Gu Mengmeng used seven days to recover. On the morning of the eighth day, Gu Mengmeng forced herself to accept reality the moment she opened her eyes.

She just loved the wrong person, crying for seven days already showed how useless she was. It was not Gu Mengmeng’s style to live her life so desperately for a male who treated her as a tool.

Clenching her teeth, Gu Mengmeng repeated three lines over and over again in her mind, “I’m fine! I don’t care! I can live life well!”

Elvis noticed Gu Mengmeng’s abnormality once he woke up. This change exceeded his expectation but… why did his chest feel so stuffy until it hurt?

Elvis hugged onto Gu Mengmeng’s waist gently and brought her into his arms out of instinct. He weighed her in his hands and realized that she lost weight again.

He frowned but did not know how to start comforting her.

“Elvis, can you bring me to the lake we first met?” Gu Mengmeng started speaking.

Elvis’s expression froze, his brows forming a dead knot. He asked in a low voice, “You want to sink yourself to the bottom of the lake again?”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head and smiled, “I won’t be foolish over a man for the second time.”

Elvis stared at Gu Mengmeng, half believing what she said as he neither moved nor say a word.

Gu Mengmeng saw that Elvis had lost his trust in her and laughed at herself, then said, “I didn’t intend on drowning myself when I jumped into the lake the previous time. I only thought that since I came from that lake, perhaps I could return from that lake too. But as what the truth had proven this idea is not reliable. That lake seemed like it was only a one-way entrance. If I want to go back, I might have to find other exits.”

“Go…” Elvis repeated Gu Mengmeng’s words with a deep voice. But he had only said one word when he felt that someone was clutching onto his throat. Let alone repeating Gu Mengmeng’s words, he also found it harder to breathe.

Gu Mengmeng tried with all her might to pull herself out from the emotions of falling out of love. Preventing herself from crying again was consuming too much of her energy and she was not in the mood to study Elvis carefully now.

Gu Mengmeng looked down and twiddled with her fingers casually, saying, “Since I can’t go back temporarily, I have to find some ways to live my life at ease. Eating roasted fish and meat everyday is not a plan. Even if I’m not sick of it, my body can’t take it.”

Elvis recalled that the lake was very special because he met Gu Mengmeng there. But besides that, Elvis really could not remember what else was there at the lake.

Gu Mengmeng saw how Elvis was concentrated in his thoughts and could not help but find it pretty funny. He really did not suit this kind of labor that required him to make use of his intelligence. Whenever he pondered over a question, his brows would furrow into a dead knot.

Gu Mengmeng placed her hand over Elvis’s brows gently and said patiently, “I need to take in salt to maintain my health. These few days, I clearly feel a lack in strength and this is the premonition of a lack in salt. If I don’t take in salt soon, my condition will deteriorate and I might not be able to last this winter.”

Once Elvis heard her, he immediately became anxious.

Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’s shoulder, motioning him to relax before she continued, “When I sunk myself in the lake previously, I unexpectedly found out that the lake water was salty. I suspect that it is a salt lake. Bring me there to check it out again. If it’s really like that, I’m saved.”

Gu Mengmeng’s previous action of suddenly jumping into the lake and the sentence she said to him before she jumped created a lingering fear in Elvis’s mind. Elvis did not dare to take the risk and bring her close to it again, especially after knowing that the lake was a passage for her to return to the other world.

Thus, Elvis said in utmost cautiousness, “What does salt look like? Tell me, I’ll bring it for you.”
