Chapter 625: One In A Million
Kanwu jumped into Lea’s arms, “I want to sit with Daddy Lea.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. Clearly Kanwu resembled Elvis the most, but they had the most strained relations.h.i.+p.
Hede pressed his lips together, he wanted someone to hug too, but… why were there not a seat for him?
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, carrying Chixuan with one arm while opening up the other, looking at Hede, “Come, mommy will hug you.”
Hede looked up, smiling, then shook his head, “I am the eldest brother, I can walk by myself.”
He was satisfied, just by not being ignored…
Mommy was already very tired, he could not be her burden.
Gu Mengmeng rubbed Hede’s tiny head, bending down and still carried him up, kissing his tiny face, “Your are the eldest brother to the three of them, but you are also my son.”
With that, Gu Mengmeng felt a weight lifted off her arm, as Hede was carried over by Elvis, and Chixuan by Lea.
Lea had always had good relations.h.i.+ps with the children, it was not weird that he would carry them. However, Elvis had refused to carry anyone other than Jialue, so it made Gu Mengmeng rather surprised that he was willing to carry Hede in his arms.
Elvis cleared his throat, “Your males are still alive, so there is no reason to tire you.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled gently, “It’s just carrying two sons, they are not that heavy.”
Elvis stopped in his tracks, turning around to look at Gu Mengmeng, his mystic blue eyes filled with sincerity as he said each word, “No matter the weight, it should be carried by me.”
Gu Mengmeng did not reply further, because she knew, Elvis and Lea were frantic enough. They were desperate to do anything for her, anything to make her feel better. And what she could do, was to cooperate.
Nodding, Gu Mengmeng had already walked towards the bonfire.
The drum used to help Collin propose had been left in Saint Nazaire, but Lea made another new one after knowing that Gu Mengmeng wanted to hold another campfire and promised to sing for the children. It was basically a replica of the first one, with added improvements in terms of details, making it look much more exquisite than the previous one.
Gu Mengmeng held the drumstick, banging on the drum, the sound loud and travelling far. Upon landing, there was only the sounds of the firewood sparking in the whole parade, for every pair of eyes was fixated on Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath, flipping herself onto the drum, sitting sideways lazily with one foot on the side of the drum while the other sagging downwards.
Her hands gripped on the drumstick, she banged the drum to the rhythm again and again, each sound getting closer to the next, and with the last pound, Gu Mengmeng slowly opened her mouth and sang “Aliens”.
Since only a few exclusive tribes were able to sing in the Beast World, so “Aliens” had become the representative work of Gu Mengmeng, causing fellow tribesmen to feel their blood boiling every time they hear it.
Following Collin’s roar, everyone got so heated they almost lost control.
Subconsciously, Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Chixuan.
He still slept there silently.
Smiling bitterly, Gu Mengmeng’s eyes sagged to cover her disappointment.
She knew too, that Chixuan had been poisoned by Cole, and how could he be awakened by a single song?
She agreed to Hede’s request, because she could tell that the children were trying to find ways to cheer her up.
She could not bear to reject their kind intentions, but eventually thought too much as well.
What if…
What if…
What if Chixuan could really be awakened by a single song, then that would be the greatest pity the heavens could take on her.
However, the possibility of this happening… was one in a million.
