Gu Mengmeng chuckled delightfully as she stretched her hands out to catch a snowflake. The snow did not melt immediately in her hands and only started melting into water slowly after three to five seconds. That water was extremely crystal-clear and emitted a gorgeous halo when the sunlight was refracted from it.

Gu Mengmeng laughed sneakily before rubbing her two hands together, smearing the icy cold water droplets on her palms. After her palms became cool, she abruptly placed her hands on Elvis’s neck as swift as a sudden clap of lightning and waited in surprise for Elvis to stamp his foot from the cold.

However, when she looked up, she met eyes with Elvis’s devoted eyes on her.

Her figure was clearly reflected in those blue eyes. It was as if everything in the world was pale without any meaning other than her.

This gaze stirred up Gu Mengmeng’s feelings, and she retracted her hands back, laughing awkwardly, “Why aren’t you scared of the cold? You’re not fun at all.”

Elvis patted her head and answered, “I’m a wolf.”

After he finished speaking, he carried Gu Mengmeng back into the cave. Gu Mengmeng had not finished playing, she acted shamelessly by saying that she wanted to build a snowman or engage in a snow fight. However, Elvis did not listen to her and said that if they did not go back any sooner, the entrance of the cave would be sealed by the snow and they would not be able to go back even if they wished to.

Although Gu Mengmeng felt that it could not be this exaggerated, but when she turned her head back, she noticed that the snow had gotten heavier suddenly. The rate of the fall of the snowflakes were not so beautiful as before and instead, gave off an outrageous aura. Gu Mengmeng did not create a scene anymore and just cuddled up obediently in Elvis’s arms, letting him carry her into the cave.

Elvis had already stored firewood in the cave long ago. The amount of firewood that could last them through the entire winter was calculated by Lea and it was enough for Gu Mengmeng to stay warm and cook her meals.

Now that the weather has become shockingly chilly, the firewood could come in handy.

Elvis brought the old clothes Gu Mengmeng wore before from the cave besides theirs and lay them on the ground, piling them layer by layer to form something like a cattail hassock. Then, he placed Gu Mengmeng on it and lifted the beast-skin on her that had snow on it to roast it on one side before wrapping her up again with a dry beast-skin.

All these actions came so naturally and proficiently that even Elvis was taken aback by himself. Only a little more than a month had passed, and he was getting handier and better at taking care of Gu Mengmeng.

“Elvis, how did all of you survive through winter when there’s no fire in the past?” Gu Mengmeng held a wooden cup in her hands. That wooden cup was filled with hot water that Elvis gave her just now.

Elvis took a clean snow from the entrance of the cave and placed it in the stone pot to continue cooking while replying to her, “Lie in the cave and try not to move.”

Gu Mengmeng found it unbelievable as she smiled while questioning him, “Do you wolves hibernate too?”

Elvis shook his head and replied, “I don’t hibernate.”

Gu Mengmeng said, “Then, why don’t all of you build a larger cave so that everyone can live together. It’s great to chat with one another too. Winter is such a long season, it’s so lonely to be all by yourself.”

Elvis paused his actions and then slowly answered her, “If we stay together, under the situation of food shortage, it’s very hard to control our primeval instincts. We don’t want to hurt our tribesman.”

Gu Mengmeng was shocked, and she thought for a moment before understanding what Elvis meant about them treating their tribesman as food under extreme hunger… so to prevent this kind of situation from happening, they then spend the endless and torturous winter in their own caves?
