  Gu Mengmeng eyes watered, looking as if she didn’t quite understand what Snake meant.

  Snake smiled while pinching Gu Mengmeng’s little face, saying, “So, I had been freed from the shackles. To me, death means that my happiness has just started. Twomeng, I left everything to you not because I want you to live on my behalf. I just want you to live well for yourself.”


  “Don’t complicate your life with all your messy memories, just live your life like how you want. Smile if you’re happy and cry if you’re sad. If anyone dares to bully you, just hit them back. If anyone dares to plot against you, just torture them to death. This is the reason why I left everything to you.”


  “My Twomeng still suits this heartless personality best.”


  Gu Mengmeng’s nose felt sore as she punched Snake’s chest and questioned, “Are you complimenting me? Why does it sound so awkward?”


  Snake held onto Gu Mengmeng’s little fist, holding it inside his hands carefully and delicately, as if he was appreciating a precious art piece. He looked at her hand seriously and in detail, as if he wanted to remember every single line on her hand. Then, he said, “I don’t have much time left so you’ve to remember clearly every word I say.”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded as she clamped her lips and kept quiet to listen to Snake’s confession.

  “After I injected my abilities into your body, I’m able to share all your memories. I know that you’ve always treated me as a friend and not as a male from the start to the end. Although it’s quite regretful, it’s too late to change anything already. In that world, after I found you, I will never let these kinds of things happen again.”


  Gu Mengmeng raised her head and looked at Snake with shining eyes, confessing, “Snake, I like you.”


  Snake was taken aback for a second before he broke out into a smile and said, “My Twomeng is so gentle and soft-hearted. I clearly know it’s fake but I still have to thank you for telling me this.”


  Gu Mengmeng shook her head, wanting to explain herself.

  However, Snake did not give her the chance as his body started to become transparent. Snake quickly made use of the time to leave his last words, “You’re Gu Mengmeng, not Snake. Regardless of whether it’s the Snake King Valley or Wabei, none of them are your responsibilities. You don’t have the duty to act as my replacement in front of them. Just live your life well and use my strength to……protect yourself……”


  “Twomeng……I like you……”


  “Twomeng……thank you……”


  “Twomeng……goodbye……”


  “Twomeng……I……”


  Snake completely disappeared in front of Gu Mengmeng and no matter how much she tried to reach out for him, she could not catch even the slightest sight of him. Her chest tightened until she could not breathe as she squatted on the ground, wailing loudly.

  Did she not like Snake? Did she only treat him as a friend?

  Yeah, that moment before she shared her memories with Snake, she only treated him as a friend.

  But after that, when she got hold of Snake’s memories, she clearly knew how much Snake liked her and cherished her. The scenes of every good thing he did for her started replaying in her mind like a destined parting movie. The sweeter they were, the more sorrowful the ending was.

  Gu Mengmeng plopped down on the ground and shouted at the top of her voice, “Snake, it’s not that I don’t like you! I just……don’t have the chance to tell you! I like you! I like you! I like you!

  A warm hand was placed on Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder. She was crying until she could not lift her head up so the owner of the hand squatted down and used a squarish white silk handkerchief to wipe her tears away, comforting her at the same time, “Child, don’t cry. Snake didn’t disappear, he just went to another world to find you.”
