The third day, Elvis’s cave was broken into again.
Wrapping herself with a piece of hide, Gu Mengmeng went out and saw Lea sweeping the snow off his body with his furry tails under the clear moonlight. The moment he saw Gu Mengmeng, the snow fox turned into a human, while his hairy big tail and a pair of adorable fox ears remained.

Mengmeng, I’m back.
Lea’s smile was even brighter than the moonlight. He stamped a few times at the entrance to shake off all the remaining snow on his body, but raised his hand to stop Gu Mengmeng from approaching.
Go and wait inside first, I will come in when my body is warmed by the fire,
he said.

It’s alright, I don’t feel cold.
Gu Mengmeng said as she walked to Lea and held his hand. Together, they walked deeper into the cave. Gu Mengmeng said,
Elvis was just talking about how we have finished all the food you’ve. If you still don’t return, he will have to cook himself. Hey, just think about his cooking skills…

Lea did not utter a single word, he just followed behind Gu Mengmeng quietly and let her hold on to him.


Everything felt like a dream.
During these three days, he had searched for food edible for her day and night. Every time he was about to freeze to death, he would tell himself that Mengmeng was still waiting for him and he had to make it back alive.
But when he really saw her waiting for him, he was in disbelief.
Is Mengmeng… no longer angry at him?
He dared not to ask this question.
He did not even dare to make any noise, afraid that all these are just the illusions he sees as he was about to freeze to death in the snow. The moment he pops this phantom bubble, he would be left to the death rhapsody of howling winds and icy snow.
Being able to see this sight before dying… He decided to forgive all the Beast Deity’s cruelty in the past because of this moment’s kindness.
In the inner part of the cave, Elvis was mixing food in the pot. He looked up at Lea and said,
I would believe that you have died outside if you have not made it back.

Lea smiled faintly and did not answer.
Pulling Lea to the fire pit and signaling him to sit down, Gu Mengmeng took a piece of hide for him to wrap himself up. She said,
You must be tired from the three days outside. Eat some food and have a good rest after this, we will talk about anything tomorrow.



Elvis clapped his hands to signal that the food were done heating. He then took the largest bowl and filled it up for Gu Mengmeng, before taking two small bowls for Lea and himself. Elvis handed over the bowl to Lea, but Lea did not take it. Elvis frowned.
Do you expect me to feed you?

Lea smiled suddenly, carefully taking the small bowl and tasted it.
Yes, this illusion is so real, even for the temperature and taste.

Wah…
Gu Mengmeng had only taken a month before she started vomiting suddenly. She kneeled at the bedside and vomited till she could not straighten her back.
Elvis immediately put his bowl down, patted Gu Mengmeng’s back and looked back at Lea whom had a foolish smile on his face.
Did the cold make you an idiot? Quickly get some water!

Ah, he felt so happy being able to do a small favor for Mengmeng before he died.
Lea nodded and went to take Gu Mengmeng’s cup while smiling. He filled a cup of warm water from the stone pot at the side and passed it to Elvis. But Elvis was too anxious when taking it and his nails accidentally cut into Lea’s finger.
Blood… Bleeding?
And it feels a little… painful?
So… this isn’t an illusion?
