Elvis heaved a sigh of relief, because he was supposed to say what Gu Mengmeng had said, but after some hesitation, it sounded like he was criticizing her no matter which way he put it, and he did not want to find fault with her.
Gu Mengmeng said it out herself, but Elvis felt his heart ache slightly.
He hugged Gu Mengmeng while saying, "Lea is different from Barete. I know, you like him."
Gu Mengmeng turned around to look at Elvis, "You keep encouraging me to accept Lea, aren't you jealous at all? Are you even worried that I would have a change of heart?"
Elvis thought about it seriously, nodding, "Worried, of course I'm worried. When you were dating him, you did not even notice me, and every day was painful for me. However, because I felt that pain, I do not want you to experience the same thing. Since you like him, then just be together. I have a request, that is... don't let his imprints appear on the pit of your stomach, or else, I might not be able to take it."
Gu Mengmeng sighed. She didn't even know how to respond to Elvis' magnanimity.
After some thought, she replied, "How about, we get Lea to leave before the winter. Then no one would know that he stayed in our cave for so long."
Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng and smiled, "Seems like Momnesia is real."
"Grr..." Gu Mengmeng glared at him and Elvis immediately shut his mouth, changing his words, "You forgot that Ian from the eagle-owl tribe once came to our cave. Although the sense of smell of the Birds tribe are not as good as ours, but they have extremely good vision. It is said that nothing escapes their sight. He stood at the entrance of the cave for so long that day, he probably found out that Lea was staying here long ago. Unless Lea and I take this opportunity to kill all 32 people in their tribe, not leaving any alive, we won't be able to keep anyone from the fact that Lea stayed over the winter."
Gu Mengmeng bit her bottom lip and became silent.
As she looked up again, she stared helplessly at Elvis, "I just wanted him to save you then, so I didn't think twice when he requested to stay with us. I didn't know things would turn into this... I..."
"Even if we joined hands, it is almost impossible to kill 32 eagle-owls at once. Don't forget, they know how to fly. Once they are in the sky, we can't do anything about them." Lea had appeared at the entrance of the cave without them knowing, tilting his head looking at Gu Mengmeng and Elvis, having an ambiguous expression, causing them not to know whether he was smiling or not.
Feeling very guilty, Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, "Lea, I'm sorry..."
Lea walked a few steps forward, squatting down while hugging his knees, looking into her eyes at her eye level. His long and narrow eyes were full of affection and sincerity, his furry tail wiggling behind his back. His and Elvis' tail both shone under the light, one black and the other white. The two white fox ears atop his head, posing like a goblin yet having an untainted fairy-like appearance, clean like a gust of wind from the winter, so cooling that people dared not breath, in fear that they would pollute the air.
"I said before, rather than an apology, I would like to hear you confess." Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng seriously, smiling gently yet causing heartache."I have tried very hard to not cross the line for you to not dislike me. No matter how much I want to embrace you, I can only hug myself like this. I want to kiss you, but I can only look at you from afar, feeling satisfied that I can do anything for you. However, if this still means that you do not allow me to stay..."
