  “Why are you making me leave? Why do you not want to leave together?” Gu Mengmeng could not control her tears and roughly wiped it away. She sniffed and then said almost in a pleading voice, “Gregory, didn’t you say I am the most important to you? Didn’t you say you would listen to me so long as I coax you? I am coaxing you now, any method of coaxing is fine, just leave with me, alright?”


  Gregory was choking with sobs and his voice was trembling uncontrollably when he said, “Behave Baby Meng, don’t cry. Now…… I can no longer hug you to comfort you.”


  “Never mind, it doesn’t matter if you cannot hug me. I can hug you. Let me hug you, I will stop crying after hugging you, alright?” Gu Mengmeng tried to take another step closer but Gregory shouted with his deep voice, “If you come closer, I can only jump down from here.”


  “Don’t, don’t act rashly. I won’t go over, I will just not go over okay?” Gu Mengmeng was so frightened that she did not dare to move forward, worried that he might really jump down out of agitation. She had even stepped back and said, “I have moved back, moved back. Don’t jump, you don’t have wings now, even if I can fly I am not skilful, I am afraid that I won’t be able to catch you…… I am a coward, don’t scare me anymore, I beg you…… I am really afraid.”


  “Don’t come here and I won’t jump, so you don’t have to be afraid, don’t let my heart break. Behave, while the wind is not back yet, quickly leave, alright?” Gregory’s voice was coaxing, sincere and even pleading.

  Gu Mengmeng shook her head and replied, “You should leave with me. While the wind is not back, let me bring you and leave together. Aren’t you always waiting for me to like you? I like you, alright? Leave with me, I will definitely like you properly in the future and treat you well. Leave with me, I beg you, alright?”


  Gregory took a deep breath and his voice was filled with helplessness as he said, “I have said before, I don’t want to show you such a pathetic sight of me to earn your pity, so don’t say that you like me at such a time. Let me retain my last pride as a bird, alright?”


  “No no no! What stupid pride, how much is it worth?” Gu Mengmeng shouted at the top of her lungs, “So long as you leave with me, I don’t want any arrogance and pride. I can give them all to you, so long as you leave with me!”


  This was Motou Mountains and now Gregory does not have wings and is covered in injuries. It was easy to predict the outcome if he was left alone there.

  Gu Mengmeng had already caused Snakel’s death, she did not want to be responsible for Gregory’s death as well.

  She was the one who wanted Love of the Sky. If anyone had to pay the price, it should be her, why should someone else suffer on her behalf, why should someone pay their lives for her?

  She did not want it, she did not want it to happen!

  “Baby Meng, don’t be like this.” Gregory had been back facing Gu Mengmeng the whole time. He took a deep breath before he could force himself to sound more calm, then he slowly spoke, “I have been counting down. Be it initially at Sauder or afterwards when we come to Motou Mountains, I have always been counting down to the day that I would lose you…… Now that it has become like this, it’s also fine, at least I don’t have to worry about losing you the next second.”


  “I have said that you should leave with me, I will treat you nicely my entire life, you won’t ever lose me.” Gu Mengmeng pleaded earnestly, “You said that you don’t want to wield a sword, and only want to hold me for your entire life. You promised an entire life so it should be your entire life, a day less, a minute less or a second less is not an entire life! Gregory, you are a bird, and birds have their pride, you cannot go back on your words!”
