Chapter 218: No, Stay Calm!Gu Mengmeng almost choked to death on her own saliva.
She looked at Elvis plaintively and thought to herself, “You’re not comforting me even a little alright?!”
Elvis touched Gu Mengmeng’s face and then heaved a sigh of relief slowly.

Elvis looked as if a huge weight dropped off his shoulders and this made Gu Mengmeng feel a warm sensation in her heart. So, this was how it felt being treasured and being taken to heart by someone.
The fire in the cave had long been extinguished so Gu Mengmeng could not help but shudder while sitting in her blanket, feeling a little cold. Just when she wanted to huddle deeper into her blanket, Elvis came and hugged her in his arms.
“The blanket will not be warm after you open it. You can’t catch a cold again, I’ll just hug onto you.” As Elvis said, he took a wood from one side and started to light up a fire again while saying, “You must be hungry, aren’t you? Let me cook some food for you.”
Just after Elvis said those words, Gu Mengmeng felt the blood in her entire body boiling with indignation instantly. She cried out in agitation, as if she was on drugs, “No, calm down. Don’t try cooking again!”
Elvis stared at Gu Mengmeng, looking as if the stop button on him was pressed. The distance between them was too close and Gu Mengmeng felt a huge sense of pressure from his stare. She blinked her eyes and added, “What I meant was, in the future, leave all these trivial stuff like cooking to me. Don’t do it yourself.”
Elvis sat down cross-legged and said in a formal manner, “Females should be taken care of, I can’t let you strain yourself over all these things.”
Gu Mengmeng gave off a bitter and helpless laugh. She jabbed Elvis’s forehead lightly and said, “How did you establish your feudal ideology of putting women as priority? The Qing dynasty has already fallen, it’s the era of gender equality now, do you get it?”

Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis with eyes filled with induction and anticipation, signaling him to add on to where she stopped.
Elvis pursed his lips, looking as if he was struggling for a moment. Then, he glanced over at the entrance of the cave that was being sealed by the snow and slowly started to talk, “So… you should have two partners. If Lea’s here too…”
Gu Mengmeng’s face darkened, and she raised her hand to gesture a ‘stop’ action. She said in displeasure, “Lea has already decided to be together with Nina, he might be busy giving birth to Little Lea now. I can’t go to Nina’s bed to snatch him away just because I lack a cook, right? And furthermore, you’ve seen what manner Lea’s treating me with now…”
Gu Mengmeng felt her chest turning stuffy,, and she pounded on it hardly. Till she forced her breathing to become normal again, she then continued speaking, “I took so much effort to give up on him, can you not mention him again?”
Elvis remained silent and looked down, the corners of his eyes sweeping across the cave to the yellow roots piled aside… wasn’t that the manner Lea was treating Xiaomeng with?
Gu Mengmeng felt that she went overboard with chiding Elvis so she tidied up her emotions and stood up from Elvis’s arms. She wrapped the beast-skin that was on her even tighter and sniffled her blocked nose. Then, she said, “Isn’t it just cooking, I’m very good at it. In the future, you go out to hunt while I cook. This is called men’s work centering the outside while women’s work centering the home, working together with a due division of labor. Although at our side, ‘women’s work centering the home’ is also something in the past, but combining the real situation here together with my condition, I decided to give up on being a capable woman and just stick to being a housewife at home.”
