Chapter 257: Is There Any Point In Doing This?

Whatever happened between Elvis and Gu Mengmeng just now, Lea heard it all clearly and he also knew why Elvis got smashed by a potato. Looking at the bruise on Elvis’s nose bridge, Lea sat down cross-legged and glanced at Gu Mengmeng, saying innocently, “Are you talking to me now?”
Gu Mengmeng knew what Lea meant, but she felt awkward and uncomfortable, especially calling the once special name in front of Elvis. Gu Mengmeng felt that 502 was being applied on her lips but looking at Elvis’s swollen nose, she could only suppress her unwillingness and speak quietly, “Daddy Lea, please take a look at Elvis’s nose.”
Lea dug his ears wickedly, implying that he did not hear her clearly because his ears were not clean enough. Then, he looked up at Gu Mengmeng while sitting in a well-behaved position, “What did you say just now? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her teeth and repeated herself at the top of her voice, “Daddy Lea, please take a look at Elvis’s nose.”
Lea then stood up in satisfaction and walked to Elvis with his arms folded. He leaned his body forward and checked Elvis’s nose seriously. After looking for quite some time, he sat back at his original seat and said, “Alright, I’m done looking~”
Gu Mengmeng deeply felt that she was holding back a burst of blood in her chest and was ready to spew it onto Lea’s face entirely. But she was the one begging for his help so she reduced her pride and cleared her throat, putting on a smiley face while saying, “Daddy Lea, don’t just merely look at it. You’ve to treat it. Elvis’s the tribe leader of our Saint Nazaire, as a wolf, how can his nose be ruined?”
Lea sat at the spot without moving a single inch as he just said, “I can treat his nose but you’ve to sing a song for me first.”
Gu Mengmeng pulled onto Lea’s arm and said, “Treat Elvis first, I’ll sing a song after you’re done.”
Lea let Gu Mengmeng pull and tug onto him but he did not move at all. He said with a wronged face, “That can’t do it, you promised me three conditions previously when you wanted me to treat his back and in the end, you only accomplished one condition to let me stay in here. Let alone singing for me, you didn’t even acknowledge my presence these few days. If Elvis did not hurt his nose, I don’t know when I can hear you call me ‘Daddy Lea’ again. No no, if you don’t sing me a song first, I won’t treat him and his nose can continue staying swollen.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her teeth and forced a smile, asking, “Is there any point in doing this?”
Seeing how Gu Mengmeng was so unwilling but could not do anything about him, Lea nodded his head seriously.
Gu Mengmeng sighed and took a step back, saying, “You treat Elvis’s nose while I sing, deal?”
Lea thought for a moment and said, “Alright.”
After Lea finished speaking, he stood up and found some herbal medicine from the beast-skin bag he brought along. Holding it in his hands, he turned back to look at Gu Mengmeng, obviously to imply that if she did not start singing, he would not treat Elvis.
Gu Mengmeng was unable to do anything and thought to herself to just sing for him. Luckily, he did not insist on Gu Mengmeng to sing ‘My Little Happiness’ because other songs did not give her such a heavy mental load like that song.
After clearing her throat, Gu Mengmeng started singing A-Lin’s ‘Now, I’m Very Happy’ in a soft voice. After she finished singing the line, “You’re not like him, he never lets me cry”, she changed the original lyrics “However, the more I want to devote myself into, the more I feel unfamiliar. No matter how tightly I embrace, still I could not stop the warmth that was flowing away” to “So I devote myself more, bearing in mind forever, tightly embracing him, giving him all of my true intentions and warmth”. This change made a song that was originally recalling the memories of an ex-boyfriend to become a song that was bidding farewell to the ex-boyfriend and cherishing the people in front of her.
