nLea used his quivering voice to say, “In my name, I pledge to the Beast Deity, in this lifetime, I’ll devote my loyalty to you. From today onwards, you’re my only god, my life, my everything.”

nGu Mengmeng’s body was frozen till she could not move at all and her breathing became more difficult so struggling was just an absurd thought.

nShe thought that she shed enough tears for Lea, she thought that she would not cry for Lea again. But now, her eyes were red from his words.

nLea walked towards her slowly and finally pulled her tightly into his arms again. That warm feeling made him feel as if his skin was being burnt. Pain, a pain that made one suffocate. The blood in his entire body seemed like it solidified at that moment and his eyes, nose, mouth and ears, all his sensory organs were concentrated on her tiny figure, not anywhere else.

nLea buried his head into the pit of Gu Mengmeng’s neck, his voice shaking without control. No matter how much he wanted to maintain the smile that she loved, he could not do it. He added, “You thought that the words I said previously are all lies? I was never ‘someone else’s male’, never, Mengmeng, I beg you… please take back at least this sentence, alright?”

nGu Mengmeng wiped the tears off her face willfully and stepped harshly on Lea’s feet in an attempt to force him to release her.

nLea groaned but his hands did not move a single bit. He was still hugging tightly onto Gu Mengmeng, stubbornly unwilling to let her go.

nShaking, Gu Mengmeng breathed in two deep breaths and opened her mouth to speak after much difficulty. She said every word and sentence clearly, “Whether you’re someone else’s male doesn’t matter to me anymore. Because… I’m already someone else’s female. This point has already become a fact and we can’t change it.”

nPain! Every cell in his body was wildly transmitting pain messages. Lea’s natural instinct on seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages pushed him to turn behind and escape but both his legs felt like roots were grown on them and he could not move them even an inch.

nDid not want to let go, he did not want to let go!

nBecause he knew better than anyone else that after he let go, how much regret, suffering and death he would be in.

nHe would rather be in agony and rather be put to death by her words that were like fatal sharp knives than release her and finish his life in endless regret.

n“If I ‘don’t matter’ to you anymore, then… take me in.” Lea brushed his hair against the pit of Gu Mengmeng’s neck gently and used his face to feel her skin and body warmth. He desperately wanted to prove that he was hugging the real Gu Mengmeng and that it was not a hallucination from his groundless imagination from countless moments without her.

n“Elvis took care of me really well and I’m in a lot of happiness now. Since we were once in love, please maintain a manner that an ex-boyfriend should have and don’t disrupt my life anymore.” Gu Mengmeng struggled once more but Lea seemed like he was determined not to let her go even a little bit.

n“No, I don’t want manners! I want you!”

n“You can’t have me!” Gu Mengmeng howled out at the top of her voice, “Don’t act like you’re a prodigal who’s more precious than gold after you return. I tell you, I, Gu Mengmeng, would never touch something someone else touched before.”

nLea shook his head and abruptly turned Gu Mengmeng’s body to face his. Only unease and earnest begging were left in his pair of eyes that was usually filled with tenderness. He could not ignore the dense feeling in them and his brows knitted together to form a dead knot. The pain in his chest made breathing difficult for him but despite how much agony he was in, he still tried to smile.

n“Other than you, I won’t let anyone else touch me. This body, this soul and this heart belongs to you as a whole.”
