Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 451 - Just Accompany Me, Once

Chapter 451: Just Accompany Me, Once

When Gu Mengmeng woke up in Elvis’s arms the second day, it was already noon.
Lea arranged everyone to hunt while he demonstrated his cooking skills after asking every family to send out a male with the highest level of comprehension in order to learn how to roast meat.
Males did not need to eat everyday because one meal normally could last them a few days. And moreover, the way they ate appeared more rough so they just directly settled their meals straight after hunting their prey before bringing back the better meat home for their females. So, 18 females ended up surrounding a fireplace while watching their own partners roast meat for them.
Those males who could step in front of the females were all their First Partners, except for Elvis.
Gu Mengmeng turned behind to take a peek at Elvis. She found him a little pitiful because everyone gathered together in big families while he sat beside seven to eight packages alone with a beast horn in his hands. He used his claws to carve and polish it in utmost cautiousness and was so focused until he looked like an…..autistic child.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and said, “Go ahead and eat, I’m not hungry.”
Just as she wanted to stand up and find Elvis, Lea grabbed her wrist tightly with one hand. With his other hand holding a tree branch with roasted meat on it, he sat beside the campfire and looked up at her, saying, “Just accompany me, once…”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea, then glanced at Elvis. Elvis had already heard the commotion so he paused his hand movements and turned his head to look over. Remaining silent for a while, he then lowered his head and continued carving the beast horn, as if he consented Gu Mengmeng to stay by Lea’s side.
However, Lea released her and hung his head, giving a bitter smile. “Eventually, I still can’t win him. He always spares a thought for you while I always put you in a spot… to put it simply, I’m just too selfish.”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and eventually still sat down beside him.
Lea stared at Gu Mengmeng in shock and then smiled like a kid.
Gu Mengmeng pointed at the roasted meat on the fire and ordered, “I want chili and also honey! Two layers, two layers!”
Lea nodded, the corners of his lips curving upwards all along and his vision became a little blurry.
Gu Mengmeng turned her body slightly to the side and lied on Lea’s shoulder, holding a bowl of honey in her hands while sipping it in small mouthfuls.
Maybe, in other people’s eyes, this was just a beast pet fighting for favor with the First Partner and the First Partner was magnanimous enough to not haggle over it with him. But Gu Mengmeng knew how hard it was for Lea to put on the fake front when in Sauder and even if his heart was made up of stone, it would still be molded into sand by those pasts and to make it worse, he was just a siren.
He needed warmth, he needed comfort he needed someone who could support him and let him breathe.
He was clearer than anyone else that even if he was the one sitting next to Gu Mengmeng together with those First Partners, roasting meat for their females to eat, his identity would never become Elvis, he would always be that ‘self-called’ beast pet Lea. Besides defending himself against others, Gu Mengmeng would never admit to his beast pet identity.
But even if this was a wish that could never be fulfilled, he was eager to grab onto this imaginary happiness.
Just once, let him take care of her openly like a partner just once, just once would do….
Many females could not understand. Upon seeing how Gu Mengmeng added chili to her roasted meat, they learned from her but as what everyone expected…..the females were all muddled up. They wanted to learn from how Gu Mengmeng used a bowl to contain water but how could they be in time to make a stone bowl now? Thus, they all evolved into their beast forms and rode towards the direction of the water source on their males with all their might.
