Elvis started the fire again and replaced the stone pot containing the ginger water with a bigger stone pot. He dug a lot of snow and boiled it in the pot until the water became warm. Then, he started to wipe Gu Mengmeng’s body for her.
She clearly looked like she was dead tired and no matter how Elvis moved her around, she did not show any intention to wake up.
Elvis was afraid that she would catch a cold again so his actions were speedy and nimble.
After Elvis wiped her clean, he immediately huddled into the blanket to hug Gu Mengmeng in his arms, using his own body temperature to keep her warm.
He could hear Gu Mengmeng’s stable breath by his ear and also smell the dispirited mood after all the pleasure earlier. His desire that finally ceased all activities seemed like it was going to make a comeback so Elvis shut his eyes tight because he knew that Xiaomeng could not stand a second round of suffering again. She had to rest, rest well.
After every breath, Elvis managed to forcefully control the situation with his rationality.
He poked the little girl in his arms lightly and his gaze landed on her collarbone. Elvis’s gaze became hot but gentle and it was a whole tenderness that could melt anything but still keep her warm at the same time.
Until Gu Mengmeng finally woke up, she felt that her entire body was aching as if she was run over by a truck. Gu Mengmeng supported her waist that felt as if it almost broke and groaned out loud, not able to say anything else.
Elvis gave a bowl of warm water to her at the right time and said, “Moisten your throat, it’s hoa.r.s.e after all the screaming.”
Being reminded by Elvis like that, her mind started playing that happy scene which resembled a movie and she could not shut it off at all.
Gu Mengmeng truly wanted to find a crack on the floor to hide herself in and become an earthworm. This was so d.a.m.n shameful.
Elvis used his arms to wrap Gu Mengmeng up in an embrace, letting her rest onto his arms so that she need not exert so much energy to support her aching body. Gu Mengmeng’s back was leaning against Elvis’s chest while Elvis sent the warm water to her mouth by extending his arm across her chest, saying, “I tested it, the temperature is just nice. Do you want to drink a little?”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to take the bowl but Elvis dodged her and pecked her face, saying, “I have the right to take care of you now. You can’t push me away, get it?”
“I’m not used to being fed by someone,” Gu Mengmeng said with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
Elvis nodded his head and placed the bowl to his own lips. He drank a mouthful of water, then used his other hand to pinch Gu Mengmeng’s chin, sending the water into her mouth after pressing his lips against hers.
Gu Mengmeng’s face flushed red and she choked on her own saliva, coughing a few times. She glared at Elvis while wiping the water by her mouth, asking, “What are you doing?!”
Elvis answered with a ‘as a matter of course’ expression, “You’re not used to being fed like this so I changed it into a way that you’re more used to.”
Gu Mengmeng straightened her neck and retorted, “I’m not used to this way even more!”
Elvis patted her tiny head in a pampering and affectionate way, “Just slowly get used to it.”
Gu Mengmeng choked but looking at Elvis now, she could not lose her temper so she thought to herself, “Wait till the feeling of my waist aching and my legs cramping is over, look at how I will set some rules for you.”
But on the surface, she was still hanging her head cowardly as she said, “Just use the bowl to feed me, I think I’ll get used to this even faster.”
Elvis smiled and did not say anything, placing the bowl next to Gu Mengmeng’s mouth. Gu Mengmeng used her hands to hold the bowl out of instinct but Elvis pecked her on the cheek again, taking her by surprise as she hurriedly placed her hands down and obediently stay fed by Elvis.
