Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Gu Mengmeng had to admit that Elvis’s medicine was in fact effective. At least Gu Mengmeng, whom had a high fever till she almost fainted, was woken up by this ‘medicine’ successfully after being sick for two hours.

Turning her head, Gu Mengmeng immediately vomited her hearts out until there was nothing else left in her stomach.

Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis’s caring but helpless expression with her watery eyes resulted from the intense vomiting, she forced a smile and said, “It’s just fever, don’t be too nervous, it’s alright.”

“What should I do?” Elvis cupped his hands around Gu Mengmeng’s face and asked earnestly.

Gu Mengmeng pointed to the pot of mysterious mixture, then pointed to her vomit and said, “First, get rid of all these so that both of us won’t be suffocate to death in this cave.”

Elvis dared not to disobey. He put Gu Mengmeng beside the fire pit, on the bed that she had made.

The ‘bed’ was actually two huge logs with the center sawed, combined together and lined with many hides on top. The hides were warm as the fire had been started for a while, so Gu Mengmeng immediately felt much better after crawling into it, she felt less painful, but the sleepiness struck her again.

But Gu Mengmeng was scared that Elvis would be anxious again seeing that she had fallen asleep, then cooking another dark cuisine for her, so she forced herself to stay awake and watched Elvis carefully bringing the pot to the entrance of the cave. Elvis dug a hole in the bottom right corner of the snow door sealing the cave, hesitated and poured all the ginger in the pot into the hole, while picking the fish out and ate it all himself.

Gu Mengmeng asked, “Why are you eating that? Aren’t you scared of having diarrhea?

Elvis used the snow dug out just now to wash the pot and answered Gu Mengmeng, “The food in the winter is too precious, it will be such a waste to throw them away.”

Gu Mengmeng smiled, “Aren’t there a lot left in the cave, those seem enough for us to eat for the entire winter. You don’t have to be so frugal.”

Elvis filled the washed pot with clean snow and put in on the fire to boil water. Then, he dug another block of snow to clean Gu Mengmeng’s vomit, while answering, “Those food are to make sure you won’t starve in the winter, I won’t eat them unnecessarily.”

Gu Mengmeng was stunned, “What do you mean by unnecessarily?”

Elvis buried Gu Mengmeng’s vomit into the pit at the bottom right of the entrance and sealed off the entrance with more snow. After clearing everything, he washed his hands with snow before returning to the fire pit. He went close to the fire, warming and drying his hands and body completely before reaching out to hug Gu Mengmeng.

Elvis’s figure appeared gentle in the orange-red flame, making Gu Mengmeng feel contented. He turned and smiled at Gu Mengmeng whom was lying on the bed looking at him, before answering, “It is necessary only when I will starve to death without eating anything.”

Gu Mengmeng asked, “You mean, unless you are going to starve to death, all the food in the cave are for me to eat only?”

Elvis nodded in all seriousness.

Gu Mengmeng did not know to laugh or cry, she pulled out her hand from the hide and signaled Elvis to come over.

Elvis sat at the bedside and held her hands with warm hands, gently tidying her fringes that were sticking to her forehead with sweat. Heartache was written all over in his sapphire blue eyes.
