Collin was taken aback by Gu Mengmeng’s sudden warm hug. His body froze like a wooden stick being nailed on the spot, unable to move and all he could hear was his heartbeat deafening to the extent of stirring the death and enlightening the blind.
Sandy stared at the agitated Gu Mengmeng by the side and then glanced at Collin. Recalling Collin’s undaunted and courageous look last night, she sighed deeply, suppressing the slight jealousy in her heart.
Without doubt, such an outstanding male like Collin should pursue a perfect female like Gu Mengmeng, how could he ever like a half-orc like her? Witnessing Collin’s great efforts last night, Sandy had already guessed it. The slight chance left at the end was merely having to battle Elvis and Lea. There was a possibility that Gu Mengmeng would even take Collin into account.
But looking at it now… the way they hugged each other looked like a match made in heaven.
Sandy forced her smile. After all, today was the first day her only best friend, Gu Mengmeng, became an adult.
If Collin could become Gu Mengmeng’s partner on the first day she started her family, even if his t.i.tle could not match up to Elvis’s or Lea’s, he would not be bullied by others in the future.
That was great too.
Thinking about it, Sandy smiled and walked towards them, giving her heartfelt blessings, “Gu Mengmeng, congratulations on becoming an adult. Elvis, Lea and Collin are all great males. I believe they will take care of you well in the future.
“Huh?!” Gu Mengmeng was petrified on the spot, as if she was being struck by lightning.
Gu Mengmeng could understand if she mentioned Elvis and Lea since they were her G.o.dfather and G.o.dmother and they were considered as family. But what has this got to do with Collin?
Seeing a bunch of question marks all over Gu Mengmeng’s face, Sandy hesitantly pointed at the two of them who were still hugging together, “Didn’t you decide to take Collin in as your partner?”
Gu Mengmeng followed the direction Sandy was pointing to with her chubby little hand and looked down at herself. After realizing what she was doing, she then released Collin abruptly and pushed him away fiercely. However, Collin was not pushed that badly and instead, Gu Mengmeng staggered two steps backwards due to the counterpressure from overexertion. She shook her head and waved her hand while walking to Sandy. Holding onto Sandy’s plump little hand with both her hands, she looked like a wife who was trying to prove her innocence after being defamed for having an affair as she explained,
“No no! Mating or what is impossible! I just thought Collin died because of me last night so I was very guilty. When I saw that he was well, I was just too happy. This has nothing to do with taking him in as a partner or not.”
“But you hugged him.” Sandy looked at Gu Mengmeng, her eyes filled with puzzlement.
The females in the Beast World were very precious, so they were protected by the males. To put it bluntly, they were spoiled till they became arrogant and willful. No matter how much the males risked their lives through immense dangers and difficulties for them, they would treat it as what the males ought to do and would not be grateful to them nor care about whether they are alive or dead. Anyway, males were all around, if they die, their ability was to be blamed! Regarding this point, just look at Nina.
Their own males may not even get a hug just because they were still alive, not to mention other males.
Wasn’t it because he was already a chosen partner when a female acted this agitated and concerned?
Gu Mengmeng shook her head till it resembled a rattle drum and explained urgently, “Do you know that I came from the outside? Over there, friends could care for and hug each other. All of that is very normal. Some even kiss each other when they meet. This has nothing to do with engagement, it’s just a way to show manners and to be friendly.”
