“Revenge?” Gu Mengmeng did not understand why and asked, “For who?”
“We never asked each other this question, but both knew that there were someone to take revenge from in our hearts.” Elvis paused, before continuing, “Now it seems like the person Lea wishes to seek revenge from must be Sauder.”
“What about you?” Gu Mengmeng continued to ask.
Elvis looked down at Gu Mengmeng’s sapphire eyes flickering with the reflection of the fire, resembling the starry sky. Elvis could not take his eyes off her, he rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s head lightly and said gently, “Now, I can’t even remember what I was resenting, all those are insignificant compared to you.”
Gu Mengmeng felt warm, she smiled, “I’m honored to be able to accompany you overcome the unhappy past. In the future… we will be happier.”
Elvis nodded with tenderness in his smile. He lifted Gu Mengmeng’s chin and landed a kiss, said, “So, don’t ever leave me. I… I don’t want to go back again.”
“Okay,” Gu Mengmeng nodded and kissed Elvis back.
Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng and put her onto his lap. With his chin resting on her head, he looked at the burning fire pit and slowly opened his mouth, “I don’t know what Sauder’s men had done to Lea, But I know that Lea’s hatred towards them is unquenchable. His plan of forming Saint Nazaire… was never a rushed decision from the start.”
Gu Mengmeng was momentarily stunned, “You mean, from the start Lea had wanted to form a strong tribe to compete with Sauder, for revenge?”
Elvis nodded slowly and said, “Meeting me was a turning point, his plan was slowly formed after that. I didn’t know why he placed me in such an important position and did not become the leader himself. With his abilities, he should still be able to achieve his goal without me. I asked him this question before, his answer was… I resembled a more live person than him.”
Gu Mengmeng could not really understand what this meant, she wanted to look up but Elvis stopped her head from moving. He fiddled with her hand and continued, “That sounded strange, right? I had occasionally recalled this sentence in these few years, but still could not comprehend it. Until I met you, I witnessed what’s meant by being ‘alive’. Can you imagine? Before he met you, Lea’s expression only consisted of smiling and never once did it change. Whether it was facing unreasonable females or opponents that were strong, despicable or weak, that was his only expression. Nobody could read his mind from his expression, not even… me.”
“But after meeting you, there was light in his eyes, his smile started to represent emotions. I could even see jealousy in his eyes… just because you neglected him when playing with Sandy. He slowly resuscitated from an empty shell to a lively person. That was when I realized, he probably said that sentence because I would at least show ‘disgust’ or ‘impatient’ to some things, while he… did not even have such feelings.”
