clearly, not much time had passed but coming back here again, he felt as if a generation was over.

Gu Mengmeng wanted to come down from Elvis’s embrace. Elvis did not stop her and placed her down as she wished.

Gu Mengmeng ignored Elvis’s words or should I say, she ignored everything else.

Gu Mengmeng walked to the lake and as she walked, she took off the beast skin Elvis wore on her. Until the end, only that bikini she was wearing the first time they met was left on her body.

She stopped by the lake and turned around to look at Elvis. She said to Elvis while giving a small smile, “I’m sorry, thank you, goodbye.”

After she finished speaking, Gu Mengmeng leaned backwards and fell into the water, splattering huge waves of water in all directions. Gu Mengmeng curled herself up and held her breath, forcing her entire body to sink under the water.

She wanted to go back, go back to the place she belonged, where there was no bloody night campfire party, no distorted outlooks of marriage, no Elvis, no… Lea.
