Elvis was silent and did not answer.
Leia took a deep breath, and then asked proactively: "She doesn't want to see me?"
In fact, Leia heard everything Ervis said to Gu Mengmeng in the cave.
Even the sound of her sobbing and shaking her head was clearly heard by him.
Ervis nodded invisibly, his lips pursed into a straight line.
Leia smiled, and said bitterly but with a hint of relief: "I don't want to see you... Fortunately, she doesn't want to see me."
Ervis looked at Leia in confusion, without saying a word, only asking what Leia meant with his eyes.
Leia breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "She doesn't want to see me because she still blames me. She still blames me... at least it means that she has me in her heart."
Ervis didn't quite understand Laia's logic, so he only told the story of Gu Mengmeng being soaked in cold water, and then his own method of handling it. Leia nodded and said: "You handled it very well. When I came here, I asked Bode to boil a pot of water and add a lot of yellow roots. Sandy will bring it over in a while. You coaxed Mengmeng to , drink more.”
Elvis nodded in agreement, then looked at Leia and said, "Then you..."
Leia waved her hand and said: "The most urgent thing is that you get married with Mengmeng before the cold. Only after you successfully become Mengmeng's first partner can I tell Mengmeng the truth and find a way to ask for her forgiveness." .”
Ervis: "Are you sure she will forgive you?"
Leia shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No, I am just betting. In her heart, I am more important than the principle."
Ervis sighed and said: "Why did you choose Nina in the first place? If you choose Sandy, when you explain it to Xiaomeng in the future, there will be someone who can help you speak."
Leia shook her head. He said: "How can I let her lose her lover and a good friend at the same time? She likes Sandy so much. When she is sad because of me, Sandy can accompany her. It’s always good.”
Ervis was silent, standing there not knowing what to say.
Leia pointed to his leg with her chin and asked, "How did you explain your injury to Mengmeng?"
Ervis's expression dimmed and he whispered: "She didn't ask any questions, so I didn't give an explanation."
Leia patted Ervis on the shoulder and said, "Show up the same momentum that you fought for me that day. I don't hesitate to put myself in such a situation, not just to see you helpless in front of Mengmeng."
Ervis was silent, he had nothing to say.
In fact, he doesn't mind that he is not Gu Mengmeng's first partner, nor does he mind that Gu Mengmeng likes Leia far more than him. As long as he can stay by Gu Mengmeng's side to take care of her, protect her, and watch over her, that's enough. But the monogamy that Gu Mengmeng insisted on forced him to have no way out. He didn't mind being left out and wronged, but leaving her and losing her was a bottom line that Elvis could not touch. This was the only thing he couldn't agree to.
That's why he went to Leia that night to decide who would protect Gu Mengmeng in the usual way of males in the beast world.
He won, but seeing Gu Mengmeng so sad and miserable because of Leia's departure, Ervis had been asking himself for the past two days, was he wrong? He probably... shouldn't win.
Leia and Ervis have been friends for many years. They have fought side by side and gone through life and death so many times that they have a very deep understanding of each other.
Even when Ervis said nothing, Leia knew what he was thinking.
"There is no need to feel guilty. It was my decision to lose to you. We all know that this is the best choice, right?"

Seeing Ervis hugging Gu Mengmeng and leaving, the smile on Leia's face gradually solidified. He frowned in disgust and ordered in a cold voice: "Get your dirty hands off."
Nina, who was proudly hugging Leia's waist, was stunned by Leia's roar. She looked up at Leia dully, only to find that his eyes were still staring at the direction where Gu Mengmeng disappeared, not even a corner of her eye. No portion for myself.
"Let me hear you express your opinions casually in front of Mengmeng again. I don't mind if there are three females in Saint-Nazi." As Leia said, she took out an animal skin rope from her waist and tied it behind her ear. The two long strands of hair were tied up and then folded inward. This was a hairstyle that Mengmeng praised and she said it looked good.
"Leia! How can you talk to me like this? I am the Nina who wants to marry you!" Nina shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Getting married?" Leia sneered, "Are you worthy?"
Nina looked at Leia's heartlessly leaving figure, her expression extremely twisted with resentment and jealousy.
