“I didn’t mean it, Lea… Sorry.” Gu Mengmeng felt a sense of guilt, she did not know her thoughts would make Lea so upset.

Lea turned and stared into Gu Mengmeng’s eyes, he said, “Rather than apologies, I want to hear your confession, you… knew.”

Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Sorry.”

Lea heaved a long sigh and did not continue. He adjusted his emotions and changed the subject to the strange female.

“It would be a two day journey from here to Sauder. We don’t know what the female is up to and we have to be cautious. Especially Mengmeng… you have to avoid approaching her like today.” Lea looked at the wound on her knee, frowned and continued, “Don’t make yourself injured again, or else I… We might become mad.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “Be rest assured, I will protect myself. I was just thirsty for some acting today and played around with her.”

The three males looked at Gu Mengmeng blankly, not knowing what she was talking about.

Gu Mengmeng’s mouth twitched and she said, “It seems like males in whichever time and space are rookies in terms of identifying bitches.”

Gu Mengmeng turned her head, looked at Elvis and asked, “Didn’t you realize she was acting weak, innocent and pitiful from the start when she came in?”

Elvis shook his head and replied, “I didn’t notice…”

Gu Mengmeng let out a cold laugh and said, “Ha, efforts wasted on acting.”

Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and boosted her spirits like she was going on stage for a speech. She raised her head high and said, “When she was brought in today, she pulled your hide dress, right?”

Elvis was shocked and he said, “I just threw the hide dress into the fire pit, you saw it.”

Gu Mengmeng patted his shoulder and signaled for him to stay calm, before continuing, “I only asked you who she was, but before you could even reply me, she jumped out and explained hurriedly ‘you are really wronging me, there’s really nothing between me and the Leader’, right?”

The way Gu Mengmeng pitched her voice to act like the female was a little hilarious, but none of the trio laughed. They recalled for a while but still could not remember, so they said faintly, “It seems… like it?”

Gu Mengmeng sighed again, “Her efforts on acting was so wasted, nobody saw it except me.”

The three males looked at each and they listened attentively to Gu Mengmeng’s analysis like listening to an old driver talking about the years he drove and encountered accidents, before driving and encountering accidents again as the cycle repeated itself.

Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat and continued, “This is a common opening remark used by ‘green tea bitches’. It seemed like an explanation, but it was deliberately trying to raise misunderstandings. Together with the innocent, scared look and how she held onto Elvis’s dress, I would be easily suspecting something already happened between Elvis and her in the forest.”

Elvis felt a chill down his spine and he immediately exploded, “Xiao Meng, I swear, I didn’t… I… I, I…”

Gu Mengmeng cupped onto Elvis’s face with both her hands, landed a quick kiss on his lips and said, “I know you didn’t, I trust you.”

Elvis heaved a long sigh and finally felt relieved, he said with fear still lingering in him, “Then why did you say my heart had changed? I was so scared that I almost open my chest and show you that you are the only one inside.”
