When Gu Mengmeng woke up in Ervis's arms the next day, it was already noon.
Leia arranged for everyone to hunt, and then demonstrated cooking techniques, asking each family to send the most knowledgeable person to learn how to barbecue.
Males don't have to eat every day; one meal usually lasts several days. Moreover, eating is relatively crude, so they are dealt with directly in the wild during the hunt, and then the better meat is brought back for the females to eat. So in the end, eighteen females gathered around a fire, watching their partners grill themselves.
Anyone who can get close to a female is the first mate, except Ervis.
Gu Mengmeng turned around and looked at Ervis secretly, feeling a little pitiful for him. Everyone else was gathering together with their families, but Ervis was the only one sitting alone next to seven or eight parcels, with a hand in his hand. Holding an animal horn, he carefully carved and polished it with his claws. Focused like... autistic children.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and said, "You guys eat first, I'm not hungry."
Just as he was about to stand up and look for Ervis, Leia grabbed his wrist. Leia was sitting by the campfire, holding a barbecue branch in one hand and holding Gu Mengmeng's wrist with the other. He looked up at her and said, "Just once, stay with me..."
Gu Mengmeng looked at Leia and then at Ervis. Ervis had heard the movement here and stopped what he was doing and turned to look here. After a moment of silence, Elvis lowered his head and continued carving the horn, seemingly acquiescing to Gu Mengmeng to stay with Leia.
Leia suddenly let go of her hand, lowered her head, and said with a wry smile: "After all, I can't compare to him. He always thinks about you, but I always make it difficult for you... In the final analysis, I am too selfish."
Gu Mengmeng sighed and finally sat down.
Leia looked at Gu Mengmeng in shock, and then smiled like a child.
Gu Mengmeng pointed to the barbecue grilled on the fire and said: "I want to add chili pepper and brush it with honey! Two layers, two layers!"
Leia nodded, the corners of her lips were always raised, and there was a hint of blur in her eyes.
Gu Mengmeng turned sideways slightly and leaned on Leia's shoulder. She held a bowl of honey water in her hand and drank it in small sips.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, this is just a pet animal competing for favor with his first friend, but the first friend is too generous to care about him. But Gu Mengmeng knew how brave Leia was during her time in Sioder. Even if his heart was made of stone, I'm afraid it would have been ground into sand by the past events one after another. What's more, he was just Just a vixen.
He needed warmth, comfort, and someone to support him and allow him to breathe.
He knows better than anyone else that even if he is sitting next to Gu Mengmeng and grilling the females with other females' first partners, his identity will never change to Ervis. He will always be the "self-proclaimed" pet beast. Ya, Gu Mengmeng never acknowledged his identity as a pet animal except when defending him in front of outsiders.
But even if it was Huang Liang Yimeng, he still desperately wanted to seize this illusory happiness.
Just once, let him take care of her openly like a partner, just once...
Many females didn't know why, so they followed Gu Mengmeng's example when they saw him eating barbecued meat and chili peppers. The result was as you can imagine... The males were in a mess, trying to imitate Gu Mengmeng and get a bowl to fill with water, but they could just make a stone. Where can I get the bowl in time? So they all turned into beasts and ran desperately towards the water source with their own females on their backs.
