Chapter 1083: I Will Hold You Until You Feel Like Getting Up
Gu Mengmeng squatted by those grapes. She reached out to pick one and held it to her lips.
Elvis nimbly snatched the grape over with his tongue before eating it himself.
After a couple of chews, he said,
Tastes very bland but it was indeed picked by Chixuan. But since it was Cole’s men who delivered it, we must still be careful. You can only eat this if I am still fine by nightfall. Understand?

Gu Mengmeng said in exasperation,
Have you forgotten that I possess Snakel’s venom. I am the most poisonous person in the entire Beast World. No other venom can harm me. So even if it is poisonous, the venom would be counteracted by Snakel’s.

Elvis tapped Gu Mengmeng’s little nose.
Being too fearless can sometimes lead to one’s downfall. Lea and I cannot afford to take even the slightest bit of risk.

Gu Mengmeng was frustrated but had no choice.
These two were overly protective of her. They could not bear to see her suffer even a tiny scratch.
And she rather enjoyed such sheltering. So she didn’t offer further argument. She just had Elvis put her down, and then asked him and Lea to carry those grapes into the cave.
Gu Mengmeng was still drowsy. Since those unwelcome guests had been chased off, she headed back into the cave to continue sleeping.
She slept all the way till the afternoon.
Worried that she might be hungry, Lea entered the cave after preparing the food. He laid beside Gu Mengmeng and brushed her arm gently with his furry tail. Gazing warmly at Gu Mengmeng’s guileless little face, he couldn’t help giving her a gentle peck. He whispered tenderly by her ear.
Mengmeng, I am so bored… stop sleeping and open your eyes to look at me, mmm?


Mmm…
Gu Mengmeng grunted. She instinctively hugged Lea’s tail and turned around, snuggling right into his chest.
Lea’s embrace was fully occupied by Gu Mengmeng, and his heart felt likewise filled to the brim.
His voice softened and became like a whispering breeze.
He drew elegant fingers through Gu Mengmeng’s hair. Her fine, black hair was as smooth as silk, and twirled around his fingers softly.

Alright. I will hold you until you feel like getting up…
He kissed the top of her head before chuckling.
I really can’t win you.

Perhaps Lea’s gaze was too searing or maybe Gu Mengmeng was already fully rested—she lifted her face after snuggling for a moment longer. Her eyes had yet to open but a sweet smile was already blooming across her face. Still sounding a little husky and lax from the last vestiges of sleep, she said,
Morning…

It was just one word but it raised the corners of Lea’s lips. He pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose.
I was afraid you might be hungry and made some breakfast for you. But I also want to let you sleep in my arms for a little while longer. I am really being tormented by you.

Gu Mengmeng smiled as she buried her face into Lea’s chest. She nuzzled for a moment before saying,
Mmm, I am really hungry.

Lea lifted Gu Mengmeng up from the bed and carried her out of the cave.
I have already prepared the food, just waiting for you to wake up.

Gu Mengmeng was still hugging Lea’s tail. Freshly woken, she was like an angel exuding a warm and radiant glow—completely different from the angry little demon earlier this morning.
Lea had just set Gu Mengmeng down when she noticed a long stone table and six stone stools positioned right outside the cave. The tabletop was flat but had an unpolished feel. It was obviously newly-constructed and had never been used before.
