Elvis paused, before staying in that position for a long time quietly.
The cave was so silent that they could only hear one another’s heartbeats and breathings, apart from the branches crackling in the fire.
Gu Mengmeng stared directly into Elvis’s sapphire eyes, without looking away or talking. She needed to know the answer, if not she could not hand over herself just like that.
Elvis took a deep breath, barely managed get up from Gu Mengmeng’s arms. Then, he helped her up, tidied the hide on her and wrapped her up again.
Elvis remained silent, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
The cave was sealed off by the snow, as what Elvis had said before, but it was not firm enough and fell apart with Elvis’s punch. Elvis turned into a wolf and stood against the freezing winds like a statue with his back facing the entrance.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis quietly and smiled wryly.
So, this was his answer? If she did not want to mate with him, he… was going to leave her too? In this cold winter, he was going to leave her in this freezing cave by herself and eventually die, wasn’t him?
Gu Mengmeng wrapped the hide around her even tighter. She stared at the fire pit in front of her as tears trickled down her face.
She did not know why she was crying, but she simply felt indignant and uncomfortable.
“Why are you crying?” Elvis’s voice was heard from above. Frowning with heartaches, he carried Gu Mengmeng up and carefully wiped her tears away, before comforting her, “Did I scare you? Don’t be afraid, don’t be. I won’t force you to do anything that you don’t want to. I will wait, wait until you are finally willing.”
Gu Mengmeng cried even harder. She clung onto Elvis’s neck and whimpered, “I thought you are leaving me here alone…”
Elvis was stunned, he had never imagined a day where Gu Mengmeng would be crying at him leaving.
With a wry smile, mixed with a little happiness, Elvis felt an unexplainable sense of helplessness and he said, “I just wanted to calm myself down in the wind. Why would I leave you alone? You are my Xiao Meng.”
Indeed, Gu Mengmeng had not dated anyone before getting together with Lea, but she definitely had heard about relationships. There were so many web fictions in the present world and they served as the introductory lecture for sexual education to her. She clearly knew what Elvis meant by ‘calm myself down’. Blushing, Gu Mengmeng wiped away her tears, sniffed and asked, “You won’t leave me even if I don’t want to mate?”
“I will wait, wait until you are finally willing.” Elvis dried her tears gently, before hugging Gu Mengmeng in his arms, not sure if he was comforting Gu Mengmeng, or using this a way to comfort himself.
Gu Mengmeng cuddled in Elvis’s arms. Listening to his heartbeats, she had never felt so at peace. Gu Mengmeng bit her fingers and asked softly, “Then what if the moment never come? What if I am unwilling to mate forever, what are you going to do then?”
“Then I will continue to wait and wait. I don’t care as long as you don’t leave me.” Elvis voice was extremely calm and monotonous, unlike the way guys coax women to sleep with them and it was something he was saying from deep down in his heart. It was convincing and assuring.
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath, looked up and kissed Elvis on his chin. She squinted her eyes and said, “Elvis, I think… I probably like you.”
