212 I Might, like You

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.
