Arhwoo~
Gu Mengmeng could almost hear herself howling like a wolf in her heart.
Resist, she must resist!
Gu Mengmeng endured her heart beating too fast from the teasing, she pursed her lips and replied, "I'm alright, you can let go of me."
Lea's slender fingers hooked her chin lightly, as though he was deep in thought, but he kept quiet. He led her face to tilt to the direction of the green-eyed males down the platform, away from his own face, before turning her chin back and said with a half smile, "Sandy might not be able to protect you."
What the heck!
Tens of thousands of alpacas dashed across in Gu Mengmeng's mind.
What was going on? Are the werewolves collectively transforming under the full moon? How did all the honest-looking handsome men just now turned into the beasts in the zoo staring at the zoo-keeper with their food?! Unfortunately, Gu Mengmeng herself was equivalent to the food!
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She circled her arms around Lea's neck instinctively and struggled more into his arms. She couldn't care less about which aunt anymore, her life was more important.
Gu Mengmeng's movement of such an extent had made the fragrance spread even thicker. Lea that was hugging onto Gu Mengmeng was undoubtedly affected.
His heart was pounding, once, twice, strong and forcefully.
This distant feeling made Lea frowned, though it was unnoticeable to everyone, except Elvis.
"Not getting down?" Lea shifted his attention to Gu Mengmeng, making himself seem no different from normal and not letting anyone noticing his oddness.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head violently.
Getting down, are you kidding me?! Damn, she could foresee that once she left Lea, these green-eyed creatures were going to tear her apart and gobble her up, not even leaving behind bones.
Lea smiled in satisfaction looking at Gu Mengmeng's reaction.
Slowly yet swiftly getting up without any extra movements, he supported Gu Mengmeng's little butt with one hand and his other hand was loosely hanging at the side. To prevent herself from falling, Gu Mengmeng had to circle her arms around Lea's neck without relaxing at all.
Their faces were next to each other and Lea was distracted by Gu Mengmeng's smooth skin and sweet scent. Although he was doing his best to control his emotions, he had revealed too much ambiguity in his tone.
"Do you want to go back to Elvis's place, or mine?"
Gu Mengmeng's heart skipped a beat.
The more dangerous the outside world was, the more tantalizing the ambiguity was.
Gu Mengmeng buried her entire face into Lea's neck and hence did not see Lea's breath almost stopping from being at a loss of what to do at her little acts.
"Bring me to Leader then, he will protect me."
I can also protect you!
This sentence had almost slipped out of his mouth, but Lea had stopped it at his throat. The sentence, having gone through a few changes, finally turned into a single 'alright'.
Lea walked past Elvis and their eyes met. Many years of braving countless dangers together had brewed the connection between them which allowed for silent conversations.
Tonight, the campfire celebrating Gu Mengmeng's adulthood would definitely be interesting.
But the final winner could only be the two of them.
Elvis and Lea walked side by side, protecting Gu Mengmeng whom was hiding in Lea's arms like an ostrich. They walked past the eager males and no one dared to do anything under their strong pressure.
On the other hand, Barete stared at the figures of them leaving and punched onto the ground of the Platform of the Deity's Punishment. The stone cracked, while his fist was full of blood.
