Chapter 923: Unmentionable
Gu Mengmeng started bleeding from the nose.
Not because of Lea’s teasing, but because…
The three of them were in a rather… mmm… unmentionable position.
Elvis and Lea were both tall and muscular. She was nestled in Elvis’ arms while Lea had plastered himself onto her.
Either Lea or Elvis could easily cover her in entirety. No one would be able to see even a strand of her hair.
Hence, from most angles, it looked as if Lea was coquettishly snuggling against Elvis’ chest and murmuring. While Elvis, who was actually looking downwards at Gu Mengmeng, appeared to be gazing dotingly at Lea…
F***.
Gu Mengmeng was once again reminded of that misunderstanding when she was first transported over…
Lea and Elvis didn’t know what she was thinking, but they panicked when they saw her nosebleed.
Without another word, Elvis dashed out the door with Gu Mengmeng while Lea followed close behind.
If not for the fact that Cole was a fifth-level beast, he might not have even see how the two had suddenly disappeared.
What… happened?
Cole didn’t know what was going on but he stood up and followed Elvis and Lea outside.
There were no streams around Sauder, so Elvis had to run a bit further before finally reaching one. Without any hesitation, he jumped in with Gu Mengmeng in his arms.
Gu Mengmeng was dumbstruck the entire time. She didn’t know why Elvis was sprinting and had to keep her mouth shut against the headwind. When Elvis finally stopped, she didn’t have the time to utter a single word before the two of them were submerged in water. She ended up gulping down a mouthful of water and couldn’t stop coughing.
Soon after, Lea stroked her back to soothe her coughing. He asked with much concern, “How are you now? Do you feel better after steeping in the stream waters?”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes were tearing up from all that coughing. She was totally unable to reply Lea’s question.
After she finally stopped coughing, she looked wide-eyed at Elvis and Lea, who were both staring at her as if she had contracted a terminal disease. “Who can tell me… what happened?”
Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng’s chin and stared at her nose. As he looked at that bright red trickle snaking down her face into the corner of her mouth, he felt as if a hundred thousand needles were stabbing into his heart
Gu Mengmeng tasted blood and touched her lips to see blood on her fingers.
She was momentarily stunned, before asking, “Don’t tell me the two of you were so anxious because I had a nosebleed.”
Both Elvis and Lea nodded solemnly under Gu Mengmeng’s dismal gaze.
Gu Mengmeng was completely speechless. Ignoring the two of them, she pinched her nose with one hand and used the other to sprinkle water over her forehead and nose bridge.
After she had kept her head tilted back for awhile and made sure that the nosebleed had stopped, she finally lowered her head back down. She wanted to berate Elvis and Lea, but faced with their panicked eyes, she swallowed her words. She lifted her own nose to show them that she was fine. “I am fine now. It has stopped bleeding. Look, it’s alright now.”
Two pairs of eyes stared unwavering at Gu Mengmeng for a long while, before two extended exhales could finally be heard.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. Bloody massacres were a common scene to these two, who would not even blink at the sight of their own flesh rupturing. And yet the two of them had nearly gone mad at her simple nosebleed. It was truly baffling.
But also very heartwarming.
