Chapter 158: Why Not Me?

Gu Mengmeng froze while washing her face. She pressed her lips together, looking into the water for a while, before finally deciding to face it.

Shaking off the water droplets on her hands, Gu Mengmeng stood up and faced Elvis, frowning subconsciously. She did not know why, but she felt guilty towards him.

Yet, isn’t it useless to escape from something that you are supposed to face? Moreover, she had nowhere to escape to.

“Elvis, I know you treat me very well, but I really cannot accept you.” Gu Mengmeng inched closer to Elvis, stopping three feet away. Raising her head, she said cautiously and seriously, “I know this is Saint Nazaire, and this place does not follow the rules in the world I came fro. I am willing to try to do in Rome as Rome does and accept the customs here, but I really cannot accept… things like polygamous relationships.”

Elvis stood rooted to the ground, like an iron sculpture. After looking at Gu Mengmeng for a while, he asked, “Why not me?”

Gu Mengmeng remained silent for a moment. Right, why not Elvis? He was the first person she met. When they first met, she mistook him for a dream. It was that much beyond one’s grasp, that much dream-like. She hugged and molested him, and had memorably said, “I will not be responsible for this”. It was just a joke then, but looking back, it seemed like it was destined to be.

Elvis was strong and was extremely good towards her.

But on the contrary, her heart leaned towards that flirty snow fox.

Many things just cannot be explained. Gu Mengmeng sighed helplessly, “How are there “Why”s when it comes to feelings? Are you able to say clearly, your reasons for liking me?”

Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng silently, not speaking for a long time.

Gu Mengmeng smiled lightly, “Is it because I’m prettier than the other females here? However, no matter how good the visuals are, I will still age. Is it because I’m more knowledgeable than the other females here? However, even if I do not mate with you, I will still pass on the knowledge I possess to the people of Saint Nazaire. Sooner or later, everyone will learn the things I know. Then, will I still be special?”

Elvis is not Lea, neither can he express himself as eloquently as Lea can. But he knew that Gu Mengmeng was wrong. Even if she ages one day, or if she becomes ordinary, he was absolutely confident that he would still love her as much, or even more.

Gu Mengmeng wanted to continue saying something, but Elvis took two steps forward and embraced her. His voice was deep and husky, with a tinge of loneliness and pleading, “I won’t fight for the position of first partner with Lea, I just want to stay by your side.”

Gu Mengmeng pushed Elvis, but couldn’t make him budge. She wanted to speak, but Elvis did not give her any opportunities to.

“You have a special identity, and Lea simply cannot protect you all by himself. You need more, stronger partners, not only myself, and Lea knows this as well.”

Before Elvis finished, Gu Mengmeng retorted, “I’m different from the other females here, I’m not one to sit and wait for others to protect me.”

Elvis was startled, with a slight disappointment.

That’s right, she is a messenger of the Beast Deity, different from the other females who can only wait for males to protect them.

While Elvis was zoning out, Gu Mengmeng took the opportunity to slide herself out of his arms. Taking two steps back, she said “I will move to Lea’s cave when he returns later. I have troubled you all these while, thank you for taking care of me.”
