“You enjoy the bustling noise? Then I shall bring you to Saint Nazaire next time. When the 16 valued females are all gathered…… oh my, the scene was practically like a large-scale wholesale market.” Gu Mengmeng laughed as she said.

  Gregory smiled and nodded, as he said, “Okay.”


  He did not tell Gu Mengmeng that he was still more used to silence but he felt delighted when she was making the noise.

  He did not like any sounds other than the one she made.

  After having breakfast, Gregory gave Gu Mengmeng ten Xue Ling fruits that he had freshly picked that day.

  It was quite greasy for her to eat grilled meat in the early morning, so it was quite refreshing to eat some fruits.

  “Next time bring me along when you pick the fruits, I want to spend some time admiring the scenery on Motou Mountains.” Gu Mengmeng said as she ate.

  Gregory thought for a while, shook his head to reject her suggestion and said, “The wind is too strong outside, you will freeze.”


  Seeing her frown, he felt bad so he added, “Six days later, wouldn’t there be no wind and snow on Motou Mountains for half a day? Then you can properly admire the scenery.”


  With Gregory saying that, Gu Mengmeng became even more excited about six days later.

  After retrieving Love of the Sky, she could return home to rear more fox cubs and her family would become more lively. Hede and his brothers were growing so quickly that they would no longer play with her anymore, she had to be quick and give birth to more adorable children.

  With such beautiful thoughts in mind, Gu Mengmeng started to hum instinctively while that random piece of melody made Gregory mesmerised.

  By the time Gu Mengmeng realised that Gregory had become dazed while looking at her, half a day had passed.

  “Hey, snap out of it.” Gu Mengmeng placed five fingers in front of Gregory and waved it. Then, Gregory returned to his senses and with slight embarrassment, he cleared his throat and said, “I did not know that you could even sing.”


  Gu Mengmeng’s eyes lit up as she looked at Gregory and said, “Right, I heard from Lea that the males from Birds tribe can also sing well.”


  Gregory nodded and replied, “Except that they do not sing as well as you do.”


  Gu Mengmeng hugged her knees and said to Gregory, “Sing a song for me.”


  Gregory was also not shy. He nodded his head, hugged Gu Mengmeng in his arms and sang a tune with his deep voice beside her ears. It was deep and light, slow and graceful, as though it was an European piano playing a famous piece. It was not bustling with life but every note touched people’s hearts.

  During the whole time, there were no lyrics and only humming of the tune, but it still enchanted Gu Mengmeng.

  He hugged her and gently swayed to the rhythm, as though they were dancing together.

  At the end of the tune, Gu Mengmeng could not stop herself and looked at Gregory with a mesmerised gaze.

  Gregory was drunk in her gaze and felt as though he lost himself.

  His lips curled upwards unknowingly. In this moment, his mind was blank and his eyes only had her.

  “You like it?” Gregory asked softly.

  Gu Mengmeng nodded her head without holding back, then tried to mimick his humming. However, she could not hum with that feeling that he gave off. Even though there were no lyrics, it was filled with deep emotions that she could not learn.

  “I shall return the gift and sing a song for you as well.” Gu Mengmeng smiled and said.

  Gregory thought hard about her returning the gift and wanted to ask, ‘Since I like you, can you also like me? Then this will be considered returning the gift.’ but these words were stuck in his throat and he only said “alright” in the end.
