Chapter 1334: A Guardian Within The Winds And Snow
Lea laid beside Gu Mengmeng and played with her hair. “How could you possibly be an embarrassment? You don’t know how adorable you were last night…”
Lea couldn’t help smiling at that. “Next time I am in a bad mood, I will get you drunk. All my worries would disappear when faced with your drunkard antics.”
What in the world did she do last night?
She had no impression at all.
Elvis and Lea were purposely teasing her. The more she asked, the more they refused to say. They just grinned at her in a manner that gave her goosebumps.
But this bout of heavy drinking was not without its benefits.
At the very least, after this drunken episode, Gu Mengmeng seems to have pushed the troubling matter of Miranda to the back of her mind.
The first snow fell on the 10th day after Wabei left. Gu Mengmeng laid in front of the window to watch Sauder gradually turn into a lovely snow-covered fairy tale-like wonderland…
And then the window was completely sealed off by the snow. Apart from the howling winds, nothing else could be heard.
She naturally didn’t know about that bird soaring at 6,000 kilometers above ground—how focused he had to be to be able to see that tiny image of her through the layers of strong winds and falling snow. Only when the snows completely covered up his view of her did he reluctantly leave. However, he suddenly turned back again halfway and landed outside her window. He folded back his wings and laid in the snow like an army general facing death with bravery and dignity, allowing the drifting snow to gradually bury him alive.
He could hear her cheerful voice through the light rustling sounds of snow. It was better this way. He could be closer to her when she couldn’t see him.
A vulture suddenly burst out of the snow and spiraled high into the skies. He wanted to watch over her. Even though she didn’t need him to do that, even though she didn’t know he was doing it—he had to do something for her in order to calm his restless heart.
If he made himself tired enough, he might be able to sleep tonight…
Gu Mengmeng was totally oblivious to the ongoings outside the stone castle. Because of her, stray beasts did not dare approach this area, making her feel very safe. After all, other than stray beasts trying to snatch food from the tribe who else would be out in this weather?
Propping her cheek on one hand, Gu Mengmeng tapped against her own face with one finger. “Do you feel that Cole has been too quiet this past year?”
“Isn’t it good that he isn’t bothering you?” Lea answered Gu Mengmeng as he took out another animal skin to make her bed even softer. After that, he placed her onto the bed and added. “Winter just started and there was a cold snap. Don’t catch a chill and fall sick.”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t object and let Lea carry her onto the bed. Meanwhile, Elvis sat behind her and reached out to pull her into his arms.
“It’s not that it’s not good. But you know he hates seeing others happy… so this sudden change in that perverse nature of his…. I feel uneasy when he is not stirring trouble for me. Look, Chixuan and Kanwu made a special trip down here just to warn me to be careful. But apart from throwing that Miranda at us, Cole didn’t do anything else. And that Miranda was so easily imprisoned by us, to be sent away next year… we managed to resolve that issue so effortlessly. It doesn’t seem like Cole’s style?
Lea shrugged. “Perhaps he is busy trying to find a way to lose his stray beast status and didn’t have the time to stir trouble? After all, it is a huge challenge for him to fall in love with a female.”
