Chapter 970: Peter’s Peculiar Vibe
Lea was unable to speak. He felt as if someone was grabbing him by the throat and stuffing his lungs with endless cotton wool. But he didn’t want to worry Gu Mengmeng, so he squeezed her wrist to indicate that he was still alive.
Gu Mengmeng closed her eyes and went entirely by feel. She held Lea’s face and planted a deep kiss on his lips.
Subsequently, Lea felt the tightness around his throat gradually loosened, while the stuffiness in his lungs slowly dissipated, leaving only a faintly sweet sensation spreading across his chest.
After some time, Lea took the initiative to let go of Gu Mengmeng, before planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. He said with much tenderness, “I am fine now, don’t worry.”
The ache on her ear had disappeared while Lea’s tone was calm. Only then did Gu Mengmeng stop worrying.
Wabei’s voice cut through the white mist. “Someone fainted here. I don’t know who it is. Let me pick him up.”
After hearing Wabei’s news, Gu Mengmeng once again did a roll call. Only Leonard didn’t respond so it was probably him who Wabei had picked up.
Gu Mengmeng felt rather fretful. Hence, she looped one arm around Elvis’ neck and used the other to hold onto Lea tightly. Only then did she feel more at ease.
They walked along for a long time, but couldn’t see an end to this white mist. Worried that Lea couldn’t bear it, Gu Mengmeng asked, “Do you feel any discomfort?”
Lea used his other hand to gently cover the top of Gu Mengmeng’s hand. “No, I am very well now.”
There was no forced tone in Lea’s voice, which made Gu Mengmeng feel much better. So she asked Elvis, “Hubby, what about you? Any discomfort?”
Elvis wanted to say he was fine but had previously promised never to hide anything from her again. Hence he answered honestly, “I have some difficulties breathing and feel strangely agitated. But it is still bearable.”
Gu Mengmeng knew that if Elvis said he could bear it, he definitely could. But why make him suffer if she could make things more comfortable for him?
Hence, Gu Mengmeng gently kissed Elvis on the lips. That soft kiss dispelled the cloudy feeling in his chest. The faint sense of agitation also gradually faded away.
After walking for goodness-knew-how-long, Elvis suddenly stepped out of the white mist into a glaring bright light.
Before Gu Mengmeng could react, Elvis had already pressed her face into his own chest and whispered by her ear, “Slowly, it’s very glaring to the eyes.”
“Mmm.” Gu Mengmeng gradually adjusted to the bright light while nestled in Elvis’ chest. She slowly opened her eyes, until she was completely adjusted to the new surroundings. Only then did she look up from Elvis’ embrace.
She took a headcount. Wabei was carrying an unconscious Leonard in his tail, while Elvis and Lea had been by her side the entire time. Peter was standing a slight distance away, with his head lowered and features obscured. One could feel a peculiar vibe radiating from him, it felt like… he was being very jittery?
“Peter, are you alright?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Peter clenched his fists and kept his head lowered. He kept silent for a long while before finally nodding.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t say anything more but just shot Wabei a look, indicating that he should keep an eye on Peter.
