She didn't know when Gu Mengmeng fell asleep.
It was only when the dryness of her throat forced her to open her eyes that she found that her eyes were swollen into peaches and could only open a crack.
Ervis brought a water glass to Gu Mengmeng's mouth, and Gu Mengmeng took it without hesitation and drank heavily. Ervis was afraid that she would choke, so he patted her back gently.
Gu Mengmeng finished drinking the water, returned the water glass to Ervis, then stood up and walked out without saying a word.
Ervis grabbed Gu Mengmeng's wrist and said, "Are you still going to find him?"
Gu Mengmeng knew that the "he" Elvis mentioned must be referring to Leia. Just thinking of that name made Gu Mengmeng feel sour in her heart. She had no confidence that she could see Leia again and hear those heartless words again. So he shook his head and denied it.
Ervis let go of his hand for a long time, and then the strength in his hand relaxed a little.
He didn't want to see Gu Mengmeng's heartbreaking look yesterday again.
Ervis took a step forward, held Gu Mengmeng in his arms and said, "Your feet are worn out and you are not suitable for walking at the moment. Where are you going? I will take you there."
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head and looked at the soles of her feet. The large areas of broken skin were bloodshot and looked quite miserable.
But why doesn't she feel pain
Oh, maybe the human body's sense of pain is limited, right? Everything is concentrated in the heart, and other places... can't feel it.
However, Gu Mengmeng did not reject Ervis's proposal. Her throat after drinking water could barely speak, and her voice was hoarse. Every word she spoke felt like she was cutting her throat with a small blade.
"I want to go to the lake, the place where I first met you."
Ervis didn't know what Gu Mengmeng was going to do. In fact, he couldn't understand what Gu Mengmeng did many times. But for Ervis, as long as Gu Mengmeng doesn't cry, he has no objection to whatever she wants to do.
So Ervis took a piece of thick animal skin and wrapped it around Gu Mengmeng. Although the cold season had not yet arrived, the weather had turned cold, and he couldn't let his little cutie freeze.
Gu Mengmeng did not resist and let Ervis take care of everything on her body.
It wasn't until Ervis carried Gu Mengmeng to the lake where they first met, that Gu Mengmeng, who was as quiet as a rag doll along the way, reacted.
The corners of Ervis's lips were slightly raised, and he pointed to the lake and said: "That day, you were standing there, half of your body in the lake, and the water light reflected on your face. You looked like a lost elf. I couldn't help but get closer, but I was afraid of disturbing you. And then... you actually kissed me."
Ervis fell into memories. It had not been long ago, but when he came back here, he felt like he was in another world.
Gu Mengmeng was about to get off Ervis's arms, but Ervis did not stop her and put her down according to her wishes.
Gu Mengmeng ignored Ervis's words, or in other words, she ignored anything.
Gu Mengmeng walked all the way to the lake, taking off the animal skin that Ervis was wearing on her body as she walked. In the end, she was only left with the bikini she was wearing when they first met.
She stopped by the lake, turned around and looked at Ervis, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said to Ervis: "I'm sorry, thank you, goodbye."
After saying that, Gu Mengmeng lay on her back and fell backwards. Huge water splashed, and Gu Mengmeng curled up and held her breath, forcing herself to sink downwards.
She wants to go back, to the place that belongs to her, without bloody bonfire parties, without distorted marital values, without Ervis, without... Leia.

Does anyone want to know what Leia did and said after Gu Mengmeng came out of Nina's house? If anyone wants to read it, I will write a small branch for you.
